SPRINGS OF KUSATSU.
DIR. EDWARDS WRITES OF THE FAMOUS
HEALING SPRINGS.
The Leper Village and Treatment Of Lepers
All OF Whom are Banished to This
Place Immediately Upon the Dis.
covery Of the Disease.

Kusatsu, Jan, Dec. 1S:-The fame
of the mineral srings OF Kusatsu is so
great that have taken a Journey up
here to see if they are as wonderful as
reported. These intensely hot springs
have been famous all over Japan for
more than thousand years, and mar
velous cures of rheumatism are re-
ported The Japanese are specially
subject to rheumatism, and there are
thousands of men and women in the
country who are so crippled from it
that they cannot walk. The springs
cure also skin diseases and equity
troubles, as well as being especially
efficacious in early stages of leprosy.
There is proverb in Japan that the
springs of Kusatsu cure all diseases
except love-" There is leper village
a short distance from the village.
OF all the sad. breaking sights
it would be difficult to picture any
thing worse than this leper village.
Visitors are not permitted in this
village but owing to the fact that
am medical man the physician in
charge extended to me the courtesy of
a tour of inspection. The village has
it's rows of shops, inns, dwellings and
bath houses, and, so far as exterior
appearances go, is no different than
hundreds of villages in Japan. But
every inhabitant is afflicted with
leprosy and were | to relate some of
the shocking sights / witnessed there.
/ am sure they would be too revolving
for your readers. In many cases the
disease can be detected in the fingers
and toes but on every face there is a
heavy, hopeless look They all seem
as lifeless rs if their faces were
carved out of wood.
These people take the baths at a
frightfully high temperature and
many of them, in addition to the
baths, undergo "a course of burning by
moxa. Tiny cones of wood, some
times numbering mp into the
thousands, are applied to affected
parts of the body and iSnited, thus
repeatedly cauterizing the skin. In
one of the houses we entered dozen
or more of the inhabitants were heroi-
cally undergoing the application OF.
these burning cones. The operator
was woman of about 30 years. who
told me she had come here ten years
ago, afflicted with leprosy, but that
she was completely cured. On her
face, neck and arms could be seen
thousands of scars left by the burning
of the moxa.
On our return trip we met an in
telligent Janese medical student.
who had much of interest to tell me
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1907-12-25

Nine hundred and thirty eight in.
dictments were returned at Kansas
City Friday by the grand jury, prin.
cipally for violation of the Sunday
closing law. OF this number sixty
five were against the managers and
employees of theatres for specific viola
tion of the law on Sunday: several
hundred were against pool hall and
cigar store owners, and twenty
against negroes for selling or bootleg
ging whiskey on Sunday. In the two
months this grand jury has been in
session it has returned total of 2, OBS
indictments, over six hundred OF
which have been against actresses and
theatrical managers and attaches.
This all is result of the Sunday
closing crusade started by Judge Will
liam H. Wallace of the criminal court.

hoped for the appointment to succeed
Senator Gear. and he never forgave
Gov. Shaw. He became candidate
fer third term as governor, against
the tradition of the party. to main
tain his advantage in the struggle.
As to this the state has never had such
example in standpatism. Everything
was subordinate to the one ambi ion
to reach the senate. That was the
controlling factor with him in 1901,
as declared by his friends. That was
the controlling factor with him in
the campaign of 1906. He has not
denied it. HIS word to the contrary
would not carry conviction.
He did mot expect ever to oppose
Senator Allison. He chung to the
hope that it would be unnecessary.
The thought fingered in his mind
when he laid down rules, Sept. goth
last, for the primary appointed under
the law for next June. He promised,
in the event Vt his defeat in the prI-
mary, mot to be a candidate against"
his opponent. Senator Allison, the
day following, promised in the event
of his defeat to withdraw his name
from further consideration as can
didate. 1t was in the Cummins
mind that Allison, though defeating
him in the primary, might not be
availabla as candidate before the
legislature, and he left the door open
for himself in such unhappy contin-
gency.
The governor does not say in his
statements recently published that in
1906 he was not an aspirant for the
senate. He leaves it to friends to say
that. He was not candidate in 1906
before the people for any other Office
than that of governor. Senator Ali
son in that year was not candidate
before the people for any office. But
Cummins in his mind was as much
he is in 1907 He was understood to
pledge that he would not be candi-
date for Senator A!lison's place. He
wrote TO Maj Torbert 81 am not
candidate for Senator Allison's
place. " Maj. Torbert acted in good
faith. The governor has violated
faith.
The governor only has year more
to serve in his present office The
Allison term will expire March 3,
1909 The governor prayed last Sep
TENDER TO- the senator's SPEEDY
restoration to perfect health, and for
his long continuance in the public
service. The petition was not from
his heart. He dealt with the great
white throne as he dealt with his Du-
buque "admirer and warm sup
porter
In the voice OF one willing to be
offered up as martyr he says: 1.-THE
outcome is with the people -
If the people of Iowa are both in
telligent and sincere, they will not
offer bride to deception and insin-
certify. The governor has been elo-
quent in assertion of trust in the peo-
pie He has been steadfast in Deepen
dence upon his art in playing the
tricks of the game
Albert B. Cummins was candidate
in 1906 for the senate. He was to that
extent a candidate that the writing
in his behalf in May was the cause of
no surprise among either his friends
or opponents who had carefully fol-
lowed the play. II he promised any
thing in 1906 he promised he would
not be a candidate for Senator ALI
sons place. On the strength of that
promise he won his nomination and
the election of that year. Sioux City

The Opinionless Man.

The Scriptures say that the double
minded man is unstable in all his ways.
But the doubleminded man. is. perhaps
an Improvement over the excuse of an
individual who has no mind of his own
at all. A lot of fellows are mere
tigureheads, absolute nonentities. They
count for nothing in the community
and were they to pass off the stage of
action only very few of their most
intimate friends would know of their
departure. This harmless individual
simply lives because the Creator is kind
enough. to furnish him air to breathe,
but he does next to nothing for the i'm
provement or betterment of the time in
which he lives. In business, the opin-
nless man is drawback to enterprise;
in politics he can never be counted on
by either side and is held in contempt
by the men whose business it is to make
an estimate of where the voters stand
In any walk of life the man who exists
rather than lives is little short of a det-
rlment Ito advancement along all lines.
But we have several of that kind and
we do not know that any amount of
preaching" will cause one of them to
wake up and stand for something.
