Nothing is Taken Into Account in Es-

New York. May with the single ex-

new capital stock authorized in April
was the largest for any month this year.
The total for the eastern states of COM

S15S. $50. 600 in March 1924 $50, 900 in Feb

heavy April total, however, makes a
very slim showing with that Of April
last year. which was record breaker in
the matter of new interpretations and
capital authorizations, the total rising to
the enormous sum of 1858, $50 00O This

that some advances had been made to

A CURE FOR coNcE1T.
An Easy Method of Getting Rid of
a Mental Addiction That May
Have Bad Results.

'We hear a great deal of talk now
adays," remarked scientific man,
according to the Detroit Free Press,
"about return to nature being the
necessary thing to preserve man in
his best estate, spiritually, mentally
and physically. 1t is not all talk, Ell
Their, for I've tried the nature panacea,
and it works like a charm. 1t is my
opinion that the Creator intended man
to work half a day with his head and
half day with his hands; and to rest
all day Sunday. My work is geological,
you know; and very absorbing work
it is. Now and then, only, 1 get
wide awake on other subjects and dis
cover that, in regard to science, am
becoming very opinionated and con-
ceited. In my symptoms, I discern
dreadful tendency to think that l
know it all about geology, and that no
other scientists know very much.
swell, sir, as soon as see this dan
gerous intellectual rash breaking out,
drop my pen, cork up my ink, get
on some old clothes, lock up my 'den,'
and go straight out to my son
Georges farm. There stay for weeks,
perhaps months, according to the pro-
portions and alarming features of
the seizure. 1 pitch into the farm
work with George, just like any 9TH
er hired hand. I rake hay or pillow,
or chop wood, or do anything that
George wants me to do. AS I work
like hired man. I eat like hired
man and sleep like hired man; and
my old fagged-out, abnormal, conceit-
ed brain gets thorough rest.
"Conceit is terribly dangerous
state of mind, did you know it? Con-
ceited people never learn anything;
just you stop at every looking glass
you come to and admire yourself, and
you'll see how long you will be get
ting anywhere. Sometimes George lets
'ne-take the wagon and go out on the
country roads peddling apples or cab
bages. 1 like that better than any
thing. In fact, if I didn't feel that
owe my life and labors to science, I'd
like to peddle cabbage the rest of my
life. It's thoroughly soothing oc-
cupation; everybody buys cabbages;
nobody can resist cabbages-nice,
green cabbages just out of the farm
wagon at the very door. Cabbages
take the nonsense out of you, tell
you! When you feel yourself getting
conceited, advertise Immediately for
some farmer who wants man to ped
die cabbage.

and buckle down to hard, scientific
work again, my head is as clear as

was with the Shogun's government
that Commodore Perry made the first
treaty of friendship and commerce in
after by other treaties made between
Japan and the various nations of Eu-
rope. 1t was because of the making
of these treaties that the people
focked to the standard of the mikado.
They bitterly resented the violation of
the nations traditional policy of the
exclusion of foreigners, and looked
upon Commodore Perry as an enemy
for having dared negotiate such
treaty. OF the contending factions
the mikado's followers stood for po-
litical and commercial isolation, and
demanded the expulsion of the So
called barbarians from their shores.
But few leaders of the mikado's
party had studied the subject, and
soon began to realize the superiority
of western civilization in comparison
with their own. Then, too, they real
ized that the force of the western
powers would be utilized to compel
the fulfillment of the treaty obliga-
tions, and they had been given prac-
teal object lessons of what that force
amounted to by Commodore Glynn,
of the American navy, in 1S4s, and
again in 1864, when combined fleet
captured the port of Shimonoskei and
destroyed it's Notifications in retalia-
tion for the forces of the mikado hav-
ing fired upon foreign merchantmen.
They realized that the newly estab-
lished government was not strong
enough to oppose this force.
Out of these conditions grew the
conference between the Japanese
government and representatives of the
foreign powers at Kiota, at which the
treaties of the Shogun's government
with the foreign powers were renewed,
and from this conference dates the
real beginning of japanese enlighten-
ment along the lines of western civil
cation. Since 1868 not only the gov
eminent but the entire Japanese civ
ilization has undergone complete
change. A constitutional monarchy
has replaced the absolute monarchy
of the olden days; the army and navy
have been reorganized and equipped
along European and American lines;
government finances are administered
after western ideas; public schools
are educating the growing genera

