That Japan still regards China In
somewhat the same light as q croco-
die might regard a plump H%ottentot
baby is apparent from the cartoons
in the Japanese v%ernacular press. A
number of these, reproduced in Car
toons Magazine, deal with Yuan and
his difficulties in establishing q mon
archy. One cartoonist represents
Yuan and the revolutionists respect
lively as kites. The reyolutionist par
ty, as a. fighting kite, is about to at
tack the helpless Yuan kite, whose
fate, we are reminded, depends en-
tirely on the winds" Another
toonist has Yuan hanged by, his own
throne, the throne being represented
by a chair held upside down by Japan
while the Chinese emperor, his neck
caught in the open back of this piece
of furniture. is slowly expiring from
strangulation. Other cartoons show
Yuan trying to keep peace among his
own people-an accomplishment that,
to accept the Japanese view, would
appear rather difficult. One OF the
Osaka Puck artists has Count Oku-
and Yuan playing a game of chess,
and suggests that neither Europeans
nor Americans understand this sort
of game

10 Investigate South
Dakota Cent. Wreck

rfG Fsl1'

The South Dakota railroad commits
sion has fixed March % as the date
and the court. house in WATERFOWL 10
the place for investigating the South
Dakota Central wreck near Thomas,
in which two lives Were@lost and
many passengers and emplcyeesn
jured.
Some comment has been heard with
reference to the failure Of the COM
mission to declare the investigation
open to the public-that is, tkeHHse-
tice specifically admonishes the re-
Iceiver. H. S. Stebbins, to be present
with all documents and other mat
tiers bearing upon the catastrophe,
also to have present the surviving
employees of the railroad who were
present at the time of the wreck. like
wise the section foreman in charge
OF that portion ef@the track which!
includes the bridge site. but fails to
mention the public or others who may
have, or assume to have, knowledge
of any of the facts,
1t may be stated in this connec-s
ton that it is understood that the
public is excluded under the statute,
as The investigation is confined to
those having knowledge of Ii actual
facts, The statute Is similar to that
governing hearing under the inter
state commerce act, which makes
hearings private.
The object of this provision is to-
prevent the use OF evidence given
before the board in any action for
damages against the railroad, the
theory being that ii the company
is to be compelled to furnish the tes-
timony in It's possession relative to.
the wreck, 1t would not furnish this
information to q governing board, as
persons Intending to bring suit
against the railroad company could
secure their desired evidence by at
tending the hearings or by securing
aSc0py of the testimony.

lar as it is possible to do SO without

paving was first done in this country
an effort was made In many of the

Irience demonstrated the Impractical
bility of the undertaking, the expense
during a winter like the n through
