MINISTER WIS Hay RIDE.

Tacoma News. -
Minister Wu. the Chinese representa-

pledges Of his friendship for the United
States, but there are sorce things in this
country which he refuses to stand for.
He participated in hay ride at Cape
May recently and as a result he be-
came sorely scandalized.

ew, Ung Chao shee. enjoyed the novelty
Of the event very much. until the am

civilization OF the western world, In

WI, with admirable diplomacy, content
ed himself with the rather significant
observation that the women Of China
don't 80 on hay rides, II might be bet
ter for them II they did, and II they In
dulged in other American practices
which are regarded by the Chinese as
indlscretlons, But that, after all, is a
matter OF opinion. 1t all depends upon
the point Of view.
This little incident in llfe is likely TO
be seized upon as an argument by the
anti-imperialists against territorial ac-
QUESTION IN China and the partition OF
the empire. What better proof OF the
assertion 'once Chinaman always a
chinaman." is needed Nobody can
ever make an American or even a true
Christian out of Mongol, a dlsinelI-
nation to embrace an opportunity to
hug wiling girl fixes a great gulf be-
tween the American and the Chinaman.
Evidently the only thing TO do with
the Chinese is to leave them 10 their
idols. 1t would be worse than useless
for the Americans to try to set up busi-
ness among people who look with sus-
picion and horror on hay rides, and the
missionaries Of Christian nations, who
have frittered away much time in China,
ought to be admonished by the cireum-
stance that one Of the most enlishtened
and liberal of all Cinnamon was horri-
fled and stricken with shame to witness
as natural and harmless an act as the
hugging of pretty Sirl by a gallant
young man.

Condition of Kansas Corn Crop.

New York, Aug. 2O.-A director of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railroad said Saturday: mo holder of
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe stock
should feel alarmed for moment be-
cause of the reports of damages to
the corn crop of Kansas. Our divi-
sion which covers the state of Kansas,
carries about AZ per cent. of corn.
The wheat crop of Kansas has yielded
over 100000 bushels and is the
largest in the history of the state.
This in itself means an immense ton
mage for our system and for all other
roads entering the state. It is true
damage has been done to the corn
crop of Kansas and that from pres
emit indications the yield will be about
50 per cent. of the first estimate.
The corn acreage of Kansas was large
ly increased over last year and the
yield per acre was expected to be ex-
ceptionally large, in other words, "a
bumper crop of corn was anticipated.
AS it is Kansas farmers will receive
higher prices for their corn, and had
this been a bumper crop, prices
would have been so low as not to have
paid freight

o, for Simplicity.

An old-time New Yorker contributes
to the Sun significant lament, whose
refrain is: 80, for SIMPLICITY" This
writer admits that the so-calied high
society of the metropolis deserves
criticism, ''for it's frivolty is childish
and it's display is barbaric." Compar-
ison of the social standards in New
York a generation ago with those Of
the present time shows an unwhole-
some change. Of superficial elegance
there is more, but of genuine culture
there is less. Wealth has largely SUI
perseded refinement as test of adj
mission to society.
