SOCIALISM IN JAPAN.

Although statistics were once deprecated
as being "only another method Of telling
Hes" they appear to have served the pur-
pose Of effectually dispensing at least one
Of the arguments Oh which certain publ
cists in Jupan base the assertion that the
country Is rapidly becoming socialistic
This argument was that q tendency existed
for considerable tracts OF land TO pass out
of the possession of small farmers into the
hands OF large agriculturists, with the In
eyitable result that many people were ex-
changing a position Of independence for
one OF labor at a daily wage. The conten-
ton was accepted with general complais-
ance, until recently a native journal came
out with statistics showing that IL any
change has taken place II has been. In a
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, IL at all and
consequently the predictions about the ap-
proach OF socialism are not borne out by
S>'ilal statistics. London Telegraph.

NEW YORK TRAFFIC CONGESTION.

New York City has never been able 10
keep up with the demands for transport
facilities. When the Brooklyn Bridge was
opened, on May "a, 1888, Brooklyn had a
population Of only 100000. To-day 1t has
q population of 100000 Elevated railroads,
as we know them, were not then in eX-
istence nor was electricity used as a
power for transportation. For six years
pedestrians were charged cent for cross
ing the bridge. John A. Roebling expected
that the Brooklyn Bridge would carry less
than ten million persons year, put az
present more than half a million cross the
bridge every twenty four hours. In 1883, the
cable cars not being sufficient to accommo-
oate the persons crossing the Drluee' may .I
Rrooklyn electric car lines were put on the
roadways. As each roadway is only eigh-
teen feet wide, one readily sees the CON
geStion caused by the ever-increasing We

CLUB HELPS YOUNG MEN
BOYS in Hard Luck Find Work
Throuqh Upanin.

Miss Anna VI Wilbur. the philanthropist,
and band OF workers who are Interested
I'm young men who are In hard luck have
met with great success In the Upanln club,
which they founded last April at No Ia
High street. Brooklyn. Properly speaking,
the organization is a haven for down and
outs The workers rented the house and
engaged Michael McDonough and his wife,
both OF whom are well known in settle
ment work. 10 take over the care OF the
house and make II home for unfortunate
boys and young men.
In the short time that the club has been
In existence II has housed eghty-nine boys
and young men and helped them TO get
work. 1t has helped TO clothe and feed At
least two hundred. and the good work OF
the institution is growing every day.
The superintendent OF the club works in
the down and outs" 10 come to him, but.
on the contrary. goes 10 them. Almost
every night he can be found standing IN
the bread line on the Bowery searching
faces for those who look deserving or who
seem 10 have fallen below their proper
sphere in life When he finds a young man
with the indications OF deserving help
! about him he takes him home TO the little
club and helps him to find work Perhaps
Mr.. McDonough hears that a boy Is TO he
dismissed from the penitentary or from
Elmira. He is waiting at the gate when
the boy leaves the prison, and II there is
anything In his face or story that makes
the superintendent think he is deserving he
aids him to the best of his ability.
The boys taken In at UpanIn arc not
allowed TO loaf there. They have com.
Portable quarters for the night. but every
boy must be up at $50 in the morning and
be out looking for work at els AS long
as he tries TO find work and behaves him
self he may stay at the club. A small
library provides n place OF rest during the
evenings.
The work has already become we'll known
to the police. and when a young man goes
90 police station and asks to be locked
up on n charge OF vagrancy because he
has no place 10 sleep the lieutenant on the
desk sends him to Upanin. Many are saved
from the island in this way
AT a reception held at the club a few
nights ago District Attorney Cropsey said
the work was the nobest he knew OF I'm
the city
THE boys OF to-day are the citizens Of
Tomorrow" he said. I'VE have homes for
the physically I'll: why shouldn't we have
ZONES for the morally weak"
The president of the association is Judge
Robert J. Wilkin. Among the board OF
directors appear the names Of many OF
Brooklyn's politicians. such as F. ]. H..
1iracEe and Mr. Cropsey. Many phllan-
thropists are interested in the club, which
is non-sectarian and receives persons ire
spective of creed or color, asking only that
they be deserving and try TO help them
selves while upanin lends its efforts to aid
them.

Besides. prison diet which for many rea-
