INFLUENCE IN JAPANESE ART
Bird Motive Present in Every Crea-
ton, With Its Exquisite Form,
Color and Motion.

Perhaps no patton so closely lives
to the ideal of that bird lover w. H.
Hudson, in so far as Its feathered citi-
zens are concerned. as the japanese.
In the art of the island kingdom the
bird influence is almost supreme. Not
alone in pictures which are bird mo-
tives. but throughout their art, TO
whatever realm it goes, these motives
are present. even when they do not
dominate. The dip and recovery, the
stately fight, the alighting, every mo-
ton of the beautiful airy creatures
has inspired in japanese art its exQui-
site flowing line. In decorative art
the form, color and motion of birds
contribute even more.
Japan abounds in bird life, of inter-
est to the people as to the artists.
While TO sportsmen 1t Is a deiectable

length of islands north and south, and

new BATTLE FOR
AMERICAN FREEDOM
by F. G. R. GORDON)

The issue is already made for 1920.
We are said to have won the fight in
Europe upon the battlefields of
France. Now we must fight the great
est political battle to preserve democ-
racy in America.
The century old democratic party,
the party of jefferson, Jackson and
Cleveland, which stood for individual
ism, for legitimate property rights
and political freedom, no longer ex-
lists. In it's place has come a party
with the old name clothed with a new
suit, with new leaders, and a new prin-
ciple.
Today the party that Jefferson
founded is swinging straight to state
socialism. Ever since Woodrow Will
son entered the White House, the old
historic democratic party has been
chasing after the soealistic gods. In
practically every industrial state it is
committed to state and municipal So
cialism. 1t gladly accepts the jour-
nalistic leadership of William R.
Hearst, the most dangerous dema-
gogue in the nation. Its party lead
err has seized one great industry after
another for public operation and po-

81 IN 1919.

Though the general public may not
be aware of the fact, the United
States usually experiences from 100
to 200 earthquakes each year. This
is shown by reports sent to the wealth
er bureau, United States department
of agriculture, from the large number
of stations which it maintains in var
ious parts of the country and from it's
voluntary co-operators who send in
notices of earthquakes observed in
their respective localities. The num-
Der of disturbances last year was 81,
and the number reported the year be-
for was 127. A very large proportion
of these, of course, are SO slight as
to be entirely unnoticed by the pub
lie. On the Pacific coast slight earth
tremors are of sufficient frequency to
cause no comment whatever. The ma

truth was that the cold had simply

BILE to the wandering diphtheria germ.
If your child has a cold when diph-
liberia is prevalent you should take
him out of school and keep him off
the street until fully recovered, as
there is a hundred times more danger
Of his taking diphtheria when he has
a cold. When Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is given it quickly cures the
cold and lessons the danger Of diph-
liberia or any other germ disease be-
ing contracted.

jority Of quakes are reported from

jority Of quakes are reported from
that region.
One fact, however, shown by the
summary Of earthquake reports for
1919, which has recently been prepar-
ed, is that more than a score of these
disturbances occurred in the Mississip-
pi valley. The region comprising
southern Illinois, southern Indiana,
western Kentucky, and western Ten
nessee experienced 20 quakes, while
n was recorded in northeastern Mis-
souri,, two Immediately south of Wich-
ita, Kans., and one in Washington,
D. c. Many disturbances in the total
number reported would have wholly
escaped attention but for the seismo-
graphs, which are so delicate that they
usually will detect a violent shock no
matter in what part of the world it
occurs.

on capital invested and loss Of taxes,
these two items alone wipe out the
5000, 0O0, 900 of alleged profits. Then
there are the low wages and high cost
for freight service also. Again, on
the German railways one may carry
only 90 pounds of baggage with one
railroad ticket as against $50 pounds
in this country. Before the war the
German empire spent about 81 $780,
10000 annually, yet the Hearst or
gans unblushingly tell US, ~editorially,
that one-half- of all the expenses for
the aforementioned railways!
Worst Managed Big Business.
But, there is our postoffice, say the
advocates of public ownership. The
p~ostoffice is the worst managed big
business in this nation. You read,
once in a while, that there is a sur
plus earned by the postoffice. There
never was such a thing. To ignore
overhead costs is clearly to misrep-
resent the real financial facts, and ig-
noring overhead charges is just what
nearly every postmaster general does.
But let US see just where we do not
stand in the matter of u socialist
ic postoffice: In the first place the
postoffice department has many mil
lion dollars invested in the business,
on which it never paid a cent Of tax
es. In the second place, the salary of
the postmaster general and all his
staff, numbering hundreds of highly
paid officials, is paid from the treas
ury department. The government has
expended about $3.50, DOC, 900 in public
buildings, 70 per cent of the space Of
which is occupied by the postoffice
for which it pays not a penny. These
two overhead costs represent $4,000
900 a year. Or, to put it another way:
Our p~ostoffice department draws up
on the treasury department to the tune
of a million dollars a month. Then
against: If we take the entire reve-
nue. and the expenses of operation for
the postoffice from 1866 to 1918 we
find that the total deficit amounted to
S279, 67,516. The direct and indirect
losses total more than $15,0OO,000 a
year, and this is what Mr.. Hearst and
| his socialistic editors call a success.
Governments never perform any
| service with economy or efficiency. 1t
requires two dollars and two men to
accomplish the same result that pri-
vate industry secures with one. If we
were to socialize the railways within
five years the added expenses of OPP
Grafton would be not less than $5,000,-
a day. In five years we would have
added to the government payroll two
and half million employees; and they
would be almost solidly organized
welding their political power to gain
higher and higher wages with fewer
and fewer hours of labor. And these
with the telegraph and telephone sys-
tens, the express, the cable lines, and
perhaps the coal mines, would be all
that was required to build a political
oligarchy which could be overthrow
only by a revolution. And this is
what, in my opinion, the Wilson ad-
ministration is working for. The cleo
ton of a republican congress came not
a day too soon.
