The Chinese heathen have not yet
reached this high point in civilization.
We hear of no lynchings In China and
no burning Of men for crimes real OF
imaginary. This then is the difference
between the followers of, and believers
In the teachings of Mahomet and Con
fuolus; and the righteous and holy Eu
ropeans who seem to feel that they are
specially commissioned to civllize and
ChrlstIanize these people who had a
religion and civilization when Europ'
can nations we're living In caves and
eating the raw flesh of wild animals.
To nations, families, races God gives
missions but he has not commissioned
any European nation to carry to these
children of the Orient a religion which
they cannot assimilate nor reconcile to
their methods of thought and belief,
since for five thousand years they have
had religion Of their own which m ay
in every essential be to them what the
white mans religion appears to be to
him-if not more. The spread of Mo-
hamedanism in China is doing much to
clog the wheels of European mission
ary effort in that country, and the stereo
typed missionary reports OF the spread
Of the religion of Jesus Christ in foreign
lands especially deoeives no one who is
close and critical observer of the work
of these misguided and over Jealous
defenders Of faith of which they pos'

The humanity of the Chinese is be
ginning to assert itself and is made
more manifest In their determination
to rid their land of christian dogs' as
they characterize the missionaries who
are spending as much to convert one

educate one Of our white Heathens at
the South who now kills time and kills
Negroes for lack Of something better to

The recent democratic convention at
Kansas City discovered great pau city

E~Niicutly the democratic campaign
managers will have to take Adlai Stew
rnsou in hand. They have been so
busy keeping the bride of restraint on
their orators of the James Hamilton

they have not stopped to think that
perhaps the excitement of a campaign
might loosen the tongue of their grand
old concentration of silence from Hi

Consequently, Mr.. Stevenson. un-
watched and unrestrained. has sue
Ceedoi in putting his foot in it. He has
come out with a prediction, in which
he says. omphatically and clearly, that
Wyoming is going for Mckinley. He
carefully placed Wyoming's three
electoral votes in the republican col
INN. gay" out his typewriter estimate
to the press, and went to bed sati>
fed that he had done a good days
work.
To the remnant of the democratic
forces in Wyoming this will prove a
bo%mbshell. The state leaders of de
mOcracy have been '%jollying" Hon.
James X. Jones. and others at national
headquarters, into the belief that Wy
