JAPAN'S EMPEROR.

Very few people have ever known
the emperor of Japan closely. He
must be undergoing something of an
evolution, for theoretically he is de-
signed as a national figurehead rather
than as a natural ruler. The present
crisis must have brought him out as
never before.
The English sometimes date their
pedigrees back to the conqueror with
a certain pride. But Mutsuhito-tenwo,
emperor of Japan, is the present rep
resentative of the Oldest royal dynas-
ty extant. He is the 121st emperor OF
his dynasty, which dates back in an
unbroken line 2,555 years He is the
direct descendant of Ginmu, the "di-
vine conqueror'' who, according to
Japanese mythology, descended from
heaven on the white bird of the
Clouds
Up to the opening of the present
war the japanese always carried the
Oriental notion that their emperor
should maintain a certain seclusion
appropriate to his position The fact
that he was hardly known personally
to his own people made him, however,
more free to go among them incog-
nito, which he is said to have done
extensively.
In the emperor's reign the bands of
feudalism that bound Japan to the
middle ages have been broken. He
granted a constitution voluntarily.
Literature, science and industry were
encouraged. 1t was only the remark
able advancement in the reign of Nut
suhito that made it possible for ORR
entail Japan to be equal to the task
of a possible successful war with
Russia.
War is costly, but it often lends the
most powerful stimulus to advance
ment. Japan has made more prog
ress within few years than other
Oriental nations have accomplished

SPORT AS A PEACEMAKER.

International sporting events are OF
immense value in promoting good feel
ing between neighboring peoples. Men
are like boys in that respect; good
playmates seldom become very bitter
enemies. Orientals break bread to-
gether and are thereby debarred from
Occidentals break records in friend
ly competition, with a like effect.
The Upton races for the Americas
Cup have been great promoters of the
Anglo-American entente They do
not, of course, decide the question for
statesmen; but they incline the COM
mon peop1e-who are the rules of both
natiOns-toward friendly policy.
The automobile races between the
French and the German chauffeurs
have also been having an undoubted
effect in bringing those two peoples
together.
King Sport is a peaceful Prince.
Friendly sporting clubs can do quite
as much for the worlds peace as so
many peace societies with their sol
emn resolutions and their lurid defini-
lions of war. Peoples who visit each
other as competing athletes and who
entertain each other so generously
that the visiting club never has quite
a fair chance for the trophy, can with
the utmost difficulty be induced to go
cunning for each other in deadly earn
est.

substitute for the pipe of peace

is CRIME INCREASING?

Whenever a crime of unusual turpi
tude is committed, and particularly
whenever a number of such forbid
ding events occur in quick succession,
we hear much about the epidemic of
crime accompanied by lugubrious
comment to the effect that wickedness
is increasing. that it is outrunning
the growth of population, that the
country is rapidly degenerating. 1t
has become the settled conviction of
minds chemically indisposed to look
upon the sunny side of things that the
criminal population is Increasing at
a more alarming rate than at any
time in the country's history, yet no
prof is at hand to support this pessi-
mistic view.
Penologists are awaiting trust
worthy and sufficiently comprehensive
statistics on this interesting subject.
Samuel ]. Barrows, Commissioner for
the United States on the Interna-
tional Prison Commission, declared in
a paper published in 1908 that for
want of any comparative statistics in

FARMERS EAST AND WEST.

An Iowa farmer who was bred in
New England, after making a visit to
the old farm, remarks that he OBJ
serves an absence of the old-time
thrift and application that once exist
ed among the farmers of New Eng
land. He says they work 800 days a
year in Iowa and that the New Eng
land farmer would have more "cash
money if he would labor on his farm

hours for at least nine months in the
months attend to the work of turning

the New England farmer can make
more dollars from an acre of corn
than they can in the west, but that
the western farmer makes it up by
having more acres under cultivation.

CULTIVATE A HOBBY.

"Since the home woman is the in
dispensable woman, it is a pity she so
often allows herself to fail in her full
development and reward" says an ed
itorial in Harper's Bazaar. ''She is apt
to be SO unSelfish and so conscientious
that she lets the four walls of home
narrow about her. and the simplest
remedy is to have at least one out
side interest. The woman who takes
up one hobby, one charity, one line of
work beyond her household cares,
and follows it steadily, will find that
it brings freshness and power with it.

canada,s Idea of Reciprocity.

The Canadians, it is now settled, do
not favor such reciprocity as that de-
manded by the Massachusetts friends
of reciprocity in the Democratic party.
The Canadians would be perfectly
willing to have free exchange of all
raw materials. but they have given
England a preferential tariff and will
not consent to admit American manu-
features to Canada on fair terms. The
Canadians are doing well as they are,
and are not as eager as formerly for
American business. The Americans,
on their part, are pretty sure to get a
large dose of Canadian trade, and are
shy OF any such reciprocity as the
Canadians will assent to, since such
reciprocity would be death to the ag-

RUSSIA SHOULD RECALL HIS
TORY.

Few, if any, incidents in her history
have reflected more credit upon Rus
STA than her declaration of neutral
rights, in 1850, which led to the for
nation of the first armed neutrality.
1t is true that that declaration was
formerly, perhaps first, made by Fred
erick the Great of Prussia, and that
from him it was carried to Russia and
suggested to the Russian empress by
France But Russia has always had
the popular credit of it, and it would
seem ungracious to try to rob her of
it. Rather is it profitable to recall
that in that famous declaration Russia
limited the list of contraband articles
to the items of arms and ammunition
and sulphur. Nay, more The 1mme-
date provocation of that act of Rus
sfa's was SPANS seizure of two Rus
sian vessels laden with foodstuffs!
1t would be a strange turn about for
Russia now to repudiate the principles
of her famous declaration Of neutral
rights and herself to approve and COM
NIT the very acts against which it
was a protest and a prohibition In
1870 she organized an armed neutral
| ity to uphold the principle that food
was not contraband of war. Can it be
that in 1904 she will set herself
against all the world by declaring it
is contraband of var? In century
and a quarter has the world, in her
opinion, relapsed SO far toward bar
barism?-New York Tribune.

To Kill a Snake.

Senator Lodge Is perfectly correct
in saying that the Massachusetts, reci-
procity movement is a covert scheme
to divide and weaken the Republican
party. The scheme is being engineered
with that purpose distinctly in view.
And it will succeed unless Republic
ans take it promptly by the neck and
shut on its wind. That is what the
Iowa Republicans did, with the result
that reciprocity squeaks are few and
far between in that fine Republican
commonwealth 1t will be found in

Two Facts.

The tariff reformers at various
times have been agitated by what
they call the copper trust. Finally
they discovered that copper ore is on
the free list and most of them ceased
to use this particular illustration,
though they still proclaim that the
tariff is the mother of trusts, thus
conveniently forgetting, of course,
that if this is true, then in this case
of the copper trust we have a crea-
ture that comes into the world with

vet in the Mckinley law and in the
