The man who really believes in
COD can build his optimism only
upon those great conservative forces
OF society which are mightier than
wealth, more protective than navies

Let US thank God for the living voices

GRAY Hairs In Mall Street.

cit seemed to me down in New York
the other day." remarked a Cleveland
er who had just returned from the me-
tropolis, chat one might almost rec
ognize Wall street and the financial
region by the number Of gray haired
young men you see. l had occasion to
be in several offices on Wall street the
other day, and l honestly believe more
than half of the young men l saw had
gray hair. 1 noticed the same thing
along the street. 1t may have been
just a coincidence, but l couldn't help
wondering if they would have been
gray just as soon if they had been at
some other game for the last few
years. "-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

MOUNT FUJIYAMA.
Japanese Pilgrimage to Its Tempest
Swept Summit.

Swept Summit.
To the people of Japan the mount
Fujiyama is sacred. The meaning of
the word is honorable mountain"
During that brief six weeks of summer
when Fujiyama's wind swept sides are
climbable. writes A. II. Edwards III
"Kakemono," the pilgrims come in
thousands in ten thousands. They
dress themselves in white from head
to foot They carry long slaves of
pure white wood in their hands, each
stamped with the temple crest, and in
bands and companies they climb the
mountain.
Always the leader at their head, his
staff crowned with a tinkling mass of
bells, like tiny cymhals, chants the
hymn of Fujiyama. For six short
summer weeks they come. Then the
winds rush down, the snow falls, the
tempests rage, and Lord Fujiyama lives
alone
No human being has yet stayed
winter on his summit, and even in the
summer weeks the winds will blow the
lava blocks from the walls of the rest
houses and sometimes the pilgrim from
the path.
Fujiyama stands alone, not one peak
among range, but utterly alone. Ris-
ing straight out of the sea on one side
and from the great Tokyo plain on the
other, his 1866 feet in two long curry
ing lines of exquisite grace rise up and
up into the blue, and not an inch of
one foot is hidden or lost. 1t is all
there, visible as a tower built on a tree
less plain. It dominates the landscape.
1t can be seen from thirteen provinces,
and from hundred miles at sea the
pale white peak of Fujiyama floats
above the blue.

[By Telegraph The Tribune
Trenton n j. Feb. 13.-The commission ap-
pointed by Governor Fort to revise the primary
and election laws organized this afternoon by
selecting Ex-Governor Stokes as chairman
Prior to the organization Mr. Stokes, with the
two other members of the commission Chandler
W. Riker and Colonel Nelson Y. DUNCAN. called
upon the Governor to ascertain his views. Gov
ernor Fort urged the immediate drafting or a
bill providing that the primary system should be
made applicable to the selection of delegates TO
the national convention, which was recon-
mended in a special ssage he sent to the
Legislature last week.
Mr.. Riker. who is understood to share the
views of Governor Fort. was disposed to favor
the introduction of the direct primary system
in the choice Of delegates. Mr.. Stokes and Col
one DUNCAN, although not committing them
selves any course of action, argued that In
view of the issuing of the call for the national
convention, serious complications would likely
follow any attempt TO adopt direct primary
method for the conventions this year.
No formal action was taken, but Colonel Dun
gan deputiZed to prepare a draft of a prl-
mary bill applicable to the selection of national
