turist, scholar and man of science with an Arnerl-
can and Christian WIFE, let his book answer to the
readers of it. Are the Japanese without honor
and without honesty" as alleged? Those OF Samurai
spirit are as truthful and honorable the best
grade of average Americans. After a thousand
wears of feudalism, the ordinary native dealer
in Japan cannot be expected to become William
E. Dodge within generation.

be big fools if they quickly abolish utterly their

do we mean? The past and the now more or less
dead? or that which recent in process OF birth

When it comes to conceit, is it possible that
Japanese can beat an American? Are we not the
most conceited people in all creation? If any
