japanese Marriage Laws.

Japanese Marriage Laws
Although Japan has revealed ner-
self as highly enlightened in so many
spheres OF civilization, she has not
yet applied reformatory principles to
the institution of marriage.
There is as yet no such thing In
Japan as equality between sexes. The
law relating to marriage recognizes
no wrongs except on the part Of the
wife, from whom the husband may OBJ
tain a divorce by merely asserting
that he is tired of her, or upon any
Of the following grounds:
Disobedience, adultery, barrenness,
jealously, physical antipathy, talka-
tiveness or theft.
When a girl is about to marry, her
mother impresses upon her various
rules of conduct to be followed during
her welded life. Some OF these are:
BE always amiable to your moth
er-in-law and father-in-law.
Don't talk much.
Get up early, go to bed late, and
never sleep in the afternoon.
Until you are fifty, never mix IN
crowds.
do not consult fortune tellers.
"Do rot wear light clothes.
BE humble and polite.
Never allow yourself to be jealous.
Even if your husband is in the
wrong never get angry.
Never speak evil of your neigh
bors.
Strict obedience to a husband is
a wife's noblest virtue."-Harper's
Weekly.

influence against the farmers. This
was the more aggravating because he
represented one of the best farming
districts in the state OF New YORK.
The farmers largely predominant and
cast an overwhelming majority OF the
votes. When the bill to regulate the
sale of oleomargarine was up in con-
gress, Wadsworth did everything in
his power to defeat it, Notwithstanding
the entreaties and petitions OF his
farmer constituents. He has reso-
lutely set himself against a parcel
post that is demanded by ninety per
cent of all the farmers in the country.
He set himself against the Beveraldge
amendment to the agricultural ap-
preparation bill which provided a thor
ough inspection of meat products. He
got his committee together and had
a substitute drawn up which so favor
ed the packers that President Roose-
welt wrote Wadsworth, saying: "The
more closely I investigate your pro-
posed substitute the worse l find it.
Almost every change is one for the
worse. This strikes me as an amend
rnent which, no matter how unlnten-
tionally, is framed SO as to minimize
the chance of roofing out the evil in
the packing business" Much more
along this line the president wrote.
Wadsworth replied and thinking, per-
haps, that he could squelch the pres1-
dent with his pen, gave his letter to
the press. Some one has said that
Wadsworth wanted to know if the
buzz-saw was in motion and found
that it was. The president replied by
saying: 81 wish to repeat that II

remedying of the evils complained OF,

ion which the friends of the packers
and the packers themselves would
have provided. | care not a whit for
the language of the amendment. What
| am concerned with is to have it &C
complish a thorough and rigid, not
sham, Inspection
Our readers doubtless know that
the president and the Beverage
amendment won out and Wadsworth
had to back down. Notwithstanding
all this, Wadsworth so manipulated
matters that he was renominated. The
farmers of his district felt so out
ragged by his course that they deter
mined to stand the matter no longer.
The Rural New-Yorker, one of the
best farm papers in the world, took
up the fight against Wadsworth, not
on political grounds, mark you, but In
the interests of the farmers whom
Wadsworth had SO persiStently mis-

BANKERS WANT SOUND INSURANCE.

The movement OF the bankers OF California,
Washington, Oregon and other States to compel
,nortgagors to transfer their insurance TO dollar
for dollar companies will have powerful infiu-
ence toward strengthening out the San francisco
insurance tangle. Insurance companies that are
able TO pay will think long before running counter
10 the large lenders OF money the most powerful
single group OF interests concerned with sound IN
surance.
The action of the bankers shows too thas large
financial interests recognize the weakness OF the
prevailing methods OF placing insurance and see the
necessity OF establishing ii a safe, sane business
basis. The San Francisco fire showed the public
the unreliabilitv OF fire insurance as it has been
conducted and it would SEEM the lenders OF money
are determined to profit by the lesson.
In order that business may be carried as in
the past insurance must be made unquestionably
secure Under modern business practices lnsur-
ance has become commercial necessity. Loans
are made with stocks OF goods and improved real
estate as security. which would be impossible il
the property were not secured against fire loss.
Thus merchants and property owners have been
able to borrow the necessary funds to carry their
undertakings Withdraw their credit and their
enterprises would sink swiftly into failure.
But unless the insurance be sound. unless the
insurng company be prepared and willing to pay
losses the property might just as well not be IN
sured. For their own protection the banks and
other lenders of money must insist that none but
sound and wng-to-pay companies shall be patron
ized In other words. the mortgages, representing
the best business OF the country. are longer to
accept insurance bndly; they are forced TO insist
that it be sound The enforcement OF such policy
means an overhauling OF the entire field OF insur-
ance with searching and rigorous elimination OF
the wildcat insurance ventures that in emergencies
either can't pay wont pay.

THE LESSON OF DEPEW.

Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew, broken in health
and spirits, repudated by former friends and found
out by the public, stricken, ptiabe figure, lies a
nervous wreck III an obscure santarium, hidden
away among New York hills. In the unhappy old
man few would recognize the once snirking jester
OF the rich, whose jokes were as famous as they
were bad. Senator Depew had part to play in
the political history OF his State and his country
He PLAYED it we'll. 1t was that of lackey for
large financial and industrial interests. He fetched
and carried in New York for his masters, and he
fetched and carried at Washington.
His position was well recognized by those whom
he served. 4 do not see why should receive
Senator Depew, the wife OF one OF the Vanderbilts
is reported to have said to her husband You do
not expect OF me that entertain your butler"
Such was Chauncey Depew in the world that
he served. In the glare of publicity given him that
he might the better serve his masters, he appeared
t. the public light jester behind whose jests
lGrked much ability and knd-heartedness, man
whose many good qualities covered up multitude
OF sins. But his good qualities were few And the
mask OF his smile hid the hurt OF many slight
and many sting that the ill-disguised contempt
of those whose livery he wore put upon him.
The day of his unmasking long delayed, but
now it has come and Chauncey Depew stands out
before the world he is, sad old man and friend
less, abandoned even by those in whose service he
was content to play the mean actor, to stfe his
better nature and to labor against his country S
