There is a fine prospect of obtaining
franchises in the Philippine Islands.
In his report before leaving his ISL
and satrapy, Governor Taft said that
political conditions in the islands had
made the time ripe for a period Of
great construction, and that during the
next decade railroads canal and steam
ship companies should revolutionize the
interior trade of the islands and have
a marked effect upon the export trade.
He suggested that the Philippine Com
mission be authorized, with the APP
prevail of the Secretary of War, who
would be himself by the way, and the
President to enter into contracts with
railroad companies to whom franchises
should be granted by which an income
of not exceeding four per cent should
be guaranteed, the amount to be fixed
by law. This method of financial en-
couragement Governor, now Secretary
Taft considers much preferable b
granting lands or other forms of gov
eminent subsidy.

Contention Is Raised that the Japanese
Discovered American Continent.
The history of Japan, like that Of
many other nations. shows that Amer
lea was known to the ancients in al,
parts of the world. AS soon as the
art of marine navigation was revived
among the Japanese. they crossed the
Pacific in order to test the truth OF
old traditions, and landed in Mexico
not long after Columbus made his dis
coveries. These old traditions have
been from time immemorial kept alive
by service of ceremonies unto this
day, and it is unnecessary to say that
no evidence Of ancient events is so
strong as festivals and ceremonies in
stituted to preserve their remem-
brance.
The traditional history Of Japan in
this matter is a counterpart Of that
Of Greece and other Mediterranean ma
tions, and makes reference to a lost
or sunken island. In Kaempfer's
great work on Japan, this story is
given: "Maurigasima was an island
in the Pacific ocean famous for porce-
lain vessels. The inhabitants were
rich and luxurious and had con-
tempt for religion. The king was
named Peiroun. He himself was re-
ligious. He had dream of a coming
flood. 1t was to happen when the
two faces of the idols in the temple
turned red. The two ido'5 were called
Infoniwoo and Awun-gOds of gener-
alton and destruction. Someone, to
play a trick, one night painted the
faces Of these idols red. The king,
hearing of the change of color, lost
no time in getting aboard Of ship.
Then the island sunk and all were
drowned except Peiroun. He got safe
to China"
But the enumeration of traditions
found among the japanese which point
to an early knowledge if not coloni-
zation of America does not rest upon
this incident alone. In one Of the
pagodas is a remarkable monument
where the bull of agriculture is por-
trayed in the act of ripping up an egg.
Now, among mythologists North Amer
lea is called the egg of the world, and
so the Japanese savants explain this
monument as the emblem of the an
cient discovery and colonization of the
continent by Japan The japanese
Columbus and hero of the first trip
across the Pacific was Jebis. He has
since been deifed, made the brother
of god Tenzio and called the Neptune
Of Japan.-Kansas City Journal.

THE FOURTH IN HISTORY.

Events of National Progress Bearing
the Classical Date.
On the Fourth of July, 1904, the
Lewis and Clark exploring expedition
reached the country known as Kansas.
On that date, just 100 years ago, the
intrepid explorers stood where the city
Of Atchison is located to-day. There
they celebrated the national birthday
and at the same time established a
new State and what Is now one of the
finest and most important cities.
On the Fourth Of July, 1917, the
work Of excavating the Erie canal was
begun.
On the Fourth of July, 1925, the MI
ami canal was commenced. This was
intended to connect the Ohio with
Lake Erie.
On the Fourth Of July. 1923, the cor
ner stone Of the new Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad was laid at Baltimore.
At that time the railroad was built Of
wooden rails on which fiat bars of iron
were spiked.
On the Fourth of. July, 1882, the first
six miles Of the Baltimore and Susaue-
hanna Railroad were opened to travel.
The motive power was a mule team.
Within year, however, the road had
been heightened to twenty-five miles
and steam power introduced.
On the Fourth of July, 1861, the first
pole Of the telegraph line from st.
Louis to San Francisco was set I'D. A
remarkable feature of the undertaking
was the building of the eastern section
of the line, that part between Omaha
and Salt Lake City. 1t was carried
through at the rate Of ten miles a day.
On the Fourth of July, 1874, the
great steel arched bridge over the
Mississippi at st. Louis was opened
This bridge cost s1O,OOO,OOO and is
considered one Of the greatest in
stances of engineering in the world.
On the Fourth of July, 1S4S, the cor
ner stone of the Washington monu-
ment was laid. This is the highest
monument in the world, its capstone
being 555.5 feet above the base.

The Preachers Evidence.

