1853, the year of Commodore Perry's
famous visit to Japan At the age of
1e he attracted the attention of Mar
quis Kuroda, one of the richest and
most powerful of the old Daimios Of
Japan. who determined to provide for
his education and sent him in 1871 to
Boston. After his studies at the Rice
School and the English High School.
young Kaneko entered the law office
of Messrs. Gray & Swift, his work
there being largely directed by oliver
Wendell Holmes Jr., now OF the Unit
ed States Supreme Court. During his
course in the Harvard law school,
from which he graduated in 1878.
Returning to Japan Immediately af-
ter graduation, he was in 1880 ap-
pointed secretary of the Senate and
had assigned to him the task of ex-
amining the constitutions of all the
states of Europe and America, in
preparation for the impending change
in the Government of his native coun-
try Four years afterward he became
secretary to Marquis (then Count
Ito and was appointed on the commits
sion to draft the new constitution. The
following year, continuing in the same
line of work, he was on the commits
sion to reorganize the administrative
departments of the Government For
the service thus rendered, on the pro-
mitigation of the constitution he was
rewarded with the decoration of the
order of the Sacred Treasure
In 1889, receiving an appointment
as imperial commissioner to study the
actual workings of parliamentary in
stitutions, he travelled extensively in
Europe and America, and on his re-
turn, as chief secretary of the House
Of Peers, superintended the organiza-
tion of the new Japanese Parliament
In 1892, having been elected a MEM
Der of the Institute of International
Law Mr.. Kaneko attended the meet
ing in Geneva, where his plea for the
abolition of extraterritoriality was in
fluentiaI in determining the favorable
vote of the institute. In 1894. be-

by the Emperor with an appointment

then he has been Mayor of one of the
Toxic municipalities.
I While Baron Kaneko has come to
America as a special envoy of the jap
anese Emperor, his field of activity
is commercial and economic rather
than, narrowly speaking, diplomatic.
Broadly speaking, however.-it is dip
lomatic, for his Government, looking
hopefully toward the end of the pres
ent struggle, realizes the growing inn
portance of the United States on the
Pacific and believes that a community
of trade interests between the two ma
tions, conyincingly demonstrated and
carried into effect, will, with the An
glo-Japanese alliance. constitute an
impossible barrier to future Asiatic
encroachments by Russia or any other
power.

President Roosevelt evidently does study to please
those who criticize him. What his hand should
is done by his hand openly, frankly and pub
lcly He to public judgment, upon what others

himself The great and antagonistc variety of criticism
OF him is due to lack of anything in him that may be
justly criticized at ALL His>enemies manufacture set
OF characteristics for him and call the country listen
to what they have to say about it.
In the midst of the saying the President shows plainly
all that he has of the characteristics
ascribed to him and then a has to be manu-
featured The fact is that the country understands the
President entirely and thoroughly and the attempt to
make misunderstood him has had troubles in the past

Fatal Accidents.

Many sO-Called accidents are due 10
carelessness. AS a matter of fact,
they are not accidents at all, but the
inevitable effect of causes readily
understood. The avoidance Of the
catastrophe might have been termed
an accident
When there is an accident involving
loss Of life, of course the duty Of fix
ing the blame rests with the proper
officials. The purpose of fixing this
blame is not that a resolution OF cen
sure may be passed. but prev entive
measures be suggested, and in case Of
criminal negligence, the way opened

The fact must be borne in mind

machinery lose presence Of mind.
They cannot be charged with malice.
and there had been no way Of ascer-
tanning that they were unequal to the
task undertaken.
There are certain regulations in
every city concerning street car traf-
ic. These include reference to speed,
70 the use OF safety appliances, and a
system Of inspection. Despite the fact
that Notwithstanding all possible pre-
cautions. accidents cannot be absO-
lutely prevented, the truth is that the
majority of accidents represent a cul-
pable defiance OF some or all OF the
regulations. Even the knowledge of
this truth has been of slight effect.
People who create catastrOUhes fatal
to others are sorry about it. and per

the incident soon closes.
Concerning the recent OVerturning

passenger and the injury of many
more, a verdict should be sought firm

source, there is no disposition to in

In this simple circumstance is cheer
and a blow to race suicide. The man
who could not AFFORD to undertake the

an occasional one at S23. Moreover,
there is moral certainty that If a
young woman. presumably on con-
quest bent, can go to Saratoga under
a S23 lid, one whose conquest has al
ready been accomplished, might stay
at home perhaps content with even a
cheaper one, and possibly by rear

Sunday Funerals.

that these impressive ceremonials

that they can make more money in
other ways upon the day in question,
and the last that their regular Iab0rs
are severe enough. The undertakers
merely acquiesce, knowing they have
a certainty in any case.

deceased, and the mourners. A man
may not choose the hour OF his
death, and il he be called 1T such time
