JAP HEROISM IS DUE
TO ANCESTOR WORSHIP

In Europe death ends the duties of
citizen; in Japan it only begins
them. To know that for countless
generations the family will gather
together to venerate the memory of
the departed cannot fail to have n
great effect upon the soldier.
Disgrace on the field of battle does
not affect him alone, it touches his
family, his ancestors and his de-
scendants. Every soldier feels in a
battle the countless eyes of his an
cestors upon him, and the eyes of
his descendants, vet unborn, and to
do anything shameful is impossible
To disgrace himself would mean
that his spirit would have to wander
about unvenerated, his name would
be wiped off the family rolls, and he
would cease to exist in the future.
How deeply this sentiment affects
the nation may be gathered from the
great attention that is paid to the
granting of posthumous honors to
soldiers and sailors who have died

TIGERS DROP
DOWN A PEG

The Angels took a decided brace
yesterday and walked off with the
Tigers scalp. They played an err
rorless game and managed to keep
out of the listless spell which char
acterizes ,neir playing in the two
previous games.
Fishers men had all the better of
the contest from batting stand
point but total of four errors at
critical points more than offset their
heavy stick work.
Bobby Keefe held the visitors
down to five hits, and might have
scored shut-out but for the errors
behind him
Newton officiated in the box for
Captain Flood and kept his hits well
scattered except in the sixth, when
the Tigers tore off three singles,
which Noted them as many runs.

Increased.
The question of rates evoked con.
siderable discussion. The franchise
provides that the maximum rate for
business phones shall be IS per
month, and for residences $2.75 per
month, until the company shall have
secured 5000 subscribers For each
additional thousand the rate is to be
increased so cents per month. Some
of the committeeman thought the
rates too high, but Mr. MARTENS ex-
planned that the figures named did
not mean that the company would
charge that much. The rates would
have to be low enough, he said, to
meet the competition of the other
company. The question of rates was
finally passed uD to the committee
of the whole with the rest of the
franchise.
Both the remonstrance of tho
Sunset Telephone company and the
petition of the Independent people
were before the committee, but re-
ceived scant consideration.

said Chairman Lamborn. "They
are not worth the paper they arc

NEW TELEPHONE FRANCHISE IS
PASSED Up To THE COUNCIL

The franchise committee has
shifted the responsibility of dealing
with the Independent telephone
franchise to the council II is now
up to that body to bring the new
company into Tacoma or keep It out
AZ the committee meeting last
night the franchise was carefully
read, and after making a few chang
es. az the suggestion of Chairman
Lamborn the franchise was referred
to the council without recommends
tion. The matter will probably be
taken M by the council in commit
tee of the whole next week.
Before the committee took action
last night, Councilman Read said:
There are a couple of points I want
TO speak OF before taking this mat
tier up. II has been stated that this
company has no financial backing
and merely wants the franchise to
trade on. To give these people an
opportunity TO show that they are
acting in good faith, suggest that
we raise the 81 900 deposit to
$4,000 and Increase the amount to
be spent here the first six months
after the franchise is accepted from
$4,000 TO $50, 600, and increase the
amount 10 be spent the second SIX
months from $4,000 TO $4,000
Thhe other committeeman, except
Mr.. Conrad, took the same view OF
the matter. Mr.. Conrad said that
while he did not really favor grant.

TOKYO, July 1.-The victories at
onstrated beyond any dispute the
ability of the Japanese armies to
win battles. but they have not en-
abled the world to see clearly why
this is so. The perfection of the
military organization is apparent,
the thoroughness of every detail is
there, the men are brave, but all
these do not explain everything. The
men of other nations are brave and
yet they would never have stormed
the heights of Nanshan. The rea-
son is further to seek.
There is no other race like this
race, and there is no telling where
it will stop 1t is this ability to
think out matters thoroughly that
has enabled the Japanese to raise
their forces to so high a point.
BY wonderful system of adapta-
ton and assimilation all the ideas of
other nations have been taken,
welded together and the whole inn
proved and made Japanese. What
Japan has done ought to be possible
to every nation--the facts and the
information are there to be chosen
from. But the personal foundation
is missing, the material at the COM
mand of Japan is different from that
in any other land.
And vet, at first sight, it would
appear as if there could never be
found men less naturally fitted for
soldiers. Largely drawn from an ag-
ricultUral population, the conscripts
are for the most part vegetarians,
men who have never seen blood In
their lives. The conditions of their
homes are peaceful and by tempera-
ment they are the happiest of men.
What power exists then that is able
to transform these peaceful farmers
into the daredevil heroes who took
the Russian entertainments?
There are two great elements that
must be taken into account. The
first and by far the greater element
is that exercised by ancestor-wor-
ship
The veneration of ancestors is I'M
iversal in Japan and has been sc
during even the feudal times. 1t Ii
no eXaggeratiOn to say that every
Japanese is an worshipper
This entails upon him the onerOus
duty of so living that he shall be q
good ancestor to his descendants
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-07-01

on the field of distinction
The second element which makes
the soldiers what they are is the Ell
feet of the teachings of Bushido, the
ethical code of chivalry. The most
terrible of all disgraces, the most
unforgivable of all sins, was to do
anything shameful. The Japanese
soldiers combine the best advantages
of fanatic, with those of thinking
and intelligent individuals.

SUPREME COURT AFFIRMs CITY
 ORDINANCE.
Birmingham lnse of Great Interest to Race Horse Men Decided-Opin-
 ion of Chancellor Carmichael Sustained.

The Supreme Court of Alabama yes terday decided that pools should not be sold on horse races In Birmingham. It held that a city ordinance enacted for the purpose of preventing the sale of pools was binding and effective.
 The case was one of great local in- terest in Birmingham. It came to the Supreme Court under the title of E. F. Brown vs. the City Council of Birming- ham. E. F. Brown is q well known race horse man of Norfolk, Va He was interested in a place in Birmtng- ham where pools were sold on horse races The City Council passed an or- dinance making such business un- lawful.
 Brown applied to Chancellor Car michael and secured a temporary in- junction restraining the City Council from interfering with his place of business When the injunction came up for final or permanent adjustment the Chancellor dismissed it. Brown appealed the case to the Supreme Court. The Court yesterday upheld the decision of the Chancellor and the validity of the Birmingham ordinance The opinion was by Mir Chief Justice Mcclellan.

DROUGHT IS ALARMING
CROPS OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY
 AFFECTED SERIOUSLY.
Poor Stands of Cotton Are Reported Every Where and Weather Bu- reau Holds Out No Hope
 fo Farmers.

The recent showers benefited the crops of Montgomery County little and the drought situation Is becoming alarming.
 Poor stands of cotton are reported all over the county. Upland corn Is growing slowly, some having received a second blowing. Little lowland corn is up and poor stands are general. Wheat and oats were improved by the showers of April ', but the promised yield is less than the average. Gar dens and all minor crops are backward and are needing rain, while fruit is do- ing but poorly.
 Some cotton is chopped and seed are scarce and oats are heading low.
 The Weather Bureau gives out no immediate promise of rain. Director F. P. Chaffee said yesterday that 1t was possible that in a few days beneficial showers might fall but there are no immediate indications.
 In the northern and western coun- ties. there have been general showers, while through Jefferson, Walker. Blount, and St. Clair Counties, the rains have been good but from Cherokee County on the East to Escambia on the West, the drought prevails.
