Protestations by leading statesmen have failed to convince the world her policies are actuated by unselfishness or that her es possess the quality of sincerity. The civilization of a race or an era is judged by the , respect and consideration in which its women are ; and measured by this standard, Japan is among the progressive of the peoples of the world. What in recognition and encouragement from time im- rial, and in large cities extensive areas are devoted the sequestration of women living lives of shame. Travelers, missionaries and other American and Euro- residents in Japan almost unanimously have attributed Japanese womanhood in general qualities of refinement ied to the men of Japan; and it is possible that ‘Material achievements of the latter during the last 50 May receive thru the new awakening of the the spiritual a needed to raise them from plane of national self-seeking to the higher status of ous contributions to world progress, But upon this development it is not safe to count too nople after they had held the city for 60 years, On July 2, in 1593, Henry IV. of France formally abjured his Protestant creed at the Church of St Denis before a conference of Catholic and Protestant divines and embraced the Catholic faith, thereby ef. fecting a religious pac and a political reconciliation between the king and the great majority of his sub- Jects. Henry of Navarre, the first of the Bourbons, had been born and trained a Huguenot in the reformed faith. His predecessor, Henry IIL, had been assassi- nated by a monk for not being a sufficiently strong upholder of the church of Rome, and” when Henry IV, came to the throne the country was rent with religious strife and a Huguenot king would have still further divided France, as the Protestants were very much in the minority, Henry's conversion to Catholi. cism may have been made largely thru a patriotic desire to save France from civil and religious wars and bring about greater national unity, On July #, in 1814, the battle of Lunday’s Lane, near Niagara Falls, took place. The engagement was fought on the Canadian side. General Jacob Brown, in command of 3,000 Americans, opposed General Sir George Drummond, commanding the British forces of 4,500 men. Victory was claimed by both sides, altho the British took possession of the battle field, The British loeses, however, was greater than those of ‘the Americans. The British lost 875 in killed, wounded and missing, the Americans 850. These losses made this battle, which was otherwise of slight importance, one of the bloodiest of the war of 1812.

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Seventh and Spring ET’S THANK GOD FOR THE MEN WHO SEE THRU _ | THE SHAMS OF LIFE| BY THE REV. CHARLES STELZLE Staff Writer on Religious Topics for The Star Jeremiah has been called “the weeping prophet” be- cause he continued to point out the low moral con ditions of the people, prophesying calamity, even tho their religious ceremonies probably eclipsed everything that had@ ever taken place in all their history, He became impatient when they reminded him of their ecclesiastical observance—which were mere sham he said, and they in turn hated him and shut him up because he became so insistent in his denuncia- tions. But Jeremiah was in the poritfon that at least some prophets of today find themselvee—they are ostracised because they will not accept the philosophy} that “all's well with the world.” They cannot see that the world is safe when we're in the throes of a great moral and ethical conflict. They find themselves unable to go with the crowd that cries “Peace, peace,” when there is no peace— the crowd that wants peace at any price just so that they will be comfortable and remain undisturbed. It isn't very popular to be a Jeremiah—but It’s worse to see your people go down to defeat—as Jere. miah did, because they would not listen to him. It requires courage to sound the warning note when everything seems prosperous and jubilant—but let’s thank God for the men who see thru the shams of life and who can point us to the road that leads to safety, even tho that road must be traveled in re- a || (Copyright, 1919, John Quiggan, whose address is 18 Jacob st., New York City, is one of several thou- sand people in the U.

Democracy is right, because it aims that the people shall get the kind of Government they want. But Democracy breaks down, because we have always overlooked a vital important Psychological Fact; and because of over- 4\looking this, the people have been cheated, and have not got what they want. That Fact is: That when the number of jhuman beings in a group exceeds 10 or a dozen it becomes incapable of thought, it jloses its intelligence, it ceases to be ra- ‘tional, it becomes a mob. “One white man and one black man on a friends. Five would fraternize. Twenty would separate. Fifty would fight.” This explains many things. The Political Party, for one.

Professional politi- cal bosses hate the Short Ballot, because when the ballot is long the voters are con- fused and the boss can control them. “The public does not have its will,” under the present system, asserts Quiggan. “It simply nts to the will of a party com- mittee whose personnel is unknown, and for a man who is merely a name. The average citizen has no real choice. Mass elections are simply a method of keeping up an il- lusion, Political parties are necessary tq that method,” ‘ Thus we have light upon the grand | scheme by which Democracy has failed, in- | sofar as it has failed.
