SANTA CRUZ EVENING SENTINEL MONDAY, MARCH 14, 1904. WHY WE LIKE THE JAP. EVENING SENTINEL PIBLISIILD BT Dcscao McPttrsoa Chas. W. Waldron PROPRIETORS.

Office: Cor. Pacific Av. anu Locust St This will break down every line of demarcation and lead to a free. Indiscriminate mingling of people as 'well as goods. Common trade will make a common people.

Canada will come to us of her own accord, by her own interests and her own vote. It will have no savor of comparison, but the logic of inexorable conditions fashioned by fate. While we are not anxious for more Spanish territory or Latin race citizenship, still it Is tout natural that we should absorb all the West Indies unless it be an Island England wishe3 to retain. South America Is our great trouble, with her constant revolutions, quarrels between Republics and international complications because she will not pay her debts. She is a thorn in our side.

She can not rule herself, aid we do not want any of her south of the Panama Canal. The Monroe Doctrine keeps other nations from dolus the ruling act. The only thing to produce a change in South America would be more common school days. The only future trouble the United States has In sight is South America. California Wheatine All the food element! that Nature puts into the choicest" white wheat grown in California is combined in Wheatine the purest and best of all breakfast foods.

"Absolutely the only wheat food with all the gluten In and all the indigestible fibre out." Sold in 2 by ill' high class grocera. A GREEN GIRL. Aside from any commercial interests or sentimental ones like helping or sympathizing with the under dog, we like the Jap because he Is like ourselves in so many ideals; and again because we feel we were the first to start him on his wondrous march of enlightenment and civilization. Japan, then, seems a sort of ward or a child Commodore Perry introduced us to, and whom we have had a kindly, almost proud and affectionate interest in ever since. As soon as Japan got a taste of the civilization we brought her she absorbed all that came to her and went out on her own hook to get more, and, not unstrange to say, copied from our institutions, such as our postal system, railway management and even In the make up of her wondrous constitu tion framed "by that genius of the Orl- ent.

Count Ito. In addition to all this, Japan breathes the air of liberality and freedom. The Individual and national characteristics and Ideals of the Japs are such as to commend their possessors to the big American heart "A fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind." These traits are thus enumerated: "Japan has gone steadily forward in the work of liberalizing her political Institutions. She knows no Church and State; all religions, sects and creeds are free as the air within her borders. The lives and property, whether of native or foreign nationalities, whether of one belief or another, are zealously safeguarded.

No pagan, Christian or Jew is under the ban of law or even prejudice in her domains; none is 'banished, hunted, persecuted, outraged or cruelly, brutally done to death for his or her opinion'3 sake. The schools are open to the teachers and learners of all truth; the freedom of speech and press Is assured; Japan has no Siberia for political offenders; her people are not, oppressed by arrogant, arbitrary officialism and privileged class despots; they are not ruthlessly massacred, whether they bow to the graven image or to the true God; her international obligations are not trampled under foot In total disregard of her solemn promises; she does not flout her -word and arrogantly, brutally and mockingly oppress her weaker neighbors as do the cruel, merciless minions of the- It can readily be seen from this why we like the Japs. They are Americanized Orientals who. In point of tolerance and wide liberality, have bettered the instruction of their Western friend and model. A Reed Sraoot case would not disturb Japan a particle, and she must smile at our warfare of creeds, sometimes bigotry and intolerance and at all points our credal infallibility, lint in the main the characteristics of Americans and Japs are the same, so far as ideals or habits'of thought, are concerned.

Our respective governments are based upon the same fundamental, eternal principles freedom of thought, speech, press and action; separation of Church and State; no arbitrary officialism or privileged class rule, and, finally, the will of the people the supreme law of the land. In this the Jap is our brother. No wonder we like him. ME AND PAT M'BRIDE. Stretching away on every hand, A fair domain you see A part belongs to Pat McBride.

A part belongs to me. I own thp golden light of morn. With all the tints that play Upon the springing grass and corn Pat owns the corn and hay. I own the catbird, thrush and jay, The larks that sing and soar; Pat owns the barnyard fowl3 that, stay About the stable door. And when the shadows on yon stream Are changing every hour.

I own the risht to float and dream, Pat owns the water power. Mine is the murmur of this rill. Whose sweet tones never cease, But all the air with music fill-Pat owns that flock of geese. I own yon creamy summer cloud That o'er the meadow floats Like some pure angel in a shroud Pat owns the Berkshirt shoats. So Pat does me a world of good.

While I do Pat no harm And on these terms well understood. We both enjoy the farm. Commercial Advertiser. WARNING THE COMBATANTS. Oh, Russia, pause before you start To write a bloody story; Be sure you have no Austinvitch To celebrate the glory.

In a letter to a home paper Congress-man Scott of Kansas, says that Speaker Cannon frequently Joins the crowd in the lobby at the rear of the hall of representatives. There discussion runs free.

The other day something was naid about expansion which caught Mr. Cannon's attention, and he proceeded to give his own views upon the question. His first remark was that within a hundred years the flag of the United States would be flying over every foot of the North American continent. "To the South," he added, "we will have to go in order to main-lain law and order. We have already had to interfere In Cuba.

It seems Inevitable that we can not much longer permit the continuance of the conditions of anarchy which now exist in the islands of Saiato Domingo and Haytl. Within twenty-five years probably we will have to practically take charge of all the islands in the West Indies except those now controlled by European powers. Mexico is tranquil enough so long as Diaz lives, but after him chaos will come again, and the United States will have to step in to restore order. To the north there will eventually be free trade between Canada and the United States, and the commercial identity thus established will eventually lead to political union." This Is not such a boastful statement of a condition and expectation as may appear at first 'blush. It Is "manifest destiny1' that the United States must eventually absorb the whole or North America.

