One w. P. Simpson, an American
now, residing in Kobe, Japan, in re-
cent interview, says that the Japan
ese cabinet is greatly worried over the
growth of irreligion and is trying to
decide between Buddhism, Shintoism
and Christian. The Japanese would
do we'll to keep their eyes open when
an American comes to teach religion.
The prime object of American Chris.

"A NOTABLE POEM"

The Minneapolis Tribune recently
gave evidence of it's inclination to deal
fairly with the Afro-American by re-
ferring editorially to a poem from the
pen of James w. Johnson under the
caption of "A Notable Poem" The
poem was written in commemoration
of the fiftieth anniversary of Abraham
Lincoln's emancipation proclamation,
swing and resonance which will not
permit it to be forgotten"
Says the Tribune:
The view is one of sublime encour-
agement, Notwithstanding the many
prejudices and wrongs with which the
colored race still has to contend. But
the uplifting, inspiring note of the
poem is that in which the author
counsels his brethren never to harbor
the thought that they are here on suf-
ferance, or that they are outcasts and
aliens.
Ills ldllu ID JUL ny llS1C VI I'LL Ill,
This land is ours by right of toll,
We helped to turn it's virgin earth,
Our sweat is in it's fruitful soil.
This is not claim to any exclusive
possession, but simply to a fair part
and lot in the countrys citizenship
This is finely expressed in the follow
ing stanza:
No! Stand erect and without fear,
And for our foes let this suffice
We've bought rightful sonship here
And we have more than paid the
price.
A poem like this might we'll date {
new emancipation of the race-ar
emancipation from any timid doubts
of ultimate justice, or servile fears tt
assert their right of manhood. Suct
literary inspiration may do as much
for the spiritual elevation of the col
ored people as Lincoln's proclamation
did for their political elevation.

Why He Enjoyed 1t.

A noted comedian was walking down Broadway, New York, when a huge crowd attracted his attention. He joined the crowd to find that it was watching a handful of laborers who were digging a hole in the street.
 "Odd, ain't it," said a manager, Show little it takes to gather a New York crowd? Here we are, coupl" of hundred of us, breathlessly watching few men shovel dirt. By the way" the manager added, "that chesty chap in the pink shirt seems to enjoy his job. Look at the showy way he f1ourishes his shovel"

Fairbanks Mail May 60 via Hal- dez or chitina; Roth Bids
 Asked for.

The Postoffice department will rclet all the mail contracts in Alaska to take effect July list, next year, and are asking for pro- posals, which will be opened at Washington on Nov. ii, 1913, at A:3O D. m.
 Bids are asked for carrying the Fairbanks mail both via Valdez and Cordova, but it is announced that if contract is awarded to carry the mail via Valdez no con- tract will be let to cary it via Cordova and vice versa except that the proposal expressly stip- ulates that the contractor is to perform service from Valdez in stead of from Cordova and Chit ina during such time as the per- formance of service from Cor dova may be impracticable.
 The frequency of the service, running time and weight limit are the same as provided for in the present contract, but the bond is increased fro m$10O,0OO to $l3O,00O, except that if the bidder proposes to carry all mail offered irrespective of any weight limit, then he must fur nish a bond of S21O,0O0.
 The department ,aiso invites bids for a winter service from Valdez to Tonsina twice month, carrying not to exceed 400 pounds per trip. Bond renuired Si,5OO. If the Fairbanks mail is let to start from Valdez no con- tract will be awarded for this route.
 The route from Valdez to Gull kama remains unchanged, with the bond fixed at $l,O00. Slate creek is to have two trips a year, one in July and one in August, and the weight is limited to 100 pounds. Bond required $500.
 Bids are wanted on steamboat from Valdez to Golden, supplying Unimak bay, Wells bay and Hobo bay--twice a month, April to. !Octcher and twice a m nth the remainder of the year. Bond $900.
 The service from Seattle will remain as at present except the contract will call for trip ev- cry eight days and as much oft dner as boats of the contractor may run. The service to the westward will remain the same. Seward is to have a route to the Idilarod from Nov. to April 80 of each year, running time 25 days, weight limit zoo pounds, one round trip week. Bond re- uuircd S2G.000.
 No mention is made in the ad- vertiscment of supplying the new camp at Ghisana, but the mail will probably go from Gulkana as Soon as arrangements can be made
