M'DUFF|E ACCEPTS
OXFORD PROPOSAL
Henderson Man Becomes
Sales Supervisor There
on August

J. r. McDuffie, fertilizer salesman
of this city, who for the past two sea-
sons, 1896 and 1885, was sales SUPER
visor of the Henderson tobacco mar
ket, today accepted an urgent appeal
from the Oxford Tobacco Board of
Trade to become supervisor of sales
at that market he announced here.
The offer was made to Mr.. Nc
Duffie several weeks ago, and consent
of his company to undertake the
duties during the off-season for the
fertilizer business was obtained de-
finitely today, whereupon he accept
ed the duties rendered. Mr.. McDuffie
was succeeded here by r. w. McFar-
land, who was engaged by the sales
committee of the Henderson Toe acco
Board of Trade a month ago.
The Henderson man will begin his
duties for the Oxford market as of
August 1 and will be there until the
close of the market for the Christ
mas holidays.
At Oxford, the new sales supervisor
will have about the same number of
warehouses as are in prospect for
Henderson for the coming season.
Each is to have nine houses, it is I'M
derstood.
During his services with the Hen
derson market, Mr.. McDuffie saw
sales here for the 1885 season of a.
261,4 44 pounds for $5,O55, O54.O1 at an
average of $2O.84 per hundred pounds,
and for the 1886 season of 21,O98, $50
pounds for 1922, 28O9O at an average
of $24.8O per hundred pounds. The
sharp decline in the volume of the
crop last year accounted for the
slump in gross sales here.

and navy and the civil government,
the cabinet. Cabinets have been made
and broken by the defense services.
The heads Of the army and navy have
direct access to the Emperor. In his
name they exercise "the supreme
command" = far weightier authority
than that OF the cabinet. In recent
years at least Japanese foreign minis
ters have been used chiefly for un-
snarling the international tangles in
to which military direction of imperial
policy involves the realm.
Conflict Influences History.
Conflict between the army and the
political government often has
changed the course OF japanese his
tory. The army's traditional inde-
pendence Of the civil government
brought on the conquest of Man
churia and establishment Of the pup
pet state Of Manchukuo.
Probably much the same thing has
happened in the present conflict with
China. The Toxic cabinet talked of
a quick peace; tried to localize the
fighting. But the army had other
ideas and is putting them into ef-
feet, dragging the government in its
wake along path of military ad-
venture
Whatever may be proved about re-
sponsibility for the Panay bombing
and attacks on other foreign ships,
only the army and navy were in
volved.
Cabinet Picks Up Pieces.
Even hostile critics have abstained
from suggesting the japanese cabinet
ordered or knew of the Panay attack
The cabinets job is to make the apol-
ogies and pick up the broken pieces.
Emperor Hirohito. therefore, is
brought into the situation because
even indirect excuses from him would
be SO unusual as to carry the greatest
possible weight.
Any expression Of regret from him
probably would be in the third person
through the minister OF the imperial
household and then through the for
eign ministry, but it would be without
recent precedent. The Emperor sends
sympathy in sorrow and congratula-
tions in joy to other rulers, but to
apologize publicly for his country's act
would be new.

There was no doubt regarding the

Corporate Control" Hit.
The board declared its investiga-
tions indicate that the tax program
in effect this year. embodying a 25-
cent increase in the real estate and
tangible property rate and the busi-
ness privilege tax, had resulted in un-
fair increases to large numbers OF
citizens.
General sales taxes in effect in
other States have proved effective
revenue measures and have served
to distribute the tax burden widely,
the board said, pointing out that a
study of all other sales tax laws and
the probable revenue they would
bring in in Washington is now in
progress.

But the Emperor's rule is by remote
control. His actual participation in
government is less, perhaps, even than
that OF the King Of England. In
theory he selects premiers; actually
he has almost no voice in their selec-
ton. The premier is responsible to
him, but the Emperors participation
in affairs normally is limited to hear
ing routine reports Of his ministers
The army and navy are under his
command; he declares war and makes
peace, but history shows that the de-
tense services do much of their own
thinking and acting. Not for years
probably not since the death OF the
Great Emperor Meiji in l9I2-has a
japanese Emperor attempted to swerve
imperial policy from the lines marked
out by his ministers or the still more
powerful chiefs Of the army and navy.
His aloofness undoubtedly is a factor
in the unquestioned supremacy of his
position. the awe and veneration in
which his 100000 subjects hold

Bombs Shatter Emberor's Isolation
Hrohto Apology to Direct Protest by Roosevelt Would
Unprecedented.

BY the Associated Press.
JAPANESE aerial bombs shattered
more than the United States
e., gunboat Panay when they sank
- that little warship and killed
and wounded neutrals last Sunday.
They shattered the traditional in
visible barrier that normally keeps
Japan's Emperor Hirohito on q plane
far above the ordinary business Of
government. religious patriotic SYM
Dol rather than the earthly admins
trative head of his people.
That is why unusual" describes the
action of Premier Prince Fumimaro
Konoye in presenting the Panay crisis
to the sovereign in detail. If the EN-
peror were to make some public ex-
preston on the affair, in response to
President Roosevelt's memorandum. it
would be without precedent in Japan's
recent history.
Should the Emperor be placed in
the position of apologizing for their
error, it would have undoubtedly a
SOLDERING effect on the army and navy.
Cites Relations in Speech.
In the formal address from the
throne with which the Emperor opens
sessions of Parliament he usually re-
fers to his cordial relations with other
powers, but that is as far as he nor
mally goes with respect to Japans
foreign affairs.
The orthodox Japanese belief is that
the Emperor is the supreme ruler of
the empire, in a sense that no other
sovereign is supreme. He is the re-
ligious, military and civil head of the
state. Japan is governed by a con-
Stitution, but that charter was the
gift OF the Emperor to his people and,
IN theory, at least, can be revoked by
him at any time.
The Emperor, Son of Heaven, is con-
sldered divine, descended from the
Sun Goddess Amaterasu in the cline
unbroken for ages eternal" He is not
crowned; there is no japanese pontiff
to place a crown on his head. He
merely ascends the august high seat
on his accession japanese believe
their empire was founded in $50 BIC.
The same dynasty, in which Hirohito
Is the 124th sovereign, always has
reigned, too sacred even to have q
family name
