EYES AND SAW NOT

They had met after some years Of
separation and silence. A foreign
country was the magnet which drew
them to the close intercourse OF an
ocean voyage, and the days OF travel
were times Of mutual pleasure. From
present enjoyment and future antlci-
patlons they drifted into past recollec.
tlons and many threads Of the old
days were taken up again.
The journey ended all too soon. and
with promises of continued inter
course the two parted and the man
shortly found himself established in
the midst Of the rush and confusion Of
the great city.
But in spite OF the various interests
which ministefed to his thoughts and
pleasure the heart of the man was
lonely In none of the ong-dreamed
of wonders and attractions could he
lose the recollection of the girls face
or put to flight the constant cry of his

AS she entered the room where he

his lips In the tone of n resumed hab-

feel that there was other work for

must needs demand the sacrifice of all
selfish ambitions which should threat

Still Another War.

Roumania is kingdom that was clipped
from Turkey, and Bulgaria is principal
ity under Prince Ferdinand, that was taken
from Turkey also. The two are unfriendly
and about to go to war, and Russia, in
whose interest they were created cannot
interfere because her hands are full else
where.
The capital of Bulgaria is Sofia, and Sofia
is the rendezvous of a rare lot of political
conspirators and bandits. 1t has been so
ever since Russian secret methods were in
trodnced there in order to kick up trouble
on which war against Turkey could be
based. After the war desired by Russia had
come, and Bulgaria had been wrested from
Turkey, the Bulgarian conspirators con-
tinued to conspire, this time in favor of the
annexation of Macedonia in Turkey. They
organized committees not only in Sofia, but
also in Bucharest, the capital of Roumania.
They extorted money in both countries even
under threats of death. Roumania objects to
political bandits, and she demands that
the Bulgarian government arrest and pun
ish them. This the Bulgarian government
declines to do, and the two countries are
about to appeal to the sword.
AS a general proposition the Roumanian
government is in the right, and if she gives
Bulgaria a good trouncng no one will Sc
riously object, for Bulgaria has long been
the home of conspiracy and crime of a po-
ltical nature. 1t has been thoroughly Rus
sianizcd.

ministration proposes. in other words, to
leave Pekin without securing guarantees
of freedom of trade, simply because 1t
wants to get out of a position that 1t
sought without constitutional warrant. 1t
is in hole, and it proposes to serve Rus
STA in order to get out of 1t.
Mr.. Rockhll denounces the admnistra-
ton roundly when he says: This is the
best opportunity to settle for all time the
status of foreigners in China. If that mat
ter is not settled now the Chinese will be
encouraged to persist in their present pol
icy, ard the powers will have the whole
trouble to thIesh over again every two or
three years. I believe that all the gov
ernments are impressed with this truth,
and l believe most of them realize that
definite and permanent settlement of the
status of foreigners and the establishment
of freedom of trade are more important TO
them now than the acquisition of terri
tory" This is the whole case, AMI it leaves
nothing to be said. The administration
stands condemned by its own special COM
missioner.

HaNNA'S LONG TRUMP

From the Minneapolis Times.
If reduced pluralities in the Democratic
States fail to have the desired effect upon
the gentlemen from whom Mr.. Hanna be-
lieves he has a right to demand financial
backing, the willy manager has another
card to play. He will calmly venture the
opinion that the tariff is sadly in need of
revision In fact, the people seem to have
grown weary of the trust-fostering brand
of protection under which they are now
living. If the Democrats are successful
such Encouragement of schedules as will
make trouble for the protected industries
is inevitable, and whether they win or not
a plan of tariff reform will be submitted
to the Republican House and Senate eau
cuses at the opening of the short session
in December. That surely ought to bring
them to terms, and under the Hanna code
of political ethics it is a fair proposition
If protection is worth anything it should
be paid for.

