POPULAR RULE IN JAPAN. <
AH this war talk about Japan
is loss important—in view of the
fact that there is only the re
motest possibility of trouble—
than the change that is in pro
gress in the Mikado’s country
leading to popular government.
With the recent downfall of the
Katsura ministry the Japanese
people have been holding meet
ings, voicing their wishes and de
mands, and have' succeeded in
having a long step taken toward
the establishment of representa
tive government.
While matters are still very
much in a state of flux under the
compromise Yamamoto Ministry,
it seems certain that Japan is
soon to have ministries responsi
ble to the House of representa
tives and thus to the people, on
the British plan. According to
the Tokio correspondent of the
London Times, this significant
and impending change is a mat
ter of only one or two years at
most.
It, is really economic pressure
that has caused the popular
awakening. The Japanese people
ar<j staggering under perhaps the
heaviest load of taxation a people
ever carried. They have carried
it patiently and patriotically, so
as to insure Japan her place
among the great powers of the
world. But the military bureau
cracy that lias ruled Japan now
proposes new expenditures and
heavier armament. The popular
revolt is the answer, ami the de
mand for a really representative
and responsible government is
becoming too insislent to be re
fused.
Incidentally I here is nolliing in
all Ibis In give I lie United States
a single iiioineiil of uneasiness.
THE REAL VICE PROBLEM.
Vice invesigalors iii the East
have proved llial low wages and
dance halls are the chief causes
of dclimpicnry among girls in
their ’teens.
That was no new discovery, nor
was it ball' si important as the
figures which were submilled to
prove Ibal alter I hey make their
first misslep. lew girls ever turn
hack.
Society doesn't give llifiu a
chance lo turn back. II refuses
to lake (liein back. II pushes
them oil.
While Ibe v ilre investigators
are uncovering the conditions
that put a premium on wrong
living, I hey ought to lake time lo
call attention In Hie social con
ditions that deny a chance to the
girl who wauls to begin lo live
right.
X lit* filll \VI|M II 1 a x\ V a lllioi/uno
and wants In live it down is not
a very serious menace to soci
ety, but society is a very serious
menac - to her.
It turns its back upon her.
It, compels her to become a so
cial danger, by refusing to help
her to become anything else.
There are thousands of girls
who, like the Jacqueline of Alex
ander Bisson, are sorry and want
to turn back. But society lashes
them; sneers at them; jeers at
them.
A social worker ill Chicago held
'up his hands in holy horror a^l
the vice inquiry the other day and
wanted to know:
“What are we going to do with
these girls that have gone wrong;
We cannot lake them back.”
He did not ask: How can we
help them?
He merely wanted to tell them
how bad they were and then let
them bear their burden alone.
if we are going to put an end
to the influences that lead to the
first misstep, we must also pre
vent the second and third mis
step by giving back hope to the
sorry Jacqueline—hope and a
chance to find a way to enjoy life.
There are many people who will
pet a dog and kick a fallen wo
man.
They will tie a satin ribbon
around the neck of a favorite cat
and draw their skirts around them
when they pass Jacqueline in the
street.
They expose the mistakes of
little girls whom poverty has op
pressed and dance halls and un
scrupulous men ensnared.
But they slop when they are
asked lo help the same girls lo
get hack.
II is an odd code of morals that
destroys hope.
II is an odd Christian faith that
forgets that Christ was called the
Redeemer.
The word “redemption” sprang
up when ancient warriors began
to lead hostages from the battle
fields.
To kill these prisoners was not
a profitable method of disposing
of |hem. Rich families were rea
dy lo give camels and goals for
their release.
We hear Job giving voice to
his faith that his Redeemer liv
eth and will buy him from his
raptors.
Jn the galleries of Europe there
is often seen a beautiful picture
of Magdalen reading. She had
been redeemed.
Wlhen some unseen hand drew
hack for St. John the curtain of
heaven he saw in one happy Held,
one hundred, and forty thousand
of the redeemed.
Today it js not the fashion lo
give goals or camels to redeem
young girls. Instead, many men
are accumulating riches by
throwing, open I he doors of vice
to them.
Instead of giving money for
their redemption, they are taking
money in aid of their destruction.
And these men—many of them
--today are' making the loudest
cry against the nation-wide
movement to help the Jacque
lines.
The women of Washington are
iii advance of the women of many
other states. And it would be a
splendid work if they would ini
tiate some movement to give a
chance to I he sorry girls who
want lo get back.—Seattle Sun.
The Juneau city council have
purchased a rock crushing plant,
and intend to do away with.the
expensive plank streets and coa
struct, rock paved streets instead.
