China Is criticized in European papers
for It's want OF energy and decision.
The conventional European view OF the
proper means OF treating with China
Is to pull a gun the moment you want
something. Mr.. Holcombe shows that
the Boxer uprisings are the natural and
inevitable response. His experience OF
twenty years official service in China
corroborates and approves every step
our government has taken and 1t Is to
be hoped that the administration at
Washington will continue to exert an
effective restraining and humanzing
influence in the settling of the pending

~ ONE TRUTHS which are old
are nevertheless worth re-
~ peating. Marshall Field, the
great merchant of Chicago, in
a letter to Rev. DR.. Hills, pastor Of
Plymouth church. Brooklyn, written in
response to a request for his views
upon the methods by which a young
man may be successful in business, re-
peats a number and his counsel has
widespread interest and value.
Mr.. Fields first advice to young
man wishing to begin Il business ca
reer Is to find out what his natural
bent is. That learned, then jump in
and master every detail. The trouble
with most young men, he finds, is that
they are content simply to jog along
in an Indifferent kind of way from pay
day to pay day, making no effort to in
crease their efficiency and with it their
value. 1t is the young man of
industry. thoroughness and mind alert
to pick out ways of improvement who
attracts tha notice, confidence and fl
nally the reward of his superiors.
Outside of business hours the candi-
DATE for success in life, according to
Mr.. Field, must not depart from the
ways laid down in the familiar pre-
cepts He Is recommended to choose
reputable companions. cultivating men
of influence when possible; to indulge
temperately in clean amusements; to
read substantial books; and to strive
10 nhn ..fn al p
On this subject Mr.. Field is thoroughly
old fashioned "rhe young man." he
says, possessing IL conscience that
cannot brook the slightest suspicion of
wrongdoing. and which insists on
steadfast and undertaking truthful
ness, sturdy honesty and strict devo-
tion to duty under all circumstances,
has a fortune to begin with. The abil-
ity to restrain appetite, passions,
tongue and temper, to be their master
and not their slave. in word, absolute
self-control, is also of first Importance;
one who cannot govern himself is un-
ft to govern others"
To the foregoing virtues must be
added one other-economy. A young
man may be all that Mr.. Field has
described and yet II he does not save
out OF his earnings he will not have
ready money when good investments
offer nor will he be so likely to get
credit. TO save money in these mod
ern days. when the whole energy of
our complex civilization seems to be
devoted to devising new inducements
to its expenditure, is perhaps the most

The Chinese Problem. .

4 CCORDING TO the United
~ States, China Is an inde-
4 n pendent nation, with all the
rights belonging under in
ternational law to an independent ma
ton. Included among those rights is
the right to try those Chinese sub
jects accused of grave crimes, and
upon conviction to administer punish
ment by processes which have the
sanction of Chinese custom and law. If
this right is abridged the sovereignty
of China Is abridged and there remains
no well-established check upon foreign
intermeddllng and aggression.
But the disposition of some of the
other powers. especially Germany.
seems to be to deny to the Chinese
government the right of exercising
sovereign authority over the Chinese
people, but under one pretext or an
other to send European troops upon
random errands Of native punishment
and loot and to exact humiliating and
impossible requirements of the Chinese
imperial authorities.

Trickery in PoIitics-Does It Pay7

a CCORDING TO Theodore
~ Hart. whose word, to any
one who knows him, Is as
good as gold bond, Sena-
tor-elect Drury of Pittston. on the day
Of his nomination. assured Mr.. Hart,
cmphatically, that If elected he would
act with the regular Republicans and
not with the insurgents. County Chair
man Frank Wheaton, County Commits
scner John NJ. Jones and Recorder l..
p. Holcomb. of LuZerne county, are
quoted by Mr.. Hart as having received
similar assurances. In the face of this
Mr.. Drury announces his intention to
bolt the Republican legislative caucus.
Instances of trickery are not uncon1-
mon in politics. There are men wfo
look upon a political pledge as having
less value than an agreement made in
other fields of human activity. Some
regard it as an indication of smartness
to practice deception regarding their
attitude in a. political controversy un-
til the time arrives to unmask; they
enjoy creating a sensation. BuI the
longer a man lives and observes :he
less value he will put upon this con-
ception of political expediency. In the
case of Mr.. Drury. for example, here
was q man successful in business and
generally respected. An issue sharply
dividing his party arose and he aspired
to office. If we accept the version Of
Mr.. Hart. a gentleman in whom we
have implicit confidence, Mr.. Drury
did what no honorable man would do
to gain an office; he deceived some of
his lifelong neighbors and friends and
won their political help by false pre-
.ences.
In emphasiz our point it is not
material whether Quay or anti-Quay
sentiment is uppermost in Mr.. Drury's
district. Nor is 1t necessary to discuss
the relative merits of the factional
controversy. The struggle over the
senatorship will come, go and in a few
weeks be forgotten. If the regulars
win, Drury's day of opportunity will
be few; If the insurgents win, they will
have other fish to fry beside continuing
attentions to a man against whose
political character the accusation of
political deceit has been made by
reputable witnesses. After it is all
over Drury will come homa to where
he formerly enjoyed general confidence
and respect; and there will D. many Of
his neighbors who will look upon him
as politically unfair; who will cease to
place dependence upon his word when
pledged; who will feel that the current
rumor that during the campaign $500
of insurgent money went as a contr
button to his election expenses may
have had foundation of truth.

