HARD TO TELL CHlNAMAN'S AGE From the Washington Post.


 How old Is Chinaman? Can you give a good guess? It is harder to tell than the age of a negro. The Chinaman has no beard and his hair is of a jet and glossy blackness, which turns gray only at an extreme age, when Caucasian head would be either snow white or bald. Then again, the Chinese have the most perfect nervous systems of any people in the world and do not wrinkle up with age. They can stand any amount of opium smoking without material injury that would send a white man to his grave or an insane asylum. So you have little to go by. A Chinaman will look 30 when he is 20 and when he is 50. If you ask him his age he will place 1t at least 10 years ahead, for he holds old age to be honorable and among his people he will be respected and looked up to by all his juniors.

From the Selma Times.


 The Age-H Heralds special political prog nosticator had about column of gossip about Senator Meador of Marengo and his aspirations for the lieutenant govern orship in yesterdays issue of that paper. The writer starts out with the very sen sational statement that Senator D. J. Meador of Marengo County is opposing Dr. Russell M. Cunningham for the Dem ocratic nomination for lieutenant gov ernor" It is generally supposed that the first one In the race Is the one opposed. and as Senator Meador has been an an- nounced candidate for that office ever since the office was created, pr. Cum ningham really occupies the position of opposing Senator Meador, as be has just announced. That is the conclusion reach ed by others outside of Jefferson, but then Jefferson politicians have different ideas in these matters from those of the other sections of the state, especially when one of them throws his hat in the ring late in the day and yells out that he is in and that the other fellow Is op- posing him. This writer says that 'it is very generally accepted that Jelks and Cunningham have formed a combination. = Who will be running mate of Sem ator Meador?" The Times Is taking no sides in this fight for the nominations, perfectly contenting itself with a deter imitation to endorse and support the nom- mess of the party. but it feels it right to advise Senator Meador to go at once to Jefferson and prove up that he is being | opposed, and not opposing.

AS TO ANGLO-SAxON.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In your editorial, 'We Are Anglo Saxons," you quote the definition of the term Anglo -Saxons'' as furnished by the Century Dictionary, and then you say: This sweeps in all Irishmen as Anglo Saxons, and as they are not Latins or Slavs, it Is difficult to see how they can be otherwise classified" What Is meant by Anglo-Saxons? Nothing but the de- scendants of the various Teutonc tribes which settled in England. The Irish are not of these. They belong to the Celtic branch of the Aryan or Indo-European family. In the beginning of the seven teenth century, when the first British settlers came here only a portion of Great Britain was inhabited by the un- mixed descendants of what Is ordinarily called the Anglo-Saxons. Cornwall. Wales, the Isle of Man. the Scotch High land and all of Ireland outside the Pale, were inhabited by Celtic peoples.
 Are we an Anglo-Saxon country9 Let us note the various races and nations which sent immigrants to found the orig inal thirteen colonies. First, the Anglo Saxons from England proper, from the Scotch Lowlands and from the angli- cized portions of Ireland. Next the Celts from Cornwall, Wales, the Isle of Man, the Scotch Highlands and from the Celtic portions of Ireland. Then the Dutch. who settled in New York, New Jersey and Delaware, and the Germans who located in Pennsylvania, New fork, New Jersey, Virginia, the Carolinas and in Georgia This brings Us down to the period of the war of the revolution, or, for convenience, to 1s2O, from which time we have immigration statistics. Since then all nations have come to our shores. Let us now estimate how many people there are in the United States who do not belong to the Anglo-Saxons:
 Irish Celts ...................-...lo,O ,OO00 0OO Other Celtic peoples. ................. SOOo 900 Germans .............'......"..... .lS'OO0O 900 Dutch ..'....'.''.'''''''''''.' oOoVoo I.atins and Slavs.. 5000 900 odds and ends .................... 10000 Colored (census of 1900. .......... 9,912 900 Scandinavians ....-..-............... 3,00O000 Hebrews ............,.............. 100000 Total population by census of
 
 Anglo-Saxon population. .......... .12, ,4s1. .ss7
 This is very liberal to the Anglo Saxons. The fact is that they are only a small portion of the inhabitants of the United States. Not quite one-haf of our people are of Teutonic origin while the greater part is made up of Celts, I.atins, Slavs and Africans No. this is not an Anglo-Saxon country. It Is more correct to say that this Is nation in which the Anglo-Saxon spirit and feeling, brought here by the Puritan and the Cavalier. has permeated all other classes and races. and that this Anglo-Saxon spirit is now. and ever will be, predominant upon this continent Yours truly,

JOINT PUBLISHING HOUSE
METHODIST DOCTRINES

A publishing house has been
agreed upon for Shanghai, China,
and it is to be run by the two
branches OF the Methodist church,
es. We would suppose if this is
a Methodist house, owned and
conducted by Methodists that it
woul ddisseminate such theological
books as are Methodistic. To do
otherwise would be like preaching
ohter doctrines not their own to
benighted world. Methodists
should sell from Methodist au-
thors, whether it be in China or at
home, such methods would
necessitate other publishing
houses. Go preach the gos-
pei is a devine command
and it becomes the duty Of the
called to preach the gospel, as it is
written, and all people, whether in
or China who do not
it are benighted. A
colored preacher consistently
said: Il am called, l must preach
His gospel to those OF other de-
nominations who do not under
stand the scriptures the same as to
