IDEA ORIGINATED IN ORIENT
Elnoer.Print System Claimed to Have
Been In Use In Far East Tor
Many Years

The finger-print system that sleuths
all over the world have successfully
used In catching desperate criminals
WAS the invention of orientals. either
Chinese or japanese, according 10
Fiilipo de Filippi, writing in Nature
The discovery was originally credited
10 Sir w. Herschel. in a parliamentary
blue book, but Kumagusus Minakata'
a japanese, proved the case for the
East.
No one In the controversy quoted
Rashid-u din, who wrote about the
system in use I'm Cathay even In MS
day. II was a finger-print system OF a
sort, although not like that In use
TODAY. There was no blackening OF
the hands prior to the taking OF the
IMPRESSION. but rather the hand was
placed on paper and traced by the per.
son taking the print. The hands OF
contracting parties were always placed
On deeds in those days.
De Filippi says that this ancient
system is worthy OF investigation 10
soy as study OF the drawings shows
n distinct difference In the outlines
OF fingers OF the hands OF different IN
dIvlduals, In the length of the fingers
the relative distance made by the AXIS
of the thumb and the axis of the hrst
finger, and In many other ways.

In the Aue of ChlValry.

Most persons will be surprised TO
hear that the idea OF women requir-
ing escort. especially of really pro
tective nature. is OF comparatively
modern origin. But such appears 10
he the case. Nothing strikes one
more forcibly In the study of medieval
literature than the absolute freedom
women enjoyed TO travel and wander
alone without fear of molestation. The
times were unsettled undoubtedly,
and men lived for fighting only. But
nevertheless. the helpless and defense
less were safe enough so far AS one
can Judge from contemporary litera-
ture. II is not 10 be denied that they
came to grief occasionally, but as a
general rule men respected the other

SEN. HIRAM JOHNSON FLAYS P0L|C|ES|
OF DEMOCRAT|C;PARTY: LAUDS c. 0. p
Predicts OUereung Success of Republicans at Polls in NOU
DeUers Address to Republican State Convention at
Sacramento; Lauds Senator Harding and Severely Crczes
Wilson'S League of Nations.

Mr.. Wilson's government is severe but
warranted by the facts. For the first
time IN our lives the democratic ad
ministraton taught us what repression
and suppression were. This admin
stration not only curtailed the con-
stitutional privilege of citizens at
hone but endeavored to drive us into
pcrilious paths abroad. Free speech
has been threatened not in the interest
CT patriotism but for existing power.
A free press has been endangered. A
rigid censorship diluted. The news
and facts to which all were entitled
were forbidden publication while gov
eminent propaganda colored and often
distorted the information permitted to
ocme to the people.
\ Bred Intolerance
/ "These assaults insensibly bred in
tolerance. The ancient foe of freedom,
the necessary restriction of wartime
have been ineXcusably prolonged IN
peace and our goernmcnt has strayed
far from those fundamental principles
tpon which more than a century and a
quarter the republican has so securely
rested. Net only have these things
transferred domestically but while our
inteliects were numbed with the an
Guish of war and free expression was
controlled the present democratic ad-
'inistration sought to revolutionize
The time honored foreign plicy of the

distant quarrel and controversy and
cf every militaristic adventure under
the specious guise of Leage of Ma

When first in soft and honeyed praises
the subject was broached, We had be-
come 50 accustomed to ready assent
to every word and act of tutocratic
power that our people enthusiastically
acclaimed the League without know
lodge of it's retail or understanding of
is injurious possibilities. The long
end ardous debate in the senate finally
illumined the subject and what was
originally accepted as humanity's
greatest boon was really seen as the
most perilous project which had ever
cen attempted in the republic. The
League Of Nations not alone will If
revocably change our foreign policy
and involve us in the quarrels and con-
troversies in which we have no con-

one hand and Our time honored policy
upon the other. We neither hazard

to chide us with aloofness and selfish
isolation in remaining as we have
been. We never have been and never
