THE CHINEsE REFORM MOvEMENT

DR.. Thoms, who was authorized by his organ
ization TO state 10 me the plans and purposes Of
the Chinese Empire Reform Association, said
I'VE would like to have all understand that
this movement is a bloodless revolution. We are
not revoutionists in the sense of anarchy. We
not trying to overthrow the Chinese govern
ment by force OF arms. We are trying to hold
it up. We are trying to make nation the
strongest and the most respected in the world
We are trying to keep the country together. We
are trying 10 keep the invading hordes of EI-
rope from stealing the land from under our very
feet and from driving us out homeless and ma
tionleSs the earth. Russia is ready for us
She has greedy eyes country Eng
land is striving 10 gain foothold in the empire
and take our land from us as she took India
from the HindoOS. Germany Is not far behind
the rest of them. There is France pushing for
ward. too.
Right here is the first great problem of the
reform movement. 1t is the keynote OF the whole
situation. How can we prevent this threatened
invasion Of China? How can we hold our coun-
try intact for our own people? This is the an
sWer
THE first step is education after the Western
methods. We must begin by renouncing the
superstition OF our ancestors. We must mingle
with the world. We must cease being a nation
within ourselves.
And TO whom do we look for help I'm all this
To America ana Japan. America is our guide and
our good friend. We are learning her methods
and her ways, and we depend on her for conn
sci and aid. Japan is a much smaller ana
weaker nation than China but she has advanced
far beyond us In learning the WAYS OF the mod
ern world. twenty-five years ago Japan had
made little progress but now Il is ranked as
one of the most enterprising of nations II "a

stitions and followed in the line of thought or

TIMBER RESOURCES OF AMERICA

Across the Great Lakes in Canada there lies

newly developed districts OF Algoma, which are
close to the Great Lakes, il is estimated that
there more than hundred million cords OF
spruce and pulp wood while in the districts OF

two hundred million cords more. A belt at least
three thousand miles long is believed to exist in
Canada between Alaska and the Atlantic.

It is impossible, at this stage Of the
proceedings to discuss the Cleveland
situation with definiteness. What

is to fail, may not be decided until
after several ballots have been taken.

So, also, with Folk, who will not
figure in the convention unless it
should become apparent that Parker
is unlikely to win.
n 1t seems probable at this time that
if Parker can get as many as 425 to-
$50 votes on the first ballot, and that
Is a fair statement Of his actual
strength, he will on thes second or
third ballot get enough more to car
ry him close to 600. 1t will require
SGT votes to nominate. If Parker
should be within Is to 100 of the two
thirds on the second or third ballot,
1T is difficult to see how the nominal
ton can be kept from him.
This is the situation which com

may well explain why SO sly and oily

the prestige of his presence and his
talent at organization to the anti
Parker movement. But German at
the eleventh hour reconsidered and
decided to stay at home.
Two reasons are offered for this
well-known aspiration to be himself
the democratic nominee; and, second,
a fear that Parker could not be de-
feated. Without doubt one of these
reasons explains Germans absence.
The anti-Parkerites insist on the first
one, the friends of Parker on the
other.
