CHINA AND THE CHINESE

Wong Chin Foo lectured to small
audience in River Falls, the other
night. May he not lecture to the
many readers of the Journal in Pierce
and st. Croix counties
''Some of you Americans" said the
Heather, ''come to China and see, at
once, that we are not dong things as
you are in the habit of doing them.
You, straightway, call US barbarians
and devise means for our civilization.
Now, we Cinnamon are just like you
in one respect; we see you work and
consider you barbarians. The fact is,
we don't look alike. In fact, we are
the very antipodes. You write from
left to right, and we, from right to left.
You read your writing, and we, ours.
You make your magnetic needle point
to the North, ours is made to point to
the South; what's the difference
You find your way across the waters
so do we find ours. At the table you
take soup first and solid victuals after
wards; we reverse the order, and,
reasoning from physiological basis,
we think we are ahead of you. With
you the man rides on two sides of the
horse and the woman on one in our
country, it is just the other way. You
make love first and then marry; we
marry and then make love. We think
our way better because, after a man
has made love for two or more years
he gets tired of it, and by the time he
marries, he hasn't much love to spare.
We pay people for making matches,
sometimes as high as fifty dollars you
can find lots of people who will do the
business for nothing and be glad to
get the job.
Because of I'll these differences, you
claim to be civilized and consider us
barbarians; but doesn't your claim to
superior civilization SAVIOR consider
ably of egotism q
