WENTY years ago Soichiro Asano, an able Japanese manufac- 7 turer visiting America via the Pacific route, was impressed by the poor quarters given him on an American steamer and by the general backwardness manifested by our people in seizing the trade of the Pacific. He then and there conceived the idea of form- ing « first class steamship line, In dae time the line came into being in the Toyo Kisen Kaisha, which runs the finest steamers on the western ocean. Mr. Asano is now again in New York-—brought hither by the complete retirement of the improved Pacific Mail squadron from the Pacifio—with the purpose of taking further steps to provide proper facilities for commerce between America and the Orient. It has been left to this Japanese gentleman, who began life as a laborer under mediaeval conditions, to see the Pacific with a vision denied the most enterprising nation in the world—so we fondly fool ourselves into thinking it. With a world trade before us we are unable to kep seven steam- ships afloat on the Pacific. The Japanese steamers, now supreme, are far superior in equipment, speed and service to their American rivals. Thigty ships are now on the stocks in Japan, ready at an early date to take up the traffic abandoned by England and Germany. A fleet of Japanese vesgels already plies, by way of the Panama Canal, hetween New York and Vladivostok. Is the next Congress going to see in facts like these only texte from which to preach more Yellow Peril? WHY NINE? ” should it take nine commissioners to conserve the forests ofcthe State?

The pending proposal before that body is for a conservation commitsion of nine:members, consisting of one member from each judicial district, appointed. by the’ Governor and removable by the Governor, to serve. without’ compensation, the term of each commissioner after those first appointed to be nine years, and one commissioner to be appointed in each year. ing.
