Pleasant lake, on the Hill country es-

The simple ceremonies at the grave
simple because Mr.. Hill in life had
made request that his burial be an
unostentatious one-were in marked
contrast to the extraordinary demon
stration all st. Paul and consider
able portion of the nation extended in
tribute.
Traffic Stops Five Minutes.
Every wheel of three transcontin1
entail railroads stood still from two
o'clock until five minutes past the
hour. st. Paul suspended business for

own keenly felt little tribute.
But fraction Of the throng gained
admittance to the house. Another
fraction felt fortunate to gain a place
inside the yard. Outside the great
spiked fence, thousands stood and
pressed their faces against the iron
bars for glimpse Of the casket which

The Minneapolis Journal says in re-
lation to an address by A. J. Davis,
candidate for the democratic nomina-
ton for senator Tuesday evening:
Mr.. Davis, who was Woodrow Will
son leader in 1912, headed the commit
tee which prepared the Wilson petit
ton for Minnesota this year, and per-
sonally filed it. He has been active
in the anti-Lynch campaign.
"Our democracy of 1922 said Mr..
Davis in his address, "was living
force. Now it has become a lifeless
organization. When political party
ceases to represent principles, it has no
claim on the people for support. I feel
under certain moral obligation 0
the democratic party and patriotic
duty to my country to give those who
expressed themselves as opposed to
certain reactionary tendencies in Min
nesota an opportunity to express dis
sent and to register their protest at
the polls.''

This is my advice: If you have
not your mind made up to buy any
thing, do not, under any circum-
stances, let anything be put in your
house on approval If you do, it's
good night, nurse. Just tell them to
chase themselves or run up stick.

Expensive monuments may, per-

The water in all superficial springs
near burial grounds is simply fl

health.
All persons of both sexes having
arrived at years of discretion, must
face the problem sooner or later of
disposal of their earthly remains,
either by cremation or burial The
claims of each method should be
closely examined and an intelligent
opinion formed as to which seems
most expedient, having due regard
to the noXious influence of burials
upon the public health.

we saw during the morning were pic

cigarets. We tried to smoke some of
the latter, but the japanese matches are
for ornamental purposes only.
When the automobile passed little chill
dren-the only sign of future soldiers
they waved their hands and shouted
"Banzai." We were told that when the
motor cars first put in an appearance
the children threw stones at them. One
day the emperor gave decree to school
principals, asking children to wave their
hands and shout a greeting of welcome
to passing tourists in motor cars. This
was read in all schools in Japan. The
emperor's merest wish is law. Over
night the hostility disappeared and now

WESTERN IDEAS ARE
LACKING IN JAPAN
CLARENCE AMMAN, EDITOR OF
EASTERN UNDERWATER

New York, December 20.-At the end
of a seventeen day voyage from here we
arrived off Yokahoma. There weren't
any battleships in sight; nothing but
million little boats called sampans, look
ing exactly as though they had sailed
out of old prints we saw in school. At
long intervals a motor boat passed,
clumsy affair seeming to have a lot Of
engine trouble.
At the customs house, ready to take
us to the hotel, were five hundred rick
shaws and two automobiles, the latter OF
the type around which center all the
Jokes. The trip to the hotel was an eye
opener. We looked around for horses
but didn't see any as all vehicles are
drawn bys men, occasionally relieved py
a sleepy team of oxen.
On several corners were men in smart
looking uniforms, carrying swords. All,
our first glimpse of the army we thought
but they were policemen. AS we rode
through the streets we strained our eyes
looking for the western ideas the Japa-
nese have been appropriating so indust-
riously, but they were not in sight. Lit
tie boys were playing ball in their wood
en- clogs; women with unfastened kimon-
as walked through the streets Indifferent
to the gaze of western eyes; men car
ried the skirts of their kimonas up to
their waists 80 the edges would not be
muddled by the streets. Tiny shops We're
everywhere.
Ali through the day we looked for
western ideas, but we saw only two;
member of the court dressed in silk hat
of 1898 vintage and shabby Prince AL
bert coat that came to his knees. That
night we read in a YOkahOma paper
that the government desired to show the
Japanese an areoplane and that one was
being carried throughout Japan for ex-
hibition in various cities. 1t would be
in Yokahoma the following day.
We decided instead of viewing the lone
aeroplane to take trip to Kamikura,
the fashionable watering resort, and see
as much of rural Japan on the way as
we could in six hours. We started at
next morning. and two minutes after
we had passed the city limits of Yoka-
homa we were in the middle ages. Every
man and woman was working in the rice
fields or on a farm with implements
