Good Time at BOgue Chitto.

Correspondence Summit Sentinel
On Sunday, the 18th, Rev. A. F. Wat
kins, D. D., president of Whitworth
College, began aiding the pastor in re-
vival services at the Methodist church.
He was already we'll known and be-
loved. The attendance was good from
the start and grew better to the close
of the revival Monday night the Dist.
During these beautiful nine days the
people gave steady and close attention
to our meetings. Stores were closed
so that even the day services, led by
the pastor, were attended largely. All
Christians co-operated, helping in the
singing and many ways.
DR.. Watkins was at his best, and
that is saying much. Such original,
pithy, pointed and true preaching is
seldom heard anywhere. He won
many new friends and admirers. Many
came for prayers. Eighteen names
were added to the church rolls. Fifty
or sixty persons said they were blessed
by the meetings.
Those who think Bogue Chitto peo-
pie lacking in orderly conduct should
have been present to see the unusu-
ally quiet and attentive audiences
that attended both night and day.

Our Miss Kagsdale.

In giving an account of the first
teachers recital at Belhaven college,
for this session, the Clarion Ledger
says:
A decided hit was made by Miss
Ragsdale, the teacher of elocution, and
also new member of the faculty. Miss
Ragsdale is a Mississippi girl and has
been enthusiastically received by
Jackson audiences heretofore. Last
evening she was in happy vein and her
selections were followed by storms of
applause. Combined with sweet
voice and intelligence of interpreta-
ton, Miss Ragsdale is the personifica-
ton of grace before an audience, and
she responded to quite number OF
encores.

very worst crowdDg on that companys ele-
vsted lines occurs in the middle OF the day,
when traffic is light. but when trains are run
at intervals of fifteen minutes and are therefore
damned TO the buffers. What folly and worse
than folly it is to say that 1T is physically
impossible to give every passenger seat when
trains are run ten or fifteen minutes apart.
The fact is, our local transportation compa-
MES have no thought of providing seats, or even
decent standing room for as many or their
patrons as possible. Their purpose is to crowd
as many people as possible into as few cars as
possible and instead Of providing the amplest
TO give the scantieSt accommodation. The spec
tace of hundred more persons lndecently
and dangerously crowded into single trolley
car does not suggest to them the deSlrablllty OF
putting Oh enough cars to afford at least
reasonable degree of decency. comfort and
safety. but merely inspires them with a sordld
satisfaction at thought of getting so many nve
cent fares in n single car with single motor
man and a single conductor. Why use two
cars and four men when one car and two men
can do the work-at the expense of nothing
more than decency comfort and safety! Such

THE FRENCH CHINESE LOAN.

Upon the ground of its Chinese policy, at any
rate, the Waldeck- Rousseau Ministry is secure
And perhaps in making that security so evident
as it was on Thursday last the Ministry has
fortified itself somewhat against the ominous
menace of socialist revolt in case of a mining
strike. A vote of confidence, carried by an
almost two-thirds majority must have some
moral force beyond the question Immediately at
issue. 1t is to be observed that some socialists
were arrayed against the government. 1t does
not appear that they included any of the So
called ministerial socialists. Nevertheless, the
question was precisely such a one as might have
been expected 70 put all socialists in opposi-
ton 10 the government, and the fact that it did
not do so, but left many of them on the govern
ment side must be regarded encouraging to
NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau and as strengthening the
hope that his Ministry will retain office at least
until after the general elections of next year.
The question upon which Thursdays vote was
taken was that of contracting a new loan of
$50, 100000, in perpetual 3 per cent rentes, to
repay the treasury for the expenses incurred
in the Chinese campaign of last year. That
loan will nomnaIy Increase the public debt by
that amount. In fact. however, it will be moth
ing but an advance dscounting of the Chinese
indemnity bonds. The amount Of the loan is
about equal to that of the indemnity which
France is to receive from China. But the latter
is to be paid in instalments during n long term
Of years. Instead OF requiring the benefciaries
Of the indemnity TO wait, therefore, until China
pays her bonds, the French Government pro-
poses to pay all claims at once in cash from the
proceeds of this loan. and to reimburse itself
from the Chinese bonds as they are paid. And
as the loan bears only 3 per cent interest while
the Chinese bonds will pay per cent. the gov
eminent will actually make n profit Of ! per
cent out of the transaction.
This is we believe the first such arrangement
which has been made by any government for
settlement of the Chinese indemnity matter. 1t
may may not be initiated elsewhere. But
certainly the French Government has displayed
III it fine degree OF that businesslke practical
ity which has so often distinguished 1t. The
achievement is gratifying one IN more re-
spects than one. 1t has settled an important
matter and 1t has confirmed the government In
power-both good things for the French Re-

BR CAETORS BEGINNING

Borough President Cantors first selections for
offices to be filled by him indicate that he fully
appreciates the meaning Of the fusion victory
and is determined TO administer his Office on
high principles and appoint only men Of unques-
tionabie fitness TO places in the borough govern
n,ent. 1t will be remembered that in the cam
paign Mr.. Shepard tried to attract attention
from his embarrassing position as the associate
OF Fromme by making personal attack on Mr..
Cantor and picturing him as merely the repre-
sentative of the appetite for spoils Of Demo
Gratis who had been unable TO secure their fill
from Tammany. To such attacks on the SIN
cerity of his desire for good government Mr..
Cantor's best and indeed only effective, answer
is IN devotion TO good government, resistance to
the appeals of spoilsmen in his own or any
other party and complete devotion to the bust
nesslike performance Of the important duties
vested in him by the charter. His first acts
are worthy Of his promises ana the anti-Tam-
many platform, and if the policy so indicated
is maintained probably Mr.. Shepard himself
will rejoice that he unable to help Tam
many carry the borough and put Fromme in
office.
Mr.. Cantor announces that eX-Assemblyman
Perez NJ. Stewart will be made Superintendent
OF Buildings, and that William Martin Aiken
formerly Supervising Architect at Washington
=
architect for the Borough of Manhattan Mr.
Stewart is q practical builder and man Of
character and independence. When elected to
the Assembly he was supported by the Citizens
Union and by many Independent Republicans,
and IL that body was useful member. A man
OF his personal and professional qualifications
is greatly needed for Superintendent of Build
,ngs. The Buildings Department requires COM
piete reformation The commissioners now in
Office have lamentably failed to enforce the law,
as was shown last winter by the investigation
of the Tenement House Commission, which dis
covered that while the commissioners in both
Manhattan and Brooklyn swore that the law
was fully enforced, the most simple inspection
discovered that a third OF the tenement houses
in some sections Of the boroughs had fire
escapes whatever, though the iaw the SUBJ
ject was mandatory. Commissioner Guilfoyle.
of Brooklyn. is reported 70 be a candidate for a
new term in Office. As be was one of those
commissioners who either did not know or did
not tell the truth about his department, and as
a coroner's jury last summer censured his office
for failure to order fire escape required by
law, for lack of which family burned to
death, it would not seem likely that Mt. Swan
strom would make him a superintendent of
buildings He Is the commissioner who tried
to get even" with the Tenement House Com
mission, which made him uncomfortable, by
publishing charges against Mr.. W. Bayard Cut
ting On the ignorant supposition that Mr.. Cut
ting was connected with the commission, and
