NEEDLESS WORRY.
In his recent speech in East St.
Louis. Congressman McKinley warn
ed his hearers that the Japanese
nation threatens to “overwhelm the
world."
Careful consideration, says the St.
Louis Republic, will indicate that
Mr. McKinley underestimates the
stability of this mundane sphere.;
A world which managed to keep its
equilibrium for the last four years!
against the shocks imposed by a
greater nation than Japan, and one
which, relatively to the strength of
the world at large, was greater
than Japan is ever likely to be, is
not likely to be tumbled over by
any nation.
Moreover, the failure of Germany
when it undertook an overwhelming
war taught a double lesson. Ambi-;
tious nations learned that any at
tempt at extensive conquest will
bring the whole world into line .
against the conqueror, and the :
whole world has learned to believe !
that wars can be prevented by in- j
ternationa! co-operation.
If Japan has really harbored the .
conquering ambition, which the ene
mies of Japan think they see, still j
Japanese statesmen w'ould know that
any attempt to gratify that ambi- ■
tion would lead straight to the abyss .
into which Germany is plunged.
Instead of worrying about the
Japanese peril at this time, the
United States would do better to .
cultivate Japanese good will. Japan,
not by reason of any evil ambition,
but because of racial and national
superiority, is likely to be the dom
inant element in Far Eastern af
fairs for many years to come. Noth
ing stands in the way of this pros
pect except the possibility of new
birth of enterprise in ancient China,
and that possibility is remote and
problematical. Japanese ascendancy
is an existing fact, which no amount
of wordy aspersion on this side of
the water will remove. To recog
nize it and act upon it is wisdom
for America. To persistently stir
un su:-pieion and ill feeling is follv.
YUKON’S WHITE HOPE.
The Mayo silver district is loom
ing big ir. the eyes of the mining
■world, and every report coming
from there is more flattering than
the previous one. writes the editor
of the Whitehorse Star. A few
months ago, when the Dawson News
optimistically spoke editorially of
the Mayo silver veins as ‘‘The White
Hope of the Yukon,” it attracted
but little attention except among
those who were interested in the
properties then located, which, while
known to be valuable, were con
sidered to be limited in extent and
likewise so inaccessible that the hope
of working them profitably was prac
tically nil. Since then the price
of silver has steadily advanced, and
persistent prospecting in the Mayo
area has developed the existence |
there of an immense zone of miner-'
alized quartz, the predominating
feature of which is high-grade silver'
■ore.
Whether the winter in the Dawson
Daily News made his prognostics- I
tions while in a state of dairvoy- i
jance, or from actual inside informa
j tion, cuts but little ice at the pres
l ent time, for the reason that his
i prophecies now appear to have
; reached the initial stage 'of their
j fulfillment, and the Mayo district,
j in the allurement of its raiment of
shimmering silver, will soon indeed
| become in fact “The White Hope of
the Yukon." virile and unconquer-1
i able, and as magnetically capable j
: of attracting the attention of the i
| whole world as were the glittering i
particles of metal found in the
Klondike sands in the summer of
1896.
PREMATURE CLAIMS.
Because the president of the new 1
. German republic was a saddler and ;
because Trotsky was a cafe waiter,
the Socialists, remarks the Juneau
Daily Empire, have jumped to the
conclusion that their form of gov
ernment is the most truly repre
sentative, and therefore to be ac
cepted everywhere. They are de
ceived by their apparent ignorance
of history. Taking even the mon
archical phase, it is to be remem
bered that it was a blacksmith who
founded the royal Serbian house, j
and his leather apron was the stan- :
dard of the fighting forces on the I
battlefield. Lloyd George was the j
son of a poor non-conformist minis- ;
ter of the Gospel, and w'as schooled
at the expense of an uncle who re
paired miners' shoes.
What they seem to ignore is the
remarkable series of promotions
from lowly stations to the highest
in this country. Jackson emerged'
from a prison camp a half-naked i
bov with actually no resources. Lin-'
, coin split rails and worked as a '
laborer on a flatboat for a living, j
Johnson, who succeeded him, was a
:
journeyman tailor. Grant was a j
tanner and Garfield drove a team i
on the canals. Taft, like Trotsky,
gained a living as a reporter, and
Wilson taught school in a girls'
academy. There are other instances
of a similar character. Indeed, it
may be said of Amriean Presidents
that none was born in the purple. ]
The rank, as Burns said very
well, is but the stamp on the coin.
Its metal may be counterfeit.
