CHINESE
VIEW

The causes of the present aRei-for-
eign revolt in China are intelligently
discussed by Chicago Chinaman, Y
P. Cheng, a graduate of the Univer-
sity of Michigan Speaking of the sit
uation he says:
1T may be true the Chinese are not
progressive people and they are slow
to perceive the full value of improve
ments. II is true cur country Is rich
in natural wealth, and my people see
foreigners come into the land, taking
unto themselves what they call
spheres OF influence and then behold
the results. The intruder develops
our country In sundry and divers
ways. The natural wealth is taken
from the ground or mountain. But OF
every 800 of this wealth the China
man gets not more than $40, and the
balance, or $50. goes to the foreigner.
The foreigner spends comparatively
no more money in our country than
the Chinese spend here. yet there they
make many fold more than the people
of the land. while here the Chinaman
Ia still the under dog.
"The Chinese have had demon
strated to them in a thorough and
practical manner by the improvements
OF foreigners that their natural re-
sources can be developed and add great
wealth to the nation.
They have become enyious OF the
intruders who carry away the wealth
under their eyes with little ceremony
and no apologies.
The Chinese want their country de-
yeloped, but they wish to wait for the
time when it can be done solely by
Chinese, who will reap the full re-
wards of their labor without seeing the
those who have usurped the rights of
others to gain the rights which they
falsely claim to themselves
THE Chinese people are simple in
many things. but they are not to be 50
easily fooled after all. They know as

co-Educatton at Low Ebh

A popularity of the attendance in
the public schools of Manila is the
great excess of boys over girls. this
being true of the high schools as well
as those OF lower grade. 1t is mani
festation of the local belief that while
education may be desirable for boys. It
is of little use for the girls. All they
need to know is their catechism. This
disparity in the school attendance OK
the sexes may be lessened, however, be-
fore the next school term. as the au-
thorities are planning for a system OF
compulsory attendance.

Timely Suggestions for Housewives That
should BE Ob8eryed-

The season has arrived when the
careful housewife prepares for the
dreary time coming when the market
stalls offer no fresh fruit for the table
Just now there is an abundance OF ber-
ries that can be had for song and
the days are not far distant when
peaches, pears and apricots will be
here in great profusion. In putting up
fruit sc \ hat all the essentials are on
hand bore beginning work Don't
wait until the fruit is in the preserving
kettle before running to the corner
grocery for the sugar. It is economy
of time to buy sugar in twenty-five or
fifty pound bags this month, for you
will need it right along, suggests
writer in the Washington Star. See
that all utensils are in perfect order,
that supply of new rubber bands Is
on hand and that the cans and glasses
are as clean and sweet and clear az
soap and water can make them. Ii
every time a can has been emptied 1t
has been carefully washed and dried
and put away with its own top screw
on this part OF the work will be greatly
simplifed. Yet even IL cleaned before
putting away they will need to be
scalded just before using. Have ready
a small. sharp-pointed knife for par
ing; a silver-plated fruit knife ground
to q fine edge and kept expressly for
this purpose is best. Have half
pound Of parafin on hand for covering
jellies, several long-handled wooden
spoons, a ladle, a colander, a bright
tin strainer, small skewer or silver
nut pick and couple of large porce-
lain or granite kettles Never use tin
vessels for cooking fruit nor yet iron.
Brass, when thoroughly cleaned. is
pleasant to use, but its expense and the
labor necessary to keep it in good con-
dition preclude its adoption in the or
binary kitchen. A plentiful supply OF
cheese cloth and towels and large
/ mouthed funnel to use in filing jars
| should also be in readiness. The size
! of the cans to be used may depend
largely on the size of the family. F'ol
a small family the pint-sized jar is best
for nearly everything, taking pains tc
select those with wide-mouthed tops
| Half-gallon jars will be found useful
for large whole fruits.-Exchange

there Is 40 much smoke there must

It Is reported that ex-senator f'o
&. Abel, in speech In johnston
county. on the 10Th inst, said:
SHOW Me AN EDUCATED MGR"
ANDI WILL SHOW YOU A DAMNED
RASCAL; THAT A WHITE MAN Who
VOTES AGAINST THE AMENDMENT IS
NO BETTER THAN A NEGRO.
White man, what do you think
OF thisi n it is true, and we fear
it Ia more than true, whittier are
we drifting:
Now, according to Mr.. AbePs
logic, the unaducated negro ia the
only raspec'cd, onest negro. fet'
Ne. Abel's party axis the honest

TO vote, but to hold Office even over

honest, trusty and ignorant negro,
and thu uneducated white man
shall not vote and hold office. Do
you want that kind Of conditions In
North Carolina9 II so, vote for the
amendment and for the Democ, attic
party.
We are constrained to stop right
here and remark that If it was not

be some hope Of reaching the sober

their ancestors and an honor to

It Ia also reported that at the
anne time and place, the sheriff OF
Johnson county made a spe CHI. lie
doutless took up The howl where
Abel left 1t. He doubtless had In
mind what Abel said, viz: THE
white man who votes against the
amendmant was no better than q
negro At least, the Sheriff made
no distinction. when he said:
eve do not like to do T.; but
when these negroes come to vot.
We will shoot them down az they
come up to vote"
Now, white man, IL the sheriff said
this, you can see what the machine
wants. A this Ia a threat. 1t IL

keep them from the polls. 1t may
