ATLANTA Constitutions. The in
terview with Hon. f. &. Newlands,
member of congress from Nevada,
published elsewhere in the ConSti-
tuition today, is worth reading. The
parallel between Japan and the
United States, the one independ-
ent of England and the other held
in financial bondage by the gold
standard, offers food for very
serious reflection by our peo-
pie. Japan has just finished the
task of routing the Chinese empire
with its 400, 100000 people. The
wonderful little nation which has
accomplished this undertaking
has by its dauntless courage and
marvellous capacity commanded
the admiration of the wo Id. AL
ready Japan threatens the COM
mercial supremacy of England IN
the orient, and Mr.. Newland's
statement that England fears ia
pan today more than any other
nation'on earth" is no doubt liter
ally true. Japan resisted Eng
lands effort to force it to demone-
tie silver, and had she done as
the United States was trapped into
doing ',and established the gold
standard, the recent series OF re-
markable victories which have en-
abled this little country to conquer
one of the largest and most thickly
populated nations on earth would
have been impossible, for with the
gold7standard England must first
have been consulted and It's con
sent obtained before Japan would
have been in a position TO success
fully carry on the war. For the
past two years Japan has expert
enced the most prosperous times
in the history of the nation. AS
the result Of the successful termin-
alton of its war with China it will
now begin to enjoy a period OF
phenomenal prosperity And the
same thing will be true not only of
Japan but Of China, whose main
rivers have been opened to the
commerce Of the world and whose
people, impressed with the expe-
rience with Japan, will now begin
TO take on the life of new civil
zation which Japan has been
steadily accepting for the past
twenty years. The points of the
worlds great development for the
next decade will be Japan and

Gle, which shows that so far as series OF

absolutely no proof that the ancient man

Guilty of such investigation Is the lack OF

the latter selected with q view to their
great age. shows that the modern man is
but seven-thousandths of a meter shorter
than his ancestor. Such difference Is in
finitesimal. 1t is probably explained by the
racial characteristics of the French subjects
whose heights were averaged to produce
the modern element of the equation.
1t is hoped that other Investigators will
take up this subject and work 1t out to the
complete refutation of the a1arnists who
have been so persistently crying out
against the evil effects Of the modern
civilization. There may be a greater ten
sion now of the nervous system of man
In cmmunities; he may be leading a more
sedentary life than was forced upon him
century or two centuries ago by his
unaeeommodating surroundings; but that
he is deteriorating generically cannot be
believed, especially in the light of this
latest investigation. There is an altogether
desirable tendency nowadays towards the
encouragement of legitimate athletic sport.
1t is not that the sensible people of the day
are frightened. They are simply recog-
nizing the fact that life is easier than it
used to be to the physical man and they
are counterbalancing whatever tendency
there may be to the neglect of the mus
cular fiber of the body.

The forthcoming trial Of Claus Bllxt IN
Minneapolis for the murder Of Miss Gather
Inc Cling will be full of interest to more
than the average number of people who
watch the accounts of such events. The
plea of Blixt Is that he was hypnotized by
Harry Hayward into killing the young
woman and this will largely be the Issue of
the trial, which is soon to take place. III
such a defense can be established 1T Is to be
feared that hypnotic murders will soon be-
come more than common, and therein lies
a great danger. A few years ago the IN
sanity plea was the most popular means Oh
excusing brutal crimes. and 1t succeeded to
the danger point. Now comes BliXt WITH
his plea that he was not his own agent In
his bloody act, but the unwilling tool oil
HAYWARD and on that ground is urging
that he Is not to be held responsible for the
death of Miss Cling. This plea has become
quite common in France, which Is essen
TALLY the home of hypnotlsm. 1t is not al
ways successful. and, on the face of things
should not be SO In the Minneapolis case
The regularity of Blixts defense is that he
made the plea of hypnotism Immediately
after being accused of the crime, and there,
In lies it's greatest weakness. 1t Is Pc
.cuIiarity of the hypnotic state that the sub
while under the influence. The events OF
that period are as blank to him. He Is
cognizant of them only when placed again
under the Influence and induced to bear his
mind upon them. This is no longer a theory
of the science but well-establiShed fact
Therefore, under these circumstances. Claus
Blixt would never, of his own knowledge,
have known OF the death of Miss Cling by
his hand. The natural course would be fol-
him to protest ignorance of the event. Be-
ing thrown under the influence once more
he might tell with willingness all the details
of the crime, but until he succumbed to
another will his mind would be a blank as
to the events of the night when, as he says.
he struck the fatal blows under the direc-
ton of Harry Hayward's will power. The
courts should throw around such cases the
most rigid rules of evidence and require the
strictest proof of hypnotic influence. else
the bar will be very generally let down be-
tween men of loose principles and the lives
of the community.
