Petrograd to London, thence to + Paris, and finally to Rome, Explains Commission’s Plans. Baron Sakatani, who speaks Eng- lish fluently, said: “The Imperial commission was appointed for the purpose of attending the Paris con- ference, and also of visiting those countries in Europe now our allies, and of ascertaining in a definite way how the commerce of Japan can be increased with them, what they can sell us,. and what we can sell them, especially as relates to products they formerly obtained from Germany and Austria-Hungary. There is also the question-of delivering goods. Japan has three large steamship lines at resent and they are building as rap fdly as possible more ships, as rates in the far ‘east have risen out of all reasonable proportions .since the re- moval of German ships from this trade. We are willing to trade heav- ily with Europe, since in my opinion Europe will not be so long making up its present war losses as might be thought, Of course the amount of these losses will depend on the length of the war, and that depends on the success of the Russian and other powers’ offensives. But should the war énd in a. reasonable time, the people of Europe will have been quickened by the war spirit; they will work harder to make up their losses. “As regards the relations between the United States and Japan, it must be remembered always that we look with gratitude upon the United States as the country which sixty years ago put us in communication with the outside world, after a period of 2,500 years of almost non-communication with any other people than those of our own islands, except a few rare in- stances. . Reports Are Shifted. “In recent years there have been world-wide reports that the two countries had conflicting interests which would eventually bring them to war. First, the United States thought we might attack her, according to these reports. Now the reports have been shifted the other way, At home | It has been stated we want the | Philippine islands. It is far better for | Japan to have the United States de- selop those islands, She is able to spend the money needed to do it and eventually bring about the trouble situation, on a smaller scale, that hac so long existed in the Balkans of Europe. ! *We cannot read the future, but for the present these are the facts re- | rarding Japan's attitude, and I am | glad to state that The Associated | Press has in the past permitted Japan | to place the truth before the people | of the United States. In so doing, i renders a service to the mutual inter- ests of these two peoples.” Persistent Advertising of Anything g‘:h‘alt Is Really Worth-While Never ! ails. we are not, and it is a fine thing for us and our trade to have peaceful and | prosperous neighbors, no matter who | they are, It is one of the economic errors of the present, for instance, to suppose that the losses of Europe are | the gains of the United States and Japan, because they happen to be sell- | ing supplies. We are sure to feel those losses in Europe in the end, “Now for the Russian treaty and | Japan’s attitude towards China. It l as been freely stated that the Japan- ese are upfair and dishonest in busi- ness, [ will admit that there is a good deal of truth-in this, so far as concerns us in the past. It must be remembered that when the United States and European merchants began to trade with us, silver was worth about one-fifteenth as much as gold | among them, whereas, with us, it was | worth one-fourth as much, by our coinage act. These merchants took | advantage of this situation and ex- changed their silver for gold. Out people here got ‘the idea that foreign- ers were tricky and it may be said they retaliated in kind, as a matter of self-protection. Latterly, however, we have started our young men to commercial schools and the{ have learned international ways of doing business, and I feel sure in the future we will no longer suffer for a con- dition which grew out of a miscon- ception as to what business meant. “The Russians and the Japanese have learned and well understood since the unfortunate war of 1904-05 the 1 tional characteristics of each other, und fradmlly we have become quite friendly. The new treaty merely puts this spirit on paper, and is not inimical either to English or American interests in China, Explodes Alarmist Report. “Let me right here explode the old alarmist report that the Japanese want a yellow-race domination of the east.

