Laf- ferty, who lost the Republican nomi- nation to McArthur two years ago and became an independent, again was de- feated in the primaries last spring and 8 again an independent.

 Not so very long ago Tokio was filled with fleet rikisha runners. Wealthy families boasted of their kur- una men. But these fast runners. tall and strong, are now scarcely met with.

With the reduction of the number. the price of the public rikisha has steadily increased until it has almost become a luxury for the masses of the people. The two passenger kuruma which used to fig ure in elopements and double suicides has entirely disappeared,
