Roman Alphabet in japan.

Harper's Weekly,
The Roman alphabet grows more and
more In favor with the nations of the
earth. The latest country to take steps
toward its adoption Is Japan. The gov
ernment recently appointed q commits
sion to draw up plan whereby Japan
ese writing may be made TO conform TO
modern English and French forms. In
China progress In the same direction is
reported, and missionaries there say
that the old and infiexible sign writing
Is sure to 60. Germany is rapidly fall
ing into line, and the number of books
printed in Roman characters increases
year by year. In Russia, however, the
individual alphabet peculiar to tha,
country still shows no sign Of change
the one country whose literature is
almost inaccessible to the foreign-boru
student. But from . broad survey 4,
seems inevitable that eventually the
one alphabet-the Roman-will rule
the world.

The General Assembly last winter
submitted to the people of Ohio four
amendments to the State Constitution,
to be voted on at the general election
In November in 1903. The moet
of the amendments submitted to the
people fail at the polls, not because q
majority of the voters cast their ballots
against them, but because, not under
standing clearly what they propose, q
very large number do not vote on them
at all. AS Constitutional amendment
requires q majority of all the votes cast
at the election In order to be adopted,
all who fail to vote are counted against
the proposition. The four amendments
to be submitted next year, are as follows:
1. To abolish the double liability of
stockholders In business corporations.
2. To prepare the way for reforming
our system OF State and local taxation
by classifying all subjects Of taxation,
and applying . uniform rule TO all sub
jects included In Q class.
3. To invest the Governor with the
power of veto.
4. To provide that each county shall
have at least one representative in the
General Assembly.
