starvation and when a reluctant congress finally to experiment on a line between Washington and an emi nent statesman attempted to defeat the bill by including In the purposes of the appropriation the survey of a route for a railway to the moon Since Japan began to hunt in every land for inventions it could take away an American railway hing to consider the Wesliiihousc brake saying that a man who tried to stop a train with wind was a fool of its catholicity and its airiness to put to Immediate test all innovations Japan believes thai it will take the leadership among na tions Already Lord has

Englands its school sys tem upon Americas whose laws were built upon the Code Napoleon whose religion came from China and whose calendar from Christendom may perhaps be even more clearly comprehended when it is known that the elder statesmen of Japan actu ally considered the advisability of Introducing All Fools Day All things whether they be great or grotesque are certain of receiving attention by the leaders who are making Japan A factor upon which Japanese leaders base ambitious hope for the future of their country and for China is that it both empires it Is the few people in charge of he

in the Celestial Kingdom through tbe fiat system which Japan has established in trie Far Cast if we clear our minds of the mam Occi dental delusion regarding China We have assumed that China two thousand years behind the age that Japan cannot hurry its ponder ous neighbor into modern and that when the Chinese become a nation of train catchers as Miller calls America the ships of Uncle Sam will arrive in the Sea with civilized cargoes We picture our industrial as the perfected outcome of centuries and almost a The opportunity which we are make the greatest trading nations in history It

rushing along twenty ahead of China let us remember that it took three weeks for the news of Madisons election to reach the citizens of Ken tucky It took three days travel from Calais Paris a distance of 150 miles- The diligence that toiled along sand roads into and the stagecoach that frequently pitted or overturned on the way to Wash ington were scarcely to be preferred in speed or comfort to the carts and of China A journey from I ton to Pittsburg was at tended with difficulties and hardships equal to those of a trip from to distant city of that empire America was strong and resolute but handmade and Of manufacturers as we now understand them we had virtually none- infant Industry had not yet arrived There was practically nothing in our whole industrial system to astonish a traveller from Cathay In agricul tural science both China and Japan had made more advance than Amer ica Our Hail was almost as old as human hunger Far the first nineteen years of the nineteenth cen tury the

to ride miles in a stage coach where in In Winter they warmed their feet over field stones taken out at inter vals and heated over fires We have imagined that transfor mation of Japan was exceptional
