SHOULD BE FRIENDS AMERICA AND JAPAN NEAR TO EACH OTHER, SAYS CHiNDA ? SENTIMENT IS EXPRESSED Japanese Ambassador and Secretary of State IVryan Principal Speakers at llttsburg l>lnncr t<? (ioor^c \N . Guthrie, Now Amorioan Ambassador to Jitpun. The Japanese ambassador to Amerioa, Viscount Chinda, and the new American ambassador to Japan. George \V. Guthrie, of Pittsburg, shared the honors of a testimonial dinner Friday night at Pittsburg, arranged by "friends and neighbors" of the latter. Secretary of State William J. f*ryan, who it was planned would formally introduce the ambassadors to each other, was so delayed that ho arrived almost as the festivities ended. Ambassador Guthrie, in expressing his appreciation of the demonstration in his honor, addressing himself to Viscount Chinda, said: "Your excellency, what you see here will, 1 have no doubt, convince you that the American people as a whole intend to keep faith and desire to live in peace and friendship with the Emporer whom you are justly proud to represent and the people to which you are justly proud to belong, as well as with all other nations of the world. "We are a people who keep faith and wish to do justice. I am called to a station?I know not for how long?where 1 am to practice silence. In view of the message from the President, which the Secretary of State will read to us, It is neither necessary nor proper for me to say me vuau u?f>urtj your excellency that unless 1 was in full and hearty accord with his j>olicy 1 would not be liis representative in the mission to Japan with which he has honored me." Viscount Chinda apologized for reading his speech, saying he feared the pitfalls of a foreign language. Viscount Chinda said: "Gentlemen, the constant improvement in the means of communication and transportation is substantially reducing the (geographical distance which intervene between different parts of the world. The United States and Japan, separated as they are by the waters of the Pacific Ocean, are now brought, and are destined to be brought, into closer contact with each other in all branches pf peaceful activities. "I do not deny that such contact Is liable to give rise to occasional misunderstandings and complications. but I do deny the existence, or the possible existence, of any phase in those difficulties which would not eventually yield to due and timely processes of diplomatic treatment tfio treatment of justice and fair play?and of a sympathetic understanding of the problems of each nation by the other. It is this spirit that has so eminently characterized the American people and has also Invariably guided the course of action taken by Japan in dealing with questions of international moment. It is in this spirit alone that those questions could he successfully adjusted to the true and lasting satisfaction of all parties. It should be the noble endeavor of every patriotic man in both countries to direct his attention to an amicable solution on such basis of any problem that may confront us in our intercourse and to transmit to our posterity the unspotted record of our mutual good understanding bequeathed to us by our forefathers. Our records form part of our dear and valued assets. It should he preserved. It should be amplified and extended to all ages to come. "Our two nations, bound by such auspicious tradition and gui led by the same aims and the same aspirations to contribute to the pacific progress of the world, should forever remain good and trusted neighbors. And I feel, gentlemen, that mv humble labors in this direction find ready co-operation and encouragement at the hands of your great President, as well as your renowned Secretary of State, Mr. Bryan, and your worthy representative to Japan, Mr. Outhrie, who honor us by their presence tonight. 1 am sure that the e pressions of friendship voiced by such distinguished leaders of American politics cannot fail to touch a responsive chord in the hearts of all thinking men on both sides of the Pacific." Secretary Bryan, invited to introduce George VV. Guthrie, the new American ambassador to Japan and Baron Chinda, the Japanese ambassador, at the dinner at Pittsburg Friday night in honor of Mr. Guthrie, paid glowing tributes to both of the diplomats. Ho said, in part: "I am fnr a flAiiKl/. v . v/i ? v?\/ u,miv; |/ui |Minr/, "First, to introduce two distinguished gentlemen, his Excellency, Viscount Chlnda, who, with such ability and distinction, represents Japan at the Capital of our nation, and Ambassador Guthrie, to whom has l>een given the honor of representing the United States at Tokio.

