I WOMAN SUFFRAGE
SmRINGJAPAN
Supporters of Movement Glee
ful Over Vote in Muni
cipal Elections.
QUESTION PROPOUNDED
Dignified and Womanly Liber
ty Just But Country Not j
Ready for Move.
Toklo Dc. 27. The constant dls
cussion in Japanese newspapers and
magazines of the question of women's
rights and woman suffrage serves as
n striking example of the rapidity with
which western thought and western
idea are being assimilated in .Japan.
Today th? supporters of the wom
en's rights movement arc gleeful over!
the fact that two women millionaires j
of Tokio have won the right to vote ,
af'municlpal and ward elections. The h
municipal regulations grant the right I
of suffrage to any subject of the Jap- j
anese empire paying a larger amount
of direct city taxes than that paid by 5
any of the three highest tax-paying
mal miblects over 2o vears of a;re The i f
I woman suffrage advocates eont. tided
that this clause permits women to vote
if their property qualifications were
sufficient, and the home office upheld
the contention.
An important monthly magazine has
placed a set of questions before not- d
Japanese women on the future of the
sex in Japan, propoundinc such quer
ies as what can be done to Improve
the condition of the Japanese women,
requesting opinions as to the suffrage
movement in the west, as well as the
question of social Independr-nco and
in a general way the growing tendency
of woman to demand the same rights
as man.
A summary of the replies indicates
an opinion that Japan is not yet ripe
for the suffrage movement. As the
stress of living grows keener, the
number of spinsters, toe writers Bay,
will increase in the east as in the
west. When that time comes the
women here may with Justice claim an
enactment of the same law for women
as for men. Mrs Haru Hatoyama
says "Such a tendencv may be avert
ed In Japan If women foster such na
tional virtues as chastity, faithfulness,
industry, thrift, patience and simpllcl-1
ty."
No two opinions are expressed,
however on the advisability or jus-'
tice of greater liberty.-ror womankind
in eeneral The time has arrived, all
writers agree, for a concerted action '
in behalf of a dignified and womanlv
liberty.
Some women are outspoken and oth-
pr are reserved. One writes: "Small,
- helpless things are the Japanese worn
en of today Before talking of givlns
them the suffrage, they should be giv-
(en the right of self-government at
home."
Another says: "Let ns not forcret
that the duty of a woman is to help
her husband in looking after the home
and children. Tho Independence of
woman is the noblest sense of the
phrase is to be desired, but at the
' same time the inherent spirit of self
sacrifice in woman should not be de
stroyed "
"How soon do girls pet married af
ter graduating from school9 How
many children have they in flvo years
after marriage?"
These are some of the questions
that the office of education has put to
j the girls' middle schools throughout
the country. The answers will form
practical statistics, and are expected
to be of much value to the education
al department, which is contemplating
a reform in the present system of edu

To Solve Land Question.
Enthusiasm and faith in the success
of his mission fill the Rev Kakichi
Tsunashlma, a Japanese pastor in the
Congrecmtlonal church, who has been
commissioned by his church to go to
the 1'nited States and endeavor to
help solve the California land ques
tion. His chief activity will be in
making an appeal to Americans as
Christians. He expects to sail for Am
erica December 31 on the steamer Chi
yo Maru.
Mr, Tsunashlma reasons that true
righteousness and civilization will in
due course of time be appreciated He
thinks that the question of Japanese
land ownership in California is too big
a problem to be settled in a short time,
and that it does not admit of a tern
porary solution He will try to solve
it on the broad basis of universal love
and Christian brotherhood.
In fulfilling his mission Mr Tsuna
Bhima expects to visit churches, pas-

Drilling Soldiers.
Drilling soldiers in the task of how

note of this year's big military ma

goya, according to foreign experts
who were present
Every day the purpose of the ma
neuvers sas to test the moral courage
of an army which found itself exposed
to complete annihilation, or at least, '
a ruinous onslaught from the enemy.
Detachments were sent across a field '
where artillery and quick-firinc: guns
were supposed to be mercilessly deci
mating their ranks
Everything possible was done to
show the foreign attaches the plan of;
the maneuvers and so far as could be I
