No One Opposes

MI. OZakl, former Minister of JUS
tice under the Okuma regime in
1914, one Of the leaders Of the op-
position party, the Kensei and who
has just arrived at San Francisco
on a trip of investigation into the
labor conditions and on the influence
OF labor in politics, declared at an
informal meeting in February of
this year:
There Is no one who Is opposed to
the principle of the revision Of the
election laws of the country. 1t is
simply the question of the degree of
such changes. Only last year the pre-
valling sentiment of the country was
to lower the property qualification.
changing the direct tax requirement
from the present 10 yen to or yen
year. But this year the reduction
seriously mentioned is to 2 or 8 yen,
which speaks eloquently Of the demo-
cratic tendencies of the time. This is
nothing less than confession on the
ruled by the majority of its people it
cannot enter into the family Of civilized
nations. In other words, the question
whether nation can join the league
OF nations or not depends on whether
1t Is a majority ruled country or no. As
the result OF the revision Of the cleo
ton laws now pending we shall have
something like 100000 voters at the
most This is not enough. 1t is time
Tor our country to take heroic step
Tor the extension Of suffrage"
1t is said that Mr.. Ozaki is irving
to organize the first labor party in
the history Of Japanese politics.
Another leader Of the Kensei-kai
venerable figure in the House of
Representatives, Mr.. Shimada sa.

Doubling Votes
i'm Japan

in their discussion and demand for
universal suffrage in Japan. The
"Tokyo Jill" one Of the leading
newspapers of the empire, in it's long
leading editorial Of March /, 1919,
said, in part:
THE question Of universal suffrage
up to this time has been looked upon
as an empty academic problem for
scholars. To-day it is being discussed
in terms Of actual demonstrations by
the people. 1t grows in intensity and
activity from. day to day. The weak
ness OF our people is that they are
ever ready to get into fever over an
issue, and then as equally quick to
cool down. Therefore, it is not easy
to say just how long this movement
may persist. But universal suffrage is
natural consequence of a constitu-
tional government. Our country will
perforce be compelled to adopt 1t at
one time or another. Whether
long or not, it is apparent that move
ment of this sort is bound to crop up
from time to time until it will have
attained its final goal. We cannot dis
pute this conclusion in the light of the
history Of the more advanced nations.
1t Is a movement which cannot be
stopped, even if one wished to stop it.
Moreover, it is exceedingly dangerous
to try to stop by wilful means and by
interference Those In
office should by all means adopt the
policy Of non-interference, as long as
the movement does not threaten the
peace or order of the community, and
let the people say what they wish to
say, and do what they wish to do"

Right and Wrong

MIR. Iravers Humphreys-Have YOU
considered the question whether. when
colonel rutherford committed this act,
ne was capable of approaching the diff
ference between right and wrong?
"Witness--I am of the definite opin
ion that at the time Of the commission
OF this act he did not know the differ
ence between right and wrong, and that
at that time, and right up till now. he
honestly believed he was doing right.
I'm determination by Sir Gordon
Hewart witness agreed that at the time
OF the act and up to the present time
Colonel Rutherford was insane.
Sir Gordon Hewart asked witness
II he had come to the conclusion that
Colonel Rutherford deliberately pre-
pared for the commission of the crime.
to which witness replied that he had
come to the opposite conclusion. Coun-
sci suggested that on certain of the
evidence Colonel Rutherford must have
appreciated the fact that he was shoot
ing Major Seton, to which witness re-
piled: 1 believe he knew he was shoot
ing Major Seton
"Replying to further questions. the
doctor said he believed when prisoner
went to find Major Seton he was so de-
pressed, so worried and in state of
such complete melancholy that he felt
life was not worth living. There was
possibility he meant to end his own
life
"Counsel-Are you representing then,
doctor, that your view of the evidence
is that the object of the prisoners
visit to IS Clarendon Road was sui
eide mot the object of visiting there.
but the object of taking the revolver
there.
CDR. Francis Henry Edwards, for
twenty-six years medical superintend--
ent Of Camberwell House Asylum. gave
details of an interview with the pris-
oner, which followed similar lines to
that related by DR.. Hyslop. Witness
said he did not ask Colonel Rutherford
of what use the pistol was likely to be.
i personally had no doubt as to why
1t was carried said witness. 1T was
to kill Major Seton or to kill himself
Replying to the Judge, witness said
he had formed the opinion that Colonel
Rutherford knew he was committing
murder, but not that he was doing
wrong
Conclusion
"The judge, in summing up, said no
legal justification or excuse for tho
killing had been or could be put for
ward. He quoted as an extreme form
OF insanity the case Of the Greek hero
VINO, driven mad by the gods, DESTROYED
a flock of sheep under the impression
that he was killing his enemies. Tha.
was an instance, he said, where q man
was so insane that he did not know
what he was doing. But there was an.
other form of insanity, which, while 1t
left man with knowledge of what he
was doing, left him without the knowl-
edge that what he did was an offence
1T is of great Importance that iurics
IN these grave cases., continued his
'ordship, should not lightly accent a
suggestion Of insanity. but should sec
that it Is fully proved to their complete

