Apart from these picture palaces, Toxic boasts
many music halls, where story telers, jugglers,
scrobats, top spinners singers and dancing girls
appear. The price Of admission is 20 or 30 sen
"a sen is equal to the English farthing), another
being charged when you enter the hall for a
cushion and small charcoal frebox There are
seats or boxes, the floor of the hall being COW
cred with mating, the patrons taking their seats

Another interesting sidelight on the lifA OF our
Japanese allies is provided by 7. Fujimoto's de-
scription Of refreshment houses and restaurants,
where Japanese sake (wne), beer, whiskey and all
kinds Of liquors served very cheap Intem-
perance, however, is viewed with great dislike by
the Japanese, judging By the rule which exists at
one well known cabaret in Toxic, known as the
Kamiya Bar. The drink most popular at this bar
Is what Is known as Electric Brandy "a kinc Of
eggnog and whiskey), but tho walls are dis

r. HERE not few people who are under
the impression that in spite of Japan's
extraordinary progress and development
of late years her absorption Of Western ideas is
but slowly being brought about. 1t Is true that
many medieval manners and customs still exist
in the Land of the Chrysanthenum, but the prin-
cipal towns of Japan says "Tit-Bits," are as up
to date in their ideas London.
Take the cinema halls Of Toxic, for instance.
In their methods of enticing patrons they can
teach picture palace propretors In this country
something. The fronts of the cinema halls in
Toxic are similar to those here. decorated with
huge posters illustrating the kinds of pictures
being shown At the entrance to each hall are
three or four men, each crying aloud to passers-
by, Come in! Come in Our pictures are the
incest ones Most wonderful pictures, lately i'm
ported from Europe"
Tickets" says T. Fujmoto, In "The Night Side
Of Japan" Werner Laurie), "are sold by girls in
a booking-box near the entrance Of each hall;
they are dressed in beautiful uniforms, their faces
painted nicely, receiving guests with charming
smiles"
Most of the japanese, and especially the women
wear clogs instead of boots ana shoes, and at the
entrance to the hall the men relieve you Of these

New-York tribune., 1915-03-28

The General Board has had to fight so hard
to obtain batteships that our naval develop
ment has been restricted practically to a sim
gle type. We have no battle cruisers-the
class of big ships which has won the greatest
distinction in the European war The British
dreadnought Queen Elizabeth, which is batter
ing the Dardaneles forts, carries l5-nch guns
and has a speed of Is knots. Our biggest
drcadnought, the Pennsylvania, carries l4-nch
guns and has a speed of Fl knots With an
advantage in speed and in range the dread

Of the Lion class select the conditions
under which she will fight, and is therefore a
most powerful addition to a navys offensive
strength. Our slow battleships could be at
tackled by hostile battle cruisers without being
able to make any effective reply We have
stuck to the one fundamental fighting type, and
have not supplemented it sufficiently with other
types and with new inventions like submarines
and air machines. We have not even provided
against the superannuaton of battleships au-
thorized twenty years or more ago.
Mr.. Ne ser draws this sweeping indictment
against our naval policy for the last twelve
years: IF the recommendations Of the General
Board of the Navy since 1908 had been fol-
lowed, the United States would now possess
naval force equal to that of any nation except
England. The expense of construction and
maintenance would have been spread over
number of years and would hardly have been
felt But now we are suffering from the accu-
mutation of error. We find ourselves hope
lessly short of battleships, battle cruisers, ar
mored cruisers, cruisers, destroyers, subma-
rines and suxliaries of all kinds In the Carb-

that our Httlest and youngest grand
child, the Federal Commission on In
dustrial Relation, seems to be at the
point of finding the lost things. In
Texas, where there is land enough to
give each of the people Of the earth a
small farm, the people who don't own
land are being reduced to the status
of wage laborers, which means to beg
for a chance to earn a bare living and
to depend on charity when OppOrtu-
nifty fails.
Our youngest grandchild has dis
covered the speCtacles and they are
branded CONCENTRATED LAND
OWNERSHIP, but the little one has
not discovered the way to put the
spectacles back where they belong,
over grandma's eyes. She talks
about ladders in the shape of land
commissions, economic courts and
labor exchanges.
If she could be induced to go back
some years and read what Henry
George said about concentrated land
ownership grandma would get the
spectacles much sooner.
Unrestricted land ownership brings
land concentration, wage slavery,
land speculation, low wages, poverty,
crime and financial panics.
The remedy for all these ills is to
abolish all taxes except a tax upon
land values, and to increase this one
tax until it takes substantially all the
annual value of all privately-Owned
land, or, in other words, all land Of
every kind except land owned by the
nation, and to use this fund for all
public purposes which are necessary
for the benefit and welfare Of all the
people.
When this is done we will find all
the things that we have lost, includ-
ing equal freedom, equal opportunity,

GRANDMA'S SPECS. - Most of
your readers will memember about
grandma. For those who do not it is
necessary to say that grandma lost
her spectacles. In those days people
did not wear glasses. Glasses were
used for drinking purposes.
Well! for a long time the whole
house was in a cOmmotion over
grandma's loss. Everybody hunted
and found not. Then the IittIest and
youngest grandchild pointed out that
the lost spectacles were securely
perChed upon grandma's gray but
abundant hair. And peace settled
down upon the house.
Now, in some respects we are all
grandmas. Also the people of other
nations. We have lost a lot of
things. We have lost a large part of
the liberty we had before so many of
our individual functions were taken
away by the corporate way Of doing
business and doing the people at the
same time. We have lost a large part
of the initiative that all of us had
when the nation was young. If we
fail to couple up with some big bust
ness monster we have a hard time
to make even a decent living.
We are all of us, except the mo-
nopOIists and their allies, looking for
our lost things, including the lost lib
erty and the vanished iniatiVe. We
have looked everywhere except
where they are to be found. When
they are found the high cost of iV-
ing will be found in their company.
