TREATY TOASTED
AT ASIATIC CLUB
Sulzer DenOunces Jingoism
in This Country.

Special to The Washington Herald.
New York. April 25-In many bumpers.
renewed pledges of lasting friendship
between Japan and the United States
were made tonight by Baron Y. Uchida.
the Japanese Ambassador; Secretary of
State Philander c. Knox. and Repre-
sentative William Sulzer, chairman Of
the House Committee on Foreign At
fairs. at the thirteenth annual dinner OF
the American-Asiatic Society at Del
rnonico's.
The trio named were special guests
of the society to celebrate particularly
the recent ratification of the new treaty
between the United States and japan.
Seth Low. president of the society, pre-
sided. A plea for peace characterized
utterances of all the speakers.
4 telegram from President Taft was
loudly cheered. The treaty so recently
negotiated and ratified said the Presi-
dent, is an additional guarantee Of the
friendship which has so long existed be-
tween the two countries a friendship
so strong that we can well regard with
complacence even the mischevious and
malicious rumors so persistently circu-
lated by friends of neither government,
and which SO utterly lack foundation
in fact
Secretary Knox and Ambassador Uchida
denounced the jingoes of both countries
as firebrands, as did Representative Sui
zer.
Mr.. SulZer responded to the toast,
Peace, friendship. and good will be-
tween Japan and the United States" :
The relations between Japan and the
United States are now, ever have been,
and l hope ever will be, peaceful and
friendly" he said. There Is not cloud
that now darkens the sky Of their mutual
goodwill. Japan and the United States
are friends, and must ever be friends
in the interest Of peace and Of progress
and Of civilization.
War between the United States and
Japan is preposterous and unthinkable,
and those who make the wish father to
the thought are not in sympathy with
the spirit OF the times. and do a great
injustice to the intelligent and patriotic
people of both countries

life was the theme of an address by
Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett. president Of

sion, delivered last night at the annual
commencement exercises of the Florence
Crittenton Training School, 21S Third
street northwest.
Mrs. Barrett spoke on the subject, I'm
conscious influence" and said that this,
after all. was the real personality.
Whenever We hear of a person OF the
Jekyll and Hyde character" said the
speaker. ''it is shown that such person
has been able to make a successful bluff,
and when exposed. the people who were
acquainted with him begin to realize that
they always thought there was some
thing wrong with that character"
William STRIPPING. the murderer, whom
Gov. Brown. of Georgia, refused to par
don few days ago. was not a murderer
at heart. said Mrs. Barrett. THE mur-
der he committed was an unrelated act
TO his character, and was not exponent
Of his true self. for it was committed
while in sudden passion. and showed in
his years of good living afterward that
he was sorry for his act"

Work OF Investigation ofCity

Mrs. Victor Berger, who yesterday COM
pleted her first inspection tour of the

last night said that the real investigation
would not begin until after her return
from Milwaukee,, where she will spend
the next few weeks
My visit to-day was not official" she
said. Il went with Miss Henley, of the
Ludlow School. TO the Ludlow and Webb
schools, and to the school for detectives.
I remained for short time in the kinder
garten. first and second, and fifth and
eighth grades, in order to get my first
idea of the workings OF the primary, in
termediate, and grammar schools here.
also visited several manual training and
cooking classes.
by brief glance at the schools to-day
could not justify me n drawing any
conclusions in regard to methods of in
struction or administration here. In
deed, so far as / know, everything may
be done here just as it is in Milwaukee
An investigation of school system calls
for a large amount of hard work and
after I return from my trip home I
shall be able to give the necessary time
to it. I saw nothing out of place to-day
in my short tour. Whether or not there
may be any recommendations that I
could make I shall not know until I
have given the situation the study 1t
deserves"

A Word for a Man in Prison.

A few days ago Gov. Brown, Of
Georgia, refused to pardon man named
Stripping The case was an unusual
one. Stripping killed man whom he
claimed had invaded the sanctity of his
home. He escaped from the officers of
the law and for fourteen years led an
upright life. He was faithful, industri-
ous, and honest, supporting his family
and rearing his children. Finally rec
ognized, he was arrested and carried
back to Georgia The effort to save
him from imprisonment failed, because
of the position assumed by the governor,
who said:
'One of the most dangerous evils men,
acing our institutions is lawlessness The
mob executing in wild disorder its vic
tim and the individual wreaking his own
revenge for wrongs real or imaginary,
the man or interest treating with con-
tempt the laws of the land and trusting
to gold or influence for safety, are
striking manifestations of this spirit of
lawlesSneSs."
The language cannot be said to fit the
case The man certainly does not appear
to have exhibited spirit Of anarchy or
lawlessness. On the contrary, he has not
only been law-abiding, but, as a chief of
police. was faithful in prosecuting law
breakers Leaving all this out of con-
sideration, however, it is a question
whether the fourteen years of rectitude
did not entitle him to some degree of
leniency. Justice which is not tempered
with mercy may easily become injustice.
Law is established, not so much for
punishment and vengeance as to preserve
society, and if the offender can be re-
claimed there is distinct value to the
community in the achievement In fact,
the parole system is regarded everywhere
as wise adjunct to the court
The administration of the law is fire.
quently a perplexing problem. Gov.
Brown undoubtedly acted according to
his best judgment One cannot but
think, however, that action less stern and
Puritanic would have suficed for the
ends of justice, and that fourteen years of
reparation was an asset in favor of
a man whose crime, after all, seems to
have had some degree of justification.

