PREMIER TAKAHASHI, More than. the usual amount:of inter- pst has beenimanifested in the selection pf a premier for Japan as a successor to Premier Hara because of the position be has taken regarding Japanese policies &nd the bearing it might -have upon the srmament conference ,n0W In session at Washington. It would have been pos- ¥ible by the selection. of the new premier bhave undeme much that the former ler—bad_stood for - and ~to have military party. By the séleation of Baron Takahashi, however, there are strong indications that a man much after the type of Hara and in e¥mpathy with his policies has been named. IHe has been the minister of finance in the Hara cabinet, so he must be closely in touch with' Hara's —{ policles and incidentally he must be well fmpressed with the economic advantages of the naval holiday proposal that has been : advanced by Secretary Hughes for Japan has been plunging din deep into national expenditures, entering into na- val construction with the view to getting to the top and as if to ca'l a halt upon Its own Initfative' Takahashi has only recently warned of where they were heading, . Z The 'Japanese delegates to the confer- ence {were banking heavily upon such counsel as they might get from time to time from Premier Hara as the different stages of the conference were reached. He was certain to be in close touch with | them, but with the new premier a mem- ber of the same party, an advocate of Hara's policies, an advocate of greater econbmy and one in close tonch with Ja- pan’s affairs there are reasons to be- jlieve that he will admirably fit into the place from which Hara was torn so ruthlessly and continue to uphold and continue the good work that his former chief had carefully lald out and follow- ed. Certainly there 'is reason for feeling that by his appointment Japan has not taken a step backward and for the wel- fare of the country and the iInterests of the other natfons it is to be hoped that he is not being misjudged. THE WARSHIP BUILDEES. From Philadelphia comes the informa- tion that the shipbuilders are dazed by the plan. which has been put forth by Secretary Hughes for & naval holiday. It is of .course no more than was ex- pected and no different attitude than will be taken in other sections where many are employed in the production of war vessels regardless of what is entailed in connection therewith. As the public.sees it they have fed at the national cri¥ a long time, A Because of mew legislation and bBecause of changing conditions many industries have either been driven out of business or forced to greatly curtail. Inasmuch as it is through such action that there can be obtained that understanding among nations, as now seems probable, that will make war less llable and there- fore the production of such vast navies unnecessaries, it can hardly be supposed thut the fact that large establishments anl those emoloyed ih them can be al- lowed to stand In the way of what is for the much greater geod of the rest of the country. It is to be hoped if the plan goes through that such industries will {be turned into new fields, possibly to'the {production of vessels- other than war- ships quite the same as munition and other factories that were engaged In pro- ducing war supplies have ceased pro- duction in those lines and undertakéen In the way best suited to them to serve the requirements of the country other- Wise.

HARD UPHILL FIGHT. Repeated changes have been made in probibition enforcement officers for the purpose of coming more nearly to get- ting the results desired. It has been not onl- realized but repeatedly dis- closed that there was gross laxity in enforcement with some of the enforce- ment officials actually working with the violators. In addition evidence has piled {up of the extensive operations in regard to liquor .smugsgling by land and by wa- ter. a’l of which serve to increase the difficulties of those who are charged with the enforcement of the law. Neverthe- here are from time to time reports h indicate that the huge task is be- grappled with' more successfully. en though it hasn't succeeded in the open traffic and sale' of In- ants the prohibition authorities ap- pear to have quickened their efforts and to have gotten down to that much needed task of showing that the law mefns something. This is indicated by the fact that n 14 states Improved jury condl- tions havo been reported and in 19 there is a’ better cooperation shown by local officials, and only recently there has been a jeining of hands by authorities In this country and Canada to place a check upon liquor smuggling. a'l of which and more is nueded if enforcement is gotng to amount to anything and the provisions of the law carried ont EDITORIAL NOTES, Ficm now on for safety in the mail service it i8 a case of leave it to the ma- rines, While deep interest has been shown in the opening of the armament conference, more will be displayed in the finish.

