the old barriers are down. Japan il be-
coming democratic"
But the democracy for which the
marquis labored, now looks upon the
leader as responsible for unfavorable
terms, holds him to account when the
government approves of a shameful
peace" He is head Of the privy coun-
Gil, and being close to the mikado
shares the odium cast upon the ruler.
The patriotism that made the Jap SOL
der a fearless and fearful fighter,
makes the Jap citizen, those that have
read along modern lines, learned of
democracy and citizens rights, some
thing other than meek and submissive.
The western civilization in a way has
gone to their heads. There has grown
up insubordination in the schools,
decay of manners, loss of the old rev.
erence with which the people generally
were imbued. The victory over the
Chinese has added to the nations SELF
confidence. Perhaps we may be per-
mitted, owing to personal acquaintance

Strike agitation promises to more

liberalization now has japan in its
grasp; there Is great industrial impe-

dlt1ons almost uncomfortable. To he
sure, In over-crowded Japan there has
long been miserable poverty, but now
there is realization of poverty's ex-
IRENE, knowledge that other laborers
do not have so hard a lot. And con-
sidering the slums of Toxic as con-
trasted with portions where luxury and
beauty prevail, Toxic may some day
be marked by scenes like those of the

significant that the only course open to
the cabinet is resignation" The Hachi
compares Japan's capital with the cap
ital of Russia and asserts that the
peace treaty was sole cause for the "sad
and shameful occurrences" Another
paper, the Manichi, cries: Heed the
voice of the nation. Heed the express
sion Of the nations desire. The ma
tons voice is full of anger" And it
boldly suggests that the anger might be
appeased by the resignation of the cab
met. The people, angered because the
government stands for progress and
concession in the interest of modern
civilization, rise against liberal views;
though it was liberal Japan that made
1t possible for them to rise.
1t is most difficult to get true pic

tive patriots are so wont to present an
idealized view, they ever paint coun-

small there, prices are low, everybody
is happy: that Japan has no saloons
and no strikes. In reading and listen
ing we build up a Japan of universal
liberty and Joy, government whose
machinery runs on the smoothest of
wheels. But writer in the Arena,

But perhaps we should admit that his
article bears the title Japan AS

Kiichi Kaneko tells us of strikes and
civil broils innumerahle, and tells us
that the so-called democracy is no true
democracy. (The gentleman is CORE
spOndent of paper in Toxic, and not
to be COMPOUNDED with Baron Kaneko,
personal representativ of the emperor
of Japan.) He tells us the Japanese
government system is "make-believe
system; it is not by the people, of the
people, for the people. 1t is the gov
eminent of the few, of mobiles, of the
titles, and above all, of the figurehead

that of Marquis Ito. which we shall
present later.
One of the Japanese papers, COM

CURED BY No-cLoTHEs.
Delicate Boy Now Able to Walk Bare
footed In Snow,

Gustave Nagel was a very delicate
child and grew to manhood almost a
chronic invalid. His parents had spent
fortunes en- medical attention for him,
and he had consumed barrels Of medl-
cine, but all to no effect,
Some years ago he conceived the
idea that modern man lived too far
from the state in which nature intend
ed that he should, and he resolved to
return to the habits of his primeVal
fcrefathers and become strong or die
in the attempt
He discarded all clothes. except
what the law required, ate only raw
foods and no meat, and bathed only In
water of natural temperature.
AT first Of course he suffered severe
ly, but in few years he was able to
walk barefooted in the snow with as
little discomfort as the ordinary NOR.
tai suffers going shoeless on sandy
beach in summer.
When he bathes he never dries him
self, when he sleeps he prefers the
cold, bare ground; he never has his
hair cut short, deeming It protection
from the weather given man, by ma.
ture; his food is of fruits, vegetables
bread and nuts.
Nagel Is about to be married. but
am not able to say whether the lady
