A JAPANESE amuck.sAkER."

The current number of the Literary Digest under the rather ungenerous title. "Japans Veneer of Civilization" quotes Dr. .Tanaka Masahira 10 the effect that After 70 years of contact with Occidental civilization, the Jap anese have but it's leather and pru- neiia" without it's spiritual and intel lectual power. He complains that while the Japanese have been apt i'm itators in adopting tine military, leg islative and education systems of Western peoples, they have neglected essentials, and that the inside of this newly developed civilization is weak and poor.
 Dr. Masahira insists that dazzled and captivaUed by the superficial things, the Japanese have initiated rather than appropriated or absorbed. It has been mimiery rather than adop- ton. It has been a physical rather than an intellectual infatuation.
 This Oriental philosopher complains that literature and religion are neg lected for pleasure and the pursuit of wealth
 As a sidelight on this newly ac- quired civilization the following lines present the tboughtfiil OrientaIs point of View
 Tn contemplating the direction in which the modern Japanese civiliza- ton has developed or progressed, one observes that it has chiefly cen cerned itself with the economic equip ment and development of the country. or the enriching of the nation and strengthening of her naval and mili- tary forces. all the other matters be ing left uncared-for. But the activity of the nation and the policy of the administration seem to betray their anxiety lest their efforts directed toward the accomplishment of this one object should suffer a setback And if there happens to be a man who breaches such things as intellectual development. not only will he be left unsupported, but he will not infre quently be sneered at or looked down upon by his fellow men. Men who do not talk Of business and discuss indsutrial questions gre nowadays re- garded as being below the average in- telligence and unfit to be numbered among the civilized. Not that 1 make light of business, but it is truly dangerous sign of the times that the whole energy and attention of the nation should be concentrated upon that one particular branch of human activity"
 One finds himself deeply sympathiA- ing with this savant. who deplo.es the fact that nation of grown-up children who loved art and flowers and literature. people who had taken time to be polite and courteous and poetic. should have plunged into the mad race for getting money and power by the means in vogue in coun- tries that have never taken time to enjoy life as life.

f FQmal Opening Yesterday of Georgia Gubernatorial
 Fight.

ATLANTA Ga. oet. 2e.--N hat promises to be one Of the hottest fights for the governorship that Georgia has seen in years was form allys launched here today when the state democratic executive committee met to fix the date and make other arrangements for the state primaries to choose the successor of Governor Iioke Smith, who resigns next month co assume his duties as United States senator. lt is generally expected that the committee will select the second week of December as the time for holding primaries.
 There are three leading candidates in the race for the governship. They are former Governor Joseph M. Brown former state treasurer ]. Pope Brown and Richard B. Russell, judge Of the court of appeals. This is Joseph M. Browns third race for governor. He defeated Hoke Smith for q second term in 1908. and in 1910 was defeated for a second term by Smith. His entry into the present contest has aroused the fighting blood of the Smith adherents who look on his candidacy as part of a plan of former Governor Terrell and the old machine to gain control Of the GeOr- gia democracy and defeat Smith when he goes before the people for reelection as the United States sen ator.
 The prohibition issue Is expected to figure prominently in the campaign Judge Russell is 10 make the race on a local option platform. while ]. Pope Brown is a supporter of the present statewide prohibition law Former Governor Brown straddles the pro hibition question.

WILL GENERAL DIAz
 RETURN 10 MEyICOl

ST LOUIS. Mo. Oct 26.-That Por- firio Diaz. former president of the republic Of Mexico. and now living In exile. suffers to such an extent from homesickness that his health is being undermined. was the state ment Tuesday Of Juan A. Navarro, of the City of Mexico, who is in St. Louis.
 Navarro is a personal friend of the deposed ruler. and based the statement upon letters which have been received from members Of the Diaz family at their present home in Paris, France,
 ''The shock of leaving his coun. try and having to live abroad might not have had so much effect upon a younger man. said Navarro. But Diaz is an old man, with eighty-twO years behind him. and at that time of life it doesn't take much 10 up- set the balance Of health.
 '-The trip abroad Of the Diaz fam ily has been one disappointment af- ter another. The president was ex- ceedingly anxious to yisIt Spain, both because his own language Is spoken there. and because of the close association Of that country with the history and development Of Mexico.
 Members of the socialist party in Spain. however. began to act so disagreeably about the matter and there were such prospects of tron- ble should the visit be made that Diaz reluctantly decided not to en. ter Spain. Having to go Co a coun- try which does not use his language was painful to the aged president, and his dissatisfaction and longing to return to Mexico have been in- creasing daily.
 Some day, if he lives long enough, Diaz will return to Mexico. He has been one Of her greatest men, as everyone must admit, and personally I don't believe that his coming back in the role o1 a private citizen will meet with the slightest opposition.
 At present. Of course, he feels obliged 10 stay in Europe for a time and not embarrass the current of tAttilS MlNu HIS fINorliIt III tHt Hu' settled republic But later. unless age and grief have killed him first he will return.
 fit was Diaz's advanced age which was responsible for this whole sit. uation. As his years increased. he depended more and more upon his friends for the administration of the government, and the friends were responsible for it's downfall
 Letters from the Diaz family state frankly that his longing to re turn 10 Mexico. and his fretting have seriously affected his health The family are much concerned.
 "Madero is a sincere and honest man, and the revolutions success ful end was largely due 10 him. do not believe, however, that he is 8 big enough man 10 cope with the situation. and I doubt if his friends will be much more agreeable to the general public than were those oi President Diaz"

HOW WASHINGTON WAS MADE
 UP"

In the hall of the house of represen- tatiyes is a painting of George Wash ington. He looks a most commanding person, with the stature of a giant. and a fauitiess physique But looking at the portrait recently a public man commented.
 That is a good deal of a shami George Washington never looked like that, though I've no doubt he would have been proud 10 appear so mag nificent
 Notice the legs" the speaker con tinued; they are perfect beauties. But they are not Washingtons They are the legs Of General Smith of New Jersey. a soldier of the Revolution.
 Tt happened this way" he ex- plained. in conclusion; Washington had quite unimpressive legs. and the artist who painted that picture was so dissatissatisfied with their shape that he persuaded General Smith to lend his faultless members as mod els. So. while we have a face and torso of our great first president, the supporting legs are those Of one of his generals. Long may they stand. Washington Post.

It stood out aggressively, as did his untrimmed whiskers-
 On top of his head was a small derby hat. incOngruous in size and shape. After he had eaten heartily Of oatmeal and cream and ham and eggs. the farmer got up courage to ask him # he would work, as he was short-handed for the threshing that day.
