American Girls Criticised,

The much written up woman of
Japan is revenged at last. One of her
own countrywomen has turned the ia
bles upon occidental critics and as calm
~ dissects the American woman as the
American woman is went to dissect the
mousmee and her more distinguished
sisters. Nine. Utaki Shimoda, who il
the superintendent Of female college
in Tokyo and is travelling in this coun-
try, presents rather a disparaging view
of our American girls when she says
For frarkness' sake must say that if
were a man I would not marry an
American girl. Their dash and indie
penaence present too strong contrast
when linked to cid country tempera-
ment. l know that American women
are not any the less chaste or virtuous.
But there are feminine charms that at
tract and invite familiarity; then there
are charms that please and yet persuade
affection and esteem. We cherish the
latter sort in Japan

Baker is All Right.

The Topeka Daily Press reprints o
write-un Of Kansas Congressman from
the Chicago Record which does Con-
gresham Baker, of the Sixth, mani
fest injustice. In referring to Mr..
Baker 1T says among other things: SHE
once went to sleep and permitted to
pass unchallenged bill which he had
promised to defeat, but that is not
worse than other statesmen have DONE"
Now II that quotation were included
In a Write.up Of Redeemer Ben Clover
1t would be all right. Whatever Mr..
Baker may have failed to accomplish
In Congress, he has never been charged
with failing to do all in his power to
secure for his constituents whatever
legislation he was pledged to support.
He did not accept q seat in Congress
on free silver platform and then hyp.
ocritically turn his attention to "bring-
ing his people around all right to q
gold standard" He did not get his
seat under false pretenses as did Dick
Blue and every other member Of the
Kansas delegation except Calderhead.
He may not make so much noise or
look so much like ga wild man from

conscience Ia clear and his constituents
have already said to him twice, swell

This has led to a revival of Mr.. In.
gals opinion on the United States
States navy in the Globe at the time
of the Chilian imbroglio. He has
changed his mind since.
"The whole Chilisn imbroglio," said
Mr.. Ingalls,, ISIS an illustration OF the
danger Of our having q navy. Here the
Baltimore was in the harbor of Valpa-
rsisO, where she had no business to be.
Her sailors went on shore and got into
an alteration.

the Baltimore did. There Is no neCes-