C., Nov, 14.—Not long ago someone asked “how does the wife of a president. spend her time?” e an- swer might well be “She works,” for as mistress of the White house and wife of the president the first lady of the lana@ finds herself involved in a round of so- cial and official duties that cannot be shifted to other shoulders. She is the head of the socizl life of the capitaly of the greatest in the world. She must set the pace for all official enter- taining, receive all persons properly. en. titled to call on her and must be a wife, a house wife and the social arbiter at one and the same time. The wives of other presidents have had a similar course to follow, as does Mrs. Harding, except in such instances Where they were invalids and so Te- lieved from social duties by some other member of the presidential family. This was notably the case in the Me- Kinley administration, as Mrs. McKin= ley's health permitted her to assume no social responsibilities whatever. Mrs. Harding will find additional so- cial dutles falling on her this winter, owing to the presence here of many men and women from the highest diplomatic tand court circles of the world, brought here by the limitation of armaments conference. But let's take the ordinary daily rou- tine of Mrs, Harding's life, just for an ilustration. In the ‘first place Mrs. Harding continues her life long custom of getting up early and having brefk- fast with the president, long before the eves of the soclety women of the city have opened to the morning light. Breakfast over, the president goes to the executive office and Mrs. Harding to her study, on the second floor of the White house, where, assisted by her so- Miss Harlan, she goes through mail, which is sufficient in bulk to stagger a business man. But neither Mrs. Harding or Miss Harlan are stag- gered. Mrs. Harding {s a trained business woman, through her affiliation with the work of the DPresident, as editor, pub- lisher and all 'round business man, and she can quickly sift the wheat from the chaff. Miss Marlan s the daughter of the late Justice Harlan of the United States supreme court, and knows not only her secretarial duties but the ins and outs of Washington official -society as well, so they turn off the work with great speed. The letters ask for all sorts of fa- vors and offer advice and instruction as to how Mrs. Harding shall dress, act and generally deport hérself as mistress of the White house. “Will you contribute a handkerchief for our fair?’ “Will yon give us $100” for this or that charity or orgnization? She is urged to use her influence to bring about or defeat bills pending before congress. She is asked to support the birth control movement, mothered by Mrs. Sanger; she is urged to support the anti-race suic ment as fathered by the late C velt; she is urged to keep girls from powdering their noses, o ing their stockings, and likewlse to aid and abet girls in all such up to date customs. There are intimate impertinent inquir- fes as to her daily health and habits, and there are genuinely pathetic re- quests which show an overwhe!ming con- fidence of the ability of the first lady of the land to straighten out all the ills and evils to which the flesh’ of woman Is he'r. 'These, and a thousand and one other matters are thrust upon Mrs. Harding through her dafly mail The work of the morning mall fin- fshed, then cumes a series of calls from visiting organizations of women, who have made advance appointments for a certaln hour. So Mrs. Harding leaves the famfly apartments on the second floor and comes down the broad stalr- case into the official apartments of the White house, elther into the red or blue parior, just off the great state dining room. Taking her stand near the door, Mrs. Harding recelves the visitors with a cordial handshake and a word of per- sonal greeting, Mrs. Harding likes peo- ple and is interesféd in a big hearted way in the work women are doing throughout the country. She is unassist- ed in recelving such delegations, al- though one of the military alds station- ed at the White house always stands by her slde during such ceremonies. Perhaps after this there is a brief let- up, during which, if the season admits. Mrs. Harding may stroll through the fins old fashioned gar@en at the rear of the White house, which flanks the south porch, and runs down to the broad banks of the Potomac not far distant. Then comes luncheon, which the president’and usually some men of prominence or members of the caPlnet share, for the president often combines business with the noon day snack.” After the Tuesday and Friday cablnet meetings, Secretary of War Weeks, Sec- retary of the Nyvy Denby and Postmas- ter General Hays usually say “Yes, thank you, Mr, President,” to Mr. Hard- ing’s cordial suggestlon, “You had bet- ter stay to luncheon today and we can then talk it over fully.” Tn fact many of the far-reaching policles of the na- tion are discussed and determined at the simple luncheons in the state _ dining room, with Mrs. Harding sitting at the polished mahogany table, with the pres- ident opposite. After lunch the prest dent goes hack to his office and Mrs. Harding beging another round of soclal duties. More visitors come down the elm-shaded walks of the White House grounds, personal friends, Who have made appointments, drop in for a friend- Iy chat and perhaps a cup of tea; ladies of the cabinet must be received, as are those of the army and navy circles, and the wives of other officials. But all must first make appointments through