THOSE AMAZING JAPANESE

To the American mind nothing
that has occurred in recent years
has been so amazing as the story
from Japan of the assassination Of
several of the nations high officials
by hot-headed young army officers.
The workings of the Oriental mind
are beyond the power of most of us
to follow. Apparently the soldiers
who slew their statesmen were
merely trying to protest against the
anti-militaristic policy of the gov
eminent, which has attempted to
restrain the army's activities in
Manchuria and Mongolia. 1t was a
demonstration against the growing
control of Japan by industry and
finance, instead Of by the military
caste. The leaders of the move
ment regard themselves as patriots

It's "sugaring-off'' time now, up
in my home county of Berkshire.
They are tapping the maple trees in
every sugar BUSH" It's great fun
and profitable, tooL The av-
erage maple tree yields about Is
gallons of sap. 1t is gathered in
Observation-Disclosures still use the old
wooden "sap-pails"-and poured
into barrels or sleds, which the oxen
or horses draw to where the big
iron sap-kettle stands over the log
fire.
For every barrel of sap boiled
down you get about a gallon of
maple syrup. Boiling the syrup
down still more, leaves a residue of
sugar, which is worth in trade at
the store from 10 to 20 cents a
pound. The owners of the biggest
'sugar-bushes" pack their own
sugar under their own brands, for
the city markets.
SUCCESS 80. n business
I am always interested in men
who started at the bottom and have
worked up to the top in one bust
ness. Perhaps they r o in
teresting to me because have never
had the temperament and DISPOSE
ton to climb the ladder a rung at
a time. I've always tried to go
faster than that, and if there were
too many above me on one ladder,
I'd try another.
However, l take my hat off to
men like Oscar ". Smith, presi-
dent of the great drug manufacture
ing house of Parke, Davis & Com
pany, who has just celebrated the
50th anniversary of his connection
with the same concern. He start
ed in as an office boy when he was
16, in 1886. Now at Sc, he has
been the head of the business for
fourteen years.
FARE and passes
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has ordered all the Eastern
railroads to reduce their passenger
fares to two cents a mile, with an
other cent for the privilege Of rid
ing in a Pullman ear. This is
bringing railroad rates back to the
pre-war standard with a venge-
ance that cuts the rate between
New York and Chicago from
$32.17 to $18.17, and other trips
in proportion.
1t is the idea that the lower rate
will induce more people to travel,
and l am inclined to think that is
true. The biggest passenger-car-
rying road in New England, which
is the New Haven, runs many
trains, even in the summer tourist
season, over 100-mile stretches with
not one more than a dozen passen-
gers to a car except at ~week-ends.
Personally, I have always OBJ
|jected to paying railroad fares since

THE POLITICAL

Politically, Washington seems to
have its mind pretty we'll made up
that Governor Landon of Kansas is
going to be the Republican nomi-
nee. A great deal, however, de-
ponds upon MI. Landon's accept
ability to former President Hoover
and his following, and of Senator
Borah and his following. Very
little evidence is at hand either way
as to where these two figures stand
in regard to Mr.. Landon.
The Democratic strategy is be-
ginning to develop. Nobody
questions seriously Mr.. R~oosevelt's
denomination. 1t would be silly to
Imagine anybody else heading the
Democratic ticket this year. So
far as there are any doubts they
concern only his reelection.
On the point of reelection, the
himself has not the slight
est doubt. Numerous recent visi-
tors to the White House, SOME of
them friendly to him and some of
them opposed to him, have reported
unanimously his extremely cheerful
confidence that he will be reelected
in November.
The Democratic strategy seems
co be to cultivate the confidence
and good will of the conservative
elements in business and finance.
There has been quite a steady
stream of business men IN and out
of the Presidents office recently,
at his invitation. Many of these
visitors have commented upon the
reinsurance tone in which he has
told them that he was trying to de-
stroy the capitalistic system but to
preserve it by attempting to cure
its defects.
1t is on that point (the charge
that he has been trying to substi-
tute Socialism or Fascism for the
existing c~apitalistic system) that
the Republicans are expected to
make their major fight on the Presi-
dent.

EVIDENCES OF RECOVERY

EVlDENOES VI KECOVER1
The best index of the state of
business confidence at any time is
the values which are placed upon
stocks and bonds by the buyers and
sellers on the New York Stock Ex-
change. That is not to say that
prices at which stocks sell always
reflect the actual values behind
them. What they do reflect def
nitely, however, is the belief of the
business community as to whether
business is improving, so that the
stocks which they buy will have
a higher value, or whether it is fall
ing off, in which. case they sell their
stocks, fearing that they will dimin-
ish in value.
Up to the end of February in
this year there had been II conse-
cutive calendar months of advanc-
ing prices of securities on the ma
tons Stock Exchanges. Since the
rise began, in March last year, the
average price of so representative
stocks moved upward from $77.92
to $119.21 a share. Thee years
ago every bank in the United States
was closed. Since that time the
average increase in the price of
stocks has been 1876 per cent.
Last year on all of the registered
national security exchanges 661
million shares of stocks changed
hands. 1t is foolish to regard these
stock transactions as pure gambling.
A fair percentage of stock trading
is done by spectators, but the vast
majority of these transactions are
purchases by investors of dividend
paying securities, which enable
them to earn more than bank in
terest on their surplus funds. They
buy stocks and bonds rather than
real estate because of the existence
of the stock exchanges, providing an
open market in which any listed Sc
curity can always be sold imme-
diately at a price.
The very best evidence of a gnu
inc business recovery, and that the
world of business believes in it, is
the evidence provided by the record
Of the stock exchanges during the
past II months.

KING styles
King Edward is starting out to
be just as good a salesman for
British Empire products as he was
when he was Prince of Wales; He
went to a commercial exhibit of
Empire-made goods the other day
He stopped at a booth where they
were showing pipes made on the
Island of Malta, and bought one OF
them. The immediate result was
that the Malta pipe makers were
swamped with peterborough to
keep them busy for a year and a
half. He admired some African
ostrich feathers and wondered why
the ladies had stopped wearing them
in their hats. A big boon in os-
trich feathers started overnight.
I have often wondered why the
fashion for ostrich feathers went
out so suddenly. I imagine the
war had something to do with it.
remember when no lady considered
herself well-dressed unless she had
two or three willow plumes'' in
her hat, which cost SIS or $40
apiece or even MORE. / remember
one night in a theater in Columbus,
Ohio, when somebody stole two
willow plumes off my wife's hat,
which she had pinned to the seat
in front of her. That set us back
about $35.
|TITHES abolished
One of the rules laid down in the
laws of Moses for the Children of
Israel was that every farmer must
give one-tenth, or a "tithe" of his
income to the temple and the priests
every year. The practice of tith-
ing continued for many centuries
after the beginning of the Christian
era. 1t was revived by Queen
Anne of England in 1712 to pro-
vide a fund, called Queen Anne's
Bounty, to support poor churches
whose members could not afford to
pay the ministers a decent living.
At hat time the tithes produced
about 100000 a year. They
have grown, with the increase Of
farm incomes, to about $1l,ooo,o 200
a year and the farmers of England
have been protesting against them
for a long time.
The British Parliament the Other
day voted to abolish the tithine
system and instead provided a fune
out of which to pay clergymen Of
the Church of England whose
congregations could not support
them.
have always thought the found
ers of the Republic were very wist
in providing in the Constitution
that there should be no relation be-
tween the Federal Government ane
any church.
