Heretofore Only the Soldier Has Been
Looked Upon as Following a
Worthy Calling—Emperor Haa
Changed This Idea.
Japanese business methods have
been widely criticised, especially la
the last few years, as lacking those
standards of commercial honor which
prevail among Occidental nationB. A
writer In the Atlantic Bays that the
question most frequently put to him
since his return from the Orient haa
been:
“Why is it that the Japanese are so
dishonest that they cannot even trust
themselves, and have to employ China-
men at Ilia head of all their great
business concerns?’’
He explains this almost universal
Impression by saying tlmi the average
tourist usually has business relations
duly with the branches of the threo
great banfts established In the t.eaty
£o?ts. When be cashes his letter of
dredit he observes the singular fact
Chat the money is being handled by »
Chinaman instead of by a native.
* “.The simple truth,” says the writer,
"Ig1 that these threo bauks-wall of
thbin. by the gay, foreign concerns—
are the pnly business house* in fbe
entire empire so conducted, When
Japan was opened nnd these foreign
corporations in China' sentv their
^ranches inip the new field, they sent
(heir Chinese coinpradores with them.
“Yes, while all thid pan bp said,
and should be 3ald, In the Interest pf
simple justice, it Is nevertheless undo-
jilable that In Japan the Idefils pf
commercial honor and the methods
adopted in the conduct of business
pre not what they are In the west,
and there Ip much of which ||tie Oc^F
dental rpay justly complain.
‘‘Thovp Is a historical reanw for
this. The fact that in the olden days
in Japan the merchant was placed at.
the bottom of the social scale and the
soldier at the top, .while in China ex-
actly the reverse whs the case, fully
explains why Japan nas produced p,
Splendid soldiery, and has woefully
suffered In her mercantile life, while
the army in China has been the spprt
of the nations thbugh her merchants
have attained a high placo In the
world of business credit.
“Ilut even though the ‘cake of cus-
tom’ Is the hardest t0 break, lts pow-
er of resistance has been already ma-
terially weakened by tho wise policy
of the emperor; and the merchant la
no longer tlie parlab of tho realm.
Prominent among those 5vho by tbe
emperor’s favor have risen from the
social dust jnto places of highest
honor |a p family wtipse history |a sig-
nificant.
•The Mitsui family nf Japan have
been called tho Rothschilds of the
cost; hut while the fame of the lat-
ter has gone abroad over the world
tho Mltsuls have remained practically
unknown except to a few western
merchants who have had extensive
dealings with the Orient. The Euro-
pean family owes Its grent renown to
tho fact thnt for a edntury there has
been no slightest stain upon Its com-
mere il honor.
“Hut Its career, Jt should bp remem-
bered, has been passed In a wprld
where business itself has beon held In
honor; while the MltsulH, engaged in
a pursuit utterly contemned by pub-
lic sentiment, for threo centuries, In
spilo of tho demoralizing Influence of
tlie social bftn, have been trusted by
government nnd people alike, and
have kept tho honor of their name un-
stained. Now, thanks to tho new
Hplrlt animating tho nation, they no
longer stand so conairicuously alone.”

Isomewhdt moved by a paragruiln ro-
gmdlng Hloeplng In church, wroto that
ho linn no particular objection to tho
congregation going to sleep, when It
bus an excuse for doing so. "But,"
bo writes. "I want*to ask you wlmt
you think of this; I attend a church
where tho nBsUtant sleeps during Ihe
sermon, nnd a few Buudays uro ho
had Ibo ’nerve’ to tell U>e rector It
was tho finest sormon ho had ever
heard hint (the rector) preach, when
Ihe hud been Bleeping through It!.”
I This is esrUlnly very lUooklag.1 W#
submit, however, thnt If tho assistant
slept calmly through tho sermon !»•
could do no less than compliment It.
