Japan's New Departure.
1ond Times Dispatch.

Richmond Times Dispatch.
 It may be taken as assured that Japanese civilization, despite its fair outward seeming, has not attained the full measure and stature of that of the nations of the West. When l Cabinet Minister resigns because he is charged with the acceptance of a beggarly $500 bribe, is becomes evi- dent at once that all that is gilded-- even though 1t be with the fine artis try for which Japan is famed-is not gold
 Cabinet ministers in this country are not for sale at any plice, but if a black sheep by any evil chance should wander into the fold, we can all con- ceive of his indignant amazement at being appraised at $5000. Why, in this land of the free and home of the brave, that sum of money would be scorned by Chicago AlGerman
 It is true that Viscount Oura denies that he accepted the cash in question but some of his critics pretend to be in possession of what is vulgarly known as "the goods" Whatever the exact facts may be as to this mere de tail, the incident is disappointing not to say dishcartenine. If Japan is going in for this sort of thing, she should import an Indiana Mayor ant, name him Minister of Public Instruc- ton. He would make all the S5000 tinhorns and thimble-riggers hide their heads in shame.

QUALITY NOT QUANTITY IN
 COLLEGE WORK

College and university education has outgrown the boom stage" de- clares Dr. Samuel P. Capen, in the Annual Report of the U. S. Commis- sioner of Education, just issued.
 "The day of the academic promoter of the imitation of values is overn continues Dr. Capen. Expansion is still going on, but for the most part unaccompanied by the frenzied adver- Using so common in the past and en- couragingly free from the optimistic confusion of prospects and realities. The developments of the year streng- then the condition which has been rip- ening for some time that higher edu- cation is now looking to its foundation and setting its house in order.
 Colleges and universities have come under the sway of the slogan efficiency. Surveys undertaken by outsiders and by officials of the insti- tuition to be examined have become increasingly frequent. There has been vigorous activity on the part of several voluntary associations that concern themselves with standards of entrance, graduation, and constitu- tional equipment. Some of this ac- tivity has crystalized in the form of recommendations that will effect edu- cational procedure over considerable areas. The adoption of some form of group system has been reported to the U. s. Bureau of Education by 2l institutions, undoubtedly only frac- tion of the whole number of colleges that have taken this step"
 The idea that it is quality rather than quantity of work done by col lege student that counts toward ef- fectivc education, has already received tangible recognition in few institu. tions through the granting of extra credit for quality, says Dr. Capen Several prominent institutions have been recognized and other new depart ments have been formed; and several others are experimenting with new types of vocational courses related to local industrial activities.
 Dr. Capen mentions Montana, Kan sas, and Idaho as three more States where the administration of State in- stitutions of higher education has been further centralized through re- cent legislative action"

 A very complimentary notice is giv- en of Judge Jeffry, in part as follows
 "Se educo en las escuelas de su Estade natal y fijo su residencia en la ciudad de Newport, del mismo Es- tado de Arkansas. En 1899 SC licen- cio en derecho y al siguinte ano fue electo miembro de la Legislature de Fiscal del tercer distrito judicial de Arkansas, puesto quo desempeno has ta 1910" Etc, etc. All of which his friends in Arkansas will appreciate.

How Germany Does It

American Machinist.
 How is it possible that Germany and Austria Hungary, the latter in par ticular not being highly industrial na- tion, can produce enough ammunition to withstand these terrific onslaughts :? There is only one answer. Instead of eliminating the incentive of the dollar-making individuals" they have thoroughly organized and utilized ev- cry available facility for producing munitions of war If Friedrich Schneider has little shop capable of producing shrapnel and Hans Schmidt has another in which bayo- nets may be made, you can bank on it that Friedrich and Hans are turn ing out the limit output, and also that the capabilities of their shops were investigated and charted as assets of offense or defense by their Govern ment long before the war. We can not but admire the thoroughneSs and organization that enables the Ger mans to put up such remarkable fight. If we should ever have war you and I will want our country to win. And if we should be defeated, or if the war should be unduly prolonged simply because those in authority ne- glected to properly organize our in- dustrial resources, we would hold them guilty of gross incompetence. If. knowing these facts to be true, we do not preach the doctrine of com mon sense preparedness, we oursel- yes are guilty of gross neglect.

