Baron Takallasi1i
Formally Installed
AS Japan's Premier
Continuation Of Peaceable
Foreign Policy Of Hara Is
Forecast; Others of Cab
met Retain Their Posts

TOXIC, Nov. IS BY The Associated
Press Baron Korekiyo Takahashi,
Minister of Finance in the Hara Cabi-
net, to-day officially assumed the
Premiership in succession to Takashi
Hara, who was assassinated Novem-
Der 4.
The appointment of Baron Taxa
hashi is generally regarded in political
circles as a favorable indication of
the waning of the power of the mill
tarists and as insuring what is termed
continuation of the "peaceable for
eign policy of Premier Hara"
The new Premier, accompanied by
Viscount> Uchida, the Foreign Minister,
proceeded to the palace this morning
for the installation, which took place
in the presence of Marquis Matsukata,
Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal; Wis
count Maxine, Minister of the Imperial
Household, and Count Ogimachi, the
Grand Chamberlain.
In addition to holding the Premier
ship Baron Takahashi will continue
Minister of the Navy. The other min
listers in the Hara Cabinet will retain
their posts.
The 'Yomi Uri Shimbun' says to-
day that Cabinet Council of Satur-
day decided upon the withdrawal of
the Japanese troops in Siberia as soon
as the agreement arrived at in the
conference at Dairen has been signed
A division of troops which was about
to start for Vladivostok for the pur-
pose OF reinforcing the troops in ST.
neria Will not proceed there, their
orders having been "canceled. 1t is
expected that the Dairen conference
will be reopened Monday.

connected with widespread agitation
In the leading cities of Japan.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 1s (By The AS
soclateo Press ):-According to un-,
anese here, Baron Takahasbi will keen
his old portfolio of Minister of Finance
while acting as Premier. The Japanese
IN Washington dwell on the pro-
nounced Liberalism of Takahashi in
discussing his appointment, and say
he IS especially in favor of maintain
ing the territorial integrity of China.
AS Minister Of Finance, Takahashi
was among the first to warn his fel-
low countrymen against excessive ex-
penditure at time when Japan's eco
nomic and financial condition had been
MT by the reaction following the period
OF war prosperity. 1t is believed,
therefore, that he will lend his active
support to any reasonable project of
naval retrenchment
Recently the new Premier declared
that If Japan wished to maintain her
position as one of the five great pow
ers it was imperative that China's in
exhaustlble raw materials should be
available to her. Japan, he insisted,
should renounce her twenty-one de-
mands and adopt positive construc-
tive and Interchangeable Chinese policy
which would include the development
of social, educational and economic
conditions in China. In other words,
the minister favored a kind of al
lance based upon magnanimous Jap
enese help to China.

NEW WRINKLE IN
TAX LAWS
Improvement Taxes Must be Shared
by Adjoining Property.

Through a demand by Finley Mon
roe for refund of a portion of
sprinkling taxes on his building at the
corner Of Main and Washington
streets, new wrinkle in the tax laws
was discovered. This building has
been taxed for sprinkling on Main
street and also on Washington street.
The statutes provide that for the
Washington street sprinkling, adjoin-
ing propertyaon Main street must help
bear the expense. This applies, of
course, to all corner buildings SINH
larly sprinkled. The law is plain and
the city council ordered that one
fourth of this years tax be refunded.
A warrant for $3.50 was issued in
favor of the Farmers Coop. Ditch
Co., as the city's share Of the cost of
the new cement bridge that spans the
canal on Main street.

II Popular with Bov..

Bruce Evans, the evangelist, is pop
ular with the small boys, and there is
a reason: He Is one of them; he be-
lieves in boys; he knows their aims
and desires and espouses their cauee.
In his sermon Monday night he plead
ed with fathers to let their boys have
q dog, no matter whether it was an
aristocrat or q mongreEjust 80 it
was dog. He has large class of
boys he meets with every afternoon.
On Saturday these boys viii give a
parade on Main street. Every boy
will be mounted on stilts and it is ex-
pected there will be from rs to 100 in
line. Knowing that boys like cake,
Bruce Evans last night called for
donations of cakes and 75 hands went
up almost cake apiece. The speci-
fications call for layer cakes, too;
those big ones of two or more layers.
After the parade, there will be feed
for the youngsters-andt then, maybe
the doctor, but if any Of them die
from overeating they'll die happy.
"If any are left" Bruce said, "Jack
Young and will finish en-" Do you
wonder that the boys have a warm
spot in their hearts for that kind of
a fellow?

Old Comrade Killed.

