SLUMP IN FURS
 LONDON MARKET
 AFFECTS SEATTLE
GENERAL SLUMP ALL ALONG THE LINE OWING TO IN
 FERioR OFFERINGS

SEATTLE, Wn., May 22.-(P- The decline in the New York fur market in recent sales was reflect ed in the auction of the Seattle Fur Exchange, ranging from 10 to 20 per cent, J. E. Agnew, manager, an- nounced here today.
 The offerings totalled $350,O00, con- sisting principally beaver, lynx, mink, Siberian sable, red, white, blue and cross fox, marten and wolf. The col lection of inferior fur was due to the usual seasonal percentage of sprin- gy, low-grade skins. The next sale will be held June IT, when large offering of northern furs is expected following the opening of navigation.
 Red fox declined ten per cent; Al aska interior fox average as low as $22 and $25; peninsula furs, SIS and $22; coast furs, SIP and $14 While fox received the same decline, sell ing from $35 to $3S; mink from the 1 interior declining, No. 1 and 2 rang ing from s9 to $11. Cross fox sold poorly as there was no demand. Blue l fox and beaver showed up strong and demanded basis of sS5 for large, and the extra large skins with dark colors came in great demand Lynx took a ten per cent decline; marten being practically neglected during the sale. Otter sold well, the Alaskan ones in two's, dark, selling from $22 to $25. Average lots of all grades of ermine declined 20 per cent, bring s1 and SIPS, with ] $1.S0 for a top price.

JAPAN'S SUFFRAGE ACT GIVING VOTE TO 9,0O0,O0O,
 MAY AFFECT THE U.

TOXIC, May 22.-P)-When the so-called University Manhood Suf- frage bill" was passed by the 50th session of the Imperial Diet, after a stormy session which threatened the life of the present Kato administra ton, Japan took a step forward i'll democracy that political leaders here regard as unprecedented in the E:n pire's history.
 The immediate result is that every man h Japan of 2. tears o. age and over can vote, provide ht earns his own living. The only ;trirgs on the me ,sd:e are those re garding whether a man IS to bf cons;o.s,Cd a pauper or not. Tnt clause has been vs.llously trans lated, .t, is ger sially wofae.i in English al stating that all ilen q! the above age can vote, except those who are poor and without abil ity to support themselves.
 The law means that some l2,OO0, 900 male citizens of Japan can elect their representatives in the national governing body. Heretofore, only about 3,O0O,OO0 could vote, property right requirements eliminating tho other 1O.OOO,OOO, or so.
 The big question is: "What does this mean to Japan and. through changes in the government here, tc other countries that trade witf Japan?" Inasmuch as the United States is probably Japan's greatest

 And, whatever else may be true, the people of Japan feel none too kindly toward America. Immigra- tion is the answer to that. Out wardly they are courteous; but un- der their skins they feel hurt. There's no doubt about it. And with a Diet of legislators representing all the people reaction may be expected that will more clearly reflect this attitude.

WE ARE offering our congratulations

all-important day. because we'd like some
of them to read il. They won't read 1t
Commencement Day; they'll be too busy.
What with coming up TO the scratch on
that day with ones clothes just right and
all that, one hasn't any time to bother
with newspapers,
We didn't quite graduate and it is about
that that we wish to talk We kept on
going to school. i'm a manner so TO speak.
That is we didn't actually enroll in higher
and higher institutions of learning. Mat
ter of fact, we felt the way you do. We
thought we never wanted to see Il school
book again But we kept on going to
school, nevertheless,
You see, we made very impressive dis
covery Just about the time the diplomas
were to be handed out. That was that we
didn't remember nearly all the things we
had been taught in all those tireSome class
rooms. Already we had forgotten two
thirds of the knowledge that had been
crammed into our stupid mind. Looking
forward few years. we could see the
other third disappearing.
What good had it all been, if a year or
two could rub it out2
The dscovery-the answer-was that
we had learned to think. We had learned
to think for ourself - and sometimes to
think quite correctly as later events would
demonstrate. We had learned to use our
mind We had learned that nobody else
could do that for us. And we decided to
keep on using our mind, as long as we
had any to use 1t was in that sense that
we did not graduate, did not call the bust
ness of getting an education completed.
We are passing along our discovery for
what it is worth. We have found ii use
full. on the whole. When other bald heads
sigh regretfully for their long-gone school
days-'ThoSe We're the happy days. they
say-we grin among our gray whiskeis
and let EN- rave. Our own school days
aren't over. We've kept our mind free and
to that extent are still young. So we don't
have such bad time, for all you may
think to the contrary now.
One object of our school system is to
: train you to become a good citizen. II
you persist in keeping your mind free,
which can only be done by thinking, you
viii be good citizen. There's nothing any
country needs so much as lot of indie
pendent thinkers However, we didn't
start out to preach your duty to you, but
to tell you how you can be reasonably
happy. And our advice is:
Don't graduate entirely. Keep on think
ing, at least little.

The DRAGON Stirs

Il ME outbreak among the Chinese at
Shanghai is the most hopeful symp-
tom, and at the same time the most dan
gerous. that China has exhibited within
our recollection.
The dragon stirs. China is waking up.
There is nothing of Boxer fanatcism in
this movement against foreigners, either.
but rather ii is an enlightened notice
served on the world and sundry that China
has been at the wrong end of the boot
almost long enough
That is the hopeful part. The danger
ous element lies in the fact that there are
f00.000,000 Chinese and when the dragon
is fully awake ii may loose n breath of
fire and birthstone that will scorch the
world.
Two tremendous opposing forces are at
work in China. One is foreign greed. The
other is education.
Foreign interests are exploiting the
ignorant masses, driving them as brutal
master would an OK And when, as now,
enough of the workers get up enough
spunk to strike for better conditions, they
are shot down in an effort to cove them
back into submission.
The educated Chinese are trying to lead
their suffering compatriots upward out of
this degradation. Interested foreigners
are opposing every step. They call ii boil
shevism when native students tell the
ignorant Chinese they ought to fight to
better their condition.
The present trouble began with a strike
against these conditions.

to no greater crusade than TO lead the

For probably at no time in the history
of this country has bigotry and intoler-
