A Japanese Mecca.

grove Of venerable cedars and pines neal
Toxic, in ~Takanawa, writes q correspond.
ent Of The Detroit Free Press from Toxic,
l went not to see the temple, but to visit
the graves of those forty-seven faithful re-.
tainers of the Lord Of Ako-o, SO famous in
Japanese story, whose deeds were as intense.
~ dramatic as they were bloody.
The way from the station is along g pub
Lie road leading from Shinagawa to Toxic,
Suddenly the jinrikisha turns to the left and
enters a narrow lane, curving as it climbs the
hill, till one comes into the grove and stops
in front of a venerable temple, neglected and
dirty and seemingly without attendants, CON
tanning in one row five immense sitting
images Of Buddha in fcded gilt and lacquer.
To the left a pathway leads to the cemetery,
and on the way you pass a we'll almost hid
den by ~shrubbery, near which is a simple in
scription in Japanese: "Here they washed
the head"
Beyond and a little higher up is a shrine or
Do, in which Oishi worshiped when living.
and which now contains carved wooden
statues Of each Of forty-seven Ronins-held
in popular opinion to be good licensees; then
one passes through a stall wherein an old
mar with shaven head acts as guardian and
sells sticks Of incense and the story Of the
Ronins. The whole hillside is cemetery.
but just beyond the entrance is an almost
square Enclosure, fenced in by bamboos, with
q few grand old pipes, and arranged in rows
round the sides Of the inclosure are the graves
OF the Ronins, over each q rough headstone
about three feet high, flattened and smoothed
on one face and inscribed.

Il GOT my information from Attorney
general Goodwin" were the exact words Of
Condo Hamlin, the Pioneer Press reporter,
who pulled the revolver to assassinate
Alexander Mckenzie at the Sheridan
house Friday evening. OF the fifty
people present a dozen heard these
words given in response to an inquiry
from Representative Stadleman. Nc
Kenzie had wrested the revolver from
Hamlin's hand-warned everybody to keep
back at their peril-given the poor devil
his revolver with the remark: "Take your
gun-shoot me if you want to-l'm a
man." Hamlin put the gun in his pocket.
The crowd was excited. Mckenzie es-
corted him into the sample room-warned
all others to keep back-the train arrived
Mckenzie escorted Hamlin to the front
door, saying to the crowd, Keep back, let
him 90 his way" Briefly that was the
scene at the Sheridan house at 1925 last
evening. A more narrow escape from a
terrible tragcdy-a more heroic, generous
act on the part of an assaulted person was
never before witnessed. IL want to see
you" were the words Of Mckenzie as he
laid his hand on HamIin's shoulder, and
for these words and this act the sensation
al repOr ter-frightened by his guilt-at-
tempted to take MckenZia'S life.

IT is not generally known, but it is q
fact all the same, that the act extending
the time for the payment Of taxes for this
year has been repealed and real estate
taxes become delinquent on the first of
June and personal taxes on the first of
March. The Walsh revenue bill did it.
What kind of legislation Is this? A far
mer legislature passed a law extending
the time of paying taxes to relieve the dis
tressed people of the state-refusing to
accept $150,0O0 annually for the state
treasury-retusing to accept $500 bushels
of seed grain for the drouth-stricken re-
gions, and then repeats the act extending
the time for the payment of taxes. Verify
there will;:be weeping and crashing of teeth
when these things are known.

AN Omaha paper announces that contri-
buttons will be taken up In the churches of
that city next Sunday for the re.
lief of the destitute in Dakota. The society
paper, the Omaha Excelsior, also announces
that Helen Blythe, an emotional actress
of frst-rate ability, begins an engagement
OF four nights at the Grand, Sunday
evening, opening in "A Mothers Love-"

be sent to North Dakota, it would be high

Is THE GOVERNOR GREATER TIA
HIS PARTY?
From Tuesdays Daily, 1Sth,1

From Tuesdays Daily, 1sth,l
Nearly every senatorial district in the
ate returned a good round majority for
he republican ticket last fall-not alone
for John Miller, governor, but for members
of the legislature. 1t is reasonable to sup
pose chat the members represent the senti-
ment of their respective constituencies
with as much fidelity as the executive. No
demonstration to the contrary has been
shown. One hundred and sixteen days of
the session of the legislature passes before
the governor sends in the list of appoint
ments which under the constitution are to
be made "by and with the advice and con-
sent of the senate" He sends in the ap-
pointments only 86 hours before the time
of final adjournment of the legislature. He
sends in the names without consultation
with or advice from at least two-thirds of
the members of the senate who are called
upOn to endorse his action. Can 1t be that
section 81 of the constitution has been vio-
lated? The republicans of the senate find
ton: Shall they, without previous con-
sultation-without time to consult the
wishes of their constituents-vote to con-
firm this list of appointments and thereby
become jointly responsible with the COVER
nor for the administration?
1t is a serious proposition and one that
demands most careful consideration at the
hands OF the representatives of the domi-
nant party in North Dakota. To single out
and confirm those appointments known
personally or believed by the members of
the senats to be entirely satisfactory to the
people of the state, and fail to confirm those
o known, would be bad policy and tend
to disrupt the republican party. To con-
firm the entire list under the circumstances
would be a humiliating admission of weak
ness on the part Of the senators that would
hardly receive the plaudits of those who
believe the party greater than the man. It
would seem, therefore, most proper and
polite tO return the appointments to the
governor without action and without pref
udice. The senate can thus avoid all re-
sponsibility without in any way affecting
the appointments, for they can be made by
the executive after adjournment.
The criticism is not upon the men ap-
pointed but the manner of their appoint
ment. 1t is asking too much of the repub-
lican senators that they, without previous
warning or consultation, shonld blindly
and without hesitation endorse this acti on
1t smacks too much Of the Church regeme:
it is u%nrepublican, unwise and unjust.

tect and maintain the dignity and indie
pendence of their constituency?

Representative WILLIAMS succeeded

Representative WILLIAMS succeeded
in getting in an amendment to each of the
appropriation bills for the public institu.
tons, compelling the use of Ignite or Da-
kota coal for fuel, provided the price shall
not exceed 1926 per ton. In support of the
coal industry and the home industry, Mr..
Williams, although meeting a man worthy
of his steel in Mr.. Selby, made one Of the
most convincing speeches of the session
and won a victory not for any particular
locality, but for the state.

The bill providing for the publishing
of the laws in the various newspapers of
the state, was killed in the house. It is
charitable to suppose that the members
who voted against the bill did so under a
Misrepresentation of the Importance OF
the measure. 1t was an inexpensive way
of providing the people Of this state with
the laws, the estimated cost being less
than $4,000.

tude-so far as the governor is concerned.
