A Captain Of Industry

While in Europe he was nightly
impressed with the vastness OF the
manufacturing and financial interests.
He then realized fully what the
Japan had lost by centuries Of her
mitage and how far behind she still
Jagged. He resolved thereupon to be
a captain Of industry and to harness
journalism, trade and manufactures
to the one car Of national progress.
With this end In view Hara, though

Osaka Is TO the japanese empire not

the commercial center Of both Japan
and of tho whole Orient. It Is the

armies. For centuries Osaka was the
focus Of business under the feudal
regime. All products, whether land
or ocean borne, were then brought
and sold here; but since 1870 manufac-
turcs have rivaled trade. Yet whereas
