'The Ohio platform does not pcommit Mr. Taft to an S-hour law; fedoes not favor income tax or IR a reduction of swollen fortunes by Has nothing to say it will regard the seizure as a casus belli and immediately begin war upon China. The larger but weaker nation is disposed to look upon the ultimatum as a bluff on Japan's part, but to any one who 1ms observed Japan's course in tho past, it is apparent she is anxious for any pretext which will afford opportunity to go to war with any nation not practically on an equal footing so far as the power of resistance is concerned. Unexpected success frequently leads to ultimate downfall.

Tho victories of Japan in the past has made her obstreperous and overbearing. Her object is to dominate the Orient and establish an Eastern power as opposed to tho advance of western civilization and commerce. If permitted to do so she will eventually make o.t China an appanage of the Japanese Empire, for no one can question that at tho present, China would be powerless in a combat between the two nations.

No reference is made to this jri'the Nebraska platform save that the navy shall not be used to collect private debts. Contrasting and comparing the two platforms, an analysis leads to the conclusion that the principles for which Mr, Bryan stands will Strike the more popular chord and meet with a more favorable response. Mr. Taft is handicapped in his efforts by the former atices and policies of his party. The Nebraska platform is clear and specific in its demands and the remedies suggested for counteracting 1 the evils it seeks to control.

That of Ohio is often vague, dealing in generalities and language which may mean something, or nothing. The advantage seems to lie with the Democrats in the principles enumerated and the remedies suggested. tion is piling up wrath against of and the c.ternal as much we shall, ever be. Harmon to be in Kansas City. Judson P.

Harmon, former Attorney General under President Cleveland, and a resident of Ohio, has accepted an invitation to address the Young Men's Democratic Club in Kansas City on the night of March 30, 190S. Hon. W. J. Bryan has also accepted an invitation, to be present and address the club, at that time, and it is thought an invitation, will be extended to Gov.

Johnson, of Minnesota to attend and address the club. It is thought by some that Judge Harmon may be a candidate for the presidential nomination; but it is more probable that his admirers and followers will endeavor to advance his nomination for th-3 Yice Prcsidencey. The Monitor believes Judge Harmon, is the logical candidate for Vice President. Owing to the division existing between the forces of Taft and Foraker in Ohio, it: the Democracy avails itself of the opportunity, the nomination of a strong man like Flkrmon. from Ohio for the Vice Presidency, will probably land the vote of Ohio in the Democratic column.

In. spite of Foraker's defeat in Ohio, he is still a force and has a large following many of whom will probably take a delight in pay ing their debt by supporting the They sing to-me of Italy, the ripple of its seas, Where white-winged yachts are borne along before the summer breeze; -They toll of Alpine highlands, 'where beauty stoops to lay Its glowing hand in rapture, when "sunset ends the day; The beautiful "blue Danube" with castellated towers, And sunny France, where merry maids dance through the sunny hours; And Spain, a purple cluster of: gorgeous vintage, glows, But give me old Missouri, -where the bine grass grows.

As anticipated, China has 'apologized to Japan for seizing the Tatsumaru and hauling down the Japanese colors. China still contends that the ship was loaded witlvarms intended for revolutionists in the interior of China and has demanded that be recalled and a suppression of this class'of traffic. Japan, with her usual crafty diplomacy intimates a willingness to consider tho matter but will no doubt proceed to make the case a pretext for financial settlement before adjustment. "With the heavy debt hanging over Japan it is necessary for her to originate some plan her finances. China is conveniently located and practically defenseless, is immensely wealthy and is an easy subject for spoliation.

The conviction is prevalent among the nations of the West that Japan has acted a hasty and highhanded manner. the value of advertising newspapers. He claimed that no other method brought such valuable returns. Frequently, an ad, which had stood for weeks without notice, would receive a response which brought a customer for the property, to the advantage of owner, purchaser and agent. Mr.

Little is right. Advertising is a profitable investment and newspaper advertising the most profitable method. Newspaper advertising insures general 'distribution for the advertiser and secures universal notice, to the extent of tho paper's circulation. It is more than local. It reaches a market that can be reached in no other way.

Frequently, by the investment of $1, or less, an agent realizes a commission on the sale of property, which if expended in would pay his advertising biU for several years. Such results establish the truth of the school boy's contention: "It pays to Advertise." The Mobcrly Monitor is oqiialed by few papers as an advertising medium. Consider this when you need any thing in that line. --v -v AN JNfCfU CE NTS put up in 100 pound bags at $1.00 per bag. on your grocer for Crys-Co-Grit and let your hens get busy.

CAIRO BUSINESS CHANGES The fight waxed ous. Though the Sophs put up fast and furi- outnumborecl, a game fight. Chairs, stools, tables and. any object that afforded protection was used as a barricade. Dishes of all kinds, fruits-and pastry and all other edibles were used as a means of offense and defense.

Plates and china and glassware of all kinds wore thrown and the room looked like a fire engine had been driven through it. Table clothes and napkins were thrown upon the floor uiid trampled under foot. The fight lasted twenty min- minutcs and terminated in the capture of the three Sophs after many bruised heads and cut faces were in evidence. They were tied hand and foot and dragged to an upper floor and bound to the steam pipes and a hot radiator, and. the Freshmen returned below to their guests and consumed what was left of the banquet.

The Sophs were released by a policeman later but not until they had been severely burned. It is such manifestations by students that is fast bringing our so- called higher education into disrepute.
