1MU X4Ui bLBSCHiPJ'iON KATKS liiicu jionLhs mUUUUi buuday Only. THE DYING EMPEROR rpHB emperor of Japan. Yoshihlto, is in Immediate danger of death. Official announcement of the Mikado's death would have tremendous bearing on world affairs, especially the relations between Japan and the United States. For the Japanese believ that the Mikado is descended from the "gods that created heaven and earth." He has supreme power over his subjects and can declare war without consulting anyone.

Cabinet, parliament and party leaders have no control, no say, except by his sanction. Hence a change of emperors would be very important. Much will depend cn the whim3 and views of the new emperor. Slated to be next Mikado, is Crown Prince Hirohito, 20 years old. He is said to have democratic tendencies probably because he is shrewd enough to recognize the increasing power of Japanese labor and the slowly growing Japanese tendency away from imperialism.

What la going on in young Hirahito's mind? If you knew, you could tell us much about Japanese-American relations in the coming decades. Of world importance are the brain and moral sense of Hirohito, future ruler of 77.000.000 Japanese, who believe they become gods if they die in battle. Banzai! Japan is the last stronghold of absolute monarchy. Kings have gone down like 10 pin. The Hapsburgs, rulers for over seven centuries, are dethroned.

So are the Hohenzollerns, who entered the king business in 1192. Russia has cast out the Romanoffs, whose dynasty started when a girl of the Roman family married Ivan the Terrible in 1547. China, 10 years ago, kicked out the system of emperors that had ruled it for 4000 years. England and Japan are the last of the ra fpowtefs ruled by monarchs. The English king is a figurehead.

Kingism, however, still ltongly entrenched in Japan. The Mikado dynasty re'i'gn'. 660 B. C. Yoshihito is -the 122nd emperor' of direct lino ot Mikado-family descent.

Advancing democracy will write "finis" on the Mikados. When? It may be in this generation. MONKEY'S INVENTION highly intelligent orang-utan possibly the long-sought Missing Link between monkey and man creates a sensation in the New York Zoological Gardens. The orang-utau is an anthrapoid ape, the kind told about In the Tarzan Stories. It has small ears, very little hair, and is about two-thirds as big as a gorilla.

It's so much like a human that Malay natives gave the name, orang-utan, which means, "man of the woods." Orang-utan in the New York zoo, wanting to get out of its cage, hit on the jQea of ripping down its steel trapeze bar and using it to pry the cage bars apart. "It has discovered the principle of the lever," says Dr. W. T. Hornaday, the zoo's director.

"Finding that it didn't have enough strength to use the lever, it summoned another orang-utan to help it." Scientists now will debate whether the orang-utan conceived the idea of the lever, or whether it was just Imitating what it had seen some man dp. Having discovered the principle of the lever or crowbar, the orang-utan Is well on the way toward civilization. Civilization, as modern man defines it, rests on machinery. Take all machinery away (all mechanical devices) and all of ns Boon would be living In the trees and caves. All mechanical movements are based applications of the principles of the wheel and wedge and the lever used by the caged monkey.

If the orang-utan can figure out the wheel and wedge, it's just a question of time until the jungle monsters will have their own automobiles. That la how man started- How did man happen to discover "the lifting power of the lever? Probably like this: He tried to lift a heavy log and couldn't Exhausted, he sat down to rest on a smaller log thrust crowbanfahlon under the big log. Up-went the big log, under his weight. That mystery clung in the primitive man's mind. Finally he figured it out and applied it.

The wedge principle probably came to him by pondering how his wedge-fchaped teeth split a bone with ease. And the wheel principle ivrobably came when he sat on a loose round stone and noticed that it carried him with it easily when it rolled. If the truth were known, all other human discoveries also have been the result of accident, which is nature's way of periodically unlocking another of her secrets to make it available for us. More power to you, Mr. Orang-utan, "in ycur experiment with the lever we see a picture of our ancestors emerging from barbarism.

He always seemed to know just what I was doing and just where he could find me. I thought for a second of the events of Ae afternoon before.

