The sign- ing yesterday of the new quadruple treaty to preserve peace in the Pacific by the representatives of America, Britain, France and Japan automatically throws to the scrap heap the former ‘Anglo-Japanese alliance which was really a military under-| standing to be used in time of war rather than in times of peace. The new treaty is for the express purpose-of preserving peace.| For the controversy, which for a time seemed as if it might pr vent the signing of the treaty, viz., the relation between Ameri- ca and Japan with regard to the Island of Yap, there has been ;'¢ found a satisfactory solution and it has thus betome possible oy to negotiate the pact; America retains unrestricted cable and! wireless privileges on the island and Japan retains the admin- istrative control there. It also seems as if the Shantung question is to be settled sat- ‘isfactorily. While still negotiating and bargaining, the main jssue is agreed upon. China will get back the province of Shan- tung which caused so much trouble at Paris. This province has been the “Alsace-Lorraine” of the Far East. Tsinan railway, which was really the backbone of all the trou- ble, will be restored to China through the terms offered by that; nation and which are reported to be “liberal’ > With this sore thumb successfully wrapped up and tucked away, there seems little cause for fear in the final outcome of the Eastern question. . While many misgivings were felt at the opening of the conference, regarding the attitude of Japan when the Shantung question came up, for every one knew it was bound to come up,, these seem to have had little foundation for them as the attitude| of Japan so far has been one of conciliation and friendliness. With the acceptance of the naval ratio between Japan, Great Britain and United States, as originally set forth by Sec- retary Hughes and with the other accomplishments of the con- ference, were it to end now, it would have accomplished more ?lowardt world betterment than any previous conference of a sim- ilar nature, : s P . Y S— BOYS AND GIRLS IN BUSINESS The clubs of boys and girls organized under public direc- tion to promote interest in agricultural and domestic pursuits appear to have lapsed in the confusion growing out of the war. If they are still carried on to any large extent they at least are not getting the publicity that was accorded them a few years ago. We were often astonished by the story of how much bet- ter farmer a boy proved than his father in the production of corn, while the girls frequently demonstrated that they could beat their mothers in baking bread. Competition of that sort is worth while and should be encouraged. ¥ If less attention is being paid in this country to such con- tests, Canada appears to have taken up the idea. It'is stated| that 25,000 boys and girls in Manitoba alone engaged in business on their own hook. Considering the popslation of that prov- ince of the Dominion, the participation must have been gen- eral. One boy is reported to have deposited in bank $400 as the proceeds of the sale of his hogs. It was said in former times that it was the custom for the boy’s pig to become the father's hog. Boys’ tendency to leave the farm has been ascribed to such a cause. 'The Canadian boy’s pigs were his hogs when mar- keted, a condition likely to go far in encouraging the hoy to pur- sue his fathers’ occupation. The Manitoba enterprise was con- ducted upder provincial and dominion auspices, and with so many engaging in it, no doubt it yields a profit felt not only now but de™ined to increase. The impulse given to interest on the part of youth in agriculture and its possibilities is not realized in its full effect at once. It accamulates with the years. Boys and girls constitute the best crop:we grow and any any effort expended in inducing them to develop into profitable producers is worth while. ACCOMMODATING Chicago’s chief of police is very much peeved at the con- siderate treatment handed out to one of the guests of the jail there as evidenced when '“‘Lucky Tommy” O’Connor made his get-away a couple of days before he was to have been hanged. “They gave him everything but a road map and. a street direc- directory. He séems perfectly capable of finding his own way about the town, ; It is to be hoped there are not many people living in Chi- cago who look like “Tommy,” as the orders sent out to bring him in dead might prove disastrous to some of them. Prisoners are usually not furnished guns when they are shut up in prison. “Tommy"” seems to have been privileged in this regard. . It would be well for Chicago to make it a little more unsafe for criminals and more safe for citizens. It is within their own power to do this if they want to. Y B e e ] Faulty Arrangement.