CHRISTIANITY MOVES ONWARD
from the Saturday Evening Post

FROM the saturday Evening Post.
If any one thinks that this outbreak will
stop or even halt the growth of Christian
ity he is very much mistaken Look for a
moment at the wonderful figures of nine
teen centuries! The number of converts on
the Day of Pentecost was only 5000; at the
eend of the first century it reached only
100000. Even at the close of the tenth
century there were only 50,000OO0 Chris
tians in the world. Come a little further,
to the days of Luther in the fifteenth CEN
tury, and We find only one hundred mil
lions. But begin with 1900, and for every
year of this century we have an increase
OF over two millions, until today there are
are in the world nearly six hundred mil
lion Christians. Seventy years ago the BIZ
ble was read in only fifty languages and
dalects-today there are 3O0
AT the height of her greatnes Imperial
Rome ruled one hundred and twenty mil
lion people. Today Christian nations gov
ern eight hundred million people. The
whole spirit of modern law and order and
progress is in the growth of Christianity,
and neither life nor money nor distance nor
zone is an obstacle to its steady and in
evitable conquest of the entire world. New
er was it more vigorous than today

She will call her structure La Grande. 1t
will be strictly fire-proof throughout. Ev-
erythins that human ingenuity can sug
gest will be done to render life secure. 1t
will be equipped with every known modern
convenience. A special feature will be

in the cellar. Pure water from an artesian
well on the premises will be supplied
throughout the building.

Russia Second "Me Too."

The concert of the powers is hopelessly
broken. England, Japan and the triple al
lance will stay in Pekn until all their de-
mands are complied with. Russia desires
to withdraw from Pekin because she has
all she wants in Manchuria. Taking ad-
the towns of that province, and she pro-
poses to hold them. Her "me too, France,
of course, supports her, and the United
States also supports her.
The administration supports Russia be-
cause it wants to back out of an unconsti-
tutional position before election day in
November. Special Commissioner Rock
hill-Wiliam Woodville Rocl1hill himself

other words, the administrators special
commissioner says the administration went
to war without consulting Congress.
Mr.. Rockhill thus explains the situation
This has been a deliberately planned
movement on the part of the Chinese gov
eminent to expel all foreigners. The de-
crees printed in the Imperial Gazette
prove this. The movement has been prac-
tically successful, since every foreigner In
the interior has been expelled to seek safe
ty in the treaty ports The imperial gov
eminent merely utilized the Boxers as con-
venient accessories to its schemes" AS
Minister Conger was disciplined for utter
ing similar views it remains to be seen
what will be done to the administration
special commissioner
But more important than all this is the
securing of trade opportunities in all
China. The administration has become a
second me too to Russia, and Russia
has no trade to consider, and she holds Sc
curely Manchuria, which she does not pro-
pose to leave in Chinese hands. The ad-

Many People and Representatives.

Thirty cities each containing a population
of 100000 or over present a combined popu-
latlon of 1s.24s,S15, or over one-sixth of the
country. These thirty cities show gains
that average about 30 per cent. Such a
gain throughout the country would make
the total populati ton S1,40s,92 but it is
well understood that the percentage of
gains will be lower outside of the thirty
cities, and that the total population will
not exceed 76,GOOOOO, and may not exceed
75,OOO00O.
One of the most interesting questions
that will arise next winter in connection
with the population figures will relate to
the size of the House of Representatives.
Congress has one written law and one I'M
written law under which 1t acts in MAX
Ing an apportionment. 1t must give each
State at least one representative. This is
. written law. The unwrtten law forbids
the reduction of States representation.
As some of the States increase slowly
on population, the unwritten law newt
AMY results In additions to the size OF the
House of Representatives. The House that
stood at 233 members in 1910 now contains
1856 members. This increase has been grad
uaL Fifty members were added in 1870,
thirty-two members in 1880, and thirty-one
members in 1890. 1t is a safe guess that
twenty members will be added next winter
because if they are not some States will
lose representatives, and the unwritten
law forbds such losses.
The addition of twenty members would
make the ratio about 100000 1t will not
miss it much, and Alabama will be ready
to face such ratio, knowing that she will
readily retain the right to send nine repre-
sentatives to Congress.

Tennessee Campaign

Chattanooga, Tenn, September 3-John
E. Mccall, the nominee of the Brownlow
faction of the Republican party in Ten
nessee opened his campaign at Tazewell
today. Mr.. Mccall refused to accept a
date with Benton McMillin, the Demo-
cratic candidate, and ]. NJ. Poston, the
Evans Republican candidate, because he
thought such course would be to recog-
nize the right of Mr.. Poston to be on the
ticket. He had very fair attendance,
and devoted most of his speech to national
issues and the Evans faction.