Brett, president of one of the greatest publishing houses in the United States?The Macmillan Company?in an article in the current issue of The Outlook. Mr. Brett is a stockholder in the company about which he writes and is personally acquainted with its his tory ana methods; so ho writes with authority. Hut being a man of ana- ] lytical mind, and naturally a square < dealer, he goes Into the situation fur- , ther. The factory, he says, was started | twenty years ago on borrowed money. No further capital lias been put into the business. To-day it is a prosperous concern, working until ten j o'clock at night in the rusli season, < and turning away orders. The founder of the company gets a salary of $25.000 a year, and Mr. j Brett says that this man and two , other high-salaried oilicials find it difficult to keep busy in the few ( hours they spend daily at the factory. In view of these facts, he be lieves that the public is paying too much for the product, or the workment are not being paid enough, or , else that both conditions exist to some extent. , There are many other slmilarin- , stitutions in this country which have , grown extravagant and "flabby", in ; Mr. Brett's opinion, under shelter of the tariff wall. Companies have got ; rich so easily that they have overloaed themselves with "ornamental" of- j cials .He cities thecase of a large ( machinery manufacturing company in which the president, vice president ] treasure, secretary, and assistant secretary all get fancy salaries without doing any work. The realmanagcr, who works hard, is paid a compar- < tively modest salary. j This situation Mr. Brett regards i as unwholesome. He believes such < a "reasonable reduction" In duties ( as is now proposed will have some ( effect on the cost of living, but that it need not reduce wages. The saving ought to he made, ho thinks, in cutting off extravagances and in enforcing efficiency of operation. So the reduced duties "should prove a blessing to the manufactures themselves". These are the obviously sensible views of a man of the highest stand- . ing in the business world, whose immediate self-interest would call for a * continuation of governmental favors to the business in which he is interested, says The Augusta Herald, but his conscience seems to have been awakened at last to the sin of robbing voters by means of the tariff. O. DAMMIT! THAT'S ALL. Nothing Wrong, Just Man's Name, Hut He Wants it Changed. Orlando Dammit, of Elmsford, N. j C., wishes to change his name and i has started procedings to that end. ( Dammit says that his name has cans- i ed him a great deal of worry. Half i thetime he doesn't know whether his ( name is being called or whether some person is merely giving vent to his g feelings. Anyhow it's awkward and c confusing to have some friend call < out to him in the street. "Dammit Come here a second, will you?" "I'm Retting sick of it," says Dammit. "Good heavans, it was bad en- ^ ough when I went to school. I play- ^ ed on the foot hall team and when- ^ ever I mado a good play the fellows j used to give me a long cheer. It ^ went something like this: 'Rah, rah, f rah, hoo?ray! Dammit! Dammit!

A DEADLY PARLOR RIFLE \ YOl'XCi LAI) IS ACCIDKXTALLY KIIJiKI) BY ONK. \t Charleston Young Dingle is Killed by Young Huinine, While Target Shooting. The Charleston Post says James Maiveey Dingle, Jr., 1.1-year 1 old son jf City Kngineor J. II. Dingle, was accidentally shot and killed Monday morning by a parlor ritle in the nands or his friend, Willie Iluinme, 1 ."> years of age, son of William A. (Iumme, of G Council street, the tragedy happening at Mr. Dingle's residence, at 139 Tradd street. The boys had been playing for some time with the ritle. The accident happened about 9:30 lug at targets set up about the yard and just a short time before tlie accilent happened, Mrs. Dingle had called to the boys, advising care in the handling of the rifle. She had hardly turned from the window when the report of the ride was again heard and the wounded boy called to his mother that he was shot. Hurried calls were made for physicians but the lad died before medical aid reached him. lie had been shot in the heart. Exactly how it all happened the wounded boy was unable to explain it. The inquest will be held Tuesday. Young Dingle was a very promising boy. lie was a student at the Crafts school and the fact that he was at home Monday morning is explained by the statement that his yearly average was so high that he was excused from taking the examinations which are in progress at school. Recently he was awarded a prize for his essay in the Public Safe- . ty League contest and on a