Japan and Democracy.

fifty THOUSAND persons in two days filed
i into the japanese Diet through the police
lines pleading for manhood suffrage.
This demonstration, coupled with the demands
on the floor of the Diet and r-al fights in
that dignifed legislature, has conferred on Japan
the attention of students of democratic institutions
Will the leaders of Japan listen to the ever-in-
creasing demand OF the people for extension of
suffrage?
The popular conception of the Japanese people
as a patient, patriotic and ever-obedient citzenry
willing to accept without questioning the COM
mands of military caste, has suffered somewhat
of shock in the last few days. News of dis
orders, Of unrest, Of discomfort with economic
and political conditions in Japan have indicated
to the world that the seeds of democracy-even
of "a iicalism-have found by no means a sterile
ground there.
And even members of hereditary upper classes
in Nippon, resenting demands of the masses for a
greater voice in their government, beginning to
wonder whether it would not be the better part
of wisdom to make some concessions to the
demands of the people for more democracy.
That strong instinct of patriotism in the
Japanese people is not made more glowing flame
by an utter disregard for the peoples wishes,
thoughtful leaders saying.
Pleas for manhood suffrage literally signed in
the blood of the petitioners startle the most
thoughtess of "overlords" to thinking.
And thinking may result in the characterization
OF Japan.

Fair Play, Gentlemen!

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
Appropos the sensational articles
appearing almost daily, relative to
Mrs. N. L. Baggett. in connection
with the divorce cases at Aexan-
dria, Va. The writer has known
Mrs Baggett through the past
thirty-five years. and is. therefore,
in a position to know her most in
timately., 1 would ask the public to
reserve judgment in her case until
such time as it may require to
prove her to be guilty. Mrs. Bag
gett lost her parents when she was
a little girl, her husband died leav-
ing her with two children (boys).
both, of whom were under S years
of age. 1 have seen the struggle
she has made through the past
twenty years in her efforts to keep
her children with her, and to give
them a good Christian bringing up.
4 have known her to go through
severe winters with shoes needing
repair, and also have known her to
need food and medical attention, and
to have to deprive herself of erea-
ture comfort and necessities in or
der to feed, clothe and educate her
two boys. You, who condemn one
who has yet to be proven guilty of
anv wrong. do you know what the
