neighbors We're present to assist their
Akron brethren in celebrating the adj
vent of so many new 'logrollers' into
the order.
1t was the successful elimination of
the earnest efforts of Organizer Fuller

After the demonstration upon the
street, the marchers repaired to Tip

were held. The camp has received 100
new applications for membership, but
on account of the failure to get the
policies in time, few less than that
number We're admitted Monday night.
However. it was the largest class that
ever joined the order at one time in
Northern Ohio and the local camp has
received the congratulations of the
state lodge as well as from the camps

All this is. however, on the theory that
election laws are framed for the pur-
pose of seeing that elections are con-
Quoted honestly. and that the men for
whom the majority of the electors have
voted should be indicted into Office
The Goebei law was framed for the
express purpose OF leaving the Demo-
cratic party perpetually in control OF the
offices in the state OF Kentucky no
matter how large the popular majority
might be against IL. The proposed
amendments are designed simply to
quiet the decent. honest citizens of the
state, who are profoundly Disguised at
the law and with the conduct of the
Democratic party. 1t Is safe TO say.

Kentucky will consent to no change in
the law which would permit of an hon.

pie being counted as they are cast. If
this were insured. Kentucky would be
safely in the Republican column. and
the Goebelites realize this too strongly
to ever relinquish the machinery which
enables them to steal the state.

This is what the Democrats have been
saying in every presidential campaign
for a quarter Of century or more. and
1t Is getting to be little too old to be
of much value as stump utterance.

past few years under a Republican ad-
ministration, and the people at large

crisis which Mr.. Towne talks about.

Few Grounds for Hope.

rumors. the members of the foreign le-
cations in Picking are yet safe. is based
largely upon the idea that the Chinese
responsible officials would not dare take
a step which would bring down upon
them the wrath and revenge of the en-
tire civilized world. This fails TO allow
for the stubborn pride and invincible>
ignorance concerning Western matters
which are inherent In the old consefva-
tives who have been among the conf
Dental advisers of the empress dow
ager. and who are acting In a like ca
pacity to Prince Tuan. IL. indeed, he
has seized upon the reins of power.
The conservative members OF the
great governing boards OF the Chinese
empire are mostly very old men. many
almost in their doeege: few of them
have ever given thought or a care to
affairs outside OF the empire. In adii-
ton to this, as has been pointed out.
the majority of them are habitual users
of opium to excess: spend the greater
portion OF their waking hours in hope
less lethargy. and at their best are
dazed from the effects of the drug.
Upon such men It Is hopeless to expect
new Ideas to make any impression.
Cold blooded cruelty, and complete alb
sence Of feeling for the sufferings of
others are notorious characteristics of
Chinese of all classes The murder of
foreigners by Wholesale, under circum-
stances of the most revolving torture,
would cause not the slightest emotion
to the average Chinese. If he felt as
sured that neither he himself nor his
country could be forced to atone for the
crime.
These opium-sodden old officials are

prompt them to such a course. They
and men OF their stamp are the present
ruling powers in the Chinese empire.
1t is the knowledge OF these facts which
makes those who have even a superb
cial knowledge of the Chinese govern
ment and OF Chinese characteristics
look with anxious dread for the true
story of what has occurred In Picking
within the past few days. This Is why,
at Shanghai and other Chinese cities
on the coast, full credence Is given TO
the rumors of appalling massacres
which come from Chinese sources.
The real truth Is known to the Chi
