A hero in life. General Nogi is • v.-t r greater hero in death to .la: m lb died a suicide an art that votiirl havt disgraced his memory in th- western world—hut Japan today - singing tht praises of the warrior and his wife who “nded their lives in keeping with the ancient Shinto belief that it i- just and holy" to die by one - own hand so •hit • one <an go into the next world and be a servant to a departed monarc h. Nogi will he buried with full mili tsry honors Great as was the name of the warrior for his- wonderful bra v»ry 'n the Chino-Japanese and Rus ao-Japanese wars, it does not eom nare with the fame and honor which Is being done li.s memory through his act of self-destrut tion. Funeral To Be Second Only to Emperor's. Nc.gf s funeral and tii.it of hi- wife will be second In Importance only to that of the emperor I’ull det.i Is > ill not be known until the dead monarch's body has been confined In Its last resting place. Hut it is known that the new emperor, many of the Japanese royaltv. the highest officers in the army and the navy will attend the ceremo nies From the cities and the interior will cotne a great outpouring of people who were thrilled by Nogi's at ts In life anti who reverence and respect him evan more in death In Japan, since the first emperor as cended the throne about fifio B f , the Spirit of 'Bushido" has ruled in the land It was the belief that this spirit gave high officials the courage to die when their emperor died. The Japa nese belief is that every accomplish ment in one's life is through the power of the emperor. The mikado i« father twid ruler, with absolute command over every man. woman and child In the nation, and the belief held that no greater show of affection or loyalty for a monarch could be shown than to take one's life when he died so as to meet him in the next world and be his slave. For hundreds of years after the as cendency of the first emperor this cus tom prevailed Not only officials, but people from all walks of life died by their own hands feeling sure that this act would merit them a place close to their dead ruler tn the next world. Greatest *'Sacrifice” Os Hundred Years But during the last few decades, when Japan became modernized, when the beliefs and teachings of the west ern world were taken up, the custom seemed to have been dying out. There has never been a death of an emperor In Japan when some one did not com mit suicide so as to be near the ruler tn the land beyond, hut not In the last hundred years has there been a sacri fice by n man of such importance and prominent e as Nogi Nog! and his wife were both of noble blood. She was a highly accomplished woman, a graduate of Vassar college and spent many years in the United States Nogi was a man with a won derful knowledge of the western world and its ways, a man of wonderful In tellect. and with ideas broadened to the point of believing, in man - , of the be liefs of the Occident. And so Japan today honors and re spects the man and woman who com mitted suicide after all their knowledge of the world across the seas, io show the people of Japan that the spjnit of “Bushido" still lives—that the most honored death is to die by one'.- own hand as a show of loyalty and devo tion to a ruler who has gone beyond.

FELDER WILL NDT JUDGE TITLE OF SCHOOL CHIEFS Attorney General Says It Would Be Improper for Him to Answer Pound. In a brief but exceedingly pointed i communication to Stetc Superintendent |"f Schools Brittain, Attorney General Eelder today declined to render an of ficial opinion as to the present state board of education s title to office, hold ing that to do so would be an improper use of the attorney generalship. The request for an official opinion <ame to the attorney general several days ago. from the office of the state superintendent of schools, but not as a request originating in that official's de partment Mr. Brittain made it clear that the opinion was asked for entirely in be nalf of Je:e M Pound, of Athens, one of the unconfirmed Hoke Smith ap pointees to the state board of educa tion, said to be determined to contest the title of the present board, at least with respect to two of its members. Glenn and Moon The attorney genera, holds that for him to give an opinion, without an ex ecutive request for the same, would place him in the attitude of passing upon and reviewing an executive order and an act of the governor in his ex officio capacity of chairman of the state board of education. This attitude the attorney genera! will not assume. Gives Reason For Declining. The attorney general cites the law under which his opinions may be asked and obtained, and plants himself squarely tipon it in declining Professor Pound's request, via Superintendent Bi ittain. The attorney general's letter follows; I am in receipt of your letter of the 12th inst. conveying the request of Professor Jere M. Pound for my opinion "as to the validity of his membership on the state board of education" under the facts recited. Replying thereto, I beg to say that the constitution of the state makes it "the duty of the attor ney genera! to act as the legal ad viser of the executive department." To render an opinion on the ques tion presented by Professor Pound would require that I revietv and pass upon the legality of an execu tive order of the governor and cer tain of his acts as chairman of the state board of education To do this in the absence of a tequest from the governor would be an im proper use of my office. Indeed, 1 am without authority of law to give the opinion unless a request for the same should come from the gov ernor. The duty of the attorney general in this regard is prescribed by statute, which is as follows: Doesn't Deem It Proper. "It is the duty of the attorpey general when required so to do by the governoi "To give his opinion in writing or otherwise, on any question of law connected with the interest of the state, or with the duties of any of the department." Civil Code. I do not, therefore, deem it prop er for me to render the opinion re quested by Professor Pound. Yours veiy truly, T S. FELDER. Attorney General. Today s action of the attorney gen eral makes the matter of contesting tlie titles of the B own recess ap pointees Glenn and Moon, < xacely w hat Governor Brown has insisted it must be made eventually, if undertaken—a question of court procedure absolutely. If -Mr. Pound feels that his Hoke Smitli inoperative title is superior to Governor Brown’s leeess commission, now tn the hands of Glenn and Moon, his only remedy is in the courts. He may g<> there of his ewn motion, but he must go without the opinion of the at torney genetai to back him. Other Smith Man Satisfied J C Langston, the other Hoke Smith appointee to the state board, displaced by the Brown r< w.-s appointment, wrote to Governor Brown several weeks ago that he was satisfied with the Brown appointments, and w ould <nake no move to invalidate their titles. If anv further action against th present board is taken it must be taken by Pound alone, as Langston is stand ing pat on his determination to let the .matter rest. \\ hat Mr. Pound w ill do under the tu:n gi\en atfaiy by the attornev gen t al s opinion lias not been intimated.

Any Atlantan who insists on his right to w ear a straw as long as it's hot, no matter what the calendar says, has the privilege of moving to Washington until the first frost. A dispatch from , that city says the United States district at torney has ruled that the constitution gives every free-born American the right to wear felt, straw, silk or noth ing but his own floyving tresses, and there is no time limit on his vested rights. "Any man who destroys another's straw hat will find a stiff fine or a workhouse sentence waiting for him Monday morning." said the attorney.
