 Suppose the Japanese should go in- to China and wake up the Chinaman and say to him: We have come with out any guns or battleships we have come to teach you the most valuable thing in China is the Chinaman; that the purpose of government is to help man."

 Napoleon dreaded them because he was man of the sword. Four hundred and fifty million untrained people would give a huge task for the sword, but four hundred and fifty million of unlettered people put In the ways of peace would make a task for the loom, and for the factories and for the farm, that would change the face of the earth. Forty million bales of cotton raised in the United States would be as easily disposed of as the eleven or twelve million bales now raised. This, I think, may be termsd the trend of history. Into this great racial move ment the negro has never entered. He has contributed nothing to its consum- nation.

 'The failure of the negroes fin Liberia and elsewhere makes no argument against the feasibility of what advo- cate. The. effort to coIonixe him were like all other efforts in behalf of this race--it was half studied and poorly planned. It is impossible to pick up the rag-tags and bohtails of any race and colonize them anywhere and suc- ceed; but with the negro race 1t is an absolute impossibility. The flower og the race must go to the colony. Tn the case of w. II. Sheppard. four thousand African negroes were under his iuflu-. ence, and when asked about the relfg~l ion and mode of worship the answen was the same as yours--about Iftera-e ture, Pilgrims Progress and the Bibles about music, Jesus, Lover of My soui,s and All Hail the Power of Jesus NamesNl about government like tho republic oe the United States

And in its place the Celtic wave started from the great fountain in Asia and flowed over the valleys of the Vol ga, Ural and Danube, went as far as the Rhine; pressed on and reached the furtherest bounds of the continent; fll- ed up Spain, France. England, Scot land and Ireland. 9hese were embrac- ed under the common name of Celt, so that the gallant Frenchman, the wild Irishman, the closet listed Scotchman and the Welshman are brothers. The chief characteristic of these people was the spirit of the clan, all it's institu- tions, all its laws, all its proceedings are marked by the maxim of the clan. The devotion of the Scottish clans to the chieftalns, of the Irish troops to their leaders, the French soldiers to their commanders, is a proof of 1t. The zeal with which they rallied around Roderic, McGregor and Napoleon is a demonstration of it.
 This idea was a distinct advance up- on the first race idea of the pre-emi- hence of the state and the Celt has contributed to history the idea of or ganization under proper leadership and recognition of worthy supertors. But he drifted into despotism and brought on revolution, and to check his evil tendencies another wave from the great fountain flowed on until it filled up lhe middle of Europe.

says the Atlanta Constitution.
In a recent speech before the graduating class Of
the Boston Young Mems Christian Association Law
school, Judge James B. Richardson, OF the Massa
chusetts superior court voiced the central truth in
the whole proposition when he said:
'The trouble is not so mach with trial by Jury as
institution, with the composition Of 1.-THE
men on the panel The cases which at the present
time come on for trial before a jury involve ques
tions infinitely intricate, complicated and diff
cult and Of much greater magnitude tnan those
which usually came before Jury 100 or even fifty
years ago, while it seems me that IN Judgment,
discernment and other qualifications the average
jury at the present time is not SO good aa 1t was
then. As to the selection Of Jurors, let me say that
the difficulty is not much in the law, as in the
administration Of it, What chance is there Of good
Judgment, when ignorance, inheeility, stupidity
race and class preiudces and Affiliations with law
defying organizations are Oh the panels
1t is difficult to see how in this country we can
expect that the character Of an institution, whether
it be political party OF the court or the church,
jury, be any better, its efficiency can be
any greater than is the aggregate character and eff
cheney OF the individuals who compose such insti-
tuition; aud efforts made with much hope Of success
to improve any Of them must begin, ] tAink, with
improving the individuals OF Whioh 1t is composed.
This is the opinion Of many thoughtful citizens
who concerned for the present status Of judicial
procedure 10 the United States. The question is
simply one Of the individual worth Of the Juror
his intelligence, his honesty and general character
as known to the community. The democracy Of the
Jury system can easily prove menace to the right
administration Of Justice il the Individual element
is not carefully weighed il the selection Of talesmen
It requires a layman Of keen mentality to decide
case on the law and evidence nnswayed hy extran-
eous and often, unworthy influences, and that he
should be a man OF probity goes without saying.
This gives the strongest kind d emphasis to the
necessity Of good citizens serving jurors and to
that kind Of juror It Is apparent that every
good citizen must hold it duty Of his citizenship
to sit apon Jury when called upon to 50. This
is duty thaf too many ahirk.
When there is q more conscientious regard for the
responsibilities good citizenship on the part Of
those Who are best qualified to fl jury panel, we

mitted apparently sustains the assertion It aps
pears to be the present plan for Mr.. Chief Justice
Fuller to resign and accept an appointment on the
International Board OF Arbitration. It is said these
changes will be made in the next few weeks. For
time, the article says, it has been known that
Mr.. Taft desired to serve on the Supreme Court
bench, preferring this to the uncertainty OF pres
idential contest three years from this date.
During the past several months the newspapers
published to the world that the Secretary OF War
was candidate for presidential hOn0rs, and he was
referred to with degree Of favor by the Republicans
When the State Republican convention was held
short time ago in Ohio Mr. Taft presided and made
the leading speech Of the occasion It said then
that he had launched his presidential boom. This
impression became accentuated when, during the abb
sence Of the President bis bear'hunting expedi-
ti0n in the West Mr. Taft practically acted Pres
ident, Secretary Of War and almost assumed charge
Of one two other cabinet portfolios. Ga account
OF this prominence the public concluded that Mr..
Taft was squarelY in the race. But now comics the
word he is to sci in the highest court Of the land
as its head and thief. This news win be great
surprise prObeb even to those high in the councils
al able statesman and learned lawyer, no one 81
niar with his biography will denys but it is L
matter of some doubt whether be can measure up
to the high requirements Of the chief justice Of the
United States Supreme Court. Mr. Fuller is re-
gaTded as one Of the abest lawyers and learned
judges in this or any other country, and his sue
oessOr will undertake hereulean task to grace the
judicial ermine be has done and toillustrate such
consnmate ability. Judge Fuller is mentally and
otherwise capable Of filling any position in the gift
Of either the President, legislative aud judicial de
partments or at the hands q the people. His
brilliant mind ripened ia he school Of experience
and his legal acumen and wide knowledge viii be
greatly missed n the Supreme Count at Washing

party may look to Ohio in the person Of Mr.. Fora