ELECTION LAW CRE-
 ATES COMMOTION
Must Run for Office Three Years
 Before Assumes Duties - Judges are Advised to Make
 Race for Nomination in March

Little Rock, Aug, 1.-The story printed in the columns of the News yesterday about the tangle drought about by the new consolidated cleo tion law has caused ali sorts of com motion among the twenty circuit jud- ges and the twelve chance.lors of the state. They are SC ure in the lclief that they would have no personal in- terest in the 1916 primaries, as their terms of office do rot expire until 1918.
 But the new act has been construed ty the best legal ta',lt of the state, and all must agree tha. it is perfectly plain.
 Statues must be construed by their language and not by the intent of the lawmakers" said one eminent au- thority. "No one believes the Legis- lature intended that man should run for an office three years before he assumes it's duties, but if the act 'AANeSi'S "AiesS ~ soy thSiC NoiI pC IlO question about it. And every judge who wishes to succeed himself had better go after the nomination next March or he will stand good chance to lose. It is preposterous, of course but it is the law, and there is no power outside of the Legislature that can cure the defect"
 If the law is susceptible of this con- struction, and for the sake of personal safety it is not probable that any judge will assume the risk of ignoring it, it will require Associate Justice w. F. Kirby, whose term expires Oct. 31 1918, to run again in March, 1916. His nomination at that time would Insure his tenure on the Supreme Bench until Oct. 31, 1926. Judge Wood, whose term expires Oct. 31, 1916, will have to run again anyway.

ARKANSAS POLITICS

While the Democrats Of the state hov;no a Kilkenny-cat time with
 own nolitics, the Republicans are fasinning s to talk. Deprived of any :, ;neentive in State politics, they asote the greater part of their at
 t;0n to national politics. During
 nomocratic national administration
 :~ incentives in national politics woefully lacking, still they find as,;nation in playing the game-and Soping. .
 hara will be no Progressive Party in
 rkansas hereafter, but that there r;ll he a coalition of the factions un- ~ tbe banner of the G. o. P. Con- ;t;ons have not yet advanced far Inoupb to predict who will be the lho;ce of the Arkansas Republicans or the Presidency. They admit cas- Iollv since it will be anybody to leat Wilson," that it will be no easy kask Arkansas Republicans, as we'll s Democrats, are proud of the fact hat they stand almost at the head f the list in the national convention Ind they try to "pick the winner" And history shows that they are usu- | Sllv successful so far as the nominee s concerned.
 Among those who are being men tioned as favorites among Arkansas Republicans are: Former Vice-Presi- lent Fairbanks of Indiana, Governor Whitman of New York, Senator Sher- han. Senator Borah, and Associate Justice Hughes. And Roosevelt still has following in Arkansas who be- ieve that he could sweep the country i he would accept the nomination. f the Republicans, and desert the Bull Moose, which is already scarcely bore than a political waif.
 But while the Republicans are cast hg political horoscopes, the Demo- rats are sittinc serenely in the boat, confident that there is no one who can efeat Woodrow Wilson. Arkansas Democracy could not be more loyal to (ny one than it is to the President FhOm many acclaim as one of the hree greatest presidents the Unite1 Itates has ever had, the others be- hg Washington and Lincoln. Even he partisans of Champ Clark, whose |efeat they considered a personal mis- ortune, are now as loyal to the New Jersey statesman. That he has met tremendous issues squarely and in diligently, and that his wise course fll keep the United States out of the Forld-war now waging, is the con- |dent belief of all.

Prohibition Fakes and Others.

Springfield Republican.
 Charles Summer Bird cannot be any less surprised than the rest of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by the open letter addressed to him an nouncing Eugene Noble Foss' decis- ion to seek the Republican nomination for Governor. M. Floss wants na- tional prohibition, but Mir. Shaw puts him to shame by wanting state prohi- bition also. As between the two, why isn't Mir. Shaw to be preferred, even by the Republican voters, at the prl- maries, on the ground that he is no prohibition fake?

The greatest monument In the world is the Great Pyramid of Egypt, which was built nearly 5000 years ago. Ac- cording to Herodotus, the ancient Greek historian 100000 men were at work on it for 20 years. It covers an area of 1872 acres and contains r. 900 ,OOO tons of masonry. It was built in layers, over 200 in number, and then the edges were filled in to make the sides smooth. The stones used varied in weight from 2 tons to 60 tons. When it was built it was about 4SO feet high, and the sides were each 775 fet long.

ODD FACTS

In most European countries the tap ping of the beetle known as the death watch is regarded as an omen of ap- preaching death. Naturalists say that the curious habit this insect has of tapping the wall is means of sig naling to it's mate, and that two death watches have been known to come each attracted by the others tapping.

