The thing about the Boy Scout move

Is the fact that it works. People had

THE YOUNG MAN IN POLITICS.

One Of the newer men prominent
in political life this year, is Keith Ne
Vile, 33 years old, said to be the
youngest governor Nebraska ever had.
1t is not often that a man of 33 gets
to be either governor or a Congress.
man.
Very frequently you hear it said
that certain candidate is young
mans candidate. The younger set in
cities and towns frequently take the
bits in their own teeth and get out
to land some favorite.
Youth is a great winner in business
and science nowadays. But politics
is kind Of elderly mans game, in
which ripened knowledge Of human
nature does count a lot.
Insofar as political success depends
on winning enthusiasm the young man
has great field. His. warmth Of
sentiment, his expansive friendliness
win loyal support. His associates will
get out and work hard with no ex-
pectation of personal reward. They
land great many young fellows in
the early stages of a political career
before their minds are mature
enough to grasp the political issues
at stake.
, But IL takes d long Hea- TO stay III
the game. The politician needs a
keen intuition as to how ideas are 60
ing to strike the common people.
Every day he is compelled to confront
some new proposition. His instinct is
to doge and stay on the fence as long
as he can. But when the roll call
comes, he has got to line up one way
or the other. Frequently he gets on
the wrong side.
Success in politics depends. equally
on the art Of handling men. 1t is a
great gift to be able to reconcile hos
tility and appeal to opposite types of
people. Only by long experience or
an exceptionally keen intuition can
man reconcile all the conflicting anita
gonisms that block the path of an
aspirant to governership or con-
gress. A governor of 33 years of age
is an interesting figure He may have
a big future ahead Of him and again
some single mistake may end all in
day.

In Japan
Followed Peace Move

Toxic, Jan. 18.-The peace move of
the Central Powers was followed in
Japan by a sudden and general bust
ness depression, which showed to
what extent the industrial boom in
this country is the result, of the war.
Enterprises devoted to furnishing sup
plies to the Entente Allies and ship
ping shares were so effected that the
whole market dropped and the di-
rectors closed the exchange for sew
eral days. Buyers on a margin were
forced to abandon the market alto
gether and there was considerable un-
loading regardless of values. 1t is
felt that many stocks under the war
influence had reached stage of in
flation and investors believe that after
the atmosphere is cleared prices will
return to a normal stage.
J Addressing the metropolitan bank
ers, Premier Count Terauchi, refer
ring to the German peace proposal,
and to the temporary panic caused IN
economic circles, expressed the opin-
ion that the present time is by no
means opportune for the Entente
Powers to conclude peace and that
they would not lay aside arms and
STOP nOSlluCloS UuCll tucy IdVC oIIoiii0
ed their object. He continued: The
situation has favored the commerce
and industry of he Empire. This will
last until the termination Of the war,
but in order to secure a permanent
guarantee Of commercial and indus
trial prosperity, efforts must be made
to consider measures for post-bellum
arrangements. Efforts must be made
to enhance the credit Of domestic
manufactures and to develop per-
manent market in foreign lands"
The Japanese press was practically
unanimous in the opinion that the
peace proposition of the General Pow
ers was not sincere and expressed the
belief that it had been forced on Ger
many by internal conditions. Speaking
of Japanese terms at a possible peace
conference, the newspapers declared
that Japan would nevertagree to the
return Of Kiao-Chow to Germany and
to the restoration Of German a naval
base on the coast Of China.

London Can't Get
Grave Diggers In
Sufficient Numbers

London. Jan. ia new public
danger threatens the country in the
difficulties Of burying, the dead. It is
caused by the scarcity of undertakers,
offin-makers and grave-diggers and
has resulted in delaying funerals for
days, a condition winch il aggravated
by an epidemic would become very
serious. To forestan that danger and
also to remedy the present situation
compulsory cremation is being advo-
Gated.
The tribunals which sit in all parts
of the country and hear appeals for
exemption from military service, have
passed into military service every man
whose work is not indispensable to the
existence of the nation. The result
Is that they have "combed OUT the
undertaking trade and taken most of
the skilled grave-diggers for another
sort Of digging.
It seems also that the shortage of
collins is countrywide. The head Of
the largest undertaking firm in Lon
don which used to turn out between
500 and 700 collins a week says to add
to the difficulties the railroad author
tiles have made new regulation that
nothing over 112 pounds is to be sent
by passenger train. This means that
collins with a few exceptions will have
to be shipped on freight trains.
Bodies he said, "are waiting at
every London station for hours for
lack of labor to fetch them away
The Daily Mail has taken the lead
in the campaign for cremation. It al
so sees a danger in too many ceme-
teries. "This reform of funeral pro-
cedure is long overdue says the
paper. cit will have to extend at once
to compulsory cremation, and even
tually to the wider and even more
important consideration of the ever
growing encroac11ment Of cemeteries
upon land needed for building or agri-
culture"
