STILL ANorHER AGREEnEN,

The announced agreement between the
powers in China, accepted as the nress
dispatches inform the world through the
initiative of the United States. whereby
the European powers bind themselves
each to refrain from any further acoufsi-
ton of territory without international
sanction may be followed by good re-
suits. At this time it is impossible to
discuss the proposal in its different bear
irgs.
There is no restraint at this time on
any of the nations to prevent them from
inaugurating new series of Chinese
spoliations save alone the dread of each
other. Agreements Of different kinds
have been entered into between all or
part of the nations now claiming terri
torial jurisdiction in China They have
all agreed on the maintenance of the
oren door; but so far as relates to the
fun utilization of the opportunities for
trade with China they might as well new
er have come to any understanding what :
ever on the subject. The Industries and
energies Of the people are choked through
the attitude assumed by the powers. No
people situated as the Chinese are ut
the present time could be expected to
bring the resources of the country into
the markets of the world. AS long as
the present condition continues II is idle
to think of developing Chinese trade. And
If there were any serious purpose on tho
part of the foreigners in China to make
an end of that situation it would have
been ended long ago. What an ignob,e

There is no Boxer rebellion There
has been none since the relief of Pekin.
When history comes to be written it will
probably be made plain that much more
of the excitement created over the be-
leaguring of the legationers than we
now believe was purely fictitious, created
for the purpose of offering pretext for
many of the things which have hap
pened since.
We do not believe that the agreement
said to have been entered into between
the powers prohibiting the further dis
memberment of the empire will amount
tc anything practical. Agreements have
already been entered into between Eng
land and Russia to that effect. So also
an agreement has been made between
England and Germany virtually to resist
the aggression of other nations. France
and Russia have doubtless an agreement
between themselves, as two nations
which are understood to be in general
alliance. 1t does not matter of course
that implied sanction is given to ac-
QUESTIONS already made through the
agreement referred to. Those acquisi-

4 F1.ATTERaNG REORGANIZATION,

It was the boast Of the Democrats
during the campaign that, no matter
how the election might turn out, the
Lind administration would continue to
be felt as an influence for the good of
the state, having set UP a standard OF
efficiency that no succeeding admins
tration could afford to disregard. The
validity of this claim could not have re-
ceived a more fatterfng recognition than
1t has at the hands Of the present adj
ganlzation OF the food and dairy de-
partment. It was Maj. Bowler, whose
energetic administration raised this de-
partment from a state of lnaudlin SOM
Violence and comatose inaction to de-
gree of efficiency equaled by very few
similar departments In the United
States. From having been a mere in
Urinary for old Republican wheel horses,

than it has, at the hands Of the present
administration Not only has Maj. Bow
ler's assistant, Mr.. w. P. Connel, been
appointed head of the department. but it
has also been found desirable to retain
the services of Messrs White and Haug-
dahl, both of whom served as inspectors
under Maj. Bowler The retention OF
these officers by the Republican admins
tration is the most emphatic indorse-
ment that could have possibly been CIV
en- to Maj. Bowler's management. 1t
means that their equals were not to be
found among the hungry officeseekers
that were eager to take their places.
But it is also well to remember that the
present administration in thus honoring
Maj. Bowler, has honored itself ana
has given a proof of integrity and hon
esty of purpose, that has come to be
quite rare thing in politics.

GERMANY-A WORLD POWER


Emperor William of Germany has been
a generous friend of the cartoonists for
many years past. Not even Theodore
Roosevelt, William J. Bryan or Senator
Hanna may be said to hold higher
place in the esteem of the average Amer
ican cartoonist than young William en-
Joys in the good will Of the cartoonists
of all nations, this included, Germany,
of course. excepted. That young man
has done many extraordinary things and
has said many more. His theatrical as
sumption of the role of the war lord has
been a source Of delight to all, and of
terror to but the few. He began his i'm
perial career by discharglng Bismarck
as German chancellor. That was a
purely domestic undertaking although a
daring one. His latest notable achieve
ments since, under his direction, the Ger
man eagle has pruned it's wings for
worldwide flights, has been to secure
the appointment of Count Won Waldersee
as commander-in-chief of the forces of
the united powers in China and to order
that great man on another expedition
into the interior of the Chinese empire
IN order to further aid in the "pacifca-
ton of the natives.
The cartoonists do not find as much Of
material in the character or conduct of
the German emperor as they once did.

THE USE OF SUNDAY.

