;V; ' .. Car, Shortage. -j ' ;
JThree prime causes ajfe cited by
those predicting a scripus freight car
Rhortagtf this autumnlack of suffi
cient coal .as a result o(. trouble at
the ..mines, deteriorated rolling
stock occasioned by shop strikes and
the unusually heavy demands of
traffic due largely, to. immense
crops. Another cause might be
Given," namely, the 'cbm'mbh practice
of withholding large hUhlbers of cars
from active use. This :1a done ex
tenslvely by dilatory shippers, who
have a habit of appropriating cars
for storage purposes,' taking their
own time to unload them. Cars
often stand for days on a siding
when they should and could as easily
be promptly emptied and ..sent di
rectly back into service. This is an
lmpositlonr In a. way, on the ; rail
roads, and yet It would seem that
the railroads coald, if they , would,
put a stop to It.
But we are quite accustomed to
this annual autumnal car shortage
scare and this year the enormous
crop harvests Help us, as frequently
before ,to bear up under the weight
of. the hardship. Yet It is to be
hoped that the predictions of the
scarcity of cars has been overdrawn,
for It would be too bad to levy any
extraneous impositions upon the
products of our labor in field and
factory now.
Democrats and Labor.
The democrats have determined
upon a special effort to get the labor
yp,te In J be presen campaign. t-vThey
ic yiumse in meir piauorra piat
nudes and pledges they promise to
create a department of labor as a
cabinet office and have a bill for
that purpose now pending.
This new-born concern for labor
must be very interesting to' the lat
ter, especially since It avoids entirely
mention of child labor laws, for
which the unions are so Insistently
clamoring. But it would be highly
Inconsistent for the democacy, with
Its cornerstone In the southern
states, to . condemn child . labor,
which forms the principal cog In the
pivotal industry of the Bouth, Its
cotton mills.
When the American Federation of
Labor was meeting In Atlanta, Hoke
Smith, how senator from Georgia,
poured out his panegryrics within
hearing of the busy hum of these cot
ton mills where little children, were
tolling long , houra under miserable
conditions for a pittance. And the
painful knowledge of this dulled all
ears to Mr. Smith's fervent concern
forlabor. So it will be, we imagine,
when democracy comes to make a
sham fight, ignoring these poor lit
tle serfs In the cotton mills of the
south, whose "case constitutes one of
the vital elements of the labor prob
lem of today.
Individual Efficiency.
The benefits of the agitation for
higher efficiency in social and in
dustrial realmB must, be. measured by
the number of Individuals aroused,
for the Individual, of course, is the
unit of action. And' It will not do
to leave the work of arousing the
individual .entirely to the moral in
fluence of the movement.
It Is safe to say that most of us
operate on a basis somewhat short of
100 per cent. The average individual
does not produce up to the maximum
of his ability, although the causoi
of this differs with different persons.
With some, it la indolence,' with
others, ignorance, vanity,-dishonesty
or lack of proper training, The dis
covery of the cause must, in most
cases, be left for the Individual. All
outside influence can hope to do is to
Inspire a determination to make the
discovery.
1 But what, a .prolific ' world . of
achievements this ' would be with
every individual making his pow
ers' serve bim and his fellows
to their utmost! Perhaps the re
sults would overrun us. But that
will not become a dire consequence
for a long while, long enough to al
low for all the energy that may be
expended In this task of arousing
the latent ambition and resources.
The people of New York can
clean up their city, however, when
ever they determine to do It.

ascended the,, throne ninety-seven ..years
after Romulus founded the city of Rome,
if we may accept Roman and Japanese
traditions. From that day to this his
descendants. In unbroken succession have
ruled over the. Land of the Rising Sun.
Mutsuhlto, who died in th early morning
of July 30. was the 121st of the Imperial
line. He was born In Kyoto November 3,
1SB0. In a pretty villa, near the gate of a
park adjoining the palace grounds and
now within a stone's throw of Doshisha
university, the greatest Christian institu
tion of higher' learning in 'the Far East.
The house was pointed out to me when I
was there last October, but visitors are
not allowed to enter It. .
It was my great privilege to be pre
sented to this man. who though the
"Son of Heaven." voluntarily gave his
people self-government without a revolu

Our Invitation came to us through the

was made the capital, It has been con
stantly used as the home of the emperor.
Before It Is an extensive stretch of turf,
which occupies the area between the sec

crossed the- bridge that brought us . to
this space without being detained by the
guards, the embassy livery evidently be
ing a sufficient passport. After passing
through the double hedge known as
Nlshi Bashl and driving for a minute or
two through the beautifully kept grounds.
we arrived At the front entrance of the
Imperial residence. The - canon of Jap
anese architecture as well as art Is the
elegance of simplicity. Consequently we
were not surprised to find the palace a
very broad and long one-story building,
furnisned i simply vliufc In the most ex
quisite Japanese taste:, .

