Mutsu Hito

However much he had to do with the remarkable progress of his coun- try during the forty five years of his reign, the Japanese emperor whose death was announced yesterday. in all that time, has been little more to the world than a name, a mere idea. We do not mean a figurehead.
 Comparatively little was known of him. His work was done through his ministry, composed through all it's changes of the abIest men of the empire and the most astute statesmen of the world It is quite likely that to the advisers of the emperor is chiefly due the great growth of Japan. The leading Japanese statesmen have been educated abroad and have been brought into contact and intimate re- lation with the activities of the world in war and peace. To the almost her init emperor all these things were novel and strange.
 But, whether any of the great re- forms of Japan had their initiative in him, his great power was always lent to them and to that extent he must be given credit for the birth of the new Japan.
 One of the admirable traits of the emperor was his tolerance of, and even his friendliness to foreigners, their customs and their religions.
 There has occurred something in the life of Mutsu Hito that is recorded nowhere else in all history, the pas sage of a semi barbarous nation into a high state of civilization and cul- ture within the reign of a single sOv- ereign.

For Homesteaders

An important amendment to the sundry civil bill was agreed to by the senate last week on the motion of Senator Borah who pointed out that under the operation of the amended homestead law entrymen under the five-year law might be deprived of their rights by inadvertence. The danger lay in the following clause of the three-year law:
 Floy id.d ihaC tne secretary of the interior shall. within 50 days after the passage of this act, send a copy Of the same to each homestead en- tryman of record who may be af- fected thereby by ordinary mail to his last known address, and any such entryman may, by giving notice within 120 days after the passage of this act by registered letter to the register and receiver of the local land office, elect to make proof upon his entry under the law under which the same was made without regard to the provisions of this act.
 II was pointed out by Mr. Borah thar if the entryman should not get the notice he would be put under the operation of the new law with it's ad- ditional requirements That some of the entrymen had not received such notices, MT Borah had ascertained from the great number of letters re- turned to the land offices uncalled for
 The three-year law requires that before final proof can be made upor a homestead, the entryman shall show that one sixteenth of his land was under cultivation the second year oi entry. There is no such a require ment in the old law and it is ont which many entrymen would probably not be able to meet Accordingly th' following amendment was adopted:

Old M aids

A foolish preacher, one of the sen sational type, at Grand Junction, Colo couple of weeks ago inveighed against old maids as leading purpose less lives and thwarting the inten- lions of the Almighty in bringing them into the world. His remarks were particularly directed against Miss Helen Gould as the most con- spicuous of the offending class.
 Palpably the purpose of the preach CT was only to bring himself into the limelight in which effort he has re- ceived the surprising aid of the press and the telegraphic news agencies and his efforts have, we believe, been un- wisely supplemented by replies by Miss Gould and Miss Jane Addams of Hull House, both admirable examples of the old maid
 If celibacy were a crime, old maids would be obviously less blamable than old bachelors for it is conceivable that many women remain in a state of single blessedness from necessity and not from choice. Woman lacks op- portunity She may not take the initiative in matrimonial enterprises while that is the business of the man. We do not mean to say that such ad- mirable women as Miss Addams and Miss Gould have gone begging. Op- portunities have no doubt been thrown at them scores or times. But they had both cut out a great work which as wives and mothers, they could not have performed so well, if at all.
 The chief aim of women, thinks the Grand Junction preacher, should be the bringing of children into the world. but the mere bringing of chill dren into the world is not the end. II is work performed worse than use lessly unless the children are saved and reared properly
 We will venture to say that the ac- tivities of Miss Gould among the poor have resulted in the saving from death Of more babies than a hundred women in their life times could have borne; perhaps more than a thousand could have mothered. And, Miss Addams corrective work has resulted in the turning into useful lives many hun- dreds who without her efforts had better not been born at all Mere population is not the thing to be aimed at. There is already too much animal life on the earth, though, ot course not yet enough of the right kind

The evil of absentee management, however, is not merely social one. It has been demonstrated frequently in the industrial world that such con- dition is often equally inimical to the financial interests of the stockholders. The downfall of the Missouri Pacific railroad from one of the best to per haps one of the least desirable rail- road properties in the west, it is gen. orally conceded, was due to the efforts of the Gould family to manage the property from New York. The Chica- go &, Alton, another railroad which has not been especially successful of late years, recently has changed presi- dents and with the change has come the significant announcement that the new president will make his head quarters ir Chicago.
 Reverting again to the social features of absentee management, 1t may be said that even paid executives are gen. erally far and amenable to reason. Also, stockholders are interested in something more than dividends and are beginning to ask questions. Ihe stockholler knows that sighted reactionary management begets trou- ble strikes and losses and managers themselves are seeking peace and pros peritv py enlightened labor policies. II is an exploded notion that greed, stup- born stanipatism and sweating ct i'- bor will raise dividends. Managers anu stockholaera alike are viewing corpo- rate affairs in a new Hgnt.-lroh Rax,ipW

Doctor Lowell, president of Harvard university. recently has pointed out the dangers of absentee management in modern corporations and classes 1t on a par with the evils of absentee lanlordisn, which has been the curse of Ireland for many generations.

MT. FIinn's Perpiexities

The difference of opinion that has arisen between MT. Roosevelt and MT Finn over the proper policy to be adopted by the new party in Pennsyl- vania appears to be due to MT. Finn s selfish desire to retain the advantage that he gained when he overthrow the Penrose forces in the republican primaries. He cannot very we'll desert the republican party and still hold control of it's organization. If he goes over to the third party he must surrender all the advantages gained at the recent primaries and make an- other fight for supremacy.
 As one way out of the dilemma it has been suggested that the presi- dential electors nominated at the primaries run on the Taft ticket and on the Roosevelt ticket too. MT Roosevelt very properly objects to such a scheme There is no more ex- cuse for running Roosevelt electors anu IdlI eleclUTS on the same IlckeI than there would be for running Taft electors and Wilson electors on the same ticket. A political party that cannot stand alone is not worthy of the name.
 The electors nominated in the re- publican primaries in Pennsylvania were nominated as republicans. They are morally bound, in case they are elected, to vote for MT Taft, because Mir. Taft is the republican candidate for president and is entitled to the support of all republican electors. The fact that MT. Roosevelt chose to bolt and organize a new party does not release them from that obligation They cannot vote for him for presi- dent, after having been elected as re- publicans, without betraying theiI party, any more than they could vote for Wilson

Col. Roosevelt, instead of being ag- grieved at the things that happened to him at Chicago, ought to be thank ful that he was steam rolled so that all the iniquity of republicanism was pressed out of him leaving him puri- fled and filled with a contempt for dishonest lying politicians. The com plaints of the colonel may lead some to suspect that he regrets his failure to attain the leadership of that abom- inable party.