a system all his own. He know, that his
government will provide the display and
then he proceeds to fill his own pockets
with all the guineas which curious
crowd will contribute. He puts high
value, too, upon everything he has to
rent or sell. The advertisements indi-
cate his grasping soul. For instance,
the price which is charged for a single
window along the line of the procession
would almost buy house and lot in
Pennsylvania avenue. The residences
which are offered are numerous. Here
is one which may be had for $1,000 a
week:
To be let for a week or fortnight, dur
ing the coronation, 50 Eaton place, Lon
don. S.. w., within ten minutes of
Buckingham Palace-Beautifully fur
nished, ten bedrooms, bathroom, three
reception rooms; full staff of servants !;
plate and linen; 200 pounds per week
Apply Secretary, 83 Eaton place, Lon
don, S. w.
Or, if a paltry $1,000 is not enough,
here is one for S1,75o, which is quite
attractive:
Coronation week-To let, furnished
house in central London square; four
sitting. seven bed, two bath; servants
accommodation rent for week, including
plate, linen, and FIVE servants, $50
guineas. G. D., New York Herald,
Northumberland avenue, London, Eng
land.
Suppose the Washington people should
attempt to take advantage of the inaugu-
ration in this fashion, what a chorus of
protest would be heard!

Mr.. MEYER WANTS
INCIDENT CLOSED
Secretary Writes Letter to
Congressman Korbly.

Secretary Meyer has written a letter to
Congressman Korbly in regard to the
Naval Academy incident, in which he
says that the dance was a private sub
scription hop, paid for by the cadets. He
adds:
The incident is closed as far as the
Navy Department is concerned, and it
would seem due to the young lady and
her family that they be spared the an
noyance of further publicity"
When seen last night, at his home,
Representative Korbly said:
II have not yet received Mr.. Meyers
letter, and until have time to read it
and examine the memorandum in the
case, / shall not make any statement"

Josephus on His Travels.

We find upon the editorial page of our
esteemed contemporary, the Raleigh
News and Observer, the evidence of a
journey through North Carolina. 1t is
modestly signed 81. D." In any court
of law this would be accepted as unde-
niable testimony that Josephus Daniels
is hiding his light under a bushel
Long, long ago, ere even our friend
Josephus began to sway the destinies of
nations, he had namesake. Heaven for
bid, however, that we should compare
the discredited and altogether unreliable
history of the ancient Josephus with the
veracious and inspiring chronicle which
is now offered for our entertainment and
instruction. There is emphatic assevera-
ton in the first paragraph. "If you want
to know North Carolina at its very
heart" says Josephus, you must leave
the main lines and thoroughfares and
turn aside into the quiet rural sections
and see the people in their daily lives in
its rural communities"
Josephus has turned. He has left the
madding crowd, the busy narts, and the
whirligigs of pleasure in Raleigh and has
dwelt for a time among the simple folk
whom he loves so we'll His destination
was town with the euphonious name of
Bum Josephus and Bum seem to have
much in common. He tells US so him.
self 81 have always had a particularly
warm place in my heart" he tenderly
conhdes to the readers of the News and
Observer, "for the people of Franklin
County, who, in the real virtues of life
and its amenities, set an example for all
other people" The soul of Josephus,
finding peace in the town of Bum, thrills
with new emotion. And yet, amid all
the quietness and sweetness of the truly
rural, there is a touch of metropolitan
hope THE air is all astir," writes Jo-
sephus. with the expectation that this
is to be a great town" Alas, that the
serpent has entered Eden! Perhaps the
people of Bum may yet be tempted to
eat the apple of progress, and then the
flaming sword will be at their very gates
We trust that the travels of Josephus
will not come to an untimely end. If
he will wander over to Asheville and
sip the savory julep on the porches Of
the Battery Park Hotel, while his poetic
soul revels in the beauties of the land
scape,. or meander down to Wilmington
and satisfy his gastronomic tastes with
a fish dinner, we may expect poetic
worthy of the theme Perhaps,
however. he scorns these Grass and ma
terial things The simple hoecake and
the plebeian bacon of. the country dis
trcts may be his chosen portion. At any
rate, we await his further journeys
through the Tar Heel State with impa-
tient soul. and in the meantime may an
increasing number of subscribers in the
town of Bum give him substantial Joy.

