TOXIC, Feb. 24.-The greatest
events in the ordinary life of Japan
csc are birth, marriage and death,
each being celebrated with Formally.
Eggs are common but honorable pres
ents ou such occasions. In addition 10
$50 eggs, the first American child born
in Mito was favored with numerous
other gifts.
New Year day is celebrated as the
national birthday and the individual
birthdays are not specially observed.
The wedding ceremony is simple. The
feature is the three-three-ni times.
Bride and groom drink three times out
of three cups of different sizes. This
is a social sidelight on the wedding
ceremony, and corresponds with the
western wedding reception. Marriage
is civil contract only, and its legal
ity rests in the registration. As this
is often omitted, divorces are easy and
and frequent, which is a handy thing
in a land where there are 6O0 900 more
men than women.
The Jap is a fatalist and death has
no terrors for him. Funeral ceremonies
are expensive and elaborate. The
Shinto rites are palmer than the Bud
hist. In the former the collins re-
semble those of the occident, but in
the later the coffin is small and
square so that the corpse is placed in
asitting position, the head bent down

MR.. DAVIS FIGURES.
A Few Samples Showing Their Amaz'
ing Inaccnracy.

Assurance, without pronounced gulle,
marks the acceptance letter of Hon.
Henry G. Davis, the octogenarian can
didate of the Democrats for the Vice
Presidency. He expresses his opinions
on political conditions as if they were
original with him, as if he were not a
human monograph with single cylin-
der that has caught the echo Of Judge
Parker's echo of the Democratic stunt of
oratory. 'The times are propitious for
the reinstatement of the Democratic par
ty in control of the government" is the
assertiye way Mr.. Davis begins his po-
litical sermon. The November ballots
will be all 'amens'' to that.
Who but the Democrats will agree
with him? "When the present admins
tration went into power there was a large
surplus" he declares. Heimagined that.
The Republicans came into power i'll
1897. Is that the meaning of his pres
ent administration p If so, and he means
surplus Of revenue over ordinary ex-
penditures, he is in error. Mr.. Cleve-
lands closing year of his last term
showed EXCESS OF EXPENDI-
TUkES OVER REVENUE to the
amount of $1S,O52, 254. The surplus was
the wrong way. The statistics were east
ly obtainable; why should Mr.. Davis
make such a misstatement? If he meant
Mr.. Roosevelt's term, beginning in 1900
with Mr.. Mckinley, there was an eX'
cess in that year of revenue over eXpendi-
lures amounting to $79, 527 ,06O. There
fore he is wrong again. In extenuation
it may be said that the Democrats never
were good nor correct fgurers. AS, for
instance, again, when he asserts that the
revenues for the last fiscal year were
over 100000 short of the expendi
lures. He must have been guessing
again, not having authenticated figures
In 1908 the excess of revenue over ex.
penditures was over $52,0OO,00O. The
absurdity of Mr.. Davis computations
and comparisons could not be more forci
bly, shown than when he quotes statistics
to show the cost of running The govern
ment and the army under the Buchanan
regime from 1857 to 1860, when the pop
ulation was 31,21S,021, and puts it, as
an evidence of his party's economy, il
contrast with our S0,000,000 population
of to-day, into the estimate of the lat
ter, dumping pension accounts, Panama
canal purchase and every outlay caused
by vast public improvements created anC
| carried on solely for the benefit of thu
people The age of Mr.. Davis precludes
his compiling such figures himself; but
his anxiety for his party's success leads
him to issue them without the common
est revision as to their correctness, OF
using his judgment as to their application
to the matter he is discussing.

I want to say a word to the young men
whose political life is beginning:
Anyone entering business would be
glad of the chance to become one of an
esta blished firm with years Of success
behind it.
Everything great done by this country
in the last fifty years has been done
under the auspices of the Repubhcan
party. Is not this a priceless asset?
Lincoln and Grant Hayes and Gar
field, Harrison and McKinley-names Sc
cure in the heaven of fame-they are all
gone, leaving small estates in worldly
goods, but what vast possessions in plln-
ciples, memories, sacred associations! 1t
is start i'll life to share that wealth.
In our form of government there must
be two parties.
But what young man would not rather
belong to the party that does things,
instead of one that opposes them; to the
party that looks up, rather than down; to
the party Of the dawn, rather than of the
sunset?
For fifty years the Republican party
has believed in the country and labored
for it i'll hope and JOY;
Has reverenced the flag and fol
lowed it;
Has carried it under strange skies and
planted it on far-receding horizons;
Has seen the nation grow greater
every year and more respected;
Has seen the country extend its inter
course and it's influence to regions I'M
known to our fathers;
Yet it has never abated one jot or title
of the ancient law imposed on us by God
fearing ancestors. The Constitution of
our fathers has been the light to our
feet. Our path is, and will ever remain,
that of ordered progress, of liberty under
| the law.
But we are not daunted by progress.
We are not afraid of the light!
The fabric our fathers builded will
| stand all shocks of fate or fortune.
| While there will always be a proud
pleasure in looking back on the history
they have made, the coming generation
has the right to anticipate work not less
| important.
We who are passing off the stage bid
you, as the children of Israel encampinG
| by the sea were hidden, to go forward
| We whose hands can no longer hold the
| flaming torch pass it on to you, that
| it's clear light may show the truth to
| the ages that are to come.

SHAMEFUL CARTOONS.
Reproach and Ridicuic for the Soldier

and His Uniform.
The campaign caricaturists of Presi-
dent Roosevelt have succeeded III arous-
ing enough interest to bring out the gues-
ton: Is it disgraceful to fight for ones

II is amazing to see the uniform OF

1t was once thought to be an h0nora-
Bile thing for man to resign position,
ease, family, independence, friends and
home. and become a fighting machine to
help uphold the honor and the word or
his country.
There seems to have grown up dft'
ferent view Of this matter. The earnest
sacrifice of an American soldier IS held
by some to be an affair to picture IN
such a manner as to arouse contempt and
vulgar smokers in the crowd. The de-
voted soldier facing death for his coUn-
fry is. with these nameess miscreantS,
sight to be guffawed over, something TO
he distorted into q laugh-raising cartoon.
To the laughing hyenas of the yellow
press the stainless sword of Washington

stern devotion of a soldiers experience
is farcicai episode in a mans career,
something to be distorted into thing to
be jeered at.

The yellow rendering is:

ULOUS TO FIGHT FOR ONES

Roosevelt and his party are of the
same mind, but Parker and his party are
of many contradictory minds. The Re
publican party never has had factions
within itself concerning issues. 1t has
been unanimous in knowing what it stood
for. The Democratic party has never
agreed upon anything. but abounds in
schisms, factions and cliques. They are
not united to-day, and have not been
united since the civil war. In 1864 their
convention declared. in its platform, that

to send to the discordant, temporizing

famous gold telegram. Mr.. Parker voted
for Mr. Bryan in 1896 and 1900, although
he did not like Bryan, and says now that
he did not believe in free silver In 1900
the gold Democrats swung back into line
behind Bryan and free silver. Like Hill,
they said, I am a Democrat and that
was enough. They did not agree with
the issue, but said, Never mind the is
