UNION OF CHRISTIAN
CHURCHES ENCOURAGING;
PRoTEsTANTS ARE UNITING

The Japanese Congregationalists, or
Kumi-ai churches, were the first to as
sumo independence, the nature OF the
parent organization.f fostering the spirit.
The American missionaries remain in
Japan as assistants and advisers, and
financial help from abroad Is still alb
solutely necessary. The Presbyterian
and Reformed Church bodies having
missions in Japan have united their
Japanese churches into an organization
known as the Nihon Kiristo Kyokwai,
or the Church of Christ in Japan. This
church also has ecclesiastical indepen-
dence and is striving to get to a point
where foreign financial help Is no
longer necessary. The various Angli-
can or Episcopal churches have united
under tn name of Nihon Seiko Kwai.
The two Baptist bodies are practically
united the line of division being even
fainter than in the Unite1 States. The
three principal Methodist churches,
that is the northern and southern
branches of the Methodist Episcopal
church in the United States and the
Methodist church of Canada, caused
union of all their churches in Japan.
This was consummated last May ana
the Methodist church of Japan Is now
an independent and autonomous body
under the guidance of Bishop Honda,
the first Japanese Methodist bishop.
All these movements toward church
union have had very encouraging er-
feet and many Japanese Christians
look forward to the early union OF all
the leading Protestant bodies under the
name of the Protestant Church or
japan, While the Protestant churches
show no more members than does the
Roman Catholic, and but twice as
MANY as the Greek Catholic, the Pro-
testant influence is regarded as being
predominant in Japan. This is largely
due to the fact that the American Pro-
testants were the first missionaries TO
come into the country after II was
opened, and to the fact that the Amer
lean missions have large influence
among nom Christian and semi-Chris-
tian Japanese people on account OF the
great amount of educational and med
ical work which has been done without
regard to profession of the Christian
faith by the recipients of the benefits.
The Roman Catholic propaganda mas
been carried on largely by French mis-
sionaries end has been wonderfully sue
cessful. the real work not being begun
until 1872, or fifteen years after the
opening of the American Protestant
missions. OF course. the Japanese
catholics have no notion of an indepen-
dent church such as Is possessed by
their Protestant brethren, as they must
recognize the authority of the Vatican.
The Russo-Greek Catholic church
was really the first Christian church to
come into Japan after the exclusion.

JAPANESE SAY CHRISTIANITY
HAS BEEN OF GREAT
BENEFIT TO, THEIR PEOPLE

Undoubtedly the Christian church
in Japan has a greater influence In
the country today than the statistics
of membership indicate, but 1t is also
true that many Japanese who profess
adherence to Christianity are still
largely influenced by ancient practices
and though, and the influence of
Shnto with its ancestor worship Is
mighty in the Japanese mind. Not
withstanding this fact, there are thou
sands of earnest and devoted Japanese
Christians who are firm in the belief
that there is no other hope for the
future of Japan than the acceptance OF
the religion of the lowly Nazarene.
Eminent Japanese who do not profess
Christianity agree that the work done
in Japan by the missionaries has been
of great benefit to the Japanese peo-
pie and has brought them nearer to
a realization of the ideal Of the broth
erhood of man. The Japanese has re-
ceived from the American Protestant
missionary especially all that he need
ed to equip him to keep step with the
progress of modern times. The mis-
sionary gave him education. gave him
medical attention-before the adoption
of Occidental medical science by the
Japanese-and instructed him In the
ways of the outside world. Whether
the particular Japanese who received
these things did or did not accept
the religion preached by the mission
aries he was always grateful and al
ways considerate. The missionaries
and the Japanese live together on
terms of such close fellowship that
neither will permit criticism Of the
other as a class.

PROHIBITION IN ACTION

n HERE can be no doubt that the
abolition of the canteen Is of the
n greatest financial as we'll as moral
and physical benefit to old soldiers.
Col. T. J. Cochrane, governor of the
Soldiers home, sent reports to Wash
ington showing that 100000 more PEN
sion money was transmitted to rela-
tives through. the home treasurer dur
ing last year without the beer canteen
than during the year previous when the
canteen was open. Congress is anxious
to establish the truth of a claim that
the inmates of the ten homes turned
over 100000 more pension money to
during the year of beer. 1t is aggravat-
ing to think that a large sum, year.
ly fortune, appropriated by this gen.
erous nation in order to secure the COM
fort of it's veterans, should be diverted
to the Golfers of the brewers. The huge
sum saved by inmates of ten homes
when beer was excluded from the do
nestle economy of the homes shows the
enormous amount of waste involved in
even such a comparatively petty, in
significant form of the liquor habit as
beer drinking. We know that anti-beer
crusades are sometimes unpopular, that
in some eastern cities they have cut
short the political careers of reformers
who believed in prohibition, and that
in England an anti-beer movement in
a great political campaign had to be
disclaimed and abandoned because the
life of the party espousing this form of
temperance was threatened. The
chorus of one of the popular songs of
that campaign is still remembered. We
give 1t In modified form:
"Then blast his. eyes
Whoever that tries
To rob a poor man of his beer!"
Anything that will tend to improve
the condition of the poor is worthy of
serious consideration. If the reports of
the soldiers homes can be taken as
criterions, the waste of money on idle
-bibbing is too like an unnecessary
tax on the people at time when many
citizens are complaining of poverty,
lack of working capital and lack of
opportunity to work.

