To

Here is a novel game for Leap
Year. 1t consists of couplets with a
bow of ribbon opposite each. The game
is to send it, not one, but all couplets,
on one sheet to a gentleman to test
his regard for you. AS the verses in
dictate, he is to send back to the girl
the bow which must accurately ex-
press his regard for her. 1t is bad
form to sign a name to the missive
and that is the fun of it. The young
man is supposed to guess from whom
it is. OF course he may send back the
bow to the wrong girl, but that is his
lookout. If he hasn't intuition enough
to answer to the right girl he is a
poor prospect. But that Is still more
fun. The directions are as follows:
! Fill in the blank line with the verses
given below, tint the outline bows
with water colors or crayons. If
water color is used, mix the paint
thick and don't spread on too heavily.
In place of painting the bows, actual
bows of baby ribbon may be pasted or
pinned over the outlines, or the whole
thing may be copied on note paper
and embellished With pointed bows or
with ribbons. These verses will deter
mine your fate if maiden you be-
II you hope the day I'll set,
Return to me the violet:
II your love will stick like glue,
Send me back this bow of blue;
If for love of me you'd drown,
| Don t-and send me this bow of brown;
/ If single life is good enough,
/ Send me back this bow of buff;
If thoughts of me roam through Your
head.
Just send me back this bow OF red;
If you're already my best fellow,
Return to me this bow of yellow;
If I'm the prettiest girl you've seen.
Twill prove it if get the green:
/ If any love for me YOU lack,
Return this sombre bow of black

A BATHROOM IN JAPAN.

Tiny In Space. with Round Tub
and simple Fittings.
This bathroom in Japan was a tiny
space by 8 feet, says a writer in the
Craftsman. In it were four objects, a
stool to sit upon when washing oneself
before getting into the bath, shining
brass wash basin, wooden pail and
dpper in which to fetch the bath wa
ter and the tub. The tub, like most
private baths, was round, casket Shap-
ed and made of white wood. 1t was
perhaps thirty inches in diameter and
twentyseven inches high. A copper
funnel or tube passing through the bot
tom went up inside close to the edge.
This, filed with lighted charcoal, sup
piled heat for the water. The pipe was
higher than the tub, so the water
could not leak inside. A few trans
verse bars of wood fitted into grooves
and formed protection so the bather
could kneel in the tub without coming
in contact with the hot pipe. The walls
of the room We're of white wood, with
a pretty grain: the floor of pine. laid
with slight slope and grooved so the
water might flow into gutter and
through bamboo pipe to the yard. A
moon shaped lattice window high up
let in air and light. AS a provision for
more ventilation the two outside walls
for a foot below the ceiling were lat
tice of bamboo stats.
AS my eye travelled from object to
object I quickly sized up the cost
for the tub, s yen. and it would last

RECALLS PROSPERITY UNDER
coUNTRY'S LOWEST TARIFF

LOS ANGELES. May 4,-(Editor
HERALD: 1t is unfortunate that we
have in this republic so many people
who, instead of following the die
tates of reason, plain common sense,
allow themselves to be controlled by
their emotions, erroneous, preconceived
opinions and partisan judgments. From
those Republicans who have at heart
their country's welfare and who are
willing to stand up for the right,
though they should stand alone, l
would like to ask from them their
thoughtful perusal of the following
statement of facts: On account of the
depressed condition of the country in
1845, caused by high tariffs, Mr.. Walk
er had passed his low-tarlff bill of 1886
1t was bitterly opposed by New Eng
lands representatives Instead of it's
being an injury to any part of the
country, 1t was so universally benefi-
cial that after eleven years trial the
same senators insisted upon Mr.. Walk
ers submitting the still lower free
trade" bill of 1857. AS to the good eff
fects of the 1857 bill, listen to the mes
sage of President Buchanan to con-
gress on December 4, 1860: Through
out the year since our last meeting the
country has been eminently prosper

DEMOCRATIC LEAGUE

N1 HE Democratic league was organ
lied almost at the last moment.
~ The Herald, when it saw the ac-
tion of Eddie Morris in his precinct
last Saturday and learned the names
of some of the candidates put forward
by the regular machine, became con-
vinced there was lack of good faith in
the regular ranks. However, there
can be no doubt that the fact the
league was known to be in the field
actively led to the nominating by the
regulars of great many good men,
which in itself is a moral victory for
the opponents of the machine. We are
absolutely convinced and positively
satisfied that the future of the Demo-
cratic party, its appeal to respectable
people and it's hope for future success
make it necessary that certain ele-
ment in it should be overthrown. AS
the good work has now been well be-
gun, it should be continued until COM
pleted. Inasmuch as it appears that
the Lincoln league has
checked the Southern Pacific, that or
ganization will naturally be inclined to
take up the Democratic party, which,
forewarned on this matter, will be pre-
pared to withhold aid, countenance and
support from the corporation schemers.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-05-06
VITAL ISSUE

~ ENAToR ROBERT NJ. LA FOL-
LETTE says: Blind indeed is
~ he who does not see what the
time portends. There is just one issue
before the country today. 1t is not
tariff. 1t is not currency. 1t is not
railroad regulation. These and other
important questions are phases of one
conflict. There is no remote corner of
the country where the power of special
interests Is not encroaching on public
rights In other words, Americanism
is endangered by the encroachments
and usurpations of spoilers. 1t may
also be endangered by various forms
which resentment may take. Fortu-
nately, this Is law abiding nation,
and Captain Moonlight's operations are
confined to remote corners Of our coun-
try. Constitutionalism, an exact obe-
dience to the requirements of American
citizenship, will effect all reforms nee
essary. Kentucky night riders supply
an object lesson in the inefficiency OF
violent methods. They have burned
up a great deal of money, destroyed
the product of a great deal of labor
reforms are not accomplished by the
impoverishment of communities.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-05-06
CONFIDENCE

