WAR
IS HURTING VALUABLE REALTY
JAPAN'S
POOR
DEALOONSUMATED
Advance in Cost of Food Stuff s
Likely to Cause Suffering
In Japan,.
Tokio, Nov. 7. War is having a
disastrous effect upon the "third class
home" of Japan. According to Mrs.
Akiko Yosano, whose success as a
poet and a reformer has led some to
call her a poetic Mrs. Pankhurst.
Writing in one of the national mag
azines of Japan, Mrs. Yosano says:
"To those who are eating the bread
of idleness, relying upon the interest
of their money, the advance of prices
is a blessing for they are realizing
enormous profits through the same
cause. No wonder that they are hop
ing for the continuation of the war
as long as possible. These upper and
middle class people do not care a fig
it millions of Europeans should per
ish and billions of the third class
people all the world over should
starve in body and spirit, so long as
tney wax rich and thereby 'increase
the wealth of the country,' as they
nay. This is their true state of mind.
This is the kind of International and
commercial morality actually enter
tained today by those upper and mid
dle class nationals of this benevolent
and chivalrous country, who are sup
posed to be the guardian deities of
the principles of Bushido."
"In-short," wrote Mrs. Yosano,
"those on whom the heaviest burden
falls as a result of the advanced
prices are our third-class people whoj
Christian Science Church Prop
erty at 1 7th and Market
Streets Sold.
One of the largest realty deals of
the past few weeks was consumated
today when Burke H. Bridgers, Esq.,
commissioner in the case of Emily
Bridgers et. at., heirs of Mary Bridgers,
sold to Janet Weil Bluthenthal the
valuable property adjacent to the Chris
tian Science churcn, at 17th and Mar
ket streets. The consideration was
several thousand dollars.
Mr. Bridgers was appointed commis
sioner in the case of Emily Bridgers et
al., heirs of Mary Bridgers versus the
Christian Scientists of Wilmington,
North Carolina, Incorporated, at the
last term of Superior Court and author
ized to dispose of the property to
Janet Weil Bluethenthal for a stated
amount.
The property is one of the most valu
able pieces in the fast growing Eastern
section. It faces 123 feet on 17th
street, 200 feet on Perry avenue and
100 on Market street. It bounds the
tract on which the Christian Science
church is situated on the east and
south that lot is 100x113 feet in size.

Raleigh, N. C, Nov. 7. About two
weeks 'ago these columns carried
something interested the state in the;
number of negroes registered in this
election. For years a large number
i had been getting on the books in
rauriicipal elections. When they were
registered wanew recently one of the
registrars "got in bad" but he could
cite precedent and the organization
could do nothing with him.
There must be 200 or more of these
on the books now and prominent ne
groes say they could put 1,000 if nec
essary. A meeting was held October
17 at which unanimous agreement was
reached whereby some plan would be
offered for such "united action" as
would "secure to ourselves the prop
er and just consideration of the gov
erning powers of our county and state.
As our government is now administer

ready come in many sections of our
country, when property rights, so far
as we are concerned, will pass away
and be reduced to a condition of vas
salage. It is urged, therefore, that
non-partisan clubs of the voters of
each precinct in the county be form
ed with the purpose of educating our
people along the lines of civic, edu
cational, moral and material better
ment." The clubs have enrolled many mem
bers. In Raleigh quite a 'few will
vote almost solidly for Hughes. If
there is a Democratic "non-partisan"
who stands high, his name is un
known. That refers to the National
ticket. But there is a general dispo
sition to cut the State ticket up and
three candidates for state offices are
certain to get a very fair negro vote.

tney called the simple life as a
remedy for the existing situation.
These people were crying, "Econ
omize and save," but it was not easy
to follow that advice. She declared
that the tendency to luxurious life
was one of the marked traits of mod
ern Japan and feared that it was
spreading throughout all classes, each
person catching the infection from
his fellows. She added:
"But among the people for whorri
I speak luxury is out of the question;
we never think of it these days and
I do not think we can make our life
more simple than it is. We are
ffghting with difficulty to buy the es
sentials of life. If a simpler life than
this is wanted, we must seek it in
the grave."
She goes on to seize an illustration
from her own existence. "As I am
writing tonight," she said, "my hus

as myself are troubled with a cold
and some fever. I know very well
that the doctor's powder and water

Mrs. Yosano has sought the causes
of this condition and she believes she
has located one of them in the retail
system of sale of necessities in vogue
in Japan. The retailers who supplied
the necessaries of life, namely, rice
