CRIME THE COrNTY

st. Louis County possesses some Republican Of
fcials whose seeming Indifference 10 conditions Of
crime which VIGOROUSLY flourish within their juris-
dction is unhapply reminiscent OF the Republican
era in this city. when Dfcialdom blindfoldcd itself
against the sight Of infarnies
With the Prosecuting Attorney and the Sheriff
tremendous responsibility lies. The gambling and
other growths of vice should he wiped out
and that speedily.
The eradication Of these evils would seem 10 he
simple matter. provided The county officials pos
sessed a fair amount Of vigor and determination.
Tnques,ionabiy the Republican population Of st.
Louis County aud the adjoining counties the
OF disrepufabe enterprises and i'm all prob
ability will voice this resentment politically when
their opportunity arrives. Defeat of the Republican
machine in ST. Louis County is virtually certainty
for November. while the Republican majority in ST
Charles County is more than likely be destroyed
Even Franklin County will suffer a Republican loss
while jefferson County's safe Democratic majority
is doubly insured II is uDquestioDable that the
politics Of the surrounding counties will be affected
by these local conditions of crime
The City OF st. Louis has Set example for the
counties In the regulation Of criminals during the
Worlds Fair period Precautions have been TO-
doubled: keenest vigilance and vigorous action
the rule with the authorities whose business il is
to prevent crime and control vice. For the sake Of
the Worlds Fair. and especially for the sake
Of the reputation Of Missouri whole. speedy
and effective action is demanded of the county Of
fcias. And IL these officials will not perform their
fullest duties with their fullest strength il becomes
case for State action. and the State such must
and will TO proven; the violation Of State laws.

JAPAN'S SPIRITUAL DEBT

or the admission that Christian doctrine never
has boomed in the Japanese garden. that the
flower which is regarded as the emblem of real
civilization has no, become practical ideal Nip
pom IL is possible TO construe many subtle doubts
as TO the benecence of religion. There are dubious
beneficares of modern advantages who probably
consider Japan to he fashioner of progress which
has foundation in belief. And there are ar-
preciative beneficiares who although being devout
Christians. firm in the faith and strict about their
Iconpliance with the moral laws. will wonder within
themselves whether there is not among the
risen nations which aourishes under different
Hight.
Concerning Japan il is said that religion as a
faith fascinaes the people, much fairy tales do
but does not impress them being divine truth
They think religion to be useful and ennobling at
fectng the soul or the mind through the imagina-
ton but that it il possible to have upright nation
and yet to make distinctions between belief and
practice II the observations of travellers are
rect. Japan takes aliens view Of Christianity.
Japan would acquire the blessings Of Christianity.
but without faith in Christian teachings.

Christianity might to exempt Japan from any
obligations to modern civilization. They might dis
turb the conviction of honest believers and confirm
the doubts of honest. as well as dishonest disbe-
lievers. Were Japan's progress Of unchristian
origin or causation. there would be exception
the generally recognized law that religion Is an
essential of civilization.
But Japan's progress is due almost entirely to
the influence Of Christianity. The inspirations
which have elevated the nation have been derived
from without. Japan's renaecence Is a direct result
of American and European civilization. Japan has
