The boy who works for his educa
tion learns what an education is for,
and places it in its proper perspective
in his view of life, declares the Cincin
nati Post. No boy need despair because
his father is not rich enough to buy
him an education. If he wants it bad
enough, he can get it, and by working
for it get something better still along
with it.
Germany Is growing rapidly in popu
lation but for a long time France has
stood practically statronary in this re
spect. The French therefore have come
to despair of ever being able to over
come their old rival by force of num
bers. The fact that the last year show
ed a slight increase of births over
deaths, however, is making all French
men happy. But the gain was only 84,-
000 for the whole country.

The frequency of plagiarism by col
lege student orators, who while honest
enough about material things commit
mental theft unblushingiy, is difficult
to understand. Discovery is almost
inevitable, for the oration plagiarized
is usually one that has attained some
celebrity. The applause of the moment
is gained at a price all out of propor
tion to its value. It is a fact of odd
interest that last year’s winner and
this year’s prospective winner of an
lowa oratorical contest were each con
victed of plagiarism.
When Lord Salisbury was a boy 3t |
Eton ho was one of the best-flogged of
the small regiment of lads then attend
ing the famous school. President But
ler of Columbia University has just
told the Principals’ Club of New York
that his old master in School No. 1,
at Patterson, used to consider it one
of his first duties of each day to give
him his thrashing. President Butler
spoke for a return to the corporal pun
ishment in the city schools. “I hope,”
said he, “that some day our large
hearted, good-natured friends will give
us a chance to get back at the boy in
the only way he understands.” We like
to believe that the distinguished Co
lumbian did not quite mean that about
the boy. When the police captain sends
the reserves out after a riotous mob
with instructions j bring in no pris
oners it is with the tacit suggestion
that the mob is to be “subdued” by
what are assumed to be the only means
it can comprehend. One hesitates to
think even the most restless American
schoolboy in the category with the
rioter whose passion-blinded percep
tion can grasp nothing softer than a
blow.
A very notable woman’s club in the
notable Commonwealth of Massachu
setts has been debating the proposition
that while many women wish that they
might have been created men, no man
has ever expressed 'the desire to as
sume the position and responsibilities
of a woman, observes the New Haven
Register. As might be expected from
a club of emancipated women, the pro
position was held up to scorn and the
meeting decided that if the exchange
on the part of woman was ever desired
in the history of the world it has ceas
ed to be thought of in any intelligent
circle. We do not recall the name of
the Italian philosopher who argued,
rather speciously perhaps, that nature
aims to bring forth the most perfect
things, and that therefore she would al
ways bring forth men if she could. As
nature is spoken of In the feminine
gender and typifies the woman, it fol
lows, perhaps lamely. that nature
yearns for what she is not and by
yearning confesses her own small opin
ion of her sex. These are very interest
ing problems, and we trust that the
women's clubs will continue to discuss
them to the end that we may more
definitely establish the status of wom
an’s discontent. A 3 it cannot be de
nied that the more she encroaches
on the, province of the man the more
she seems to enjoy life herself, it may
be that as the man-woman she is about
to reach a mere perfect state. The club
ladies may yet improve on mediaeval
philosophy.
JAPS LAND ON KOREA.
Twenty Thousand Troops Embarked at
Chemulpo-Russia Makes
Fatal Mistake.
Information has reached Washing
ton that nearly 20,000 Japanese
troops were landed at Chemulpo Sun
day, the first division of a large num
ber which will be thrown into Korea
as rapidly as possible in the effort
thoroughly to occupy the strategic
points in the Hermit kingdom, while
the Russian fleet is bottled up in Port
Arthur. By one conversant with the
Japanese plans it is stated that the
repeated attacks on Port Arthur are
not for the purpose of seizing that
place at present, unless an unexpected
weakness in the fortifications there
should develop. They are part of a
well defined plan for the harassing of
the Russian fleet until Korea can be
occupied. The bottling up ot the fleet
there enables the landing of troops
on Korea with the convoy of a large
number of warships. The reports ot
popular disorder in various parts of
Korea hastened the operations of the
Japanese, that they might obtain pos
session before anarchy became preva
lent and foreign interests menaced in
consequence.
The taking of Port Arthur will form
I the second numoer of ITie war pro
gram. First, however, it is learned
that the Japanese propose to cut the
lines of communication well up on
the railroad running from New*
Chwang to Port Arthur. It is expected
a large Japanese force will land at
New Chwang shortly for this purpose.
No Americans on Board.
The navy department denies posi
tively that any American naval ofii
cers were aboard the Japanese ships
while fighting at Port Arthur. It is
said that our government requested
permission of bom Russia and Japan
to place an American naval officer
with each of the fleets not as a com
batant, but simply in the capacity oi
an observer. While neither power re
fused the request outright, still they
did not accede.
The war department is having equal
ly bad luck in trying to place Ameri
can military observers with the land
forces of Russia and Japan. Eight offi
cers were selected for this duty and
requests were made that they be per
mitted to accompany the forces in the
field, but a favorable response has not
yet been received, and it is feared
that it. will not be.
Mr. Takahira, the Japanese minister,
called upon Secretary Hay Monday
and said he understood that the report
ed detention of about 100 Japanese
subjects in Port Arthur was under
discussion. There seems to be lack
of positive information on this subject
and until the facts are known the
state department is inclined to go
slow in making representations to Rus
sia. It is bound to do so, however, if
Japan formally requests it , as the
department has undertaken to repre
sent Japan so far as the interests of
Japanese subjects in Russia are-con
cerned.
Russians Make Tad Mistake.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Che Foo says: “A reliable authority
reports that three Russian torpedo
boats have been sunk oy the guns from
the forts. They were mistaken for
Japanese vessels.

NO IXTRA MONIY FOR MINNIE COX.
Auditor of Postoffice Department Turned
Down by Comptroller of Treasury.
The comptroller of the treasury has
overruled a decision of the auditor for
the postoffice department that Minnie
Cox, who was the colored postmaster
at Indianola, Miss., is entitled to $1,300
a year while the office remained clos
ed. At the time of her trouble at In
dianola she had been drawing $1,200 a
year, based upon the receipts of her
office and the euect of the decision is
not to deny payment for her salary
while her office was closed, but merely
that she is not entitled to the lu
cre" ze under the law providing for the
adjustment of salaries of postmasters
