THE JAPANESE MENACE.
The dispatches today inform us that the .Japanese govern
ment lit!' acquired 60,000 acres of land on tfie Atlantic sea
ls aid. located near the Panama canal, to be used as a naval
ba.-e. Japan litis no territorial interests in the western hem
isphere that demand protection and there can be no logical
reason assigned for the acquisition of this naval site other
than a design a> against the interests of the I nited States. i
It is probable that the state department is not unmindful]
of the activities of Japan and will successfully protest against]
the carrying out of the plans of the little men of Nippon. It |
would seem that the acquisition of this naval base would be j
directly in opposition to tlie Monroe Doctrine, a well-estab-1
lished policy on the part of the United States, and one which j
the people of the country demand shall be applied in this in
stance, assuming that the Japanese have in fact acquired the
land in question.
Opera can get entangled with politics and diplomacy as]
easily today, it appears, as when Verdi’s “Masked Ball” was |
bleached fit' its revolutionary color by the censor. AY lien Ma-;
icnco’s ballet “Excelsior,” was being prepared for revival at
Buenos Ayres for the present Italian opera season certain do-J
ings on the stage transpired which brought ministers of state
and the Colon theatre director into conference. It was found
that the grand scene, which in the scenario of a generation ago
represented the Latin races leading all others in the triumph
of progress, continued in the revised form to represent them
leading in the triumph of peace and justice. The whole pro
duction might have been upset but for a simple device. Flags
of all nations were waved in the scene, or at least enough na
tions to show that on the European question the opera public]
of Argentina was unpartisan.
The American of ebullient patriotism and alert musical
ear who is wont, when attending concerts, to jump to hi? feet
the instant the band gives an intimation of a national melody,
and starts other people in the audience out of their seats wit 11
out occasion, will no longer Le a cause of uneasiness in Balti
more, Md. According to municipal ruling there, indiscrimi
nate rendition of the United States national air, or parts of it
in connection with other pieces, is not to be countenanced. But
better than that, the citizen who desires to do his whole patri
otic duty, but to whom all tunes sound alike, will hereafter be
spared waiting for somebody to nudge him when the air be
gins. Since the ordinance requires that performers as well as
listeners shall stand, he has only to watch the stage to see what
to do.
It is strange to find, in the Canadian newspapers, pleas
for the maintenance of the hotels after these institutions shall
have been deprived of their bars. Speaking oil this question, a
Toronto contemporary says: “Xo doubt the coining of pro
hibition into effect in September will compel the closing of
many hotels that have afforded first-class accommodation to
the traveling public. . . . People who got nothing at the
hotels hut meals and comfortable quarters were seldom a
source of profit.” It seems reasonable to think that the hotel
businc-s can stand alone as well in Panada as in the 1 nited
States. The bar has long since* ceased to be an essential to ho
tel keeping on the southern side of the line, and greatly to the
advantage of the hotel and its patrons.
There is a tradesman in (iermany about whom more ought
to be heard in tin* future, if ingenuity and enterprise count for
anything. If there is one place in a Berman newspaper that is
sure of notice it is the black space indicating the censor’s work,
and it was of this fact that the tradesman in question took ad-j
vantage. He took a column in a certain newspaper, headed it
with the legend ••Raincoats for Officers and Civilians,” and at
the foot placed hi> name and the address of his shop, causing j
the intervening space to he blacked out in true censorial fadi
ion. There is little doubt but that his advertisement was
widely read, and much discussed.
The United States has entered into a parcel post arrange
ment with China under the terms of which packages up to II
pounds in weight may he sent from any postoffice in the first
named to any postoffice in the last named country at the post-1
age rate of 111 cents a pound. . raving some slight knowledge I
of the parcel post service between the United States and Can
ada, one is disposed to wonder if the agreement with China
provides that petty customs officers in the United States shall
not tear parcels to pieces in looking for an opportunity to col
lect a few cents in duties.
Very nearly half a million dollars now represent sthe sum
in the United States “conscience fund.” During the fiscal
year ended with last dune the contributions to it amounted
to $n4,!)23.15. This is, of course, encouraging, but it cannot
be said that the nation is doing its best in this particular while
the fund is receiving nothing, apparently, from beneficiaries
of oil dividends.
A well-informed man who recently passed through Chi
cago, en route from New York city to his mining interests on
the Konai peninsula, informs The Times that wagers are be
:ng laid at odds of two to one that Hughes will be the next
pro id|fht of the United States.
