The Crisis in Japan
1.-The Political Riots.
BY Frederic J. Haskin.

americans seem greatly astonished
over the insults which Japanese
crowds are heaping upon their public
Officials. 1t has always Deer thought
Throughout the world at large that
everything in Japan worked from the
government downward instead of
from the people upward, and that Of
llclaldom was specially sacred. All this
mas Deen true to a great extent on the
surface, but underground forces have
peen at work for a long time to loosen
the grip the bureaucrats so long have
had on public affairs. Foreigners in
general. and Americans in particular,
nave known little of all this, and even
amen residents in Japan are surprised
at the vehemence with which the Jill
and other influential are
lampooning such revered statesmen
ana military patriots as Yamagata,
katsura and Terauchi. Tha stoning of
katsura himself and several members

quite confounding to the conventional

in Japan for a long time, and the pow
erty brought on by the war with Rus
STA, plus the endless conflict between
old customs and the new western
ways, have contributed to it.
Bureaucratic. and they have been in
the majority, have always displayed
great contempt for the demands of
the people. They have considered
themselves almost as divinely APP
pointed as the emperor himself. The
people thought the same until lately,
but that day mas passed forever. One
reason why progress has not been
mad faster has been the unfitness of
the members of the house of represent
tatives themselves. AS a rule, the dem
Ocratic members have been venal or
greatly inferior to the b~ureaucrats.
The capable ones usually joined the
bureaucrats by accepting titles.
Lack of respectable political organi-
zation has also prevented unity of ac-
ton. The principal parties are Sci
yukai and Kokuminto, but neither has
ever controlled affairs. Indeed, the
best men have stood aloof from them,
and it took the stirring events of the
present crisis to show that the rise of
representative party government has
begun in Japan.

PASSING EVENTS

For the week the calendar and the
weather have agreed. The hillsides
are brow and steamy, where a fort
night 6 they were covered with
snow. The early blossoms have made
their appearance and the birds have
begun really to sing. The: streams are
little rivers, the crossings are muddy
and the alleys are beginning to show
the accumulation of winter rubbish
which had been covered charitably by
the winter mantle of snow. The
weather man has persistently hung out

made good, even to the extent of
bringing about a pleasant-Weather in

azure. The small boy has found spots
dry enough for marbles and his sister

week has brought a decided advance in
the approach of spring, measured by
every sign and by all signs. We en-
JOY the glow of the sunshine and we
take deep breaths of the spring air:
we watch for some new sign and are
happy when we find it. But we can

the necessity for housekeeping is at
hand and that the sooner we get II
started, the earlier we shah be through

partments will soon issue their spring
orders. If we anticipate these direc-
tons. we shall ia ourselves some

expenses for the coming year, it is
possible to make comparisons. The
appropriations of some of Missoula's
sister cities are already at hand. The
comparison in these instances is to
the advantage of the commission form
of government. When Ill of the bud
gets are available, the comparison will
be all the more interesting. In the
case of Billings, the figures which
were received here the other day show
that the appropriations for the coming
fiscal year in the Yellowstone capital
are twice as great as those. which Mis-
soula has made. These two cities are
of the same relative importance in the
two districts of Montana. The COM
parison is all the more valuable. on this
account. The critics of the commits
sion form of government should no be
too hasty in drawing their conclu-
sions. The average citizen has not

MAYOR ATTACKS
FIRE ALARM
EXPENSE
Declares $500 a Month for Caring
for One Thousand Yearly
Calls Too Much.

Mayor Woodward Monday made an
other attack on the city's new $780,
600 fire alarm system when he dis
covered that it was costing $500 a
month to operate this system and a
private fire department telephone ex-
change. The Mayor told the Council
Finance Committee that he thought it
was an outrage that five operators and
superintendent were required to re-
ceive 1000 fire alarms a year
Fire Chief W. B. Cummings, who
had been invited to the meeting, de-
clared that the resolutions ordering
employment of these men had gone
through the regular channels, includ-
ing the Mayors office, and that he
had thought the Mayor was aware of
this new expense that had been on
the fire department pay roll for two
months.
Mayor Woodward admitted that he
signed the resolution of Council au-
thorizing the private telephone eX-
change, but said that he did not know
what he was doing when he did it.
He declared that the fire alarm con-
tract was a moral obligation and alb
solutely Illegal.
Each one of these operators is
paid $50 a month and the superin-
tendent is paid $3.50" said Mayor
Woodward. That is entirely too
much. l want to inform the Finance
