In the one province of Miyagi nearly
third of a million people are report
ed to be in want, but with view to
finding out the most distressed the vice
governor recently sent out blanks to be
filed by the soncho, giving details as
to the most destitute. 1t was found
that something over ten thousand peo-
pie required immediate help to prevent
them from starving.
Under such strains moral ties are
weakening. Even mothers are known
to leave their starving children never
to come back. Men desert their fam
| lilies in considerable numbers. But
among all this wide Indebtedness there
is a strong spirit of hope and helpful
ness on the part of the japanese them
selves.
Even the children have been pressed
into service to relieve the situation and
| little tots in some schools in the fam
Ire district have been taught to braid
straw and wood shavings, their finish
ed work being sent to Yokohama. A
second appeal has been made by the
committee to the generosity of foreign
ers resident in Japan and redoubled eff
| forts are being made to give assistance
before it is too late to do any good.
With all that is being done only the
surface has been touched as yet, and
the most pitiful aspect of the plight
of the people is the fact that so little
is really necessary to relieve all the
distress. individuals, corporations and

Japan is deeply touched by the express

estimate. The first official reports last
December stated that 100000 people
were in restitution, but, far from get

worse, and after careful investigations
1t has been found that at least 1,OO0,-
900 are reduced to the last extremity
The japanese are coming nobly to
the rescue of their suffering country
men, but with all their efforts only a
very small part of the suffering can be
reached. The government has project

day give employment to thousands of
poor people, and thousands of Japan

clared before election that no tainted

but the evidence shows he was great

that the administration organs before

what the Politicians Say.

The Republicans of Trego County
adopted a platform at their recent
convention which contained this and
nothing more: Resolved, That we
leave we'll enough alone" The Repub-
lican politicians of Trego must be part
of the political machine that runs Kan
sas in league with the trusts and COM
bines. but the voters have been kick
ing vigorously for reform. 1t Is only
the other day that the whole State was
ND in arms about the Standard OIL
trust and the unreasonable railroad
rates, yet these Republican politicians
resolve that I'VE leave well enough
alone" Yes, leave the trusts. the rail
roads. the life insurance companies and
all the public grafters alone. They pay
the Doodle to the campaign fund and
the Republican politicians of TregO
County handle their share of it, and
they of course desire to be let alone.
but the taxpayers and the shippers and
the policy holders are telling a differ
ent story Instead of leaving the graft
ers alone, they demand they shall be
put in stripes. All over the country
the Republican politicians want to be
let alone, but there seems to be a gen
eral determination to turn the rascals
