DESPITE her leap to the front rank OF
nations Japan will be forced TO occupy
a very humble place IN the usual dipio-
matte pageants at the Capital this win
ter
This is due to the fact that Mr.. Taxa
hira, the japanese minister. will proba-
bly, be away for the greater part of the
season on a vacation which he has long
needed for his health. and the legation
in Washington will have no higher rank
than can attach 10 II with a first secre-
tary in charge.
There has been much talk about the
Washington post being raised TO the
rank of embassy and Minister Taxa
hira promoted 10 highest powers. AS yet
the Japanese government has not signi-
fed its intention OF taking such step.
1t is believed that the proposed
change. which will mean an entire reor-
ganization of the Japanese foreign serv-
ice. will be postponed until japan has
had chance TO recuperate from the
tremendous financial drain OF the war.
Means Big Expense
The pay Of the ambassador from Japan
could not be less than $1,000. which Is
the pay of American ENJOYS of this
country. and this, provided the mis-
sions at London Paris, st. Petersburg.
Rome and Berlin are raised. would en-
tail considerable additional expense 10
the japanese government.
Eventually the change Will undoGbt-
edly be made. Baron Komura, the min
lister of foreign affairs, who was one OF
the Japanese ENJOYS at Portsmouth, be-
came impressed with the need for such
action while in this country. and, IL is
said will recommend to his countrymen
upon his return that the japanese for
eign service be placed on proper foot
ing with the rest OF the world.
The raising in rank of the mission
here would. OF course, mean that the
United States would have TO take a
similar step in her representation a.
Tokyo. This post. which heretofore has
been held by an envoy with ministerial
rank, would be elevated TO that of en-
bassy. There Is every likelihood of Mr.
Griscom retaining ii with the additional
powers.
The present conditions are such that

Raising Campaign Funds.

Yes, / believe i ought TO say, now
that there is no political excitement to
distract public attention, that the pres
ident of the New York Life was not
the only such contributor. The officers
OF other great life insurance companies.
such as the Equitable and the Mutual,
also contributed of the policyhoiders'
funds for campaign purposes last year.
What has been proved in the case Of
the Ne= York Life will undoubtedly
be proved in the other cases. The facts
exist, and honest and able counsel. back
ed by an honest committee, will un-
doubtedly bring them out for the public
good.
Were there an investigation of rail-
road, manufacturing and other corpora
tions. II would be found that these life
insurance Officers were not the only ccr-
poration officers who put their hands
into the Il treasury and took out moneys
belonging o widows and orphans 10 help
secure a partisan triumph.
THAT their acts were unla wful and
their purposes corrupt. goes without
saying. They intended TO have the
money used. as II was. i'm corrupting the
electorate. Fir. Perkins makes the point
that John A Mccall, the president of
the New York Life, is a Democrat.
John Mccall Scored.
Apparently he would have the public
assume shat when Mr.. Mccall unlaw-
fully and wrongfully contributed these
funds--thc company's share proba bly, as

rather than misconduct
Tho truth about IL is. and / say Il