There was a tinge ot bitterness and then it wa3 gone. I was too tired to cave. Nothing mattered very much. It seemed. All I wanted was rest.

I tried to sink more deeply into the pillows and go to sleep. As the day wore on and I awakened again. I found myself wanting to talk. Lila had come and was standing looking out of my window. 1 spoke to her.

"What happened while I was away?" I asked, remembering Lila's trouble and hoping it hud been brought to a happy solution. "Nothing," she said. Anu as sue came toward me I could see tears glistening in her eyes. "I've done nothing but hope, dear I'm trying to believe that he'll come back and I'll have my chance but I'm afraid I won't." She sat down on the bed. "I wonder, sometimes, what has happened to the house of Ames.

It used to be a place of happiness, but now it seems nothing but tragedy comes to it." "It's just what we've brought on ourselves we've each been so-thoughtless," I said. And then 1 asked the thing which had been in my mind since I lirst awakened. "Had Tom called to ask about me?" Certainly he almost got me out of bed!" Lilla laughed. "Why didn't you tell me that Tom is your siile kick!" she finished with a word she had picked up somewhere on the street. "Hut he isn't," 1 managed to say.

And then turning my face to the wall. I had a fateful feeling that Tom was mine after all, but I couldn't account for the circumstances which had come recently. They confused me and made me feel uncertain. "I wouldn't fight it; Hclga and don't throw your happiness away as I have done!" Mrs. Ames was very gentle.

I heard her talking excitedly. Something had happened or was about to happen, and I know from the tone of her voice that it could be nothing which would bring unhappiness. "Come just as soon as you can," I heard her say anA then the receiver clicked into place. It was Tom," she announced, coming back to my room.

EDITOR THE REVIEW: Referring to your editorial entitled "An Injurious Order," it is evident from an analysis of it that the writer has not given as much consideration to the sunject as has the corporation commission. In the first place the objection of the federal prohibition entorcement department of this state to the confiscation clause in insurance policies is that it is against public policy in so far as it specifically insures the dealer against conliscatlon of the automobile by the user of the machine under a Conditional Sales contract in case of violation by said user of the national prohibition act or other laws of the United States relating to tne transportation of intoxicating liquors or other articles subject to restricted sale.

It also expressly provides that upon payment of loss by the insurance company, the automobile dealer shall deliver to the insurance company all conditional sale contracts, notes and other securities relating to the confiscated autompbile, and that the insurance' company shall be abrogated to all the rights of the automobile dealer thereunder. What is there in this insurance policy that protects the public good from the actions of an unscrupulous automobile dealer and there may sncn who have knowledge of the use for which the car is purchased? I have now in my office one of such policies, issued to one of the most notorious bootleggers in this state, one of the most persistent violators of the national prohibition act. The writer of the editorial in the second paragraph: "It removes entirely the only insurance the agencies, can have that an automobile sold by them on the installment plan, and practically every automobile is so sold, that it will never be paid for. Not one car in a thousand sold on the installment plan ever becomes identified with the unlawful transportation of liquor." The two sentences in this paragraph do not seem to be in accord. The first sentence assumes that unless the dealer can have confiscation insurance, the car will never be paid for.

It assumes that the man who buys the car must go into the liquor business and have his car confiscated by the government so that the dealer may get paid for it. In the next sentence it says that not one car in a thousand sold on the installment plan ever becomes identified with the unlawful transportation of liquor. If this contention be true, why all this hysteria of the automobile dealers regarding the order of the corporation commission, why the nee essity of the insurance clause protecting the dealer against confiscation by Mho government of machines engagud in the liquor traffic if only one machine in a thousand sold on tho Installment plan ever become titled with the unlawful transportation or liquor? How doe this order of the corporation commission impose a fatal handicap upon th automobile selling business in Arizna and leave vacant nine-tenths of the offices and sales rooms of automobile row in Phoenix? writer, from his short cxper-lem in the enforcement of the nation al prohibition act in this state is thoroughly convinced that, the auto-niobilo ilseH is an absolutely necessary instrument to carry on the wholesale bootlegeing business without It the wholesaler or manufacturer, particular! th wholesaler in Nouales, Around The County Interesting items about persons, events and conditions from Tombstone, Willcox, Pearce, Dos Cabezas, Douglas, and other towns in Cochise county, gathered together each day by The Review's "out-of-town-nws editor." Colored Men Shoot DOUGLAS BUI Garrett, colored, waj snot and slightly wounded by Neal Jackson of the same hue in tne latter hotel on Railroad avenue last night. Both men are being held ia me city jail. According to the story told the po lice by Garrett, Jackson and he had quarreled earlier in the evening.

