ton does or does not follow the flag.
me correspondence of the United
States department had recently with
the Chinese governm ent has settled one
question and that is-American war
vessels may, can and will follow Ameri-
can missionaries whenever it becomes
necessary to insure their safety. This
decision is the outcome of action taken
by Admiral Evans about year ago.
At that time he sent a United States
gunboat up the Yang-ste river in China
for the purpose of learning how the
missionaries were getting along in
their work of spreading the gospel
among the people of that country. The
chief object of the expedition was to
gather information that would make
possible intelligent action in case of
another outbreak of hostilities similar
to the Boxer uprising. A protest was
made by the Chinese government
against American war vessels entering
its inland waters Considerable cor
respondence followed, during all of
which Admiral Evans maintained that
United States war craft had the right
to go wherever Am erican citizens were
allowed to reside, this government hav-
ing the right to protect it's people
wherever they are in case proper pro-
lection is not given them by the gov
eminent of the country in which they
live
Recently this correspondence was
submitted to the state department.
After due deliberation this government
decided to stand by the position taken
by Admiral Evans, and accordingly
China has been notified by the depart
ment that wherever Americans may
be and where by treaty with China
they are authorized to engage in bust
ness or reside for the purpose of
spreading the gospel" this government
claims the right to send it's warships.
This is a wise decision and will meet
the approval of all American people.

THE DEsTITuTloN OF DEMoc-
RACY

The restitution of the democratic
party in the matter of fixed policies on
which to wage the present campaign is
clearly and forcibly shown in the re-
cent statement of Paul Morton, son of
former secretary of agriculture, in ex-
PLANTATION of his acceptance of election
as an alternate delegate at large to the
republican convention in Chicago. Mr..
Morton was formerly prominent and
influential man in the democratic par
ty and his reasons for the change of
his political faith will be heard with
great interest by the members Of all
parties. He declares that the repub-
lican party has appropriated two of
the former cardinal principles of de-
mocracy, that of sound money and ex-
pansion. Regarding the tariff question
he believes that the republican party
will deal with it wisely and in fact to
the greater benefit of the country than
would the democrats should they have
the opportunity. Further he says:
zone trouble with the democratic
party is that it comes out with new
paramount issue every four years. First
it is money, then Imperialism and now
1t is the classes against the masses,o or
some such tommy rot, when as a mat
ter of fact there is no class distinc-
ton in this country and the laboring
man of today becomes the capitalist
of tomorrow. like the republican
party because it is the party that
stands for the material interests of
the country - it is the party that has
done things. Then / also have tre-
mendous faith in Roosevelt, who is
square through and through"
1t is doubtless true that there are
many other democrats in the United
States who believe as does Mr.. Nor
ton. It cannot be expected that all Of

these dissatisfied members of democ-
racy will come out openly and declare
themselves as Mr.. Morton has done,
but it is probable that many of them
will express their views at the ballot
box next fall by voting for President
Roosevelt
The internal strife that is evidenced
in the democracy of many states indi-
Gates the great. emergency of views
held by the men who claim to be mem
bers of that party and hold steadfast-
ly to the old time honored tenents of
the party" But little more than a
month remains until the democrats of
the nation will have to frame a plat
form for the presidential campaign
and nominate candidate for the con
fict AT present there is absolutely no
unanimity upon either of these mat
tiers. 1t is safe to predict that what
ever goes into the platform adopted
at the st. Louis convention will ex-
press the views of one of these factions
of the party and whoever is given the
nomination will likewise be factional
candidate. In view of the vacillation
OF the democratic party during the
past decade it is not surprising that
many men of conviction and desire for
something permanent are deserving
that party and casting their fortunes
with the republicans.

HEPsURN's LITERARY TALENTS.

