faith among the uneducated. When
Charles I OF England stood for divine
right and Cromwell for human right
was there not many educated men on
the side Of Charles?
'shinto the way Of the gods says
an eminent japanese statesman who is
OF the faith, 1T is not regarded as a re-
iigiOn, but il II be a religion, it is GER
tainly Of a unique kind. 1t has no found
er, nor has It any dogmas. in the or
dinary sense of religion. It has grown
UP with the customs land traditions and
general characteristics Of the nation. II
recognizes the immortality Of the soul; II
acknowledges the existence of supeTnat-
ural power; Il reverences the ancestral
spirits, and, threfore il may be called
religion Of ancestor worship. It con-
Germs itself, however, with temporal mat
teTs far more than with spiritual affairs.
It has existed In Japan from time i'm
memorial long before the introduction Of
Confucianism and Buddhism. From an
ethical points of view Il has more teach
ing in il than Buddhism, but it is not so
elaborate as Confucianism. Neverthe-
less, it has a tight grasp on the Japa-
nese mind. It Is based upon a patri-
archial form of community. It's essen
science; but the idea Of cleanliness is ap-
piled not only mentally but physically
hence its tendency to bodily cleanliness
as well as other cognate matters. It
speaks OF good and bad. the one as
black or muddy. and the other as red
or clear It reverences the Ruler from
the very nature Of its cult. and 4 magnif-
cent Ideal Of a subject and a citizen is
developed from these simple notions"
Thus speaks Baron Suematsu, and I'm
his last sentence he sounds the keynote
Of the reason for the life OF Shinto. Il
is political and a national religion, and
the nation fears that with the death OF
Shinto Japan itself would expire The
250.oo0 Shinto shrines are divided into
twelve classes, from the Great Shrine Of
Ise down TO the "shrines with no fxad
parish to guard over" Many Of these
are the shrines to family deities. and
about them still revolves the complicated
machinery of the japanese family"
Others are erected to the memory Of
mythical deities and heroes. and others
10 the patriots OF history. The last deif-
cation OF note was that Of Prince Kita-
shiTkawa, who died Of disease in For
mOsa in 1895 while leading an army sent
TO subjugate the rebels shrine of high
official rank was erected to him and he is
now deihed as the God Of Formosa.

The first attempt by the New Yorl
suffragettes to have their name:
placed on the voting list Of New York
city, suffered defeat Monday when Il
women visited the registration booths
and tried vainly to induce the registry
clerks to record their names. No dis
order accompanied the attempt The
women were referred to the New York
state election law which states that
an eiector shall be male citizen. The
women consider this a campaign of ed
ucation and it is with the idea of maxi
Ing converts rather than as actually
being allowed to register now that they
will keep up this work each registra-
