A Royal Marriage a la
Mode.

Because of the far-sighted state
craft OF Prince Ito - who took the
young Prince vi as a boy OF nine to
be educated in Japan - the present
rulers of Corea have gilded the pill
OF "assimilation" for him whose father
was an Emperor. They have left him
the outward and visible signs of SEMI
royal state and have given face" to
many Of the old Corean nobility-as
useless a lot Of hereditary MASTERS as
ever fattened on miserable peasant
ry. They are going to marry HIS
Highness, in April. TO n daughter or
the Japanese Prince Nashimoto, the
idea being TO set an example OF har-
monious fusion, and thus to counter
act the agitation OF the mission
taught students and other eXponentS
of the principle of "self-determina-
ton" One hears all sorts of stories
about this strategic marriage. Very
different Is the tale they tell you in
Seoul from that which you get at
TOXIC.
Most japanese will tell you that, in
giving Prince VI one of the most
beautiful and high-born ladies OF
Japan to wed, the Japanese Govern
ment Is doing its best to atone for the
errors and offenses committed by the
Military Party in Corea; that the
marriage is, in fact, part and parcel
of the policy of conclliatory LIBERAL
ism, which aims at making the Cos
reans capable and contented citizens
of the empire, with equal rights and
representation. They point TO the fact
that the administration of the country
Is now in the hands OF progressive
and broad-minded civilians and that
the condition OF the people, Infinitely
better than ever II was under the old
regime, is steadily improving; both
OF which facts are undeniable. When
the COreans get the measures of local
self-government which have been
promised them and full representa-
ton in the Imperial Diet, the cry OF
self will have moths
ing behind 1t but the professional agis
tator and the mushy sentimentalistS

Even II, in some Isolated cases, the
exceptional man comes to the front
and makes a conspicuous success OF
things, there Is no justification for
the fact that, in the very nature of
things, the vast majority should not
have a fairly decent living. Aside
from the fact that we are not all COM
mercial wizards, there are not enough
big jobs to go around.
The answer is-'unionize." Results

Let Us Rejolce?"
on Saturday. June 5. 1920, the
President Signed the Postal Wage Bill
that gave the Post Office employees
an increase in salary Of $3.50 to 5000.
The bill also deprived men from col
lecting pay for Sunday work. Is this
raise good enough to keep the few
"old timers" from resigning2
Does the public know that from
this increase we are forced to pay
"a per cent. or $40 to $50 a year for
the pension fund? Do the people
know that after paying for this fund
for thirty or forty years we then will
receive about SIS a week?
Why does President Franciscus OF
the u. N. A. p. o. c. send printed
copies of "Let Us Rejoice" to the
postal employees2 If he thinks the
Increase is good, why do the postal
employees think differently and write
