The Ridiculous Chinese Army.

There was much anxiety over the prob
able fate of Rev. DIR. Francis E. Clark,
President of the Christian Endeavor-
ers, who was in China when the Boxer
troubles began but he is safe. His expe-
rience lends additional interest to his
article in last weeks Saturday Evening
Post on John Chinaman at home: His
Queer Beliefs: His Ridiculous Army.
DIR. Clark writes:
''The army of China is the laughing
stock OF the world, and no wonder. 1t
is synonym for eowardice and not for
courage. 1t is rabble picked up in
the slums, ill-equipped, ill-fed, i'll
clothed, ill-paid, or paid not at all.
Even the Chinese laugh at their own
soldiers
cat recent public meeting the speak
er, an American, urged Christian cour-
age and fortitude, saying that his hearers
must endure hardship and be brave like
good soldiers. When his Chinese inter
prefer came to translate this passage
he interpolated the remark: OF course
he does not mean Chinese soldiers
Moreover, these soldiers know that
they are constantly starved III ratlons
and cheated in arms and munitions of
war by their superior officers. Tons
and tons of gunpowder are tilched every
year from Chinese forts ana magazines
and sold to the frecracker makers. At
the time of the Japanese war hundreds
of government rifles and even some
cannon were in the pawn-shops.
During the early 'Boer' troubles a

some friends of mine at Paoting flu,
near Picking. Night after night the
soldiers marched into my friends com
pound and camped III one of his out
houses. At last it occurred TO him to
request the soldiers to fire salute, so
that all ill-disposed persons might know
of their presence TO this they gravely
replied that they would gladly do so
had any powder been given them, but
that before the next night they would
get some powder and fire the salute at
nine O'Clock. Thereafter, for a week
or more, promptly at the appointed
hour, the welkin rang with tremen-
dous discharge of small arms. But one
night it was omitted, and my friend
inquiring the reason, was told that the
soldiers were out of wadding 1t was
afterward discovered that when the
soldiers had powder and wadding they
had no bullets

QUEER ACTIONS
Alarmed NeighbOrs and Caused
a Great Deal Of Excite
ment.

The attention of the police depart
ment and of Sheriff Zaiser was called
Monday afternoon to the residence of
Herman Mirre, Jr., at 2339 Kimball
street, by the information that Mirre
was acting strangely and that officers
The local police did not have authority
in the matter and Sheriff Zaiser stated
that as no such papers had been issued
he could not act in the case.
1t appears that Mirre has been a suf-
ferer from a disease, and that he grew
suddenly i'll Monday and the malady
left his mind in a peculiar condition.
The neighbors stated that Mrre entered
a barn on his place and threatened to
ignite and burn it. and then he said he
would annihilate the family. Neigh
bors finally secured him and took him
into the house where a physician was
summoned and he was given medical
attention. He is much better today,
Tuesday, and is recovering. The at
tending physician stated that Mirre
had been a sufferer in this manner for
a long time, and that he grew somewhat
violent Monday, creating a great deal
of excitement. but that the dangerous
symptoms are leaving him and he will
recover. Mirre is a well known painter,
who formerly lived with his father,
Hel man Mirre, ST., on Allen street.

HE WAS DOPED
IN MASSILLON.
That Is the Claim Made By Il
Man Arrested Here.
CLAIMS THAT HE WAS ROBBED
Aud That Shortly After He Took His First
Drink His Mind Became "a Blank
lie Paid Fine and
Departed

A peculiar case that is somewhat
mystifying to the local officers resulted
Monday through the arrest of john H.
Lynch, who alleges that he is a railroad
man and that his home is in Toledo.
Officer Smiley was patrolling the beat
on the public square during the day
when his attention was called to Lynch
who was staggering across Market
street evidently not knowing where he
intended to CO. He had just stepped
off a Massilon car, when the officer
approached him, and Smiley asked where
he intended going. The man replied
that he wanted to go to Canton. The
officer told him that he was in Canton,
but the man only muttered that he
wanted to go to Canton. The officer
took him in charge and accompanied
him to the police station. When the
officers there asked him who he was
and what he wanted in Canton, he told
them he would like to go to Massillon.
It was apparent that he had been
drinking and so a charge of drunken
ness was placed against him and he
was placed in a cell till Monday evening
when he recovered sufficiently to state
where he had been. He said that he
had come over from Massillon where he
had accompanied some friends into a
saloon. He drank some liquor and
shortly afterward his mind seemed a
blank until his revival in the police sta
tion. He stated that he had been doped
and robbed of SIS at Massillon, but he
was unable to state at what place. His
condition was such that the officers be-
| lieved his story. He was released on
the payment of 81 and costs.

