NUMBER 30 I

The Japanese Question . According to Toklo despatches public opinion in Japan is decidedly opposed to any solution of the San Francisco school problem, on the bas!3 of the restriction of the admission of Japanese laborers into the United States. A strongly worded appeal has already been received in Japan from the Japanese in San Francisco asking for national support in settling the San Francisco controversy by restricting the admission of laborers into the United States. From the tenor of these Japanese despatches, it begins to look as though Japan really did not care to have the matter settled in any other manner than war. From start to finish of the whole affair Japan has adopted a more or less unyielding stand. In fact so aggressive has been her stand that it gives the impression that the Japanese rather feel that if the game comes to a show down they have the deck stacked against us. And from the preponderance of her power in the Facific we rather feel that Japan may have some cause to feel so confident. In speaking of this affair before the senate, Senator Tillman said, "If the man (President Roosevelt) a the White House had not taken it upon himself to meddle with everything in the United States he would not have had this Issue here." A statement which leads us to think that after all Senator Tillman does not fully realize that the question of the power of the whole United States as compared to the power of a single state, was settled some forty years ago. President Roosevelt Interferred in the San Francisco school dispute only when that city as a part of the state of California was violating a treaty between the United States and Japan. And that same interfer enco of the President' !&s proved a blessing in disguise for it has showed us what Japan's real designs on this country are, and that to carry them out successfully she Is willing to settle the issue by an appeal to arms if necessary. There is no dodging the clever trap Japan seems to have laid for us. Aided by a set of agitating asses n San Francisco we are skillfully being led into a position from which It will be difficult to withdraw without suffering an Insult to our national pride. And if we won't swallow the insult well, if four armoured cruisers and a couple of arks masquerading under the names of monsters, will count for any thing against Japan's great navy then we shall be all right. Rut we are very much affraid the little U. S. squadron In the far east would be but a mouthful for Japan's fleet. Manned by veterans of the greatest modern naval war ever undertaken, and with the completion of the Panama canal still some ten years off, Japan might be able to handle our Atlantic fleet, weakened by the terrible trip around Cape Horn, as it did Russia's Baltic fleet. It is the unthinking agitator of the Tillman type whom we have to fear more than the agitator of President Roosevelt's type, for the present trouble has all been induced through the machinations of the former class out in San Francisco.

IN FAVOR OF MEASURE

REDUCES WORKING HOURS

A Majority cf the Local Trainmen

Sanction the La Follette Bill Now Pending Before the National Legis

lative Body.

Many of the local train men who

are for or against the La Follette bill now pending before congress for the regulation of the time of service for

! all trainmen, not to exceed sixteen

hours, are writing Congressman Watson to vote for or against the bill. Opinions among local trainmen and employes differ considerably upon the bill. Some of the men would have the limit of service increased to eighteen hours, while others would favor an even lower limit. The majority, however, sanction the bill as it now stands.

TOURIST BUSINESS HEAVY

MUCH TRAVEL TO SOUTH

Public To Be Protected.

Newspaper publicity has again proven its graet worth to the public. As a result of the publicity given to the discovery of the tuberculosis existing among some cattle in Wayne county by the Palladium, steps are to be taken at once to bring about a more thorough inspection of all cattle slaughtered In Richmond for local consumption. Dr. Marvel, county health officer, has taken a hand in the matter and intends to co-operate with Dr. Wagoner, government inspector.' Without a doubt council will take up this question at its next meeting, Monday night. If council has at heart the best interests of Richmond it will take immediate steps to secure proper and thorough investigation of all live stock slaughtered in this city. Furthermore It should take drastic means to provide that all milk sold in Richmond does not come from any herds in which tuberculosis exists. Protection or. this point is just as important to our citizens as Is the thorough investigation of all beef. There are thousands of children in our city whose health might be endangered through drinking milk taken from a diseased cow. These Investigations may cost the city more money but we do not reckon in dollars and cents when we are considering the health of our fellow citizens and their children. We therefore advise our subscribers to use what ever influence they may have with their council men, in order that there shall be no delay in taking immediate steps to provide for safe guarding the public health by a thorough examination of all beef slaughtered here.

Local Ticket Officers are Being Swamped With Literature Relating to the Beauty of the Various Winter Resorts.

The Pennsylvania ticket office was last week flooded with advertising circulars from other railroads, principally those offering rates to southern and

western tourist. The railroads of the southwest are at this time putting particular emphasis upon travel into old Mexico, and literature is rapidly finding its way into Richmond. The Jamestown exposition is also being pushed by the railroad companies at this time, and yesterday small pamphlets filled to the brim with beautiful half-tones, setting off the beauties of the exposition, were received here. Southern railroads have taken their cue from the increased business for the south this winter, which is said

to be greater than in any year past, and are swamping the local office with literature.

Inter-line tickets, good on the interurban lines of Indiana and Ohio, have been placed on sale at the local station. By the new arrangement any one desiring to do so can buy a ticket at the local office for any point located on interurban lines in this state or Ohio.