THE government bill for the re-

TIME government bill for the re
vision Of suffrage laws Of thu
japanese Empire passed thu
House Of Peers by large majority
according to recent Geographic ad-
vice from Japan. This will ado
about 100000 new voters, or will
practically double the number of
votes in that country. The law
lowers the property qualification of
voters. The old suffrage law of the
empire required that to vote a man
must be twenty-five years old or
over, and that he must pay direct
tax-that Is to say, the central gov
eminent tax, amounting to 10 yen
($5) a year or more. The new law,
which will be in force with the next
election, lowers the tax rate to 3 yen
(s1.50) a year or more.
The members Of the Sei-yu-kai, the
government party, and, of course, the
dominant party at present, naturally
stands squarely back Of the govern
ment programme. But there are
within the party radical members
who favor universal manhood suf-
frage, taking away the property
qualification altogether. They got
together the other day and passed
resolution, which read:
This is the happy and supreme
hour to pass the measure for universal
suffrage. Moreover, IL our Sei-yu-kai
were to adopt the universal suffrage
platform unanimously, the Kensei-kai
(the opposition party), of course, and
also the Kokumin, Shinsei and the In
uVpeAueH0o, "oulu ldll IN llne and ap-
prove and support the measure with
enthusiasm. If the House of
Peers were to oppose it the govern
ment should dissolve the Diet and ap-
peal directly to the people"
The Kokumin party is decidedly
displeased with the government bill
extending the franchise on the
ground that it is entirely too mild
and inadequate to meet the wishes of
the people and the tendency of the
times. The leaders and more radi
cal members of the party are going
about among their own members
seeking signatures to a resolution
which reads, in part:
There is no further need for dis
cussion as to the imperative necessity
OF putting universal suffrage into
actual operation as the only answer to
the worldwide tendency which COM
pels Us to extend the franchise and
radically revise our laws from ton to
bottom. We therefore advocate the
abandonment of the timorous pro-
gramme Of mere extension Of outrage
and replacing it with a bill for uni
versal suffrage

$ FORD IGNORANT? HE ADMITS T BUT
 LATER DENIES II
Declares He Was a Murder CT Just As Well As Any body Else In Advocat-
 ing Preparedness
By AssocIatso Pro

