VISIT PROMISES
GREATER TRADE
GREAT FUTURE FOR COAST
THROUGH JAPANESE VISIT
to Deal with Merchants on
This Side Of the
Pacific

TRADE conditions between the United
States and Japan will be greatly bene-
fitted and existing friendly relations will
be more closely cemented as a result
of the trip of the honorary CONNER
cial commissioners of Japan to the
United States" said former United
States Marshal H. z. Osborne, who re-
turned to Los Angeles yesterday, after
having been with the commissioners
for fifty days, during which time many
of the most important industrial cen
tiers of the country were visited.
Mr.. Osborne travelled with the COM
missioners as representative of the
Associated Chambers of Commerce OF
the Pacific coast and also as a special
representative of the Los Angeles
chamber of commerce. He was com
relied to leave the party at Boston
and return to Los Angeles. President
Willis Booth of the Los Angeles cham
Der OF commerce will join the party in
q few days and will complete the trip
which ends at San Francisco, Novem-
her 80.
The commissioners will reach Los
Angeles Friday, November 10, and will
remain here until November Il, after
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1909-11-01

which San Diego, Redlands, Riverside,
the Grand canyon and San Francisco
will be visited. The party will come
here direct from Sacramento.
About year ago, the six leading cit
les of Japan invited representatives of
Associated Chambers of Commerce of
the Pacific coast to visit Japan. In the
association are the chambers of Los
Angeles. San Francisco, Portland, Seat
tie, Oakland, San Diego. Tacoma and
Spokane. Delegations from each of
these cities made the trip to the
Orient. In return for the hospitality
the Associated Chambers of Com
merce invited the business men of
Yokohama, Toxic, Osaka, Kioto, Kobe
and Nagoya to visit the United States
Al first it was planned to have the
commissioners visit only Pacific coast
cities, but later the trip was enlarged
so as to include every important COM
mercial center of the entire country.
Besides representatives of the Assoc
ciated Chambers OF Commerce there
are with the party representatives of
the state department and the depart
ment of commerce and labor
The party is travelling in a special
train composed of nine cars and
equipped with every modern conVe-
nience. The trip began at Seattle Sep

mlssioners, Mr. Osborne said:
There is no calculating the good
the trip will do the Uniter States as
whole, and individuals in particular.
The Japanese want to come into closer
relations with the United states. Many
of the members of the party told me
that Japan would rather buy in the
United States than anywhere else, pro-
vi led the same prices obtained. Trade
relations will be benefited. and that
will mean more friendly relations. As
result the possibility of war will be
diminished
1.-The present trip has opened the
eyes OF the leading men of Japan to
some things in this country they little
dreamed we possess l believe millions
of dollars worth of orders will be
placed here in the coming years, simply
because these commercial leaders have
learned what we have to sell and have
come to know the sellers personally.
1.-The trip has been most compre-
hensive one 1t has included visits to
the great forests. mining sections, in
stitutions of learning, agricultural
ceaters, steel works and all other lines
of manufacture, especially those fac
tories making goods which might be
used in trade, and will conclude with a
visit to some of the wonderful scenic
spots in the United States. There
have been many interesting features
of the trip, not the least of which was
lecture on glaciers given by Baron
Kanda, a graduate of Amherst, at the
National Park inn, situated at the very
end of the great Tacoma Mountain
glacier"

or later he falls by the wayside. He
becomes a prey upon society. Laws are
made to govern and correct him.
Would it not be better to obviate the
cause rather than treat the effect? II
the parents of the girl cannot afford to
endow a marriage l believe the gov
eminent should undertake it. Possibly
that would tend to reduce the swollen

talistic class
Five girls out of eight who marry

go to wedding l do not go prepared
to be joyful. / am thinking of the
three girls who probably VIII be miser-
able for life or until the divorce court
makes them free. l usually take an
extra supply of handkerchiefs instead
of old shoes and bag of rice. think
weddings are serious, not to be con-
sidered in the light of a holiday respite
from singleness. 1t is because men and
women today regard marriage so lightly
that there are so many divorces.
Divorce a Remedy
divorce is a remedy and only a
remedy. 1 believe in it. l have seen
thousands of cases where it was the
only recourse. 1 have made a personal
investigation of 5000 cases in the last
three years and in SO per cent of those
cases there was a moral and an econ
omic reason for granting divorce de-
crees. / do not believe in grinding out
divorces as they are now ground out
in courts. l believe a full lnvesti-
CATION should be made into every case.
Divorce laws today are too lax and are
taken advantage of by thousands. But
would not have the legal right of
separation taken from humanity. 1t
would be a greater crime than to repeal
the right of franchise.
People are drifting away from the
churches for the very simple reason
that the churches are not meeting the
real needs of the people. There are
comparatively few ministers today
who come in actual contact with pow
erty and misery. If the ministe
would stop preaching dogma and
would get closer to the people there
would be less social evil, fewer poor
girls go astray, less seking the bar
room as a surcease from misery.
1.-The minister who is afraid to roll
muck of the underworld is not much
of a man. He is pandering to class
of respectable people who do not need
him. Pond lilies grow in swamps
where the green slime and the black
ooze make it difficult for the flower
hunter to get them. There may be
just as many human pond lilies in the
shacks of Shantytown as there are
roses in Mansionville The ministers
should seek the pond lilies of Shanty-
town and try to make them ros IS.
Practical Christianity, not churchian
ity, is what we need today"
There was more that DR.. Bancroft

most impossible to put it down. He

He has not skinned over the sur

he has come in actual personal con-
tact with the unfortunate beings OF

ton is first hand and not merely

Asked About Marriage


It was in a spirit of levity that ]
conceived and framed my first ques-
ton: "Dr Bancroft will you please
tell me how to propose?"
He did not answer directly then. al
though 1 CLEANED from some of his con-
Versation that the right way to ask
girl r. marry you is just to ask her,
manfuliy earnestly and sincerely after
due consideration has been given the
matter and an abiding decision has
been reached
DR. Bancroft is philosopher first and
a lecturer afterward. He has delighted
and edited thousands by his lectures
Oh social topics, not the least of which
Is his spoken theories on marriage.
1T believe" said Dr. Bancroft, that
the residents of Utah are more adj
vanced than those of any other state
in one thing at least. In Utah, they be-
gin teaching boys and girls something
of the marriage relations. In fact. in
the schools there is a regular depart
ment for this branch of work. Quail
fed teachers of each sex instruct the
boys and girls just how and why they

riage After all is said and done, the
l,greatest purpose in life is happy mar

probably will not make mistakes in
selecting mates.

who reaches 35 years of age and can
show no good reason for remaining
