TO BURY AT DEAD OF NIGHT
Funeral Services of Late Emperor
Mutsuhito of Japan

The funeral arrangements for the
late Emperor Mutsuhito CT Japan
who died July Both, have beer
completed by the special bureau
which has been sitting since Aug. l.
The date of the funeral ceremony al
Toxic has been fixed for Sept. l3,
and the interment is to take place al
Momoyama on Sept. IL
1t is the imperial custom that tn G
funerals OF the members OF the
royal family are held during the
night. The night is the time for
rest and peace, and the night is the
time for deep mourning.
At the funeral uniforms OF all
kinds will be discarded, except
those of army and navy officers.
The people who will participate in
the services will wear the old Jap.
anese costumes. The new Empc ror
will wear the old costume, which be
has lever worn in his life. Every
thing will be of tbs old Japan of
centuries ago.
The services are simple. The
priest OF the Shinto will make q
lengthy prayer for the spirit of the
late Eu peror and every word will be
the old Japanese word and no mod
ern language will be used.
AT the service the light will be
furnished by pine tree bonfres, End
no other light will be used.
With the slow and melancholy
music OF old Japan, with the people
costumed in the old dresses sur
rounding the Pickering pine
fires. the scene will not suggest a
single aspect of the modern Japan.
and listening to the priest S. pray
err in the old language, the people
will feel that they are in the Japan
of many centuries ago.

Progressives' Unique Campaign

Taking swift counsel among
themselves in Chicago the leaders
OF the new Progressive party are
planning TO bcsiA within a week a
whirlwind campaign from coast TO
coast. 1t is to be unique among
political campaigns in the history of
this country.
The camp meeting revival idea
took strong hold upon the magma
ton o. the leaders, and they intend
to expand it. The active participa-
ton of women, even to extent of
placing women ON TIE executive
committee, will be invoked. 1t is
proposed to instruct local leaoers to
use religious hymns freely at all
progressive meetings, interspersed
with patriotic airs, and always to
close with the doxology. In other
words, this is 10 be twentieth-cen-
fury crusade.

BEEF WILL REMAIN HIGH
Only Relief Lies With Farmers in
Corn Belt

Cheap prices for beef based on a
more abundant supply OF cattle can
not be expected for several years.
according to NJ. +. HORNE. statisti
clan of the Union Stock Yards and
Transit Company of Chicago, who
has Issued statement commenting
on the record high prices paid for
cattle in the Chicago market the
past week.
In his opinion the only relief lies
with the farmers OF the corn belt
who with improved methods OF
farming and the use OF corn and al
falfa in feeding may be able to pro
duce beef cattle in larger numbers
and at lower cost in the next few
years.
Ii anything were needed to prove
the scarcity OF beef cattle in this
country and that the law of supply
and demand governs prices at the
market il has been furnished the last
few days in the sale of numerous
shipments of beef steers on the Chi.
cago market for from $40 to SO 80
per hundred pounds. the highest
price paid since the war between
the States.
The present situation Is easily
explained. The drought of 1909 and
1910 throughout the southwestern
regions and Mexico and the general
drought OF 1910. which ext nded
throughout western Canada and all
the western and south western range
regions, together with the partial
drought and extremely severe win
ter of 1911, reduced tie already de-
hcient supply of breeding young
stock to such an extent that gen
eral scarcity OF all kinds Of cattle
th5oue bout the country as now man
ifested became inevitable.
AS it will take from three to five
years to build up a new supply al
the very best possible rate and IN.
der the most favorable conditions an
abundance OF oeef at reasonably
cheap prices need not be looked for
during several years 10 come. Ger
tainly no more favorable opportuni-
ty has ever existed than is now
presented to those who are fortu-
nate enough to have the breeding
stock and prepared to raise cattle
for market"

EVERYBODY WORKS ROADS
IN OLD PATRICK COUNTY
Good Roads Day" Is0bserved With
Plow and Shovel

Virgiria-or, rather. one county
OF Virginia--has a new and unique
plan for improving its public high.
ways. We are familiar with arboI
days, flag days and various other
days set apart for the special nour-
ishing of popular sentiment in this
or that direction or the furtherance
OF some particular public move
mont. But it remains for Patrick
county, in the Old Dominion, to
proclaim ano observe with pillow,
shovel, gravel cart and lusty labor a
Good Roads Day."
There are two saving features to
this scheme. In the first place, it
constitutes so an Indirect plan OF
taxation. for road making that few
people will give the cost a thought.
Second, the roads of Patrick county
are, we understand, in such fright
full condition that no harm can be
done by turning loose upon Them
for construction or destruction OF all
the hordes # average citizens whose
willingness to help is exceeded by
their ignorance of the science OF
bodybuilding.
The scheme is not economical.
The man who can earn So in work
that does not harden his hands is
not likely to be worth his salt with
a shovel. He could much better
contribute $l.5O for the hire of a la
borer than go forth and work him
self. Patrick county has some
1900 inhabitants. A contribution
CT 81 per head would produce a tidy
sum for road improvement. If all
the males over 16 years of age take
part in this spssmodc attack upon
the highways, almost as great a sum
will be indirectly spent in sacrificed
wages.
But il not much is to be expected
In the way OF actual aud permanent
OF the roads on this
merry making holiday, it ought at
least to have great moral effect.
We mistrust that the memory OF
broken backs will in the near fu-
ture be responsible for many votes
for a highways bond issue. And
even though nothing on so grand q
scale be attempted at once, a day
spent on the roads," with all it's
attendant problems, Quandaries and
failures to theIunskilled, will awaken
in Patrick county an astonishing in
terest in the study of practical
highway construction, with good
results in the END. Baltimore