The bill now pending requires the

establishment of a state board of telegrapher examiners, and also requires all railroad telegraphers to pass a successful examination before they are entitled to serve In their present capacity. , Jt will greatly affect a few

of the men located in the Richmond

office, and will tend to play havoc with the Richmond division in general, in that "cub" operators will be barred from service and experienced men will have to attend to the duties which the young men are now performing. It will mean that the Pennsylvania will have to each year pay out a great amount of money in addition to the present salaries. In speaking of the matter yesterday, an official in the superintendent's office in the local offices said: "It would give the telegraphers power to tie up every mile of railroad in Indiana." Speaking in the sense of reality, he

These have proven highly satisfactory to the traveling public but there was such a strong demand for interchangeable one way, or round trip tickets in the few weeks all along the lines in Indiana and Ohio that at the last meeting of the general managers and officials of the road in Indianapolis, it was decided to issue the inter-line tickets. In addition to saving time and worry, which have heretofore been spent in purchasing tickets at points of change, the buying of the pasteboard, will also save the purchaser considerable money and expecially is this true when round trip inter-line tickets are bought.

by the Indianapolis and Eastern traction line, for use between Richmond

and Indianapolis and that road gained great notoriety by placing them in service. It is said that their installation set a rather fictitious value upon the road, and the promoters of the former line succeeded in clearing several thousands of dollars when the road was sold into its present hands. It was thought at the time of theh installation that they would be extremely popular, but a few trips proved that they were unsatisfactory. The cars were then placed in the Greenfield car barns, where they were par-

bill and hope to see It pass. In speaking of it yesterday, an operator who has been in the service of the Pennsylvania in this city for several years, said, "You see it is this way. According to the present law a seventeen year old boy can become a railroad telegrapher and in many cases these youngsters are placed in responsible positions, the burdens of which, in realtiy, should be carried on broader and older shoulders.

In the good old-fashioned dajs of our grandmothers few drugs were used in medicines. They relied upon roots and herbs to cure weaknesses and disease, and their knowledge of roots and herbs was far greater than that of women today. It was in this study of roots and herbs that Lydia E. Pink ham, of Lynn, Mass , discovered and gave to the women of the world a remedy more ootent and efficacious than

This medicine made from native roots and herbs contains no narcotics orother harmful drufrs and today holda the record for the largest number of actual cures of female diseases of any medicine the world has ever known, and thousands of voluntary testimonials are on file in the laboratory at Lynn, Mass., which testify to its wonderful value. Mrs. C. E. Fink, of Carnegie. Pa., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham." "I wish every suffering woman would take Lydia E. Pinkham a Vegetable Compound and write to you for advice. It has done me a world of good and what it has accomplished for me I know it will do for other." When women are troubled with Irregularities, Displacements, Ulceration.

"At least two of the local accommodation trains running in and out of Richmond on our road, will probably

be discontinued, if congress passes the bill recommended by the committee, lowering the present mail ratc.3." said a railroad official at the Pennsylvania station yesterday. The house committee has recommended that the government lessen the rates twentyfive to thirty per cent for the transportation of the government's mail, and it will work hardship with railroads running accommodations simply for money made on mail contracts. Under present conditions there are at least two such trains running out of Richmond, which it would be unprofitable for the Penpsylvanla to run, in case the postal rates were lowered, they being run at the present time simply for the money that is made from the carrying of the mail. The discontinuances will also affect local business men, as the many country people who come to this city to do their shopping on these local trains, would have to drive, and as the result, many of them would trado in the towns closer to their homes. It is rumored that the business men and several railroad men will write to

The Western Passenger association in Chicago has announced that none of the western roads will offer popular priced excursions during the coming summer and according to the statements of a passenger agent at the local station yesterday, it is probable that at the next meeting of the Central Passenger association, which will be held In Chicago soon; the same step will be taken. The Pennsylvania Is a member of the Central Passenger association and the road will probably follow the footsteps taken by that association-

Announcement Is Made That the Pennsylvania Lines Will Equip All Divisions Some Are Already Installed. Large Sums Expended.

Rushville, Ind., Feb. 16, (Spl.) Announcement has been made in Columbus that the Panhandle will extend its block signal system imme

diately until every division of the road is equipped. Part of the Louisville

divisions will receive attention, and when the system has been installed

on these parts of the road the entire Panhandle will be equipped with the

block system. This Improvement costs

a large sum of money, but the offi

cials are of the opinion that it is necessary for the safety of the travel

ing public. The Pittsburg, Indianapolis and Cincinnati divisions are already equipped with the latest block signal system, and those have been very valuable the last few weeks in the movement of trains practically on their schedule time.

NO INSTRUCTIONS RECEIVED. As yet the local Pennsylvania ticket office has received no instructions to begin selling the one thousand mile interchangeable books, as was contemplated several months ago. It is said that the two cent law is directly responsible owing to the fact that the purchaser would save nothing by purchasing the books, they being sold at a flat rate of two cents, the same as will be the tickets in the future. L. O. SCHAEFER IN CITY. L. O. Schaefer, traveling passenger agent for the Cotton Belt route or the St. Louis and Southwestern Ry. company was in the city yesterday on business. His headquarters are in Indianapolis. He stated that his road was doing an unusually heavy passenger business for southern points at

The Pennsylvania ticket offices In

this city have received several new

rates for western points to go in ef

fect during the present month. The new rates are exclusive of the Cen

tral Passenger ticket extension sheets which have been in effect for some

time. The new rate schedules recently issued by the company will now enable the ticket agents to offer many more different routes to the prospec

tive traveler and at lower rates, thereby securing a greater portion of the traffic, which has heretofore been going to competing companies. This in addition to the recent announcement of the three months ticket, good for stop offs at any point along the line, will place the Pennsylvania in the position as the leader, so far as competition for western business is

concerned.
