The Japs are a busy and an

corral the production Of manufac-
tured goods Of the world would not
be amusing il they were to get a
real grip on the situation. They
have tho initiative facultykdevel-
oped as no other nation has, and
they can discount everything but
a "Heathen' Chinee" for cheap

Matt Quay is not as big a fool
as his attempts to boss the Republi.
can party would lead his critics
at times to believe. His recent
declaration that the Republicans
should have confined themselves
to the reform Of the tariff and let
the Democrats butt, their heads
against the silver stone is not so
far out of the way. 1t was not
necessary for the Republicans to
enter into this discussion to any
considerable extent, as their posi-
ton as a party in favor Of sound
money and opposed to the sixteen
to one craze was very generally
understood all over the country.

What is history but universally accept

professor to a writer for the Star. Il
quote the great Napoleon. For example,
consider Plymouth Rock. In the town
of Plymouth is a rock with a fence around
it, 1t is a sort Of local fetish. On Fore
fathers day every year exercises are
held there concentrating the alleged fact
that on this rock the pilgrims landed.
AS a matter of fact, there is no evil
dence that such was the fact. Prof Chan
ming, the historical expert Of Harvard,
has traced the story back and believes it
to have been started by an old man named
Faunce, who many years ago pointed out
the rock to some children, saying: Here
they landed
History states that the Pilgrims ar
rived on Sunday, but refrained from land
ing until Monday, lest they should break
the Sabbath. That is pure nonsense. AS
matter of fact, the women and children
stayed on the ship all winter, because 1t
was more comfortable
The gorgeousness and high civilization
OF the ancient Mexioans at the time OF
the Spanish conquest have been perna-
