The most remarkable and most rapid de-
velopment in the Christianity and in the
civilization of Japan, according to Presi-
dent scherer Of Newberry college, who for
five years was q professor In the college at
Saga, was due to Guido Verbeck. born in
Holland In 1880, educated in America, who
became a clergyman filled with missionary
ardor. In 1854 Commodore Perry opened
Japan to the world. Verbeck went there
five years later. Christianity could not be
preached. He carried on a subtle propa-
ganda. In 1854, Murata, q Japanese noble
man, found q New Testament floating In
the bay at Nagasaki. He could not read 1t,
but found one who translated some Of 1t
into japanese. He was profoundly Inn
pressed with the teachings OF the book.
Later he obtained a Chinese testament.
This he could read. He became a Chris
tian, the only Japanese Christian in more
than two centuries.
Early in his career in the islands verbeck
met Murata, and they worked together
quietly and effectively. Verbeck was a
man of remarkable requirements and great
intelligence. He was a born diplomat. His
talents were recognized by the brown
statesmen. with whom he came in contact.
He was informed in history. politics, eco
Monies. He became an Intimate adviser Of
the government. He bore no title and never
sought to be in the Hmelight. Verbeck in

According to Harry Lauder there are peo-

still votes for Andrew Jackson is as a little

generation being stil loyal to the long-de-

The comedian says that he spent a
couple Of weeks exploring the old glens
and hills OF northern Scotland, and pene-
trated into regions where tourists were
never seen before. A I last. cooped in a lit
tie dell called Glen Larchie, he found a
little knot OF Highlanders. who paid their
taxes with reluctance. growled and glow
cred at the name OF the king, and asked
Harry II he had any news from the king

all Scots. knows we'll that "the KIM across
the water is the Highland term for a

High Prices for Orchard Lands

AS an instance of how high the
value of Oregon orchard lands may
attain when scientific principles and
modern methods are applied there
on we clip the following item from
the Hood River Glacier:
The highest price ever offered
for Hood River orchard land was
rendered L. Struck last week when
some eastern men tried to induce
Mr.. Struck to part with nine acres
for $4,000. The offer for the
Struck orchard was made after the
discovery that its owner last year
received in the neighborhood of $4,
200 from three and a half acres
which is all that he has in bearing,
the other five and half acres being
planted to young trees. The bear
ing are principally Newtowns.
Hood River is not the only spot
in Oregon where high prices for or
chard land obtains. Many startling
examples come from Medford,
Grants Pass and many other por-
tions of the Willamette valley, but
scientific methods were first applied
in Hood River and as q result the
fame of Hood River for fine apples
and Strawberries has gone abroad
and the price of land has gone up
by leaps and bounds. Willamette
valley has only recently thrown off
its lethargy and has gone into fruiC
raising business along scientific
lines. The benefits were so rapid
and so marked that it is fast over
coming the lead made by Hood
River. Any part almost of Wes-
tern Oregon is fine for fruit raising
but old moss back cultivation has
kept this fact dormant for many
years. If the people in the East
could only realize what enormous
profits may be secured from a few
acres of land in this state the trend
westward would bc far beyond the
capacity of the railroads to care for.

After all, it is men that build
cities and develope states. The
status of city or state is the rehec-
ton of the character of it's men. If
let alone by the white NAL the saw
age would still dwell in his wigwam
and tepee. Many a citizen is no
more factorful for city or state ex-
pansion than was the Indian in his
time. The interest collecting miser
who takes his toll and growls at
taxes is benefit to nothing. If a l
were like him Portland would stiA
be village Of cabins, cheap stores
and cheaper men. The reason the
Chinaman' S wage in his own coun-
try is but few cents day is be-
cause his mind is bent wholly on
himself with no interest whatever in
the collective good. The costliest

sorption in self and indifference to

lost in the search for a sou. One

Wright Brothers and Signal Corps.

