THE WORD "BANzAI.'
II Has Been Used In Japan From chs
Earliest Aces.

Earliest Ages.
II is not infrequent to find men spec
ulatiug as TO the origin Of the now fa.
millar "banzai." and we believe that a
general impression classes this excel
lent ejaculation among the inventions
Of modern Japan. Quite recently In
deed we heard learned japanese de.
clare that the late Professor Toyama
was the originator of the word ms the
japanese equivalent of "hurrah." But
the truth is that "banzai" belongs to
very much remoter date. History
shows that it was used certainly as
long ago as the year 4S0 A. d.. aud
probably Ii was not an innovation
even then. In the Chronicles Of ia.
pan" work published IN the yenr
$50 A. d., It is related that In the
spring of 1876 A. d. the Emperor
Woke, remembered by posterity as
Keno, Tenno," repaired to the park
of the summer hall and there held
revel by "the winding streams" His
guests were n concourse of ministers
and of high officials known at that
epoch under the titles OF Omi. Muraji
and Miyakko. When the feast was ut
It's height the guests, we read, raised
repeated cries of banZai." 1t may
fairly be assumed that this formula
Of graduation did not originate then.
but at any rate its undoubted use In
Japan more than fourteen centuries
ago deprives any NELL savant OF the
credit Of having invented it.-Japan

his overcoat. He had just reached the

The battle to Continue

Mr.. Lawrence has already formulat-
ed the . ans for the organization of a
$500, 900 stock company for the publ
cation of a daily paper in Birming-

erature urging a close compact of HE
followers in order that there may be
no break in the lines when the cam
paign opens.
Just what proportion of the church,
forces will follow Mr.. Lawrence into
the Anti-Saloon League Party cannot
be figured at this time. but there is no
denying the power and influence OF the
ministry now pledged to his support.
and the opening OF the pulpits for his
campaign, as has recently been DEM

campaign against which the Democ-
racy will have no child's play to reck-
on with 1t is a prestige no other POI

fore obtained in the history of this

A BROAD VIEW,

Though strictly Republican in its
politics. The KANSAS City Journal has
little tolerance for those of its faith
who object to the statue of General
Lee in the national capitol. ut Is to
be regretted" The Journal says. "that
the opposition of the Grand Army of
the Republic to placing the statue of
General Lee In the Capitol by the
State OF Virginia should have COM
PEELED the Virginia delegation to post
pone Indefinitely the formalities at
tending the acceptance of the statue
by Congress. 1t is only sixteen
months less than a full half century
since Fort Sumter was fired upon and
the unhappy collision between the
sections was precipitated. The ami
mosities engendered by that terrific
struggle are, in the nature Of things,
slow In the eradication, but already
so many suspicious steps have been
taken toward healing forever the
wounds OF the war between the States
that the controversy over the Lee
statue is peculiarly deplorable."
The Journal then calls attention to
the fact that Congress has nothing
but technical authority In connection
with the matter. Each State selects
two men whose statues it gives to be
placed in the Hall, and while Congress
can formally accept them. or refuse to
do so. It cannot forbid their location
Virginia" adds The Journal, "se-
iected George Washington and Rob-
ert E. Lee. Acting within the prov
