THE PUBLIC SCHOOL PAPER.

No. . Vol. L. Of the Egypt is out.
II comes in 4 new form this year,
that of the regulation newspaper in
stead of the magazine. 1t has all the
marks of an able corps or contributors
and OF a good mechanic. the former
being seen in the many newsy and
bright things expressed in type and
the latter in the generally neat ap
pearancc.
1t has a formidable editorial stan
comprising John A. HofheinZ. editor
in-chief; NJ. Laura Clendenen, literary
editor; Mrs. L. A. Miller, musical
editor: Anna Perez and Edward Hill
athletic editors; Georgia Perrault. ex-
cange editor Stuart d. Lewis, alumni
editor; Louise Berry and Ray
mond Franklin. literary society edi-
tors, and Ruth yesterday, Dwight
Ohrum. Mary Butler, Win Mcnamara,
Margaret DeBaun, Darrell Schulz
Dorothy Candee. Roberta Roberts,
Clinton Tanner and Arthur Turner
class reporters, There's plenty Of live
news, clever comment and choice bits
of wit to prove the ability Of this edi
torial array; and they have given the
paper a high tone in every depart
ment.
The business end Of the paper is
looked after by John T. Lynch, Jr,,
who is business manager and by Roy
Gadbois as circulation manager. These
two will see that the supply and de-
mand as represented in the weekly
pay roll are eQualiZed-a rather ser
ious piece of business sometimes in
newspaper estab' ishments as well as
in others.
The paper is being printed at The
Star office which may claim credit
for excellent work.

But the basic answer to the Ques-
ton, How does Japan manage to pay
DER bills?" can hardly be found in the
statistical table of her financial an
nual. The greatest asset OF our EN-
pire is sentimental. That our western
friends may see this fact clearly, per-
nit me to put il in the following man
ner: Let the government of the
United States go to Mr. Smith, in
Chicago, and Mr.. Brown in Wall
street, and say to them, You are re-
ceiying 100000 year income, and we
want you to give to the support of the
government in one form or another
$4,000 a year of your income.h' Let
the German government or the British
go to their people and say the same
thing, What would happen? A first
class revolution on the spot
The people of Japan are performing
the financial miracle of giving up
about 80 per cent of their net income
every day, without saying a word
about IT, In other words, the greatest
asset of the Japanese empire of today
is the patriotism OF her people. With
In % years, perhaps, at the rate OF
conquest western oommercialism and
the doctrine of individual rights are
making among our people, we shall be
as civilized as any other so-called
Christian nation. AS yet, however,
the state to the imagination of the
people of Japan is greater than all
the gods. The glorifcation of the
state is the Mecca of all our dreams.
We take very seriously all matters
connected with the state; so seriously
indeed, that We have no sense of hui
NOR about them. That Is the reason
why We caricature all of our eight
million gods in the pleasantest of
moods in the world, but would not
for moment permit any one to carl
cature his majesty the emperor This
also is the reason why we have no
graft in our government finance. And
that saves lot of money for our
country. Kinnosuke in Re-
view of Reviews.

PUT THEM OUT OF SIGHT.


1t is in order that the city author-
ties awaken without delay to the need
of some action that viii bring about
radical change in Cairo with re-
snect to the Red Light districts
That the demand for such action is
not confined to the editorial columns
of this paper can be easily learned by
any one who wishes to do so. There
is reason to believe that it is strong
in all parts of the city, and among
all classes Of people, without regard
to race, religion, politics or station
in life. This demand is 50 strong and
so universal because there are so
many good reasons in favor of a
change and none at all against Ii: but.
chiefly because the people of Cairo
want a Cleaner Cairo"
There are two streets in Cairo
which need to be cleaned out-Fifth
street and Thirteenth street. Not Il
day passes, not an hour on any pleas

man who looks like a stranger and
Offering an insulting invitation. The
number OF instances in which foolish
strangers have yielded and have been
robbed OF their valuables by these
women runs into scores; and there
are other scores of instances which
have never been heard Of, the victims
being only too glad to get out of town
without being known. Sometimes
when the police were complained to
a woman or two has been arrested,
fined. held in jail few days and
turned out again to resume their dirty
work seldom has the stolen money
or property been recovered: not in
frequently the victims have been met
with rough rebukes from the officers
and ordered to 60 home. 1t may be
admitted that grown men are not
biameless when they are caught IL
such filthy tolls, hut neither are the
city authorities blameless when they
permit these women to ply their filthy
trade and bring scandal upon the
city's fair name among strangers who

as are thrust upon them while here.

Doubtless such a move win mean

a corresponding enhancing of prop.

the street can be made habitable for
respectable people; but 1t can be done
by razing the present buildings to the