Nit Clemens, Mich., July 17.-Henry Ford, underwent a severe GriIIing at the hands of Attorney Elliott C. stevenson in his s1 100000 libel suit against the Chicago Tribune today and on one oc- casion offered to concede points, which he subsequently denied, in order to close certain phases of the examina- ton.
 Most of today's testimony centered about the writings of Theodore De La vigne, MT. Ford's peace publicity agent. who it appears often put into the manu- lecturers mouth historical allusions of which his employer had never heard.
 As a witness Mir. Ford remembered very little that Mir. De La Vigne published and rarely knew what was to be pub lished.
 Questioned today by MT. Stevenson, he repeatedly took refuge in the statement that If it is in the book" Ca compilation of De La Vigne's) I'll say that it gave the public my views"
 Following are some of the statements published by De La Vigne and for which MT. Ford assumed full responsibility:
 "It (war) is the same old scarecrow talk by the same old lazy vultures who make human lives, seldom their own, the stake in their so-called battle of brains. "
 T feel that this cry for the training of men to kill other men and for the plac- ing of the army and navy as a burden on the backs of the people, is false conception of patriotism and treason to the life of the people,"
 The United States has spent more than a billion dollars on a navy and army that would cope with an invasion that never occurred and never will occur, and yet the very war experts who are re- sponsibls for that burdensome army and navy admit that our army and navy never would have been able to meet with any hope of success those of other so- called powers"
 Pressed by MT. Stevenson as to what vas meant by such statement, MT. Ford repeatedly remarked that if it was in the book it was, true. The whole effect of his replies was that by prepared ness he meant a preparedness greater than was needed for defense and he re- rarded the army and navy of 1916, when President Wilson was making tour of the country urging the necessity for in- creasing the army and navy, as quite ade- cuate.

Over Private Wires
Shannon & Co.'S Letter

New York, July 16.-The heavy tone of the early market was still in evidence during the later trading and while there appeared to be some cotton wanted on a scale down. the total was not large and the demand was not of the sort that gives rise to advances. Some rath- CT high temperatures were reported in Texas, as eight stations in the Houston district showed from 100 to 105 degrees but this had very little effect and the general feeling is that the crop on the whole is showing some omprovement.
 This with the possibility of the unpre cedented decline in all foreign exchange rates having tendency to check the export movement, holds buyers back and although sellers are not aggres- sive a good deal of support is essential to keep prices at this level. With out being disposed to get short we can readily see how the market can sag further for time and are rather in clined to look for it to do so. No ex- ports were reported today.-Post and Flagg.

P. D. Burgers Letter

New Orleans July 16.-Some uneasi-
 ness is entertained by the trade owing
 to the weakness in foreign exchange.
 Sterling demoralized, lowest on record.
 This we believe. is partly due to heavy
 offerings of bills, indicating large bu-
 siness ahead In 1918, when sterling
 was at it's previous low record. the de-
 cline was attributed to enormous buy
 ing by Great Britain of war material
 for her own account and her allies.
 Therefore the present decline in TOT
 eign exchange is undoubtedly due in
 part to prospects for commerce expand
 ing.
 The New York cotton goods market remains firm, with values tending high er There is a large number Of buyers in market, the number of which does not usually reach it's maximum until the middle of August, remaining so for 4o days thereafter.
 While the weekly weather and crop government review was more favorable as whole owing to better climatic conditions in the interior the past week, damage of weevils which are reported plentiful in the southern area of the 1 belt is complained of except less dam age In southern Georgia. Texas reports crop fruiting poorly owing to weevlls and recent heavy rains.
 Traders fear that the more favor | ablye weather of late is being offset l by damage by weevils which would | tend to prevent any improvement in the indicated yield pointed to at the close of June.-H. and B. Beer

 Judge Tucker at this point told Mir. Stew

 tor, he was an educator of the people,
 surely the standard that applies to the average man who does not assume to educate the people to qualify as a states,

 You could not find a man who would fill your place in the United States Sena- ate.' snapped Attorney Stevenson. T never wanted to go to the United States Senate replied the manufacturer. I might add that the people didn't
 want him either, but I won't said MT. Stevenson MT, Lucking declared that the remark was a dirty slur,' and the court cautioned the Tribune attorney. Much of the session was taken up in the reading of four of the speeches of President Wilson in January and Febru- ary of 1916, made at Kansas City, Des Moines, Chicago and Cleveland, in which he stated that the country was treading among dangers: that any day might see the United States plunged into the Euro pean conflict, and that there was urgent need to enlarge the army and navy and to take other preparedness measures.

You Will Never Be Cured by

Catarrh is condition of the blood and cannot be cured by local appllca- tions of sprays and touches; this has been proven by the thousands who have vainly resorted to this method of treat ment.
 Catarrh should not be neglected or experimented with. The wrong treat ment is valuable time lost, during which the disease is getting firmer hold upon it's victim, and making it more diff ficult for even the proper treatment to accomplish results.
