THE LATEST IN MISSIONS.

America, which has given so gen. erously to Japanese missions, will be startled to learn that in return for our efforts to Christianize Japan Japan is preparing to Shintolze us. Miss Tosaiko Sakumaki of TOXIC IS coming over here to preach gospel new to us, but ages old to the land of chrysanthemums.
 Shintoism includes, among other nractices. ancestor worship. In m old land like Japan it therefore has strong appeal. But here our remoF- est ancestors are very close to us; our mental attitude toward dad ana grandad is affectionate, but lrreVet- ent. It will take a good bit or ellort on Miss Toshiko's part to induce us to worship "the family meal ticket.

but under such restrictions that the strength of the common people is nullified in reichstag representation.
 This, added to the fact that the strength of the common people is also divided among three or four par ties, which singly amount to little in the reichstag, the difficulty of the Germans voice being heard in the national councils is obvious. Only by combining three or more parties $ majority possible in the reichstag.
 The "Junker" or aristocracy in the reichstag has had full sway for years, and has been largely responsible for the aggressive national policy. The German people themselves have not been looking for trouble-it has been the "junkers" who made it for them
 Their power is due to wane after the present war.

REASONS AGAINST BOARDING.

REASONS AGAINST HOARDING. Here are four reasons offered by the Kansas City Star for not buyinc
 food in unusual quantities to hoard l it:
 1. You are helping put up the
 price on yourself by creating an arti- ficial scarcity. Wheat and flour
 have both been put up out of reason
 in the last few days by the needless 1 rush to buy barrels of flour. ?. You are putting Up the price for 1 people of scanty income to whom
 every addition to the cost of provi-
 sions is hardship.
 8. You are going to waste consid-
 erable quantities of food because yo'; have not the facilities for keeping it | in good condition. YoA will find po-
 tatoes rotting and weevils in the flour.
 4. By acquiring an unusual store of canned goods and similar articles
 you are likely to use the food more l wastefully. That is human nature
 The man who keeps a box of cigars
 ill his house is going to smoke mors than the man who buys his cigars
 from day to day. The same thing
 holds true in the case of quantities of easily prepared food.

BRINGING LIBERTY TO THE
 WORLD

Congressman Sam M. Taylor t,f Pine Bluff is one of the wise men ill congress. At this particular time hc is displaying his wisdom by lending support to the great leader and democratic statesman, Woodrow Will son.
 The man who loves his country, who loves liberty, who would promote the welfare of the people everywhere cannot do better than stand by" the president.
 It becomes more apparent as time passes that Woodrow Wilson is be- ter equipped to decide grave ques- tions for this nation than any other man in America; better than any body of men, because he is not only gifted with the keen brain and the possessor of love for mankind, but he is also in possession of the most information on matters now shaping the worlds future.
 Further evidence of President Viii sons desire to bring liberty to the world," as Congressman Taylor phrased it in a dispatch to Dr. J. l. Norris Friday, is furnished by his suggestion to Arthur J. Balfour, heading the British commission, that America is anxious to see home rule granted Ireland; that this is essential in order to cement Americans in their sympathy for the entente allies.
 When we consider such actions of the president, and gain something of an insight into the policy he is pur- suing-a policy intended to improve the conditions of all peoples-when we ponder his far-seeing plans, we are prone to be just bit resentfll of the well-meaning but mistaken at tempts of smaller minds to commit the United States to a policy rejected by the president

REFORMS IN GERMANY.

One of the sure signs of allied vic tory in a moral sense is the news from Germany that the military au- tocracy is to yield suffrage reforms to the German people after the war.
 As is we'll known, tic ballots in Germany depend upon wealth. The rich man has more votes than the poor man, and often a community If rich men can control an entire dis trict of ordinary folk.
 From time immemorial there has been grumbling in Germany regard ing the selection of members of the reichstag. This is done by voting, like in other enlightened countries.

Brig. g.-Gen. Clarence R. Edwards, who is about to take command of the new Northeastern Department, with head quarters at Boston, has for some time been in charge of the Canal zone, Panama. Prior to going to Panama he was in Hawaii, and went there from the Texan border. ln the war with Spain he served as lieutenant colonel of volunteers. Subsequently, in the Philippines, he was under fire 112 times and recommended four times for conspicuous gallantry. General Ed wards was born in Cleveland, O., in 1860, and graduated from West Point at the age of 23. His entire record of military service has been creditable, but especially so in the administra- tive capacities shown by him as ere ator and administrator of the bureau of insular affairs, which he carried on under President Mckinley, Roosevelt and Taft.
