JAPAN'S ATTITUDE
Since the pos-dhilitics of war with Mexico liavi hecome so
great, then* liave been constant rumor* of preparations beingj
m;a!" hv Japan to enter the conflict on the side <»I Mexico.
Knowing the attitude of the Japanese people toward the
United States, who feel that this country ha* in the past dis
criminated against them and not giv'ii them the consideration
to which, ns a first class power they led they are entitle*], the
possihilitv of her entering tin* war are not so remote as many
seem to think.
It is true that she already is engaged in the great war. Rut j
her part in the conflict is so slight that hath her navy and army,
an* fret* for use in other parts of the world it the occasion re
quires.
The greatest factor in keeping Japan out of the war is tin* j
pressure which would he brought to bear upon her by the allies
in Europe. They need the munitions of war which are being
furnished t<> Russia by the Japanese and to tin* other allies
by tin* United States. A war, the size of the conflict which
would result if Japan and America should' mix, would make it
impossible* for either contestant to ship the needed munitions
to the European war zone.
However, if Japan really is desirous of entering the war,
♦ be allies in Europe are not in a position to tell her what she
shall do.
Under present conditions, for the welfare of all concerned,
*t is to he hoped Japan will not decide to mix into the affair.
It would only mean a costly and sanguinary war, and the Jap ,
aneso eventually barred forever from this country.

THE SWATTING DAYS ARE HERE.
Best \v(* forget, swat tin* fly!
Everv flv w hich escaped the frosts ot May laid an average
of tit Ml eggs that month. These increased to 1 S'),000'in .Time,
and for ev(*rv fly which escapes the swatter this month there
will he r>4,000:00() eggs in duly. Figuring on only an average
hatch, this will mean many flies lor August. A tly killed this
month means reducing the census by several millions next
month.
But why swat the fly ?
Simply this: The common house fly, according to investi
gators, is one of tin* most common carriers of disease. It breeds
and' feeds on anything putrid, from decayed meat, sewage and
garbage to manure piles. From its hairy legs oozes a sticky
liquid which enables it to cling to whatever it touches. Natural
ly, these sticky, hairy legs carry more or loss of the filth and are
pretty sure to gather a considerable number of disease germs
from one place to another. A single fly can cany on its legs
enough typhoid fever to infect an entire community, and any
germ disease can In* communicated in the same way. Every
piece of human food over which a fly walks becomes con
taminated.
In the war against flies there will be no danger of the
innocent being slaughtered with the guilty, because there are
no innocent ones. By nature and environment the fly is a
menace to good health.
Therefore, swat the fly, and the sooner the batter.—Ta
coma News.
QUEER, VERY QUEER
Tin* government is bringing some six million feet of lumber
fioni the stall's to lie used in the construction of the railroad';
and it is just the beginning.
It beats all how they do things in Washington, D. C. For
instance, some rears ago one pinhead official persuaded the
president, to reserve the great torests nt Alaska that tutuie
generations might have some timber. That was well, because it j
was explained it prevented the greedy from fencing in the
whole. Nevertheless, the people objected and have been kick
ing ever since. Later a new administration come in and failed
to undo that which we all considered wrong. Not only that, but
Ibis administration apparently forbid itsell taking timber torj
its own use. We say forbid' itself—what else can we call it,i
since it has no right to take timber even to build its own rail
road. Either that or the timber is no good.
11 tin’ timber is worthless, why conserve it W h\ keep an
anm of fat officials to see that we don’t steal any? On the)
other hand, if the timber is good, why bring timber from the;
states at a cost of three times as much again as it would cost to!
take it from the reserves Jf the government liasj* little money
to waste, why not buy us a cable, for instance.’ This is obvious
ly a case where the old saying, “penny wise and pound foolish’’
applies. But that is the way they do things in Washington.
Queer, very queer:—Ketchikan Miner.

If reports of the tottering condition o fthe Carranza gov
ernment are correct it would appear that Carranza is resorting
io the threadbare device of arousing external trouble to divert
attention from conditions at home.
--:o:
A judge in Seattle holds it is not libel to call a councilman
a liar. As far as we have observed, councilmen are able to hold
their own when it comes to flinging this particular anathema.

Interest in the European war in financial circles at least
increases with each new loan floated here.
