by that autocratic body, the Royal Col

JAPAN'S CONSTITUTION.

Important Difference Between 1t and
Constitutions of Western Nations.
There is an important difference be-
tween the constitutions of western ma
tons and that of Japan. The former
are the outcome of popular uprisings
against the tyranny of rulers-in other
words, of a demand, as of natural
right, by the people. Consequently,
even in monarchical Europe, constitu-
tons are drawn in such terms as to lay
the greatest stress upon popular rights,
while, at the same time, curtailing the
power of the sovereign. The japanese
constitution, on the other hand, ema-
mated from the Emperor, the fountain
head of all power. Before the people
dl canned of popular rights or of a par
lament the Emperor had already
marked out the grand policy of estab-
nshlng constitutional government in
the future, because of his evident de-
sire and purpose to elevate the coun-
try to an equal place among the civil
lied nations of the world not only be-
cause he wished it, but also because
that course was in strict accordance
with the national policy bequeathed by
his imperial ancestors. Following that
policy, our constitution was drawn up
with close adherence to and careful
preservation of the fundamental prin-
ciple Of the imperial government from
time immemorial.
In form, however, it is similar to
western constitutions, with this differ
ence, that the text of our constitutions
contains only the fundamental princi-
pies of State, namely, the prerogatives
OF the Emperor; the rights and duties
OF the people; the powers of Parlia-
nent; the powers and duties of minis
tiers of state and judiciary and finance
These are all embodied in seventy six
articles. Matters of detail, such, for
example, as provisions relating to the
rules and proceedings of Parliament
the laws for the election of members
the national budget ETC., are separated
from articles enunciating Fundamental
principles, and are embodied in laws
supplementary to the constitution anC
enacted at the same time.-Baror

of Japan" in the Century.

as the great steam eXcavator shown in
the illustration performs in eight
hours. The burning sun or rain in tor
rents has no terrors for this mammoth
earth-devouring monster. The scene
is from a photograph of the construc-
ton work on the irrigation canal in
Colusa County, California. The arti-
fetal river thus created is six miles
long, 100 feet wide, and 80 feet to the
top of its banks. The Sacramento riv-
er furnishes the water which makes
fertile 10000 acres of fruit ranches.
The eXcavator travels on its own
railway tracks on each side Of the
canal, and as the work proceeds the
track is taken up and relaid ahead
of the machine.
The steel buckets, which have sharp,
cutting edges, move constantly by
means of endless chains, and empty
their load of earth first on one side,
then on the other. Wide endless belts
carried on rollers carry the earth to
the sides of the ditch.
All these movements of the machine
are controlled by one leverman, who
may be seen in the cut standing on
the platform on the left of the bucket.
He has control of five separate levers,
one for raising and lowering the buck
ct chain, one for moving the car to
the right, and another for moving the
car to the left, and another for moving
it forward on the side track, and the
fifth controls the engine. The rapid
ty and facility with which all these
movements are made is surprising, es-
pecially considering the momentum
and immense weight of the car and
bridge and the excavator's machinery,
which is about 300 tons.

NEWSBOYS DETECTIVES.
Watchful of the Conduct of Street Lads
Under Their Auspices.

1t is sad day when a member of
the Toledo Newsboys' Association goes
wrong, and it is especially sad for the
boy. The detective work under the
system adopted by the associate is so
thorough that the wrongdoer is quick
ly brought to cover.
A few of the new members of the
association are inclined to follow the
methods adopted by some men of get
ting rich in hurry, and when quar-
ter or more is given, the boy is at
times tempted to run away, little real
izing that it is next to impossible to
hide his theft. Happily, however, such
cases are rare and it is seldom a car
rier goes wrong.
A few days ago a lady on Adams
street gave carrier a new dollar bill
for two weeks delivery of local pa
per- The youngster, a boy of -, took
the money to get change, and did not
return. The case was at once brought
to the attention of Mr.. Gunckel. The
name of the boy could not be given,
but the style of his hat and color of
necktie and shirt was sufficient de-
scription for the watchful eyes of the
officers of the association who were set
to work on the case.
The Executive Committee was noti-
fed, and in three days the boy was
found. He was told that he must go
to the woman, apologize for what he
had done and pay her what he owed
her. 1t was a bitter dose. but it had
to be swallowed. After it was all over
the little fellow said 81 am glad now
l went to the lady and Strengthened it
all up. for the stealing of that dollar
worried me so 1 couldn't sleep. l will
never again be dishonest"
The boy is a bright lad, and the
temptation to take what did not be-
long to him grew out of evil associa-
ton, as he said when charged with
the theft that "other boys did it."
Mr.. Gunckel is determined to break
up this bad habit and is being backed
by the officers of the association and
the large per cent of the members who
realize that such an act brings dis
grace to the association. - Toledo

with England was discussed as the
only means by which the evil Of for
eign Intervention on the western hemi-
sphere might be averted. 1t was one
of the most critical times in the his
tory of the republic.
The President, James Monroe, was
a man who had been distinguished for
qualities other than those of pugna-
cious opposition to the European pow
ers. Yet it was James Monroe who I'M
eXpectedly came forward with the
very proclamation that convinced those
powers of the dangers of interference.
In his message TO Congress in that year
occurs the sentence which has become
part of our national policy under the
name of the Monroe doctrine.
1--WE owe it to candor, and to the
amicable relations existing between
the United States and those powers"
(the powers in question were those of
the holy alliance) Ito declare that we
should consider any attempt on their
part to extend their system to any por-
ton of this hemisphere as dangerous
to our peace and safety"
The boldness and earnestness of this
document and its opportune promulga-
ton marked the vigorous commence
ment of national life and the develop
ment of clearly defined foreign pol
icy. 1t was the death blow of the holy
alliance. 1t has become a national ira
dition that has brought untold aid to
this country. And all because James
Monroe was not found wanting when
the time came when his country most
needed his courage.

Mr.. Paul Thieman, whoever he may
be, says something in recent issue of
a Denver paper which is pat and to the
point. We herewith produce the first
few paragraphs of his article:
When one beholds the complacent
failure to comprehend the nature and
condition of Far Western irrigation, it
is maddening. l have seen one man,
who is thoroughly posted, almost break
into wild tears of rage over the ever
recurring evidences that the people at
large, the people right here, the ma
tional government, the State govern
ments, do not appreciate national irri-
cation, and that the public informa-
ton and the individual knowledge of
the subject at this time are strangely
dense. The public is fed constantly
with lovely articles about the grand
national irrigation works under way,
while the fact is that all the great
values mentioned concerning reclama-
ton Of the arid region are the result of
private initiative and enterprise and
capital.
CIV DtOlJlt llidl llt
tional irrigation fund is nothing but a
bulk of capital which may be advanced
to build reservoirs and bitches, upon a
guarantee that the owners Of the lands
tc be irrigated will repay the cost to
the fund. The national fund is not to
be depleted, but must be replenished
/ by the payment back of the cost of the
work, as assessed by the government
engineers, and if signatures to such
pledges can't be secured, the works
proposed will not be built
Knowing that all government work
costs vastly more than if done by pri
vate capital, and the United States
failing to guarantee the limit Of the
cost, lots of landowners won't sign
and there you are. Meantime the gov
eminent officials knock private enter
prises and warn the people agains
them, when, as the situation stands
it is only private enterprise, in pro
noting irrigation district bonds, in Col
orado, at least, that is really doing any
thing.
