Japanese custom. as q final tribute to
their departed Emperor and friend,
Mutsuhito.
The death by their own hands Of the
famous General and his wife was rs
dramatic as il was sad. The General
cut his throat with a short sword and
the Countess committed hara-kiri.
Following the Samurai custom, the

10 their modest home in Akasaka. a
suburb Of Toxic. and there began their
final preparations for death.

First, the General wrote a letter to
his new Emperor. Yoshihito. which
later was found beside his body. Then
he draped in mourning a portrait on
the wall of the late Emperor. and after
ward he and his wife dressed them
selves in full Japanese costume and
drank a farewell cup Of sake from cups
which had been presented to them by
Mutsuhito.
Darkness had fallen and General Nogi
aud the Countess sat and awaited the
signal they had agreed upon to an.
nounce their leave.taking. This was
the booming Of a single q in the
palace grounds at Toxic, which was to
let the people know that the body OF the
Emperor was starting on the funeral
car for its last resting place.
As the boom of the gun resounded
through the clear night. General Nogi
arose.. aud, grasping in his hand a short
sword. plunged it into his throat. while
the Countess stabbed herself through
the body. A student who resided in
the Nogi home heard the fall of the
bodies and rushed into the room.
Lying upon the floor were the hero
OF Port Arthur and his wife. Both still
were breathing, but their spasmodic
gasps showed plainly that death was
near. The student hurried for aid, but
when he returned both the General and
the Countess were dead.

THE RECALL OF DECISIONS.

It is a matter of almost general
knowledge in national political cir
cles that for many years Theodore
Roosevelt had more respect for the
opinions of Elihu Root, the senior
United States senator from New
York, than he had for the opinions
of any one except himself. His ad-
miration for the judgment of Mr..
Root dated back to the New York
Republican state convention for the
year 1898. 1t was this convention
that nominated Mr.. Roosevelt for the
governorship of the Empire state
Prior to the assembling of the con-
vention, a serious question was raised
as to the eligibility of Mr.. Roosevelt
to be governor of New York. His
right to citizenship in the state was
challenged. On accepting the post of
assistant secretary of the navy, some
four years before that time, and TAX
ing up his residence in Washington,
Mr. Roosevelt swore off his taxes in
New York state on the ground that
he was not then a resident of the
state. The delegates to the conven-
ton were not in a mood to nominate
Mr.. Roosevelt with any such doubt as
to his eligibility in existence. Even
the late Tom PIatt and his lieutenants,
who were debating the nomination of
Mr. Roosevelt, were reluctant to go
ahead and name a candidate who
might be open to such criticism be-
| fore the people. There were no
doubts about the facts in the case.
Mr. Roosevelt had sworn off his
taxes as charged. Finally Elihu Root
was called in to give an opinion in
the premises. And he prepared an
elaborate brief which he presented
to the convention to the effect that
even if Mr.. Roosevelt had sworn off
his taxes by declaring he was tenn
porarily a nonresident, that act did
| not nullify his rights to citizenship in
the state. This brief of Mr.. Roots
was sufficiently convincing to the
delegates to the convention and their
leaders. They went ahead and nomi-
mated Mr.. Roosevelt according to
their plans. But after his nominal
ton there was talk among the New
York Democrats, in the event of Mr..
Roosevelt's election to the governor
ship. of contesting his right to the
office on this point, although Moth
| ing ever came of it.
! When Elihu Root was in Colonel
Roosevelt's presidential cabinet. it
was common gossip around Washing
| ton that the colonel put great store in
the opinions of Mr.. Root on all deli
cate and intricate questions of law.

In fact, it was the general opinion
in the capital that Mr.. Root had more
influence with the then President
Roosevelt than all of the other mem
bers of the cabinet combined. Some
of the gossip went so far as to say
that Mr.. Root was the only member
of the cabinet who had the temerity
to tell Mr.. Roosevelt when he was
in the wrong and show him how he
was wrong, and that Mr.. Roosevelt
generally needed Mr.. Roots advice.
Under these circumstances it is in
teresting to learn Mr.. Roots opinion
on Colonel Roosevelt's pet project for
the recall of judicial decisions He
presents it in a paper in a recent issue
of The Independent as follows
"a sovereign people which declares
that all men have certain inalien-
able rights and imposes upon itself
the great impersonal rules of con-
duct deemed necessary for the
preservation of those rights, and at
the same time declares that it will
disregard those rules whenever in any
particular case it is the wish of the
majority of its voters to do so, es-
ia blshes as complete a, contradiction
to the fundamental principles of our
government as it is possible to con-
ceive. 1t abandons absolutely the
conception of a justice which is above
majorities, of a right in the weak
which the strong are bound to respect
1t denies the vital truth taught by
religion and realized in the hard ex-
periepce of mankind, that human ma
ture needs to distrust it's own inn
pulses and passions and to establish
for its own control the restraining
and guiding influence of declared
principles of action. If we yield to
the impotence which would destroy
the system that alone makes effective
the great impersonal rules and pre-
serves our constitutional government,
rather than endure the temporary in
convenience of pursuing true methods
of changing the laws, we shall not
be reforming, but we shall be exhib-
iting the weakness which thoughtful
friends of free government the world
over have always feared the most
the lack of self-control which en-
ables great bodies of men to abide
the slow processes of orderly govern
ment rather than break down the bar
riers of order when they obstruct the
impulse of the moment"

says UNCLE CIV

There is a wisdom in the remark of
Deacon Dusenberry that it's all right
to feed horses according to their needs,
but when you feed a man because he's
hungry he's an object of charity. By
the same token, a lot of us expect tc
prosper according to our need rather
than our deserts, and we keep a merry
row going because society won't &C.
cept us as pauperS.
| There may come a time when the
world will accept the fiat dictum of
the dreamer, that it is the fact that
a mans hunger entities him to food.
Just now it is willing to agree to the
proposition, providing the man is will
ing to work for what he eats. And
that is about as near to the beautiful
nobody-hungry ideal as Wen get for
some time. This is society's ruling.
and it is enforced with double strict
ness in regard to the inmaterial things
of life.
The fact that you're ambitious doesn't
entitle you to high place. The desire
to wear the honors of an artist is a
| good start toward something worth
while, but it is only a start. The
world doesn't give according to your
| needs, but according to its own wants
and your ability to meet them. 1t some
times fails of exact justice, even upon
that plane. but in the long run he who
delivers the kind of goods that the
world wants, going humbly to the back
door, as specified by the placard in
front, brings away the coin of reward
He who merely looks on while the
producer comes away with empty bas-
ket and a full pocketbook will have
| long to watch and wait.
Don't measure you deserts by your
needs. If you do. the world and you
will be basing calculations upon diff
ferent premises and you'll never get
| together. Here lies the secret of most
unhappy lives. We assume that we
should have things merely because we
desire them. We spend our time com
| planning that society has robbed US.
We haven't learned the lesson of life
| which is that society recognizes nc
divine right to anything that we are
not willing to toll and sweat and, if
need be, die for.-(Copyright, 1912, by
