A Puzzled Reader

Dear Mr.. Watson: | am at a loss
to know what manner of man you
are. I notice some of the leading
Democratic papers are devoting most
of their editorial page in giving you
special attention. l fail to under
stand their waste of so much valua-
bic space on such an insignificant
90 person and too, to comprehend
their.nc consistency.
Orgy a few weeks ago they were
attributing Mr.. Wilson's defeat in
the primary in Georgia to your acts
and doings and now they are pray
ing that Mr.. Wilson's candidacy be
rid of your support. In view of
their inconsistency it seems proba-
BILE that he is to be sacrificed at the
expense of their personal and politi-
cal vindictiveneSs. l am neither a
prophet, nor the son of a prophet,
but dare to venture the assertion
that those who are disposed to trif1e
with the candidacy of Theodore
Roosevelt will awake one day to the
fact that they have reckoned with
out their host. With the sentimen-
tai dissention and strife in Demo-
cratic ranks, and six days with
twelve we'll directed speeches by T.
r., and if the "solid South" is not
broken she will rock and reel as
never before.
One other inquiry is this, judging
every act and word coming from
either of these two gentlemen as in
dividuals, who is so wise as to say
that the one is a Democrat and the
other a, Republican?
We can't understand after such
campaigning as the Democratic par
ty has undergone that it would be
with more inconsistency for an I'm
derwood man to flop to Roosevelt
than it would be to support Wilson,
and on the other hand had Under
wood been nominated, for the Will

are actually being accosted by
strange men, who, misled by their
immodest fashionable attire, take
them for other than they really are.
Christian women must desist from
wearing in public, costumes which
provoke men into infractions of the
Seventh Commandment" This was
a strong statement, but vial it have
any appreciate effect upon what
women wear?
The deep underlying influence of
Fashions DEGREES upon the average
woman is more than the masculine
mind can understand. Neither elo-
quence, nor logic, nor persuasion
can change woman's attitude to-
ward it's mandates. To what new
extreme it will lead them no one
knows, but let us hope that few
more yards of goods will be de-
manded in the next change of styles.

son men to have supported Roose-
welt instead of Underwood This
applies more particularly to the hot
air dispensers in the recent cam
paign who posed as party leaders.
Who knows but what the third
party movement about twenty years
ago was very emblematicaI of that
crowd in the wilderness of Judea,
and that the time since their return
to the old parties represent the dark
ages and that a new political age of
wonderful enlightenment is about
to dawn upon these blood bought
United States Of ours?
I believe the return of the Popu-
lists to the old parties was in good
faith, but oh, what cool reception
has been accorded them! their only
show consists in very narrow booth
at the voting precincts.
Again | conclude that the domi-
nant party papers are very high
party authorities, and that they car
ry the sanction of the party. In
view of these facts, I for one of the
many thousand aforesaids in Geor-
gia, had about as leave become a
high ball as to remain football.
Everybody knows you and yours
have held the balance of power in
Georgia for several years and we
have rejoiced in the fact, but mark
you the old third party guards are
going to be hard to hold from an
other opportunity to rid themselves
of political slavery in a party whose
payroll carries naught but indigna-
ties and ingratitude.

