perfectly proper The Buddhist doc
trine Of self sacrifice upholds the girl
who sells herself for the sake Of her
parents, and although she becomes for
the time being an outcast from so
ciety she is esteemed for her act.
Suicide has always been considered
honorable in Japan, the wish TO die
being considered sufficient justification
for the act. No moral principle against
suicide Is apparent TO the Japanese
mind. In past generations the samurai
code prescribed suicide If it was i'm
possible to live with honor The pass
inc Of the samurai has not witnessed
the elimination OF bis fantastic theories
concerning suicide in Japan. The cause
OF suicide in Japan is almost inyari-
ably dishonor.
The religious element In the Japa-
nese character is strong in the women,
but the nen are materiallsts pure and
simple. The women are the temple
goers. Buddhism and Shintoism have
taught the women the beauty Of self
sacrifice. which Is the keynote Of their
character. The religion Of the women
has created a state of affairs in the
Japanese home which is most agree

The character of the japanese PEG
pie as a whole has not been affected BY
Christianity. The number Of Christian

TRAITS OF JAPANESE.
Elements In Their Character
Pointed Out by Colgate Baker.
,lTIorDE CONSIDERED HONORABLE

He says the Japanese Are Honest
when Honesty Is the BEST Policy,
Dishonest Whenever IT seems ADJ
visabIe-The Nation Has Assimiiat-
ed Everything Ia Civilization Ex-
cept Christianity.
The following Is taken from The
Real japanese Character which mp
peared I'll recent issue Of the New
York Independent and was written BY
Colgate Baker, who was born in Japan
and lived there many years
The leprous spot in the japanese
character is the moral element, which
Is absolutely dominated By this Unborn
philosophy.
1t has been stated that the Japa-
nese have no morals, but this Is quite
untrue. They have no moral Ideals,
80 cherished by western civilization.
The beauty Of the moral principle
right for rights sake-is quite incom-
prehensiblc to the Japanese mind In
the japanese philosophy Il is right 70
do anything which is wise aud wrong
to do anything which is foolish; be-
yond this there Is no right or wrong,
good or bad.
In business the Japanese is honest
when honesty is the best policy. The
merchant who does not take advantage
Of an opportunity to cheat by giving
short weight or substituting an in
ferior quality OF goods considers him
self fool. The man who does not
break his plighted word II It IS adyan
tageous for him 20 do 50 is stricken by
his philosophic conscience.
10 the Japanese mind persona
chastity Is a matter Of no importance
except In the wife and mother. Thii
attitude is consistent with the inborl
philosophy that dominates the Japa
nese character. The interests Of tn
home and posterity make it necessar.
