and Governor OF Korea
Said 10 Be Killed.
Assassin Immediately Arrest
ed For Crime.
son OF ITO HURRIEs TO HIM

Toxic, Oct. 26.-News has been re-
ceived here that Prince Ito, tht
famous japanese statesman, has been
assassinated by a Korean at Hardin.
Prince Hirobumi Ito was perhap:
the greatest statesman OF the new
Japan. The achievement with which
his name has been chiefly associated
In the misds Of occidentals, was the
framing Of the imperial constitution
by virtue of which Japan took her
place for the first time in the rank
Of modern civilized states.
The desOatch contained only the
brief announcement that Prince Ito
had been assSssinated The news has
caused great gl.ef and CONSERVATION
As the emperor's trusted adviser
and the medium through which the
state was placed on a constitutional
basis, ne must be regarded as one of
the positive factors which have
helped to win for Japan her present
standing among the nations.
He was GS years old II was in
1863 that he made his celebrated pill
grimage to England at a time when il
was against the law Of his country to
go abroad and. the penalty for in
fringement was death. Nevertheless,
inspired by patriotic feeling and a de-
sire To learn the secret of occidental
supremacy. he undertook the trip
which later proved 30 beneficial to
his country. Ito, who was president
Of the privy council of Japan, left
Toxic October 1G for tour of Man
churia. Ire Wa to have arrived at
Harbim today. TUESDAY where he
was TO have met Kokovsoff the Rus
sian minister of finance. The confer
ence. IL was said, was at the behest
Of Japan. and the Russian foreign
diplomats attached great importance
to II. although the exact motives i'm
polling Japan 10 propose the confer
ence are not known.
The subjects TO be discussed were
not suggested in the Japanese over
lures and NJ. Kohovson, il was said
hdh bdAi'h PhtiAiNdi Qu'ellbHS. nv
said that he was competent to discuss
only financial and technical subjects,
these covering the status of the Man
churian railroads. In some quarters,
IL was believed that the tour Of
Prince Ito TO Manchuria was to have
been of a political nature and that it
had as basis an attempt to forestall
the protests Of the powers against
Russia's domination of the Manchu-
rian railway zone under her agree
ment with China, by effecting a COM
plete understanding between Japan
and China.
Prince Ito visited the United
States in 1870 as commissioner to in
vestigate the financial and banking
systems. On his return to Japan, he
was appointed vice minister of pub
Tic works In 1850 he negotiated
with III Hung Chang on the Korean
question and concluded the treaty
which formed the basis of Japan's
justification for her war with China
in 1894. Later he negotiated a treaty
of peace with China and at the close
of the war was made a marquis.
After the Russo-Japanese war he
was resident general in Korea in
which capacity he became the object

Mr.. TArT'S DECISION.

II 1t Is true. as stated on good au-
thority, that President Elect Taft has
made a decision never to drink alco-
holic liquor. he is to be warmly com
mended
Mr.. Taft has the will power Of a
strong man. and if he has made up his
mind he will keep his pledge.
One naturally asks the reason for
such n determination.
There is perhaps small danger for
such man in the occasional use Of
intoxicants. His strong personality
would not permit such use to become
a vicious habit
But
Mr.. Taft's exalted position among
men makes his personal example a mat
ter OF great Importance. And, above
all
The spirit of his action in this de-
cisfon IS the spirit Of self denial for
the sake Of others
And that kind Of spirit in q great
man is more potent than thousand

A MARSUAL'S BATON.

Garfield said he felt like taking of
because of the possibilities under his
ragged iacket.
And Napoleon said there was Il mar
shaTs baton in the knapsacll Of every
i private soldier in his armies
| Whether Napoleon believed what he
said or was speaking for purpose we
may not know, but recent writer
tells of two potentially great men who
did carry knapsacks i'm the cmporer's
| army
One of these veterans was named
rasteur. who. after the battle of Wa
trrloo returned to his trade MS Il tan
ner Denied the advantages of an ctlu-
cation. he determined that his so,,
should have his chance. He worked
far into the night in order to send the
boy to school
That son was Louis Pasteur. the
greatest chemist and Psychologist of
modern times.
Louis Pasteur made some Of the
greatest discoveries of the nineteenth
century. He also laid the foundation
for modern antiseptic surgery. thus
comforting boon on suffering human
ity for all time.
The veteran Pasteur had more than
marshals baton in his knapsack.
There was another:
Napoleon died in house on the
island Of st. Helena that was infested
with rats. TO the everlasting shame
of the allies, be it said, they stopped
to make his last days miserable. It
was the business of an Irish soldier
named Sullivan to scare away the rats
while the Little Corporal" lay on his
deathbed.
That Irish soldier was the GRANDPA
Their of Sir Arthur Sullivan. whose
music has -laddened more hearts than
Napoleon desolated
If Sullivan had written nothing but
1.-THE Lost Chord" he would have
soothed more souls Of mc<1 than Napo-
leon sent to their last account.
