Japanese to Tour U. S.
Members of Diet Will Study
Living Conditions

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Five mem
bers of the Japanese lower house will
visit the United States in September
to study the conditions of the Japanese
in this country and to make a tour Of
inspection of the country, having in
view the improvement of industrial and
social conditions in Japan.
The commission, appointed by the
Diet, will spend two months here, re-
turning to Japan in time to attend the
opening of the Diet in December. The
commission will have no diplomatic
status.
There is a strong pro-American senti-
ment in the Japanese Diet, japanese
statesmen realizing that no nations
friendship will be more valuable to
Japan than Americas, and the Terauchl
government is inclined to promote
cordial relations between Japan and
the limited States.

K. SCHWARTZ, The 1<.a<, IN Men ootb<,

The death and burial of the
Most Rev. Archbishop James HUI
bert Blenk in New Orleans the
past few days was a momentous
occasion, not only for the Catholic
Church, but for the citizenship of
the city and the State of Louisi-
ana as we'll. Archbishop Blenk
was not only wonderful leader of
his church, but was a sound and
ready adviser of the people among
whom he resided. He was ever
ready to take a stand on all ques-
tions affecting the welfare of the
people whom he dearly loved and
his weight in public affairs was
always on the side of right. His
death is distinct loss. not only to
his church, but the public at
large.

Things are changing out on the

ing" I'm the old days when the
farmers production did not bring
the high prices it does today, and
the farmer was nearly always in
our debt, we storekeepers could
sell him almost anything we wan
ted to, but the farmer now is a ca
pitalist, his annual business
amounting to more than ten bill
lions. We no longer have to car
ry him from year to year. When
he comes into the store to buy it
is a cash deal and we have to sell
him what he wants and not what
we want to give him."

 London, May 22.-The Manchester Guardian considers the Irish oonven- -tion 'the biggest and most serious un- dertaking.to which. ireland has set her hand for generations and one which must be prosecuted with the vtsor and ipsisteesce appropriateness to it's moment.

SUSPICION AND F1Ians.

Had the fire at the Corbin Annex gotten beyond control last night New
 Britain today might be in as sorry . plight as Atlanta, Ga, whose con-
 fagration of yesterday is described as
 "Atlanta's greatest misfortune>s stnce kfhe Civil War" Not since Sherman
 marched from Atlanta to the sea has
 such destruction visited that city.
 Some few nasty persons may, at,
 tribute the terrible fire of Atlanta to
 enemy aliens in this country. Later
 facts, established. will probably show
 that the disaster there was duo to
 negligence among 4ome denizsns of the negro quarter, where tho hre started. Hysteria seems to abounds at this time. It Is easy to condemn. Until a. full investigation has been completed there should be no finger of suspicion pointed to any person. or persons. as possible perpetrators of the Corbin Annex Ire. Truth will out. sooner or later.
 The factories in this city are well Suarded.-that is they are supplied with plenty of men supposed to do guard duty. It is the belief of many. who are familiar with the methods used by some of these private out door watchmen that the work is not completely performed. that there Is . very human tendency to shirk. visi- lance is not what 1t should be. This has been remarked by those who wend their way home In the early hours of morning and who sometimes see little groups of .watchmen standias on street corners. consresatins.
 Fire is . srim monster. Once 1t gets under headway there is no telling whore it will end. as witness the case of Atlanta. A factory fire is perhaps worse than any other. It would seem the pat of wisdom to keep extremely close watch over all factories. not only because of possible injury from enemy aliens, but. be- cause of accidental fires. Nlpped in the bud any incipient blaze may be without much loss. also allay suspicion. There h enough trouble as 1t is. without seeking more. , e e J 2 II

COMMUNICATED
HERrs TO rTiE BARRIERS.
Hoping the High Cost of Haircuttins Never Materianxes.

Never Mategiahzes.
 To the Editor of the Herald:
 Dame Rumor has it that the union barbers are anticipating a change In prices for haircutting. from twenty five cents to thirty-five cents This. I think, would be very unwise move, as 1t is doubtful If great many would stand for it. The barber bus- mess Is not to be compared with other lines of business. Once they have their shops we'll equipped, their running expenses and rent (aside of labor), comparatively spealkine. is not very large. theirA edged tools for shaving and haircntting.t will produce this in good cold caAh. twenty fold. and more. over and above the actual cost Of the tools.
 With the merchants 1t is far differ- ent. Prices with them arc nucGhattnH and %they are obliged to charGee ac-f cordingly in.order to meet many ex- sspenses. Taking everything into con- sideration don't think the barhst1 have any good reasons for any ad- yancesin price. The old time barbers5 did all their haircutting. with shears. Involving a great deal of their time and for which they received only fifteen cents. Clippers have now .tak- en the place of .efeArs to q certain extent, and the work is now accom- plished in. a very few minutes. and you must hand over tO the barber twenty five cents for his labor.
 Should an advance in prices ma terfalize with them, it is not an im- possibility that good non-union shop might locate here and with re- duced prices. Such . shop m1gnt monopolixe the Hons share or tho business. As it is, we have some very good non-union barbers. That our union barbers arc up-to-date -goes
