Arthur NJ. Knapp in his ''Feudal

other observing historians have
done before him, that the apparent
ly miraculous conversion Of Japan
to modern civilization is not so
strange once it ia realized that Ja-
pan was already in a high state of
civilization at the opening of the
present modern era. Some time be-
fore America was discovered the
Japanese had their banks, clearing
house and Europe's supposedly mod
ern system of bank checks, drafts,
letters OF credit and notes of hand.
a thorough rural delivery postal
system also was in vogue among the
japanese In the DAYS when painted
Indians still roamed the shores of
New England and the Atlantic

.TILLMAN TALKS
ON SENATORS

Washington, Jan. 21.-senator
Tilman took the floor in the Senate
at the conclusion of the morning
business to reply to a recent crit
cism of himself by Spooner. AS a
prelude he paid compliments to the
Senator who had spoken on the
Brownsville incident. He said the
press had denominated him as the
burnt cork artist of the Senate an
added If he was entitled to this
appelation or that Of "Pitchfork
Ben" at one end of minstrel line
certainly Fire Alarm Joe" Foraker
ought not to be ignored at the other.
1--WE both do the Orlando and Zero

designated as a performing soloist

dent. Next" said Tillman, 1--WE
have Dying Swan, Smiling Tom OF
Colorado state, recently bought at
auction by one Guggenheim and the
Swansong is the dirge for the dying
Democracy in the north, stabbed in
its vitals by Ben's pitchfork. His act
was very pathetic, indeed, and al
ways brings tears into the eyes of
his audience. He likened other
Senators to mistrel artists.
At AIS p. IN. the debate in the
Senate had become so personal that
on motion of Teller the doors were
closed and the vast throng in the
galleries and upon the floor were
excluded.
