REPORTS, newspaper and other, from Japan continue to be of an ir- ritating character In the Misado capital the impression is very strong that Europe Is on the side Of Japan against the United States in the matter of Hawaiian annexation. The Japanese prime minister is quoted as talking in serious vein about an international necessity for the preservation of Hawaii as an nde- pendent and neutral territory, in view Of the future construction of the Nicaragua Canal From Euro pean sources there are muttering that makes us fear such obstrue
 ton, and perhaps serious trouble.

 Hard bread, bacon and compressed soup ..i1l probably compose the 'emer. geney ration about to be adopted by the war department Some time ago t was decided by the secretary of war to make Q practical examination of ah e0sds ln order 10 discover the best ration for soldiers on q forced march A board was appointed, and after T thorough ex- animation it recommends the menu given above. This recommendation has teen approved by the assistant secretary Of war. It Is now being considered by Secretary Lamont.
 In the long Hsa of foods considered ny the boQId oatmeal bread, bregd made from whole wheat, pemmicans or meat paste, comed beeZ. smoked beef and canned cooked beaf were found espe- eially nutritious 5ut all had to stand aside fer breaS. bacon and soup, The board also recommended coffee as part of au emergency ration. It suggested that sea, when called for, may be sub stituted for coffee.
 The board considered the efforts at concentration of coffee TO be practically failures. declaring the solid extracts to have taste Of coffee, while the fluid ex- tracts have more flavor of chicory than of coffee. The weight of one ration as recommended by this board Is 3S. l8 ounces. In dire emergency one-half tiia amount daily would sustain life.

TIE POLITc4L R0SS.

h the current number of the Ceahfg Mdgosiao Mir. J B. Bishop discusses interestingly the relation of political bosses Ito Ipopular gov ernment. He thus relates some ob- servations on the indifference of q boss. controlled legislature to public opinion.
 Its members know that they owe their positions entirely to the boss; shat the people who are obieeting to their conduct would never have chosen them for office, and that their continuance in public life de- bends upon the continuance of the boss favor. They know that when the time for a renomination comes round their critics will have little or no votce in the primaries, and that the blackmail of the boss will be the deciding force.
 This describes the situation very succinctly. Tn way the evil pointed out is a natural outgrowth < of the spirit of the times. The ex- lstence and the power of the politi- cal boss do not argue the corruption { of the mass of the people. They merely exhibit in concrete form the work of organization and the sys- tenn of modern business methods ap- < piled to politics. Tho boss IS to x politics what the trust is to busi- s ness. In him are concentrated party forces for the accomplishment , of certain purposes, usually of | business nature. He is the interme- diary between the public and politi- cal organization and operates for the oppression of the masses and the corruption of legislation with the vast power placed in his hands < by the people themselves.
 " This fact was forcibly Illustrated in the last Illinois Legislature. A member Of the Chicago delegation, when threatened with defeat for re election hy some of his constituents if he voted for certain objectionable measures, said: If vote for those bills it may be l cannot come back again because the people will re fuse to vote for me. But it is cer- ]. tain that can't come back if ] don't vote for the bills, because l can { zeta chance to run again. The men who control the nominations in ny district want me to vote for X Ei1ose bills Consequently if l want sl.o serve another term in the Legis ature I will stand better chance
 y gratifying that wish by voting o, the bills.
 This harassed politician ex- messed the situation in q nutshell $ he party organization, controlled ] 4y boss, would repudiate him if he
 "a not do as the boss dictated, and he obcyed the behest of the forces s1 which he owed his election the swer of organization was more

Plum PuHs.

Plums are among the few fruits that
retain flavor where corked. If when
ripe they are scalded the peel will come
CT easily and they may then be cut in
small pieces and treated like cherries.
Care must be taken not to let the plums
stand in the hot water; il may be poured
of in half minute, as the skin softens
at once. For delicious puff, sift pint
of flour with half a small teaspoonful
of salt and one of baking powder. Beat
four eggs separately, add to the well
beaten yollls a cupful of sweet milk, and
with this stir the flour TO a smooth bat
ter; at the last stir in the stiffened
whites, put tablespoonful of this in a
creased cup, then a tablespoonful of the
plums (the juice must not he wasted
when cutting) and then the batter
again. Steam Tor half an hour, turn out
and eat with stewed pluns, we'll sweet

PROF. MARY M'LEAN

University of California, at Berkeley.
At Stanford's rival Miss Mclean took
full classical course, and graduated with
a good record.
Three wears ago she was graduated
She went IruSt to Cambridge, where she
took postgraduate work at the Harvard
Annex, and a year ago went to Europe.
partly for her health and partly to
study Mrs. Mclean went from Cali
fornia and chaperoned her daughter
1t was while in New York, just before
sailing for Europe. that the offer of an
instruetorship in English at Stanford
came to Miss Mclean. 1t was secured
for her by certain powerful friends. who
arranged TO have it held open for her
until her return from Europe Up to
shat time Miss McLean's tastes had led
her hi literary and classic paths, but she
had no definite aim in her preparation.
She expected, vaguely, to teach, but just
what or where had not entered into her
calculations
Miss Mclean went first to England.
where she entered the Oxford college
annex Later She studied in Berlin and
travelled extensively. Her health inn
proved rapidly and she paid close atten-
zion to the methods in the various for
eign institutions where she was a spe-
cial student. At Stanford Miss Mclean
is to be a. adjunct to the chair Of Eng
FISH lteratult. For the present her
work viii be confined to freshmen and
sophomores, and she will do nothing
but correct and comment upon themes.
Gradually she will have instructing TO
do, and so become full-fedged as
sistant professor. Miss Mclean is a
good Latin and Greek scholar, and pro-
ticient in modern languages. She will
introduce number of European meth
DDS, culled from the great colleges, all
of which She has visited, into her new
department-N. Y. World.
