HTGGING THE LIITELIGHT

Some statesmen are born with q talent
for keeping themselves in the limeight.
Governor Haskell of Oklahoma is one of
the most agile and resourceful of those
servants of the public who travel hot
footed after the calcium rays His motto
in politics is Out of sight, out of
mind There were times in his earlier
career as a promoter when he didn't OBJ
ject 10 temporary plunge into the
waters of oblivion. But having become
statesman he considers that day lost
on which he has done nothing capable of
being turned to account by an up-to-date
publicity bureau.
At the last Democratic National Con-
vention. where he was treated with ex-
traordinary Difference, due TO the mis-
taken assumption that he was an indig
enous disciple Of Jefferson. self-taught
in the seclusion OF the "squaw man"
country, and not an ex-dealer In securi-
ties in Wall Street which that thorough
fare had found to be more or less indi-
gestible, the Governor boldly bearded
"Oil King" Guffey. of Pittsburg and de-
manded the exclusion of Colonel Guffey's
Pennsylvania delegates Il have heard
oil kissing in the pipes before this"
he said when the friends of Guffey tried
to scare him off the platform. Yet it
appeared in the course of the Presiden-
tial campaign that Governor Haskell
himself had enjoyed friendly relations
with the great oil enterprise which
Colonel Guffey was charged with repre-
senting. He made quick exit from the
office of treasurer of the Democratic
National Committee after Mr. BRYAN
had decided that his continuance in that
capacity would be embarrassing to the
party Subsequently he kept himself
in the public eye by quarrelling with the
Attorney General Of the state. conduct

own adjutant general and being indicted

To every church in Chicago there are ten

of the Juvenile Protective Association
There are 7.155 saloons in the city. "A con-
sentative estimate Of the cost of maintain

bartendeTs and $500 for rent a year, making,
a total of $3.50. I. we multiply the Tbs
saloons by this amount we have a total of

of Chicago as 100000 dncluaing every man,
woman and child, then 1t is easy to be
seen that the cost per capita at this con-
sentative estimate. which does not include
any profit whatsoever, is IS a.

CENTRAL AMERICAN MEDIATION.

The request or demand of the Estra-
dist factioniSts in Nicaragua for the
mediation of the United States between
them and the partisans of Mr. Madriz,
coupled with the declaration that no
other mediation will be accepted. is
doubtless from one point of view compli-
mentary TO this country: but on the
whole we question its wisdom and its
potential advantage. alike TO Nicaragua
10 the Central American states at large
and 10 the United States Indeed, the
insistence are such as Central Ameri-
cans should be reluctant 10 give. seeing
that they constitute Il grave reproach
upon and Indictment of those countries,
and they are certainly such as the
United States should regard with regret
and positive aversion, since they imply
for this country the mourning of compli-
cations and obligations which it ought
not 90 be called upon to assume.
The natural and reasonable suggestion
that the mediation of the Central Ameri-
can International Court of Justice at
Carriage should be sought is rejected by
the Estradists partly because of lack OF
faith in its integrity, but chiefly because
of its lack Of physical power To enforce
its DEGREES. and American mediation is
demanded as Sj'tc qua non FOR The con
verse reason that this COUNTRY. not only
Possesses integrity above suspicion but
also has undoubted physical power to
make its findings effective. Now, that Is.

A NEW JAPANESE ALPH4BET.

After thirty years of experiment and
failure japanese scholars appear to
have succeeded in devising an alphabet
that may in course of time come TO take
the place of the Chinese characters In
which their language has been written
thus far. and which form one of the
chief difficulties in the path of the West
ern student. This alphabet contains.
first of all. the twenty-six letters of ours.
and in addition nineteen others, based
on Greek and Russian models. There il,
also. token to indicate the open vowel
sound and another which doubles the
value of consonants. Finally. most
elaborate system of accents above, be-
low and after the letters serves to indi-
cate notifications of pronunciation.
That the introduction of this alphabet
will greatly simplify the study of Jap.
anese by Credentials cannot be doubted.
Its weak point lies in the fact that it
gives 10 our letters sounds differing
widely from those we associate with
them, III. for instance, becoming A, and
p being pronounced Ko.
This reform is as yet only private
undertaking. without government recog
Eitien or support The propaganda of
the "Dokuritsu Bongaku" ("New Litera-
ture'D. as it is called, will be carried on
by the "Dokuritsu Bunhakkai." or New
Literature Society, which appeals to all
students of Japanese the world over for
funds to aid it in the execution of its
ambitious programme One of its EARL
of japanese literature from the old into
the new script, and, no doubt, the publ
cation of an organ of its own.
Before such an undertaking the activi-
ties Of our spelling reformers fade into
insignificance. 1t is typical of the mod
ern Japan.

to know how to get them and to have the