tax law In New York state are now
epdeavoring to defeat that just act
of legislation. To understand the trick
it is necessary to recall the history OF
the bills enactment.
When Governor Roosevelt first an
nounced his intention to favor such
measure. believing as he did that tina
corporations owning public franchises
were not bearing their fair share OF
the public tax burden, prominent poll
ticians advised him to desist. They
said that to continue would array
against him influences so powerful
that he would be crushed. He Went
ahead but he fought fairly. He noti'
fled the corporations Of his intentions
and invited them to favor him with
their arguments and views. They
paid no attention to the invitation, re-
lying on their ability to smother the
bill in the legislature.
Just before the session closed the
governor rallied his friends in the as
sembly and, much to the CONSERVATION
of the corporations and politicians,
the bill imposing tax on franchises
was passed. Then began rush Of
men to Albany to see the governor
were pointed out. One in particular
was made much of. AS originally
passed the Ford law put the assessing
of franchise values in the hands of
local assessors. The big New York
corporations complained bitterly that
this feature Of the,law laid them liable
to gross eXtortion from Tammany and
they emphasized this point so strong
iy that Governor Roosevelt finally
agreed to recall the legislature in extra
session and recommend an amend
ment to the law vesting the power to
make assessments in board of state
assessors specially appointed for that
purpose. He stipulated, however, that
no other amendments, especially mona
fatal to the bills just intent, should
be attempted; and to thwart all pos
sibility of thimble rigging in this di-
rection he withheld his signature from
the original bill until the extra ses-
prove it without amendment if the
amendments We're Objectionable.
Now it develops that the corporate
cry of fear Of Tammany was an arti-
flee designed to impose on the gover-
nor to the extent of getting him to
accept the state assessment board
amendment, provision alleged to be
in conflict with the constitutional re-
quirement that assessments for taxa
ton can be made only by elected as
SCISSORS. A lower court has held that
this provision vitiates the entire law.
but the question is to go before the
Court of Appeals. The raising OF this
question by the very interests in whose
behalf and on whose plea for justice
the provision was inserted instantly
suggests bad faith and supplies a
broad hint as to why, Just prior to the
Philadelphia convention, there was
such a frantic anxiety on the part of
certain politicians noted for their af-
fliations with the New York corpora
tions to transfer Colonel Roosevelt
from Albany to Washington.
great deal now depends on the kind
of stuff in Governor-elect Ben Odell.
If he is the right man in the right
place he will stand by his predecessors
actions and fight the battle for fair
play through to a finish.

difficult problem Of all. 1t Is especially
difficult in our cities and for that rea-
son the young man who proves his
ability to solve It strongly fortifies his
claims upon the confidence OF those
about him.
Not every young man who fulfls all
these tests will succeed in reaching the
heights. At the best business Is full OF
uncertainties. and where chance lifts
one good man ZIP 1t Is just as liable to
throw another good man down. Nor is
chance alone at fault. Some good men
well fitted for subordinate positions
lack the iron In their blood TO take per-
sonal command. In that case success
consists in knowing ones capacities
Yet upon the whole the bright and
clean young man who Is not afraid to
work, both with his hands and his
brain, and who works intelligently, TO
a definite purpose, has today unbound
ed opportunities Of advancement.
Every employer Is looking for him, ana
the demand far exceeds the supply.
