Nagasaki has always been a favorite re-
sort of the Russians and is dotted with
small inns where Russian barmaids serve
beverages to the sailors OF the different ma
tions. Some of these girls are really beau
tiful, but they degenerate and grow coarse
with age. For months previous to the war
many Russian Jews, escaping the persecu-
tons in their native land, have been har-
bored in Nagasali. just what their status
is now that the war is on and the jews
in Russia are offering financial aid would
be difficult to define They are of a we'll
TODD class and have more the appearance
of a jolly crowd of tourists than a COM
munity fleeing from persecution.

Nagasaki is one of the oldest ports in
Japan and it has been the arena of bloody
battles. High ND on the side of one of the
mountains is an old stone church of Euro
pean architecture. 1t was built as a
monument to the Christian missionaries
who were massacred in an uprising several
centuries ago.
just below is one. of the largest of the
native burying grounds, covering a large
space on the side of the mountain. 1t
is the belief of the people that once a
year the souls of the dead come back to
visit their graves, and that night is the
scene of a great celebration. The graves
are small and close together, as many
japanese cremate their dead, and on each
little square is hung a paper lantern. Then
the friends of the deceased make the most
fantastic boats-of fancy-colored paper
varying in length from a few feet to a
rod. These, too are strung with lighted
lanterns and carried to the graves, till
the whole side of the mountain glstens
with colored lights. After a soiourn of a
few hours, during which the reunion is
supposed to have taken place, these boats
are carried in a procession on the shoulders
of the JAMS to the shore of the harbor.
There with their spiritual passengers they
are sent ailoat to join the elements.

the presence of war vessels and merchant

aboard liner anchored in the harbor,
was talking to an English woman. and
in the course of the conversation remarked
with pride that the japanese celebrate the
Fourth of July with the Americans.

when we have a treaty with Japan" said
she tiercely.. "Why, it's a slap in our
face
Nevertheless it is true. In Yokohama
the day is celebrated on a great scale and
in the evening the streets are packed with
Japs firing off crackers and shooting can

there are fewer Amercans-about $50 resi-
dents-and though the celebration is on a
small scale the day does not go by unno-
ticed 1t is usually the occasion of consid-
cradle cannonading in the harbor, and be-
cause of its mountainous surrounding, the
sound echoes and reverberates long after
the gun has been diminishing slowly
until it finally dies away. 1t is a weird
prolonging and reminds one of gigantic
Rip Van Wingle playing at nine pints in
the mountains.

The Raleigh Contempt Case.
4Asheville Citizen.

ASheVllle C1IlZen.
The action of Judge Thomas r,
Purnel, United States district judge
for the Eastern district of North Car
DINA, in holding the editor of the
Raleigh News and Observer guilty of
contempt of court and which met with
such a storm of protest from the peo-
pie of North Carolina is now attract
ing the attention OF the conservative
journals of the country. The IN
dianapolis News after recounting the
events which led up to the action OF
Judge Purnell, says:
1T is we'll that contempt should be
accurately defined. For the public
must have full liberty to discuss, crit
icise and condemn, within reason, the
decisions and DEGREES of the courts.
BY their life tenure, and their inde-
pendent position, Federal judges are
far enough removed from publc
opinion-which is, we think, well.
But that very fact makes it all the
more necessary that the fullest right
Of criticism should be reserved to the
public. To attempt TO punish a man
CT a newspaper for such criticism is
to be guilty of tyranny. If Judge
Purnell made a mistake in appoint
ing the receivers-as the suspension
Of the receivership by Chief Justice
Fuller seems to indicate-it was the
duty of the Raleigh News and Obser-
YER to say so. And the editor of the
paper should have been praised
rather than imprisoned for doing his
duty.
Judges even when appointed by
the President are responsible to the
people in the sense that the people
have a right to call them to account
by pointing out their mismakes, OF
any wrong conduct of which they
may be guilty. 1t is their business TO
interpret the laws enacted by the
peoples representatives. and when
they fail to dc that as it should De
done. it Is the people that suffer-
Liberty can not survive il the voice
Of criticism is stifled."
The citizens of not only this Stat"
but of the entire country have clearly
indicated their feelings in the matter
in no uncertain terms. The delegates
to various county conventions hetd
recently have heartily endorsed Ed
tor Daniels and condemned Judge
Purnen. The sovereign people realize
that a free press is absolutely neces-
sary If liberty is to survive, ana as III
the case of the Raleigh editor are
liberal with their support.

The News and Observer congratu-
lates Itself and it's thousands OF
readers that it can announce an adol-
ton to it's editorial staff in the person
of Mr.. Robert Lilly Gray, of Raleigh.
MIR. Gray is a scholarly young man
and is singularly gifted with the pen.
Years ago he was local editor of an
afternoon paper in Raleigh and DEM
onstrated that he has the true news
paper instinct. His letters from Fay

From Strength to Strength.

Defeat? Nay, verify! such fate
Never can whelm thee, trustful soul.
AS God lives, some time, soon or late,
Thine is a splendid goal
AS frosts that grip, and storms that
shock,
And droughts that fire the verdant
lands
But warp and closer interlock
The oaks reluctant bands;
So are they friends. not enemies,
Who seem to work thee loulest

Scorn. buffet, and rebuff,

Thou growest but more strong.

Fain to give DER the strife; but

For all these hurts foregone.

Ethics of Taxation.

The ever-presenu subject of taxes
is very suggestively discussed by
Winthrop More Daniels in n paper
upon 1.-The Ethics of Taxation" in the
June Atlantic. After tracing with
yivacious pen some of the humors,
Inconsistencies, and wrongs of our
present system, Mr.. Daniels con-
cludes in an optimistic vein.
Fortunate is it for us that the
lines upon which the reform of direct
taxes must proceed have been so
clearly marked out, and that some OF
our commemorative have already
taken pronounced steps in the right
direction. The taxation of real estate
by and for the local governments eX-
clusively, the practical exemptlon or
credits and chattels in individual
hands, and the relegation both of thx
administration and the proceeds OF
corporate taxation to the state gov
ernments, foreshadow the financial
reform to which we may sometime
attain"

Two Favorite Poems.

(Victor Smith, in N. Y. Press.)
Perhaps the most popular two
poems in the English language with
men in the decay of life, when there
is time for thought and reflection. are
Gray's Elegy and Goidsmith's Her
nit" 1t is written that when Gen
eral Wolfe was being rowed a@Sng
with muffled oars to take Quebeck, the
Gibraltar of America, he repeated
these lines:
Full many a gem of purest ray serene
The dark, unfathomed caves or
ocean bear;
Full many a flower is born to blush
And waste it's sweetness on the de-
sert air.
CT would rather" he said to his
officers, 'be the author of those lines
than take Quebec" Shortly after, IN
the very hour of victory, he lost his
life on the Plains of Abraham
Another soldier, one who died nor
so long ago, who had been rich, put
lost his fortune and went to the grave
almost a pauper at about 80 loved to
quote every night these three stanzas
from "The Hermit:
Then, pilgrim, turn, thy cares foresso'
All earthborn cares are wrong;
Man wants but little here below,
Nor wants that little long
Alas! the joys that fortune brings
Are trifling and decay.
And those who prize the paltry Things
More trihing still than they
And what is friendship but name'
A charm that lulls to sleep,
A shade that follows wealth or fame,
And leaves the wretch to weep!
Old men from the country love I
Remember" There are millionaires
here in our midst who will reel OIL
Tom Hood:
I remember, Il remember,
The house where / was born
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn.
He never came a wink too soon'
Nor brought too long a day:
But now l often wish the night
Had borne my breath away.
