WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN 7

Where have the children gOne-the
boys and girls of ten, twelve and four
teen years? Has the Pied Piper of
Hamelin risen again after all these
years from his crypt in the businesses
of the German mountains and called |
them away from US.
There are plenty of diminutive lit
tie girl women and men with insult
able grown peoples clothes and mistit
grown peoples manners, who have
put away the childish pleasures that
would help give them youth eternal,
and are growing old before their time.
One cannot help longing for the re-
freshing sight of a real, sincere, sweet
faced lght-hearted little girl on the
streets, going her way demurely and
sedately, unconscious Of the passerby.
little girl who doesn't scorn to play
with dolls, who prefers to wear her
hair in a pig-tail down her back, and
who loves Miss AlcOtt and che good
old fairy tales. Instead the present
overheated atmosphere is sending us
wOuld-be society woman of ten,
twelve or fourteen years, who dresses
her hair like her grown-up sisters,
wears decolette ball dresses and has
her card parties, balls and beaux, with
the utmost disregard for the eternal
fitness of things. She doesn't hesi-
tate to telephone this or that young
boy she knows to leave his school or
place of business to meet her up town
and help her consume soda water and
ices ad libitum. when both the young
people are hardly beyond the mud-pie
age.
One longs to see a real whole-souled
generous, sport-loving boy, who could
even accumulate a little real estate
on his face and hands in order to
avoid being classed as a fop; boy
who is developing along the mental
and physical lines that go toward max
ing a nation strong and independent.
The competition in manufacturing
and commercial circles on the one
hand and the tinsel attraction Of Lii
liput society life on the other are
forcing the boy into the arena Will
men and dwarfing rather than de
veloping the best characteristics thai
lie in him.
Social conditions are radically
wrong that take away, either 70
pleasure or profit, the birthright o
youth from the young people OF
community, Transforming them into
race Of premature men and womel
from whose round of life the big sec
: tion belonging to childhood has bee
+. cut away.

The Louisiana Legislature is having
trouble over the johnson grass ques-
tion. The wrangle grew out of bill
introduced to forbid it being planted
in the state and the fight was warm
one. The discussion brought forth
the fact that the grass has its cham
pions who are just as strong in 1T
favor as its opponents are bitter in theil
warfare. While this warfare continue
the grass keeps growing.

the line of the road and dumped out the
earth. This was to show that the king and
the court were thoroughly interested in the
undertaking."
Tell me something about Korat, the
terminus of the road said /.
''korat is big city surrounded by rich
plains. 1t is a great center of trade. 1t
lies 100 miles from Bangkok and in the past
about two weeks have been required for the
trip between the two places. By the rail-
road it is made in ten hours. They are now
extending the railroad on to the north and
il will eventually connect with Chiengmai,
the great center of trade of northern Siam.
From there a line will eventually connect
il with the Burmese railroads now being
built toward China. l doubt not that in
time the Chinese and Trans Siberian sys-
TENS will be connected, so that one may
really go from Paris to Bangkok by rail-"
Another railroad is to be built from
Bangkok westward down through the Ma
lay peninsula to the Strait of Malacca. We
have a road from Bangkok to Paknam, on
the Menam river, and altogether we are
gradually becoming a railroad country"
Where does Siam get its railroad ma
terials?'

waste land under cultivation The terri
tory which it has was swamp and jungle ten
years ago, but 1t as noW settled by over
M;ooo people e. These companies get their
revenues from the sales Of the land border
Ing on their canals The price is limited
to 2.I5, gold, per- acre, and at this price
they can pay good dividends. There are
opening up. The situation is being care
fully studied, and expert engineers will
make plans by which these lands can be
developed and brought under cultivation"
No Debts and Money to Burn.
"Such public improvements will need a
vast deal of money. will they not? sup
pose Siam has large public debt already"
1T has no sdebtE wha tever,'' replied the
Siamese secretary. TT has, on the contrary,
cash surplus of about 25,OO,00O ticals, in
Guiding millions dollars which was lately
invested In British consols. Our govern
ment Is one of the few in the world which
are not in debt The revenues more than
meet the expenses, and the country Is in
creasing its riches from year to year,
where does the revenue come from?'
From the usual taxes and licenses, re-
piled Mr.. Lotus. I'VE have our internal
revenue taxes, capitation tax and a very
low customs tax. We charge only per
cent on imports, so you will see that Siam
is, practically a free trade country, and
your people can ship there with as little
restrictions as to any part of the world.
The tax fixed by the foreign powers for
China is higher, and in Japan and other
eastern countries it is many times as
great. Our people welcome imports, and
they will welcome American travellers. In
stead of fighting your way from place to
place through a riotous population as in
China, come to US and you will be courte
ously received and made at home"
Our Missionaries in Siam.
How about our missionaries" said I.
Your country Is a Buddhist country. Does
it tolerate Christianity"
YES" was the reply "Siam tolerates all
religions. The American missionaries are
much liked, and they are allowed to go
where they please and to teach what they
please. They have schools in the different
cities and they do much good.
''As to Buddhism that is the prevailing
religion. We have thousands Of priests and
thousands OF temples. Many of the priests
are teachers, and they have their schools
scattered here and there over the country.
We are doing much in education. The gov
eminent established normal college in
1892. We have boarding schools in Bang
kok for the sons and daughters Of princes

