YOUNG JAP IS
DEMOCRATIC
IN HIS BELIEF
TOKIKO, Sept. 27 (by Associated
Press).—The liberalistic tendencies
of the speeches in this year’s session
of the diet has been a distinct feature
of constitutional development in Jap
an. The leader of the movement is a
young representative named Ryutaro
Nagai whose boldness of word has at
tracted the attention of the empire. In
the railroad train, at public meetings,
wherever men ghther the name of Na
gai is on the lips of Japanese as a
“coming man.”
Negai was formerly a professor at
Waseda university, the most democra
tic of Japan’s universities which was
founded by that heroic radical leader,
Marquis Okuma. The young man is a
great believer in the democratic devel
opment of Japanese political institu
tions and is an admirer of both the
British parliament and the American
congress. He is decribed as a man of
remarkable talents who will be neard
from later in modernized Japan.
But the young orator came to grief
in a maiden speech in the house of
representatives when during an at
tack on the cabinet he called Pre
mier Hara “the autocratic Lenine of
Japan.” The governmental had him
sent to the disciplinary committee
which suspended him for five days
from the sittings of the house.
The incident caused members of the
opposition party to hold an “indigna
tion” meeting in a Tokio hall for the
purpose of “protecting f reeoindofg
speech and personal rights.” Many
policemen Avere present and finally
stopped the meeting altogether. Mr.
Nagai was given great ovation. He
insisted that a thorough regeneration
of the representatives of the people
in the diet Avas really more imperative
than a change in the cabinet for, he
said, the standard of the diet must
be raised.
Of free speech he said: “Japan has
in the past shown her wonderful cap
acity7 for assimilation as may be seen
from the Japanization of Buddhism
and Confucianism and from the fact
that Christianity is also in the same
process of assimilation. With such
glaring object lessons before us an at
tempt to prevent neAv ideas from' tak
ing hold of the people. by the sup
pression of speech must be de
scribed as ignorance of the great na
tional characteristics and an insult to
the power of assimilation of the Jap
anese people.”
IS REPRIMANDED FOR
KISSING WIFE IN PUBLIC
t
MADRID, Sept. 27 (by Associated
Press).—A severe reprimand and a
warning not to let the misdemeanor
occur again has just been administered
to a visitor to Madrid, when he assist
ed his wife into a cab at the door of
his hotel on the Puerta del Sol, kissed
her goodby.
A policeman on duty close by wit
nessed the offense and remonstrated,
threatening to take the man to the
police station, where upon the visitor,
a traveller in many lands, smiled and
said: “ Do your worst. Take me to
the station house and we’ll see what
the punishment is for kissing one’s
wife.”
The policeman led him off to face
his captain, who, on hearing the na
ture of the charge, was even more
severe than the ordinary policeman.
He informed the offender that ignor
ance of the law was no excuse, which
forbids a man to kiss any woman while
in the streets of the city, with or
without her consent. He, however,
let him off with a caution.
La Libertad, commenting on the af
fair, says “the worst kind of prosti
tution and libertinage are permitted
under the very noses of the police of
Madrid without any effort to stop
them, but a respectable man may
dragged through the streets to the
police station for kissing his wife.”
