That Open Door.

The United States treasury
department has given instruc.
lions TO collectors of the ports
to prev ent the shipping of arms
to China. There could not be
a more fragrant example of
10 cking the stable after the
s tealing of the horse. The par
ticular "open door" through
which China, profiting by her
expe rience in the war with ia
pan, has for years been import
ing munitions of war should
ha We been closed long ago. 1t
will do no good to lock it now.
Even with the door wide open
it is doubtful if the German ri
fe m akers, who have sold China
most of her equipment, would
benefit in the slightest. The
powers themselves in permit
ting certain of their subjects to
give the Chinese the benefit of
their military and technical
training have rendered the ex-
clusion of arms a matter of in.
difference to China. 1t now APP
pears that China can make not
only rifles but cannon in suffi-
Gent quantities and of an ex.
cellence equal to any. The
criminal error which permitted
this kind of instruction is now
showing it's logical. consequence.
1t is exasperating to know that
it can never be remedied; for,
though slow to learn, the Chi
naman never forgets, and ar
art which enables him to meet
foreigners with weapons as
deadly as their own will be es
pecially fostered.-Quincy Her

given to campaign funds and
the uses to which nnlitical
"barls" have been put:
Mules-In 1876 W. H. Barnum
Dem. of Connecticut, during
the Tilden Hayes contest, tele-
graphed to the chairman of the
Louisiana headquarters to "buy
more mules"
Soap-In 1880 Chester A. Ar
thur (Rep. after his election as
vice president, said the Repub-
licans bad carried Indiana by
the judicious use of "soap."
Blocks of Five-In 1884 W.
w. Dudley Rep.) of Indiana in.
structed the local managers of
the campaign to bring their
voters to the polls in "blocks OF
FIVE"
Fry the Fat-In 1884 B. F.
Jones (Rep.) said that if the
protected manufacturers did
not subscribe more literally
they would have to be put over
the fire and have some of the
fat fried out.
Beans-In 1900 Mark Hanna
Rep.), when asked by Post
Dispatch reporter why he was
going to Boston. replied
Beans. / am very fond of Bos-
ton baked BEANS" he added.

was just in time to save his

Quiet Hour Thoughts.

A Christian man is the no.
blest work of God.
Self.deception is the most
common kind of deception.
A secret sin in the heart of a
church member Injuries the
church.
A true and intelligent Chris
tian is always a missionary
Christian.
A lie that is acted is no
whittier than a lie that is told in
words.
A kind word will often con-
quer an enemy when a blow
will not.
A person is always in danger
when he does not feel the need
of God.
Love is always willing to bear
its share of the burdens without
complaint.
