distinctions without differences. For
instance, on such an important issue
as the increase of the land tax the
same party has been working, now in
support, now in opposition. All par
ties and factions having too often
been found guilty of opportunism.
Another peculiar feature of parties
in Japan is the almost complete lack
Of grouping on economic class lines.
There have been geographical lineups,
which have been partly economic and
there have been attempts to line up
the business men together. But, as
indicated above, even the land tax is
sue has not succeeded in forming any
permanent alignment, and the tariff
question has not yet affected the po-
litical situation.
The burning topic Of socialism has
not made any perceptible impression
on the political world of Japan Sew
eral years ago socialistic party was
organized, but was speedily forbidden
and suppressed by the government.
Moreover. the anarchist conspiracy
against the emperor only served to
increase the severity of the officials
toward socialists of all kinds-good,
bad or Indifferent, Therefore there is
no socialist party.

Green of Texas and New York city,

woman in the world and her active as

ness that extends across the country
has decided views of financing the
American farmer. He has practical
get-up-and-do-it ideas that have big,
substantial bearing on the subject.
Although in business within a

no one seems yet to have got down to
brass tacks with a real financial uplift
plan for the farmer.
Two phases of the farmers predica-
ment have enlisted my personal inter-
est because they run directly counter
to the way my mother has always
handled her wealth in relation to the
public good.
First is the rate of interest the
farmer has to pay for money he Dor
rows. Government statistics show
that 100000 farmers of the United
States pay an average interest rate
of S1s per cent upon borrowed cap
ital of about SO, 1872, 100000 to work
crops on land valued at 100000, 600.
Since my mother began her career as
business woman she has never asked
more than per cent year for the
use of her money. The bulk of her
loans have been at rates considerably
below 6 per cent. In France and Ger
many the farmer gets all the money he
wants at from 31a to Az per cent

Washington.-Th American Gov
eminent is confronted by what Official
Washington regards as the most deli
cate situation in its relations with
Mexico that has yet developed since
armed revolution disturbed the peace
of the southern republic.
The official declaration by Manuel
Cara Adalpe, Mexican Minister OF
Public instruction, who is acting as
Minister for Foreign Affairs, to the eff
feet that John Lind, the Presidents
personal envoy, would be non grata
unless he brought credentials in due
form and was prepared TO recognize
the Government of Mexico caused a
decided stir.
The threatened rebuff from the
Huerta administration to the mission
of Mr.. Lind, on the way to Mexico to
expound the hopes of the United
States for a suspension of hostilities
and an orderly, constitutional election
in Mexico, drew from Senator Bacon.
chairman of the Foreign Relations
Committee, a declaration on the floor
Of the Senate that the present situa-
ton was the gravest in years, much
graver than confronted us when the
Cuban question was here"
President Wilson was unmoved by
advices from Mexico City depicting
the Huerta Government as inimical TO
Mr.. Linds mission. He let it be
known, too, that so far as he was able
TO learn there was not the slightest
demand from the American people for
intervention and declined TO discuss
alternatives that might be used in
event the efforts of the American Gov
eminent to help restore peace in Mex
leo We're rejected
The President is confidently hope
full that "a peaceable solution of the
Mexican trouble can be effected He
made it plain TO callers that until ad-
vised officially to the contrary he
would continue to regard as incredible
the statements issued on behalf of
President Huerta declaring Mr.. Lind's
presence in Mexico undesirable.
While there is little disposition to
doubt the veracity of the news dis
patches describing the attitude of the
Huerta Government against Lind, hope
is entertained among Administration
officials that upon mature reflection no
such intimations will be formally con-
veyed to the Washington authorities.

lap Parties Formed About Men
Rather Than Principles.
Conditions Are We'll Nigh Inexplicable
to Many-ResuIt Is Considerable
Confusion-Oifferent Periods of
Country's Political Progress.

Tokyo, Japan.-Japanese politics is
we'll nigh inexplicable to many per
sons, especially occidentals. The sud
den and frequent changes of cabinets,
in part or in whole, are difficult TO un-
derstand. And, while wo can make
no claim to perfect understanding Of
the mysteries, We may be able to
throw little light on the subject.
In the first place, it should be kept
in mind that political parties in Japan
are more personal than political. Fac
tons and parties have formed around
men rather than measures, around
persons more than principles. The his
tory of political parties in New Japan
may be divided into five periods. as
follows
lS67-1SS2-Embryonic period.

1S90-1S9S-Developing period.

The chief political parties which
have been organized in Japan during
lHC past OF y Ccll IIeiNC Slil AlldSti oSSN
the point just mentioned The first
party in the field was the jiyuto, or
liberal party, which was organized by
Count then Mr. ltagaki, and which
consisted largely of his personal fol
lowing. The next party was the
shinpoto, or progressive party,
which was started by Mr. (now Count
Okuma and his friends. The chief diff
terence in these two parties, so far as
principles were concerned, was that
the liberals were more radical than
the progressives; but the greater diff
ference was the personal one. In more
recent days it has been Ito and his
proteges who have dominated the
seiyukai Small factions have rallied
around smaller men; while personal
considerations have largely caused
splits in factions and parties.

this feature is a not unnatural surviv-

KILLS HER HUSBAND.
Mrs. Emma Grub Shoots Wealthy
Distiller In SeIf-Defense.

Spencer, n. C.-Henry Clay Grub,
a wealthy distiller, was shot to death
in his home at Churchland near here
by his wife, Mrs Emma Grub.
Grubb lived an hour after the shoot
ing. Mrs. Grub is in critical con-
dition.
According to Mrs Grubb's statement
the dead man had been drinking and
attacked her with knife. She is
severely cut about the neck and Shout
ders and one ear is almost severed
from the head. In the encounter, Mrs.
Grub says, she fired three shots, two
of which pierced Grubb's breast and
the third entered the abdomen. He
lived less than an hour dying shortly
before two o'clock.
A coroner's jury exonerated Mrs.
Grubb on the ground of self-defense.

For years my mother has held to
the belief and has absolutely lived up
to it, as far as her influence and power
have gone, that every community is
entitled to the full benefit of its pros

given locality belonged to that locality
and should always Re reinvested in
that locality. Our books are divided

in forming the Yamamoto cabinet.
The feature mentioned above has
naturally evolved another peculiar fea-
ture; not only party ties. but party
principles, have been too loose. Or
the reverse may be partly economic,
and these have been so vague and
indefinite, party ties have been very
loose. The party platforms have too
often consisted of glittering general
titles and lacking positively distin-
gushing principles. In some cases
