SEES DEMOCRACY Of WEST MAKING
INROADS TO COUNTRIES Of EAST
By K. K. KAWAkAMI. AUTHOR OF
ASIA AT HE DOOR"

, Vancement of the empire. were only
half-heaTted in observing the princi-
/ lies OF constitutional government. To
be sure. Prince Ito was the father OF
the constitution" but his conception
from the idea universally accepted in
such constitutional monarChies as
Great Britain.
Okuma's Political Ideals.
DUMAS political ideals were far
more liberal. He opposed the bureau
crazy and strOve to organize a cabi.
net which represented the des res of
the people. Prince Ito. though high
minded and patriotic in his own way,
echoed the sentiment and desires of
the bureaucrats and of the elder states
men, Ct whom he was the most promi-
Iient figure. He regarded the COnstitu.
ton as descending from on high. and
adhered to the idea that the cabinet
was responsible only to the sovereign.
Okuma. on the contrary. regarded the
constitution as a document adopted in
difference to the wishes of the people
and urged that the cabinet should be
responsible to the people, thus s2Cur-
ing for the imperial household a place
which could not be disturbed by the
turmoil of political strife.
To realize his political ideals Okuma
has deliberately refrain I'd from join ne
the oligarchical group formed by the
elder statesmen, and has persistently
attacked the bureaucracy. Herein lies
the characteristic which differentiates
Okuma from the other great statesmen
of Japan. But for his resourcefulness
and his tremendous energy. and his
personal magnetism, his star would
nave waned long since, for in Japan
it is no light task to hold out against
the influence of the elder statesmen
and the power of the bureaucracy.
Status Of Individual.
We may learn something of Count
Okuma's political ideals from a peru
sal of his writings The People Of
Japan, he says in one of his essays,
look up to the state and family with
spirit of reverence and obedience
Having for ages been guided by a
sense of duties to ancestors, rulers ana
superiors, the people have as yet made
but little progress in consciousness Of
the rights of the individual and are
not clear in their ideas about person
ality. With the collapse of the feudal
system considerable laxity has over
taken the family institution, accom-
panied by change in the ideas per
tanning to the state. In consequence
Of this a shock has been given to the
entire fabric built on the old ideas of
duty. while conceptions about the
rights of individuals have not yet been
fully conceived. Japan is now law
governed nation with a constitution
guaranteeing every kind of right and
liberty, But made laws are es-
sentially non-operative and are doom
ed to remain dead letters when left to
themselves; man alone can give them
vitality. and usefulness. In virtue Of
the constitution the Japanese people
possess the rights of citizenship and
in virtue of the self-government sys-
TEN a voice in local administration.
And yet the majority of them are in

For good or evil the democracy OF
the West Is steadily making inrOad in
to the countries Of the East. India
awakening from the torpOr OF centu.
rics, is demanding a greater freedom
of her British QVerlOrd. China, having
overthrow the ManchI dynasty, is
aspiring for republican government
Yuan Shih-kai. judging from the pre-
sent Indications. mag prove a king
stock replacing king log, but the
fact remains that China has become
saturated with democratic ideas.
Japan, which the Honorable John
Barrett fifty terms the schoomaster
of the Orient, is undoubtedly largely
responsible for the general awakening
Of the Far East To her neighhors
on the Asian continent. Japan's sue
cess as a political and commercial
power must have appeared to be the
result Of the constitutional govern
mcnt which she adopted % years ago.
Indeed the constitutional government
in Japan has passed the stage of expert
ment. and is entering into new era
wherein her statesmen and, publicists
democratic both in name and in reali-
ty. Hare on the islands of Nippon
the East has met the West, and the
civilization that has resulted from the
contact of the two worlds is exercising
potent influence over the peoples in
habiting the continent Of Asia.
The Meaning Of the Okuma Cabinet.
The form on of a new cabinet I'M
der the leadership Of Count Okuma is
but an Indication Of the democratic
tendencies which Japanese politics has
come to assume. For more than three
decades Okuma has been a Staunch
advocate of a popular government. AS
early as 1881 Okuma, then Minister
of the Treasury, urged the government
to adopt constitution granting the
people the right of participating in the
administration of state affairs.
His colleagues, among whom were Ito.
Yamagata and Matsukata were relue-
9ant to accept Okuma's idea, regarding
1T too radical to suit the existing con-
ditions of the empire. Okuma imme-
diately resigned the portfolio and or
ganized the Progressive party. The
assiduous toll of 0kuma and his politi-
cal party, coupled with the propagan-
da Of the Liberal party headed by
Count Itagaki, Familiarity known as the
father of liberty" was chiefly instru-
mental in the PRONUNCIATION in 1889 of
a constitution and the Inauguration in
the year following of a parliament
consisting of the House of Representa-
tives and the House of Peers.
Thus the constitutional government
was launched without bloodshed or
even serious disturbance, but the prac-
teal working Of the new government
system was to such idealists as Oku-
ma far from what it should be. The
cabinet did not in many cases repre-
sent the will of the people and was
often inclined to resort to unconstitu-
tional practices. The so-called "elder
statesn m" the group of patriots who
rendered their country an invaluable
service in the early days Of the New

FATHER SAYS ALLEGATIONS
OF DAUGHTER ARE UNTRUE
MARK .STURTEVANT MAKES OBJ
JECTIONS To EBERT CAS-
TEEL As GUARDIAN.

Replying to the charges of his
daughter. Fay Sturtevant, as contain
ed in her answer to his petition to
have her declared an incompetent.
Mark sturtevant Of Pilot Rock to-
day entered emphatic denials to most
Of her allegations and set up a strong
objection to the appointing Of Elbert
Casteel as her guardian as requested
by her. He alleges that Casteel Is
not competent or qualified to act as
her guardian and asserts that the
reason his daughter wants him named
is because she thinks she could es-
cape from his custody and run away
with the man she wants to marry or
else get his consent to the marriage.
In her answer. Miss Sturtevant de-
MED her fathers charges that she Is
contemplating matrimony, but, in
his reply. the father repeats them. He
states that the man she wants to mar
~ is now trying to borrow money so
they can go into Washington and be
married.
Miss Sturtevant had also alleged
that her father had squandered mon
ey left her by her mother in riotous
and reckless living and had never ac-
counted 20 her for 1t. This he denies
declaring he had spent all of the
money on her and had so made his
accounting He also denies that he
is an habitual drunkard or that he
has been incapacitated by use of Ii
quor for directing his own affairs or
assuming the guardianship Of the per-
son and estate Of his daughter.
The hearing Of the case is set for
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. Pc
terson and Ballard are representing
the young lady and Judge Fee Is at
torney for Sturtevant.

almost thwarted the plans Of the
promoters OF the Civic Coffee Club
this morning. An oiled rag had been
left lying on the window casing in
the rear of the upstairs room of the
Hendricks building. corner Main and
Webb. and the combustiuh had caus-
ed a blaze which ignited the casing.
burned through it and was almost in
TO the attic when discovered. Jack
Loding and Grover Cunningham made
the discovery at 6:15 and reused the
firemen who responded quickly and,
with a Pyrene extinguisher. put the
blaze out with a minimum OF dam
age. In another half hour. Chief Bel

gained such headway in the attic that
a serious loss could not have been
averted
