For nearly ten year since Japan arl- nexed Korea the latter has been the object of little attention by the world. The annexation was peacefully ac-l complished by mutual consent of the governments of the two nations; due to that memorable event, Korea ceased to be the storm center of the Far East, which it had been for many years prior to it; and under the efficient government of Japan the Korean peo- pie rapidly advanced in civilization and enjoyed the blessing resulting from the development of productive industry, as well as from the spread of education. In fact, all seemed to be going well in this peninsula, writes Baron Makota Saiti, gOvernor-general of Korea in The Independent. Such was also the feeling of both the gov ernment and people in Japan proper It was, therefore, cause of general surprise when last spring what is now known as independence demonstra- tions" suddenly broke out in many parts of Korea. Nevertheless, we must admit that, for the serious situation presenting itself last spring in this peninsula, we must-hold ourselves as principally responsible. In pursuing their administrative policies, my pre- decessors had no other desire than to , improve the condition of the Korean people and so make them happier. That they were eminently successful in this work has been attested by the late Colonel Roosevelt and many other eminent foreign observers and critics. But at the same time it cannot be de- nied that in the hands of petty off, eials, their policies were often carried iraT1& tro 1asc- 5 hot {11e, policies themselves, though suiting the condition of the Korean people, for some time after annexation, needed more or less revision so as to keep , pace with the progress of the times and the intellectual and economic ad- yancement made in the meantime by the Korean people. As a matter of fact, the government was contemplat- ing the introduction of reforms in it's policies, but unfortunately this was not made known promptly enough and in time to prevent the outbreak of those demonstrations, which were nothing more or less than expressions of popular dissatisfaction with the ex- isting regime.
 The government in Tokyo, thorough ly aroused by those events, recognized the necessity of promptly introducing
 fdulCdl FeIOFinS III the duIHlnlSLrdIlOIl of Korea, and at once set itself to the ttask of revising the organic regu1a- tions of the government general. This
 was completed in August, and the re-
 vised organic regulations were made
 public in the course of the same month. Among others, the most i'm
 portant reforms effected thereby were the abolition of the rule reserving the : post of gevernorrgeneral exclusivel!
 for naval or military officers and the
 abolition of the policing of the coun-
 try by gendarmeries. In other words

Stories That Recall Others.
Needed an Excuse.

Bobby dislikes overshoes, saving that big boys do not wear them. Dur ing the recent siush and snow Bobby had to don his rubbers every time he ventured into the street to play. Look ing out the window, his mother saw him walking toward home, deliberately selecting the places on the sidewalk where the slush was the thickest, al though the other side of the walk was fairly dry. She remonstrated with him, telling him to walk where the path was dry.
 Well, mother" complained Bobby, 'don't you see I've got to have a 'scuse for wearing these overshoes.
 Twice as Sore.
 At a recent entertainment where an admission of 50 cents was charged the affair to some minds was not worth the price, and several women were not backward in saying so.
 'It made me mighty sore to be charged with 50 cents for that per formance" one objector said "Oh, you got off easv," remarked another. 'T understand the chairman of the affair wanted to charge $1 ad- mission"
 'In that event I would have beer just twice as sore" the original Lady Peeve shot back.

THE FARMERS, REPLY

As an answer to the appeals which have been made by labor leaders to get the farmers of the country to join with them. the action of the farmers organizations can hardly be regarded as satisfying. It was decided by such organizations as the National Milk Producers Federation, Farmers Ma tional Congress, International Farm Congress and National Farmers Union that they should not go into politics as organizations, that their organizations were for other purposes and that each member should be per mitted to exercise his personal pref erence when it comes to voting.
 The farmers have also declared against the strike. The National Grange through it's representative, T. c. Atkeson said. eve decided that the interests of the farmers and of or ganized labor were not identical, in fact were diametrically opposed on some questions. The union man wants shorter hours and higher pay, which means higher prices to the consumer A similar attitude on the part of the farmer would mean curtailment ot production of food until the people were so hungry they would pay ex- orbitant prices rather than starve Instead it is our policy to encourage as much work as possible to stimu- late production, so that normal con- ditiors may be restored"
 It is quite evident from the stand which has been taken by the 'organi- cations of farmers that they have no been impressed by the strikes that have been causing the country sc much trouble, that they consider il would be an injustice to themselve. and the country to unite with labo, under those conditions and that the, cannot endorse the class fight that i is making.
 The farmers are seeking better con ditions for themselves as we'll as oth. CTS but they are not impressed by tn, | methods that have been employed b, l certain labor organizations in thei
 attempts to hold up the country fo personal gain. The farmers canno
 be said to be satisfied but they ar
 not willing to adopt unjust method
 to bring about the change.

nHE RAiLRoAn aILL

There remain now little more than two weeks before the railroads will by order of the president be turned back to the owners. For months con- gross has been at work upon legisla- tion dealing with that return and set ting forth what the conditions of gov ernment control will be after the owners get their property and what will be done to live up to the promise that the roads would be returned in as good condition as when they were taken.
 The digestion of the various plans for dealing with the roads as they are turned back has resulted in a compromise bill, which while not all that might be expected is one upon which it is believed agreement can be secured, and it is gratifying to note that despite such opposition as has been indicated and that which can be expected the leaders are confident that the bill will pass both houses.
 The matter of railroad legislation should have received such attention that it could have been acted upon before this time, but 1t would be a serious mistake, with the date fixed for the returning of the roads, not to have the regulations ready for meet ing the new conditions. It would re- suit in all kinds of confusion, an in justice to the roads and likewise to the country. The remaining two weeks are sufficient in which to dis pose of the bill. In fact it should re- Quire only a small part of that time to act upon the report of the confer ence committee. The country is anxious that the government control should end, that there should likewise be an emphatic negative to the prop osition of those who are urging gov ernment ownership and that the lines should go back to those that own them on a basis of absolute fair ness. Tn view of conditions the railroad bill should have the right o1 way until it is disposed of