at the appointed second the ladles were
taken to the audience room of the em
press, and Mr. Russell and I to that of
the emperor. The halls of all Japaense
houses are next to. the outer walls and
the various rooms open Into the halls.
Consequently the hallB are light and the
roome .are dark. , Aa we approached the
dark threshold of the audience room we
halted, and then, at the proper signal,
Mr. Rusnell walked In with the charge.
They gave us esch the honor ot a sepa
rate audience Instead of having us both
go in , together. . I had ' hardly time to
look out of the window of the hall upon
a lovely bit ot typical Japanese garden
landscape when I saw Mr. Russell back
ing out of the- room. The gentleman at
my sldo whispered "Proceed." ,'
As I entered the august presence I saw
his ma Jetty standing In the center of a
group of seven 6t eight men. He held
his hand out toward me. as If he ex

I was coached, however, to make three

austere. But no one could fall to be Im
pressed with hla penetrating eyes and his
supreme and majestic dignity.
Without a smile of welcome, such as
all Japanese usually employ at a greet
ing, he turned quietly to th gentleman
On his right. Count Nagasaki and asked
In a low, quiet voice In Japanese, how
long I' bad been in Japan. After, this
was translated to me and I had replied
and it was translated again to the em
peror, he inquired If I had seen any en
joyable sights in Japan.
I replied that I had seen many. He
then asked where I was going after I
left Japan. And after he heard my re
ply he put out his hand again as a sign
that the audience was ended. I shook it
and then backed out of the room, bowing
thrice, as when I entered. It seemed as
if I had hardly been In his presence two
minutes.
We were then conducted to the em
press' audience chamber, and went
through exactly the same ceremony, the
three, quest.ons asked by the empress be
ing the same as those asked by the em
peror. 1 have since been told that the
same questions are generally asked all
persons Who receive the Imperial audi
ences. '''"'
After being escorted back to the wait
ing room for a few minutes, we wero
taken to the entrance room, where we
signed our names In the guest books of
the emperOr and empress, and then took
our carriages and went home.
We saw the emperor again on his
birthday, November 3, while he was re
viewing the Imperial troops. After all
the crowd was assembled, t'iie bam!
struck up the wonderfully impressive
national air. and he was diiven into the
vast parade ground In a gold, green and
red ' lacquered carriage drawn by two
superb sorrel coach horses. He sat on
the back seat, while one gentleman of
the court sat opposite him. He was
driven around the entire hollow square
In front of his troops, and then took, a
position In front of a pavilion, while the
troops marched by between him and the
band. His face was immovable and
showed no sign of recognition of the
crowd. In former times the face of the
emperor would have been veiled from his
subjects.
The crown prince was there, too. He
is a slight, delicate-looking young man,
quite blond for a Japanese. Neither the
empress nor any ladles of the court were
present at the review; but we caught a
glimpse of her majesty once again at the
palace gate when she was returning
home from the opening of some hospital
or charity. The car tracks that her car
riage had to cross were covered with
earth, so as not to bump her carriage.
As she rode by in the center of a
cavalcade of horsemen and carriages the
people uncovered their heads, but uttered
no cheer, as that was not permissible, as
in olden times.

forecast the result in November it should
not be overlooked that there is a large
element of sober, thoughtful, conservative
democrats who can find nothing in Wil

men will vote for Taft conscious that
such a vote is to the best interests of
the country. ' ' ".

SUMMER BAYS.
Baltimore Sun.
Lying on the velvet grass.
Watching lasy cloudlets pass.
In the summer days.
Softest sephyrs come and to,
Perfume laden, breathing low,
; Wafting: .harvest lays.
Faintly now the reaper's whirr
Strikes upon my sluggish ear ;
From the golden field;
Overhead the branches green.
Sifting sunbeams down between,
Light and darknesa yield.
Background of the deepest blue;
Shadows sometimes falling through,
Picture quaint and rare.
Hum of bee and song Of bird
Tinkling bell df grazing herd,
Beat the drowsy air.
" 1
Cooling breeae and limped stream,
Lulling Into midday dream,
Bringing perfect rest.
Now the sun is sinking low,
Shadows to the eastward grow;
Crimson is the west.
Mountain peaks In sunset flame,
Putting earthly fires to Shame,
Fill the daszled eye;
See. the sky Is In a blaze!
Thus the splendid summer days
All In glory die.
