Emperor Never MIA med.
"A tyrannicai statesman was always
accused of abusing the trust and con
idence Of the Emperor. In the mind Of
the Japanese people there always lies
d".piy rooted the firm conviction that
the Emperor IL the father OF the nation
and that the unbcarable tyranny which
they occasionally suffered was to be in
'erprctod as "a blunder on toe part Of
the statesmen who ~diSregarded the au-
gust will OF the Emperor himself. Such
being the case. therefore. in spite OF the
fact that many powerful families were
one after another destroyed or expelled
from office, the seat Of sovereignty and
the dignity of the Emperor remained
Unpue-'ioned.
"Ite that AZ it may. nothing was more

class manage the actual affairs Of the

Ten families own a very large
part of Chicago real estate. Five
families control-and are sup
ported by-enormous land hold
ings. One estate owns 4 per
cent. of all Chicago land.
Each year sees additions to
the holdings of these estates.
During 1915 more than $1,000,
600 worth Of land, the best land
for commercial purposes, was ad-
ded to them. Between these 10
families most good property is
monopolized.

When Winter Begins.

There are still living and NOV
ing about without help and dong
their work IN the world with a
reasonable degree of efic iency,
persons who learn In childhood
that the three winter months
we're December, January and
February, the three spring
months, March, April and May,
the three summer months, June,
July and August, and the three
autumn months, Septemb her, Oc-
tober and Move Der.
But within recent years and
with a great affec tatlon Of scien
tfic accuracy, it is becoming
customary to date the season
from the solstlces and equlnoxes,
We are told with great assurance
of precision that winter begins on
December 81 or %, and the next
change Of season on the same
day In March and so on with
June and September.
There are no justification for
this. The seasons are not astro-
nomlcal events and they do not
necessarily date from astronom-
ical events. They are quarters
of the year characterized by the
growing maturity, decadence and
decease OF vegetation. The old
classification of months was es-
sentially sound, and winter may
be SAID properly tn come in with
the first of December rather than
with the 21st, because by the end
OF November about everything in
the vegetable world that can fall
has fallen, and the growing cold
aud the approach to the shortest
day and the longest night are evi.
dence that the season OF winter
has begun. The signs of spring
are usually abundant before on
March q, even though bhzzards
and other weather freaks occur
IN that month. The month OF
roses Is certainly a summer
month by all the tests of ordinary
human experienceln distinction
from results figured out by an
astronomer with tables OF ascen-
slons and decllnatlons and loga-
rithms.
Who will pretend that this
month was the season of autumn
until the shortest day was reach
ed! 1t was unquestlonably win
ter, from very nearly the first OF
the month, and Septem Der is
properly classed as a fall month
1t Is too inconvenient to make
the lines that separate the sea-
sons divided the months, and the
old fashioned classification Of the
12 months into four seasons was
not only more convenient, but
more accurate, and In closer ac-
cord with the vitality of the vege-
table world aud the sensations of
human beings than this new fan.

WOULD LIKE TO SEE
WHIPPING POST AGAIN

"Oh, for whipping post" sighed
Circuit Judge Morrow yesterday.
With a whipping post law in effect
l could mighty soon stamp out 80 per
cent of these petty forgers and wife
heaters. Son. who needs a little
money and signs papa's name to a
check. would discontinue such prac-
tees If he thought they would lead
him to a whipping post. Same with
lots of other small criminals All they
fear is pain"
Judge Morrow was speaking apro.
pos of nothing in particular, he is,
and always has been, a strong ad.
vocate of the whipping post. When
such law was in effect, the result
was statutory, he said. There is need
for it today, the jurist believes.
