as the other road would be approx
mately 20 miles long, it might divide
it into three units.
1T might then become difficult for
the court to decide on which unit to
start work first, as the reasons might
be evenly balanced The men from
Belen and Clint who were before the
court yesterday. suggested an easy way
out of it When the reasons for q good
road along the different units were Of
about equal weight, let the work start
on that unit where the people bene-
fitted by it, viii render the county the
most help, and the representatives from
Belen and Clint opened the proposition
by stating they would give the right
ofway and build the grade along this
unit if the county would put on the
surface.
The proposed units above stated
were mentioned merely by way of illus
tration, and the commissioners court
is open to suggestions as TO where the
roads should be mapped out for future
work, and how they should be divided
into units.
I note where I was quoted in one Of
the papers as if might be relying on
federal aid for FL PasO county roads
I never said anything like tEat or even
thought of saying it I realize that
when the boys who furnish copy have
anything to print that they think no
one else would stand for, that it IS
perfectly proper to attribute It to some
county judge, and I would pass this
by as I have other similar purpOrted
interviews, were il not for the fact
that it affords the opportunity to state
that FL PasO- county will have a good
road system without waiting for or
relying on federal aid; not that the
county would turn down federal aid,
but it don't have TO rely on it for its
good roads"

Of the city schools audited
Prior to Monday night, when the
members OF the school board held
session in the Mesa school. it was re-
ported that certain members of the
board had called on mayor Kelly for
the purpose of getting the city to con-
tribute to this work $500 left over from
the appropriation made by the city to
cover the expenses of having the city
books audited, but the mayor is said to
have considered that the school board
should pay for its own auditing without
the assistance Of the city.
The board is figuring that $500 will
be sufficient to have the books audited
and a new system installed. In the
event the work is done, it is proposed
not to go back further than two years

Until comparatively recent years the
imperial capital Of Japan was Kioto.
1t was the Emperor Mutsuhito, about
1869, who made Jeddo his capital.
By this act Jeddo became Kio. and
so its name was changed to that Of

The sailors wear dress modelled upon
that Of the jack tars of western civil

"HE coronation, or rather the
induction into the royal office
of rulers Of Japan, differs
greatly from the ceremonies Of
western nations when a king or en-
peror is to be crowned. To begin with,
the japanese emperor is not crowned,
but there is a very solemn religious
festival. Even today, when Japan has
grown so democratic, the common peo-
pie regard the emperor as a sacred
person and so cast down their eyes
when he passes, it being considered I'M
seemly to look at him.
Instead of being crowned the en-
peror goes i'll state to the wonderful
old castle of MILO. Here he takes a
solemn oath that he will maintain the
laws and do all he can to aid his people.
Then he salutes three sacred en-
blems of authority which are kept
hidden from the sight of man from the
Inauguration of one emperor to that
Of his successor.
These wonderful objects rest upon
sacred shrine. They consist of keen,
double edged sword, a peculiar star
shaped mirror and a crystal globe.
The value Of these three objects is
beyond computation. for it is well
recorded fact that they have been
handed down for hundreds upon hun
dreds of years.
Certain it is that the japanese en-
peror belongs to the most ancient mon
archy in the world. The Emperor
