LIBERAL TREND
in SPEECHES in
JAPANESE DIET

Toxic, Sep. II - The liberalistic
tendencies of the speeches in this
years session of the Diet has been a
distinct feature of constitutional de-
velopment in Japan. The leader of
the movement is a young representa-
tive named Ryutaro Nagai whose
boldness of word has attracted the at
tent:on of the empire In the railroad
train, at public meetings, wherever
men gather, the name of Nagal IS on
the lips of japanese as a coming
man."
Naiga was formerly a professor at
Waseda University. the most demo-
cratic of Japans universities which
was founded by that heroic radical
leader, Marquis Oxuma. The young
man is a great believer in the demo-
cratic development of japanese po-
litical institutions. and is an adm1rer
of both the British parliament and
the American Congress. He is de-
scribed a man of remarkable or
atorial talents who will be heard
from later in modernized Japan.
But the young orator came to grief
in a nlainden speech in the House
of Representatives when during an
attack on the cabinet he called Pre-
mier Hara 1.-The autocratic Lenine OF
Japan" The governmental majority
had him sent to the disciplinary
committee which suspended him for
five days from the sittings of the
house.
The incident caused members Of
the opposition party to hold an in
dignation'' meeting in a Toxic hall
for the purpose of protecting free
dom of speech and personal rights
Many policemen were present and
finally stopped the meeting alto
gether. Mr.. Nagai was given a great
ovation. He insisted that thorough
regeneration of the representative of
the people in the Diet was really
more imperative than a change in
the cabinet for, he said, the stand
ard of the Diet must be raised.
OF free speech he said: Japan
has in the past shown her wonder
full capacity for assimilation may
be seen from the Organization of
Buddhism and Confucianism and
from the fact that Christianity is al
so in the same process of assimila-
ton. With such glaring object les
sons before US an attempt to prevent
new ideas from taking hold of the
people by the suppression of speech
much be described as ignorance of
the great national characteristics and
an insult to the power of assimila-
ton of the japanese people,"

HELPFUL HINTS.

To remove a cold pudding or jelly
from the mold, wrap a hot cloth
around it for two three minutes.
If it is a hot one you want to re-
move, wrap very cold cloth around
instead to make it stip out easily.
Stockings of different colors should
never be washed in the same basin.
Dyes are very uncertain and a mix
ture of two or more cOlorS may

If you have a white blouse which
has become stained under the arms,
put it in to soak for a half hour in
warm water, to which has been add
ed little ammonia. Use no soap, as
that will set the stain. Wiring it out,
and if the mark is not gone. squeeze
little lemon juice on it and rinse
in clear water. Afterward it may
be washed in the usual way.

URGING SUPPORT OFlEAGUE, COX SAYS
 IT WOULD BENEFIT AMERICAN BUSINESS
Predicts Dollar Wheat and Widespread Recess siOns Unless United States Decides to Join.

Syracuse, N. Y.. Oct. 1S.-Moral and material arguments for American membership in the Lea que of Nations were presented by Governor Cox here today to two audiences. Americas S interests, the democratic presidential candidate declared, should cause re- jection of a policy of isolation.
 The governor addressed large audience at a theater and another of business men at the local Chamber of Commerce.
 Benefits, which he said, would flow from American participation in the league were emphasized by the governor in his business mems ad- dress.
 Don't develop the idea of isola- tion." he urged. That's selfish and unholx When we isolate ourselves commercially we also isolate ourselves morally"
 Would Aid Business.
 Dccla ring that European markets were necessary to take America S surplus products and that the 'eague only can restore them Governor Cox said:
 "In my judgment dollar wheat and a more widespread business recession will come unless it is certain that We enter the league. The price of wheat is fixed by the law Of supply and demand abroad"
 The steel industry might continue prosperous in the upbuilding of Eu- rope without the league. the gover- nor stated. but he said the league was essential to insure market for other American products. especially those of the farm.
 Governor Cox also urged repeal of the excess profits tax and said that with disa provided by the league and d budget system estab- lished for federal affairs, together with reorganization of government depa artrnents. the national war debt could be paid ''iwthout much trouble

DEMOCRATS pEEVED
Claim is Made That Their Agreement For Hire Of Theatre Was. Broken for Republican Party Rally.

Members of the hall committee of the democratic town committee arc exceedingly indignant at the Lyceum theater corporation for an alleged breach of contract. According to a story made public today by prominent democrats, the theater was leased by verbal contract by Lawyers George Lc Witt and David l.. Dunn. acting for the democrats for October IT, 24 and 31. They have now been informed that they may have the theater on the first two dates only. as the corpora ton has decided to rent the place to the republicans for a rally on the 31st. Of tho month.
 Officers of the corporation explained today that while they knew the place had been leased to the democrats by Manager Ben Slavin they felt it would be only fair to both parties to split the dates. Consequently, when Senator George w. Klett made appli- cation for the use of the theater his application was acted tavorably upon.

Talks on Local Issues

MT. Dutton said in part: ''There are certain issues that closely concern us all, issues that are receiving sur prisingly little consideration. Take for example the matter of coal. of fuel a question that comes directly and in- timately into every household, every manufacturing esta tablishment, every mercantile house and public building. Coal is inc very life blood of business, commerce and comfort It is to indus try and domestic life what money is to finance and trade. The Republicans have been in control of Congress since and have done absolutely nothing to curb profiteering in the necessities of life-food and fuel.
 Puts Blame on GOugcrs.
 At present we are suffering acutely and unnecessarily because monopolists speculators and gougers have a strangle hold on the absolute necessi- ties which they dole out to us in little parcels. They compel us to pay tribute To greed. Congress can give us relief without interfering with any honest and legitimate phase of the minin g and distribution of coal. If elected I shall make it my business to give this problem my special attention.''

DOCTORS TO FORCE
 FOOD ON M'SWINEY
Will Give Him Nourishment When He Becomes Unconscious-Victim Op- poses Such Action.


 London, Oct. 1S.-Terence Mac Swiney, lord mayor of Cork passed a very good night at Brixton prison, according to a bulletin issued early today by the Irish self lf-determination league. It is said he slept well but seems to have caught a slight cold. Every precaution, however is being taken to prevent its development.
 In a later bulletin the league says n doctor has told MacSwiuey and re- peated his warming on Sunday, that his condition is becoming more and more precarious. When he becomes unconscious the doctor is said to have declared he would feel bound to do life and would feed him as far as he could while he was unconscious. Mac Swiney is quoted as saying that if any such conditions he would again com mence his hunger strike as soon as revived.
 Tn his present state of extreme weakness tho bulletin says, "the lord mayor naturally feels such action of feeding him would only prolong his torture. He wishes il known, however, that he is perfectly happy. If there is any attempt to feed him while he is unconscious he will re-commence his hunger strike as soon as revived, and whether life or death for him and his com trades is the outcome of the present struggle they have won their battle and evacuation of Ireland by the enemy will follow very soon."