Miss Harlan, And the lady of the White house gets but scant opportunity to en. joy the splendid old mansion and the gardens which sprcad from the mnofsy Pennsylvania avenue ,on the one side, to the qulet gardens on the other, over- looking ‘splashing fountains and green- sward, dewn to where the sluggish Poto- mae glitters in the sun-light. Maybe late In the afternoon’ Mrs, Harding gets a breathing spell, and takes a ride in one of the White house automobiles. or enjoys a concert down town or takes some other form of amusement - in what we may call her “hour off. . And between whiles, during this sort of daily life Mrs. Harding finds time to do- much charitable work, to do many things for the pleasure and comfort of the wounded and sick soldiers out at the ‘Walter Reed Military Hospital; to direct the housekeeplng of the executive man- sion; to recelve visiting diplomats, to keep in touch with her personal friends anq perform many varfed ani exacting dutles as wife of the chief executive of the United States. MrS. Harding has shaken hands with tens -of thousands of people and given them all a cordial welcome. She is a wonder. Her good fellowshlp and en- thusiasm- are never failing. Except on &tate occasions the presi- dent and Mrs. Harding made their din- ner a famlily affair, often asking a few personal friends to drop in and share it, giving such informal invitation over the 'phone, just as one neighbor might to another. And if thers is a-epare min- ute léft after Mre. Harding has lived up to the daily routine, she and the pres- ident’ try their, best<to-make it a normal simple home life. ’ 1 * Stories That Recall Others It Certainly Does. He was a candidate for -office and each day He was usually along a certain route. “Didn’t you tell me,” began the young man who had desperation in his eye, speaking in the low, contained tones that come between the teeth, “that you knew all about it and that the sure and certain way to win a girl like Cantata Dewber- rie was to abandon this breathless ador- ation stunt and be reckless and self-as- sertive and hugely sure of myself—regu- lar caveman stuff, so to say? Didn't you tell me that in this very room last Tues- day night?” “Of course I.did,” declared the young man with the enthusiastic eye and bee- tling brow. “The only way to make a woman adore you is to dominate her— convince her that yon dre a ruthless force bound to sweep away all her petty vacillations and uncertainties of mind and that the quicker she comes to that gonclusion the better. Is it to be an- nounced right awav?" “Listen,” proceeded the desperate young n, coming closer. “I took your word {& it because I didn’t seem to be making much headway just hanging on her every word and barking whenever 'she snapped her fingers at me. If there was any chance of winning Cantata T didn't want to overlook it. I was tired of just being counted among those pres- ent. Cantata had simply got to make up her mind—so when I went to see her that evening I began imnfedlately. “She opened the door for me, but I never stopped to take the hand she held out. I just brushed by carelessly, said ‘Hello' gruffly and hung up my hat. I could see instantly that I had attracted her attention end aroused her interest by the expression in her eves as she ol lowed me into the living room. Even that was betfer, having her trailing af- ter me instead of my meekly tagging her as I usually did. Right away I could see the subtle value of the change. I /did not beam_at her either, but threw a critical scrutifiy into my survey. I could See it made her nervous. She fidgeted and fussed at her hair, crossed her an- kles and then uncrossed them and—-' “Didn’t I tell you?” chortled the bee- tling-browed young man triumphantly. “The minute yoy begin to make your power of persohality felt—" “I disagreed with everything she sald and lald down the law on all subjects. 1 pointed out to her how™weak was the feminine mind when compared to* the Intellect of a really logical, thinking hu- man being like myself, and I was kind- 1y pitylng and condescending and indif- ferent. Contata sat up stiffer and stif- fer, and suddenly she got up, eald she had a dreadful headache and that I would have to exeuse her—whereupon I greeted ‘béfore the election with the ques- tion “Well, Bill, how's everything today?" A few days before election Bill was feeling rather self-satisfied, and said con- fidently in answer to the greetings: “Well, oys, it's astonishing how every- body is for me.” The day following election found Bill overwhelming defeated, but nevertheless he called on the boys as usual. It was embarrassing and only one old timer had the courage to say: “Well, Bill, how goes it?” Bill braced up and exclaimed, “Boys, it beat carpets how they lie.” And She Did. Martha Ann, aged three and Junlor, a little over one, were riding on the front seat of the automobile with Martha Ann's mamma, . Parental chastisement brought tears to Martha Ann's eyes and then she began to cry. Junior, & visitor for the day thought he had to follow suit and began to sniffle. Quick as a flash Martha Ann pushed her hand against Junior's face and in an excited voice sald: “Keep still, Junior, I want to cry.” oDD iNCIDENTS IN AMERICAN RISTOL® ’ B e e THE PERSECUTION OF JACOB LEISLER During the period of the twenty- four years, from the- English conquest of the New Netherlands, until the Revolution, when King James was driven from the English throne, Dem- ocratic ideas rapidly expanded in the New World, and Democratic principles