JAPAXKSK C6MPETlTlO!f. There seems to be an Idea among cer tain of our manufacturers and exporters thst onr trade in the far east is to be seriously affected by Japanese compe tition. It is somewhat surprising to find the fnr constantly expressed that this great country, with all its vast re sources and possibilities, is really In danger of being outstripped in Its Asi atic trade by the nation that has just come out of a most destructive war, from which it will take her years to re cover. Such a view seems a sort of con fession of the inability of the American people to successfully compete with a country not by one-tenth part so well equipped for the trade battle In the far east In an address a few days ago before the Massachusetts State Hoard of Trade, the president of that organization, Mr. Charles Adams, referred to the activity of Japanese merchants in establishing cotton mills in Japan and said it would result in Japnn becoming a vigorous competitor In the contiguous Asiatic ter ritory, especially China. He thought there was danger of Japan absorbing America's cotton industry in China. There is no doubt of the possibility of this, but It does not seem to be a matter about which there need be any immedi ate concern. The question that naturally presents itself is as to how long it will take Japan to place herself In a position to absorb the cotton trade of Asia now held by this country. Having Just come out of a great war, that has made a tremendous drain upon her flnauclnl re sources, and in fact left her very nearly Impoverished, Japan cannot immedi ately enter upon a very active career of industrial and commercial develop ment. That she will do something in this direction with the least possible de lay there can be no doubt. The Japa nese understand fully their opportuni ties and they may be expected to take advantage of them as rapidly as pos sible. But there is need of capital which canuot t obtained at once and conse quently Japan's industrial growth must be gradual. She will be able to push forward only as rapidly as she can ob tain money to promote her industries and commerce and with ber present heavy indebtedness it will not be an altogether easy matter to secure for eign loans, if Japan should desire to do so. In the meantime it is to be presumed that American manufacturers will culti vate to the utmost the opportunity to secure trade in the Asiatic countries and especially in China. There is an obstacle in the latter country due to onr explosion policy, but this is not in surmountable. It is not as serious now as a few months ago and may soon dis appear altogether. Japanese competi tion In the far east is certain to be reckoned with, but it Is not likely to become very formidable, in the near future. rhAYlSO KING OAKVTt. The direct primary is Just as unavoid able as railroad rate regulation. Re sistance to these reforms on the part of railway corporations will prove unavail ing against the irresistible force of pub lic sentiment and corporation politicians and organs may as well submit grace fully. The primary election law enacted by the recent legislature for Douglas county exclusively is, douWless, de fective in may particulars and may be pronounced unconstitutional by the courts. The resolutions of the repub lican state convention, declaring in favor of direct primaries may have been a sop thrown to the reform element of the party, but it has struck a responsive chord in the rank and file of the party that Instinctively regards it as the fore runner of emancipation from corporate domination. It was naturally to have been ex pected that corporation spokesmen would seek to create prejudice against It, and it is not surprising that they should seelf to discourage the movement In its favor. Our amiable contempor ary, the Lincoln Star, for example, which voices the sentiment of corporate leadership, has labored hard ever since the direct primary resolutions were adopted by the republican state con vention to stem the tide of primary election eform by specious arguments and absurd objections. Its latest ab surdity is embodied in the following quotation from the Columbus Telegram, and its endorsement of the proposition that the next legislature shall enact a law that will comjiel every voter to at tend the primary: Down In Omaha we have seen a sample of the primary plan. The lost legislature passed a law requiring primary elections tn Douglas county. Well, they held such an election this fall, and It was partici pated In by only a small per cent of tne voters. The leaders got together a few days before the primary and agreed upon a st of candidates. The party workers rallied at the tall of the leadera and carried out their program. Not one In ten of the voters of Pouglns county took a hand In the primary contest, and the party manipulators had easier sailing than they usually have under the old convention plan of nominating candldatea. The Telegram favors a primary election law, but only with the understanding that the law shall compel every citizen to take part In the primary. We appeal to the advocates of tho primary law to study this vide of the question. We need a primary election law In this state. While we are getting such a law let u get a good one. Manifestly, the conclusions reached by the Columbus Telegram were based on the slim democratic vote polled at the primaries last month, but that can be accounted for very readily by the fact that the democrats nominated only a few candidates and the contest was narrowed down to two places. At the same primary the republicans polled 7,.'KI votes, or nearly 50 per -ent of the entire vote In the county. That was the largest uumler of votes ever polled t any primary In Douglas county. The suggestion of a compulsory primary election law is seurcely worth discussing. Before we can have a compulsory primary law we must have a compulsory general election law. Suchl a law, however, would be opposed by corporation politicians and newspapers Just as vigorously as they are opposing direct primary election reform In every state in the union. DEPAHTMEyTAL REFORMS- A few months r.go President Roose velt appointed a commission charged with the duty of investigating the busi ness methods in the various" depart ments and bureaus of the government. The object of this was to ascertain what reforms could be introduced, what could be done In the way of dispensing with or modifying certain red tape meth ods long In vogue aud which were be lieved to be an obstruction to business, and what was desirable In order to simplify and facilitate business. This commission has been actively engaged in the work assigned to It since Its appointment and It is stated that the work is now reaching a point where it is likely to take some definite form before a great while, either In the way of actual plans for changes In methods or else of suggestions and recommenda tions regarding the steps thot had tet ter be taken. The Washington corre spondent of an eastern paper remarks that the commission has been some what under fire ever since its inception and that various newspapers identified with local interests hove from time to time given it a rap as opportunity of fered. But this correspondent says that so far as can be Judged by unprejudiced witnesses the methods pursued by the commission In its Investigations have been more careful, scientific and ac curate than those which have been fol lowed out by any investigating body appointed by the government for a good while. "It seems to be clear, al though the information gathered by the commission has not been published, that it has succeeded in getting many re sults of very great Interest and value, while there can be ne doubt that in a number of different respects conditions in the departments have already stif fened up as a result of the commis sion's work." This sufficiently Justifies the wisdom of instituting the investigation. Even in advance of its report and recom mendations there has taken place re form and improvement in departmental and bureau methods. The simple fact is that the president, from personal ob servation and Information, had become convinced that the business methods In the executive departments of the govern ment could be improved, that there was too much "red tape" and circumlocu tion, that a great deal of time was being wasted in one way and another, and that a general reform in methods was needed. In order to arrive at the facts the commission was appointed and there appears to be every reason to expect that the result will be not only a de cided improvement in the efficiency of the public service, but a material reduc tion in expenses. This movement for departmental reforms is conclusive evi dence of the earnest purpose of the ad ministration to elevate the public serv ice to the highest standard of efficiency. A trolley line from uuiuha to Fort Crook and Bellevne has been a long felt want and if the line were supple mented by a macadamized roadway, as has been the trolley Hue between Omaha and Florence, suburban travel would be materially improved. Inns much, however, ns neither the city of Omaha nor the counties of Douglas and Surpy are in condition to finance the much needed road, the effort to have the Improvement made by Uncle Sam should be renewed in the next congress. We have the word of Quartermaster General Humphrey that the War de partment will cheerfully set apnrt a sufficient sum to execute the work, pro viding a clause is inserted in the army bill that will authorize It to be done. One of the fualou candidates for regent confesses to having committed the heinous offense of jbining John T. Rockefeller in raising a fund of $100, 000 to le donated to the university. But the valiant popocratlc organ has not yet called upon him to withdraw from the ticket. Now that tho supreme court has de cided the antl-clgarette law is not In conflict with the constitution, Nebraska cigarette smokers will take the whole responsibility for the consequences which the suction of the opiated weed may have tipou their cout(tutlous.

