of Burlington. He said in part:
In these days certain things regard
ing the liquor traffic have become axio.
matte and to argue them over to a YER
mont audience would be useless. There
fore the question before us at the thresh-
old OF the 10th century is,-how shall we
deal with an institution which history,
ancient and modern, sacred and profane,
has already demonstrated to the salts
faction of all thinking men and beyond
the contradiction of all the rest, that
1T degrades manhood, debauches wo-
manhood, robs childhood OF it's rights
and hopes; and is the arch enemy of the
home. 1t pauperizes the individual and
robs the government. 1t controls to
pollute, and then defy the government.

these courses without additional fee, if
their courses are allied to engineering.

New York Evening Post

Germany adopts tardlly the policy Of
withdrawal from Pekln, and falls in
tacitly with what history viii probably
call the American leadership. German
diplomacy was committed to the other
policy. The contingent was to hold Pc
kin with the other powers until the
court should return the interior and
negotiate with the conquerors face to
face. This was to deal with the i'm
perial yamen a little as II 1t were not
only fugitive but captured. There was
talk Of the pusillanimity Of withdraw
ing, and the German attitude secured
some recognition as heroic. But as It
became clearer that the Chinese court
was better practiced In the waiting
game, the attitude OF the Germans be-
came uncomfortable and little rldi-

AN IMPROBABLE RUMoR.

A rumor has been circulated to the
effect that the Emperor of China IN
tends visiting Europe next year. In
all probability that rumor has been
started as a suggestion as to what the
emperor ought to do, when the Chinese
tange has been Strengthened out. That
such a trip has actually been decided
on may be regarded as doubtful.
A trip round the world by the nomi-
nal sovereign Of the Chinese people
would be made the occasion OF the
grandest demonstrations and pageants
the world ever saw, at the various
courts and capitals There would be
military and naval maneuvers, fetes
and professions, Each government
would endeayor to outshine the other
in display For the Asiatic mind Is
best impressed by show. The emperor
would judge of a nations power and
influence by the splendor Of the re-
ceptlon received. And the favorable
impression would mean influence
at the Pekln court, to such ex-
tent as this could be secured by the
young ruler The United States with
her democratic ways would stand lit
tie chance to impress its greatness and
power, in comparison with country
with monarchlcal institutions
Whether the emperor would return
home impressed with the magnlhcence
OF western civilization, az compared
to that Of his own country Is doubt
full The experiment Of civilizing pag-
ans by means Of placing them In the
midst of civilized life has been tried
before, and failed. The emperor would
in all probability return with the con-
viction strengthened that our instl-
tutlons may be good enough for u.s.
but that they in the main, are unsulta-
bic for Chinese conditions. He would
return satisfied that the western world
has much to learn from the orient.
That, at least, seems to be the inn
preston of many thoughtful Mon
goians who have lived In civilized
countries for number OF years.
But there is no probability that the
emperor is coming, The views of his
august mother are so pronounced
against foreign influences. that she
cannot be supposed to give her con-
sent to such radical violation of Chi
nese traditions. And the exploits of the
foreign soldiers in China have not been
such as to invite nearer acquaintance
with the nations those soldiers repre-
sent