worked powerfully in New York. When early in 1683 the people heard of the overthrow of the bigot James and the accession of William and Mary they appointed a committee of safety and with almost unanimous voice ap- proved the act of Jacob Leisler, the commander of the militia, in taking possession of the fort in the name of the new Protestant sovereigns. « Jacob Teisler was a native of Frankfort in Germany. He came to America in 1660 and after a brief res- idence in Albany, he became a trader in New York. When on June 2, 1889, a popular gathering asked Leisler to be their leader in the overthrow of the appointees of James II he at first refused, but finally acceded to their request and about an hour afterwards received the keys to the fort. Leisler rested for support upon the less educated classes of the Dutch. The wealthy and aristocratic element opposed him. Supported’ by his ad- herents he seized the fort. In Septem- ber, 1689, Col Henry Sloughter had been chosen to rule New York for’ the Crown. Sloughter lingered in Eng- land more than a year and then was stormswept to Bermuda, thus postpon- ing his arrival until March, 1691. Ri- chard Ingoldesby, who had sailed from England with a company of grenadiers and had been separated from Slough- ter by the storm, arrived in New York a few weeks in advance of the Governor. Leisler treated him with courtesy, but refused to give up the fort until the arrival of some person authoriz- ed to receive it. As to what took place next, the accounts differ, but there were fatal hostilities and Ingoldesby remained outside the fort. ‘When Sloughter arrived in New York, he ordered the arrest of Leéisler and his council for murder and trea- son. Leisler and Milborne refused to plead and appealed to the King. The whole movement had been the sponta- neous act of the people in the soverign capacity of self-governors. The aris- tocracy was highly offended then de- nounced Leisler as a usurper. and when Governor Sloughter arrived they re- presented the pular leader as an enemy to the King and Queen. Never was a man mgre loyal than Jacob Leisler, and never was an ac- cusation more false. On the Tth of May, 1691, Sloughter wrote that he was ‘“resolved to wait for the royal pleasure if by any other means than hanging he could keep the country qui- et,” but on the 14th he assented to the council’'s vote for execution. and the following day “the House did ap- prove of what his Excellency and coun- cil had done.” But his enemies had resolved on his destruction and succeeded. Leisler and his son-in-law, Milborne were arrested tried under a charge of treason, and condemned to death. Sloughter did not sign the death wafrant until the lead- ers of the aristocracy made him drunk at a dinner parly. He then signed the fatal instrument and before he was sober Leisler and Milborne were sus- pended upon .a gallows on the verge of Beekman's Swamp, near the spot where Tammany Hall now stands. Abrabam Gouverneur, Leisler's sece marched straight upstairs. 1 could see that I certainly had produced an effect of some sort and I hoped it was the right one—but Cantats telephoned right away to her best friend and the friend told her brother and the tfl'e:tli;l brother Cantata. For Infants, Invalids end Growing Children in days I had been able to unearth what I evidently had swallowed was beyond her. And was it unspeakable that 1 should dare call in such a fate? I was no more like my real self, she #aid, than black is like white and she never want- ed to see me again! “Now, it was all right to get her stir- red up, but I certainly couldn’t let Can- tata think it was anything less than my mere force of mind and character which had startled her,” and I rushed right argund to explain. She wouldn't see me! She sent down word in clear, dla- tinct tones, which I heard at the front door, that she wasm': home! When I telephoned ehe’'d hang up and when I wrote she returned the letters unopened and once when I bribed a messenger to hang around the fronmt door and hand her, a folded note she tore it up and box- ed his ears! “Then ¥ met her brother on the street and started to expiain to him and he told me to cut it out, and that he was In a hurry and wasn't intef€sted, and anyhow I ought to know better—so then I tried her housé again and her father let me in. I had far rather he hadn't, because just as I opened my lips to say how disturbed I was that Cantata had such a wrong impression of me the stop- cock blew off somewhere and I never dld qui® know what happened. The room seeraed with a verbal roar like Niagara and the celling and floor whirled around rapidly, or maybe I was doing the whirl- Ing—and when he had run out of breath and muscle he shot me through the front door and slammed it—and T came over here just as soon as I was well enough “—;'nd what are you going to do about “I don’t see why T should be dragged Into your affairs,” protested the beetling- browed young man somewhat nervously. “The whole trouble arose from the fact that Cantata did not react properly— undoubtedly she is an exception—" “Certainly she is an exception, you fish!” shouted the desperate young man, “or T shfldn’'t have been go anxious to- win her—and just as soon as I get my coat off I'm going to show you some cave-man stuff that'll do your soul good, consarn you !"