Congressman r. G. Cousins recently
referred to the eminent ability pos
sessed by his colleague, Hon. w. P.
Hepburn, in a most forcible way when
he said:

few know the mans extraordinary ac-
comp!ishments. l know of but one man
man in the country-Gen. Dan Sickles
who can do what Pete Hepburn can,
and that is dictate in elegant and
forceful English and without revision
an article that any of the best Ameri-
can magazines would publish without
the alteration Of a single word. Col
onel Hepburn can do this for any
length of time and on all astonishing
variety of subjects
Col. Hepburn is recognized the
country over as one of the strong M en-
of the United States congress and es-
pecially is he held in high esteem by
all Iowans. However, his literary abil.

not so widely recognized, is as remark

TEN OR ELEVEN DAYS WHICH,

Sioux City Journal.-At noon on
Friday, May TO- the Illinois republican
state convention adjourned to meet at
2 p. m. on Tuesday, May 81. Some of
the. newspapers said the convention
has taken a eleven-day recess while
others declare a ten-day recess had
been taken TIL funny part about 1t is
that both seem to be right. From noon
May 20, to noon of May 81, embraces
eleven twenty-four hour periods.
Twenty-four hours make day.
There is your eleven-day recess as
plain as day, with a couple of hours
for good measure. On the other hand
1T is equally easy to figure out the ten
day recess. The convention was In
session on Friday, May 20, and will
be in session again on Tuesday, May
81. Figuring the recess by days, only
the days upon which no session Is held
can be counted. Thus the first day Of
the recess must be Saturday, May IL,
and the last day of the recess must be
Monday. Saturday and Saturdays
eight, Sunday nine and Monday ten.
There YOU are Only ten recess days.
Consequently it must have been ten
day recess. Persons who got excited
and lost friends over the age of Ann
are urged not to go too deep into this
little demonstration, but those who
can keep their tempers might be able
to get UP debate without serious
consequences,

age to be stampeded for Cleveland it
may more easily be led to nominate
some one who represents the Cleve-
land spirit. We should think there
might be something in the idea of
Senator Blackburn that there are great
possibilities in. Joseph Folk. We don't
know If anyone knows Mr.. Folks views
on the great public questions with
which Mr. Cleveland has been iden-
titled. He may be all the stronger
for the fact that he is not notorious
goldbug. tariff reformer or anti-im-
perialist.
He certainly represents better than
any new man of the present the gen
eral reform spirit that gave Mr.. Cleve-
land his first hold on the American
public. We should think that Mr..
Folk might be strong with the demo-
cratic party, and we should think that
he might be acceptable to those re-
publicans who want to see the cam
paign made on a high level and who
realize the value of strong and crit
ical opposition to the party in power.

MAJ. LACEY SURPRISED.

Oskaloosa Herald.--"Well, that is
news to me-" said Major Lacey when
a Herald reporter called his attention
to the article in the Register and
Leader wherein 1t is stated that Mr..
Lacey is a proposed candidate for
governor of Iowa. ut is matter I
have not given any consideration, and
the announcement Is made without my
knowledge. Besides, the election of a
governor is over year away--in fact.
If the biennial election amendment
carries this fall it lis two years in the
future-and just now am devoting
my energies to the election Of a re-
publican president, and incidentally
republican congressman from the sixth
district of Iowa"
Maj. Lacey is not inclined to treat
the matter lightly, for the mention of
a mans name for that high office in
great state like Iowa is, In itself an
honor; yet he is not DISPOSED to let
anything come in the way of another
strenuous fight like the five or six he
has made against the opposition In re-
deeming the sixth district from the
depths Of democracy and populism.

self taught, "a; home taught, ITS; with
common school training only 1866;
with high school training 1,627; with
college training, 7,709 of whom 6,129
were college graduates. That is:
From the 1,757,023 Of class / no
notable reported; from the 12,054,335
of class came 1858, one for every
1872, GA of these report themselves
as self taught; 27S as privately
taught; from the 57,432 of class 8
came to 1,627. one for every 404; from
the 825,613 of class 4 came 1903, one
for every AZ.
1t thus appears that from 1900 to
1870 the uneducated boy in the United
States failed entirely to become not
able in any department of usefulness
and reputable endeavor as to attract
the attention of the Who's Who edit
ors, and that only "a self taught men
succeeded; that boy with only a
common school education had in
round numbers one chance in 5000,
that a high school training increased
this chance nearly % times; that col
lege education added gave the young
man about 10 times the chance of a
high school boy and 200 times the
chance of the boy whose training stop
ped with the common school; that the
A. B. graduate was pre-eminently sue
cessful and that the self educated man
was inconspicuous.
The above classifications are based
on the fullest statistics ever obtain
ed and all necessary estimates have
been made by the government ex-
perts. There is no question but that
other circumstances had some effect
on the success of these men, but when
all reasonable allowances have been
made, the information presented by
the above statistics compels the con-
clusion that there is great potency in
education as it increases the oppor-
tunities of it's possessor to attain large
success in after life.

