SWORDS IN JAPAN.

Until the year 1903 there was no law
existing in Japan with regard to the
wearing OF swords. Anyone might carry
as many as he chose. During the Tok
ugawa regime, however. a law was pro-
mulsated which allowed only mobiles. the
lighting men. or samural. the artists or
painters, and the swordsmiths to carry
swords. This law remained in force I'M
I'll 1871. when an edict was issued forbid
ing anyone TO wear swords in public.
This ceated discomfort among those
whose privilege it was to carry them.
whereupon the government proclaimed
another edict. allowing anyone to wear
as many swords as he pleased. This
removed the cherished distinction at
tached to the wearer of a sword. and no
one cared to do what was permitted TO
all. Although wearing swords has entire
iy ceased for twenty years in japan.
the old esteem and reverence for the
weapon and its use still exist among the
gentlemen of the country. and many of
the nobility have at their houses reg
ular establishments where fencing is
practiced
In the past there were certain famous
SWordmakers IN Japan and authentic
blades of their workmanship are highly
priced. one old-time swordmaker has a
singular reputation. This is Murarnasa.
who was a pupil Of the great Masamune.
second in fame Of all Japanese sword
smiths. He was widely known and IN
douhtedly made swords which were ex-
cellent weapons. but he was a man Of
violent temper. and his swords were
thought exceedingly dangerous. Il was
supposed that once withdrawn from the
sheath they always shed blood before
being returned. They were regarded as
being particularly unluoky. so far as
the Tokugawa family OF japanese rulers
was concerned The father and grand
father Of Iyeyasu. the first shotgun Of
the family, were both attacked by men
carrying Muramasa swords. Iyeyasu
therefore issued an edict forbidding any
one IN carry them Il was in this way
that they acquired their bad reputation

out Mr.. Atwood's speech there was the

nail on the head. according to Democratic
views. the convention passed into a state
of enthusiasm such as very few men are
able to create.
overmyer's Address.
David Overmyer followed Mr.. Atwood
with a brief and splendid Democratic
harrangue, which consisted chiefly in de-
nunciations of the Republican party. He
made the convention break into outbursts
of laughter on account of his sarcastic
grimaces. Overmyer is one of that class
of orators who make point and then
take thousand pound trip hammer to
drive 1t into the minds of their hearers.
He spoke of Roosevelt and referred to
him several times as the wild goat from
the West" In picturing the terrible
disposition of the Republican party he
portrayed it as an enemy to the common
people and to every doctrine of decency.
Dave was hard on everyone but the
Democrats, and he talked very loving TO

the convention, and that was that he
never mentioned Hearst or any other can
didste for president during his speech.
He talked along other lines and. while
he did not get the cheers that Atwood re-
ceived. he was applauded quite often.
AS the day was drawing to a close and
the convention had been allowed suf-
fciency of speeches, the order of bust
ness was again taken up. Many of the
delegates noted the action of the chair
man in permitting speeches at this point
when the hour was so late. but when the
committee on resolutions was out and
there was plenty of time he would not let
one word be spoken in the way of
speech. No little comment was passed
upon this feature of the convention.
which proved that the antiHearst faction
went into the meeting with the full in
tention of knocking the Hearst men OF
their pegs.

Ahead of His Age.

The probability that vehicles driven
by steam would be the future means of
transportation on land was very we'll
foreseen twenty years before the eight
eenth century closed by Oliver Evans
Of Philadelphia, the inventor of the
high pressure steam engine. AS early
as 1876 he petitioned the legislature of
Pennsylvania for the exclusive right to
use his inventions for road wagons to
be propelled by steam. The word loco
motive had not then come into use.
This privilege was denied, but the
Maryland legislature granted the right
for fourteen years. There appeared at
one time good prospects Of Evans OBJ
tanning the necessary financial support
to apply his steam engine to the propul-
sion of boats and road wagons, but
some cautious capitalist of that day
determined to have B. Fl. Latrobe, an
accomplished architect and engineer,
report upon the schemes that Evans
was advocating. Latrobe reported
strongly against the steam engine, say
ing that the inventor was a visionary.
This report ruined Evans career and
deprived America Of the benefits Of
the steam engine in transportation for
two generations longer.

DO NOT WANT A CHANGE
People Are Willing to Continue the Pres
ent Administration.

People Are Willing to Continue the Pres
ent Administration.
The constitution of the United States
requires an election for president and
vice president every four years. The
provision is mandatory and cannot be
escaped. Under it the people are
called upon to vote for president AMI
vice president every fourth year with
out regard to politics, the record, or
the work of the administration in
power. The election must be held
whether change is desirable or not
There is reason to believe that
large majority of the American peo-
pie do not desire a change in the
national administration at the present
time, and that if it were a matter of
choice with them no election would be
held this year. A national election
always interferes with business more
or less, and as the business of the
country grows the feeling increases
that, in the absence of any reason for
a change, a presidential election is a
disturbing factor that might we'll be
dispensed with if the constitution per-
mitted. That is the situation at pres
ent. The great mass of the people are
so well satisfied with the present adj
ministration that they do not desire
a change, and if the constitution did
not require an election to be held they
would regard it as unnecessary.
Who wants a change? Not the
farmers, for they never were more
prosperous or better satisfied than they
are at present Not the business men,
for business is satisfactory Not man.
ufacturers, for American manufacture
ers are outstripping those of all other
countries. Not Wage-earners, for there
are more men employed at good wages
today than ever before in the history
of the country. Not railroad men, for
the transportation business has grown
enormously during the last few years
and still gives promise of future
growth. In short, no large class of
our varied population can be named
but has good reason to desire a con-
tinuance of present conditions If it
were not for the constitutional require
ment the people would have preferred
that no election took place this year.
The only exceptions are the Demo-
cratic party leaders and those un-
fortunate people who have not the
sense to let well enough alone.
