California Newspaper Speaks in High- est Terms of Those Who Reside in That State. Japan is a wonderful nation in a very great many wa it has accom- plished marvels, it has leaped forward at almost a single bound into a front place among the world powers, but we are convinced that the greatest thing about Japan is its women. All women are, of course, charming, but our observation ts that the women of Japan are especially and particu- larly so. We see much of them here in California, and we have an oppor- tunity to judge. To begin with, the majority of them are very pretty, and all of them huve a certain grace that can come only from centuries of gentleness and good breeding. They have soft voices, There is an irresistible appeal in thelr manners, It is often commented that the men of Japan have adapted themselves to Western ways with an incredible ease But they have not equaled their wom en in the performance of this difficult feat for an Oriental race to adapt it self to Occidental customs and habits In many social functions as well as in public, numerous Japanese women have been seen here in California The grace of their bearing and the charm of their manners have deeply impressed all with they have come in contact. Japan is a nation that had no music, yet the most popu jar singer on the operatic stage today whom is a Japanese woman, And this Is only an instance of thelr conquests. We do not think there is any ren son to worry about what Japan will or will not do in the world, Any na tion that can produce such women as that nation produces will not only succeed, but will endure.—Los Angeles Times. SHOULD END ALL ARGUMENT Ohio Newepaper Produces Proof That General Sherman in Speech De- clared War Was “Hell.” In answer to inquiries as to where Gen. William T. Sherman made his famous speech in which he defined war, and to refute intiimations that he never said it at all, the Columbus (0O.) Dispatch asserts that General Shermzn said it in Columbus on August 12, 1880, and in support of the assertion pro- duces from its files the copy of a short address he made there at that time, In which the now famous ex- pression defining war was made. The occasion was a reunion of the Civil war soldiers of Ohio. President Hayes was « guest of honor and most of the living generals of the Civil war were present. The addresses were made tn the open at Franklin park. It was raining hard when General Sherman's turn came to speak, but he stood out uncovered and delivered his short speech As published, it con tained just 308 words. Alluding to the fact that old soldiers did not mind the rain, he continued : “You all know that this is not sol- dlering. There is many a boy'here to. day who thinks war is all glory, but, boys, It is all hell. You can bear that warning to generations yet to come. I look upon it with horror, but, if it has to come, I ain here.” This last clause brought great ap- plause and when It subsided the gen- eral proceeded on line of | thought. another A Call for Heroes. Man's opportunity for the display of personal heroism has apparently not ceased at the signing of the armistice, for a call has just been issued in a London daily newspaper for “Volun- teers 1,000 sportsmen of good social position, to wear upon a given day new fushions, to bring back color and Iiwe tuto masculine attire.” The black frock cout with its ruffles, the pink breeches, the silk stockings, and the powdered wig of colonial days are conservative as compared with of the styles to obtain as fruition of this ideu; at least this is the opinion of its proponent, who sets as his defi- nite purpose the abolishment of the “dark, unssmmetrical” garments of to day and the adoption of clothes more in keeping with the new age of mantic chivalry. As a parting word, he reminds that courage—even to a | degree equal to that manifested by women in the upkeep of fashions—is essential to masculine success. some ro: Another Use for Airplanes. Men Interested in aviation have ad vanced the theory that photographie mups of cities made from views taken from an airpane, would be of value as a part of the records of the fire de- partments. They would be as valua ble to the fire chlef as similar maps of the battlefields of France proved to the commanders ¢ vies. Such a map, for instance, would enable the chief to know at a glance the best means of getting at a big fire, the surrounding roofs and so forth. By use of the map the dangerous areas and zones could be plotted in the same manner as ip wartime, Anxious.

By FRANCIS BURTON HARRISON, Governor-General of the Philippines, (First Article.) My six years’ ex- perience as gov- ernor- general of the Philippine Is- lands have con- Vinced me that the Filipino people are ready and fit to have their inde- pendence. I have recommended to Congress, as well as to the executive administration, that independence be granted. As to the question of the stability of government, I wish to say to the Am- erican people upon my responsibility as the governor-general that tf” my opinion there exists today in the Phil- ippine Islands a stable government, which I think should answer the re- quirements laid down by Presidents Grant and McKinley, and as I under- stand It, also by Mr, Root—namely, @ nent elected by the suffrage of people, which is supported by the people, which ts capable of maintain- ing order and of fulfilling its interna- tional obligations, Iam very glad to go on record as be- ing entirely in sympathy with the as- pirations of the Filipino nation for in- dependence, I have recommended to Congress that in granting independence some provision be made similar to what is known as the Platt amendment In the treaty wilh Cuba, which restricts the ability of the new republic in berrow- ing of foreign governments and also permits the United States to Interfere with the affairs of the new republic in case conditions of disorder should he found to prevail, Such recommenda- tion does not come as an expression of the views of the Filipinos; it is my own view of what would be desirable to secure a feeling of confidence and satisfaction on the part of all persons who have already invested money in the Philippines or who contemplate do ing so in the near future, But it is not right that Independence itself should longer be delayed. Gov. Gen. Harrison By temperament, by experience, by financial ability, in eve way, the 11,000,000 Filipinos are entitled to be free from every government except of their own choice. They are intelli- gent enough to decide for themselves, I have found the native Filipino of- ficial to be honest, efficient and as ca- pable of administering executive posi- tlons as any men I have met anywhere in the world, These officials are today governing 1,000 municipalities and forty-two provinces, economically, efficiently and for the good of the entire people, They have a native congress, including many graduates of Yale, Princeton, Harvard and other American universities, Oth- er members are graduates of Santo To- mas and other Philippine universities, and in education and ability they com pare favorably with any I know, They have leaders like Speaker Os- mena of the House of Representatives and President Quezon of the Senate who would adorn any office, The Philippines are away ahead of the United States {n successful gover ment ownership and operation of pub Hie utilities. The government took hold of the steam railways and made them pay @ profit of 1,000,000 pesos a year more than under private ownership. It took hold of the highways, and we have 7,000 miles of the best mac adamized roads tn the world. The Manila city government is about to take over the street railways and the gas and electric plants, while the ter- ritorial government ts arranging for ownership and control of the coal sup- ply.

The frequent pub- | ication of pictures of semi-naked Min- danao Moros and Igorotes has caused many Americans to believe y are typical of the inhabitants of the Philippines. Such is far from the case, however. Of 11,000,000 Inhab- itants of the islands, 10,500,000 are @ Christian, civilized people with a cul ture and refinement thet will compare very favorably with that of other na- | tons. The Filipino women are excep | tionally modest. A street flirtation ip Manila, so far as a Filipino woman is concerned, is something that is almost unknown, as any Americ that bas visited Mauila will testify, 4 RACE, en eerie ee ee eee | { i