ERUssIA,s HOSPITAL TRAIN.

The departure of Russias new hos
pital train from st. Petersburg on
Thursday marks an epoch in the pro-
gress of nations in caring for the sick
and wounded soldiers in time of war.
This railway hospital, the finest ever
constructed, consists of two sections.
The first is composed of fourteen am
bulance cars fitted with every appli-
ance for the care and comfortable
transportation of the sick and wound
ed.
The front section contains two oper-
ating rooms, tiled interiors, capable of
being instantly cleansed, disinfectants,
stores, instruments, bandages and adj
Unstable operating tables. These cars
are intended to be detached from the
train and sent to various points where
they will be of the most use.
The remainder of the train contains
library, chapel. bathrooms, including
special electric bath, X-ray, car with
dynamos and all apparatus and a
kitchen car in which the food OF all the
patients is prepared. There are also
cars containing dispensary, steriliz-
ing and disinfecting apparatus, water
distilling plant and ice manufacturing
machinery.
AS much of the fighting in the far
east will doubtless be done alone the
line of the Siberian railway this train
will be of great assistance in giving
the Russian sick and wounded the best
possible care. The train is the gift of
the czarina and she also has provided
$500 monthly for the purchase of deli
cacies for the sick.

THE PANAMA CANAL HALF BUILT

Ringgold Record.-For something
like seventy-tive years we have been
talking and planning about building
an isthmian canal. In the meantime
a great lot of rubbish has gathered
around it. The last session Of con-
gress industriously gathered up near
" all the rubbish and carted 1t away.
Secretary Shaw has actually paid
$40, 900, 900 on the contract and to Sc
cure the right of way. and the chief
engineer of the great enterprise, John
Findley Wallace has been selected. All
things are now ready to begin the
work.
An old theological writer solemnly
remarks when discussing the subject
that when the Israelites in Solomon's
day were ready to build the temple, the
work was half done. BY similar reas-
oning we now have the isthmian canal
half completed. That is doing right
well and it is a pleasant way to look
at the matter.

STAMPEDE AT ST. LOUIS.

Minneapolis Tribune.-It seems to
us that the democratic national con-
vention at st. Louis will be ripe for a
stampede for somebody. Evidently
the convention is going to meet with
out any candidate having very
strong lead. Certainly there is no
promise that any candidate is strong
enough to be nominated without q
prolonged struggle. The tendency OF
a prolonged struggle is to harden sim
cere but concealed preferences into
action; to bring strong undercurrents
to the surface and overcome the light
drift of superficial pretense. There Is
nothing like the WEAKNESS of a, LONG
and fruitless contest to destroy shams

SUCCESSFUL MEN AND THEIR ED,
uCATION

A valuable addition has recently
been made 10 the discussion of the re-
lation of education to success in the
activities Of after life, by the editors
of who's Who in America" Though
OF statistical nature this information
contains much Of interest. The editors
of Who's Who have induced more than
10 900 men now living in the United
States. who are notable in all de-
partments of usefulness and reput-
able endeavor," to give certain infor-
nation regarding their education.
These men have won distinction in
their various pursuits and the facts
they give will enable the reader to de-
duct an answer to such questions as
"Does Education Help One to Sue
cess?" and What Amount of School
Training Helps Most?"
Referring to the last census there
were 14,794,403 males over thirty
years Of age in the country The
United States bureau Of education es.
Inmates that these were divided edu-
cationally as follows:

regular high school training added,

er education added, 325,613.
