A GOOD EXAMPLE.

DR.. Pinchot Is now the head of the
Division Of Forestry Of the Department
of Agriculture in Washington. He Is
about thirty-two years OF age and is
an excellent example of a young man
who has an intelligent idea OF the use
Of wealth. His grandfather. A. X.

Fifth Avenue hotel in that place, re-

at $4,000, 900. His mother takes about

father is Independently rich. His
grandfather urged that the young man
should "be put into business" but his
mother, one Of the handsome women,
of her day. thought that young men
should be taught, not how to make
money, but to use in the interests Of
mankind, the money that had been ac-
cumulated for them. The science of for
estry was. and is, hardly known in
America. Mr.. Pinchot graduated from
Yale College, and had a careful train
ing in the best German schools. He
was then engaged by Mr.. George Van

forests on his place known as Bilt-

CHRISTIANITY IN JAPAN

Mr.. Stafford Ransome has written a
book on Japan titled Japan In Trans
itiOn." The book shows careful study
OF the subject. and presents some fresh
views regarding the relation Of the
Japanese to Christianity. Mr.. Ransome
makes the bold statement that the mis-
sionaries. on the whole, fail to present
to the Japanese the best side of Christ
ianity, owing mainly to their inferior
char acter. He admits freely that there
are some excellent, and noble men
among the Protestants, but that there
is large class OF half-educated men
and women who are not capable of
reaching the acute and cultivated
minds Of the higher classes of the peo-
pie. The day has passed when eloquent
"boy-preachers" and devoted" but
ignorant and narrow-minded men and
women can do the best missionary
work. Put none but grenadiers on
guard" must be the motto of the
church militant. Mr.. Ransome says
that many of the leading Protestant
foreigners in Japan claim that the
Roman Catholics alone are making
any real progress In Japan. because
they are well educated, live the lives
of the people. in simplicity and econo-
my. and work quietly and systemati-
cally. and follow Japanese customs.

CORNELIUS VANDERBILT.

family, the powerful influence of a
good mother in shaping the fortunes
Of her children.

Of the organizing power. Wall street
called him pessimist because he re-

THE PRESIDENTS RESPONSE
-'... BILlTY.

1t is not the Flag waving, but the
serious Americans, who realize the bur-
den of responsibility that rests upon
President Mckinley in dealing with
the vague question of expansion. He
is, under the Constitution, the Execu-
tive, the enforcer, not of his own will,
but the will of the people. He has con-
scientiously, with painful anxiety
sought to ascertain that will. There
Is no election through which It can
at present be distinctly expressed, and
he is left to ascertain 1t by watching
and summing up public sentiment.
This sentiment crystallizes slowly in
the minds of fourteen millions Of
voters, who have different interests,
who are not used to suddenly taking
up and settling novel questions. IL
Is no easy task to ascertain the will
OF the majority, when, as the wise men
say, 1t Is not reason, but habit and
customs which govern us. The Pres
ident has no divine gift. but discovers
the drift Of public thought as other
men discover 1t. and he IL liable TO
error as they are. In democracy,
the chief is the target at which all
the arrows of intolerance fly, and II the
statements Of partisans are true. the
United States never had a chief ex-
ecutive who was wise or honest. The
President may be In error In the course
which he Is taking towards the Fill
pinos. But he Is the pilot now Of the
Ship Of State. the anxious Palinurus OF
the legend in Virgil, who. Is ever
faithful.
"And clinging to the helm
Holds fast and fixes his eye upon the
stars"
The policy OF expansion Is a move
In the dark. and 1t may be. and pro-
badly Is. a wise one within limitations.
The President has to deal with some
millions OF voters, the majority Of
whom have not been over successful
In dealing with their own domestic
affairs, but feel quite competent 10

afiairs,

Government wants is useless for any
agricultural purpose, and its real value

price of the land at once.
The Federal government has annex

who, some years ago, were willing to

The question was asked more than
once after the Overthrow. why does
not the government or the Annexation
party take steps to secure sufficient
land near Pearl harbor for the use Of
the United States? Admiral Walker,
while examining the channel in 1894,
said, 1.-THE United States has the right
TO use the waters Of Pearl harbor. but
II does not have the right to occupy
a foot Of land around IL, and we are at

There has been some intimation
that the Japanese government may es-
tablish Christianity as the State reli-
gion, for business reasons" This, OF
course, will not be done. Mr.. Ran
some declared that 1.-The Japanese man
has no strong religious convictions OF
any Sort" II this is true, religion
in the interests of commerce, might be
established, though 1t would have
hardly a precedent for 1t in history.
Canon Taylor, one Of the leading
men, in the English Church Missiona-
ry Society, sad that the members of
a certain caste in India, were prohi-
bited, by their caste rules, from eat
ing certain food. When they were in
formed that by the adoption of Christ
ianity, there would be no restrictions
upon their eating. they adopted Christ
ianity at once, and were returned as
converts by the local missionary. Agood
man asked an African traveller VIII. TIL
err the King Of Dahomey would take
Christianity and he replied: 1.-THE old
rascal will take anything he can put
his hands on"
The Japanese will not take" Christ
ianity. as a business venture, nor
would it be to the advantage of Christ
ianity that they should.
But the Openness of this intelligent
people to the discussion Of all things
without prejudice is one Of the most
singular events in the history of men.
