plied Mr.. Lotus. I'VE have our Internal
revenue taxes, a capitattOn tax and a very
low customs tax. We charge only 3 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 "a
great. Our people welcome imports, anu
they will welcome American travellers. In

We have twenty eight electric plants in
Bangkok alone. We have one incandescent
electric light plant which furnishes II, 1000
lights. 1t originally belonged to the Eng

ing the kings palace and for the use OF the

American engineer named Bennett, and an
American syndicate, but was later on sold
to a Danish company, which now manages
It. The most of its supplies were pur-
chased from Europe, but some from Amer

THE Danish company now owns the cleo
trio railroads. II has a tramway seven and
one-half miles long in operation and a
track Of three and a half miles more is

BE FRIENDLY.

In a few weeks the various
High Schools will turn out Their
graduates, and we think there
is no better time for us to say a
word to them and incidentally
to all other young people, than
now. Don't be foolishly proud.
Start out in life with the idea
that you know everybody that
is respectable who lives in the
town with you. Don't need to
have some one to introduce you
i'm days to come to the very
people you went to school with.
Have a pleasant word for ever
one you meet and remember
that you will cause people to
love and respect you by this
course, whereas if you pass by
your neighbors with a naughty
look and "better-than thou
air you will be heartily disliked
and life connot contain for you
that degree of contentment and
happiness to which you arc
entitled and which it is your
own fault if you do not enjoy.
Don't be foolishly proud and
imagine you are better than
some poorerperson who is prob
ably in the sight of the well
thinking people your superior
in every particular. We might
go on and write a column or
more in this same strain, but it
would not amount to any
more than we have said in this
one paragraph, so, as a parting
word, we say to all our young
people as well as the older
ones, be friendly, neighborly
and you will not only make
others happy, but be happy
yourself.

WHAT WOULD LINCOLN SAY ?

In a letter written under date
of August 18th, 1855, Abraham
Lincoln said: "When we were
the political slaves of King
George, and wanted to be free,
we called the maxim that all
men are created equal a self
evident truth; but now when
we have grown fat and lost all
dread of being slaves ourselves,
we have become so greedy to be
masters that we call the same
maxim a self evident lie."
This emphatic declaration
was made with respect to polit-
ical conditions then existing i'm
this country, particularly the
system of human slavery that
prevailed. And human slavery
was then recognized and sup
ported by the laws of the United
States.
What would Abraham Lin
coin say today, at the spectacle
of the country which under his
administration fought a costly
and bloody war for the emanci-
patton of the slaves recognizing
and approving by formal treaty
the condition of human slavery
in portion of the Philippine
Islands ? What would he say
to the spectacle of this coun-
try employing it's armed forces
for the purpose of compelling
the people of the Philippines to
become our unwilling subjects
"a people who have been fight
ing for independence and self
government for more than three
centuries?
There is no doubt that Abra
ham Lincoln would be standing
shoulder to shoulder with
George Frisbie Hoar, advocat-
ing the great cause of human
freedom Wilmington Every Eren-

A scandulous pension bill has
just been passed by the House.
One Michael Mullet deserted
the navy in 1864 after having
received $500 bounty as a sub
stitute. This bill is to take off
the description of deserter from
his muster roll in order to open
the door for a pension. There
is no question that complaisant
members of Congress having
little sincere regard for the
good name of the veterans have
done more than claim agents to
bring reproach on the muster
roll. Every session bills are
passed to remove the disabili-
ties of deserters and bounty
jumpers, and these are regular
ly followed up by claims for
pensions under the general laws
or by private bills granting
them Members of Congress
who introduce and pass these
bills are anything but true
friends of the deserving veter-
ans. Philadelphia Record.

child Ahe left to mourn for time their
irreparaBle loss. and then join their loved
one in that land of song and sunshine
whefe God Himself shall wipe away all
tears from their eyes.
Although in the prime of early man
hood, and, until few months ago, APP
parently well and strong, he was none
the less reconciled TO go, for in his life
he had prepared for the inevitable
death.
Capt. Sharpley was well known for
those finer qualities that go to make the
true man. Generous and kind. he made
many warm friends and probably had
not an enemy. Until IA short time before
his death he followed the water but had
given up sailing that he might spend the
remainder of his life more with his fam
lily. Alas he knew not at the time how
short were the months he was thus to
share with his loved ones.
But God knows best; and as Capt
Sharpley trusted in Him and found
peace, so may the loved ones who for
while are left behind find sweet conso-
lation in trusting in the guidance of
the same Blessed Leader, and Compass