The relations between Germany and Oreat Britain, which have for some time been somewhat strained, and which have re cently been further embittered by the dis closures In connection with the Moroccan Incident, will not be Improved by the cir cumstance that the ktlser has decided to send a special mission, partly political, partly commercial In character, to Teheran, the Persian capital. The mission has been confided to Pr. von Rosen, an able man who haa an extensive knowledge of the orient, and who lately figured at Paris In the negotiations over the Moroccan Incident, snd whose instruc tions will be to do all he can to promote the commercial Interests of Germany In southern Persia and to cultivate the po litical friendship of the shah In the hope of obtaining concessions favorable to the ex tension of Oerman trade In southern Persia. It Is not so long Blnce the trade of southern Persia was exclusively In British hands, but within the last few years the German com petition has been extremely active and suc cessful and the proportion Of business done by Oerman merchants Is steadily and rap Idly increasing. In France the standing concern over the decline in population has taken the form of a committee to ascertain Its causes. M. Tves Guyot has made one report to the economic subcommittee, In which he has grievous things to say of the policy of pro tection In rendering the conditions of life harder. The figures which he amasses-nd analyzes convince him that "not t per cent" of the French people reap any advantage from the protective tariff, while all the rest pay tribute under It. M. Guyot is espe cially keen In pointing out the "unseen" taxes which the protective system levies. On bread and meat alone he estimates this tax In France to be as much a 840,000,000 a year. Similarly with most of the other necessaries of life. In a country whose fiscal policy compels the people to pay a, heavy toll on their dally bread It is not "tv"19 that ther snuld be reluctance to increase the number of mouths to be fed.

