The Pasadena, California girls refuse to dance with the Japanese naval offi cers; the ball is called oft; the Japan ese admiral in high dudgeon sails away, and all Japan resents the affront. The Pasadena girls were within their rights and they have the sympathy of Cali fornia girls and the girlß of the United States. But what about this Interna tional Expositiou for which California and the Pacific coast ia clamoring? TheßUpportof the exposition, if held in San Francisco, must come from the Orient. We all know the attitude of San Francisco to the Orient. It very recently brought us to the verge of war with Japan, and there are possi bilities of serious trouble in an Interna tional Exposition held on the Pacific slope. The proper place for an exposi tion to celebrate the completion of the Panama Oanal will be the capital of the United States. The Secretary of War has just re turned from the Philippines by way of Asia and Europe, bringing the some what, trite information that our Malay an acquisition froinJSpain, is not fit for self-government. Well, what country ever was fit? The real difference is that the Philippine- art i 1 , or lei. t fit. lin a , 'ivu bnncdict to some countries lik • I dla, U.

In the last issue of the Pennsylvania Good Roads Bulletin the following ar ticle appeared regarding the building of good roads in this State: "The injustice of asking the town ship to construct or assist in construc tion of the main highways has long boon recognized by every student of the good roads problem. The mftin roads are traveled by the citizens of several townships and oft times by those of the adjoining boroughs and cities. We would cite many hundreds of instances of main roads in Pennsyl vania where the traffic over these roads by the citizens of the township in which t! <y lie does not equal one tenth of l'i total traffic. Why should that township be compelled to improve and maintain that road for the benefit of the other nine-tenths who use it? The main roads are used by the citi zens at large, and we hav>• maintained for years past that they should be im proved and maintained solely by the j "citizens at large," i.e., the State.

Webster Fox, of Philadelphia, the well-known eye surgeon left last Thursday for Porto itico and vicinity for a trip of four wet-few, to demon strate some of his original operations. '1 he Philadelphia Press, Friday last, says of this wonderful surgeon: At the present titne the Medico-Obi rurgieal College is represented in Por to Rii'.o hy it lari>o colony of physicians siud dentists, who have been trying f< r j several years to induce Dr. Fox to i come there to lecture and demonstrate along the linos of his practice. Three years ago he promised he would grati fy that wish, but later was compelled to postpone the trip. Ilia arrival in Porto Rico will be bail ed with much enthn iasn, as tho world's leading surgeons seldom reach tho island to lecture, and besides, many of th( physicians practicing there received the major pari of their training in esurgery under Dr. Fox's direction at the college. A r rain moth reception will he given him soqn alter his arrival, and the lectures and de monstrations will most likely follow at special functions. He carried with him many of his instruments, and may mike -.(.me practical operati us in the hospitals, Dr. I' r. is accompanied hy Mrs. Fox and th ir son, Lawrence.
