Setting Moody Right.

Among the stories treasured by the
people of New York's east side is one
about Dwight L. Moody, who once
conducted revival meeting at the Al
len Street Methodist church. At the
close of an unusually eloquent talk
Moody said to his audience, Nov,
how many persons here are Christ
'tians?'
Instantly there was mighty stir,
and every man, woman and child in
the crowded house stood upright
Moody was visibly impressed and said
in tones of greatest satisfaction, I'm
all my thirty-five years experience l
have never seen such a showing"
At the close of the meeting the pas
tor of the church took Moody aside
and said: Il say. Mr.. Moody. you
don't want to be too pleased over that
showing. Down here there are only
Jews and Christians; and the people
wanted you to understand there
wasn't Jew among them.' - New

Professor Tyndall used to explain to
popular audiences, with the aid of n
brilliant experiment that the blue col
or of the sky is owing to floating par
ticles of invisible dust that break up
and scatter the short waves. which are
the blue waves, of light. This, as a
writer in knowledge shows occurs
principally at great elevation, where
the atmospheric dust is extremely fine,
while iii the lower regions of the air,
where the dust is coarser, the scatter
ing affects all the rays, or colors, alike
The brilliant fringes of clouds, seen
nearly in the direction of the sun, are
largely due to dust, which especially
accumulates in the neighborhood Of
clouds and refracts the sunlight around
their edges.

Children in the Paola (Kan) public
schools have established correspond
ence with children in the Edinburgh
Scotland public schools, and the let
ters which pass between them contain
much that is amusing. For example,
one Scotch boy is very indignant at
the mistaken ideas which are held of
his people. He says: MANY people,
even in England. think that our male
sex dress in kits, but they are quite
wrong. for there is hardly man in
Edinburgh or anywhere in the middle

1t also is thought that the language Of
the Scotch is bad English, but it is
quite the reverse, for the English Is

The Barton Monitor is another one
that honors with the name OF "detec-
tive" the onewho is employed for the
purpose of inducing people to break
the law SO that the offender may be
prosecuted. Well, there are two
sides to the question without doubt,
but the so called "Spotter" or"detec-
tive" as you will, is not very popu'
lar individual just at this time and
even the real detective with all the
"glory" OF dime novel literature at
his back does not retain the respect of
the world at large when he worms
himfelf into the confidence Of fello y
being for the deliberate purpose of
abusing that confidence. True it is
that the tracking down of a crime
sometimes demands. these extraordinary
measures, but the popularity OF the
one whose conscience permits him to
become the instrument is not neceS-
sarlly increased thereby. Further
more the detective is not usually en-
ployed to induce men to break the law
but to discover the identity of the
one who has.done SO. The character of
the so.called "spotter" is such that
Massachusetts will not accept their
evidence.

HAY IS NOTIFIED.
Japanese Minister Tells of New Treaty
With England.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Mr. Takahira,
the japanese minister to Washington,
today called at the state department
and notified Secretary Hay of the sig
nature of the treaty between Great
Britain and Japan made public yester-
day in England binding the two ma
tions to joint action to maintain the in
tegrity of China and Corea- The as
sent of the United States is not neceS-
sary to this agreement, but if it We're
it probably would not be withheld, for
it is pointed out that the treaty is pre-
cisely in line with the aims of the state
departn ent, as fully disclosed in the
notes published by it from time to time.
1t is again stated that there has been
no joint action as between the United
States and the two powers named, yet
it is a fact that the preamble to the
new treaty might be regarded as al
most a paraphrase of the position of
the United States toward the Manchu-
rian question as enunciated in Secre-
tary Hays note to the Russian ambas-
sador here.
1t is made very clear here by the off,
cial statements that the purposes of
the United States all relate to com
mercial and industrial phases of the
Manchurian question. With the political
phase we have little concern. The SOW
ereignty of Russia or China over Man
churia would be to US an immaterial
issue so long as American ships are
free to sail into Manchurian ports on
even terms with Russian ships; SO long
as American products may be entered
in Manchuria at the same tariff rates
as Russian, and long as An erica n
railroad and mining projectors may op-
crate in Manchuria as freely as those of
any other nation. In other words, the
United States is contending for the
open door in Manchuria, and it rec
pgnizes in this new treaty a valuable
support in its contention. 1t is under
stood that the japanese minister and
the British and Russian ambassadors
here are fully acquainted with this at
titude of the United States.

CHINESE new YEAR.
A Chinese Citizen of Topeka
Explains the Observance.

