Socialism
in Japan

The recent action taken by the home
department with regard to socialistic
publications and organizations will
probably create an impression that ia
pan is in some danger Of being invaded
by the enemy which continental Eu-
rope finds so much difficulty in holding
at bay. II would not be a correct i'm
preston, we think, and our belief is
confirmed by the Jill Shimpo, which,
while admitting that the reign Of plu-
tocracy cannot be altogether prevented
in this country, denies that any condi-
tions suggesting the growth of social
ism have yet become visible.
The Jill evidently thinks that the
rich and the poor in Japan are not sep
arated by gulf comparable with that
dividing the plutocrat and the pauper
in the West Here the poor man has
his compensations. He takes his holi-
days, goes to fetes and festivals and
enjoys himself thoroughly on occasion.
There is nothing intolerable in his lot.
The Jill might have added that the
rich mans manner of living is by no
means so conspicuously superior to the
poor mans, as it is in Europe or Amer
lea.
Concerning the actual possession of
wealth, we really doubt whether the

full trademark rightfully used before
the passage Of" the former act. There
fore, from almost the beginning OF the
registration Of trademarks up to the
middle of 1898 the Patent Office at
Washington allowed the registration
act, so that they had become associat-
ed with the goods OF a certain person.
AS late as the first half OF 1898 sew
enteen surnames we're registered as
trademarks by applicants Of the game
name. Then the policy of the patent
Office suddenly changed; the letter Of
the main act of congress was stuck to
like grim death, but the spirit OF the
supplemental act was entirely crushed
out Of IL
The reason at the base OF the prin-
ciple that a surname must not be used
as a trademark is that a surname
cannot be the exclusive property OF
any ono person as against all others
who own the name.

Newspaper Thinks
There is Little
Opportunity for
lts Development


Japanese plutocrat of this twentieth
century is a much richer man than was
his predecessor of Tokugawa times
But apart from the mere question Of
degrees of wealth, there is the fact that
q japanese rich man is singularly care
full not to make any striking display
of cpulence. He seems to have an In
stinctive desire to avoid contrasts
which might excite public envy.
There are not, indeed, quite as large
possibilities of differentiation in Japan
as in Europe or America. The Japan
ese house and the Japanese manner Of
living do not offer such extensive op-
portunities for magnihcence and lux
ury, in outward appearance at least
But when due allowances are made on
that account, the conviction Is still
forced upon any careful observer tina
opulence in Japan is deliberately de
prived of many of the ostentatious fea
lures which in the West render 1t
ugly in the eyes of Indulgence. Whicl
Of us knows of even one very wealth.

riches or devotes his money to pur-

II Young
Mans Era


This is the age of the young men
In government" said Chief Examiner
Of the Civil Service Commission Ser
ven, the practical man of Uncle Sans
big employment agency. "A notable
case of the successful young man in
government is George B. Cortelyou,
secretary to the late President McKin-
ley. He is still in his thirties. After
finishing Normal School education at
20, he studied stenography and began
work as a general law and verbatim
reporter when Il. Later he became
principal Of a school, improving his
stenography all the while. Four years
more and he became private secretary
to the post Office inspector and later
to the surveyor Of the Port of New
York. In few years he was in the
departments as private secretary to the
fourth assistant postmaster general.
Instead Of idling away his spare time
ne entered the law school and won
both bachelors and masters degree.
Secretaryships, are perhaps the best
apprenticeships for those ambitious to
become statesmen and public men. The
secretaries to Senators, Representa-
tves, Cabinet officers and bureau chiefs
are in elbow touch with the most in
huential men of the nation every day.
Frank Vanderlip was but a5 when
made assistant secretary by promotion
from the position of private secretary
to Secretary Gage. He began on a
farm, worked In a machine shop.
studied In two universities, became a
reporter, financial editor and then went
to the treasury department.

