(Special Cor f wspondence).—“Japan must be given serious consideration in any commercial legislation which we en act in the figure,” said the president of a New York manufacturing con cern who was in Washington recent ly. “Japan is putting it all over us with respect to the far eastern trade, and the seamen’s law has given her such a monopoly of the carrying trade on the Pacific ocean that we are abso lutely at her mercy. The situation is well summed up in a letter which we recently received from an Ameri can firm with which we do business in China. They say: “Japanese ships now practically control the com merce between the States and China, an3 these are ordered by the Japa nese government to give Japanese ports the preference in calling for cargo, while Japanese shippers in China receive preferential treat ment.” iinnieuiaieiy upon me passage oi the seamen’s law, which drove the American shipping off the Pacific, Ja pan raised her freight rates. From the Pacific coast to Shanghai, flour freights have advanced from $4 to $30 per ton; steel products from $8 to $59; general cargo from $10.50 to $40. With her control of shipping fa cilities Japan is able absolutely to dictate the terms on which we shall do business in the Orient. We have reports from one corporation on the coast which has 300,000 tons of freight waiting transportation to the Orient, with only 1,200 to 1,400 tons of cargo space per month available on Japanese boats. “As if democratic free trade and the seamen's law were not enough. Japan is showing her good faith with Great Britain by rigidly enforcing the British enemy trading regulations. A large amount of our trade with China before the war was handled through German and Austrian houses. To-day the Japanese shipping companies have placed a ban on any cargoes consigned to these houses and the enemy trading regulations are being handled in a way to further British and Japanese interests as much as possible. “As an indication of the aid which the democratic party is giving Japan, by foolish legislation, let me call at tention to the fact that during the calendar year 1914 and 1915, with the democratic tariff law on the statute books, Japan sent us goods to the value of $214,000,000, and took from us. during ^tliose two years but $104, 000,000 worth, or a balance of trade in her .favor, and against us, of $110, 000,000. “During the eight months of the fiscal year 1916. ended February last, Japan sent to us $89,000,000 worth of her goods* A tdtal of $95,000,000 worth of goods were brought to our shores in Japanese ships. It is a pretty safe bet that Japan is deliver ing every dollar’s worth of her ex ports to us in her own ships, and picking up a few million dollars worth of freight here and there along the route. Our own Pacific coast lines ceased to operate with the tak ing effect of the seamen’s act Novem ber. 1914. During the eight months +.. .-__ ended February, 1915, Japan sent us $69,000,000 worth of her goods, and $41,000,000 worth of merchandise came in Japanese vessels. “Every line sailing out of the Flowery Kingdom is heavily sub sidized by the Japanese government. The democratic party refuses us a subsidy, but insists on spending fifty or sixty millions for ships to be operated by the government. This is an impractical scheme which will take millions of dollars from the peo pie, and which is subversive of pri vate initiative. No private concern will go into shipping business in com petition with government ships. Our hope lies in a republican administra tion next year.” Charles A. Towne, democrat and former United States Senator from Minnesota, now a resident of New York, says “for practical considera tions, personal and professional, I have decided not to be a candidate for the senate.” This will cause a sigh of relief on the part of certain aspirants to the senatorial toga, who may have feared the redoubtable Mr. Towne. Towne served out the unex pired term caused by the death oi Senator Cushman K. Davis, of Min nesota. He was in the senate about a year, being appointed by that ex pert on Mexico affairs, John Lind, who was governor of Minnesota in 1900 Towne served in the senate until the voters could get together and vote on the matter, and then Senator Mose Clapp chased him to the bush league Since then he has been interviewed extensively on the prpbibilities ni democratic success. His prophecies have been generally optimistic, and al ways wrong. According to the Department o£ Commerce definition a can of army beef stew is not a war munition. The department admits that shrapnel is a munition of war. A can of beef stew fills a soldier full of "pep”, a can oi schrapnel fills him full of holes, and yet a soldier cannot properly handle ihe latter unless he is comfortably ful jt the former. According to the nar row definition of “munitions” given by the Department of Commerce $50, 000,000 worth left this cojuntry in March for Euroqe. That includes firearms, cartridges and explosives This is quite a concession for the do partment to make, because $50,000. 000 represents one-eight of our tota xprts for the month of March last. Rear Admirel Caperton has beer ordered to Santo Domingo with th< cruiser Prairie and a strong force o; marines to put a stop to the activities of factional leaders seeking to over throw the Jiminez government. A study of Woodrow’s policy with re spect to Santo Domingo has impresset us with the belief that he is confiden the United States can lick that coun try. Indications are to the effect tha Carranza is nearing the end of hi: rope. And ropes, you know, are pro verbially short in Mexico. Simplicity, they say, is to be tin mode in feminine wearing appare this summer. Such, too, was the cast in the days of Mother Eve. With a salary of $670,000 a year Charley Chaplin is a living examph of the fact that even a fool strikes i rich once in a while. If we keep right on rating this as a good town others will soon be think ing as we do. Give ’er anothe: boost. The fellow who seeks to kill twi birds with one stone often finds tha both victims are buzzards.

The parcel post busi ness has reached the limit of the mail wagons now. It is certainly a great business and is only in its infancy. The carrier looks for parcel post busi ; ness to grow so much that in a few years the mail will be delivered by one carrier and the parcel post by another carrier. Corn planting has been the order of the day the past week. One and : thirty-one hundredths of rain fell pnt > ting the ground in excellent shape for everything. Alfalfa will soon be in bloom. Some winter wheat looks good while some locals very poor. In ten days you will not know they are the same fields. Upland pastures look poor while bottom pastures look good. A newly made graded road ought to be dragged not less than two times immediately after the grading. Don't let the work stand for a day or two. It is, true that the drag will pull one third heavier if dragged right after the grader. But it packs the ground down evenly leaving no high and low places. If dragged right after the grader the roads are in fine shape for the drag the balance of the year. Don’t leave a newly worked piece of road to finish in the morning, knock off an hour or two earlier and finish the. same night. There is coming a time and is not far distant when a man will be hired to do nothing but drag roads. ASHTON NEWS August Mudloff, of Farwell, was here on business Friday.
