fare of one rate plus fifty cents from
any point in Minnesota to Duluth and
return; 2. A rate of one fare plus
fifty cents from any point in southern
Minnesota to st. Paul and return and
a rate of $500 from st. Paul, Mime

tween the Twin Cities and Duluth

In Japan.

The governmental systems Of the United States
and Japan are at wide variance, in that one il demo-
cratic and the other imperial. The peoples are of
different races. Their histories prohibit comparison.
Their customs are unlike. Between them there is,
fundamentally, but little in common. Yet from the
Of progress in Japan there has been an
American style, in energy, human characteristics,
policies and ideals.
Until recently Japan had been heard of only a
little in remote parts Of the world, and even the
great Powers, whose agents are watching every
where for signs Of new advancement, had ignored
it almost entirely. Reform and progress began in
Japan about fifty years ago, in accord with modern
standards, and 1t Is but a few years since the eoun-
try began to be considered a great force in inter
national affairs.
That Japan's sudden rise to eminence is a sur
prise to the whole world is due, probably, to the
rapidity Of advancement. Once a change was de-
cided upon. the people acted quickly, forcefully and
tremendously. under the guidance of n wise govern
ment, and much has been accomplished in a short
time. In two generations Japan has developed
from relative insignificance into real greatness.

ST. lois Day.

The Universal Exposition is of st. Louis. This
city designed, made and maintains it. It's failure
would have been a civic dishonor: its success adds
to the city's reputation in every section Of the
world. As an exposition and a university 1t is an
international institution. but rs an enterprise and rs
an unprecedented achievement il is strictly n local
project and attainment.
And so it IL but natural and patriotic that the
people Of this city should most heartily desire that
st. Louis Day be made the greatest special event in
the Worlds Fairs brief but glorious career. They
wish that on this occasion the distinguished part
which the city and its nblcst men have taken in the
great work should be brought into prominence OF
due proportion, not only with the object OF exalt-
ing the city, but Of expressing the pride which resi-
dents rightly feel.
The date OF st. Louis Day is Thursday, SeptcIn-
Der -. The arrangements arc intrusted to n
special committee OF public officials and business
men. No doubt can exist that the programme will
bc both interesting and appropriate or that labor
and expense will not be spared in making complete
This committee is acting for the
general public and consequently will have to get
earnest support from all elements If citizenship and
from the individual resident.
st. Louis Day viii be Il public event. The com
lnittee certainly will call into participation all of
those factors which are active In the city's wei
fare and advancement. The municipal ndministra-
ton and Its departments. mercantile organizations
and corporations, labor organizations, civic associa-
lions, religious and fraternal bodies. educational i'll
military organizations and even social as
will contribute, az they should, to the
success Of the celebration. And, as il proper, every
Of the Worlds Fair will assist actively
In the functions Of tho day.
TWO purposes nre In view. The first Is 10 have
the best programme and thus make the event ex-
The second Is 10 attract the largest
throng In the Exposition's history. Both purposes
should be realized, for 81. Louis Day will b. a popu-
lnr celebration, in every respect. The event com
both the greatness of the Exposition and
the connection OF st. Louis with Its construction
and general SUCCESS.
81. Louis Day is scarcely more than a mouth
distant. The committee has practically arranged a
satisfactory programme. Everything is prepared
that will mako the event entertaining and interest
Ing as a celebration. And now expectations are
in the public, that the throng on st. Louis
Day may DO the largest and most enthusiastic by
Ear. Tho st. Louis Day celebration Is an appeal to
the civic pride Of every citizen, and the individual
should unite with tho organizations toward making
It the intended demonstration for st. Louis.

RECENT COMMENT.
Industrial Woman.

North American Review.
When woman tries to become man and to do mans
work in mans way. she fails. and will continue to fail
as long as sex Is the nnal distinction which no possible
element in life can disturb. But the Industrial world
does not circle about the home without entering its
doors. In the tide OF affairs that sweeps men on to
fortune. the ebb and flow are felt as quickly upon tho
hearthstone as they arc upon the forum, and the woman
beside the cradle Is as truly an economic factor. is as
significantly the woman in industry" as any OF her
sisters who happen to be earning a personal income I'm
more direct ways.
Therefore, when woman in industry means, as It
already does in numberless ways. simply one class OF
capable human beings expressing themselves after their
own particular fashion: whom 1t shows a Rosa Bonheur
with her paint brushes, a George Eliot with her pen, a
Clara Barton with a nurses cap. a small army busted
at loom, at counter, at typewriter. in libraries. in hos
pitfalls, in kitchens, OF in Offices. It means only that here.
at last, woman is not only the wife OF one man. not
only the mother OF a half dozen children; but she is
normally "the eternal feminine" manifesting anew her
distinctive intelligence. earning In the broadest sense
her indestructible honor as Mother Of all. the living"

REPUBLICAN ENDORSEMENT
OF FOLKS CANDIDACY.
Missouri R~p.bIIcn.s as Biundcr.