Roland, ILL.,, June 27.-Diabetes has
30 long been looked upon as an incur
abls form of Kidney Disease that a
sure cure for it must rank as one of
the most valuable discoveries of the
age. And every day brings forth fresh
evidence that Dodd's Kidney Pills will
cure Diabetes. Important evidence in
their favor is given by Rev. Thos. B.
Norman, the well-known Baptist min
lister here. Mr.. Norman says:
II had all the symptoms of bad
case of Diabetes and received so much
benefit from the use of Dodd's Kidney
Pills that l cheerfully recommend
them to anyone suffering from that
dread disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills
will cure the worst form of Diabetes"
Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure
Diabetes, one of the final stages of
Kidney Disease. All the earlier stages
from Backache to Rheumatism are nat
urally much more easily cured by the
same remedy.

Fourth Of july.

One hundred and twenty-eight years
bring many changes in the life Of a ma
tion. The world is not the same to the
American citizen to-day as it was to the
people of the thirteen struggling colonies
on the Fourth of July, 1776. The bit
terness which was then felt toward Eng.
land has disappeared. That we fought
to obtain our freedom Is remembered as
historical fact and as measure of the
value which we put on liberty; moreover,
the Englishmen of to-day deem the policy
of George Ill. toward us unjust, as our
ancestors deemed it at the time. At pres
ent England and the United States act al
friendly kinsfolk, each in genial way
considering itself as better than the other,
Because of this change the Fourth of
July has come to be day on which lit
tie is said of the triumph of arms CEN
tury and quarter ago. We still recall
the heroes of that time, and keep in
grateful remembrance the Frenchmen,
Germans and Poles who assisted us; but
We look about us at the broad and wild
ening national domain; we think of the
national wealth, the national commerce,
the national educational system, and the
flag with forty-five stars. instead of thir-
teen, flying over hundreds of thousands
of school houses, and rejoice that we
have been able to make so much of our
opportunities. The infant republic has
become giant. commanding the respect
OF the other nations of the world.
Although it is n long time since ma
tional independence was won, we cannot
afford to lose sight of the meaning of the
Fourth of July with its immortal Declar-
alton. In these latter days fireworks
have taken the place of oratory on the
anniversary, and sometimes it seems as
if people thought that they must make
big noise to express their feelings. Pos
sibly their view is correct, and the boom
ing of cannon, the snap-snap of firecrack-
ers and the siss of rockets are really a
great national "Hurrah.' The thing
of consequence is that the day is not
forgotten and that the meaning of it is
kept in mind.-Youth's Companion.

THE FOURTH ON THE FARM.

Holidays Observance.

Arrangements Should Be Made for the
Holidays Observance.
Once each year the question comes
to all Of us how we are to spend the
Fourth Of July. The farmer and fam
lily are unlike the business man who
can lock the door Of his office or store
and HE away ON some excursion to the
mountains or some other place. In
stead, a holiday brings more work.
The hired man must be excused from
one or two milkings, or there is a
the question of caring for the poultry
for chickens must eat and drink July
the same as other days.
There are too many who feel that
they cannot get away. These include
the men who become so absorbed in
the pursuit of wealth that they often
forget the object of their pursuit and
become mere machines, grinding away
at the duties of life, so absorbed in
the work Of the day that they forget
the blessings and privileges we claim
as peculiar to our nation. Not alone
upon the farm is this to be seen, but
instead Of making our nations birth
day time Of glorious memories, no.
bic thoughts and joyous demonstration,
our city brother hires speaker to
think and speak the words of patriot
ism and he spends the day in dealing
out his wares to his fellows at exorbit-
ant prices.
In the morning the average business
man is too busy to think of patriotism
and at night he is too tired. He looks
upon this day as the opportunity to
get back two, three or four times the
amount donated to the celebration COM
mittee. The clink of dimes and the
thump of silver dollars wear out what
little patriotism he had at the rising
sun and by ten o'clock he is SO alb
sorbed in the business of the hour that
it is hard for him to live that one day
and not adulterate his lemonade or
cheat in making change as it Is for the

The town Is ten years old from the

Of baptism, which is not conducted
without loud and fervent crescendos
Of thankfulness.
Goldsboro. however, has its sinners.
1t has one chronic sinner who belongs
to no church in particular and it is
reported among his own people that
Uncle Abe professed religion twenty
one different times in one spring and
summer-and was baptized that num-

has removed the source that frequent

The relations between the town Of
Goldsboro and the neighboring town

and there is an interchange of bust
