one of the most curious develop
ments of the increased cost of living is
now making itself felt here in the loud
cry of protest which has been raised
b! patrons of quick lunch counters ov-
er the adjustment of the free catsup
bottle. 1t is even reported that free
catsup may become a political slO-
gan through the organization of New
YCrk's army of hasty eaters who have
come to look upon the condiment as
one of their inalienable rights of which
the trusts are now accused of depriv-
ing them. For many years the free
catsup bottle has been an important
feature of the lunch counters at which

ers are accustomed to snatch their
monday repaSt at cost Of from five
TO fifteen cents. and the amount which
has daily been consumed without
charge would be sufficient To float a
good-siZed ship. Now, however. the
Clict has gone forth that because of
the increased cost of food there will
be no more free catsup served with
low priced meals. Persons consum-
ing only a five-cept lunch, will if they
want catsup, be compelled to pay five
cents for it. Consumers OF meals cost
ing ten To fifteen cents will receive
free a half portion-that is one small

lunch counter who consumes a tweAN-
five cent meal will receive free Of
charge fun portion so-callei-cOn-
sisting of two dabs. Probably no other
curtaiment of the midday meals, AMI
there have been many of them during
the last year, has met with such gen.
eral denunciation, ami already talk has
been heard here of the establishment
of political body pledged to give its
vote only to such candidates as shall
work for the restoration of the free
catsup bottle as the first step toward
the reduction of the price of food.

DAKOTA DEMOCRATS AoPEEus

DAKOTA DEMOCRATS HOPEFUL.
Bismarck, N. D., July 24-The dem
ocrats have strong hopes of carrying
North Dakota in the presidential cleo
ton next November for the first time
in the history Of the state. The party
leaders rounded up here today to re-
organize the state committee and
take other steps preliminary to start
ing uponEa vigorous campaign in be-
half of the national and state tickets.
North Dakota is peculiarly situated
so far as the national situation is con-
eerned. On the republican side it is
strongly Rrogressive, but the leading
Of the progressive republicans all
along has been towards LaFollette
rather than Roosevelt In the pri-
maries last March the state was cas-
lily carried by the Wisconsin sena-
tor against both Taft and Roosevelt.
Many Of the progressive are in
clined to look upon Roosevelt as hav-
ing been responsible for the defeat
or elimination from the presidential
race, of LaFollette. Democratic in
fluences are being employed to foster
the feeling of resentment against
Roosevelt in the hope that part
of the progressive republican vote
may be turned to Wilson. Should this
move meet with any large amount OF
success it is reasonable to expect a
democratic victory in North Dakota
next fall. W
The democrats themselves are pre-
pairing to go into the campaign with
more confidence than they have ever
displayed before Steps are being
taken to smooth ut all of the &C
tional differences within their ranks
and to present a solid front They
believe they may be able to elect
their state ticket and win at least one
congressional seat in the event of the
state going democratic in the presi

Development OF Japan when it is con-
sidered that the constitution was pro-
claimed as recently as 1889, and that
the first national parliament met IN
1891 It suggests possibilities OF fu-
ture changes in the Orient which
may go far to determine the course
and character OF history throughout
the world.
The foremost figure in this great
Japanese movement is Mutsuhito, the
present emperor. But it is not alone
with reference to the domestic policy
of Japan or the wars waged by that
country against China and Russia
that the career of the mikado should
be considered. The revolution begun
in Japan is now, under different cir
cumstances, at work in China The
changes going on in the latter coun-
try aresin, many respects as remark
able as those which now form part
of the history of Japan. The Ieaven
of modern civilization is at work. and
in time 1t will affect the whole Of the
vast population Of the Chinese en-
pire isvss
Fear has been expressed by many
men concerning the fate Of the white
race in case the yellow should learn
the art Of war" 1t is a matter OF
supreme importance to Europe and
America, but probably more immedi,
ately to this country than to any 9TH
er in the western world Should Chi
ma, following the example Of Japan,
establish train and equip an army
and navy in proportion to it's popu-
lation, measured by Japanese stand
ards, it alone, but more especially in
combintion with Japan, might become
menace to the independence of
more than one Occidental nation
Fortunately, race and national antog-
onism will tend to divide the domin-
ion of the Far East between Japan
and China and in measure to neu-
tralize the menace of Oriental aggres-
sion against Europe and the United
States.
Still greater hope for the continued
peace of the world is found in other
phases of the revolution now going
on in the Orient. 1t has not been ex-
clusively political and military. It'll
has been largely economic, and eco
nomic development tends toward
peace. oetarr
1t presents also philosophic es-
pect which should not be overlooked.
Many men in the Orient feel that
their acceptance of the fruit of west
ern civilization involves no abandon
ment of those principles in the philos-
ophy of life which they cherish as
superior. Viewed from their stand
point, the Orient has a mission, not
of war but distinctly of peace with
reference to the Occident. In the ebb
and flow of mutual influence, justifi-
cation of this view may be acknowl-
edged by the latter Then. not con
quest and slaughter but enduring
peace and the blessings of mutual
good viii may be the fruit of the
revolution which, starting in Japan, is
spreading with wonderful power
through the most important part Of
the continent of Asia.-Denver Re

THE MIKADO AND JAPAN'S
REVOLUTION

The serious illness of Mutsuhito
mikado or emperor of Japan, directs
special attention to one of the most
notable men Of modern times and the
leading figure in what in many re-
spects has been the most remarkable
revolution In the history of nations.
Mutsuhito is the one hundred and
twenty-third in the line of the mika-
dos. But he was the first one to show
himself capable of coping with the
power of the shoguns, who were
sort of major domos, corresponding to
those mayors of the palace" who
were practically, the rulers of France
in the closing era Of the Merovingian
dynasty. AS those early French kings
were reduced to ciphers by the may
ors of the palace, SO participation in
the affairs of government had for
years been denied the mikados Of
Japan Under pretense that their
whole time was occupied in matters
of religion, the mikados were so iso-
lated that they became in the thought
of the common people almost myth
cal in character. The shotgun was the
real ruler, the head of the civil and
military power. and chief of that feud-
al system which played so conspicu-
GUS a part in the history and govern
ment OF Japan prior to the ascension
of the present emperor.
Mutsuhito was born in 1852 and he
ascended the throne on February 49,,
1867. When he was but year old
one of the most memorable events in
the history of Japan occurred, when
Commodore Perry of the American
navy visited that country in 1853 In
the early days of 1854 Perry negotiat-
ed commercial. treaty between Jap
an and the United States. That was
the beginning of the great revolution
which Kaeqnired enormous volume and
momentum in the early period OF
Mutsuhito's leign and is still pro
Z dacing changes of a most significant
character in all the Far Feast. Some
OF the leading men Of the nation be
came imbued with the spirit of pro
gress. They saw the need OF
changes which would put Japan ii
touch with Occidental civilization Il
1860 Japanese embassy was SEN
to the United States, and in the fol
lowing year a similar embassy visited
the courts of Europe.
During the years Immediately fol
lowing the visit of Commodore Perry
the necessity of re-establishing this
authority of the mikado became evi
dent. Following his \accession il
1857 the shogun was completely shorl
Of his power. An armed attempt b.
him to regain it in the following yea
was defeated, and under the guidanci
and with the aid of iour of the lead
ing men Of the empire and their fol
lowers, the authority of the mikad'
was completely established agains
the shogun's pretensions.
