MEN BEFORE MUTSUHITo.
They Prepared the Way For the Late
Mikado-Martyrs to Reform.

1hey prepared the way For the Late
Mikado-Martyrs to Reform.
With the death Of Mikado Mutsuhito
the occidental mind turns to modern
Japan, among whose builders Mutsu-
hito played so prominent a part with
the efforts put forth during the forty
five years Of his reign to raise his
country TO the level of the great ma
tions Of the world. Mutsuhito was but
few months old when Commodore
Perry anchored his squadron in the
bay Of Yeddo and by forcing a COM
mercial treaty upon the unwilling jap
anese opened the way for the modern
izing of a divided people whom feudal-
ism was crushing with its unprogres-
stveness.
Fourteen years after Commodore
Perry's visit, when Mutsuhito, the Son
of the Heavens, was crowned, Japan
still had no railways, no telegraph sys-
TEN, no manufacturing plants, no navy,
no system of education, no partici-
patton by the people in the govern
ment Of the country. The boy emper-
or began his reign with q declaration,
would create a deliberative assembly,
that he would guarantee personal free
dom to all his subjects, that existing
evil customs would be abolished and
that new system, based on the study
of the experience Of other nations,
would be inaugurated. All the pro-
visions Of this magma charta of the
rights and privileges of the japanese
people were In time carried out, and
they formed the foundation for the
continued advancement Of the country
In government. commerce and educa-
ton.
But before the accession Of Mutsu-
hito others had advocated the intro
duction Of reforms into Japan If the
country were to hold It's own in the
orient. Among the men who may be
called the builders of modern Japan"
were Prince Tokugawa, the last of the
shoguns, who cOunseled his followers
TO unite with the southern clans after
setting them an example by resigning
his position: Sakuma Shozan, the first
japanese 10 adopt European costume,
who advocated the employment Of Eu-
ropean instructors in all branches of
study; Fujita Toxic, who taught doc
trines Of loyalty to the real sovereign
and constant preparation for national
defense. and Yoshida Torajiro, mar
tyr to reform, whose unfortunate but
fruitful career appealed so much to
Robert Louis Stevenson that he made
1t known to the occident through one
of his essays.

JAPAN is MODERN
Brought Up Under Influence Of
Western Civilization
He IS THIRTY THREE YEARS OLD
Married His Cousin In 1900, and They
Have Three Children-Yoshihito Is
the One Hundred and Twenty third
Male Successor to Throne.


Male Successor to Throne.
Yoshihito Harunomiya, the one hun
dred and twenty-third male successor
to the imperial throne of Japan, was
born on Aug. 81. 1879. On his eighth
birthday he was nominated as heir
apparent. He is the third son of
Princess Yanigawara, one of the eight
princesses of noble blood who became
members of the household Of Mutsu-
hto when it was seen that no heir
was TO be expected of Princess Ha-
ruko, his wife and empress. The two
elder brothers of Yoshihito died soon
after birth.
On being nominated heir apparent
Yoshihito received the decoration of
the Grand Order of Merit and a COM
mission as a colonel in the imperial
royal guards. His education was Sc
cured at the school for members of
the imperial family at Tokyo and COM
prised modern training as well as that
of the old japanese studies. He
speaks English. French and German.
He is fond of outdoor exercise, partic-
ularly horseback riding, and is said to
be affable in conversation.
In 1900 he married Princess Sada,
his cousin, a daughter of Prince Kujo.
Her family is one of the oldest in the
empire and is easily traced back to
$50 A. d. They have three children,
the Princes Michi, Atsu and Teru. The
first named Is now the heir apparent,
and he is the first son to have been
born either to an empress or crown
princess in many generations.
Yoshihito has been a lieutenant gen.
eral in the army and a vice admiral
in the navy. His upbringing has been
through the most notable time in the
history of Japan, and the influence of
his fathers enlightened policy toward
the developments Of his kingdom and
his attitude toward western ideas may
be presumed not to have been lost
upon the young man.
He is said to display a desire to
maintain so much of ancient traditions
rs to not interfere with that progress
which he sees his country must ac-
complish if it is to retain its position
in the forefront of nations.

representative in Congress, today de-
clared that Indiana will be solidly for
the denomination of President Taft. He
also declared that the Democrats of

popularity, according to Judge CLANCY,
is on the wane. lie said:

ROOSEVELT MAY
Be PROGRESSIVES'
CHOICE IN STATE
Former Governor Fort Confident
Colonel Viii Run ii
Asked.

That the name of Theodore itoose-
welt will be formally entered il this
State as a candidate for the presiden-
tial nomination is even more apparent
today, following the meeting last night
OF the Roosevelt Club. Petitions are
being circulated and it is confidently
asserted that the ,Ooo names necessary
to make him a candidate al the State
primaries will be secured within a short
time.
This impression has been further
strengthened by the statement issued
yesterday by former Governor Fort.
MIR. Fort called upon Mr.. Roosevelt at
his Office and urged him to give out a
definite statement.
Governor Tort says in effect that it
is clear TO him that the former Presi-
e viii be a candidate. In his inter-
view he said that now 1t is not neces-
sary for the colonel to be an active
candidate. but he just wanted the as
surance that in the event of a popular
demand he would allow his name to be
used. lie closed his statement with hat
from this time he and his friends in
New Jersey would do what they could
to assur Colonel Roosevelt a delega-
tion from this State.
The hackers OF the Roosevelt candl-
daey seem certain that the former
President will be a candidate in the
event of his being asked, and are go
ing ahead as if he had already con-
scented. That this movement will be-
come Statewide is believed from the
talk among the members of the club
last night.
Edmund 3. Osborne, president of the
Progressive Republican League, who
has until now been regarded as a sup
porter Of enato La Toilette, issued a
statement to the effect that if Roose-
Welt will consent to run he would get
an Overwhelming majority in this State
among the Progressives.
This is regarded by friends of Roose-
Welt as a certainty, that the Pro-
gressives IN his State at least will
vote solidly for Roosevelt at the pri-
maries.
With the petitions for the former
President there was also a resolution
adopted indorsing former state SEN
ator Everett Colby for United States
senator Petitions will be issued soon.
a movement for a New Jersey Roose-
Welt League was started.

ROOSEVELT WILL NOT
BE EXILE, HE SAYS.

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-"Who is try
ing to exile me now" said Theodore
Roosevelt today. when asked about a
report hat he was going abroad. Il
never thought of such a thing, and
never heard Uf-the rumor until this
morning.
Report had had it that Mrs. Roose-
velt, who has been i'll, would, in the
>npinion of physicians, he benefited by
a sea voyage and that Colonel Roose-
Welt would accompany her to Europe.
Colonel Roosevelt refused to discuss
the statement of Ex-Governor Fort, OF
New Jersey, who said yesterday that
in his opinion, Roosevelt should soon
make known whether he will accept
the nomination if it is thrust upon
him.

of the withdrawal of his name from

made the statement that it lis Ger

kind between Colonel Harvey and my

itor of the Louisville Courier-Journal,
c~op-efning what took place at the con-
ference between Wilson and Harvey, at
which Watterson was present. The

WILSON AND COZ. HARVEY.

Harper's Weekly states that its re-

compliance with a direct request ade
by the Governor. who believed his
chances were being injured by tina
papers advocacy. 1t is rather tough
on Colonel Harvey, who is very largely
responsible for the political prominence
now enjoyed by Governor Wilson, to
be thus thrown into the discard by his
beneficiary Just when things seem to
be coming his way, but there is no
telling what viii happen in politics.