Threw Gold
to LOttA


Lotta, the ex-actress, in private life
known as Miss Charlotte Crabtree, is
a most charming and dignified woman
of petite figure and middle age. She
has lived in retirement for nearly
twenty years. She left the stage at
the height Of her popularity for rea-
sons that have never been definitely
stated.
Her singular influence over rough
men was exemplified when she was
about II. In charge Of her mother, she
was making a tour of the Nevada
mining camps. She landed at Ham
ilton, one of the toughest camps in
the territory. An expectant crowd Of
particularly rough miners was at the
tavern to meet her when the stage
drove up
When there alighted from the stage
a spare, elderly lady, who was Mrs.
Crabtree, and a little girl in short
frocks, who was Miss Crabtree. the
disappointment was loudlyand vocifer-
ously expressed. However, any show
was better than none, and that even
ing the miners fairly packed the place
where the show was to take place.
Two billiard tables had been pushed
together to make a stage, a curtain
being dropped between for the pur-
poses Of retirement At the hour set
for the opening there stepped from be-
hind this curtain on to the front bill
lard table a demure little creature
with skirts reaching to the knees and
carrying a banjo slung negligently
over her shoulders.
The audience was very cold. In less
than half an hour, however, Lotta had
every mothers son of them in a state
OF high-wrought enthusiasm. She
sang to them, danced for them, and
told theS funny stories with tireless
energy, and they encored her again
and again. Finally one man in the au-
dience, carried entirely away by en-
thusiasm, came down to the front
with a whoop, and, throwing some
thing on the stage cried out:

Patent LdseS

Ought a man to have better right
to the name of some one else than
to his own name in his own business?
This is the question which, accord
ing to the Washington Times, a good
many manufacturers and solicitors are
trying to answer. The Patent Office
now allows a man TO register some
other mans name as a trademark,
but not his own.
Trademarks are registered under
the acts Of 1881 and 1882 The first act
had clause providing that the COM
missioner Of patents should not regis
ter a trademark which was merely
the name OF an applicant"
Many surnames had become ire
vocably attached to certain articles of
manufacture. Therefore, to prevent
any injustice, congress the following
year passed a short act providing that
nothing In the preceding act should
prevent the registration OF any law

she is captured All this is legitimate,
whether the Hussar takes the bait or
no. But the French captain goes too
far He hoists in the main shrouds an
ensign reversed and tied in q weft or
loop. Now, this being a we'll known
signal Of distress-an appeal to a COM
mon humanity which no generous ON
Ger could disregard-the Hussar at
once closes. Fortunately, however,
her crew are at quarters when the Sy.
billie, hauling down the English flag
at the peak and hosting the French
above, endeavors to run her on board.
The extreme rolling natural to ship
not steadied by sufficient sail exposes
the Sybille's bottom, and several shots
from the Hussar go through her very
bilge. BY this time another English
man-of-war comes up, and the Sybille
strikes her fag-the reversed ensign
with its weft, so dishonorably hoisted,
remaining in the shrouds.
So much for the signal Of distress
theory.
We know that flags were commonly
used at funerals in England, especially
before the middle of the seventeenth
century, not reversed or tied in a
weft, but floating in their normal posi-
tion. This practice was discontinued
little by little, though no doubt some
trace Of It's influence is still seen in
the universal display Of military flags
on occasions of national bereavement.

Fancy May AdOrn Naked Facts.

Most marvellous and enviable is
that fecundity of fancy which can
adorn whatever 1t touches, which can
invest naked fact and dry reasoning
with unlooked-for beauty, makes fow-
erets bloom even on the brow OF the
precipice, and, when nothing better
can be had, can turn the very sub
stance Of the rock itself into moss and
lichens. This faculty is incomparably
the most important for the vivid and
attractive exhibition of truth to the
minds Of men.-A. Fuller.

Etiquette of
Flag Signals

What is the origin Of the custom Of
displaying flags at half-staff, or, rs
people usually say, half-mast?"
This question, when 1t was put to
me the other day, appeared to have
an easy answer: "It is borrowed from
the navy. The ensign or pennant at
half-mast Is recognized sign OF
mourning"
"Yes; but was 1t at first ships
signal Of distress, as some say-even
some of the good dictionaries?"
have heard that in the seventeenth
century 1t was so employed by the
Spaniards; but at any rate, toward
the end OF the eighteenth century the
signal of distress recognized by
French and English sailors was diff
ferent affair, as the following story
shows:
ammo 17s2-Tbe French ship Sybille,
q powerful 36-gun frigate, is sighted
of Cape Henry by the Hussar, of %
guns. Now, the Sybille few days be-
fore in a drawn fight with one of the
ships of the English feet to which the
HusSar belongs, sustained such injur-
ies that she has subsequently been dis
masted in a puff a wind and is under
Jury masts. AS she is therefore un-
able to chase the Hussar, she seeks to
kntice her alongside, in order to take
her by boarding, and accordingly she
holsts to the peak the French ensign
under the English, as II admitting that

young man. He was in his thirtiss

his appointment. He began work when
he was II, but improved his spare time
with reading and study.

Expatriated Americans in large
