The Soldier in Uniform.
rom the Chicago Inter. Ocean.

Secretary of War Garrison has in
structed the judge advocate general
to formulate a bill to be passed by
Congress which shall cover these two
points: Prohibit civilians from wear
ing the uniform of the army and to
protect officers and men in uniform
from being disseminated against in
and theaters. The first point presents
no great difficulty. More than thirty
states already have laws on the point.
but the laws are not always enforced.
A federal law would be more effica cious.
1t seems strange that any one should
object to the presence of an officer or
soldier of the United States Army in
uniform. But SO it is. The wonder is
that such a law as proposed has not
been passed long ago.

that there is every assurance that peace

The most important demands of the

that a minister of justice acceptable 10

Discomfort in Japan

FROM the REVIEW or Reviews.
Japanese politics are Just now feeling
the effects of a kind of Samura revival
in part growing out of the tragic suicide
of General Nogi at the time of the death
of the late Emperor Mutsuhito. Combined
with his, however. is the influenced ex-
ercised by the military party since the
Russo-Japanese war. and their demands
for an increase of two divisions to the
army to be added to the garrison in Co
rea. The navy is equally insistent and
with more reason, on a large increase
of the fleet. Both are checked by the
economic condition of the masses of the
people, who are unable to bear the strain
of taxation and the rising cost of living.
In Japan 1t is believed by many that the
military revival is intended to create a
diversion from affairs a home-which
may explode at any moment-by making
raid on China. For the moment this
spirit has been curbed. What is needed
by the Japanese apparently is a govern
ment that will settle down seriously 10

| that. you believed I did so because this
firm is stingy and doesn't want anyone
to know what anyone else is getting.
That is an impression am sorry to see
you have.
"There are in every office and every
factory, Louis, men who are not worth "a
cent more than they are getting and
never will be. They know how to do a
certain amount of work certain way.
They are nothing but human machines
and they would be dead wood our
hands at any higher wages. But we
are forced to keep them because we
can't get anyone to take their places.
But do YOU believe these men can see
this'in themselves? Certainly not. They
have the same exalted opinions of them
selves that everyone else has. We all
think that We're little better than we
really are, you know.
Therefore, when these men hear that
some one else is getting a little more
money than they are. they Immediately
think they are being Disseminated
against. They begin to grumble. They
talk to other employees. Every little
thing that a workman has against this
firm is brought into the argument and
piled up until the offense seems formd-
able The result is general dissatisfac-
tion-lack of good work, lack of disci-
pline. and the lack of everything that
should be present in good working
crew. And the reason has been, all in
the beginning, that a man who really
deserved a raise got it---then told about