first American he had even en-
countered:
Walking boldly up to him, the
boy sovereign introduced himself as
young sailor, and finding the
American could speak a little Japa-
nese, he poured forth a food of
eager questions. The traveller from
the United States patronizingly told
the young sailor wonderful tale of
American civilization The Empe-
ror did not declare himself, but he
remembered what he had heard, and
it took shape with progressive ideas
that were assembling in his own
brain
The press discovers no difficulty
in listing the long record Of success
sive achievements of the reign: the
suppression of rebellions, the de-
struction of caste system, the
popularizing of the Government, the
progress in education, science and
art, the victories in wars against
China and Russia. Yet plenty of
uncertainty is apparent the moment
the yardsticks are opened 20 meas
ure the leader. AS the Washington
Star puts it:
Comparatively little is known of
the personality of the man who has
ruled over the Empire during all
these years of change and develop
ment. His portraits have been
printed on occasions, but they have
disclosed little or nothing of the per-
sonality. Indeed, it is now said
that they are not accurate repre-
sensations, inasmuch as they were
taken long ago and do not show the
Emperor as he has appeared during
the important years of change and
development. There is scarcely a
monarch today who is not better
known to the world
1t is noticeable that none of the
comment is even cocksUBe about
whether it was the Emperor or that
group Of "elder statesmen" about
him that had the last say in matters
of dispute. There has been no
measure whereby to estimate the
personal greatness and ability of
the man." says the New York Com
mercial, "for he has always re-
amined, if not in seclusion, in an
environment of impenetrable re-
reserve"
The New York Evening Sun finds
it no wonder that Mutsuhito was
something of a poet, 'being in his
person the poem of Japanese life,
even in the eyes of the frock coated
and silk-hatted members of the
clubs of the capital, to whom the
riddle of trade had come to be more
important than the riddle of the uni
verse" The Emperor in his work
shop was different personality
from the one on the throne, this
writer thinks
''He was able to dispel the mys-
terry that hung about his Office yet
keep it, as it were, intact. He
might have DR.. Eliot or Mr.. Taft
at luncheon as they passed through
Tokyo and behave like any other po-
lite host and not end the awe with
which his people regarded him. The
legend persisted He existed in light

generals or admirals ascribed victo-
ries, won through the skilful use of
recent inventions, to the virtues of

before the death OF Emperor
Mutsuhito on July 20 were people
OF modern nation, where, sixty
years before, at his birth, such an
assemblage would have represented
q country bound by ancient oriental
customs and governed in feuda-
lism. The press find that their
greatest difficulty in this situation
is to determine just how much of
the amazing progress of the Japa-
nese nation, particularly in the last
two decades, was matter of the
Emperor's personality and in how
for he was a nominal leader only.
They are equally puzzled to make
out the character of his son and sue
cessor, Yoshihito, of whom they can
say little more than that he is thirty
three, likes horseback riding, is
popular and likely to prove a 'tpro-
gressive." None of the papers in
clines to believe that the death of
Mutsuhito will menace world-peace
or even greatly disturb the govern
ment of Japan. According to the
dispatches, some evidences of the old
order asserted. themselves at the
last. While expert physicians were
treating in the most modern fashion
case of acute nephritis, issuing
bulletins Of temperatures and pulse
beats and feeding the patient even
SO modern food as ice-cream, we
yet could read, with something of a
thrill at it's picturesqueness
"a Shinto priest last night as
cended Full, the loftiest mountain
of Japan, and at dawn prayed from
the summit. An aged woman, fol-
lowing the custom in the provinces,
sequestered herself in the depths of
the forest, communing with the spir-
it's and begging salvation for the
Emperor
In the nature of the case, the
press relates at equal length the En-
peror's biography and the parallel
history Of his nation. He was only
year old when Commodore Perry,
in 1853, opened the island Empires
eyes to the power of the Western
world with gunpowder; Mutsuhito
became at fifteen the ne-hundred-
twentyfrst ruler in the worlds old
est dynasty. The New York World,
which credits him with taking 1.-THE
leading role in changes as many and
as great as it has cost Europe 500
years to accomplish" describes the
conditions the Emperor helped to
transform:
when as a boy Prince Mutsuhito
was hidden away in his fathers
palace Japanese soldiers still fought
with bows and arrows and with
lances from behind cumbrous pad
ded armor, or swung their swords
in open galleys like the Vikings.
It was death for a subject not of the
palace group to look upon the Mika-
dos face. 1t was death to leave the
country; Ito and Inouye braved that
fate when in 1858 they ran away to
England to study war and shipping
and modern ways. The temporal
power of the Emperors had been
usurped by the Shcgunate, at whose
court officials scuffed about in silk
en- trousers, cut eighteen inches too
long for their legs, so that they
might seem to be always knee1ing.
Gilbert and Sullivan's 'Mikado,'
staged in 1885, parodied what was
even then the worlds notion of ia
pan"
Two journals, the Pittsburg Ga
zette-Times and the New York Com
mercial, credit the United States
with taking the initiative in break
ing up Japan's stagnation. What
ever the beginning, however, no one
seeks to discount the value of