PROPOSES A NEW CALENDAR.
Twenty eight Days In a Month, With
 All Holidays on Monday.

The Rev. H. P. Flames, curate at All Angels Episcopal church, New York city, has proposal to change the cal endar which he says several influen- tial clergymen favor. Novel features of this flames calendar provide that all the holidays shall come on Monday. This, he says, will give the tired man two whole days and half of rest. Again, there will be only twenty eight days in each month, and the remaining days will be put into another month, named Holiday" which will come in between June and July. The extra day still unprovided for-two in leap year will be put at the end of December for more holidays.
 "The fact that each month will be- gin on Sunday and end on Saturday will go far toward regulating our hap hazard method of present day compu- tation," said Mir. flames. Also joy will be felt by the trader and the social set alike that Easter will be uniformly the third Sunday in April instead of fol- lowing the vagaries of the wandering moon from early in March to late in April. Another convenience Is that Christmas will always arrive in the middle of the week
 Mir. flames said his innovation had been based in part on the church cal endar.
 Tt is not new to change the calen- dar." he went on. Tt is not so hard, either. People whose birthdays come after the twenty eighth of the month will have to change them. but the oth- CTS will not be affected. The extra day may come in at the end of the year or not. It will not matter. for no one will have to work Cn it."

Tn. Farmers and the Town

The farmers of the Salt River Valley think they are not getting a square deal. and they offer so many reasons thinking and offer evidence in support of the facts they that the cont pIaint deserves looking into by the merchants oi Phoenix the Merchants and Manufacturers Asso- citation the chamber of commerce and the city commission We think we all understand that but for the farmers Phoenix would not be much of town We acknowledge that the great growth the city has made and the growth We expect It to make has for basis the great valley about us But for these farmers or other farmers. this val ley would worthless for all purposes as II water had never been turned upon it.
 The farmers complain that they are not patron ized properIy by the merchants who deal in farm products; that the merchants, instead Of buying ot them. send abroad for things that can be raised in the valley. that by the time they have paid freight or express they have paid more than they would have paid the farmers, in which case the money would be in circulation in Phoenix and vicinity
 The farmers also complain. and their grievance is admitted that it has become difficult for them to trade Phoenix. The recent experience of one of them is illustrative He had a case of eggs to sell but on of the municipal regulations against horses which had been put into force he could not find a place hitch his horse and buggy within striking distance of downtown store From the nearest point out and effected sale He returned to his vehicle. drove to the store and placed the eggs on sidewalk He then drove back the hitching place; thence he returned to the store the eggs delivered the negotiations were concluded and the empty box was carried to the curbstone. The farmer went back to the hitch ing place. got his and buggy, returned and got started home. whether happy and satisfied or the deponent saieth not.
 experience recalls that old childhood problem of the who had fox. goose and a bag of corn carried river. one at time a simple in comparison with that of many farmers who come to town to sell produce spend their money
 There should he a better understanding. for. If there is not. of it will grow into feel ing of hostility. nd many farmers will do. understand them doing now-go to the smaller trade. though they would prefer for many reasons to come to Phoenix If this town and this valley to become all We es pect them o there be and friendly cooperation between the people who live | n those who live in the country between those who have things to sell and those who have things to buy.

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
o the Editor of The Republican,

To the Editor of The Republican,
 Sir: Why cant the farmers have man in the Water Users office to check the water runs instead of each individ- ual having to check on the water he uses?
 It seems the U. s. R. s cannot keep these correctly as I have found mis- takes each season that l have kept track of the water used and so have many others.
 For the season ending October 1913. received a refund of s17.S5 after wait ing about three months for it.
 For the season ending October 1914 received a refund of $5.75.
 If they make mistakes like this on one. why not on others and those who do not keep account of the water used ray for it and get nothing.
 I also think it unfair charging seven ty-five cents the fourth acre foot of water used as the users of this amount are the intensive farmers or gardener or fruit grower who is doing more to build up the country than the hay and grain farmer
 I planted ten acres of apricots this spring and will use four feet on this ten acres
 As nave put out an orchard that adds to the Value of all the adjoining land. I am fined twenty five cents per acre just because this crop requires more water than the common crops
 It does not cost any more to run this fourth foot and it really looks as though they wanted to discourage our farming our lanu for all it is able to produce
 My other ten acres grew wheat and now has maize and this will also use four feet of water: so I am fined an other s2-5O for trying to raise two crops in one season.
