It Is said that several protests have
gone in to Washington, since it became

Mayor Hare gave begging lecture
in a local church Wednesday night,
asking for funds to carry on his work.
What he wants for running Canton is
the price. The people, however, are
not responding with alacrity. They
have elected officials who are sworn
to do their duty and to enforce all
laws. The responsibility rests with
the officer of the law, the mayor whom
the people elected and not with any
fellow that happens along. This
thing of paying one man out of the
public treasury and then paying an
other out Of your pocket direct for
doing the same class Of business is the
legitimate result of having a mayor
who hasn't backbone enough to run
his own office, but must import some
fellow to run it for him and fix up the
fines even before the arrests are made.

was commander of the British forces in
China, was interviewed to-day regard
