The average man pays willingly for insur-
ance against losses of many kinds. Is it not
worth paying something for insurance in the
shape OF all enhanced price if by so doing one

users OF dyestuffs for example, are now suffer

source OF supply is such an insurance against
such loss What is that insurance WORTH
If We arc 70 be told that il is worth nothing
and that nothing in the way of an enhanced
price can De considered on that account. does
not this same argument apply to any form Of
insurance, and might not one as saney say we
expect no losses by fire. by food, by accident,
and expecting none, will pay nothing for in

economically sound; but the fact that lower
price is quoted in any market does not of itself
make that the cheapest market in which alone
to buy.
If the consumers of dyestuffs in this coun-
try had used the gift of foresight, it would
have paid them well long months ago TO have
done something toward the establishment OF
an American dyestuff industry, merely as a
safeguard against the loss OF which they now
complain. With every appreciation OF their
distress and sympathy with their suiferings it
remains true that wider vision and keene-
regard for dollars instead OF such close devo-
ton to cents would have saved some Of the
embarrassment now existing.

as fighting fund by means of which to de-
stroy any nascent American industry. 1t also
seems possible to do this without disturbing
the flow of normal competition or sub ecring
our people to greatly enhanced prices arising
from high duties.
Finally, it is important to recall that there
is such thing as good will IN intern atonal
trade as well as III domestic trade, and that on

On the domestic side it would seem possible
that legislation supplemental to the Clayton
Antitrust Act of l9l5 might render dlifcult or
impossible in international trade commercial
transactions such as we have in mind, which
involve unfair restriction Of domestic trade
through foreign transactions. For example
might be enacted substantially as follows:
"(a) 1t shall be unlawful for any person,
engaged in interstate or foreign commerce or
industry, to sell or purchase articles OF tor

This was the beginning of a new musical era
for Japan 1t was the first operate perform
ance TO take place there. Since then the I'm
peria Theatre has established permanent or
chestra of fifty musicians. Music in my coun-
try has developed very, very slowly, but it has
been preserved, would you say, and II has sur
vved through hundreds of years Of wars and
conflicts The comparatively recent introduc-
ton of European music as I have described
has wonderfully influenced our musical pro-
fession and our scientific investigation into
the imported art has been most thorough. We
cannot tell, of course, in what direction or
to what extent our music may be developed
through the influence Of this new and import
ant element but believe that our japanese
musicians will surely adapt in the future as
they have in the past all the best parts and so
make our national music greater and more et-
fective."

against manhood suffrage written by Robert W. feo"eS'

initiates against the principle of property is IN direct OPPOSE

show that, contrary to opinion, we have al
ways been a musical nation. There has al
ways been something in my nature" she went
on earnestly, that responded to the influence
of European music. Japanese music is more
complicated in some respects, as so much of it
is written in the minor key, but from the time
! was six years of age, when began my must
cal education, found European music easy to
learn and very easy to remember. In 1898
musical society was organized by the graduates
OF the Toxic Music School and the students
of the section of music Of the Bureau Of Rites
and Ceremonies. This society devotes itself
to the work of introducing European orches-
trail music to the public. Several years ago
when Gluck's opera Orpheus and Eurydice was
presented to the public by the students of the
Toxic Academy, sang the role of Eurydice

Id as.

a Iapanese-American theatre in the United
States. Nine Mura said, There are at pres
ent several hundred No-type OF plays being
acted in Japan. There are usually but two or
three characters and but two scenes. These
are always so tragic and solemn that 70 re-
lieve the feelings Of the audience, here her
eyes twinkled we play one-act comedy or
farce between the scenes OF the No. There
are very few original plays produced in Japan.
Serial stories and novels are made into plays
or European novels and plays are adapted, but
we have little that is original. 1t is my very
great desire TO found theatre where the
beautiful legends and folk lore OF my people
may be revived, and where the original and
progressive ideas of your country may be
fused with the older traditions of an ancient
race America is the only Western nation
which has been able TO extend freedom TO all
religions. The others are all bound by the
established religions Of their governments. so
what better place, what freer country, could
| chose in which to establish such theatre,
where women as well as men have every

progress is the watchword"
ORIENTAL WOMEN NOT READY TO.
VOTE.
Madam Miura, while not pronounced anti
suffra gist, thinks that the women OF her coun-
try are not ready for the vote.
perhaps your women are better prepared
do not KNOW have not been with you long
enough Surely the women here do not need
it SO much. They seem to have every right,
every privilege, although | may be wrong. In
my country a woman may not even walk in
front of her husband on the street-all is so
different here. In Japan women students do
not enter the schools on the same footing with
men except in the Fine Arts classes. Not that
they are less intelligent, but we have been
very slow to realize that our women should
have an equal chance with men. We are dress
ing more and more like the Europeans; that is
in darker clothing; we do not appear on the
streets these days in fancy costume. / sell
dom wear decorative clothing unless in the
theatre or at formal social affair.
Il think your American ideas on marriage
and divorce are right. In my country 1t
woman's husband deserts her, she has no alter
native but to kill herself. She has no stand
ing in society after he leaves her This is
dreadful and unjust. as | have fully realized

in London, where my husband has just COM
pleted his medical studies at the university.

A few weeks ago, when the B. &
o. railroad was seeking to have an
ordinance passed by the city council
granting them the right to build a
new freight yard on the south side,
statements were given out by the
Union Terminal Co. that the passage
of this ordinance was the only thing
which delayed the terminal and that
10000 men would be placed at work
Immediately after its passage.
The ordinance was passed amid
much reclamation and yesterday two
gangs, of 100 men each, started to
work, one Wrecking an old building,
the other digging the foundations Of
some new freighthouses.
In an interview given out yesterday
by one Of the officials of the New
Union Station Co., it was said that
1000 men may be employed by the
middle of next summer and that the
payroll would be steadily increased
until 10000 men would have jobs.

Washington, Dec. 12.-There is a
practically harmonious organization
of both houses the first week of the
Sixty-fourth congress, which Is des-
tined to be historic. Administration
leaders are determined to attempt no
serious business until after the holt
day recess. Wilson's address was the
most important event of the week
and furnished the congressman food
for thought. Indications are the de-
Tense program and revenue require
ments will precipitate long strenu-
Gus debate.
The difficulty of reorganizing the
house committees because of the
greatly increased minority prevented
congress getting down to actual bust
ness. Minority assignments are not
expected until Tuesday. Adjournment
is planned Saturday until January
third.
