ToKo, Japan. Oct 22. (By Mail.)
An interesting editorial indicating
how the league of nations has
moved the Japanese and how the
"divine attributes' of the mikado
are considered to fit the royal fam
ily as leaders of the league appeared
here in the "NirokuJ"
The translation reads: "The im
perial family of Japan is as worthy
of respect as is God and is the' em
bodiment of - benevolence and jus
tice.. The imperial family of Japan
is parenl not only over 60,000,000
people, -but of all mankind on earth.
In the eyes of the imperial family
all races are but one and the same.
It stands above all' racial considera
tions. Aol human disputes, there
fore, may be settled in accordance
with its . immaculate justice. The
league of nations, which is proposed
to save mankind from war, can only
attain its real object by placing the
imperial family of Japan at its head.
To attain its object the league
must have strong punitive force
of superior national and superior
racial character and this force can
only be found in the imperial family
of Japan." . , '
Being a Professor Is Now
Called Expensive Luxury
Br Vnt-enal Bcrvtoe.
Cambridge, Mass., Oct 2S-We
most face the fact that, being a pro
fessor in Harvard university, or else
where, is becoming an expensive
and difficult luxury," declared C H.
Haskins, professor of history and
dean of the graduate school of arts
and sciences of Harvard university,
who recently returned from France,
where he was a special adviser to
President Wilson at the peace con
ference. .
"The man of means can afford to
be a professor at Harvard: the un
married man can afford to be a pro
fessor itill; but the man with a fam
ily, or dependents, who has his way
tto make in the world, is finding it
increasingly difficutt to live as a
professor in Harvard and other col
leges of the country."

New-Fangled Ideas of
Lumberjacks Shut Camps
Prince Rupert, B. C, Oct 25.
Gone are the days of the old-fashioned
lumberjack. W.' H. Higgins,
one of the oldest, logging operators
in British Columbia, ; has . closed
down because of the new-fangled
ideas that have turned ancient tra
dition topsy-turvy among nis work
men. "What do you suppose those lum
berjacks of mine wanted?" he said.
"They had as good grub and bunk
houses as there are in British Co
lumbia, but that' wasn't enough.
They sent a delegation to wait on
me. - v .
'The men are dissatisfied,' said
the spokesman. . 'You see this is the
new era for the working man. We
ain't got no kick on the grub, but
we don't like our quarters.'
fWhat do yon want changed?"
S '-WelV says he. We think we
ought to have shower and plunge
baths, brass bedsteads, box springs
and hair mattresses to sleep on.'
"Anything else?" I asks.
1" 'Yes, says he. - 'There's one
other thing. We feel that in this
new era we ought to have a change
of bed sheets every day.
"That settled it," concluded Mr.
Higgins. "I might have stood for
the shower baths and the brass bed
steads, but the fresh sheets every
day were the last straw. I closed
down my camp on the spot and it'll
stay closed down till those lumber
jacks come back to horse sense.