FARMERS FREE LIST BILL
CAUSES ANIMATED DEBATE
Minority Leader Mann Makes Good Speech in Oppo
sition to Measure Fathered by Majority
Leader Underwood

The farmers free list bill held the
center Of the stage in the House of
Representatives yesterday. and will con-
tinue to do so for the next week or ten
days. Dozens of members on both sides
of the chamber have demanded time in
which to discuss the measure, and there
is no disposition on the Democratic side
to cut short the debate.
Majority Leader Underwood. Minority
Leader Mann. Representative Gardner,
of Massachusetts. and several other
''spellbinders" talked yesterday. Mr. Un-
derwood had a good audience, but Mr..
Mann received fattering attention and is
admitted on both sides of the chamber
to have made a good speech for the
opposition. To the delight of his COL
leagues, it was anything but profound in
spots.
Discussing the iniquities OF the Demo-
Gratis, Mr. Mann called special attention
to the fact that their bill puts sausage
on the free list, but leaves a tax on
dogs-the raw material"
Several Democrats solemnly arose and
wanted to know If Mr.. Mann had inside
information of the composition of sau-
sages.
Mo- replied Mr.. Mann, with equal
gravity; II don't know what they do put
in 'em-Tve never been abl. to find out"
Asks PerpIexins Question.
Then the minority leader turned to the
Democratic side and made one Of his
very polite bows.
Pray" he said, "can any one over
there tell me what a prepared cereal food
is?"
After waiting a moment for reply
that didn't come, Representative Mann
began to score the Democrats on the
vagueness and indefiniteness of many
items in the bill. He first referred to
the section putting all prepared cereal
foods" on the free list. Said he:
I'VE all know. or at least believe, that
many breakfast foods are prepared
cereal foods But what about macaroni? ?
Did the Democratic members of the
Ways and Means Committee consider
that We got over s1,000,000 revenue from
maearoni and vermicelli last year,"
Representative Gardner. Of Massachu-
setts, interrupted.
II would like to have the gentleman's s
opinion he said, "as to whether or not
distilled rye or corn are prepared cereal
foods
Before Mr. Mann could answer. Repre-
sentative Ollie James, the Kentucky
giant, jumped out of his chair. The
House was enjoying itself hugely.
Anybody who has ever drunk good
Kentucky whisky" he rumbled, knows
that 1t is not a food
Both Food and Drink.
"Ah, har' cried Mr. Mann. "and yet
I have known Kentuckians who regarded
it as both food and drink"
The Washington herald., 1911-04-26

There was more laughter and applause,
and Representative Stanley. of Kentucky,
defender Of mellowed goods at the time
the pure food law was under consi6era-
ton by the House, jumped to his feet.
The people who drink whisky made in
Peoria. M he declared with an ex-
preston Of disgust on his face. Seldom
know anything at all afterward"
Mr.. Mann. after the racket had died
away, admitted frankly that he thought
there was good deal of truth In what
Mr.. Stanley had said
But aside from this outburst of foolish
ness. Mr.. Mann's speech was a careful
analysis of what he termed the "ab-
surdities" of the free list bill. He de-
clared the measure to be extremely in
definite. and cited Agricultural imple-
ments" as another instance where the
Democrats had failed to make 1t clear to
what implements the free list Is to ap-
ply
What are agricultural implements? p"
asked Mr.. Mann. DO thev include hor-
ticultural implements? Do they include
market garden implements? 1 suppose
every one believes that a moving ma
chine is an agricultural implement But
Is wheelbarrow?
I have heard many gentlemen on that
farmers friends, because each one
says. I am a farmer myself Yet not
one or them knows what an agricultural
implement is. Now, l am an asrtcul-
turfst myself. To me an ak is an agrt-
cultural implement. I cannot run nv
farm without an ak. Are axes agricul-
tural implements? Are they to come in
free?"
Farmer Needs a Hat.
Can the gentleman run his farm with
out hat?" Mr.. Stanley inquired.
oh" replied Mr.. Mann. II go bare
headed-not quite 50 much bareheaded as
the gentleman from Kentucky. however,"
And the House laughed as Mr.. Stanley
stroked his shining dome
The bill places farm wagons and farm
carts" on the free list So Mr.. Mann
demanded to know if the Treasury De-
partment was to follow up the wagon or
cart imported to see IL the farmer used
IL IN the country or in town, and IL in
town If the duty was collected there
and then, whenever he was found.
Representative Dalzell, of Pennsylvania,
yesterday submitted the report of Re-
publican members of the Ways and
Means Committee on the free list bill
The report is signed by Representative
Payne, of New York; Dalzell of Penn
sylvania: Mccall. of Massachusetts; Hill,
of Connecticut; Needham, of California;
Fordney, of Michigan, and Longworth, of
Ohio.
1t is asserted that the bill was ordered
reported not only without Investigation.
but without the semblance of considera-
ton by the committee, and that 1t would
reduce revenue by more than $10.0Oo,0 900.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY

Germany, in 1915. The first daily in
Paris was established in IN. The
first one in England appeared
March II, 17O2, and was called the
Daily Courant. The publisher was
''E. Mallet," and II Is very inter-
esting to know that the "E-" stood
for Elizabeth, and that therefore
the publisher Of the first daily paper
in the English language was
woman. The paper consisted OF
single page Of two columns, and II
contained very little except the
foreign news. There was no edi-
to-ial department. the publisher

other people to have sense enough
