tegrity and independence. The result
was that after a long series of confer
ences between the Chinese Minister at
Toxic and the head of the faculty of law
at the Imperial University, concerning
the teaching OF law in China, the Pekin
| Government found that while it was
impossible to get the required professors
from Japan it might accomplish the
purpose by sending large number 4
students from China to carry on their
studies in that country.
No time was lost in carrying out the
arrangements entered into, and in July
last eighteen students from the province
of Kwantung, eghty-three from SEE
Chuen, and siXty-two from the two Hus
were sent to Japan by the Chinese Gov
eminent. In the month OF August rs
many more from the provinces Of Fokien
ana Szechuen followed, and the stream
has kept up so that there are now at
Toxic more than six hundred Chinese
law students preparing to form the
future judiciary of China
In the higher education the reorgan
ization of the Chinese provincial colleges
has been carried ont by Japanese pro-
fessors The only foreign languages
taught are Japanese and English, particu-
lar attention being given to the former
and the Chinese professors, except for
their Chinese classical studies, acquired
all their learning in Japan. The few
foreigners filing the chairs Of mathe-
mates or chemistry in the Chinese col
leges are Japanese. The japanese have
literally trlumphed all along the line,
nearly all the Chinese provinces, but not
ably those that have been longest in con-
tact with Westerns. having systematically
put aside European scientific and techni-
cal teachings and adopted the Japanese.
Such has been the result Of the European
policy of treating the Chinese and China
ms n people and country to be exploited,
and of the wonderful success that has
attended the Japanese since the begin
ming Of their war with Russia.
OF course, the practical consequences
for China of all this will not be felt for
years yet, but they arc sure to be i'm
portant The eviction of the West, with
the memories of its opium wars, its mill
tant missionary enterprises and the
impositions Of all kinds on defenceless
people, has at last begun; and unless
those European nations that have fast
ened themselves on the vital points of
China and burdened it with indemnities
and debt have the wisdom TO recognize
facts in formation. their exit from
ChiDa as dominating powers may be ac-
companied by circumstances unfavor-
able TO friendly relations. What some
call n-Mongolanism is on the way to
becoming determining factor in the
political and commercial future of
eastern Asia; and. with its developing
scientifc intellectually and military
and naval power, it is establishing
new world force, which Europe in its
present condition has good reason to
take into serious consideration

Farm and Factory,

The comparative development Of our
agricultural and mechanical industries

Mechanical development has far out
stripped agricultural progress. This re-
suit may be attributed TO two special
influences. Growth in the domain Of
agriculture is limited, broadly speaking
to mere increase in quantity produced,
and total value increases only along
the line Of increased bulk. Thus, the
farm value of the 1904, 255 900 bushels
OF corn grown in 1870 is given as $780,
$40 45O, while the 2,4s7, $50, o3i bushels
OF 1904 are valued at s.. oS7, 46l ,44o. The
buahel price in 1870 was 4o4 cents, and
that OF 1904 was All cents. A similar
condition appears in our other staple
agricultural products
In the department Of mechanical in
dustries the case is quite different. While
It is true that in 1870 there was no such
thing as the dollar watch, which is now
marketed in scores OF thousands, it is
also true that the demand for watches
Of a cost exceeding $50 and the produc-
ton of them have increased greatly
An endless variety Of new appliances
have been invented and manufactured,
many OF them costly, and coincidently
there has been a great increase in the
demand for articles OF long established
use, and also for articles of larger value
Take, for example, railways and their
equipment. Steelreils, giant engines and
luxurious coaches supplant the equip
ment of 1870 This marked development
in quality as well "a in quantity does
not appear, and is not possible, in tho
domain of agricultural production.
Trade and manufacture arc now our
dominant interests, and agriculture is
their handma.den, supporting them,
but also supported by them. The
greater the number of busy mechanics
and clerks the greater the number OF
mouths for the farmer 10 feed. To the
labors Of the farmer the Government
has lent an invaluable aid II has fur
nished him, gratis. selected and superior
seeds: it has Analysed his soil and told
him how to treat 1t in order TO make it
most productive and in many why's has
advanced his economic interests by
means OF appropriations from The ma
tionOl cash box. In his last message
Mr.. ROOSEVELT said that the Depart
ment oi Agriculture has grown INTO an
educational institution, with a faculty
Of 1000 specialists making research into
all the sciences OF production Tho
Congress appropriates, directly and IN
directly, 100000 annually to Gerry on
this work.
While all this is being done for he
farmer, very little is done in the way OF
research into the sciences OF Gistrlbu-
ton IN the interest OF our merchants

