claim this is religious designation, and
has no place in our official literature.

are Russians, just as those who go out
of this country are Americans, and not

The English Parliamentary struggle
has taken the people into one of those
logical tangles to which our race is so
addicted. The Liberals claim that the
House of Lords, by refusing to accept
the budget, have placed themselves in
the attitude of defeating the will of the
people as expressed by the more popu-
lar branch. The Conservatives, on the
other hand, insist that the House of
Lords, being coordinate and concur
ring body, has just as much right to
reject as to concur. 1t would be a logi-
cal and parliamentary fallacy to as
sumo that the House of Lords only ex-
isted for the purpose of registering the
action of the Lower House. The Lib
erals position is very strong when they
assert that the House of Commons. rep
resenting the people and expressing
their will, determined upon a course
of action which was prevented by the
other House, who represent only priv
ilege. If the Liberals are victorious in
the coming election, which it seems al
together likely, it will be assumed that
the House of Lords is practically abol-
ished, since it will have been decided
that it's concurrence in the action of
the House is not necessary. 1t is hard
Iy likely that this will be the case, as it
is too radical for the precedent-Ioving
English The greater probability is
that there will be some such reforma-
ton in the House of Lords that will
bring it nearer to our Senate, with the
majority in it chosen in some way
which will better represent the people
than by the mere accident of birth.

JAPAN ON THE VERGE OF BANK
RUPTCY.

The sorrowful condition of Japan's
finances is the best answer to the
alarmists who are perpetually getting
up war scares about Japan taking the
Philippines and Hawaii and attacking
the Pacific Coast. The financial condi-
ton of the country is the source of the
keenest alarm to all japanese thinkers.
Japan went gallantly into a war with
great and rich Nation, and her people
showed the most admirable courage
and fortitude in the grapple with her
enormous antagonist, but wars cannot
be waged by courage and loyalty alone,
They are insatiate devOurers of mill
lions of money. The result was that
Japan was left with a National debt,
the interest of which is 100, 900, 900 yen,
or S50,000,000 year. Everything in
the country was taxed to the breaking
point, and this will have to continue
for an indefinite number of years to
come. The taxation is so heavy that it
prostrates agriculture and manufacture
ing, and there is loud clamor for re-
lief which cannot be undertaken unless
Sic utIduiiS oii licI litcIcSl pay IlltHlS-
The opposition press speaks out very
frankly that unless relief comes the
fate of the Empire is sealed. In order
to maintain her credit, Japan must keep
her payments up to European coun-
tries and to this one, from which she
borrowed money At the same time
great amounts of money are needed in
order to build railroads in Manchuria
and elsewhere to take advantage of the
expansion of her markets. which the
japanese hoped for when they entered
upon the war. and from which alone
they can get relief. The receipts of the
custom house were mortgaged as last
resort, and these have fallen off terribly
on account of the inability of the Jap
anese people to buy abroad. Men of
capital keep their money idle. because
there is no hope of profitable invest
ment in commercial and shipping enter
prises. 1t is claimed that, contrary to

A. II. Sanders, who is an authority on
cattle and livestock. says that Ameri-
can beef cattle are the healthiest in
the world. and that only a desire to
palm off the inferior home meats makes
the European authorities discriminate
against them. The advance in the price
of land has had an important influence
in raising the cost of meat. and the
high price of corn has also contributed
greatly toward that end. With corn at
65 cents the cattle breeders of the West
claim that they cannot make money
even at the present prices. Mr.. Sanders
charges the retailers with soaking" the
people. The packers do not make
money out of the beef, but out of the
byproducts. and consequently they are
willing to have reasonable prices pre-
vail which will keep beef moving. They
are willing to sell beef at little or no
profit, so as to obtain the byproducts
upon which to make profit.

Only one death occurred during the

value Of S69,S67.71. The farming oper-

large crops were raised on the 284
acres under cultivation. Hogs were

FIand-Painted Slippers.

Here is good news for the artistic
girl. Let her get out her paint tubes
and set to work on painting kid slip
pers to match her summer frocks. A
white kid slipper Of the latest vogue
Is adorned with painted forget-me-
nots. Naturally small blossoms are
the best to select for reproduction, but
some Of the larger flowers might be
conventionalized and worked up into
good slipper subjects.
Very artistic, too, are the slippers
of brocade outlined with dull gold or
silver threads. The cloth-of-steeI slip
pers are equally pretty and may be
worn with gown Of almost any color.
Black velvet pumps are one Of the
novelties Of the summer for wear with
lingerie gowns. By the way, the new
pumps have ankle straps which make
them much more comfortable than the
old models, which kept slipping off.
Laced sandals will be used for dress
shoes. They are fascinating and have
a tendency to decrease the size Of the
foot because the toes are short.

Wishing to depict a tragic episode
with something of it's real horror, it
arranged for the photographing Of a
scene which was to end with the
crashing Of a horse and vehicle over a
precipice, and % this end it was quite
prepared to sacrifice an ancient We
hicle and an equally ancient horse.
A suitable precipice was found at

which was involved to the animal,

from their quiet resort.
The operators, however, simply
moved on few miles, this time to
Ploemeur, and at this spot the horse
and vehicle were made to dash over
a precipice, photographs of the spec
tacle being taken The horse was OF
course killed and the vehicle smashed
to pieces.
When it was all over the police ap-
peared and served summonses on
those concerned.
For long time the summonses could
not be heard, the operators having
gone to Africa to find another sensa-
tional picture. Finally, however, the
case came on before the Lorient police
court, and the judge, whose comments
were more caustic than the punish.

vided by the Grammont law, which,
however, was only matter of three
dollars.
The cinematograph company was
declared responsible for the costs,
while the photographer who actually
took the photographs was acquitted.