Written for The Evening Star
For the first time in our history Siam has
a legation at Washington accredited solely
to the United States. Prior to this there
has been one minister for the United States
and England, who has spent most of his
time in London. and visited Washington
only periodically to pay his respects to the
President and attend to Siamese interests
on this side the ocean. OF late, however.
the king has been pushing his trade in
every possible way. and has now established
an envoy extraordinary and minister pleni-
pOtentiary at Washington The new min
lister has the title of Phya Akharaj Yarad-
hara. and he has held the highest official
positions at home. He has been associated
with the imperial cabinet, and has made a
reputation for himself as a diplomat and
statesman. The minister is a native Siam
csc. He belongs to the nobility. and is a
man Of education and accomplishment He
does not speak English fiuently and my
interview concerning the country was at
his request. carried on through the secre-
tary of the legation, Mr.. Edward H LOTUS
our converse ton opened with some kind
expressions as to the friendly feeling which
the king and his people have for Americans
Said Mr.. LOTUS:
His majesty, the king. is anxious to fur
Their the trade of his country with yours
He has the friendiest of feelings toward
Americans, and wishes even closer rela-
lions than those which now exist between
the two people. The legation will do all it
can to better the trade between the two
countries. and 1 really think we have a
market there which your people do not ap-
preciate. Siam IS one of the richest coun-
tries of the far east 1t is bigger than
France or Germany, and it has a population
OF about 100000 1t is a country of many
large cities. and one with which the Eng
lish and the Germans have large trade
1t is one which is equally open to the
Americans, whom We hope will, from now
on, rapidly increase their exports"
American Houses in Bangkok
But have we not already a big business
with your country?' 1 asked
Nothing like so great as it should be-"
replied Mr.. LOTUS You send us some
machinery and hardware and large num-
her of bicycles. We buy some of your writ
ing and printing paper and little station
cry and some bread stuffs. tobacco and coal

and One-half times as great as it was in

track Of three and half miles more is
under construction. 1t advertises that 1t
Will supply electric power throughout the
city and 1t expects to run a line Of auto
mobiles in connection with its street cars.
In addition to this there are private plants
the equipment of which is largely Amer
lcan You can now reach almost any part
OF the city or suburbs by street cars"
Bangkok and It's Floating Houses.
Give me some idea Of Bangkok. Mr..
LOTUS. Our people think the town is made
up of houses floating on the water"
That is SO only to limited extent was
the reply. THE city lies on the Menam
river. extending for miles up and down both
sides of it. There is a large boat popula-
ton and perhaps 10000 people who actually
live In houses anchored to posts in the
river SO that they rise and fall with the
tide. Many of these houses are of large
size. They are built upon RATS and very
comfortable homes. They constitute, how
ever, but small part of Bangkok. The
city has a million people 1t has many
magnificent homes and fine public buildings.
The palaces of the king are of great extent
and in many respects are as fine as the
great buildings of Europe.
The city is a beautiful one. 1t is cut up
by canals. and about thirty-five years ago
these canals were the streets. All traffic
was carried on in boats, and boats took the
place of wagons and carriages. There are
still about Seventy-f1ve miles of canals in
BANGKOK, Out bridges nave Deen Dulll over
them, paved streets have been laid. and
you can now drive almost anywhere in a
carriage. Ten years ago there were only
about nine miles Of paved streets Now
there over fifty miles, and new streets
are being opened up every year. The Amer
lean bridge makers might do a good bust
ness in supplying the bridges. The old ones
of iron and wood are being replaced by
modern ones of iron and steel. The king
himself builds one steel bridge every year
out of his private funds as a gift to the
special ceremonies. his birthday. At
present the most of our bridge building ma
terials come from England"
Il see that our consul general Hamilton
King says that Bangkok is unhealthy
from lack Of waterworks."
THAT matter Is being remedied," replied
Mr.. LOTUS. The government is now in
vestigating the subject and within short
time we will have a new water works and
supplies will come from. 1t takes an enor-
nous amount of pipe for city so scattered
as Bangkok and whether we shall import it
or make it ourselves is a question. Our
people are skillful in handling clay, and 1t
may be that the pipes will be of pottery,
or we may establish foundries to make
them. We are trying to develop the coun-
try in every way, and can afford to spend
more If thereby we can found a home in
dustry.

The vast plain of southern Slam, which has
some Of the richest soil in the world, has
been opened up by canals. The greater
part Of 1t was u jungle until within the last
fifty years. when canals began to be dug.
We have now canals from river to river
and the canals serve as the highways of
the country. In addition to the government
works there are private canal companies
which have received large concessions of
land. The Siam Canal and Irrigation

son why the United States should not sup

We need many bridges and you Americans
are now doing much in furnishing bridges
for the world. l see reason why you
should not compete to our locomotives
and other rolling stock and in even taking
contracts for the construction of the roads"
DO you use much electricity in Siam?"
I'VE have twenty-eight electric plants in
Bangkok alone. We have one incandescent