Two soldiers trom Fort Huachuca met Gar( rett about 11 clock last night and invited nun to tneir room, wnicn, Gar rett learned later, was in a hotel run by Jackson. When the two met the second time, Jackson is said to have started firing, one bullet entering the tleshy part of Garrett'8 arm. The po lice captured one of the soldiers who later escaped. Passports for Non-residents DOUGLAS Persons going into Mexico beyond Agua Prieta must obtain passport vises from the Mexican consuls in their district, Ives G. Lele-vier, Mexican consul in Douglas, was instructed yesterday.

As an example Lielevier explained, a Tucson man can not go to Nacozari unless he has a passport vised by the Mexican consul at Tucson. The same rule applies to a New York man. Unless this ruling is made known throughout the country it will cause considerable delay to easterners and others who come to Douglas and ex pect to obtain passports to enter Mex ico. Consul Lelevier will refuse to vise the passport of any person who does not reside within the territory ONE KILLED, THREE INJURED IN PECULIAR SERIES OF ACCIDENTS IN BISBEE DISTRICT YESTERDAY There were two serious accidents and one fatal adcident in the Bisbee District yesterday. Ben Sessions lost his life in a cave-in at tbs Sacramento mine iabout.

9 o'clock. William Rhoades and August Schlant were injured, by -an explosion at the Junction mine about 9 o'clock In the boiler shop, and P. J. Tucker was caught by a cage at the Dallas shaft and badly bruised about four o'clock In tho afternoon. Sessions was engaged in picking out a place to put in a set of timbers in the drift on the 1100-foot ievei.

he drove In his pick the ground began1 to slide, it was said, and a big boulder rolled down, catching him under it. He was buried under large quantity of dirt and rocks. Miners rushed to his aid and soon extricated the body. Sessions was about 45 years of age, and leaves a widow and four children. His home was in Warren.

He had been employed in the local mines here for a number of years. Funeral arrangements have not been completed. While welding a casting at the boiler shop at the Junctv-a mine Rhoades and Schlant had a narrow escape rrom death when the casting exploded. The force of the explosion blew Rhoades out of the door of the shop for a distance of about 30 feet. He was bruis Naco, Agua Prieta and other towns in Mexico along the iiorder, would be forced out of business and it is only very recently that soma of those engaged in the automobile business discovered that they could be protected against their government enforcing tne law by adding a confiscation clause to it, so new that the clause is not incorporated in standard insurance policies, but is added as a rider.

Unoer the customs laws of the Unit ed States, existing and in operation long before the prohibition act was enacted, forfeiting of vehicles used in violating the customs laws were invariably decreed, except only in cases of involuntary possession, as against the owner, in effect these customs laws were far more drastic than the natlMwl prohibition act respecting forfeitures, as the vehicles themselves were deemed the offenders, regardless ot claim of innocent ownership, and the only showing under them that would justify a return to the owner was that the vehicle was involuntarily taken from his iKissessIon. Hut we know of no cases of insurance against such losses until the passage of the national prohibition act. The writer is ulso fully aware that there are many automobile dealers in Phoenix and elsewhere and many insurance companies who do not accept insurance against confiscation for the reason that they believe that it is contrary to public policy. In my humble Judgment no more meritorious order for the public good has ever been made by the corporation commission. M.
