OFFERS EXPLANATION
OF STORY OF ADAM

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
l have read Julia d. Simmons letter
of the 14th, about Cain not marrying
his sister, Adam not being the first
real man but perhaps the seventh,
people corresponding to animals, etc.
Cain did not need to marry his sister
the earth was populated when Adam
came, the same as 1t always was. The
New Testament says Christ was "the
trst-born of every creature" Where
the sister gets her idea is a mys-
terry. Adam was the last of a
series of seven Messiahanic charac-
ters; and there is a repetition of
it all once in about 1900 years. Adam
was race of men constituting the
gods. God 1.-THE godsl said: Let US
make man." etc. Us is plural. The
seven such characters of our history
were Adam, Enoch. Noah, Moses, Elijah, !,
Jesus. Only six? Jesus said he was
coming again. This so-called second ad-
vent makes the seventh. Adam and
Jesus were the same men: Jesus was
the Son of God: so was Adam. See last
of Luke (genealogy Of jesus.

A MUNICIPAL FINANCE EXHIBIT.

group of British, French and American banks
are advertising the hotation of S46000000 Of bonds
of the city Of Tokyo, and the literature which sets
forth their investment desirability might we'll be
studied by American municipal administrators
Tokyo is the capital and metropolis of Japan.
1t has l,805 900 population O9l0) in the city proper.
The present loan is being loaed to buy the tramway
and electric lighting systems of the city. These sys-
TENS serve the city and also suburbs containing
$4,000 inhabitants. so that the total population
served by these facilities is set down as 22O4O0O
Most striking of the claims Tokyo presents in
behalf of its bonds is the statement that this great
city has total debt of only $7,50OOOO. Compared
to the debts of cities in Europe and America, this
seems marvelously low Moreover, the fact that in
single issue, the city is selling at per cent an is
sue of its bonds amounting to seven times as much
as the whole present debt certainly bears out this
impression. What American city could float new
loan, for any purpose whatever, amounting to seven
times its present total debt? 1t would be financial
and legal travesty to undertake such a thing. The
financial world would hoot the proposition off its ex-
changes.
Not only does Tokyo propose to do just this, but
il is making an excellent SALE The most powerful
and careful international bankers are taking this loan
1t is issued at per cent Consider that during the
late war the imperial Japanese government issued
loans at per cent and then had to accept consider
able discounts, and it is apparent that Japanese credit
in general is fast improving. Japanese interest rates
tend downward during period in which interest rates
on like securities in America have tended upward.
The new loan for Tokyo will pay for great pub
lie service SYSTEM already profitable and certain to
be vastly in the near future SO that unlike
major part of the debts of American cities, this
liability will really be only an excellent investment

THE HARDWICK FIASCO.

The Hardwick sugar investigating committee
publishes report in thrNtwo printed pages, sum-
marizing a long, costly, and absolutely fruitess in
curry.
At page % the word Dutch occurs for the
only time in this report But it doesn't refer to the
niquitous Dutch Standard of color, the Sugar trusts
real protection.
There is not word or a line about the Dutch
Standard; yet that is the crux of the whole sugar
schedule.
{ There is no recommendation that the Dutch
Standard test be taken out of the law.
In view of the widespread publicity of the truth
about the Dutch Standard the perennial scandal
Of sugar tariff legislation, it is absolutely nconcev-
able how the Hardwck committee could have omit
ted reference to it.
The explanation must assume either deter
mined purpose to the trust and betray the
sumer, or else a monumental stupidity on the part
of the committee.

FACING THE RELIGIOUS FACTS.

Last year the Rev. w. K. Lowher Clarke pub
lshed book entitled Facing the Facts or An Eng
shmans Religion" The object Of it was to examine
the present condition of religious belief and practice
in Great Britain by of essays on different sides
of the nations life, contributed by writer's of different
schools of thought. One succnct commentary on the
book is: The prevailing tone of the volume is not
optimistic"
An organized movement has been set on foot
by the ministers of Washington to ascertain why
people do not 60 to church,, and other cognate ques-
tions call has been sent out for thousand VOL
unteers to take this of every man and woman
in the District Fifteen hundred Of these volunteers
have been secured, and it is probable that the work
will begin at an early date.
No community can get correct conspectus of
its social life and tendencies without accurate data
The laXty in the matter of vital statistics is a
cause of constant regret. The Census Bureau con-
firms this as being paheticalIy true here and else
where and depIores its inability to secure accurate
data in other departments of inquiry.
This census of the attitude of the National Capt.
tai toward religious thought in the twentieth century
offers an opportunity of epocha Importance. Thor
oughly and conscentiously carried OUT it will furnish
the groundwork for vital chapter in history as
it shall be written hereafter. 1t will enable the
thoughtful minds Of today to generaze with some
certainty where otherwise they could make but vague
gueSseS at the truth.
1t is hoped, therefore, that every man and wom-
an in Washington when approached by the enumera-
tors will take the questions seriously and answer
them honestly. There should be effort at evasion.
The community which has a chance to look itself
squarely in the face should do fairly and frankly.
The more squarely it answers these questions the
more faithful will be the general image reflected as
result of this inquiry
When the representatives of this movement
come, tell them the truth Posterity will thank you
for furnishing this raw material of future history,
this inventory of the social life of today.
