Mr.. WI Ting-Fang, the former Chi
nese minister to the United States, is
sustaining in China the reputation for
humor which he had in this country.
AT meeting in Canton, China, of
1.-THE Natural Feet Society,"" the ex-
minister remarked that he had never
allowed any daughter of his to bind
her feet Then he added, "To be sure,
! have never had any daughters" AS
Mrs. WI contributed one hundred dol
ars to the funds of the society, her
husbands joke probably had an appre-
eiative audience.

The limitation of offspring when pa
rents are competent to marry is as yet
a question for the parents to determine
themselves. Poor people in our over
crowded cities who allow themselves
the luxury Of six or eight children
when they know their income is not
sufficient to properly feed, clothe and
shelter them are positively cruel. The
ambition Of man of small means
should be to rear two children, in
stead Of ten, as heretofore, and give
his children an opportunity to taste a
few Of the good things of life. Let
the rich have large families. They
ought to have them, for they have the
means IT, provide for them. President
Roosevelt can well afford to advocate a
multitudinous household, for he gets a
salary Of $4,000 year besides the
income from an independent fortune.
We wonder how he would enjoy his
own advice If he had a dozen children
and was getting So a day. Circum-
stances alter cases nightly.

The number Of immigrants in 1902
was 64S,413 For the fiscal year Of
1908, ended June 80, the number had
leaped to S57,048. This is an increase
in twelve months Of 20S,573 and Is a
jump of 80 per cent. If this rate is
maintained the number of immigrants
for the next fiscal year will be much
more than 100000. Even should the
rate of increase fall to 25 per cent,
which is not likely, the 100000 mark
In the flood of aliens to our shores will
be passed.

No other government in the world

quent and detailed information about
crops as the United States furnishes
to the farmers of the country in its
monthly crop reports nor Is there any
other country which could furnish re-
ports so diversified and, from the point
Of view Of all the people, SO hopeful.
Size is In itself often, perhaps usually,
an element Of strength This is as
true of country as of an individual;
but the strength Of the United States
lies more in differences of soil and va
riety of climate than in mere extent
Of territory. These differences mean
diversified products-a fact which the
crop reports bring out at glance-and
therefore reduced liability of wide
spread suffering through local crop
failures. If there is country on the
face Of the earth where famine is
absolutely impossible, this is it. In
ordinary times we raise not merely the
food we ourselves need, but a large
share also Of what Europe eats. Our
ration Is not confined to one or two
things, but consists Of wheat, both
winter and spring; corn, oats, rye, bar
ley, rice, potatoes, and many kinds of
fruit; beef, mutton, poultry, pork, milk,
butter and eggs. Meteorological condi-
tions which should blight or destroy
more than a small part of this great
food supply are almost inconceivable.
At least they are unheard of. And
there remain those other great crops,
cotton and hay, which, although they
do not in themselves furnish food to
man, yet indirectly put food into the
mouths of millions. Sections may suf-
fer as New England has suffered from
drought and some parts of the West
from flood; but these are, after all.
but little patches on the great agricul-
tural map. The country as a whole
moves prosperously ON from year to
year.

| do not consider that any corpora

with this so-called overcapitahzation Is
that the incorporators do not look far

director of the company since its organization.
There was report that James Speyer had resigned
as a director of the company. Robert E. Downing.
vice president of the company said the report was
untrue. Mr. Speyer sailed for Europe yesterday.
and soon after he on the ocean the report was
heard. 1t was then impossible to get denial of the
report from him. unless the wireless telegraph
system brought into use. Mr.. Bowling
answered the Inquiries made to learn if the report
was true. Mr.. Tweed is member of the firm of
Speyer & Co. of which James Speyer is the head.
