LEADS IN IMMORTALITY
Japan Has the Most Women in Re-
stricted Colonies.

TOXIC, Oct. 29.-That Japan leads
all nations in open white slavery" is
the charge of the Japan Mail which
states that there are more than 3,000,-
600 girls and young women in the pub
lie houses of prostitution in Japan.
Thoughtful, intelligent Japanese have
been considerably aroused by the cam
paien of Professor Hiranumas of the
Waseda University, against this evil.
Professor Hiranumas recently declared
that the "Geisha is ruing Japan" Lit
tie can be done however as long as
the government gives such public
houses consession and license. 1t is
pointed out that Japan is obtaining a
world wide reputation for immortality
Bishop Cecil in Toxic has published
protests in the Jill Shimpo and Koku-
min, received by him from his church
people in Singapore and other cities
in the Malay States, against the flood
ing of those places with immoral Japa-
nese women. The desire is expressed
that the English and Japanese govern
ments get together and agree upon a
plan by which the admission of such
in the Malay cities will be made
next to impossible.

WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-President
Wilson has shut himself in his study
to work out the Mexican problem. He
will emerge from his seclusion with 4
declaration to the world on what to
expect from the United States by way
of settling the affairs in Mexico.
President Wilson, when he promised
the powers that he would enunciate a
definite policy, made the point cleal
that he would resent outside interfer-
ence in Mexico. That he is consider
ing an ultimatum to President Huerta
demanding his retirement is known
definitely
Early today the president was con
sidering the wisdom of sending al
ultimatum to Huerta demanding his
retirement. In view of the commun-
ications received from them, it is be-
lieved that England, Germany and
France will uphold him in such de-
mand If he did so Huerta would
probably be forced to quit. The pres
ident said he was inclined to think
that this was the best plan of elm
mating the dictator without using
force

In U. S. SENATE
NEBRASKA SOL0N DECLARES SUI.
ZER,S REMOVAL WAS DICTAT-
ED BY THE BOSSES.
Machine Control Assembly Not Worthy
of Being Compared to the Recall
Statute, Says Norris.

WASHINGTON, Oct Ex-senator
Norris of Nebraska today expressed in
the senate an emphatic dissent to the
view advanced by opponents of the re-
call to the effect that the removal of
Governor William Sulzer proved the
recall unnecessary.
"A political machine recalled Sui
zer," he said. "He was not recalled
by the people but by a boss. Who can
contend that machine control and bos-
sism, such as was exercised in the Sui
zer case, is equivalent or worthy OF
comparison with the recall provided
by statute"

Plan Campaign and Will-Send Monster
Petition to Congress Urging Amend

ASBURY PARK, N. j., Oct. 29.-The
primary subject of the national w. G.
7. U. convention which convened here
today for a weeks session was to de-
wise means to promote national pro-
hibition by a constitutional amend
ment. Mrs. Lillian N. Stevens of Port
land, Me-, national president, in dis
cussing the convention topic today
said that she hardly hoped that this
goal would be reached as direct re-
suit of any action which could be ta-
ken by the present convention, but
that definite plan of campaign would
be mapped out, which, pursued per-
sistently by the national organization,
would ultimately effect desired amend.
ment of the w. G. 7. Z.
Among the means being considered
to bring before the national congress
the Importance which the women at
tach to the prohibition amendment, the
most prominent is that of petition.
This method will probably be practic-
ed even more extensively and thor"
oughly than ever. Mrs. Stevens said
today that the Webb-Kenyon bill
has proved of great aid to the police
officers in enforcing the laws against
the transportation OF liquor.
"In my own state, Maine" she SAID,
Il have had ample opportunity to
watch the progress of police regula-
ton. Before the Webb-Kenyon law
was enacted shipments of liquor lay
around the railway depots and ware
houses and the public couldn't touch
them Now these shipments are
seized, held for the time required by
the law and then turned into the sew
er. Of course it hasn't by any means
cut off drinking liquor entirely-it new
er can-that's why we want national
prohibition.
"We expect to have another Hobson
in congress when the regular session
conyenes to present our memorial for
the amendment, and push it through.
II probably will not pass, but we'll
continue to fight for it. Moreover we
shall keep up the fight in the several
state, and will cherish any local ter
ritorial gains just as much as former
w." Mrs. Stevens and other leaders
in the national body expressed great
pleasure at the stand taken by Pres
dent Wilson and members of his cab
net.
"The influence of such men as Mr..
Wilson, Secretary Bryan, Secretary
Daniels, and Secretary McReynolds
,annot but have it's moral effect upon
he men of the nation" she said. High |
ribute was paid to the press of the

low much more willing than former

which either reflect upon or directly
attack the liquor traffic and interests.
Because the national convention dl-

yertion at Brooklyn, scores OF for-
ign delegates to the latter meeting
we're present today. The total attend

The number of voting delegates, fig-

ing, only on the last day of school, and
a lot of you don't go that often
Didn't you ever read that little
poem, The Calf Path?' 1t tells how a
little calf, pasturing in a field where
the city Of Boston now stands had
gone from one feeding spot to anoth-
er, winding in and out round about.
The boy driving the calf home follow
ed the same trail, in and out, round
about Finally the path became well
beaten track, and eventually a road !;
later it was street and immense
buildings were built along either side
And all this time the people have been
| following the calf path, and cursing
the calf instead of lining out a straight
and direct route.
Still Growing Corn.
Back in the middle states they grow
corn; father raised corn and now the
sons are growing it. Raise corn every
year, sell it at the elevator and com
plain about the weather and say the
crops are not as good as they used to
be. But that was before diversified
farming was followed.
"Aalfalfa is especially adapted to
this section for the reason that you
have here great undeveloped dairy
region. This is in truth a natural
dairy section. Alfalfa is great dairy
stock food. All over the east and the
middle west the farmers are breaking
out of the calf paths and taking up the
growth Of alfalfa along with their 9TH
er crops. But they cannot grow good
alfalfa seed. They must look to the
west for that. And right there is an
other reason why alfalfa in this coun
try should be the premier crop. You
can either feed it or sell it and you
can always find market for the seed"

spoke to a magnificent audience at
the new high school auditorium last
night on Education" and he proved
to be a magnetic and fOrceful speak
er. He said that he selected the topic
because he was afraid that during the
day the people of this section
had become tired of hearing SO
much about alfalfa He intersperced
his remarks with some facts about
raising corn and in talking on his
theme of Education" he told OF per-
sonal experiences while at school and
how he came to become interested in
+. corn growing. He paid high tribute
to the enterprise and energy of those
who gained their knowledge on the
farm. He said he was reminded of a
story of a school teacher who had
passed on the merits of his students.
He said that while all the others had
mo tk a
farmer boys card contained the nota-
ton, mot bright Will probably make
a good farmer" He declared that this
teacher did not realize the gross ignor-
ance displayed in Understanding the
ability of the farmer.

Follow Diversified Plan.
During the course Of his remarks at
the high school last night Professor
Holden said:
Don't pay too much attention to
any one particular branch of farming.
Follow the diversified plan. Why, do
you know there are lot of farmers
nowadays who value their pigs more
than they do their boys? It's fact.
If you had bunch of hogs over in an
adjoining pasture and some one over
there was taking care of them for you
it is likely that you would find time to
go every day or SO and see how the pigs
were coming along. But you seldom
have time to go to the schoolhouse to
see how your boy or girl Is progress