Whether we accept or reject the ortho-
dox theory of the creation; whether we
believe the world was created in six
days or in six hundred million years;
whether we believe in a personal God
or in an all-pervading psychica1 force, if
we were born and bred within the influ-
ence of orthodox Christendom-the first
day of the week-the Sabbath day-ever
returns with peculiarly subduIng
charm. It may be the accumula ted force
of years of Puritanic discipline or it may
be the lurking memory Of the sunny
Sabbaths of our early youth, when our
minds were open to all outward influ-
ences, which brings the heart into at
tune with all that is good and, pure and
beautiful upon that day.
The solemn chime of the church bells,
the procession of worshipers the quiet
lanes, the breeze, unladen with the noise
of industry, the smiling sun, the singing
birds whose songs are now heard that
man is silent, the skies deep blue and
the waving green all conspire to bring
the mind to realization Of the beauty
of the world and the joy Of living. He
must indeed be 'fit for murder, treason,
stratagem and spoils'' who can amid the
calm surroundings of a beautiful Sab
bath day, deliberately commit wrong.
How shall this day be spent? Shall it
be passed in worship which has by
custom become a duty? Shall it be spent
listening to more or less learned dis
sertations upon the science of the soul?
Or shall it be spent in peace and quiet
near to nature and therefore near to
God?
Let not the rule of Sabbath conduct
bind the soul He VINO loves the serv-
ice of the church and finds in that his
spirits food, there let him go. He who
finds in the solitude of the woods or
upon the shining waters, the rest and
the peace fol-, which he Graves, let that
he his worship.
He who finds contentment about his
finds in the open air recreation for his
mind and body to him that should not
be denied.
All that is coarse and brutal should
be eliminated from the civilized Sab
bath All labor and human endeavor
that is unnecessary should cease, but
absolute freedom of conduct within the
limit Of quiet and decorum shouSA be
granted to all. The worshiper who
seeks the pew should be protected from
all interference, but he should not pre-
sumo to dominate the conduct of others
who find their happiness in worship
different, but not less acceptable to the
God of nature
That conduct Is right and proper which
leaves at the end of the Sabbath day
the mind refreshed, the conscience free
and the body restored Rob not the
Sabbath of it's sacredness, neither make
Of it a day OF torture.

ting to both the domestic and foreign
policy of the German empire since this
young man started in to be practically his
own chancellor and field marshal, which
have been brought home to the under
standing Of the statesmen of other lands
with considerable force. With the very
small beginning represented by the ar
rangement which let us out of the Sa-
moan islands and handed them over to
his dominion, William has progressed
since then in a foreign policy which has
given him vast possessions in Africa,
something like a predominant influence
IN the future of China, has extended
German trade materially In the Pacific
and revealed a probable future German
protectorate in Asia Minor. German en-
gineers and railroad builders are work
ing out the great undertaking Of connect
ing Bagdad and the shores of the Medi-
terranean, Constantinople and the upper
waters of the Euphrates. The recent
progression of William through Pales-
tine, at which we were all disposed I'd
laugh at the time, has strengthened
Germany both at Rome and CONSTANT
nople.
Never thought or before as a colonizing
race, the activity of this often ridiculous
young man has in a few years resulted
in sending the German flag into the most
remote sections of the world. MADE in
Germany has ceased to be a joke, and
is accepted as a menace. The shops Of
birmingham display the cutlery Of Ger
many. The money is forthcoming for
German navy. The little breeze which
was famed in the foreign press dis
patches about money stringency in Ger
operations has died out The obsequies
of Williams royal grandmother and his
participation in them have drawn the
English people toward him and his rule
in a spirit of friendIiness which is not

placate France. cultivate Russia, draw
the scattered sections OF the Germanfc
race in the various lands, from Austria
to Brazil, together in common attach
ment to the fatherland. AS bellicose as
Germany's ruler has been in his literary
outbreaks he is yet to be revealed as
seeking solitary occasion for quarrel
with any race or government whatever.
Whatever the future of Germany may
prove to be as a world-power there is
no other nation in the worlds history
which has made such giant strides in an
hour toward a leading position in inter-
national affairs. What it has taken Eng
land centuries to accomplish, Germany
has brought herself within measurable
distance of in a single generation Ex-
pansion is the open-sesame, among
European powers at least. to prime rank
in International concerns. In the brief
reign of Gerrany's present ruler that
nation has shown her belief that it is
through the door of expansion she is, IT,
ever, to secure and maintain a leading
position in the prevailing race for ma
tional predominance.

OF the governor could be made against a

But the state of mind Of Ames after

be possible to give it in extenso. There
was too much Of 1t, and it was profound,
intensive and much drawn out. It may
be classified in condensed form under
three heads. to-wit:
First-'It is perfectly outrageous. Per-
fectiy absurd. Utterly foolish. Disgust

: Second-''Hereafter there will be no
football games. baseball games, athletic
contests at the Y. M. C. A. and the like

games and am going to put stop to

Third-"Just you wait-until two years

terpreted to mean that Ames himself

arm in arm, and bearing the glorious

ancient traditions of Damon and Pythias

voiced the same eternal principles, and
played Jefries and Fitzsimmons with the
campaigns of Lind and Gray. Where

yet they lived to a good old age. We

under the circumstances, but Mr. Kin
near adds that Disraeli came back and
