who figured largely in the affairs of the Old Japan
which preceded the opening of that country 70 the
influence Of the western spirit and methods. The ar
ticfe will have special interestto a good many Grand
Forks people, for it was Viscount then baron) Shi-
,busawar who headed the party of Japanese business
and professional men who made a tour Of the United
States several years ago, and who spent the greater
part Of a day in and around Grand Forks, very pleas
antly for them they declared, and certainly most
pleasantly for the Grand Forks people who were
privileged to meet them. The portrait which appears
On the Outlook's cover wilrecall to many tie strong
features of the venerable business man and states
man who has been Z power in two great erass Of 4
nations growth.
Of the conditions which existed in the Japan Of
IShibusawa's early manhood, MIR, Street writes:
"The Japan Of Viscount Shibusawa's youth and
early manhood was divided into some three hundred
teudal districts, each ruled by a daimyo,S or ~chieftain,
having his castles, his court, his concubines, his re-
tanners; among the latter, soldiers in arrror, wearing
Ifiideous masks calculated to tcrrify the foe and
equipped only witt, swords, spears, and bows and
arrows. # 4
''These chiefs had absolute power over the peo-
pie and lands in their domains. They could make
laws, issue paper money, lay taxes, impose labor and
them property or life itself. @#
1T was a land without railways, without steam
power. without window glass a landin which mobiles
Journeyed by the highroads in magnificent process

afoot, their lacquered palanquins, their coolie bear
rers; a land in which when great lords passed, hAm-
Bile citizens fell to their knees and touched their fore
heads to the ground a land of dueis, feuds, vendet-
tas, clan vars; a land in which the %san1urai, or gent
~, alone were allowed the privilege OF, wearing
swords, in which. a plebeian could be struck down
by . samurai for the most trifling reason, and in
which one of the privileges most highly priced by
'sannurai was the right of one holding that rank to die
by his own hand if condemned to death, instead Of
by the hand Of the public executioner. Involved with
this privilege OF hara-kiri-7or, as the Jaancse prefer
to call it, seppuku-was a property right. The prop
erty of a man beheaded by the executioner was CON
|tiscated, whereas one committing seppuku could
leave his estate to his family.
Think OF a man having started life as a coun-
try boy under conditions such as these and now, at

THE THREsH1NG SEASON.

hreshlng machines are beginning to hum all
over the northwest. In some sections the grain
yields are good. In others they are Disappointing,
and in these latter localities there will be missed
some of the atmosphere which additionally charac-
terlzes the season. But everywhere there is a pc
culiar fascination about the work which rounds out
the season and places in the hands Of the farmer the
actual result of his months of labor.
Our athreshihg begins while the days are yet
hot, and the nights are apt for a time to be warm.
The days are still long and the sun far from the
equinoxial line. On a still day the hum Of the
thresher can be heard for miles, and in the height
OF the season the -air seems to be filled with this
sound, as the dronc Of one machine mingles with
that of another. 1t is a busy time, and the work
makes great demands on all concerned INIT.
The modern ~threshing outfit is a very different
thing from that of a generation ago. The steam
engine, and more recently the gas engine supplies
the power. The feeding is done mechanically, and
the straw is blown out of a great spout which re-
auires scarcely any attention. Grain is automatic
ally weighed and delivered in a great stream in the
wagon.
Once the power plant 81 a threshing rig was a
picturesque thing. It was a great capstan-like af-
TAR, with enormous sweeps to which ten, twelve or
center Of this collection Of horsepower stood the
driver with his long whip which he cracked from
morning until night as he shouted encouragement
or objrrggation at the circling horses. The small
boy ct those days had many heroes, and of these
/ the horsepower driver was one of the greatest.
Then there was the feeder, the man who gath
cred the sheaves from the band cutters on either
side, and, with a rhythmieaI swaying motion from
!, .dde to side, distributed his bundles evenly and kept
I lhe nav Of the monster full. He had a mans lob.
] and he, too, was a hero.
Pity the unfortunate whose place was on the
straw stack, right under the carrierl Clouds and
4 darkness encornpassed him. Dust clogged every
{ minute tube in his lungs. Chaff showered upon him
md barley boards got under his clothing and tray-
I Ned the length Of his person. IF ever there was a
I JOB TO make a pessfmist of a man the job under the
1 carrier was one. And yet even that unfortunate
1 seemed to enjoy %threshing and to make 4 sport of it.
The professional thresher then was much like
4 his modern successor. At the close of every sea
! son he -declared that he would never thresh again.
But the thing got into his blood, and the confirmed
thrcsher was seldom able to quit. Threshing is a
contest of man against matter, in which the man
can WIN only if he does his utmost, and it is probably
ffor that reason that it gets such a grip on men who
41cxve the excitement of doing something that calls
for everything they have in them.

A PRETTY CHEAP BLUFF.

ne qnesuon OF the immunity OF the governor
o. = state from arrest is new in American politics.
Governor Small, of Illinois, has raised the question,
and IN doing so he has done a lot of cheap bluffing
which does not tend to strengthen the presumption
I 81 innocence which is supposed, at least in law, to
S~ftach to an accused person.
Governor Small is accused Of the deliberate
misrepresentation of large sums of state money dur
ing the time when, as treasurer Of the state, he had
charge Of the states funds. He has been indicted,
and ne maintains that he cannot legally be arrested
Aof the state, he is not subject to any other state au-
sathority. nacertain moods he has maintained that
NJ was his duty to assert this immunity in order that
3the rights OF all governors at all times may be Sc
acure and may not be adversely affected by any pre-
acedent which he may establish. In another frar3e
3of mind he declares that the purpose Of those who
seek his arrest is to interrupt him in his service to
Pre- people, and that the interests Of the people are
3so dear to him that he cannot submit to arrest be-
cause that would deprive the dear people OF. his

MODERN VERSION

n OPS IN Fairmont declare that the old woman
~ who lived in shoe had nothing on them when
i comes to looking after million, more or less,
youngsters during their arrival and dismissal from
school. The police claim that they ought to have
eyes all around in order to adequately watch the
young hopehls committed to their care at the cross
ings.
Many amusing incidents are reported There are
dozens of children who are brought up with the idea
that the police are deadly enemies, and to be feared
accordingly. Some little tads would cheerfully Be run
down by the largest truck in town rather than pass in
the immediate proximity Of policeman. For instance if
Johnny has failed TO wash his ears befope starting to
school he may be haunted by firm conviction that
the police are after him for his delinquency. Johnny
accordingly. will be exceedingly wary of his blue
coated protector on the school corner.
A painful order attends the dismissal of the young
sers since the cop holds forth There are vastly fewer
encounters amongst the beigerent. and fewer quaes
are settled on the spot than has been customary notice
able Young ladies of tender years are not annoyed
by rude attentions. which really marks of popular
y and which secretly please, no matter how loud the
feminine protests 1t is safe to assume that the school
cops have TIER hands FULL and if the citizens expect
r present police force to protect the children. direct
he city traffic. keep the city ORDER they had better
ote that each policeman be twins, otherwise some Of
these duties going to suffer for lack of attention.
