They Followed Out the Custom of
Nippon, Showing Their Love for the
Dead RuIer-Considered Patriotic
Duty by Soldiers of Japan-Nogi Be-
came Famous by Taking Port Arthur.

love and reverence for the dead en-
peror of Japan, Mutsuhito, whose
funeral was held here Friday even
ing, General Baron Kitten Nogi, hero

out the ancient custom of Nippon and
committed harikari in the public
streets, as they followed the emperor's
coffin in the funeral services at Aoy-

act which cast a shudder of horror
through the crowd of mourners. Off
Gals stopped hesitatingly, and for a
moment a panic was threatened.
Scores of fellow countrymen of the
great hero and his wife, weeping and
wailing in greatest distress. For a
time the funeral was forgotten in the
excitement of the new sorrow.
Many threatened to repeat the act
of hari kari, and were prevented by
officials, who did their utmost to keep
order, as the news of the act spread
throughout the crowds.
To a Japanese the act of hari kari
is the sign of greatest patriotism and
reverence for the throne. In war times
when Russia threatened to devour the
land of Nippon, soldiers killed them
selves in this manner when facing cap
ture. Hari kari is committed with a
knife or sword which the person in
tent on suicide drives into the abdo-
men, tearing the body until death
comes.
With all the love Of the spectacular
Tor which orientals are noted, Nogi
and his wife ended their lives in the
belief that in their dying a better
tribute than any other was shown
their dead ruler.

of the Rus%so-Japanese war, and di-
rected the storming of Port Arthur.

A LETTER FROM Mr.. GORDON

Mr.. Voter: During my absence last
week | was nominated by the Republic
can caucus for the Office OF city repre-
sentative. This, however, was entirely
unexpected. 1t is true that some citi-
zens, without regard to party lines, had
suggested that | be candidate. While
saying to them that | should be glad
to represent the city, | stated that |
was not in position TO enter a con-
test for the Office. The engagements
which | had previously made making
it impossible for me to carry on per-
sonal canvass, | supposed that the mat
ter was dropped. The Republican eau
Gus, however, saw fit to place my name
in nomination, which ] appreciate and
accept. ! realize that the situation is
complicated, there being three other can
didates in the field for the same Office
/ can see no reason, however, why a
voter should refuse to vote for me if he
would ever care to do so. My record on
legislation concerning Barre and the
state is well known. If you believe
that could represent the city to its
and the states advantage. | would be
pleased to receive your support.
Very respectfully yours,

THE STATE ELECTION NEXT
TUESDAY.

Politics aside, this matter of electing
state officials is more or less business
proceeding. We one and all are inter
csted in seeing that our affairs, the af-
fairs of the commonwealth, are admin
istered in as satisfactory manner as we
would like to have our private business
! administered. If We happen to have
employees who are capable of carrying on
The business as we believe it should be
conducted, then we naturally are anxious
t, retain the services of those employees.
likewise, if we, citizens and taxpayers
o. Vermont, happen to be blessed with
officials who have done their duty, We
should feel like retaining the services
of those officers as long as it is practica-
lble to do so. In other words, We want
officials who have had wide experience,
and who have shown by that experience
that they are proficient in the work
which they are called upon to undertake.
Viewing the situation which confronts
Jus next Tuesday in that light, we feel
that the names on the Republican ticket
represent men who, because of successful
the next biennial term. There's Guy

has shown marked fidelity to his duties

ing acted in responsible positions prior
