Wisdom From Old Japan
BY ADDrNGTON BRUCE.

n FORE than seven centuries ago there lived in
M Japan mighty warrior. Yoritomo. He was
ANA the first OF the great shoguns, rivalling in
power the emperor himself. Also he was bril-
liant statesman and real philosopher.
lie could think as hard as he could fight. And
he could think from most practical point of view
No modern exponent of the philosophy of success
would have been able to teach Yoritomo much
Here are few precepts and maxims' culled
from his writings, as published in English under
the title Of Influence. How to Exert it.:
The man in whom moral strength does not
grow and increase is very decadence, and that
means that he will enter on the road leading to
shadows and DEATH"
Let us then turn gesolutely toward the light.
Above ALL let us increase our psychic forces. They
alone can give that power that emanates from
certain beings whose domination exercises itself
benefcently over those that surround them"
For those that know how to see, the JOY OF
living is in all things and taste it, even in
the midst of the greatest Affections
''The persuasion toward health is the best of
cure-as, for no one denies the influence of moral
qualities physical health .
. Confidence is the foundation of courage and
the handspring of action9g
Zone OF the conditions of succeeding in the art
of persuading is to batter rudey at convictions
that wishes to uproot'
"A destroyed happiness may prove a kind of
blessing, if one knows how to gather up the
pieces"
almost always we are the architects of our
own fortunes. 1t is in working at them without
respite that may mold them, if not wholly
according to wish, at least in a way some
what approaching it,
Leaders of souls should not forget this
thing: Too great wealth of words is hostile to
conviction"
"Conciseness and clearness in speaking Is
great force in the work of influencing, which is a
noble task for who undertakes it seriously.
Sincerity is necessary with ourselves as
with others. Those who do not practice it regret
or later having dsregarded it,
"He who prides himself on modesty will never
be modest man. For the moment he sets out to
establish his virtue he acts like a braggart
1T is incredible to what degree the who
is gifted with patience is proof against the pitfalls
of Fate
There is no doubt that thought is a conta-
gious factor Of influence, good or bad

Land title Registration.

For safe and simple methods of registering
land titles, the Philippine Islands and Hawaii are
far ahead OF many States of the Union. Noarly
fifteen years ago the federal Government estab-
shed the Torrens system in those territories, the
laws being modelled on the Massachusetts plan.
Thus far not one instance of claims for reimburse
ment out of the assurance fund maintained by the
Government has arisen.
Efforts to provide Georgia with some such
system deserved better success than they met at
the hands of the last General Assembly. The
special commission which appointed to study
the subject and prepare bill declared in its
report to the Legislature:
Land is the most valuable commodity in
any State. Title to land should be the surest
and safest of all Investments but practical
experience has demonstrated that under our
present laws on the subject this is not the
case. The ownership of land should be sure
and easy basis OF credit; but, owing to our
present method of dealing with land titles,
the borrowing Of money land is slow and
expensive process. Every doubt as TO title
makes land less valuable. The necessity of
Investigating and demonstrating the title
from time to time, it is sold or given in
security, detracts from it's choiceness as an
investment. Too frequent have been the
cases whore men have invested savings of
years in lands and lost them through some
unsupported defect of titles"
The shortcomings here noted by no means
peculiar to Georgia laws. Numbers of other
States labor under similar disadvantages But the
important fact is that the other States, most of
them, arc preparing to adopt needed reforms
Georgia cannot afford to lag in important
matter. The system proposed in the bill which
was presented at the last session of the Legisla-
ture, but which failed of passage had the distinc-
tive merits of simplicity, economy and safety-the
vpr nualtiag i'm which fhp system is lack
ing. It is much to be wished that adequate
measure will be enacted next year without delay

Our Territorial Trade.

Trad between the United States and its out
sing possessions continues TO grow apace For
the first eight months of the current year ship
ments to this country from Hawaii the Philip
pines, Alaska and Porto Rico amounted to fifty
live million dollars more than for the period
of 1915. At the time those territories asa
creased their purchases from the States some ten
million dollars. Exports from the Philippines for
the eight months valued at twenty-one mil
lions those from Hawaii ffty-four millions,
while Porto Rico sent sixty millions worth of su-
gar, tobacco and fruit. Alaska virtually trebIed
its sales of furs, salmon, copper and gold The
imports of the territories consisted for the most
part OF manufactured goods. This is one line
OF trade expansion which is hardly ascribable to
the European and which, as the New York
Times remarks is not only a source of prosperity
but also an influence for happy relations between
this country and its distant possessions.

The Bulwark of the Velvet Bean.

The Augusta Chronicle reports extraordinary
interest in southeast Georgia in the velvet-bean in
dustry. Hundreds Of farmers in that section, it
says, who heretofore paid attention to velvet
beans have grown them extensively this year. and
considerable number OF farmers have installed
mills for converting the beans into food for live
stock.
This is part OF timely and intelligent defense
against the boil weevil. To plant large acreage of
cotton In territory which that pest has invaded or
which it threatens would be the top of folly. Ac-
cordingly. prudent farmers in south Georgia are
substituting crops which proof against the weev
and which besides conserving soil resources will
yield something of profit. For this purpose the
velvet bean has proved to be particularly well suited
II is hardy and uxuriant; it restores the vitality to
soil which continuous years of cotton have inpov-
erisned; and it has food properties of high value
Even IL there were boil weeviI menace to cone
with it would be the part OF good farming to rotate
with such a crop.

TIE Canal Slides.

General Goethals scouts the idea that the Pan
~. canal is in danger OF permanent disability
from the earth slides in the Gaillard cut. mere
have been troublesome disturbances winch may
recuE from time to time; but, he asserts these
eventually will be overcome. Says summary OF
his report on the subject:
The cut is SIS miles long and the slides
have at no time affected much as mile
of mat distance. There is no bog under the
he'd of the canal which is forced up as the
sides slump. The channel here is cut through
solid rock. The slides are not a slipping
movement of earth from high adjacent ground
but arise from vertical slumps OF this high
ground due to deformed disturbed under
living strata in the course of which the over
living material spills into the canal. The high
and slumping ground is being cut down and
final rest will be secured when all the mate
rails that is in motion is removed
The views OF the canals builder and governor
are more credible rs well as more assuring than
those of the aIarmists who fancy that the bottom
OF the cut is bog which is being continually
Dushed up or that subterranean gases sooner or
later will play havoc with the work for which mill
lions of treasure have been spent and on which
measureless hopes are staked.
Barring some. cataclysm, it is hardly 10 be sup

able to deal adequately with such problems as the
few earth slides have brought about. Difficulties
OF the kind were to be expected. They have been
handled satisfactorily thus far and there is rea-
son to fear that they will not be controlled in the
future.
The Panama canal is rendering great service
TO America and the world today, and when peace
full conditions restored it will attain its full
influence and Importance.
