used by the government, first, be-
cause 1t was needed. and secondly,
because Japan wanted to appear in
a pro-Christian light. Undoubtedly
there has been a measure of this
same sort of statecraft in the govern
ment's recent gifts to the Young
Mems Christian association army work.
In the government Offices of Toxic
l came upon the program with re-
spect to religion, and how it has been
changed My authority is so high
that it cannot be questioned. The in
tention of the men who shape the
nations policy (and this is paternal,
not a popular, form of government
was that the Crown Prince of Japan
should become a baptized Christian,
so that the next emperor should be
counted among the Christian rulers of
the earth. The personal convictions
of the crown prince did not figure in
the matter at all; the rulers look
upon Christianity without any regard
to the beliefs of individuals, which is
a serious oversight as | shall show.
Even yet it is possible that the pro-
gram may be overturned by the sin
cero conversion of the crown prince
to Christianity, an event, however,
which is quite improbable.
For the second part of the gov
eminent program reverses the first.
The plan has been changed. 1t has
now been decided that it is unneces-
sary for Japan to become Christian
nauon. The next emperor will not be
a Christian. independence and toler-
alton in religious matters will con-
tinue to be the national policy, but
the same official whose views l have
beet expressing declares it to be his
belief that Japan will never become
a Christian nation, although there will
remain, alongside of Buddhism and
Shintoism, Japanese Christian
church.
An Elder Statesman's Keen Views.
On the same point let me quote
Count Okuma, one of the elder states
men and the most influential individ-
ual in Japan. l had long interview
with him in his beautiful home, upon
many phases of the Japanese problem,
including this one. Japan has the
most perfect religious liberty in the
world. So great is the spirit of toler-
alton here that a conference on mu-
tual relations was recently held in
Toxic by the Christians, Buddhists
and Shintoists. But this very confer
ence showed a lack of zeal on the
part of each for its own faith. This
same lack of ancient zest, and ten
dency to surrender beliefs, is also
noticeable, l understand, in America.
AS to Christianity in Japan, l would

form of wickedness. If you find more
enjoyment in the clubroom, in the
literary society, in the art saloon,
than you do in these unpretending
home pleasures, you are on the road
to ruin. Though you may be cut off
from your early associates, and tho
you may be separated from all your
kindred, young man, is there not
a room somewhere that you can call
your own? Though it be the fourth

to be devouring dogs in the vicinity
of Hickory, Miss. If the animal can
be located we would like to bring it
to Wilkinson County where it can
live in clover on our dog meat for

thing to get rid of the worthless cur
dogs that infest our county, as they
cause more damage to game and eat
more eggs and chickens than they

The old saying that The sorriest
kind of man will kill you about his
wife, frequently is acted out when
some outraged husband Stays the
spoiler of his home and then we have
ranting multitudes and trials in
which the unwritten law plays eth
er subtle or open part. So long as
there is no law to punish the tradu-
Ger of a mans wife; just so long will
we be reading of killings by men of
sach low lived libertines. There have
been statutes and statutes framed to
punish the seducer of the un married
girl, but who can point to one where
the strong arm of the law is invoked
to punish the lustful wretch who O.
verpersuades some weak minded girl
wife, as in the Crosby case. Then man
undertakes to redress his own
wrongs, but is held to answer for
it by law that doesn t recognize his
ruinous grievance.

It's with dotted hat we stand and
voice our appreciation to the many
brethren of the quill who have lately
seen fit to favor our feeble lutheran
ces with reproductions. At one time
we felt almost that our brother-pub-
fishers were in league to ignore us
but now it's almost the other way.
Oh if we can only continue writing
something that's worth while, and
we are convinced we have made some
happy pen strokes. when our articles
show up duly credited in some as
able edited papers as there are in
the state. This expression doesn t
mean that we are going to get spoil
ed by such treatment, but that we
shall only strive the harder to merit
its continuance. Vanity to the winds,
but laudable ambition in the saddle.