TT IS not surprising that George
Gould takes an optimistic view of
n the financial outlook. He says the
country has turned a corner. He ac-
knowledges with becoming modesty
that the Western Union has million
dollars hard cash in bank and is max
ing both ends meet. In spite of the
marital eccentricities of a female men,
ber Of the family, the great Gould for
tune has not been impaired seriously
by the pauper aristocracy of Europe.
1t is believed that Helen, in spite Of
her benefactions, is still on the safe
side of the account book, and that
Anna does not need to borrow two bits
when she wishes to go down town. AS
George enjoys "a perpetual pass on the
New York Elevated, street and under
meath railroads, he will never have to
walk from his home to his Office for
lack of nickel 1t is inspiring to learn
that Mr.. Gould believes the corner has
been turned in the financial situation.
How different was his dear, revered
papa, who, money-morally speaking,
was built wrong end to and was never
happier than when he was turning a
corner" in the financial situation.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-05-06
SUFFICIENT REASON

Hy HE HERALD disliked very much
to enter into any contest of Dem
ocrats with alleged Democrats,
and particularly disliked to align itself
against any faction of the party of
which the mayor of Los Angeles. elected
on a Democratic ticket, was a member,
but when the mayor permitted his name
to appear on a ticket as a candidate
running as a shoulder to shoulder asso-
ciae of the saloon keeper Goings, who
two years ago was party to the in
famous scheme of the disreputable
Eddie Morris and his Southern Pacific
strikers to name Democrat for rail-
road commissioner for the purpose of
being defeated, The Herald had to draw
the line.
Self respect as we'll as reasonable
regard for the common decencies which
must be applied to parties as well as
to individuals was the cause of The
Herald's action and attitude. And, this
statement having been made, it is not
necessary to say anything further upon
the subject.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-05-06
CONGRATULATIONS

Z OS ANGELES HERALD most
IL heartily congratulates the Lin
= coin Roosevelt league on its de-
feat of the Southern Pacific machine.
We congratulate the Republican party
on fits association with such a clean,
capable organization, and we congratu-
late all decent, high principled citi-
zens interested in politics and associ-
ated with the Republican party on the
progress made by the Lincoln-Roose
velt league in the work of relieving one
of the great parties of the incubus of
Southern Pacific control.
The LINCOLN Roosevelt league is in
spired by and exemplifies the spirit of
good citizenship and fearless Ameri-
canism. Its force, which is a moral
as we'll as merely political force, has
been we'll directed. Its energies have
been concentrated and its activities
employed for the accomplishment of
aims which were definite from the be-
ginning. Both on the manner in which
its excellent and efficient work for
good citizenship and political honesty
and independence was done and on the
splendid results achieved by its work
the Lincoln Roosevelt league deserves
most hearty congratulations. 1t has
earned the sincere good will of every
citizen who has at heart the best in
terests of California and the nation.

WITH INFERIOR RESOURCES
MikADO'S GOVERNMENT
SPENDS MUCH MONEY

Tobacco, salt and camphor are gov
ernment monopolies, and all profit to
be made in those lines is converted di-
rectly into the national treasury. The
railways are owned by the government,
and while the passenger service is ex-
cellent and cheap, the freight traffic is
said to suffer greatly. At any rate the
revenue from the roads is going into
the general funds and not for improve
ments. The taxes on the sale of sake,
the national beverage, and other every
day necessities of the people. were ale
ready enormous, but the diet has re-
Gently raised them. There is a con-
sumption tax on eating sugar and
wearing clothes. Nothing under the
sun that can be taxed is left untaxed.
and yet this is a country where the
farmers cam eat the high quality of
rice which they grow, but must ex-
port it to other and more favored lands,
while they import inferior rice from
China for their own use. Imagine the
American farmer being forced to sell
everything he raises and buying infe-
rior stuff to eat! How long would he
stanL it?
japan has about half as many peo-
pie as the United States and about
one-twentieth its wealth. Yet the
Japanese nation spent last year $3l5,-
000,0 ,000 as against the United States
national expenditures of s575, 900. or
more than half Of the American out

SOCIAL REFORMS

TN HE new british governmental pro-
gram includes education and old
l. age pensions. The Asquith ad-
ministration will attempt to improve
social conditions by taking care of
young and old, and asserting definitely
the paternal position of the state
toward children too young and men and
women too old to work. The program
may be successful in the house of COM
mons, but the house of lords may block
it. However, that would be a danger
Gus game to play, for the long threat
ened reform of the house of lords would
be effected. AS nothing is said of lords
reform in the program, it is not inprob-
able that the lords, among whom are
now many radicals, tradesmen, law
yers and other non -aristocratic persons,
have agreed to support the proposed
social reform measures.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-05-06
POSSIBILITIES

TT is impossible to guess how much
reliance may be placed on reports
l. that India is on the verge Of a
general uprising. Not infrequently In
dian news is tainted for stock exchange
purposes. 1t is not probable, however,
that Russia will attempt to interfere
or aid and a. ct insurrection in the hope
of adding India to her Asiatic empire.
If Russia should attempt anything of
the kind Japan would attack her, and
the upshot of the whole disturbance
would be that Japan would own the
Indian empire, Tibet and probably all
OF Indo-China, and be not only the
greatest Asiatic power, but the most
