CHINA HAS
A FUTURE
Kirk Munroc Says Leader
Must Get Ahead
of Russia.

Kirk Munroe, the author. spoke be-
fore the Young Mems Research Clut
| at Bohemia" Thursday evening on
China" He said in opening that he
| was a writer of kid" stories and not
a talker. He predicted that China had
bright prospects of the immediate flu
ture, and said that the Chinese were a
hardworking, industrious and honest
people. Above all they are not a
fighting nation he said. 'They be-
lieve in moral suasion. They are lit
erary people and inclined, to CONNER
cial pursuits. But they are surround
ed on all sides by fighting nations;
Russia, Japan. France.
Russia requires China for her own
purposes, she needs working people
to tax for her own needs. She has got
Manchuria and is going to keep it,
and is going to get China as we'll.
1.-The trouble with the Chinese is
selves. There are eighteen provinces
and each province believes it is ,suff1-
Gent unto itself"
Mr.. Munroe said that the different
provinces had different dialects. and
needed interpreters to understand each
other
When Japan made war upon China,
is was only upon province; 9TH
er provinces got their gunboats out of
the way Millions of Chinese never
even heard of the war, while millions
of others believed that Japan had been
beaten. THE soldiers are of the low
est CASTE" continued Mr.. Munroe,
they are often of the criminal class,
are nlfed and poorly paid. They have
no ammunition. The Chinese are ig-
norant, superstitious and lack cone
sion. There is no national leadership,
while on every side of her are gather
ed nations like wolves"
France, Russia and Germany, Mr..
Munroe declared, were trying to grap
portions of China, and had already
succeeded in getting a province or two.
The Russians had Manchuria and want
Corea. Germany has one province and
wants more. China does not know
what to do" he continued. "She has
got the Empress Dowager which is
the greatest weight the country has
to carry. She is seventy one years old,
though"
There is hope for China, however,
in the men who have been educated
abroad, though they are living under
a cloud now. Railroads are being
pushed in every direction and these
serve to bring the people together.
The Chinese instead of Directing to
having the railroads run over their
ancestral graves are now willing to
sell the graves at the highest prices
The telephone and telegraph are also
coming into use and the people are
beginning to study English, which is
becoming the language of trade. "If
China gets a leader there is still hope,
concluded Mr. Munroe. but I am afraid
it will come too late, for Russia has
her claws firmly fastened
A general discussion followed in
which Mr.. Munroe stated that Min
lister Conger was the man most looked

to by the Chinese for advice and that
he was obeyed implicitly. He also said
that the railroads excepting the Ger
man and American, are financed by
the Russians

Why not be strong? Why not have

Why not feel well and hearty all the

Disfguring and Troublesome
Skin Diseases Easily
Banished BY
s Celery
Compound
A Marvellous Cure After the Failures
of Ten Doctors.

Skin diseases are very common
with old and young, and some forms
are exceedingly troublesome, and
cause serious designation of the face
and complexion. Eczema, salt rheum,
scrofula, shingles, ringworm, boils,
pimples, itch, and a score of other
disagreeable troubles, result from
sluggish, impure and poisoned blood.
If you truly desire to get rid of such
evils, do not resort to outward treat
ment or applications. Common sense
and the experience Of our frieuds
will at once suggest a blood purifier
system renovator like Paine's
Celery Compound. This marvellous
cleanser soon multiplies the number
of vital red ~corpuscles and fills the
arteries with a health stream that.
produces clean, solid flesh, and firm,
well-braced nerves. Mrs. l.. S. Bailey,
West Pottsdam, N. ", writes thus.
Il had small blotches break out on
my head. and in a short time my
whole body wascovered. The doc
tors called it scrofula. | have had as
many as ten doctors treat me, but
none seemed to help me. At night

and ointments without effect. / read

that the matter go over for considera-

adoption of the report, he said, would
carry with it an appropriation of $780,

the report to convince him of that fact,

read from the Territorial laws to show
that the officers of the government had
the right to develop water for Homo
lulu. The report did not show that the
superintendent of Public Works and
the head Of the Honolulu Water Works
had been consulted as to the acquisition
of these springs. Under the law of
eminent domain, the government could
condemn and acquire this water sup
ply, If it were needed More than that,
this committee gave no estimates of
the costs of mains and reservoirs for
taking care of this water. There was
absolutely nothing in the report to go
upon. What guaranty was there that
somebody would not come in. after the
purchase had been completed. and adj
vance a claim to this water under old
Hawaiian law? In his judgment, the
superintendent of Public Works and
the chief of the Honolulu Water Works
should be consulted, asked to look into
the matter and give their judgment as
to this purchase. Then the Legisla-
ture could act intelligently.
