1YPA00R RAYAGED JAPAN,
SWEPT ISLAND FROM END TO
END LAST SUNDAY.
Tens or Thousands OF Persons Are
homeless and Property Loss is Es-
umated at Over $2O,OOO,OOO.

Tokyo, Sept. 26.--An appalling loss
or life and property resulted from
the typhoon, which swept Japan from
end to end last Sunday, according to
reports brought by persons arriving
from the provinces. Tens Of thous
ands OF persons are homeless, and
the damage exceeded $4,000, 900.
The storm was the worst that has
occurred here for over half a CEN
tury.
Where the full fury of the typhoon
was centred nothing has been left
standing. Whole villages have col
lapsed, temples, schools houses and
theatres have been wiped out and in
some places whole forests have been
destroyed.
The loss Of the mail boat at Shim-
onozki is said to be due to negligence
OF the captain, who has since at
tempted suicide. -Four hundred Sa-
pori fishermen were lost in the hur-
ricane. AT Nogoya every house was
damaged and a great tidal wave de-
molished the harbor and sank several
steamers, while several others went
ashore. At Fifu 262 people were
killed and 2S3 injured
The Kiokumaru foundered off En-
shu and the whole Of her crew and
passengers were lost.
AT Osaka 20,0 houses were

"AutOnlatic Citizens"
CThomas Il. Marshall in the Atlantic
Monthly.)

CThomas Il. Marshall, in the Atlantic
Monthly.)
There are three grades OF citizens
There are those who obey the law
through fear OF it's penalties-men
who deal squarely because their law
yers tell them that they will lose
money, and perhaps their liberty. if
they do not. These constitute the
lowest grade Of citizenship. There
are those who obey the law because
1t is the law; they have no respect for
1t; they regard it as crude. foolish
lmmater al legislation. but their re-
spect for constituted authority in
duces them To keep the letter of the
law regardless of their opinion Of tbe
spirit Of 1T. These constitute an i'm
proved class of citizens. But the citi
zcns Of the third and highest grade
are the men who make for righteous
ness, They are the salt Of the repub-
lie. These i am pleased to call au
tomato citizens. They are men who
realize that with the right Of individ-
ual success i'm America has come the
duty Of individual responsibility;
that they may "go the limit" in the
way OF success, but that they must
not injurc their fcllowmcn. Not one
of them would have demanded his
pound Of flesh, for he would have
known that h" could not get it with
out the shedding Of Christian blood.

DESCENDED FROM SQUIRRELS.
Prof. Smiths Interesting Theory Con.
corning Mans Origin.

| New York Times.
Not the apes and monkeys. who are
! literally mans blood relations, but
the moles. the hedgehogs and the
shrews represent more nearly the type
of the ancestry Of the human race
1 The Oriential tree-shrew and the Afri
! can jumping-shrew. small squirrel
like animals that feed on insects and
fruit sought in trees, represent today.
, according to Prof. G.. Elliott Smith,
president of the section of anthro-
pology in his address before the
ritish Association. the animal that
m the Cretaceaus period took a
step "fraught with the most far
reaching consequences. in that it
marked the birth Of the Primates
and the definite branching off from
! the ether mammals OF the line of
mans ancestry"
This Is new. With other biologists
Professor Smith says he should be in
clined TO look upon the orang. the
chimpanzee and the gorilla mot as
ancestral forms of man. but as the
more enterprising members OF mans
family. who not able to maintain the
high level of cerebral development OF
the feeble-bodied human, but saved
themselves from extinction by the ac-
QUESTION OF great strength and a GER

ture. The feeble man was able to

REPUBLICANS WITHOUT HOPE.
HILLES FEARS EFFECT OF PRO.
GRESSIVE CAMPAIGN.
Republican National Chairman Ap-
prchcnds Clean Sweep for tic
Democrats In November.

Beverly, Mass, Sept. 26.--Chairman
Hilles, after day with President Taft
and New England Republican leaders,
issued a statement tonight, taking Is
sue with Gov. Woodrow Wilson and
declaring that his views of free trade
and protection were to be measured
by the effect upon business conditions.
Mr.. Hilles said in part:
II see 1t is intimated by Gov. Will
son that the Republican party is try
ing to evade discussion on the tariff.
1t seems to me that in that respect
the boot Is on the other leg. ] have
yet to find any of the Democratic
speeches clear definition Of what
they propose TO do in regard to the
tariff If they control the government.
THE essential question is how they
propose to make those tariff reduc-
tions without injury to labor and to
American business enterprises.
"The opposition should answer the
question clearly and definitely,
whether they propose to so far reduce
existing tariff duties as to bring for
eign goods into effective competition
with American goods Of the same
character and thereby to increase i'm
ports. If they do not mean it their
platitudes about tariff reform are a
fraud and delusion upon the Amer
can people. If they do mean it then
certain American interests must suf-
fer.
Il think it is becoming clear to the
business community and the working
men that wasting their votes upon the
third party candidates is just as dan
gerous to the preservation Of the pro-
tective principles as voting directly
for the opposition candidates. 1t
| seems to be the purpose of the third
party managers to defeat not only
the Republican national ticket, but
Republican candidates for congress.
by skimming off just enough votes for
their own candidates in every State
and district to wipe out existing Re-
publican pluralities.
The effect Of this policy would be
appalling if it should succeed. 1t
would result in the return of free
trade Democrats to congress from dis
trict after district now represented by
: Republicans. If the plan succeeded.
there would not be left in congress a
/, corporaPs guard Of members friendly
even to moderate degree of protec-
ton. Even If Gov. Wilson. elected
president under such conditions.
should repent Of the extreme policies
OF his party and should veto measures
. aimed to carry out the policy Of
Champ Clark Of leveling the custom
: houses to the ground, there would not
be votes enough in the two houses to
sustain the veto.
This Is the road along which the
third party candidate is seeking to
lead the country-not merely the de-
feat of worthy Republican presi-
, dent. but turning the country over,
bound hand and foot, to the mercies
OF a radical majority, which would
be too powerful to be influenced even
by its more sober and conservative
, elements"

Typhoid is more dangerous than

II is estimated that 10000 people