does harm both in the getting and in the
spending, but when it is not the
principal object it and all other things
will be well got and we'll spent.
Twenty people can gain money for
one who can use it, and the vital ques-
tion for individual and for nation is
never "how much do they maker" but
"to what purpose do they spend?"
Practice patlence-I can tell you that
requires nearly as much practice as
music; and we are continually losing
our lessons when the master comes.
We are not sent into the world to do
anything into which we cannot put our
hearts.
No more dangerous snare is set by
the flends for human frailty than the
belief that our own enemies are also
the enemies Of God.
What we like determines what we
are, and to teach taste is inevitably to
form character.
The worst romance is not so corrupt
ing as false history, false philosophy or
false political essays.
No man is worth reading to form your
style who does not mean what he says,
nor was any great style ever invented
but by some man who meant what he
said.
Do not talk but of what you know,
do not think but of what you have
materials to think justly upon, and
do not look for things only that you
like when there are others to be seen.
Remember that nothing is ever done
beautifully which is done in rivaship,
nor nobly which is done in pride.
In science you must not talk before
you know. In art you must not talk be-
fore you do. In literature you must not
talk before you-think.

manipulators as the remedy for trust
oppression.
But who is to do the ostracizing?
Certainly not those trust magnates who
entertain in great houses, give great
functions and are as much the masters
of Society" as they are of their in
dustrial enterprises. And who is to
feel the ostracism? Certainly not the
trust makers and manipulators of that
other class that care not finger snap
for Society" that are too busy with
money getting schemes even to send
regrets" in answer to invitations pres
sed upon them.
President Hadley's mistake is in
assuming that fashionable society" in
America is founded upon intellect, Gull
ture, birth, achievement or anything
else of the kind. Society amuses it
self with these things precisely as it
INDUCES in other decorative desirabili-
ties. But they do not control it.

inland states and an artificial tariff
monopoly in many of the coast states.
1t has only recently begun to limit
production and to put up prices in the
middle and western states. 1t will un-
doubtedly soon put up prices to what it
considers the maximum profit point. 1t
is said to have had an understanding"
with the Salt Union, which controls
much of Great Britain's product. 1t is
difficult to verify this statement al
though New York salt importers admit
that there was friendly relations of
some kind between these organizations.
Our imported salt comes principally
from Great Britain, West Indies and
Italy. The cost of transportation from
Liverpool averages about SLIGO per ton,
or 20 cents per barrel. This added to
the duty gives our manufacturers an
advantage in our markets of about 20
cents per 100 pounds or so cents per
barrel This advantage is less on the
coast and greater inland If our trust,
as now seems probable, gets what is
virtually a complete monopoly, there is
no reason why it cannot, by charging
higher prices inland, collect the whole
tariff tax on all of its product. This
would amount to "a, ,000, 900 or $5, ,000, 900 a
year. 1t is probably collecting half
this amount at present.
The only classes who have, thus far,
avoided the trust are our fish packers
and our exporters of meats. These
enjoy the special privilege of getting
their salt free and cheap. Is there any
sound reason why others should be
| compelled to pay tribute to this trust?
BYRON w. HOLT.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1900-02-02
A GOOD BILL.

Representative J. b. Snyder has in
troduced in the legislature a bill which
provides that men who desire to vote
on election day, may absent then selves
from their places of employment for
two hours without loss of pay, for the
time so taken, provided that they apply
for leave of absence prior to election
day.
We believe this a good bill, and that
it ought to become a law. Its object,
no doubt lis to give laboring men, not
only greater opportunity to vote, but
to encourage them to take advantage of
the opportunity which they already
have. While it is true that there is no
law in Ohio, which prevents men from
absenting themselves from their places
of employment on election day, it is
also doubtless true that men, for some
reason are slow to take advantage of
the privilege. This may be partially
because loss of time means loss of pay,
which they feel they cannot well afford,
and partially because absence without
leave especially to cast the ballot, may
incur the i'll will of the employer
But, be this as it may, it is true, as is
we'll known, by those who have given
the subject attention that a good
percentage of the laboring men remain
away from the polls, each election day,
which under more favorable circum-
stances they would not do. Mr..
Snyders bill is a step in the right
direction. An amendment to the bill
to compel men to vote, would not be out
of place.
But give us Mr. Snyder's bin first
the rest may follow
