who have studied in America have car
ried back with them democratic ideae,
while those who have pursued their
studies in England have learned OF the
omnipotence of parliament and the value
Of public discussion. The paramount
political question in Japan today is
whether the ministry shall be chosen by
the emperor from among his personal
friends or reflect, a. in England and
most Of the other European countries,
the dominant sentiment in parliament.
A great deal depends upon tho decision
Of this question and there lie no doubt
that it will sooner or later be decided on
the side of parliament.
To understand the influence OF govern.
ment upon the progress Of a people it is
only necessary to consider what would
happen If the government of Japan
should adopt reactionary policy. If,
for instance, the emperor should issue a
decree abolishing the legislative body,
multiplying the constitution and asserting
the arbitrary power formerly exercised
in his name by the Shotgun, he would
have to support the decree with large
army. This would, to a great extent,
absorb the revenues now devoted to edu-
cation and to the care of unfortunates,
while by Encouraging the people it
would reduce their productive energy
and lessen the revenues of the govern
ment. As the resistance to the emper-
,Or's decree would be greatest among the
educated classes, he would feel that eelf-
preservation required the discouraging OF
public instruction. In other words,
while under free government the ten
dency is toward the elevation Of the PEG.
pie. under arbitrary government the
tendency is toward the degradation of
the people. If intellectual advancement
begins before the establishment of popu.
lar government it is sure to bring clash
between the sovereign and the people.
So sure is this conflict that those who
believe in the theory that governments
rest upon the consent OF the governed
can, by the encouragement OF education,
undermine the despotisms of the world.

SO grown in favor that a republican
president has won his greatest popularity
by the adoption OF the principles and
policies described in that platform. The

there is in nations vital part around

heart OF nations today is to be found in

MISTAKES OF 1896
SENATOR BAILEY'S Views NOT In
ACCORD With FACTS.
Democrats Did MOI Make Calamity
HOwlS, Neither Did They Make
POIitiCgl Mistakes in 1906 The
Platform of Democracy a Govern
ment By, OF and For the People.

In speech delivered at Austin, Texas,
Senator Bailey, as reported in the Hous-
ton Post, said:
1--WE made one mistake in 1896. did
not help to make it myself. 1 did not
make calamity campaign and hope
we will never have another one. Let US
make our campaigns on governmental
principles, because thus only can we full.
fill the expectations of the people. II
we make campaign upon the success of
the season, or the abundance of the
crops, then if the seasons fail or the
crops diminish we cannot fulfill the ex.
pectations of the people. Let us have
the courage and the intelligence to stand
and tell that all the government can do
to promote the prosperity of the people
is to make them just and wise and equal
laws. Let US pledge them that the dem.
ocratic party will do that and leave all
else of the salvation OF the people to
themselves"
If Senator Bailey doesn't make any
more mistakes than the democratic par
ty made in 1896 lie will have made a
fine record for sagacity. The Texas
senator's description Of the 1896 cam
paign is by no means fair. Indeed, it
sounds very much like republican
editorial.
The democrats did not make it "a
calamity" campaign; they did not make
it "a campaign upon the success or upon
the failure Of the seasons" They did
have the courage and the intelligence to
stand for the public interests and to
make clear and explicit pledges OF what
they would do In the event they were
entrusted with power.
The day has gone by when the splen'
did attitude taken and the good work
performed by the democratic party in
1896 can he estimated by sneer; and
in proof OF this we need but to cite the
we'll established fact that the radicalism
of 1896 has become the conservatism OF
1907; that the Chicago platform, de-
nounced and laughed at by many, has

DELIBERATE SUICIDE.
Why II Should Excite More Horror
Than Any Other Murder.

AS to its moral aspects, suicide Is
manifestly forbidden by the divine
law. One Of the commandments Of the
DecalOgue declares, "Thou shalt not
KILL" To make the law as compre-
hensive as possible 1t is not said,
Thou shalt not kill thy neighbor."
which qualifying phrase is employed
III some of the other commandments
as. for instance, "Thou shalt not bear
false witness against they neighbour"
"Thou Shalt not covet thy neighbours
house" The prohibition to kill is there
fore absolute. 1t forbids the taking of
human life. whether by suicide or
homicide.
There Is another commandment
which says, "Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as myself" Now, the love
which we owe to our neighbor forbids
us to Stay him, and therefore the love
which we owe to ourselves forbids us
to compass our own death. If the law
allowed us to kill ourselves, while for
bidding us to kill our neighbor, our
love for our neighbor would not be
equal, but superior, to our love for our
selves.
Nay. hold that suicide Is a more re-
voting sin than the killing Of another.
The closer the ties Of relationship be-
tween the murderer and his victim the
more atrocious Is the crime. In the
estimation of mankind, parricide. or
matriclde, or fratricide. or uxoricide. Is
more shocking criminal than an ordi-
nary homicide. And as man has
more intimate relations to himself
than to parent or brother or wife, his
deliberate self destruction should ex-
cite more horror than the murder Of q
parent, brother or wife.-Cardinal Glib
bOns in Century.

Sunday Morning Talk
Vacation Fruitage.

l noticed in religious pap the other
day an interesting symposium on vacation
joys The editor has asked a number Of
persons to pause in the midst OF their rest
ing and recreation and tell his readers what
was the very best thing they were getting
out Of their vacations. The replies showed
a wide variety of experience One was
acquiring a knowledge Of nature. another
was getting acquainted with his family, a
third was renewing old friendships and as
sociations; still another was reading some
of his favorite poets and essayists, while
several confessed that they were getting a
better understanding Of themselves and a
more intimate revelation of God.
This broadsids of personal testimonies
made one feel that the vacation period is
an exceedingly profitable season and that
to the man who enters upon 1t with some
appreciation Of its possibilities 1t yields all
sorts OF treasures. Indeed. If we could get
honest returns from the thousands OF per-
sons all over this land who are at this
moment off duty and disporting themselves
in the country or the wilderness or at the
beaches we should be surprised and graft
fled at the rich returns to personal life even
from a fortnight's laying aside Of the
harness.
What should we do indeed in the hurry
and drive Of modern life. II there were not
such times when we can take full and
whistles and bells. or bound down to the
interminable tasks and the dull routine.
when we rise when we Will and take
all the time we want in which to dress and
eat our breakfasts and follow our own
sweet will touching what we will do
throughout the day?
OF course 1t Is possible to abuse and mis-
use a vacation just as one may shirk his
duty and waste his chances during the
working period of the year. A friend Of

When Success Spells Failure.

From the Woman's Home Companion.
Business success for the woman does not
mean domestic or Individual happiness,
and. on the whole. business life makes for
restlessness, selfishness and discomfort You
cannot measure the influence of business on
the woman by figures or statistics. You
cannot count wrecked lives among woman
wage earners as you can tally off divorce
cases on court calendars. and trace them to
certain causes, such as incompatibility. de-
sertion, cruelty, etc. You cannot say that a
woman in business is failure or success
according to the salary she draws. You
cannot expect the trim, self-contained girl
at your elbow to admit that her perfectly
appointed little apartment, her perfectly
trained maid. her perfectly ordered life OF
dinners, clubs. theaters and opera parties
spell failure. She says she Is a success. In
her heart she knows that when the last
