Terminating them from its practice.
The second movement has for its
immediate outcome this idea of nup-
tials by photograph. There are about
100000 Japanese in the United States,
and fully 80 per cent. Of them lead
single lives. Such a condition was
tolerable so long as settlers object
consisted merely in earning as fast as
possible enough to return home. But
in view of the anti-Oriental spirit now
prevailing in the United States, the
Japanese residents see that the only
practical remedy lies in becoming per-
manent settlers, and in carrying out
that program a wife is prime essen
tial
To return to Japan, however, for
the purpose of providing himself with
wife means not only that a man
would have to incur great expense,
but also that it would be more than
doubtful whether he could re-enter the
states subsequently. Therefore, the
only feasible alternative is to get a
wife over from Japan without going to
fetch her.
All this appears to have been an
ticipated very cleverly by the we'll
known Mr. Shimanuki. prominent
Christian. Some time ago he estab-
lished in the Koisikawa suburb of
Tokyo an institution called the Ryok-
kokai, which may be freely translated
Self, Help society.
The inmates Of this institution,
mostly graduates from girls high
schools, receive education in all sub
jects likely to be of practical utility,
such as housekeeping. cooking, sew
ing, typewriting, etc. In fact they are
expressly equipped to be the wives of
Japanese settlers In the United
States.
1t is between this institution and
the Japanese settlers that photo
graphs have been exchanged, and by
this means the settlers are enabled
to obtain helpmates whose qualifica-
tons and record are known and
whose appearance is rendered familiar
by the photographs. The idea is that
if the settlers thus marry and bring
up families, their sons will become
naturalized American citizens, and by
degrees the anti-Japanese feeling in
the United States will die out. The
conception seems eminently practical
and useful. nor can we doubt for
moment that the Japanese authorities

Down behind a natural fortress of
huge powders in eastern Kentucky a
woman who has not yet seen her thir-
tieth birthday is calmly, intrepidly
and successfully defying the mighty
government of the United States.
A few days ago, single-handed. she
beat back a posse of the best revenue
officers Uncle Sam could muster. Her

preme and immovable.
Mary Fouts, aged 81, is Americas
only moonshine maid, and she is a
moonshiner by birth. inclination and
training. Her father was a moon
sinner before her, and the several ram
ifications of her family hold records
for battle with revenue officers that
any mountaineer might envy.
For 40 years the Beaver Creek dis
trict, on the Observation-Disclosures Dor
der, has been moonshine stronghold
the scene of many a pitched battle
between moonshiners and government
officials. Blood. of both sides has
stained its narrow ravines and pic
turesque mountain paths. If record
of lives sold for the mountain brew
had been kept doubtless the greater
number of notches would have been
cut by Uncle Sam. But when it came
to this woman, this tall, stalwart,
calm-eyed, sure aiming young woman
on her native heath, Uncle Sam was
bafled. Chivalry died hard, even when
backed by law and justice, and to send
his picked shots against woman was
more than even Uncle Sam wanted to
do. IN time the clash had to come,
yet the woman won against the law
and its armed officers.
Mary Fouts was born in the rude
home where she now distills what is
said to be the best brand of whisky
obtainable In all Kentucky. Her baby
eyes studied the still, and her baby
ears learned to catch quick, ominous
whispers. Just as the child of the
proveTbial artist accepts poverty as
the price of parental genius. as the
child Of the king believes that royal
ty can do no wrong, so this child of
the mountains believed that making
whisky without government consent
was the inalienable right of hill peo-
pie.
Her parents were ambitious for the
little Mary. however, and sent her to
school. where she proved exception
ally bright, and acquired an amount of
book learning" which dazzled her
humble relatives. But she never for
got her love Of the mountain life and
never lost her grip on mountain ira
ditions.
When other girls we're writing notes
to each other or making paper dolls
Mary Fouts was drawing pictures of
stills, and finally she presented to her
astonished teacher a perfect repro
ductim OF q still, including the worm"
which she had evolved from some odd
bits Of copper that came her way.

A THREAT TO BOLT MADE
McCarren Demanded That His Dele
gates Be Seated, Otherwise He
Would Walk Out Nominating
Session Probably Tomorrow Bry-
an Will Be There Wednesday Night

Rochester, N. Y, Sept. 15.-With
the question of the gubernatorial nom
ination still unsettled, but narrowing
to a choice among three Or four, and
the prospect Of a lively session in
volving the merits of the fight be-
tween Charles F. Murphy, leader of
Tammany Hall, and Senator Patrick
H. McCarren, of Brooklyn, over the
contested seats in Kings county, the
Democratic state convention conven-
ed today at noon. McCarren had made
a threat to bolt the convention if any
of his delegates should be unseated.
The McCarren delegates, against
whom contest had been entered be-
fore the state committee, were un-
seated by that body last night. Nc
Carren took with him to the co1ven-
ton a resolution which he declared
portunity, calling for complete re-
organization of the state committee
and the election of new members
McCarren says he will first make his
fight before the credentials commit
tee, and if unsuccessful there will
carry the matter to the floor of the
convention. The nominating session
of the convention will not be settled
until late tomorrow afternoon, and
may be postponed until Thursday ON
account of the visit and address of
William ]. Bryan Wednesday hight.
Every effort will be made, however,
to have at least the gubernatorial-
nomination out of the way before Mr..
Bryan arrives. This is the wish of
Mr.. Bryan, who does not desire to
be put in the position of influencing
the selection of candidate in the
state convention.
The first session of the Democratic
state convention opened here at
1880 p. m. and lasted less than an
hour. 1t was devoted exclusively to
the opening address by ex-Judge Nor
gan J. O'Brien and to routine busi-
ness. Adjournment was taken at 1:45
until tomorrow morning.

candidate for governor to defeat the
denomination of Governor Hughes.
Oyster Bay, Sept. 15.-The over
night furry at Saratoga from which
the name of David Jayne Hill has
emerged as a possible candidate for
the Republican gubernatorial nomi-
nation, appears not to have aroused
any serious misgivings at Sycamore
Hill, where it is an open secret that
the denomination of Hughes is very
strongly desired. While no official
statement is made, Secretary Loeb
said the situation was entirely salts

ton desired to nominate him for gov

ject, and when asked directly said
he was not a candidate for any office.

of Roswell, N. NJ, was held at the
court house Monday afternoon, Sept.

meeting held in March were read and
approved. The financial report was
also read and accepted.
The Secretary's first annual report
was then read and accepted and or
dered filed and printed.
Questions were asked and answer
ed. Mr.. Bremond spoke of the need
of the people being awake to the
needs of protecting our water and
of taking the necessary steps in time
He introduced w. c. Reid, who said
that when danger was seen preventa-
tive steps should be taken; also that
stopping well drilling was a serious
proposition and one that would be
fought, but we did not need more
legislation for this. If the people
want it done, it can be done.
B. H. Wixom, of Hagerman, said:

gallons per minute, for 20 acres of

w. G. Urton agreed with Messrs.
Bremond and Reid, in that the peo-
pie must look out for their rights.

interest to know what pumping cost
Where their ditch cost about 5000
year for cleaning AID the expenses
for irrigating 800 acres, now they
raised the water feet, the cost was
about $500 per month.
Mr.. Wells suggested that the Sec
retary ask different farmers, who had
been successful in the use of water,
to give their experiences. He felt
that by being printed in the paper,
they would be the means of helping
in the use of water.
w. C. Reid spoke of the papers
the Territorial engineer, on the use
OF water, as being of much value. AS
they are to be printed in booklet
form, those interested should send
Tor them.

president for the ensuing year.

which was seconded and carried.
that the number of directors of the