MARTIN {s 56 years of age, was born and reared at Pittsburgh, Pa., where he read law for four years prior to coming to Nebraska. He was educated at Wooster University, Wooster, Ohio, and La- fayette College at Easton, Pa. He came_ to Ncbru? in 1883 and first located at Columbus, where he practiced law until 1885, when moved to County, Neb. He has devoted his entire time and energy to the practice of the law n this state ever since, excepting d:flnx the years 1809 and 1900, when he was legal advis€r of th diting ent of the United States located at Havana, Cuba, un- der the military oceupation of Cuba. As evidence of his conception of the duties of the office to which he nf!ru. and for the purpose of advising the electors of Ne. braska as to his conduct in that office if elected, he announses the following. PLATFORM o Equality before the law. Remove the law's vexatious delays. Substantial justice unhampered by techni- | calities. o Purify the courts by severe punishmenf for perjuty. No politics or favoritism known on the nch. H “To do the right as God gives me to see the right.” Would Appreciate Your Support and there is no trouble, But when they or two or three cigars (more ofter Henry T. Clarke,..lr. Chair(ndn Nebraska State Ratlway Commission Candidate for Re-Election Henry T. Clarke, jr., senior member of the Nebraska State Rail- way Commission, is the candidate of the republican party-to succeed himself. Mr. Clarke submits his candidacy, first, on his long experience in this public work, and, second, on his record while a member of the commission. His platform is simple and easily understood. He is mak- ing no promises which cannot be fulfilled. The Staté Railway Commission was created to set- tle disputes betweeh the people and corporagions which under- take to serve the people. It is to the interest of the public that these disputes be settled correctly, even should a de- cision be rendered in favor of the corporation, To the best of his ability Mr. Clarke has sought in the past, and will seek in the future, if elected, to carry out the intent of the people when they created the State Railway Commission —to render exact justice to all. This is the foundation principle of ‘the great American govern- ment, and unless the State Rail- way Commission, with its wide 2 powers and multiplicity*f duties, adheres to this prineiple it falls of the purpose the people had when they passed the constitutional amendment creating it. Although s comparatively young man, Mr. Clarke has seen much publie ser- vige. He is a Nebraska product. He was born at Bellevue, Nebraska, in 1875, the son of Henry T, Clarke, sr., a territorial pioneer and prominent citizen, who helped shabe the early career of the infant state. He was educated in the Omaha public schools and later graduated from Chicago university and from the law school of the University of Michigan. Mr. Clarke, as the anti-machine candidate, was twice elected to the legislature by the voters of Douglas county, and served in the 1905 session and the famous progressive session of 1907, He was one of the hardest fighters in that session for progressive measures put through at that time and now on the statutes of Nebraska in the interest of the whole people. He introduced and conducted the fight for the child labor law, and was the author and chief supporter in the house of the terminal tax law. He was chalrman of the couference committee on the puré food bill and did much to make it an effective enactment. With other be- lievers in fulfilling platform pledges he led the fight for the direct primary law, He was a stalwart supporter of the anti aw, both in the 1005 and 1007 ses- sions. As chairman of the house committee on engrossed and enrolled bills in that session he so performed his' duties that not a mistake was made in the house committee on any law passed in that session. ) Mr. Clarke was appointed a railway commissioner by Governor Sheldon to £ill & vacancy of a féw months. He was elected for & three-year term in 1907 and for a six-year term in 1910. Mr. Clarke played an important part in the forma- tion of that most monumental work of the Nebraska Commisston, the revision and reduction of class freight rates in Nebrasks. This freight reduction order of the Commission, which has savéd vast sums of money already to the people of the state, is now on trial for its existence, and it behooves the voters to continue in office men who thoroughly understand the questions involved and who are now in the midst of the fight to save the life of that order.

He was re-elected four years later. In 1908 he was appoint- ed Judge of the Supreme Court by Gov- ernor Sheldon.. Nominated at the Repub- lican Primary in 1909, he was elected in November and is now completing his eighth year as Judge. Four years ago he was elected by his associates as acting Chief Justice, and in that capacity has at all times presided in the absence of the Chief Justice. On the death of Chief Jus- tice Hollenbeck, in 1915, his associates Jjoined in a written request to the governor for his appointment as Chief Justice. He is now a candidate for that office on the non-partisan ballot. Judge Fawcett enlisted in the Sixteenth Wisconsin Infantry at the age of 14 years and served until the close of the Civil War. He was twice severely wounded. Heis a man of vigorous health, of wide experi- ence and fearless in his.convictions.