tions; thousands of young men are
every year seeking advanced educa
tional privileges in Europe and Amer
lea; Japanese steamship lines carry
the products of Japanese factories to-
practically every nation of the globe,
and the eastern island empire has
fully earned it's title of England of
the East"
When the Japanese embassy visited
this country and the nations of Eu-
rope in 1871 trade with Japan had al
ready assumed considerable proper
tions, and five years later at the Cen
tennial exposition at Philadelphia the
empire opened the eyes of the world
by it's exhibits of manufactured prod
ucts. To-day the world is buying of
those products each year to the value
of close to $10O,OOO,0O0, and at the
same time the world is selling to ia
pan agricultural, mineral and manu-
featured products to the value of close
to $150,OOO,O0O. American locomotives,
such as Perry showed them in 1858,
are now travelling over all the islands;
the electric cable has connected them
with every capital of America, Europe
and Asia and the principal islands Of
the sea; labor saving inventions Of all
kinds are found in every city and ham
let, and shiploads of improved agrjcul-
tural machinery are unloaded at their
ports each year.
In exchange for these and other
things Japan is selling the world vast
quantities of cotton cloths and yarns,

recognized WOTlu pow
er. Less than half a century ago the
nations of the west were debating to
Japan the terms upon which she must
open her ports to western commerce;
to-day one of the greatest of the west
ern powers is allying itself with this
same nation for the purpose of dictat-
ing to mighty Russia what its action
shall be in the settlement of the per-
picking eastern question, and, what is
more, recognizing japan as an equal in
such an alliance.
The history of the rise of Japan to
the dignity of world power in the
short space of so years reads almost
like fairy tale. Had some imagi-
native romancer dared prophecy the
final result at the time Commodore
Perry was illustrating to the Japan
csc people the achievements of west
ern civilization that within SO short
time those same people would be al
most at the top notch of western prog
ress, and politically recognized as the
equals of western nations, he would
have been stamped as dreamer.

the products of some of the best
equipped mills of the world; vast guam
titles of silks of all kinds, of coal, of
tea, of straw mating, of matches, and
hundred other articles that go to-
supply both our necessities and lux
uries.
But it is not upon her commercial
and industrial advancement that she
bases her claim to recognition as a,
world power entirely, nor was it this
that caused England to enter into the
treaty for the joint protection of
world interests in China. Of armed
force Japan makes showing equal to-
that of many first-class powers of Eu-
rope, and evidence of the fitness of
both army and navy to stand as the
equals of England was conclusively
shown by their conduct in the war
with China, when she utterly routed
her great neighbor on the continent.
For the protection of her interests
in the east she could put into the field
an army of more than 100000 men,
Of these $4,000 constitute the regular
standing army, while the remainder
are an efficiently trained reserve. This
army is equipped with modern ord
nance of both large and small
caliber, and these, with the ammuni-
ton used for them, are manufactured
in government factories.
The Japanese navy, while not so
large as those of many of the other
nations of the world, contains some of
the largest and most perfect fighting
machines afloat. Nor is it to be de-
spised in point of numbers, either Of
ships or men. Nearly 100 vessels, COM
prising battleships, coast defense YES
sells, armored cruisers, torpedo boats
and destroyers go to make up the sea
fighting strength of the nation, and to
these there are constantly being add
ed others. The personnel of the navy
comprises some 10000 officers and
men, all efficiently trained both in
seamanship and gunnery. 1t is such
a showing that attracted the atten-
ton of English statesmen to the pos
sibilities of an alliance with Japan.
The Japan of to-day isa progressive,
enlightened, patriotic and enterprise
ing nation, and her position as world
power has been attained within less
than half century since the old days
of isolation and superstition.