A dispatch from Filler in Mondays
papers told of the death of Grover
M. Pugh, veteran of the World war.
The news was of special interest to
many Emmett service men, as Mr..
Pugh was member of Colonel B. O.
Clark's Field Hospital company, and
was very popular with his associates.
He was killed in an accident at the
sugar factory. A few hours following
his death his wife gave birth to son.

near lslx xYxther's home was the fiith-
fulness and persistence Of the family
dog in arousing the household. The
boy is a son of J. R. Barnett. He is
not wild young man and not drink

bootlegger got in his work. The boy,
overcome by the poisonous concoc-
tion, was loaded in car and dumped
out on the ground near his fathers
house. He was able to nearly reach
the door, but could go no farther.
He lay unconscious in the freez-
ing cold The old dog saw the dan

scratching on the door. awoke the
father and caused him to investigate
the cause of the commotion. Prompt
home remedies saved the boys life,
but it was a narrow escape-and the
dog is the hero. There is forceful
lesson in this story to not only the
man who buys bootleg whisky, but
also to the one who sells it.

PANORMA OF MORMON
PILGRIMAGE
Wonderful Ingenious Picture
Made by Children of Prim-
ary Department of Church

Those who have not seen the pam
Drama of the Mormon trail, on ex-
hibition at the l.. D. S. church, have
missed a treat. 1t is the creation Of
the children of the primary depart
ment of the church, and was arranged
under the direction of Mrs. Ellis Har-
ris. 1t is a marvellous piece of work
from the standpoint of accurate de-
lineation of the subject and because
of the painstaking ingenuity mani
tested.
The panorama is built Of cardboard
and such other material as was at
hand, and occupies one entire side Of
the church. 1t shows the start Of the
Mormon emigrants from Nauvoo, H.,
with the snow six inches deep. The
tabernacle is shown there, the canvas
covered carts and oxen, with cotton
representing the snow. The trail il
followed clear through to where beau
tiful Salt Lake appears in the dis
tance. The plains are sand covered.
Camping places are shown with cor
rails for stock and wagons drawn in q
circle as protection from Indians.
Indian tepees are shown along the
route. The Rocky mountains are cas-
lily distinguishable. Not detail is
lacking to make the picture faith
full representation Of the long and
hazardous pilgrimage, and it is a
wonderfully artistic and ingenious
piece of work and well worth seeing.
1t was prepared to teach the young
er generation the story of this histor-
ic pilgrimage.
A lecture descriptive of the journey
is given by some one each day.

acteristic and the people are always
on the alert TO get what they know
Will come along by and by.
Talking on the cure at the Pool OF
Sloan, he said, at is not Gods plan
or idea that humanity should be free
of pain or trouble absolutely. Death
is part Of His plan and leads directly
to forward march of his great work
This earth is mere speck in Gods
great movement; not the whole works
as we are inclined to believe. There
were 500 people around Sloan that
day, 500 suffering people, but Christ
healed just one. There were a million
dead people in around Jerusalem, but
Christ didn't raise them all or even a
fraction Of them. His mission was to
souls, not backbones. Out of sickness
has arisen the worlds greatest char
acters to bless humanity. The Red
Cross never got its birth in happiness
and health, but was born in blood,
pain and suffering. Our missions are
not the children of contentment, but
their warm hearts rise from wreckage
Prosperity is conductive to the big
head and neglect of humanity. During
the war shipyard men with big wages
did not turn to the church or God, but
ran riot into excess. Jesus asked,
what shall do for you," and this
one man said ~ have no man." Same
old cry today. We have men for gro-
ceries, meat markets, banks, law Of
fiees, farms, newspapers, clerks, and
contractors, but no man to reach down
and help the sin burdened fellow into
the water Of life. A lot of you are
like wheelbarrows: go as far as you
are pushed. No man ever joined the
church because he was good enough.
The differspce between a sinner and
q christion Is that the christian ac-
he is not good enough
without the help and continual nour-
ishment Of the Sabbath day and Bible
while the man outside admits that he
is good enough right where he is. All
by his lonesome he is perfection, or at
least 80 good that he needs nothing
to help him to be better. AS mat
ter of fact, no one but a sinner feels
fully capable of weaving his own
crown of eternal life

A Line ON Evans.

Mr.. Evans il . rapid speaker, with
a naturalness that is as open as the
face of q grandfather clock He uses
no notes and occasionally advises the
crowd to take note of his outline,
which he says he has even if they
never see it again. 81 want you to
know I have it," he smiles, and then
heads out to sea with the evident in
tention Of putting in a straight course
to his harbor. There are no strings
on him and as like as not in the first
five minutes he will see something
ahead that needs attention and in a
jiffy his outline has been ditched and
he travels afield as happy as Hooli-
gan hot from a handout The crowd
travels with him; no tears are shed
over the discarded outline and it's
only after quarter of an hours en-
joyable trip that he comes back to the
hedge where he left his outline, takes
it up and flaps it in the rhetorical
wind until he is attracted to another
journey abroad The crowd seems to
like Evans free and easy way of
getting through the nights work. He
throws in some asides that are side
splitters and bear a naturalness that
makes for intimacy with his crowd

night apropos of nothing in particu-
