rudely matched roofs which one sees
today at Ise are in all points identical
with the primitive hut shrines in which
the Japanese Worshipped before the
beginning of the Christian era. The
solemn avenues of ancient cryptic
merias. which lead up to the shrines
through long stretches of gloom, deepen
this impression of great antiquity.
Here it was that the present Mi
kado returned thanks for the victorious
ending of Japan's greatest war. On
that day. November H. the wheels of
government and of business were stop
ped and the entire empire reverently
observed the event.
What the Japanese themselves
thought of the occasion may best be
seen from the editorial comments of the
time Passing by the intensely loyal
remarks of the pro-Government KO-
kumin. we find the following in two
of the leading independent journals.
The Nichinichi said:
The present imperial visit to the
Great Shine. when viewed in parallel
with the numerous rescripts in which
his Majesty has attributed the vic
tories of the imperial hosts to the viz
tues of his ancestors and to the efforts
of his people. make clear how truly
and boundless1y the Emperor is de-
voted to the living spirits Of his fore
fathers and how deeply he loves his
subjects In other words the Emperor
aspires to be the embodiment and liv-
ing example of universal humanity,
iIial Diety and humility.
The Asahi said:
We modern japanese are 1uckier
than all our forefathers, in living to
see so grand an event as the present
imperial pilgrimage to Use, as the like
of it. with all the glories it implies has
never before occurred in the history
of the empire. Our present Emperor is
the rejuvenator of Japan and has given
her a new history. Furthermore, his
Majesty intends no doubt TO renew in
US the spirit Of traditional faith and
worship. as this his fourth visit to the
Great Shrine clearly indicates.
The Japan Times, in referring to the
projected pflgrimages of the Empress
and the Crown Prince, remarked that

TO HONOR
ST, PATRICK
All lrishmen Will Be
Asked to Unite i'm
Celebration.

4 strong effort will be made to get
all the Irishmen and women in Homo
lulu to unite this year in proper cele-
bration of the anniversary of the
birth of st. Patrick. The Irish have
gone rather apart in this matter in
past wears. which was perhaps a mani
festation of a perfectly well under
stood characteristic of the lovable
race, and yet it would seem that this
soft and equable climate would draw
even the fight out of an Irishman.
Anyway, there are Irishmen who be
lieve that celebration can be ar
ranged in which all Irishmen in Homo
lulu will agree to take part. To that
end, the Ancient Order of Hibernians
and the Ladies' Auxiliary have sent
out a joint invitation to all Irishmen
and Irishwomen in the city requesting
their presence at a meeting, TO be held
at clock on Sunday evening, at Mis-
sion Hall, to perfect arrangements for
the proper observance of the great
Irish holiday
81 think we can get them all to-
gether,' said Mr. Creedon yesterday.
1--WE want to make this celebration a
memorable one in the history of the
Islands, and the desire is to have all
men and women of Irish blood take
part in it.
There is understood to be plan on
foot to get some Irishman of note from
the mainland to come down and act as
the orator on the occasion, although
this is as yet somewhat nebulous. At
all events. the men who have the mat
ter in hand so far are gravely in ear
nest and if the Irishmen do pull all to-
gether, as there should be no difficulty
in doing, the memory of the good pat
ron saint of the Green Island will be
fttingly honored and the sons and
daughters of the race that rules the
American world can have an opportun-
ity to meet and know each other bet
ter-all of them.

was high and against the friendless de-
fendant. On the trial Lincoln drew from
the witnesses full statements of what
they saw and knew. There was no effort
to confuse, no attempt to place before
the jury the facts other than they were.
In the argument. after calling attention
to the fact that there was no direct tes-
fimony, Lincoln reviewed the circurn-
stances. n after coaceding that this and