—Exchange. —_——— retary, was condemned at the same time, but was pardoned. He afterward married the widow of Milborne, and became the ancester of the large and respectable family of Gouverneurs in °| this country and its collateral branch. Every effort had been made by his friends to save Leisler. Domine Daille presented a petition in Leislr's be- half, signed by eighteen hundred peo- ple. Leisler and Bilbourne were hang- ed. Leisler in his last address. pro- tested his devoted loyalty to the King and declared that he would have de- livered the fort to Ingoldesby if that soldier had presented his credentials. He met death calmly and bravely, Milborne was no less brave, but not 80 calm. Seeing in the crowd Robert Livingston, who had been one of the bitterest of his enemies, said to him from the scaffold: “Robert Livingston, for this I will implead thee at the bar of God.” The estates of Leisler and Mil- bourne, which had been forfeited by attainer were restored to their fami- lies. Their bodies which had been bu- ried in 1698 in the cemetery of the Reformed Dutch Church in Garden street, now PExcharge place. Four months and four days after his arriv. Governor Sloughter met death sudden- ly. The enemies of Leisler suggested that some of Leisler's adherents had bribed a negro to put poison in his coffee, but a post-mortem examination showed that his death was from nat- ural causes. READ YOUR CHARACTER By Digby Phillips, Copyrighted 1921 Fine "Writing You've often seen the handwriting which gives the page the appearance of a delicate lacework design. The strokes themselves are delicate and light and more than this, there is a marked absence of all shading. The writers of such hands not only do not shade their downstrokes, but naturally avoid all unevenness of pres- sure on the pen point.-In fact, they exert just enough pressure to make a mark. As a rule their letters are small but not exceptionally so.

Mr. Editor: Wil a world league of nations prevent war? No. Only re- generation of the human heart can do that. Will a world league of religions save the world? If the preachers would preach the pure gospel of Jesus Christ without mix- ing up with it the traditions that have come from outside sources that contra- dict the express commandments of God, and then the church people would live up to such temthing, the world would bs , and sin would fe. As long as sin lives, war will live. Jesus founded the Christian church. He founded-only one church and He said: “If Ve love me, keep my command- ments.” He Gesires only *one church. His true disciples do love Him, and His true church does keep His Command- ments, A church s not good simply because it Is a church. It is good if its members forsake their sins and keep the Commandments of God, accepting the Saviour's sacrifice for them. “Sin is the transgression of the law"— the great moral law, the Ten Command- ments of God.

These religionists proposed to go turther and not only allow their church- es to observe the humanly established Sabbath, but_they were bending every energy to foree all America to do like- wise, regardless, of the knowledge the rest of Americans might have on the Sabbath question. It was also a part of their program to mnite the church and state, despite the fearful lesson taught us on this point by the history of the middle eges. Religion is a matter that rests between man and his Creator, and God is able to vindicate His own law and has His own plan for so doing. He will deal justly with the transgressors, whether they be churchmen who attempt to change His| law,-or laymen who care naught for His law. We are our brother's keeper, but we are to encourage and Invite him to trus Bible principles, not drive him into keeping a bad tradition. Jesus did not believe in a union of church and state. He sald: “Render, therefore, unto Cac- sar the things that are Caesar’s, unto God the things that are God never appealed to the cifil law for the enforcement of any doctrine He taught. These political preachers who are try- ing to enforce Sunday laws forget that God compared Himself with a jeweler. selecting his jewels, not to a street- sweeper Who' sweeps into his trash can whatever happens to be before his broom. God's church is made up of His “jewels.” A sinner to become a “jewei” must forsake his sins and accept the Saviour's sacrifice for his sake, then by the grace-of God, live in harmony with the Divine law. God loves His crea- tures. He hates sin because of its ef- fect unon the sinner. Compare the face of a debased criminal with his own face “You Can Do No Better Than Buy Our Wurst.'

It would be possible to fill to overflow- ing all the vacant pews in the many churches, but if the people’s hearts are filled with sin and rebellion, more harm Is done to themselves and the church than If they had remained away. If einners come by Invitation, and” after hearing the word of God which stirs their hearts, are converted, the church gained and there is joy In heaven. Even though the numerical adaition be but one—it is a precious one. When sin- ners are driven into church because the civil Jaw leaves them nothing else to do, they will hate the sight of a church. Jesus desires but one church. and e descrides it as: “Here are they that keep the Commandments of- God and have the faith of Jesus” He meant that theys keep all the Commandments, in- cluding the fourth as God save It, and as it is recorded in Holy Writ. Any league of churches which fs founded upon any other basis than this ean never save ihe world. Tt is like an electric car with the current stopped. Divine power is granted only to the obe. dient. and without the power of God, the churches are Babylon—confusion—and confusion cannot save the world. TRUTH SEEKER.
