Kin has returned from an Eastern trip, in the course of which he He visited Washington and Philadelphia. candibrings the latest news concerning the dacy of Hon. Alton B. Parker, which, by the way, Mr. King most earnestly favors. The judge finds that President Roosevelt is now quite unpopular with his own party, and that the selection of a conservative and well poised candidate by the Democratic party, will afford to dissatisfied Republicans an opportunity to rebuke Rooseveltism without endangering the wefare'of the country. In this view the nomination of Parker becomes a practical certainty, as it is a necessity. t THEY DONT FORGIVE IN THE SOUTH. A far. faint echo of the famous campaign of 18. comes to us from Richmond, Virginia. James R. Gordon, a prominent business man of that bustling city of the South, was urged by the commercial interest of the community to become a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the mayorality. He was popular and apparently acceptable. The movement was very strong in his direction and he seemed assured of success until some politician happened to recall thateightyearsagoMr. Gordon refused to support William J. Bryan and the Democratic platform, and that he voted for William McKinley. When this fact became known such a howl of protest was raised that Mr. Gordon was compelled to retire from the fight, leaving the field to his opponents. They dont forgive a Democratic in the South as readily as they forgive a Republican in Utah. If all the members of the G. O. P. in this state who voted for Bryan in .18, had been excluded from aspiring to nomination by their party there would be some big gaps in the congressional delegation, in the governorship, in the mayoralties, and most of the bosses of the G. 0. P. throughout the state would still be in retirement. 19k OUR ORIENTAL TRADE. UTAH STATE JOURNAL OGDEN, UTAH. STATE JOURNAL, MONDAY, APRIL 11, years ago we sent to Only of less Japan American products to the value than two million yen a yen being about one-ha- lf dollar of our money. In 1900 we sent to that country goods amounting to more than 62,000,000 yen or 17.91 per cent of Japans entire imports. Of this total the largest item of export is raw cotton which by 1902 amounted to more than 9,000,000; and the next largest item is illuminating oil of which we send to Japan more than $5,000,000 worth annually. For our cotton and oil Japan sends back to us raw silk and the exchange of our cotton for her silk is the largest single item of Pacific ocean commerce. From the rapid increase of our trade with Japan it has become the fashion to argue that the awakening of China would produce for us a market similar to that which has been opened in Japan vastly greater, of course, because of the greater population; but this ex pectation is not justified. Japan seeks to affiliate with the progressive countries of the earth and her people desire to imitate the fashions and use the goods of the United States and Europe. Exactly the contrary is the case with China. Her people conceive themselves to be infinitely superior to any other race of human beings on the face of the earth. They do not care for our goods and when China shall really be opened to the modern method she will continue to be a small consumer of our goods and a large producer of goods in competition with us. twenty-thre- e 4 NO KANSAS BEAUTY SHOW. The prominent women of Kansas have exhibited their good sense by refusing to countenance a proposed Kansas beauty show at the Worlds fair. It was origiaally designed by the commissioners of Kansas, that there should be an exhibit of pretty girls of their state in the Kansas building. The proposi- tion had received such endorsement as to seem practically assured; when the good women of the state interposed to say that it was and immoral to put the girls of Kansas on such exhibition. Eastern papers had spoken of the beauty show and the fat stock show of Kansas, and the women insisted that the girls would be treated by the press generally as mere live stock and that the worst class of men would be attracted to the CATHOLIC BOSTON. show.
