To be consistent, Democratic statesmen
denounce all the acts and correspondence
of the State Department in connection with
the "open-door" policy in China. AS a
diplomatic achievement it will bring great
credit to the United States, but Demo-
cratic statesmen should call attention to
the fact that the entire proceeding is un-
constitutional since there is not a word in
the Constitution authorizing the secretary
of state to do anything of the kind. The
Democratic idea of an American secretary
of state is that he should spend his time
making faces at other governments.

A DIPLOMATIC ACHIEVEMENT.

The publication of the correspondence be-
tween the United States and other govern
ments relative to the 'open door in Chi
ma will attract attention in diplomatic cir
cles throughout the world. In fact. it
marks one of the most complete diplomatic
triumphs of recent years and adds greatly
TO the prestige of the United States among
the nations. To appreciate its Importance
one must consider the conflicting inter-
ests of the European powers, commercially
as we'll as politically; their jealousy and
dstrust of one another; their anxiety TO
extend their commercial interests i'm the
East and the eagerness with which they
advantages over one another in China.
This is the attitude of Great Britain,
France. Germany, Russia, Italy and Japan.
They all distrust one another, and neither
was i'm a position to ask the others to de-
fine their position or enter into joint
agreement with the rest. In this situation
the United States, with commercial inter-
ests I'm the East already large. and destined
to be much larger. but outside of European
political combinations and on friendly
terms with all the powers, has succeeded
in bringing them into joint agreement
that is conducive to the interests of China.

In a paper read before the BIRTHS
statistical Society and reported IN @h
London Hospital, Mr.. Bence-JoneS
points out that although almost al
people indulge in some form of intoxi-
cant the majority drink the liquor that
their own country produces. The ma
lions of southern Europe drink wine
even the peasant has his flask of thin
and rather sour ordinaire. Those OF
the north drink beer almost as uniVer-
sally, though in the bleakest regions
the preference is for more ardent
forms of alcohol But everywhere 1t
is the drink that can be produced at
home that is the favorite drink OF the
people.
The amount of wine that is drunk
head in understanding countries is
amazing. In France the consumption
per capita is "a gallons year, while
the average Italian drinks 20 gallons
annually and the average Spaniard Ii.
But in mere quantity the beer-drinkers
far exceed the wine-drinkers. Thus
the annual consumption of the United
Kingdom is nearly 80 gallons head;
that of Germany is q gallons; that of
the United States is 13 gallons. The
general impression is that Germany is
the country par excellence of beer
drinkers, but this is true only Of parts
of the empire. Bavaria leads the world
in the consumption of beer, it's inhab-
itants drinking at the rate of Sc gal
Ions head a year. Wurtembers
makes a good second, with 43 gallons a
head, while each inhabitant of the
Grand Duchy of Baden may be reck
oned as drinking Sc gallons in year
But this indulgence is balanced by a
very moderate rate of Indulgence in
other parts. Taken as a whole Bel
GUM leads the world in the matter OF
beer drinking, it's rate per inhabitant
being 65 gallons. In fact, Belgium
seems to be self indulgent nttle
country, for in addition to this large
amount of beer, it's inhabitants drink
per capita twice as much wine and
spirits as the English do. Belgium
drinks more of alcohol in every form
than any other nation of Europe COT
which statistics are to be had) with
the possible exception of Denmark.
Denmark is not so much of beer
drinking country, though it's 20 gallons
a head annually is pretty large aver
age, but it has the pre-eminence Of
drinking more spirits than any other
nation-no less than three gallons a
head. No other nation consumes more
than two gallons a head. The coun-
tries which take even so much are
France, Germany, Austria, Holland,
Belgium and Sweden. In the United
Kingdom, the Russian empire, the
United States and Switzerland the
average consumption is about gallon
per inhabitant Of course the spirits
thus consumed is for the most part
manufactured in the country where it
is drunk.