This is the week of Chinese New
Years In the big centers of Chinese
population in this country big cele-
bration is in progress. 1t commenced
on February and continues for va
rious lengths of time, depending on the
inclination of the people to celebrate.
In China it lasts for 80 days. In San
Francisco it is about week.
DR. Andrew Wa and a couple of Chi
nese laundrymen comprise the whole
population of Topeka's Chinatown. DR..
Wa can talk better English than either
of the others, and yet he isn't in DAN
iel Webster's class as a talker. Dr. Wa
told State Journal reporter today a
great many interesting things about the
Chinese New Years customs, but II the
reporter had been proficient in Chinese
he might have grasped better idea OF
the situation. The fraction of Chinese
which Dr. Wa uses in conversation has
a larger numerator than denominator,
sometimes.
DR.. Wa brought out a big white paper
covered with red and green characters
closely printed. 1t was a calendar, SO
the doctor said. From it Mr.. Wa fig
ured out that next year New Years day
will fall on January %.
1T changes every year" remarked
DR.. Wa-the reporter is translating-
Every third year in China has IL
months, ana JDe QaIe OIL New lear .
therefore varies. They celebrate New
Years day very much in China On
New Years night they have asbig din
ner, and stay awake all night. They
make calls, and the people who are
called on serve candy and nuts. Then
they go to church, you call it church,
they call it joss house.
''They have a great big god there, you
kpow'@the doctor laughed, rather i'm
riousIy. it seemed to the reporter-"tne
god has eyes and nose like a man, made
out of wood. He is the head man, sort
of like the president, or mayor, you
see2
.iAnd lots of big frecrackers all the
time. They keep. going clack-clack-
clack all the time. They give good
wishes. and good words, and leave
cards.
DR.. Wa produced half a dozen pieces
of brilliant red paper about a foot long
and six inches wide, with Chinese CHAR
acters inscribed thereon. He said he
San Francisco who keeps big Chinese
store. They were the customary form
of New Years cards.
I'VE had no celebration in Topeka, =
said DR.. Wa. There are not enough of
us here. In Kansas City there are
about so Cinnamon, and they can have
a better time"
The reporter asked about the well
known belief in this country that
Cinnamon all pay up their debts on
New ears day, and start the year with
a clean financial record. The doctor
confirmed this story, and said that it
was all true. What a wonderful coun-
try is ChinaI

Carrie Chapman Gait, President
of National Association,
Opens the Session of the Woman
Suffrage Convention.
LOGICAL STEP ONWARD
Holds That the Franchise is
Sure to Come.
Movement to Organize an Inter.
national Body.

Washington Feb. 12.-The feature of
the public session of the National Wo-
mans Suffrage association today was
the address of Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait of New York city, the president of
the association. Mrs. Gait said:
Hard upon the track of man suf-
7frage movement, presses the movement
for woman suffrage. a logical step on
ward. 1t has come as inevitably and
as naturally as the flower unfolds from
the bud, or the fruit develops from the
flower. Why should woman suffrage not
come? Men throughout the world hold
their suffrage by the guarantee of the
two principles of liberty and for these
reasons only One taxation without
representation is tyranny, who dares
deny it And are not women taxed?
The other governments derive their
just powers from the consent of the
governed How simple and unanswer-
able that petition of justicel And are
not women governed These aXioms
have been translated into every tongue
and thundered forth in eloquent plea
In every civilized land. Before their
logic the most cherished of ancient
prejudices have yielded, and can their
logic fail at last? More, the world has
put new and unanswerable logic into
the mouths of our advocates.
The future belongs to the book, not
the sword; it belongs to life and not to
DEATH pealed out the voice of Victor
Hugo. The world nodded and exclaim-
ed, True, the sword is passing and the
rule of the book is coming in Then we
may ask since woman may read the
book and write the book, why should
she have no share in the government
OF which the book stands the chief prop
and support and who can answer?"
1.-The president of Stanford university
said: The function of democracy is not
to make governments good. 1t is to
make men strong The world approves
and adds that statement is the clearest
possible definition of the difference be-
tween the old, when men existed for
the government and the new. when
governments exist for men. But we
may ask if democracy is a means of
making men strong, is there any good
reason for keeping women weak, that
we should deny them the same chance
to grow strong?
"a campaigner in the recent New
York municipal campaign pleaded elo-
Quently with the women to lend their
aid. Said he: 1T is the proud duty of
the women of this city to advise men
how to vote, since they have more time
than men to intelligently learn to COM
prehend the situation and every Low
follower echoed. True but if women
are competent to teach men how to vote
why may they not vote themselves?
These are the arguments the world
has put into our mouths. Their logic
can no more be disputed than can that
of the multiplication table. Surely the
world cannot long Withstand the force
of it,"