By Bull Moose

By Bull Moose
At a rather late hour last Wed
nesday night Theodore Roosevelt of
New York, was nominated for Presi-
dent by the National Progressive
Party" in session in Chicago, and
Hiram W. Johnson, at present gov
ernor of California, was nominated
for Vice-President.
The nominations were made with
great acclaim, and both Roosevelt
and Johnson made speechs OF few
minutes, accepting the houors.
Tie 'Progressives" say that they
will soon have whirlwind cam
paign started and will wage one of
the most vigorous fights this country
has ever seen, and one that will
spell victory in November.
1t is now thought that Roosev.
will do his campaigning in the West.
while Johnson will spend most Of
his time in the East.
The platform adopted by the Ma
tional Progressive party advocates
political and industrial tariff re-
forms. 1t is the form of contract
with the people and is mostly writ
ter by Colonel Roosevelt.
The platform begins thus:
The conscience Of the people n
time of grave National problems
called them into a new party-one OF
the nations awakened sense Of IS
tice. We the Progressive party, de-
dictate upon ourselves to establish
for the people Of the country a gov
eminent of the. people, by the PEOPLE
and for the people"
The platform asSails the Repubr-
can party for its connection with
the trusts, aud the Democratic
party for it's incapacity.
Its principal planks are for wom-
an suffrage, National Presidential
primary. election OF United States
Senator'S by popular vote.
Publicity Of campaign contritu.
tons, during the campaigns
Give to the people the right of mi
tiative, referendum and recall of
judges.
For employers TO fi'e wage scales.
and other public data as the public
element in industry demands.
Provision for rural banking and
rural credits; betterment OF life of
the farmer, and the citizens of the
country at large.
Strengthening OF antitrust law;
creating a national Industrial CON-
mittee.
Remodeling of patcntlaw and pre-
vention 10 use OF patents of tools for
monopolies; institution of;parcels
post; strengthening OF interstate
commerce law.
Sound and elastic currency re-
form, guarded against use for
speculative purposes.
Favoring good roads; opening of
coal and resources of Alaska, and
other developments under home
stead plan.
Providing for two battle ships a
year: impro -ement of waterways.
Panama Canal built and used bv
Americans, must be controlled by
them.

With trust in the will and iudg
ment OF the common people" as his
keynote Woodrow Wilson accepted
the nomination as Democratic Pres
idential candidate at his summer
home at Sea Girt, n. J., last Wed
nesday.
Briefly and simply the Governor
was notified of his nomination by
Senator-elect Ollie James of Ken.
lucky, who emphasized, as he said.
that the Governor had obtained the
nonor untrammeled by obligations
and unembarrassed by affiliations OF
any kind. Though the Governor
spoke in acceptance theoretically TO
htty-two members OF the committee
representing every State and Terri
tory in the Union, the speech.
sounding the depths of his political
philosophy, was heard by a great
throug.
Prominent Democrats, Governors
OF many States, their families. men,
bers of the Women's National Dem
ocratic League and multitude of
seashore folk, most of them in the
garb Of the seashore, came from IN
and down the Jersey coast to attend
the exercises.
From the broad verauda of the
white-coated house, where the Gov.
errors OF New Jersey are wont to
spend their summers, the nominee
delivered his speech. Grouped be-
meath widespreading willows and
elms were the more prominent
guests, hedged in by clumps OF
ferns and hedges.
Following are some OF the state
ments in the address:
We must not speak to catch
votes, but TO satisfy the thought and
conscience of people deeply stirred
by the conviction that they have
come to a critical turning point in
their moral and political develop
ment."
The forces of the nation are as
serting themselves against every
form of special privilege and private
control and are seeking bigger
things than they have ever hereto
fore achieved"
Our task now is to effect a great
readlustment and get the forces of
the whole people once more into
play. We need no revolution; we
need no excited change; we need
only new point Of view and a new
method and spirit Of counsel"
when we act we should act with
caution and prudence, like men who
know what they are about, and not
like those in love with a theory.
There should be an imme-
date revision [of the tariff, and it
should be downward, unhesitating-
ly and steadily downward"
1 do not know any greater ques-
ton than that of conservation.
With regard to the development
OF greater and more numerous wa
terways and the building up OF a
merchant marine, we must follow
great constru ction lines and not fal
back upon the cheap device OF boun-
ties and subsidies.
There is another duty which the
Democratic party has shown itself
great.enough and close enough to
the people to perceive. the duty of
government to share in promoting
agricultural, Industrial, vocational
education in every way possible
within its constitutional powers"
