THE HUMANITY OP JAPAN. Copies of the Iloelei Shimbun, one of the leading morning papers of Japan, have reached the United States and are of course, eagerly sought for. These papers are supposed to express the true attitude of Japan toward Russia and many good, Christian people will be surprised to note the humanity that bubbles over in a pagan editorial. The following is a good sample: "When the struggle is over, Russia will be our good neighbor and friend. " : Regarding the Russian prisoners now in possession of the Japanese, it has this to say: "There are not many of the enemy's captives with us at present. The four sailors from the Russian torpedo destroyers are in our hospital, and are well cared for. They were among the crew of sixty -who fought a valiant fight and bravely died at their posts. They are heroes though they be of the enemy. They are true sailors who have done their duty faithfully. Then why should we not honor them and treat them kindly? It is a fact to be regretted that our people, who were coming away from Manchuria, Vladivostok and vicinity wrere subjected to many indignities. Our helpless women were shamefully misused. But this is not an excuse for us to. treat the Russian captives unkindly. Revenge is sin; it is a bai-barous act. 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth,' belongs to an old law that is obsolete. We are living under a new law of universal brotherhood and love." This is the teaching of an editorial in a Japanese paper while over in St. Petersburg, the authorities are urging the Russian soldiers to destroy the pagan Japanese. Some of these days people will be asking, which of these two nations is Christian and which is pagan. BEVERIDGE HONORED AGAIN.
It is nothing new for our junior senator to be honored, and these honors are not limited to his own state or nation. The latest honor conferred is a review of his book, "The Russian Advance, "by The Edinburgh Review This is one of the oldest and most conservative magazines in the world and takes little, if any notice, of men or books unless they have merit. This very conservative British periodical declares that the book to be of "especial value at the present moment, when there is a serious risk that sympathy with Japan and a justifiable irritation with the methods of Russian diplomacy may lead both in England and the United States to a quite needless feeling of dislike to the Russian people." The Review commends Mr. Beveridge 's book as "exceedingly fair" and as showing 4 e very clearly and convincingly by numerous interesting details that however unjustifiable Russia's usurpation of Manchuria may have been, heroeeupation of it has emphatically been for the good of theinhabitants. " The same article further states that "a frank recognition of this need not in the least detract from sympathy with Japan, or from the belief that in the present struggle she has right on her side." ; , v In this last statement, the genius of the philosopher-statesman is recognized. Russia's usurpation may have been unjustifiable, yet it was for the good of the inhabitants. The world's history furnishes many examples of this kind but very few people discern the truth of them until they see them over the retrospect of generations and some times centuries. Beveridge's keen insight grasped it in a day and it will make him famous for centuries. ! ; The re-election of so many good Democratic mayors yesterday and the election of so many other Democrats to the office of chief municinal execu-
tive, shows that the people appreciate good and faithful service. Here's to all of them. Indianapolis Sentinel. Has the Sentinel heard from Terre Haute? The first concert of the May Festival, at the Coliseum last night, was preeminently a success. Actors and audience were in sympathetic touch from the first motion of the baton until the last melody died away amidst the applause of the music lovers of Richmond and those from pur neighboring towns?. V - . The Terre Haute Tribune has made a notable comparison ' between two events more than forty years apart. Here it is: ' ' "The first land battle of the Russians was not exactly a Bull Run but they made a bully run when they left twenty-eight guns behind them."
Mayor Fogarty of South Bend will be a candidate for governor before the Democratic state convention. But what do the Democrats propose to do with Mayor Holtzman? Indianapolis is bigger than South Bend. In looking over the results of '.f city elections in Indiana, we are '.viable to see any reason why the Democrats should be encouraged. Local issues are small factors in state and national elections.

CONCLUDING ARTICLE ON -LOUISIANA DOMAIN AND JEFFERSON'S INTERPREv TATION OF THE CON
STITUTION.
HIS CONSCIENCE ' AGAINST THE VOICE
Of the People Bat the People Win an Empire.
To the Editor of the Palladium : By the treaty of Paris which was concluded between the first consul of France and the envoys of the United States on the 30th of April, 1803, the.
tion. u He insisted that nj ' atnend-
mentefto the constitution waa neces
sary to authorize such " acquisition. This ias absurd and it took his friends! a long while ta iiqonyjnce : hjn of thgj Jf act. p:x-n IV
senator vv . u. JNieholas of Vir,
ginia,ja devoted friend .of the Presi-. dent, whote that he had examined the
constitution with much ' care and had reached the conclusion that the power to acquire and incorporate foreign territory into the Union was give A as broadly as it could be made. 'MrV Jefferson replied to this letter on the
7th of September, more than four
months after the treatv had" been
.4 - concluded, saying to Mr. Nicholas: ;
"I am aware of the force of the
observations you make on the power given by the constitution to Congress
to admit new states into the Union
without restraining the subject tb the
territory then constituting the 'Uni
ted States. But when I consider that
the limits of the United States are
precisely fixed by the treaty of 1783,
that the constitution expressly de dares itself to be made for the Uni
ted States, I cannot help believing
that the intention was to permit Con
gressfto admit into the Union new
states which should be formed ' out
of the territory for which and under whose authority alone they were then
acting. I do not believe it was meant
that -they might-receive England,' Ire
land, Holland,' etc., into it, which
would be the case under your con
struction. When an instrument ad
mits of two constructions, the one
sate, the other dangerous, the one
precise, the other indefinite, I prefer
that which is safe and precise. I had
rather ask an enlargement of power
from the nation where it is f. :ai nee essary than to assume it by a con
struction which would make our pow
ers boundless."
But Mr. Jefferson had in the meantime-been weakening in his opposition
to the treaty. His conscience still
urged him to resist, but the voice of
the people demanded his consent.' As
the voice of the people grew stronger
his conscience grew weaker, until at
lenrth it weakened altogether. He
wrote to Madison: "The less we say about the constitutional difficulties respecting Louisiana the better, and what is necessary for surmounting them must be done Sub Silentio." What Avas to be done in the ratification was to be done in silence. Jefferson was thin-skinned and he dreaded to have his inconsistencies commented upon in public debate. Only one day was allowed the senators, for discussion, but the treaty was fjjftified by a large majority. Jefferson had convened Congress on the 17th of October to ratify the treaty,, to provide for the stipulated price to be paid and to arrange for receiving and governing the acquired province. Everything went smoothly after Congress convened. An act providing for the reception of Louisiana was pass-
i ed and commissioners appointed to
receive it on behalf of the United
States. When the commissioners ar- j rived at New Orleans, the Spanish commissioners had just hauled down the flag of their country, and the flag of France had been flying for a day. The next day, on the 20th of
Heeember, 1803,. the French, flag was
lowered and the American flag;, was at once raised to the top of the same staff. On. that day Louisiana became United States soil and its people members of the great Republic. Mr. Jefferson's contest with his conscience, in approving the Louisiana purchase, was a severe one, but he conquered, it never afterward troubled him, in that connection. His government of the new territory i was;
in violation of every precept of government he had ever taught. He'took
no thought for the consent of thegov-
erned ; he gave the people no voice in
the management of their own affairs, did not make effort to protect them in their lives, their liberty or their property. He assumed all the author
ity of 'the Spanish monarch and ruled them as a despot. Full authority had
been given him by Congress and he
made his authority' .felt to the.. utmost. But we will let Col. Thomas H. Benton describe it.
..... Col. Benton says: "It was a start

sum of 80,000,000 francs. The payment was to be made by the issuing of United States covernment bonds