Sunday Morning Talk
IN THE MORNING

Did you ever watch all night by the side of a sick friend How long the hours seemed as you set there. How many. many times you looked at the clock The minutes seemed to creep away so slowly! Would it ever be first blush of daylight in the far east, and long before the shadows be- gan to lift, you pushed up the cur tain and leaned out of the window to see if the day ever would dawn.
 At last it came. You went into the still, calm morning and stood with barred head looking up into the sky. If ever you were thankful to breathe the pure air of heaven again, it was then. You threw back your shoulders and fairly drank in to feel as if your feet had wings. When you started homeward it seem- ed to you that you might almost fly, so light were your feet. The morning had come. The hours of your watch ing were over.
 This life is a long season of watch ing. Even the dreams which come to us seem troubled. Now and then we sit down and wonder if there will be any morning for us. We stop in our work sometimes long enough to turn our eyes upward striving to catch the first gleams of the day which shall end our long vigil. We count the hours as they slowly creep away and wonder what the day will be like when it comes.
 And at last the day does come. Our watching is over. The dreams end. The sickness turns. Health and peace takes the place of pain and trouble. How glorious is the morn ingi But who can describe the beau ty of that daWning? Sometimes as we read the pictures of the other home in the Book it seems to us that we can catch glimpses of what it is to be. In fancy we may almost see the jasper walls. The crystal waters of the river of life fall gently on the ear. From the open windows of the palace of gold light supernal stream ing down upon our heads. We al- most catch the Sweet notes of the song of the Lamb. But this is only for a. moment. The vision fades and we are | once more here on earth. I do not think mortal eye can con- ceive what beauties our morning will bring no human tongue can describe its raptures. And I am glad this is so Enough has been revealed to us to show that earth has nothing that can
 be compared to the splendor of the
 daN soon to dawn for us. The awakening will be all the more grand because we know so little about it now. If God had told us all about it
 in His Word. it would be almost as
 if we had caught a glimpse of some beautiful Christmas gift friend had
 made for us before the time. It never l would seem quite to us as if we never had seen 1t at all.
 So it is we'll that "eye hath not
 seen nor ear heard, neither have en- tered into the heart of man the
 things that God hath prepared for l them that love Him. ~Only the nfJfn-
 ing can reveal the joys that await us | if we are faithful.

means are treated free. Those well knowing the sanitary condition that existed in this peninsula prior to aI- nexation will not be chary in giving credit to the Japanese government for the good work it has done in this
 branch of public work The govern
 ment, however, is not satisfied with
 what has so far been achieved. On the
 contrary, it is determined to improve and complete medical relief work for
 the Korean people. With this idea in view, plans have been formed to es- tablish more charity hospitals, appoint more public doctors, and increase the force of sanitary experts attached to provincial governments
 The spread of education among the Korean people has already been one of the tasks most earnestly carried on by I the government since it undertook the administration of this peninsula Be- sides three colleges and several higher 1 schools for boys, and two higher
 schools for girls. the government has 1 already established 460 common l schools giving education to S700O Ko- rean children. It has been recognized I by the government however. that, in order to cope with the progress of the i times, it is necessary to introduce l some radical reforms into its educa- l tional system. Accordingly, the gov
 ernment is now deliberating plans for 1 lengthening the school course for Ko-
 rean children, improving the school l curricula, increasing the number of ] schools, and establishing new organs
 for higher education, as well as for the improvement of those already existing | it was formerly planned to establish flour hundred new common schools in the course of the next eight years at the rate of fifty a year, but this
 scheme has now been changed tos the establishment of one hundred new schools year, so that four hundred may be completed in four years tc come.
 Finally. in regard to the reform oi the police system. it may be explained that it has been made both in method 1 and in spirit. The. policing of this
 country is now entirely done by civi
 officials, as in Japan proper.

TUMBLE LOOKED FOR
IN PRICES ON COAL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-(A. Ply
Forecast of q tumble in coal prices
was made by department of Justice Of
ficials today coincident with announce
ment of renewed activity" in the
campaign against coal profiteers.
With production on the increase, We-
diction was made that the coal market
would follow sugar prices in an early
break.
Prices already have dropped at Bal
Itimore where the federal agents start
ed yesterday to gather evidence
against an alleged combination of deal
ers who were declared to have boosted
prices through repeated re-sales. A
similar attack on profiteers has been
ordered at Hampton Roads.
Although interior points have re-
ported exorbitant coal prices in many
instances, it was stated that the flag
rant violations of the Lever law were
confined largely to the Atlantic coast.
The department will press its investi-
cations at all points, however. as a
part of the program outlined Monday
when the attorney general instructed
all United States attorneys to delve
into coal prices on the basis of infor-
nation that pyramiding of prices had
been accomplished through inter-trade
sales.
