CHINA IN A FIX.

\ Canton (China) paper estimates
that 10000 people die every year in
China by fire and Hood, but il is not
satisfied. '.The fact is" il remarks
with cold bloOded cynicism, .'the great
need of China is the sudden removal of
two or three million inhabitants to
make elbow room for those who are
left" China assuredly is like the old
woman who lived in q shoe, the dimen-
sions of which NIL historica! records
unite in saying were insufficient to ac-
commodate her large and apparently
constantly increasing family. The an
barrassment of China is augmented
moreover by he refusal of other and
less densely populated countries to ac-
cept her surplus stool of human
beings.
The problem that confronts China is
not altogether unique in the worlds
history. but h factors that enter into
il are on a far more ~stupendous scale
than those that have entered
into any similar problem since
the world began. Ancient
Rome succeeded in keeping her nor
nous population within bounds by ear
rying on interminable warfare by long
odds the easiest, simplest. quickest.
and. i'm the estimation of many histor-
ians. the most satisfactory solution of
which the problem is susceptible. War,
il is c~ontended. has been u blessing as
often as il has been a scOurge; has been
u blessing for the very reason that il
was "a scourge. Bu in these days wal
is discouraged in civilized countries OH
moral grounds: while in countries that
are not highly civilized but are still
cognizant of the manufacture of dyna-
mite and still more powerful explo-
sives, war is viewed with considerable
doubt and trepidation. And in this
particular instance. il is on the whole IA
quiet, peace-loving nation that is con
cerned. always acting On the defensive,
indifferent To conquest.
Had China possessed a tenth part of
the war-like spirit of Rome she would
not he in her present predicament.
What she will do to get out of il time
only can tell, but the step cannot long
be deferred. a violent civil war would
probably give the speediest relief, and
| i'm the end be a most healthful and in
MIGRATING tonic. The next best rem
| edy doubtless would be "a great war
| with Russia.
But il China will not go to war. still
| another course is open to her. She may
adopt the policy hat Dean Swift urged
people To pursue under certain circum-
stances. The influence of cannibalism

A very good and true story Is reported,
with Professor Marsh i'm the title role.
While walking ON Prospect street near his

attached to a dilapidated ash wagon
driven by an aged negro, which animal
had on it's leg a queer bone formation.

cursory examination OF the protubcrence,
and concluded the interview by saying in
q half-jokin9 way that when that horse
died he would like that leg for scientific
examination and would give So for the

hours later. on his return home, he found

examination to reveal the leg of n horse.

wagon remarked, with u peculiar look i'm

THE NEW CODE

Three pertinent points relating to
butte as u newspaper field were clearly
presented by the Miner yesterday
morning. Our rather conservative
contemporary finds that to score "a sue
cess in Butte the aspirant must not
print stale news. it must not brag about
what il cannot back up. and il must
get TO Ia top. if il gets there at all. in
full view of the patronizing public.
The comment of our morning con
temporary appears to be addressed to
any outside daily newspaper that is
really earnest in its endeavor to secure
a circulation i'll Butte We know of
three "outside" newspapers which are
attempting that very thing. Whether
u neighbor in Butte has one
or the other of these particularly i'm
mind we annot guess: the vital fact is
the Minerhas accurately summar-
lied the elements that underlie news
paper success i'm Butte. They are the
considerations by which the STAND
ARDS course has been guided-and
we suppose our uneasy contemporary
will admit that the STANDARDS SPLEEN
did success i'm Butte is little short of Il
phenomenal experience in journalism:
they are a code by which, had the
Miners course always been guided. we
fancy our handicapped contemporary
might to-day Dol back upon "a more
shining and successful career han that
Of which il now can boast.
Suppose we give just a paragraph or
two to the rules concerning the run
ming Of a successful newspaper. AS laid
down by our Broadway contemporary,
i'm their application to n STANDARD.
First of all, this newspaper put vitality
into Butte's local news. Before the
STANDARD was three months old every
body in the city where the Miner is
published was saying: IF you want
to get Butte news, youm have to read
the STANDARD" That was pretty
handsome testimony to h excellence
of the STANDARDS Butte service.

All unheralded, the Nen,s Item "a

All unheralded, the Nesrs Item ap-
pears in number one, volume one, in
the active field of Montana journalism.
The e weekly is published i'm Carroll
and n STANDARD welcomes il as "a
bright and tidy rival i'm the home field.
We never even knew of the existence
of a printing press i'm Carroll. The in
ference that the Neus Item is pounded
out under the impressive force of Il
steam stamp will not do. Onr new
contemporary is too trim in appearance
to,warrant any such assumption. Sue
cess to the venture: il il gets n good
hold the wicked and lying generation
outside Of Deer Lodge will stop talking
about voters who cain neither read nor
write the English language.
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1890-03-14

There's nothing very ''stale" about that.
As to the second point, the STAND
ARD has not sven ventured to brag
about it's circulation, although IL has
the proud satisfaction of knowing that
there Eve was printed in the great
Northwest n newspaper that can match
the record achieved by h Anaconda
STANDARD i'm point of paid circulation.
We believe that, In IN incidental way,
we have remarked now and then q
the STANDARD, at the modest age Of
six months. has a paid circulation in
Montana, more than fifty per cent.
larger than the circulation of its pic
turesque morning contemporary In
Butte; but what's the good of parad-
ing the fact? Everybody knows 1t,
and the result can hardly be regarded
Ms a very wonderful achievement, since
our contemporary will naturally admit
that n good newspaper doesn't have to
get Sd mighty far In advanc to be
ahead of the product of our afflicted
morning contemporaries news press.
But we hasten to make local applica-
ton of the third clause in the code of
our thick loaded neighbOr i'm Butte,
which says that n successful newspaper
must go to h top of the ladder hand
over hand, rOund by round, step by
step. That surely is the rule. That is
the way the STANDARD went climbing
to the winning top ound right under
the gaze of every man In BUTTE. We
commend this course to timid con-
temporary which, we are bound to say,
never yet happened to get high enough
tn realize what it is to feel dizzy. From
the heights it has already scaled the
STANDARD takes time for one back
ward look, in order to bid its pausing
morning contemporary climb.
To put all we have to say i'm "a word,
we commend to the Helena Infepead-
eRf, to the Journal, to the HeruIf-in
fact to all our striving contemporaries
who 'are really in earnest i'm their en-
deavOrs to secure a circulation in
Butte" the wise GUN wrapped up i'm
the code suggested by our motherly as
sociate in Butte. We wen venture the
suggestion that here is something which
the Inter Mountain might well afford
to look into. That newspapers editor
ial page il graced with diction hat
often delights the reader and with n
happy selection of themes that would
impart interest to n newspaper i'm any
cOuntry-still. to our evening Butte
neighbOr we commend the new code.
Nothing could so confuse the Main
street organ as to discover itself sus-
pended some golden evening in the
airy ether of triumph never knowing
how it got there and with every last
round in the ladder removed.
The conclusion of the whole matter
is that we heartily agree with our Sill
yer Bow morning friend i'm assuming
that newspapers do not rise to the up
per air of prosperity behind the sliding
doors of hydraulic elevators. No news
paper can 'take II sneak" and get there.
On the contrary all of us make a pain
full climb; yet a newspaper may scale
giddy heights with assurance rs long as
its realizes that its structural work has
solid foundations i'm generous popular
approval. We believe hat when, i'm
good time, the Miner starts out to be a
'~'riser,' it will take its ladders with ii
meanwhile we invite our charming ron
temporary to come again.