THE Hon OSCAR S. STRAus discusses in
the Jeuiqh Comment of Baltimore the ques-
ton Of Jewish colonization in East Africa
on the large territory offered by Great
Britain for that purpose. Before expressing
a confident opinion on it he awaits the re-
port of commission 10 examine the terri
tory and investigate its adaptation TO sue
cessful and prosperous colonization. Even
II this commissions report Is favorable, and
its judgment deserves respect Mr.. SrRAUs
says very sensibly that the fitness OF the
jews in Russia and Rumania for such col
onization and their desire for 1t are ques-
tons TO be settled before any decided opin-
ion on the subject can properly be expressed.
The half million and more of them who have
immigrated TO the United States during the
last fifteen years, at the COST OF much sacri-
fee in tearing away from their old home
ties, he takes us sufficient evidence that they
are made Of the stuff to become useful
colonists. If there were several countries
besides the Unlted States to which OPP
pressed Jews could immigrate with happy
results the specific project Of colonization
in country 50 far away rs East Africa, MIR.
STRAUs thinks would not be needed; but
there being no such sufficient outlet. he
would welcome the British offer of terri
tory. provided the conditions there are found
to be favorable
That is, the colonization scheme is a prac-
teal rather than sentimental matter
Jewish colony in East Africa will not be
built up considerably unless colonists are
invited by positive advantages. The eX-
perence OF the jewish immigrants 10 this
country has been that here they have unre-
stricted opportunities OF Advancement. and
consequently they have come hither during
the last fifteen years in great numbers.
Speaking of the matter Of the anti-Semitic
prejudice which they still encounter Mr.
SrRAUs concludes his paper by saying
phllosophically:
It matters lltllc II there be a remnant of slim.
ulatlng social prejudice lef,, Some people have
Itilc beside prejudice In their mental equipment.
and It would he very unchhritAbe TO expect them
TO give that up In advance Of their acquiring more
light and rcason. THIS 100 will come. and In the
meantime their disadvantage TO those who hug this
prejudice is greater than TO the Jews whom ;hcy
may dislike because they are jews"
That there is truth in this will be acknowl-
edged even by people who have the race
prejudice Of which Mr. SrRAus speaks;
but tho Jews themselves are getting along
too well 10 be troubled by It.

The President has not yet definitely
challenged Congress to combat his belief
that the adjustment of tariff rates is
both needed and desired by the business
interests of the country, but he tells
some of his callers that the question has
not been shelved; and there is now an
intimation that he is disposed to focus
the issue by summonine an extraordinary
session of Congress in the spring. II is
very doubtful however, if Mr.. RoosE-
WELT will go so far as to essay distinct
policy of coercion in his attitude toward
Congress Such policy would suggest
too strongly the old adage about leading
the horse to water without the power to
make him drink.
Another report is that he is "seriously
considering the advisability of calling
Congress together some time next sum
mer, possibly about June l.; but if he
has such a purpose it is open 10 serious
objections. The extra session should be
Of an earlier or Of lator date. The Con-
gress to be so assembled would include
many new members little familiar either
with the question to be considered or
with the methods established for its
consideration. The summer months are
hot and trying in Washington, and body
drawn together against its wishes, under
such conditions, would not be likely to
strain itself to advance the plans of the
President. If he desired to suppress the
movement for time, there might be no
better way of doing It.
A wiser way would be to call an eX-
traordinary session much earlier, even
as early as April l. or a commission of
experts might be appointed at any time
to consider such items as are most clearly
open TO adjustment and submit an adj
visory report TO an extra session in the
autumn or to the regular session Text
winter. A process Of elimination would
reduce to a Coz paratively small number
the items open 10 possibly advantageous
adjustment. and a report on such items,
made by men who have some knowledge
OF commercial matters. might be val
liable help to Congress.
Commercial interests shrink from tariff
regulation partly through fear that their
special lines may be adversely affected.
but perhaps more largely because of
doubt of the competence of those to
whom the revision Is committed. A board
of recognized authorities appointed to
make specific recommendation to Con-
gress would probably receive more of
their respect and confidence.
