COUNT QKUMA (By Associated Press) HONOLULU, Hawaii, Jan. 6. Marquis Okuma, former premier of Japan, is dead, according to a cable message received by the Nippu Jiji, a Japanese vernacular newspaper from Tokio today.
When the Tokio correspondent of The Associated Press in 1916 requested Japan's great modern statesman to give him some Inaterial for a sketch of hl3 life Marquis Okuma broke out in a smiling exclamation: "Why a sketch of me? I am to live to 125. My life's work is only fairly under way." That conviction, oftentimes voiced, until, as his friends say, he really and sincerely believed in it, is the explanatory essence of Okuma's career. In
1915 and 1916, during the great war,

"The taxpayer who remains, indifferent to the enforcement of the laws of the land will Pay for his indifference, for as public sentiment lags the worst difliculty will be to enforce the laws," declared Christopher P. Connolly of
East Orange, N. J.. a member of the
Flying Squadron, speaking in the First
Christian church Friday afternoon
"The cost of enforcement will cost higher and be added to the tax bill." "No laws will be enforced until the public officials make up their minds to enforce them, or when public sentiment becomes sufficiently aroused to compel the officials to enforce them.
"If prohibition does nothing else than to bring about a campaign for the enforcement of all laws it will have served a useful purpose." Mr. Connolly cited many occasions where officials had all been imprisoned for crookedness .and for failure to enforce the law. "Mr, Connolly referred to a case where several county officials were sent to jail in an Ohio city last summer. One surveyor was sent up for padding the pay-rolls. An auditor was sent over the road for embezzling
several thousand dollars, and one man was sent over for bootlegging.