previous occasion he distinguished himself by capturing an essay prize in a contest conducted by the Civic Club. SHAKE-I P IS FEARED. \ttachees of House Are Afraid They Will Loose Their Places. A Washington dispatch says employees at the capitol are on the 'anxious seat", for their jobs are in jeopardy as a result of the action of :he Democratic caucus Tuesday. Representative Cox of Indiana, started tho trouble by presenting a esolution proposing to open up all ho patronage, comprising approxi- . nately 2.">0 places and affecting door- ! keepers, messengers, policemen, >ages and a score of others, and to lave immediately a distribution of hese places equally among all the * Democratic members of the House. In the discussion that followed, Representative Murray, of Oklahoma, jresented a resolution which was idopted, referring the mater to a . 'ommittee of three, with direction to eport a plan for distributing patronige that would he fair and consistent with efhciency of service. 'Mr. Murray said he wanted his ihare of patronage, but he believed ' 'flieiency should be the first consideration. ? Tho Press and World Peace. William C. Deming, editor of the " .Vyoming Tribune, tells of the opporunitv and duty of the press in relaion to world peace in a pamphlet ust off the press, in which he asserts hat "it will prove a much easier task or the press of tho world to create a ientiment for peace than for govern- I nents, hampered by centuries of inlulgence in legalied barbarism, to deitroy the desire for war." The Vugusta Herald says the power of he press for good or for evil is unquestioned, and it can exercise a . powerful influence in the matter of : vorld peace. However, just as emilent public men differ upon this nomentous question, so does the civlized world. The editor of The Tribune comnends the press for its unanimity in vaging effective warfare against * :reed and monopoly which prey upon he public, but condemns the press or it "masterful influence in arousng a peaceful nation to war against ?pain". The first constitutes a proest against evil conditions and like >ther a matter of principle. How- ~ ver, in the case of the war with Spain, Mr. Deming contends that 'there was no issue at stake, no demand that America might have made ipon Spain, even unto InrlAmnltv fm he loss of the Maine, that could not ave been settled by arbitration". i Speaking of war, a well known writer has said: "C.ive me the money hat has been spent in war and I will ~ iiirehase every foot of land upon the lobe. T will clothe every man, wonan and child in an attire of which ings ai\d queens will he proud. T ^ v'ill build a schoolhouse on every illside, and every valley over tho /hole earth: I will build an academy n every town.and endow it; a college n every state, and will fill it with j, hie professors; I will crown every ill with a place of worship, conserated to the gospel of peace; 1 will upport in every pulpit an able teachr of righteousness, so that on every ^ iabbath the chimes on every hill will nswer the chimes on another around he world." ? rw A ~ ? ?

For the thirty-fifth time Alvaretta of th ehotiaslp toesd. . r-darBhere Johnson, thirty years old, an inmate of the hospital at Columbus, O., attempted suicide. Having tried many schemes to end her life without avail, she returned to t.ho same method which she has tried more than a dozen times, that of hanging herself. But, as on other occasions, she was rescued and now is back in tho strong ward where sho has spent most of her time since being an inmate. She \vt\s received April, 1912, and has been a source of constant worry to the attendants. 11 et* latest attempt at suicide was made while she was nursing injuries received on April 18, when sho attempted to end hef life by driving a nail into her head with a fiat iron. ? A Word for the Bats. Tho Creenvillo Piedmont says the discovery has been made that a bat will eat between two and three hundred mosquitoes in a night. It is also declared that they prey upon other nocturnal insects which are harmful to human beings. Dr. Chas. R. Campbell of San Antonio, Texas, has studied the question of bats, and has observed that in districts where there are many places used as roosts by bats, there is an absence of mosquitoes and the people don't pet malarial fever. As further proof in this direction, Dr. Campbell found that when a certain barn was torn clown and the bats deprived of their lodgings, the mosquito pest reappeared. The discovery by Dr. Campbell may make a considerable difference between the conditions of health and ill health of many parts of our country. The wise man will make use of the facts.
