We learn from DIR. E. A. Allen, of the
Department of English of the University
OF Missouri, that Shakespeare would
have been greatly pleased with the slang
OF today. Hamlet, he says, talked slang,
and he mentions that the Dane used the
expression ''pickers and stealers," that is
hands, or in the modern vernacular
lunch hooks Slang" says this edu-
Gator, lis part of language" Nodoubt,
but we wonder what would have been
the emotions of the immortal bard of
Avon if he had CHANGED on modern YER
sion of base ball game. For instance
suppose William had encountered such a
descriptive sentence as this: Casey
bumped the pellet for two and squeezed
another when McGrath aeroplaned the
Ozone When translated by fan the
foregoing simply means that Mr.. Casey
made two base hit and mana ged to get
to third base on fly by Mr.. McGrath
Such a statement is clear enough to a
modern newspaper reader, but we i'm
agine that it would have given the i'm
mortal William "pause."

Up Goes Price Of Shoes

And now the price of shoes is to take
lump; this, notwithstanding the favor
able action of Congress with reference
to hides as was incorporated in the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. The explana-
tion is made that it is not the tariff that
is at fault in this case, but that the adj
vance is due to the vegetarians, who are
getting back at the meat trust and to
the plutocratic automobile owners whose
luxurious tastes In the adornment ofther
machines required the hides of five hun
bred thousand cattle during the past
year.
There is just suspicion in our mind
that the increase in the price of shoes is
due to a desire on the part of the shoe
manufacturer to get a little more for their
goods and this without the least SEM
blance of necessity. This only proves the
saying that at is not hard to find an ex-
cuse when one wants one" Meantime
the consumer will pay the piper and we
shall soon get accustomed to high prices
for shoes while the manufacturers dine
and applaud their progressiveness and
their unselhsh motives.

CHAMPAGNE COOLER
IS CAUSE OF SUICIDE
Philippine Army Officer Resents
Wife's Giving Silver Article to
Another Man, Says
Inquest Report

MANILA, March 1.-THE military
inquest into the death of Lieut.. Clar-
ence NJ. Janney developed the fact that
a silver champagne cooler was the
cause of the final quarrel which led the
lieutenant to kill himself.
The cooler originally belonged to the
lieutenant, and according to the testi-
mony was given by Mrs. Janney to
Lieut.. Col. Robert f. Ames,
When the lieutenant and his wife
dined at the home of the Ameses last
Saturday night Janney saw and recog-
rized the cooler, whereupon he up
braided his wife for having given it
to Ames.
During the verbal exchange that fol-
lowed, the Lieutenant called Mrs. jan
ney a liar and insisted that she apollo
gize to him. The wife apologized and
orally thought by the other guests that
the incident was closed.
A little later, however, Janney left
the house. and returned with a re-
volver with which, according to the
coroner and a military board of In
quiry, he shot himself, in the presence
of those at the table. Mrs. Janney tes-
titled that her husband and Lieut.. Col.
Ames were intimate friends.
In army circles 1t is believed the
action of Mai. Gen. VIM. H. Carter,
commanding the department of Luzon,
I'm returning the report of the board OF
inquiry with a request that further
testimony be taken, means that
court martial is contemplated.

FOREIGN POLICY OF
JAPAN IS ATTACKED
M. OIshI, Leader Of Progressive Party,
Wants AntI-Japanese Move-
ment In Other Nations
Checked

TOXIC, March 17.-In the house OF
representatives, M. Oishi, leader of the
Progressive party, recently attacked
the foreign office. He said:
1.-THE emigration policy of the gov
ernment is negative. Our sphere OF
emigration should not be confined to
Manchuria alone, but should extend
to all parts of the world. The gov
ernment should make preparations to
check the anti-Japanese movement
abroad The alleged concentration of
our emigrants in Manchuria and Korea
is only subterfuge of the govern
ment which has failed to accomplish
what is properly within the rights of
this country"
Count Komura, foreign minister, re-
piled as follows:
Japan became continental nation
as the result of that great war We
have China with 400, 900. 900 people on
the west, Russia with 160,000,000 on the
north and America with 100,000,000 on
the east, so Japan with only 50000,OOO
people should concentrate rather than
scatter its population.
with this object in view. the gov
ernment intends to concentrate emil
grants in Manchuria and Korea"

JAPAN's AMBASSADOR KNOWS
NOTHING OF ALLEGED NOTE

WASHINGTON, d. c., March IL
The Japanese ambassador denied to-
day that he had any knowledge of the
existence of any note such as was re-
ferred to in newspaper publications to-
day regarding an agreement between
America and Japan to exercise a pre-
dominating influence over Chinese
Manchuria.
1t is surmised the basis for the pub
lication was the memoranda exchanged
by Secretary Root and Minister Taxa
hira in 1908. mutually guaranteeing the
open door in Manchuria and agreeing
to use their good offices to bring about
that, even IL antagonized by other ma
tions. State department officials pro-
fess to know nothing of such an agree
ment.

will be urged that they be adopted
for a period of five years.
According to the Worlds dispatches

standing, are as follows:
1. That a formal understanding, by
note or treaty, looking to the consoll,
dation and maintenance of the general
peace in Asia, especially along the Pa
cific shores, is advisable; the preserVa-
tion of common and mutual interests In
China by maintaining Chinese integrity

ton with the provisions Of the Anglo
Japanese alliance; the continued mann
tenance of the fisheries rights or both
countries in the regions of the Behrfns

cate with the other and they shall con-
slider in common the measures to be
taken to safeguard all menaced In

people. During the centuries preced-

the time of the Tudors they have been

pose of which was selfish exploitation,
not of the Irish people, but of the
dominant country. The result has been
that Irishmen have gone to other
countries.
