PEASANT WOMEN IN JAPAN

They Not Only DO the Homework,
but Plow the Fields.
The sewing in the kimono consists OF
one small and one long stitch, q species
Of artistic bas1ng. There Is reason IN
this, for whenever the kinono Is wash
ed it Is ripped to pieces. This Is per
haps why the japanese, who battle
daily, wear such dirty clothes, while
the Chinese, who bathe sometimes
wear such clean clothes. The kimono
strips are dabbed up and down with
out soap, scrubbed with a brush and
are ironed by drying them carefully on
boards. One Of the sights Of a town
are these boards, with their strips OF
silk leaning against the sides OF the
houses.
The peasant women not only do the
housework, but out Of door work as
well. Like the coolies, they wear rou'
sers and stand knee deep in the slusn
Of the rice paddles, guide the water
bunaIoes at the plow or bind up the
straw to dry on the trees. Ih1s ls LIE
Japanese idea Of a haystack and makes
the trees look as II they were wearing
skirts.
One Of the novel sights is the ole
women mowers, clipping the lawns
with scissors as neatly as lawn
mower and stopping now and ther
to gossip over their tea. Both in China
and Japan the tending OF silkworms
Is not only done by women, but Is re
garded as an elegant duty. In China
each year the empress inaugurates II
ceremonially, as the emperor does the
spring plowing. In each country the
other important industry-the tea
growing-is largely in the hands OF Wo
men.

Two strange Ailments.

Aphasia, or the loss Of memory OF
comprehension Of speech, is & queer
complaint. A man who had forgotten
his sisters name always referred to
her ss .4that other woman" a person
apparently otherwise In perfect health
will substitute the name Of one article
for another totally different in the most
ludicrous way.
Amusta Is form Of aphasia which
prevents the patient from remember
ing music. One amusiac, unconscious
Of the oddity, sang the "Marseillaise
throughout to the syllables ''tan, tan,
tan" On the other hand, another
aphasiac, also Frenchnan, could
speak bat single word, but coulo
sing the "Marseillaise" correctly.

TIE Georgia legislature voted an
increase OF salary to the governor and
to the Judges, but made no appropria-
tion for paying it. They also passed
a law forbidding judges to accept free
passes from the railroads. A judge
riding around the country with a free
pass in his pocket Is a sorry spectacle,
and We congratulate the Georgia solcns
for iorbidding it.

THE NAME OF PARKER.

BE mentioned the name Of Parker
and the response was instantaneous. A
moment later he spoke Of the platform
and the contention between Hill and
Bryan over it's provisions. Immediate.
ly Bryan's name was taken up anG
cheered. "Well,' said Mr.. Davis, with
a meaning smile when quiet was re.
stored: II was member Of the plat
form committee and heard the debate
between those two gentlemen, but the
platfrom was formed and unanimously
passed by the convention, and here
today stand upon it and expect 1t in
Novembe to go to victory"
Mr.. Williams pleased his hearers i'm
mensely by laying down to MI. Davis
in irony rules of conduct to govern bis
official career, each rule based on some
characteristic of the opposition. He
talked for one hour and was listened
to throughout with marked attention
and evidences Of approval. Many times
be was interrupted by cheers or laugh
ter. When both had concluded Senator
Daniel responded to repeated demands
on him for speech by calling atten-
ton to the old saying that speech Is
silver, but silence Is golden" adding:

THE STRAINS OF DIXIE
To the strains of ''Di1ie" and a
melody of patriotic airs the assem-
blage dispersed, not, however, until
many OF its members had mounted the
platform and extended personal con-
gratulations to the candidate. The in
vited guests, including those in Mr..
Davis private party, who occupied a
roped-off reservation on the lett were
the first to shake the senator's hand.
Mr. Davis will remain at White Sui
phur until Friday when be will return
to his home at Elklns. His plans for
the campaign have not been fully ma
tured.
A pretty incident occurred at the
end Of the ceremonies when a delega-
tion or ladies from Atlanta, Ca, head
ed by Mrs. W. L. Peel, all bearing the
Georgia State flag, came forward to
congratulate the candidate. These
same ladies rendered Judge Parker a
reception in Atlanta last June.
The absence of National chairman
Taggart, who was unable to attend
the notification, as well as of nearly all
representatives Of the national COM
mittee rendered impracticable the for
nation here OF any plans touching the
national campaign.

AM SORRY TO BE OBLIGED


to add that the Presidents action in
this case was greeted by salVos Of ap-
proval from his party friends; and it
must be further added that not a feW
who are not his political supporters
applauded his action. So slow are
men to look below the surface Of
things and see the essence OF such con-
duct! So easy is it to palm of hum
bug and claptrap, yes, and rank In
justice and cruelty, as honorable in.
dignation OF spirited defence Of right.
For what is the essence Of the Presl-
dents action? It is that because q
portion, comparatively a small por-
tson, OF one entire community acts
badly, the President may take it upon
himself, without hearing and with
out law, to punish the whole COM
munity, the guilty and innocent alike.
The President had not a shadow OF
authority OF right to close the post
office at Indianola, none whatever,
and no man can show such authority.
The act was a purely vanton and law
less act. What be could do ald what
he should have done was to set in mo-
tion the legal remedies so abundantiy
provided by our Federal statutes for
the punishment Of those who caused
Mrs. Cox to resign and abandon her
office. The Federal statute book is
literally stuffed with provisions framed
to meet and punish such offences. Let
one open our U. S. Revised Statutes
and read, under the title Of Crimes, !"

and $500 to 1922.

THREE ROOSEVELT GRIMES.

What then? I can perhaps best
illustrate my view Of apropsr or hope
ful policy, in this regard, by referring
to certain we'll known acts Of PreSi-
dent Roosevelt in dealing with this
problem. Three Of his conspicuous
acts, related to the negro problem Of
our South, are (1) the Booker Wash

ment at Charleston, and ~ the Indi-

in each of these cases I thoroughly

Miss Jane Morgan of Philadelphia

United States Steam Vessel Inspectors,
and they have granted her master
mariners certificate, good for call
oceans" To get such a certificate, the
applicant must have sailed as navigat-
ing officer on an ocean or coastwise
vessel. Miss Morgan has had such ex-
perience on her fathers yacht. Her
certificate as master mariner attests her
fitness to take command of any vessel.
According to Captain Patterson, of the
New York Nautical College, there are
only five female master mariners in the
world, besides Miss Morgan. One of
these makes her living as pilot on the
Mississippi, another as pilot on the
