One of the most unjust laws on
the statute books OF Kentucky is
that Anticipated one in regard to
lunacy cases. IL gives the accused
little chance for his liberty and
throws him entirely on the defen-
sive, like he was regarded as a
criminal. Under its provisions, a
few prejudiced relatives or citizens
can easily cause a sane mans con-
viction. This law is relic of the
days of witchcraft and has no place
in our modern courts of justice.
Every man accused of lunacy should
he brought before a State board OF
alienists. before whom all cases
should be tried.

Women in Japan.

The "woman's movement" has begun
in Japan. 1t is in no sense an endeav-
or to obtain the suffrage-that right
has not yet been exercised by all men
there nor is it understood by many of
them. The new woman of Japan,
eccording to the Japan Herald, is to De
freed from the bondage of Asiatic GUS
toms and domestic eruelties which
has been imposed on her for centuries.
The Herald contains a review of an
article by a japanese writer-a man
In the Chuo koron, a pernacular mag
aZlne OF progress In Japan the Wo-
mans movement is known as "Seito-
sEa. The writer. Mr.. Ryutaro Nagai
says: In Japan, women have from
time immemorial been regarded as in
ferlor in every respect to men, and by
her own tacit consent to her position,
woman has come to be so regarded by
law. In the family law of Japan, no
woman if she has a brother living, no
matter if he is an infant, can become
the head of house. In Japan, women
occupy exactly the same position that
they did centuries ago. Every city of
Japan has its flower quarter The ex-
istence of many thousands of licensed
prostitutes and geisha signifies ma
tional consent to traffic in women. No
newspaper has yet had the courage to
inaugurate a fight against this re-
grettable state of affairs"
A Japanese woman, Miss Akiko Hi
ratsuki, has Just written a rather re-
markable book entitled "Marumado,"
in which she says: The new woman is
not satisfied with living the life of a
mass of flesh, without heart or brain.
slave to dishonor, to be sacrificed at
the shrine of mans selfishness. The
new movement amongst women aims
at the destruction of the old laws,
which defined morality to suit the con-
yenlence of man.. Women are human
beings, just as men are, and we should
be allowed to pursue our own object in
life. Before we consent to become a
wife and mother we should definitely
ascertain whether we are suited to a
life such as is entailed by these func-
tions. We should cultivate our char
acter to such an extent as will enable
us to secure a hearing as responsible
human beings. Women should despise
marriage in which she is required
to abandon all authority and indivi-
dualism. Indianapolis News.

1900 People Present at
25th Annual Meeting,
In The Different De.
parlmenis The Best Ever.
Large Number Of Entries to Baby
Show..1he Premium Awards.

Sidney, Me, Sept 27.-(SpeciaD.
In all its glory the 25th annual Sid
ney fair was pulled off, Saturday, with
upwards of 1900 people on the grounds.
The weather man was generous, and
a better day for the occasion could
not have been possible. Although the
couraging, when the break of day
came, Saturday morning, an ideal au-
tumn day was in evidence.
Sidney fair, unlike any other in the
State, has no regular fair grounds, but
the meeting takes place by the road
side, in the fields, orchards, and in
fact the people were scattered all over
the lot. Early in the morning the
throngs of people began to arrive at
the grounds from Waterville, Oakland,
Augusta and neighboring towns. The
purpose Of this little agricultural
meeting is not for the money there is
in it, but simply. an excuse for the
people to get together once year and
enjoy themselves. Judging from what
took place, Saturday, everyone had the
time of their lives.
There was a Midway, not as large
as those at some of the fairs, but a.
that there was plenty of excitement
going on, where the people found
pleasure in indulging in the different
games operated by the fakirs.
In the forenoon, the greater part Of
time was taken up in shaking hands,
and relating to one another the pros :
poets of the potato crop and other i'll
teresting topics in the line of farm
ing, while the women found plenty of
subjects to talk on, that appeared In
terestng to them. About the only
event in the forenoon was the foot ra CO
with four entries, all of Sidney. The
distance was a half mile John Bur
CESS came in first, Clarence Wymau
second, Harold Benson third, and elf
ton Titon fourth.
BY the time that the foot race was
over it was time to think of eating,
and subsequently the crowd COM
menced to make their way to the din
ing hall, where they found awaiting
them one of those typical old ia shion-
ed dinners for which the Sidney
Grange ladies are famous. The din
ner consisted of baked beans of all
kinds, and the manner in which they
were cooked could not help but makt
one believe that some pretty clever
cooks are in existence in that vicinity