Their ceeuliar service was to lay the foundation, both in law and In public opinion, upon which modern for estry in France now rests. The forests of the French government are admirably man aged. They cover only about 2,750,000 acres, but they yield a net return each year of more than 12 an acre. Besides handling their natural forests with fePlfl.

The work of developing tliTirltih port of Dover Into a first-rate naval base and fortress, to rank with Gibraltar or Singa pore, Is proceeding apace. The great south ern breakwater of the Admiralty harbor, 1,400 yards long, begun leas than a year ago. la to be completed In eighteen months. To give an Idea of the gigantic nature of this work, it may be stated that the solid masonry is conatruoted In forty-five feet of water at low tide, Is seventy feet thick at the oast, and about 100 feet high. In eighteen monthe the harbor will be com pletely protected from the sea. and will afford fleets lying in it complete immunity from torpedo attack, being, with the ex ception of Portland, the only harbor In the l.'nlted Kingdom which offers these advantages. It is understood that a scheme for constructing a dock for submarines will appear In the forthcoming Parlia mentary estimates, and that floating dry docks will be stationed St Dover, although It is proposed that these should, if neces sary, be towed In war time to any base the fleet may be actually working from. In the construction of the Amabele-But-terworth railway. In Cape Colony, unusual difficulties had to be surmounted, and the result Is, from an engineering point of view, one of the most remarkable rail ways in existence. After passing through the Kel Hills the Une winds 'round an other hill, and then, at a lower level, goes under ita own track. This portion of the railways la known as the "Spiral." At an other point the line travels along 4he bank of the Mangulu river for two miles, and then doubles back for a mile and a half, so that, after covering three and a half miles, the train ia really only half a mile to the good This section Is called the "slgzag." and. with the spiral.

Can you afford to use alum baking powders even though they do cost you only ten cents a pound, a cent an ounce, or twenty-five cents a pound ? POLITICAL DRIFT. The author of a political novel Is a can didate for mayor of Toledo. Thus he will gain another novel experience. Just to show that Oregon hasn't a monop oly, a South Carolina court has sent to prison a former congressman convicted of land grabbing. Senator Raynor of Maryland haa cut loose from the state democratic machine and Issued a bold defi to Senator Gorman to do his worst. Tammany commends President Roosevelt. The fact Is interesting as evidence that Tammany occasionally diverts Its mind from the pie counter. Senator Joseph Benton Foraker's critics In Washington say that his presidential boom for 1908 Is already swelled to the pro portions of a good-sized Georgia "water million." Senator Foraker and Congressman Gros venor have recalled their promise to mix up In the Philadelphia row. They found themselves on political quicksands and hastily retreated. Zebulon B. Brockway, the eminent prison administrator and reformer, is now 7 years old, but he has Just been nominated by both democrats and republicans for mayor of Elmlra, N. T. John Temple Graves of Georgia, In an nouncing himself a candidate to succeed United States Senator Bacon, says: "I love the people and have faith In them, be cause I am one of them." Ozone! Although the campaign Is barely a week old, Tammany has ceased to regard as a Joke the candidacy of the Yellow Kid for mayor of New Tork. Betting odds on Mc Clellan have tumbled from 6 to 1 to S to 1. Philadelphia, New Tork and 8an Fran cisco are the only cities with local cam paigns hot enough to make the voters sit up and listen. The pie counter in each Is sufficiently appetising to create a bargain day rush. Congressman Charles K. Llttlofleld of Maine and his extreme prohibition follow ing have secured control of the republican party machinery In that state and there la prospect of such an active cold-water cam paign as Maine has not seen In many a day. F. M. Simpson, chairman of the re publican stale committee, has resigned and It Is an open secret that his withdrawal Is caused by the fact that the ultra prohibi tionists are in the saddle and mean to choose the course.

The question is now being asked at Washington whether a ship subsidy act may not be put through at the coining session of congress. Anticipations t areallsed. New York Tribune.