Canada is English-speaking and Anglo-Saxon at base. Without doubt, as Speaker Cannon asserts, free trade will before a very distant date be established between Canada and the United States. too much Exercise is as bad as too little for till growing girl. It is very easy for her to overdo, and this is especially dangerous at critical period of a young girl's life when she croeacs the line of wotnat hood. It is not an uncommon thing to lay the foundation for years of after misery by neglect of necessary precautions at the first "change of life." The use of Dr.

Piewe's Favorite Prescription not enly establishes regularity, but it gives health to the entire womanly organism. It is the best medicine for diseases peculiar to women because it ctires tb causes of disease completely and permanently.

Y. mm mm FAIR WARNING. At top of column, next to "pure reading," on the editorial page of the "Sentinel" this morning the foreman of the Grand Jury expresses himself as fol- lows: Ed. I see that the Grand Jury. Instead of disbandoning, as heretofore, sometimes without doing anything, has taken a recess.

This Is wise and well. I know, as a fact, that the existence of this body is having a salutary influence. Its existence is against a "wide open town," and in favor of the enforcement of law, of order, sobriety and temperance. There are too many slot machines, and if report is true, too much gambling going on In this county. Surf.

Jn other words, the Surf stands against, the position taken in the "Sentinel" communication, gambling and all. There let Its editor remain. President Roosevelt is said to have vetoed emphatically the proposition to strengthen the American naval squadron in the Far East, on the ground that this country should not and must not be drawn into the quarrel between Japanese and Moscovite, and that the force already maintained on the Asiatic station was adequate to any duties likely to devolve upon it, even though one or two of its vessels should be brought home for repairs. This Is right, and should set at rest the fears of those partisans who insist that President Roosevelt, being a soldier. Is longing for a fight.

Every one In the United States is of the opinion of the President, that we have nothing to do with the conflict, and that we purpose to respect the principles of neutrality so elaborately set forth by the administration not long ago. Capable, clean, strong men only should be elected to office, not simply those who enjoy a superficial popularity, but those, who have a sense of personal responsibility and an appreciation of the sacredness of a public trust. San Jose Mercury. It was good news to learn that Fred Swanton and H. E.

Irish had sold twenty-three lots while at Reno. Nevada. Those sales mean the bringing to Santa Cruz of Reno people and Reno money, two counts to the good. Colonel Watterson has formally announced that he will support Mr. Hearst for the Presidency should he I succeed In capturing the St.

Louis con-j vention, of which Mr. Watterson has sworn he will never be a member. The Japs are so secretive that it is impossible to tell whether the first land 'battle will be at Ping Pong. Chow Chow or Yum Yum. Mr.

Hearst has already captured several of the Southern States. Mr. Cleveland should look to his trout lines Meredith Townsend has written a book whose sole purpose is to demonstrate the Impossibility of permanent conquest of Asia by Europe. "Asia." he says, "which survived the Greek and the Roman and the Crusader, will survive also the Teuton and the It is his profound belief that the English influence In India is purely superficial. "There are not ten thousand natives in India today," he says, "who.

unpaid and uncoerced, would die in defense of British Again: "Beneath the small film of white men who make up the 'Indian Empire' boils or sleeps away a sea of dark men, incurably If England were defeated at war. India, he says, would rise against her. Miss Jeanette L. Gilder, the editor of The Critic, tells an odd story of a green serving maid. The maid had just come over from Ireland, and a Brooklyn woman engaged her.

A bell hung in the girl's room, and the morning after her arrival her mistress rang this bell to get. her up. But the maid did not get up. though the bell rang and rang. Finally, therefore, the mistress rose herself, and, slipping on a dressing-gown, she hast- ened to the new servant's room.

There, wide awake, the maid lay, laughing at the top of her lungs. "What on earth are you laughing at, Norah?" said the mistress. "Faith, mum," Norah answered, "I'm laughln" at that bell. As sure as I live I haven't touched it, an' just see it's waggin' yet." Ambition is a glorious cheat, as defeated candidates learn while standing on their seat.

M. M. THE MOTHERLOOK. "As one from whom his mother com-forteth." Isaiah, 13. You take the finest woman with the roses in her cheeks.

An' all th' birds a singin' in her voice each time she speaks; Her hair all black an' gleamin', or a glowin' mass o' gold An' still th" tale o' beauty isn't more than half way told. There ain't a word that tells It; all description it denes Th' motherlook that lingers In a hap py woman's eyes. A woman's eyes will sparkle In her innocence an' fun. Or snap a warnin' message to th' ones she wants to shun. In pleasure or in anger there Is always han'someness, But still there is a beauty that was surely made to bless A beauty that grows sweeter an' that all but glorifies Th' motherlook that sometimes comes into a woman's eyes.

It ain't a smile, exactly yet it's brim- mln full of joy, An' meltin' into sunshine when she bends above her boy Or girl when it's with its dreams told in its face; She smoothes its hair, an' pets it as she lifts it to its place. It leads all th' expressions, whether grave or gay or wise Th' motherlook that glimmers, in a lovin' woman's eyes. There ain't a picture of it. If there was they'd have to paint A picture of a woman mostly angel ati' some saint, An' make It still be human an' they'd have to blend the whole-There ain't a picture of it, for no one can paint a soul. No one can paint th' glory comin' straight from paradise Th' motherlook that lingers in a happy woman's eyes.
