WHICH rs WORSE?

There is evidently lots OF difference
between the Japanese woman and the
American woman, in their relations
to mine Lord and Master
If the male Japs had no more indie
pendence and spirit than their wonen
folk, as shown by a s%ubjoined extract
from a series Of interesting articles
by R. Van Bergen in the New Or
leans Scribe, they would play a poor
part in c~onquering nations like China
and Russia.
The men Of Japan have evidently
cinched all the "scrapping' qualities
Of the nation.
And the fact does not bode well.
True a woman should be a woman.
Her place is home, with her children,
attending to. the household duties.
just as the function Of the man is to
be out and hustling for a living for
the woman and the children.
While the lot Of the husband who
has to live under the burden of 4
wife who thinks nothing of home,
but who devotes her time to the card
table and other frivolties, is a hard
one, we imagine that the lot Of the
Japanese woman, who has to 60 down
on her knees when her husband claps
his hands three times, and say 'hai,
hail" is entirely more burdensome.
We feel for many American hus-
bands, who are yoked with frivolous
wives.
We feel for the women Of Japan,
who are yoked with a~utocratic hus-
bands.
The extract from Prof. Van Ber-
gems letter follows:
Childhood, as we understand it,
there is none in Japan. Duty is the
watchword, from the moment the
embryo intellect begins to work. The
position of the wife and mother in
the family has much to do with this.
She is simply the upper servant Of
her husband, waits on him at the
and, among the upper classes,
never shares in his repasts. The
husband is autoerat; three claps Of
bis hands bring his wife to the door,
she kneels down and awaits his
commands, interfering hal, hal! Eyes,
7esD, thereby showing that she is
listening and will execute them"

coded, political sentiment throughout
the country showing a decided trend
IL that direction. says the Shreveport

correspondents are already making
estimates of the size Of the Democra-
tic majority in the House. The way
one Of them sizes up the next House

will have to be revised downward, al
though the result Of the Maine cleo
ton would indicate an even larger

JOHN 1. SULLIVAN ON
 THE FOURTH OF JULY.

1t Is the duty of every man to cele- brate day like this and to buy fire works for his family. 1 am in favor of allowing the children to set part of them of in the morning of the Fourth. for nobody knows how a boy suffers if he has f1recrackers and can't set them of.
 No country can celebrate a day as well as we can. We. have got more money than anybody else. and we cer- tainly have got enough speakers.
 l suppose there are a hundred thou sand men thinking up Fourth of July speeches at this minute. and 1t is not too many. hope every one of those men will remind the boys who listen to him that this is the greatest country on earth and that it can lick any other.
 That is the great truth to keep ham, mering home. Confidence in yourself and confidence in your own country should be every Americans motto, and while he has that motto he can laugh at kings and tyrants, because he knows they stand no living chance.
 As for the so called Americans that bow down to English royalty and turn up their pants without any cause. l have no excuses to make for them. They are unworthy of their country, and, while l have known dudes that could put up a pretty good fight in a corner, 1 advise no man to rely on them.
 A md old, is to be patriotic all the time.s Yell for your country and think of George Washington every time firecracker goes on. Invite your friends to share with you in moderation whatever you have and, without being boisterous, re- mind every foreigner you see that America can lick his country. which ever it is. This drives the foreigners to naturalization. which is only right. and 1t keeps the sacred flame of patri- otism alive.
 As a matter of fact, this is the only country on earth, for If China is big ger it makes no difference. It takes all the good in hundred Chinamen to make a bad American. anyhow, and. besides. they don't know what to eat.
 The Russian nation is big, but it is a mixed up crowd. I'm told they sleep on stoves, and there isn't day in any week that we couldn't lick Russia.
 The other nations don't count. Ire land is too small. and. besides. Ireland is a part of America. The Germans and the French can speak foreign lan- guages. but fighting is not in their line and never has been Tn all history you cannot find even good middle weight among the French. What is more, they fight with their feet. and, as poor old Toppy Mcguire used to say, man that will fight with his feet will think with them.-John L. Sullivan in New York World.
