Of life among the people, and Incidents In
Japanese progress In modernity In G. L.
Brownell's The Heart OF Japan. Mr..
Browneil takes the reader among the peo-
PIE Of the agricultural region, showing
how the farmers live and gives some very
interesting and frequently humorous de-
tails OF the way Japan, in forty years. has
accomplished much that other nations
nave taken several hundred years to ac-
complish. AS the author says, Japan had
the greatest kindergarten that ever was,
as 1t included whole nation, young and
old, chiefly grown-up who were ordered
70 pegln living on an entirely new plan
at once. Mr.. Brownell tells much about
the home life and society ways and re-
lates many good stories Of foreigners in
Japan and OF the Japs themselves His
account Of the Jap language is rich read
lns. One has to learn sets Of syllables in
stead OF letters. There are 1000 ideo-
graphs to commit to memory, written in
TWO styles, cursive and standard, and each
one has four different readings, according
to context. =

Open Shop.

"Open shop is a subject of dis
,cussion at the National Civic confer
ence in Chicago. John Mitchell, the
mine >leader, spoke against "open
shop" and said: . e!s-.
To refuse to work with nonunion men
IS no greater and to no less extent COM
pulslon than for a life or fire insurance
company to refuse certain classes of peo-
pie or any establishment whatsoever, or
TO set conditions under which it will have
dealings with certain persons. The COM
puls1on exerted by unions, whether toward
nonun1on1sts or employers, must be judged
upon It's merits and must not be decried
merely because of its compulsion. =
believe that trade unions have perfect
legal and moral right to exclude non
nnionists, but that this right shall be ex-
ercised with the utmost care and only
after persuasion has been tried and failed
: These extracts from Mr.. Mftchell's
speech. brought by the Associated
Press, may not do justice to him and
may be too fragmentary to convey a
clear, understanding Of his position.
It will doubtless be conceded every
where that union men have a right
TO refuse to work whit nonunion
men: If that is, their. pleasure. Due
consideration will be given to the ex-
istence Of contracts between unions
and their employers. Where con-
tracts do not specifically provide
against the "open shop" there would
seem to be no justification for a
strike on that account pending the
duration Of the contract. The question
of open shop" or exclusively union
labor may be made matter for set
Element at the time, of the contract.
But when Mr. Mitchell claims for
trade unions any illegal or moral
right" to exclude nonunionists and
adds that this right should be ''exer-
cised with the utmost care, and only
after persuasion has been tried and
failed" he is on ground which re-
qulres clear and definite statement.
1t depends a good deal upon what he
means by excluding nonunionists";
simple refusal to work with non
unionists Is not necessarily excluding
them. Mr.. Mitchell certainly does NOT
mean that union man has a, right
to exclude a nonunion man by com
pulsion when persuasion fails OF
course, it's often done, but we had not
expected Mr.. Mitchell to justify it.
I fthis is conceded, then there must be
a privileged class in this country. If
1t is legal and moral for union men
to use compulsion to induce nom
union men to quit work it must be
that the laws have made some special
provisions with regard to union men
which do not exist with reference to
nonunionistg.
We have never heard Of any.

College Asses.

There are various degrees Of idiocy
among collegians, but the medical stu
dents, especially those who have at
tanned the sophistication incident upon
having dissected human body, are
reliably reported to develop more san
headed Stiffness per capita than .any
other portion of the student BODY OF
a university.
It is, therefore, not the least bit OF
shock to the public to know that
the representatives Of this sort Of bud
ding knowledge at the University of
Minnesota evolved the brilliant idea.
of attending a rooters' meeting TODAY
with human 4 arm and leg bones as
canes.
How long will it be before our
American universities get over the me-
dieval tradition that a college man
holds a fools license? Young men Of
good breeding and good manners and
good conduct no sooner come together
In the associations of the college than
they think; they must distinguish
themselves by doing something that is
usually indicative Of imbecility Or
criminality. s5s

The Thing Needed.

A few years ago Mr.. Loud of Cali
fornia, chairman of the house com
mittee on postoffices and post
roads,, made the following declara-
ton:
There is much maudlin sentiment
among many Of our people about the
postoffice department.. The postof-
flee department is an accommodation
to the great mass of our people, but
not an absolute necessity; private
means could as we'll or better be
adapted to the transmission of our
mails, and in my opinion it could be
done much more cheaply, will,
quicker dispatch and better satisl
faction to- our people. There is not
a sane business man in this country,
who has given the matter any
thought, but knows that the postoffice
department could be operated by pri-
vate individuals on our present ap-
preparation. and return net profit
Of from thirty to forty millions a
year.
Nevertheless the public Is, by a.
ld1So 1udJOilIys fldVOTdDl6 TO govern
ment management Of the departm ent.
for that IS function which beyond
doubt can in this case be exercised
more advantageously by government
than by private individuals. But the
public, by a large majority, very
strongly desires that the government
and congress shall conduct the de-
partment with as much fidelity to
real, practical business principles, as
controls the operations Of a great
business house or bank.
Is it impossible to conduct a gov
ernment agency on purely business
Professional politicians
think and say it is impossible. They
have an Idea that a government de-
partment ought to be. a preserve for
their class and their henchmen. They
fight against every proposition to
place the $4,000 fourth class postmas-
ters under the civil service rules
where they ought to be and where
the civil service commissioners last
spring adjudged they ought to be,
President Roosevelt taking the same
view.

more than 200, is being reorganized over

Ing to the plans outlined by General
Schoeffel the organization will be along
the same lines as those governing police
departments in large municipalities in tho

taken from the New York police DEPART

of the Ward liner Mexico, which had got
in in the night and had anchored off Quar-

he had been married by proxy on Nov. 49,
She was Sen orita Anna Rosa Fernandez,
an orphan, with beauty and money, living
with her uncle in Havana, where Lopez's
father is the superintendent Of a railroad
Lopez. himself, Is mechanical engineer

He met his bride In Havana. They ex-
pected to be married several months ago;
but, because Of deaths in the family. the
ceremony was postponed. Meanwhile,
Lopez was compelled to return to his busi-
ness in Paterson. As he couldn't leave
his work, and as the young woman's uncle
wouldn't consent to let her come here until
she was married, the proxy marriage was
arranged. The bridegroom's father acted
