RIPLEY SEES CRISIS AHEAD
President of Santa Fe Railroad De-
eiares That Congress Is Danger
eusIy Radical.

Chicago.-E. P. Ripley, president OF
the Santa Fe railroad, is distrustful of
the countrys political future. He has
no downright fear that the United
States is heading for disaster; the
tendency may be checked In time to
prevent a catastrophe. There are GER
tain signs which make him hopeful
that the headlong course will be
stopped, but he is far from sure.
The house and the senate, in his
view. are dangerously radical. The
one compensating factor in Washing
ton is that which is relative to the
railroads. He believes that the Inter
state Railroad Commission is less per-
iious than 1t was, say, year ago
Mr.. Ripley returned from California
yesterday and went direct to his home
in Riverside. The president of the
Santa Fe is gradually recovering from
an acute attack OF indigestion, which
occurred seven weeks ago In Cali
fornia.
Il suppose ! have unwittingly ac-
quired the reputation of being a pess-
imist, said Mr.. Ripley. II am per-
fectly conscious of not agreeing with
the majority of people who elect leg
islators, but long experience as rail
road man and as an observer of poll
tical tendencies impels me to say that
the United States of today, In its gen
political aspect, that Is to say. in its
political trend, is not at all what the
founders OF this country intended"

JOSEPH BRoIDE sTIRs THINGS
Three-Year-oId Boy Wins Crowds
Plaudits as Star In Acts Of
Near Tragedy.

Chicago.-Joseph Broide, three
years old, crowded five thrilling ad-
ventures into almost as few minutes
when he sauntered forth from his
home, 1149 West Madison street, all
alone. Here is what happened before
Joseph was yanked across the paren-
tai threshold by a frightened mother:
Express wagon wrecked by driver
to save Joseph from serious injury OF
death; driver badly bruised.
East-bound car stopped by motor
man with violent shaking-up of pas
sengers just as It was on top of
Joseph. who grinned at his feat.
West-bound car ditto, with the ad-
ditional thrill of Joseph being scooped
up by the fender. Great experience
for Joseph.
Automobile, In front of which Jo-
seph had dropped from car fender,
swerves sharply and misses Joseph by
an inch. Joseph somewhat peeved at
not halting the speeder
Team of big horses knocks Joseph
down as he stands in middle of street
viewing the lines OF stalled cars to
the east and west--all due to Joseph's
adventures. Joseph climbs to his feet
smiling and walks out from under the
horses. s.s
Several hundred men and women
cheer Joseph as his mother rushes out
and takes him into the house. Joseph

San Francisco, Cal.-Failure of an

legendary $18,000,000 treasure cache
on Cocos island. In the South seas,
was recorded here when the British
steampshiD Melmore put into port.
These tabled millions, according to
a dying sailor. were buried on Cocos
island by officials of the Peruvian
church early in the last century Mrs.
Barry Till and Miss Davis, English
women, were told by the sailor on his
death bed of his knowledge of the
location of the cache and supplied
with charts. The women succeeded
In interesting British capitalists, and
the Melmore was purchased for the
expedition.
Mrs. Till and Miss Davis accompa-
MED the party and directed the oper-
ations Of the fortune hunters.
After many weary months of labor
with pick and shovel the searchers
gave up their quest and started home
ward. The Melmore put in at Pana,

of the party left the vessel, to pro-

route.

Japanese youth and youths in Canada

DR.. Pritchett points out, however,

Japanese people from other highly

In order, therefore, that Japan may
be in touch with other nations, Japan.

English, and 1t ia not too much to say
that in Japan today English, with

procured the enforcement of an ordi-

butter and bread are sold.
Following the baby-saving show of
last spring, and still keeping In mind
lessons of the milk show of the prev
lous year, members of the association,
determined to safeguard as far as
they could the lives of the babies, en-
trusted to the care of their nurseries
and started systematic Investigation
Of milkshops In the neighborhood Of
The nurseries

which undertook the investigation ap-
piled to leading physicians who have
had the work OF baby-saving under
their direction and procured the serv-
Ices OF an investigator who has had
experience in public health work.
visits were made to several hun
dred shops In the neighborhoods of
the day nurseries. The shops were
viewed from every angle that would
make them places where 1t would be
prejudicial to the child health to have
Its milk supply stored. The source of
supply, the condition of refrigerating
facilities, occupancy of the house and
the methods employed in handling
were gone into and a card index was
made Of all places visited.
The research showed many fragrant
violations of the milk regulations of
the department of health. All sorts of
conditions were discovered.
One of the chief causes of complaint
was found to be the cigar and candy
shops In which milk was sold In bulk.
In many of these no attempt was
made to keep the milk at an even
or to ward off the flies
which infested the places. The milk
vas carelessly handled and dipped out
With any sort of dipper and in any
ort. of way.
Reports of these conditions were in
'tantly made to the bureau of health,
which acted upon them in two cases,
evoking licenses, and in every in
tance prohibiting the sale of dipped
# loose milk in any stores except
hose which handle bread, eggs or
utter and which are qualified to give
roper care.
The object Of the association is TO
afeguard, by concerted effort, the
hildren who are. entrusted to various
urseries and to study their home en-
ironment and the conditions which
fleet their health.

every reason to be glad and proud over
this. 1t has arisen not only out of
the need of the Japanese for a con-
venient medium Of communication and
the availability of the English language
for that purpose. but 1t means also a
genuine liking of the Japanese for the
language and the institutions OF Great
Britain. 1t represents, in fact, an Of.
fort on the part of this progressive
nation to adopt into her own civiliza-
ton those moral and practical ideals
which she has recognized with friend
ly admiration In Great Britain and in
America
Other Points Of Similarity.
Not only is the form of education
much the same in America and Japan,
but comparison of Japanese and
American student ideals shows extra.
ordinary points of similarity. The ia.
panese show alertness, resourceful-
ness and power of Initiative. Further
more, in the Japanese student is the
extraordinary individual ambition to
succeed. coupled generally with an

takes his education not simply as
personal opportunity, but as a part of
his service to his sovereign and to his
country. 4,s
1t goes without saying that in Japan,
as in other parts of the world, there
are students who are lazy and indif.
ferent and who fall by the wayside;
but on the other hand, the average
college student Of Japan looks upon
his education less In the light of per.
'sonal opportunity and more In the
nature of call to serve his sover.
eign and his country. College spirit
is with him synonymous with patriot
ism. 1t is not local, but national.
With him, education is q matter of
personal ambition, but always with the
ideal of serving his native land.
The influence that goes far to con.
ceal from the outside observer the
fact that the underlying ideals of the
Japanese and American student are
much alike 10 the difference In the
philosophy OF life between the east
and the west.
The philosophy that the Japanese
student learns teaches him to repress
his emotions. to conceal from the
world the evidences OF suffering and
of Joy. OF love and of hate. The phil.
osophy of the westerner permits him
to exhibit freely these emotions.
But the educated westerner who can
look below the-surface' to the human
nature beneath will understand that a
Japanese gentleman has a heart In his
bosom, even If his code of life teaches
him to express his Joy and his sor
row in ways that to western eyes
seem cold.
