Show IJj Japan may also be lighting for the , liberty of. Russia, as the war is cn-couraglng cn-couraglng tho Russian revolutionists. "J Perhaps Mr. Condle feels that It is h useless to clean the streets when they 'j are as likely as not to get dlrty,ngaln. Japan will be fair enough to strive 1 1 to fix the Russian army so that it can-,jj can-,jj not do any boasting over the Russian Ii The men -who furnish the emokc of ' the city arc doubtless having another , good laugh at tho idea that they must ;l stop doing It. ;j The Australians are too hard on Dowlc; they get up a mob to chase him. In the United States ho was allowed to i chase himself. I But pe,oplo must bo patient In the ; i mattor of tho condition of the streets, j ' as the street department, you sec, can-I can-I not hurry tho sun. j The Mayor can overcome tjic Republican Repub-lican majority easily if ho can just have his way about interpreting the j law as to appointments. i But just as you get the geography '. of those countries over there in Asia B. straightened out in your mind, it will H" be Just your luck to have it all changed. Evidently tho theory of Mayor Mor-. Mor-. rls is that by electing a Republican . Council the people showed that they fl I wanted Democrats in all tho city of-j of-j flees, Hj England is heartily in favor of an Hj agreement that will keep other Euro-L Euro-L pcan countries from acquiring new ler-H ler-H rltory In Asia, while it marches into Tibet. On the other hand, the opponents of HT Bryan can safely offer almost any sum as a prize for a platform not framed H' by Bryan himself that will meet his Hj approval. Should there bo no limitation' on H; lawn sprinkling next summer, how H; many good citizens will look back and think of the many pleasant evenings they spent last season sprinkling con-trary con-trary to law! The Albanians have been routed by the Turks, it appears, with heavy losses on both sides. If there is to be lighting at all and slaughter of men, that is the sort that he world can stand rather better than any other, for the Albanians and Turks are scourges H! of tho earth. H The breaking oft! of negotiations be-Hh be-Hh tween tho Pennsylvania railway forces arid those of George J. Gould Is un-fortunate un-fortunate as disturbing the flnan-clal flnan-clal and the industrial situation. It had been hoped that these great lnter-csts lnter-csts would come to an agreement and ease up on tho railway tension. But if tho light must continue, the public can take comfort in the thought that no one will lose who cannot afford to pay for his sport. Tho talk about a plant which looks like small sage brush, grows high up in the Colorado hills, and produces a high percentage of rubber, ought to be im-iportant im-iportant if there is enough of it, or if the plant can be propagated. Tho trouble with some of the wild- plants of the arid region is that they cannot be reduced to tillage or grown In the quantities desired. But if the plant grows In the Colorado hills, it probably grows In the hills of Wyoming, Utah, Idaho and .Montana. If so, and If it uroSuces rubber -as claimed, a most hn-fl hn-fl portant and lucrative industry ought to spring up from the discovery of its Not to be outdone In the proclamation and explanation business, tho Russian Government takes pains to inform the H world that it was caught by Japan in a B, state of unpreparedness for the war. If H1 this Is so, Russia should not have pushed her aggressions ' and menaces H. to the point of irritating and encroach-ing encroach-ing upon Japan to the point of unbear-ablencss. unbear-ablencss. The man who goes Up to an- 1 other with threats of what he Is going to do to him, can hardly get out of a bad situation if he is assaulted, by claiming that ho was not prepared to fight. And so with a nation; If It crowds H! another Into a corner, whero 'lt Is fight or knuckle, the nation that does the crowding surely makes Itself ridiculous by saying that it was caught unawares. The fact is that Russia finds herself very much to her dlsguat, a sort of outlaw out-law among the nations, with tho real sympathy of none, for her agressivencas and her doeelt in broken promises. |
