heads, would become unduly pompoua,
self-assertive and generally offensive,
With nil the earnestness that I can
commurid I want to urge our people In
every part of the country to dlaappolnt
(hone who have made auch predictions
by lending a life Of Increuaed useful
neaa, aoberneas and almpllclty, remem
bering, aa I have often exhorted before,
that In the long run It la to certain
fundamental Ideas of growth In prop
erty, Intelligence and high character,
together with the cultivation of friend
ly relatione with our neighbors of all
racea, that we must look for our ulti
mate aucccaa.

dwell for all time here In the aouth,
and here It la that our destiny must
be worked out and we can only succeed

Osaka, Japan, la a great center for
cotton factories while In Tokyo some
thing over 20,000 hands are employed,

three to five yeora. Two per cent of
the glrla' wages go to the agent for the
whole time of the contract, which
brings him a neat little Income with
out much labor.
There are no Sundays In the life of
theJapaisefactory girl. She toils
seven days In the week with about a
half dosen holidays during the year,
and s week at New Tear. Working
hours are from nine to twelve ft dav
for small pay. Children are taken as
apprentices, to whom no wage la al
lowed, but a email amount of pocket
money Is given each month, or, If they
live at home with their parents, cer
tain amount la allowed for their board.
It la estimated that there are over 4,
000 children under 14 years of age In
the cotton mills of Japan. A doctor,
appointed for the position, looks after
the mill employes, and If they are 111
one half of the lowest wage la taken
as remuneration.
