of the real hits of the season While
the attendance was not all that could
have been desired on account Of the
upfayorable weather conditions. the
interest and enthusiasm made up ana.
ply for the lack in numbers. From
the opening sentence TO the closiu-
gesture, the undivided attention of
the auditors was given the lecturer.

from one height 10 another a. will
While Rev Howard was for a mum
Der OF wears pastor in this city, his
pulpit oratory was Of difieren,
nature from his platform address
last niqht in all vital points. Eyea
those who had listened interestedlv

sound OF Rev. Howard voice When
the lecture. which covered the space
OF an hour and twenty minutes oauc
to a close friends rushed forward 10

LITTLE SOCIALISM IN JAPAN
Contention Freely Made, and the Rea-
son Given, Not Borne Out by
Publlshed Facts.

Although statistics were once dep
recated as being "only another meth
cd of telling lies, "they appear to have
served the purpose of effectually dis
persing one Of the arguments on
which certain publicists in Japan
base the assertion that the country
is rapidly becoming socialistic. This
argument was that a tendency ex-
listed for considerable tracts of land
to pass out of the possession of small
farmers into the hands of large agri-
culturists, with the inevitable result
that many people were exchanging
a position of independence for one
of labor at daily wage. The con-
tention was accepted with general
complaisance, until recently native
journal came out with statistics
showing that if any change has taken
place it has been in direction the
exact reverse of that alleged, for
the number of those who farm their
own land has increased in the last
ten years. "On the whole the figures
go to show very conclusively," says
the Japan Weekly Mail, "that while
there has been an increase of the
manufacturing population, the rural
population has suffered little, if at
all, and consequently the predictions
about the approach of socialism are
not borne out by actual statistics"