Chicago Tribune Rspublicau).
The Republican State Convention OF
Missouri deliberately sinDed against the
light when II made "A psTty nomination
for the ~goyernorship and refused TO In
dorse Joseph W. Folk. II showed its in
difference to a great moral issue and its
ignorance OF practical politics.
The men who ran the Republican Con
vention reasoned that Folk had made so
many enemies by exposing political Grim
inals and by overthrowIng the Democratic
state machine that he would not get his
full party strength at the coming election.
II was anticipated that the bcodIers whose
business he had ruined and the machine
men whose power he has destroyed would
surely bolt Folk. The Republican politi-
clans Of Missouri exhibited q good deal OF
8rnartness. but not much sense.
b will bolt
Folk and vote for the Republican
candidate, but for every bOOtler
whose vote he loses Folk will gain
ten ballots from honest men who
had heretofore voted the straight
Republican ticket, but who will, In
the coming election, vote for Roose-
Welt and Folk.
Folk wilf probably be elected by one Of
the greatest majorities ever cast for any
candidate in Missouri. Which Ii as it
should be.

been AZ command Of the general public. and even Of
students OF current history. as that which is pre-
scented In the Japanese exhibits at the st. Louis

viduality Of the representation enable the visitor 10
form an accurate knowledge Of progress in Japan:
10 get n conclusive impression as TO Japan's present
rank among the nations and OF its prospects in al
provinces of activity.
Jaran's exhibition is equal To any made by the
greatest nations. 1t is equal in almost every re-
spcct. and in some respects 1t surpasses. Above
all, it is complete: and consequently shows the coun-
try to the best advantage. Displays are made in
every department of the Exposition, and there is
good reason. The result is that japan compels the
attention Of every visitor, whether informed or I'M
informed about foreign matters.
The japanese representation strongly suggests n
resemblance between the people Of the Empire and
the people Of the American Republic. The nations
seem to possess the same common traits. Japan
was quick to perceive the advantages of modern
methods, customs and invention, and was quick 10
accept and adapt them. If it was quick TO accept.
it was quick to apply; and If it was quick TO apply,
it was quick to achieve. Thus has Japan remade
Itself in a brief span of years.

st. Louis is the same Japan which is attracting at
tention across the Pacific Ocean; but here it is the
Japan Of peace and advancement, the real Japan,
and this is the Japan which every citizen OF the
United States should know better.

IF ALL u SEE IT.

To those who have spent wearisome but most
happy years in study and who have not only real
lied the price Of knowledge but also have felt the
supremacy gratifying surprises, the certainty that
the st Louis Exposition University must fade after
a brief glory, like all great and beautiful human en-
terprises, is a matter Of sincere regret. II this in
te1national educational Institution could endure un-
til all might behold its innumerable wonders, simple
and profound, there is no doubt that the peoples
Of the whole world would be better as well as wiser.
Tho outward spectacle Itself Ii one Of such mag-
nifcencs that 1t must impress an lndelible Image In
the mind. Nature and man have bestowed upon
the scene and all which II encompasses their best
gifts and talents, giving 1t incompatible beauty and
charm. OF a billy forest and a stupendOus show
an indescribably captivating spectacle was created.
Approaching tho difficulties Of acquiring general
knowledge, Of studying books, Of occurring and sc.
lectng material for reading, Of straining all Of the
faculties Of the brain in tho effort to understand
that which Is described and explained and illus
trated, but In not demonstrated, and the obstacles
interposing against even a superficial education, It
is possible to estimate the value Of the unrivaled
opportunities here presented and the efficacy of the
methods. The Exposition offers opportunities for
a liberal education, and, in addition, facilitates the
dissemination Of knowledge by instructive demon
%strations.
The scope Of the university is as wide as the
world. There is no subject concerning human types
and activities and research that Is not embraced in
the curriculum. There Is no subject that ia not
clearly demonstrated. Everything that is Of in
terest or use to man is exhibited and illustrated.
Nations and tribes In all parts of the earth have
contributed and 1t stands as n worlds university,
the like of which never has been and never may be
again. That the opportunities for n liberal educa.
ton exist Ia an established fact. That the methods
Of education are the most eficacious yet adopted
and tried IL also a confirmed fact.
The facilities are MS remarkable az the opportuni-
ties are generous and comprehensive. It is deplor-
able, therefore, that the advantages must be re-
linquished far too soon; but 1t would be more de-
plorable, II, while they may be accepted easily and
cheaply, many OF those for whom they are particu-.
larry intended should be Indifferent. The EXPOSE
ton University was constructed, not for profit, but
for education and edifcation, and the cherished
wish Of those who created it is that all should see
1t and profit.

Cyrus z. Walbridge OF st. Louis, whom
the Republican State Convention In Mis-
souri, has nominated for Governor against
Joseph w. Folk, appears to be n man of
character and distinction. Granting this
beaten, the gamblers and political boodlers
viii all be elated. Nothing can possibly
prevent Folks defeat from being morally
even II Missouri were u Republican State.
Since II Is not a Republican but q Demo-
cratic State. the failure OF Folk. the Dem
ocratic nominee. to receive the accus-
toned majority of the candidate OF his
party would be cumuiatively regarded ey-
erywhere as a popular rebuke for the mag
nificent reform work he did as District
Attorney. Mr.. Walbridge's responsibility
cannot alter Mr.. Folks record.
