THE COMING GREAT STRUGGLE
The suggestion of Admiral Evans!
that the next w*r is ukol> 10 come
between Japan and Russia, carries;
with it manifest evidences of likeli
hood. That Russia will rest content,
with the verdict rendered in the last,
war is ridiculously Improbable. All
that it hoped io achieve lie? buried
temporarily or permanently in that
part of the Orient. It still wants the
ice-free outlet iu that direction, lw|
first checkmate cannot be accepted,
as final in an enterprise so vital.
This time it will not underestimate |
its rival. It has learned much from,
its past experience, but it needed to!
learn very much. Above all things U
ueeded to learn honesty in the admin
istration of its public affairs. Men
and munitions were sacrificed becaus
of the dishonesty of Russia's officials. |
all of them high placed and brutally
indifferent to the fate of the country
*> long as they themselves profited. |
Kussia was tried in the balance and
fouud wanting. It proved, ou close in ,
kpcctlon, that it was practically a
iiuge bluff, that needed only to be
called to crumble away.
There were two surprises in the,
war. one the preparedness and won
derful efficiency of the Japanese, and ,
the Other the lack of preparedness j
and frightful inefficiency of the Rus
siaus. The problem before Russia isj
precisely the same as It was before,
the war, only it is now more difficult
of achievement. Japan is now clos
ing its grip on sections of the maln|
land, like Corea. and doubtless is
pushiug its determined way into;
Manchuria. The efficiency of its
army and navy is doubtless at the
top notch of efficiency, and the mor
ale of both branches is perhaps as
high as has ever been attained in I
any military organization in the his
tory of the world.
That Japan will permit Russia to
olde its time and strike whenever and
wherever it is best prepared, is alto- j
1,-ther unlikely, it is not probable |
tuat a single movement being made^
by Russia is being overlooked or its (
significance to the slightest degree!
underestimated by Japan. It is more
than probable that Japan is quite as
uesperately struggling to place itself
in a strong position position as Rus
y.a. The outcome is quite as vital to
Japan as it is to Russia, for that
country, once defeated, it must sink
back to an inferior place uot only iu
lae- world but iu the Orient.
The next struggle, when it comes,
is likely to be the most desperate and
bloody in all human history.? Fort
Laud Telegram.
Kor the past, three months the ed
itorial columns of the Juneau Record
have contained little else but scurril
ous aud bitter attacks on Emery Val
entine, mayor of Juneau. Yet there
was absolutely no opposition to MaytC
Valentine and although he was not
L.gh man on the ticket he was re
elected mayor. This is evidently Rai
ling to the sensitive soul of "Gloomy
Gus" O'Brien, for his abusive com-j
plaints sound to heaven. "Gus" j
should remember that knocks are
boosts from some people.
It might be said, without stretching!
the truth to any appreciable extent,;
that when it comes to Skagway poli-j
tics, "Gloomy Gus" O'Brien believes!
in hiding his light under a Bushell. ? j
Juneau Transcript.
If the Calhoun case continues at
its present rate of progress there is
danger that some of the jurors may ;
dlw of old a*>ei before the testimony |
is completed. It has taken thirteen
to secure a jury.
Therefore if thine enemy hunger,
feed him; if he thirst give him
drink: for in so doing thou shall heap
coals of fire on his head. ? Romans.