ILLITERACY

PROFESSOR LUTOSLAWSKI of the
University of Cracow. Russian
= Poland, is remembered in Los
Angeles, where he made his first pub
lie addresses and opened his campaign.
Lutoslawsk is an international So
Geological student. Fools will laugh at
him. Little Americans will make fun
of him. Conscientious Americans who
have been studying closely the alarm
ing social and educational conditions
of the country in the last few years
are impressed profoundly by the awful
truth of the chief accusation hurled
against this money mad, dollar daft
republic by the dauntless Polish
scholar.
Il warn you that you are in danger.
You are ignorant, and that is weak
ness. In my stay in this country
have been most impressed with the
utter disrespect for learning that pre-
walls. You are illiterate. To your bus
mess heads you pay high salaries
$4,000 year. To your professors you
pay $4,000, or perhaps $1,000. 1t is be-
thinkers. that you have among you
thousands of false teachers. And still
1 have faith in America. You are
struggling for better government and
you will get it. Geographically, you
have strong position. Even though
to gain a part of your territory, it
could not hold it. President Roosevelt
is an able man. He foresees the coun-
try's need-SHIPS. YOU NEED SHIPS.
SHIPS. SHIPS-NOT FOUR. BUT
DOZENS"
When the prophetic poet said 'ill
fares the land where wealth accumu-
lates and men decay he was thinking
not of physical degeneration. but of
the decadence of manly interests and
concerns which appeal to manly men.
Illiteracy is probably the greatest evil
produced by Republican misrule. 1t is
the worst which could be devised by
the country's deadliest enemy, for it is
prolific parent of evils. Ills accumu-
late wherever illiteracy gains ground,
and the Bible says a people will be
DESTROYED by lack of knowledge.
1t was brainshiftlessness, an Interrupt
ton of the thinking faculty, attribut-
able to illiteracy and lack of training,
which caused the people to permit the
agencies of evil to defle and degrade
Americanism by using the term Amer
lean prosperity" as a bait to catch un-
wary gudgeons at the polls. And hav-
ing caught them, didn't they cook
them? The poor fish are sizzling yet,

cRITIcIsES SHAMEFUL METHOD
ADOPTED BY DOG CATCHER

LOS ANGELES, May 1.-[Editor
Herald: 1t seems hardly too much to
claim that any institution for dealing
with dumb animals should be conducted
on humane lines more especially II
such institution is run under municipal
patronage or sanction-the city pound,
for instance.
Now there are two points In connec-
tion with that institution as it exists
in this city that strike me as scandal
and a disgrace. l allude to feature
of it's dog-catching procedure. the
primary object of which is supposed to
be the keeping of the streets clear of
stray and neglected dogs. Yet how is
it worked?
In the first place an exorbitant ram
som is fixed. which turns the system
into a species of blackmail. Not only
are dogs taken up off the streets. but a
deliberate plan is followed for enticing
dogs onto the street by trailing behind
the dog catcher's wagon poor wretch

dogs off their owners lawns and

WOES OF THE G. o. P.

REPUBLICANS are acknowledging
X that the party is going to pieces
~ A leading Republican organ says:
"The danger this year to Republican,
ism lies inside the party. Throwing
firebrands into ones powder supplies
is not the way to insure victory in a
hand to hand conflict with the enemy.
Why all this casting of fire
brands within the ranks instead of
concentrated fire upon the enemy?
Why import firebrand throwers from
San Francisco to roast honest and
loyal Republicans? Look carefully over
the list of leaders in the movement
engaged everywhere In the work of
creating dissension. Who are they,
thus engaged? They ought to be in the
Republican party as humble disciples
rather than as expounders of our doc
trine. They are men who have been
fighting Republicanism all their lives,
What are they proposing and contend
ing for now? Why do they bring
Heney down here? For the cause of
Republicanism? No. To abuse good
Republicans, create friction and imperil
party success. They are as busy today
disseminating un-Republican notions
as they We're when in the ranks of the
most advanced Populists. They are
sowing the fires Of dissension in Repub-
lican ranks in an effort to break up the
solid phalanx necessary to Republican
success"
If we were disposed to be finicky we
might take exception to the enthusi-
asm of this English, which seems to
have been struggling vainly against
an overwhelming tide of IDEAS. Let's