An admlrer OF the inventors has sug-
gested that the Wright brothers be ap-
pointed first lieutenants in the army Sig
nal Corps. The proposition has the merit
OF novelty and. OF course, is based on the
complacent assumption that the Nessrs.
Wright sre willing 70 accept a commits
sion In the military establishment and.
moreover. would regard such appointment
as a distinction. As a matter of fact.
the Wright brothers have received honors
compared with which an appointment as
a first lieutenant In any branch OF the
army would seem paltry. They have been
or Will be paid something like $4,000
for the aeroplane; they have received
Congressional medals. and have been the
objects Of conspicuous attention on the
part Of the heads Of this and other gov
ornments. They have gained fame which
is such as attaches TO the pioneer in any
branch OF invention and initial construc-
tlon. That is a distinction which a milf
tary title cannot surpass; and, aside from
that consideration. there appears 10 be
no reason why the Wright brothers
should be selected from among and above
other inventors Of more useful devices.
including vehicles, for appointment to the
army. There Is no special reason why
military-naval appointments should be
employed In that direction. for the pur-
pose OF adding 70 the honors Of inventors.
providing them with official title, or Civ
ing them regular income. The Wright
brothers are entitled 10 all possible honor.
and it is hoped that their patient industry
and Unfailing modesty VIII gain for them
further distinction and emoluments. but
It need not be, and ought not TO be. in
the form Of appointment TO the army.

is to fasten higher rates Of duty. both
at home and abroad. upon the neck OF
commerce. Our own maximum and mini
mum scheme offers no exception TO the
rule. An acute remark was made In the
House the other day to the effect that
our dual tariff invokes the weight Of gov
ernental inertia in behalf OF the maxi
mum rates. In other words. unless the
President interposes by affirmative action
the maximum rates become the effective
tariff duties. His mere inactivity. OF a
diplomatic failure TO agree, or a differ
ence OF opinion over some hair-splitting
proposition, or even the capricious refusal
Of the Executive to come TO terms, brings
into force automatically an additional
duty Of % per cent ad valorem 1t re-

tlon to foresee the pressure that will be

or the allegation that one exists. NAV be
employed to Justify that inertia. An
extraordinary power over our foreign
commerce and domestic Industry has
been put into the hands Of the President
BY the enactment Of a dual tariff.
The Washington herald., 1909-08-07


one happy characteristic Of the protec-
tive policy Is that it sometimes becomes
too burdensome for even its strongest
Gdvocates. Hence, various devices. like
commercial agreements. reciprocity. and
dual tariffs. for the ostensible purpose
Of mitigating the injury done 20 COM
merce by prohibitive or obstructive i'm
posts II these devices were honestly
framed and applied. they would effect
an appreciable tightening Of the tariff
burden on the free movement Of com
modlties from one country 10 another.
But they are not; for the effort OF blyb
tariff statesmen everywhere Is 20 cir
cumvent each other by raising tariffs
for the purpose Of reducing them. and so
giving the appearance Of concession
where none IS intended. This trick de-
ceives nobody. and the net result Of II
Is to build higher the tariff wall. since
the tendency Of protective industries IS
70 demand the permanence Of the highest.
that IS, the prohibitve rates.
These observations apply with accuracy
70 the maximum and minimum provisions
OF the new tariff bill. which appear for
the first time in an American tariff. As
suming that the rates Of duty fixed by
the various paragraphs of the bill con-
stitute IN some mysterious way a con

return concession is cue, the provisions
referred TO impose a maximum tariff. ad-
ditionai 10 these rates, Of q. pei. cent ad
valorem, applicable 20 all countries which
refuse 10 grant Us the concessions 10
which we think we are entitled. The Joke
about this business is that the foreign
countries at which our threats are aimed
can also revise their tariffs upward, and
then say that IN response 70 your con
cession' Of such and such higher rates
we are pleased 70 prefer you our own
Concession" Of such and such equally
higher rates. France, for example. Is
now engaged in revising her tariff. In
order 10 retaiiate upon us. and yet escape
the terrible threat OF our maximum. all
she has TO do is TO raise the general level
OF her dual tarin. and "concede" 10 US
the higher rates OF her new minimum.
What an oblging humbug It is all
around.
The tendency OF all this tariff trickery
