Japan Wonders at Conduct
OF Descendant of the Gods

TOKYO. August Reports of the
tTa:elS of the crown prince in Narl-
ous countries in Europe are being
published at great length in Japan,
ana the accounts of the democratic
minEling of this descendant of the
gcds with mere ordinary mOrtals
are being received with wonder
rient, but, as a rule. with satisfac-
tion
The imperial household. the
stronghold of all that is Conserva-
tive and redOlent with ancient cere-
nonial. has even begun TO awaken
from it's sleep of centuries. and il
is given out that on the return of
the crown prince many reforms are
to be carried out, when much an
cient ceremonial will be replaced
bS more modern dOings.
Imperial HouseheJH Waivers.
Thus it is understood that the
imI erial household is considering
abandoning the present rule which
prevents publication of pictures Of
the cEoWn prince without specific
permission having been granted.
Admission to certain of the impe-
rial grounds is also to be made
easier, and some OF the vast lands
held by royalty may be opened for
use by the people.
The prospect OF visit in Japan
hv the Prince Of Wales has brought
up the point that at that time it
will be necessary for the Crown
prince 70 entertain his royal Wis
itor at some theater. and many
ceremonial complications must be
considered.
To a westerner the shy little
steps taken by Japan in the direc-
tion OF democracy are quite anus
i1g. for royal travel and the like
is sStiH attended by an amount Of
circumstance and ceremonial which
CsnnCt but seem ludicrous to repub-
Iican eyes. However, while the
progress is gradual and by small
stepS~OhIy, il is steady. and there
can he no doubt but that the travels
of the crown prince will do much
to hasten the process.
