1t may be regained, our self respect.
We will have "a conscience void of

Doubtless evil will still continue,

my condemnation as well as under the
condemnation of God. Let no man

removing, but actually placing a
stumbling block in his way.

But really men who talk that way are
not sincere. They know full well that
there are few old topers: that there
are the smallest number Of those who
drink who are not fighting against the

those who only need a clear path to

NEW WATCH ON cHINAMEN.
Uncle Sam Has inspectors On Trains
at Interior Points.

The Federal government employs In
New York state at least five men
whose duties are to board trains at
important junction points and search
them for Chinese who may be Illegally
in this country. One Of these men Is
located in Binghamton, another In En-
mira, one in Rochester and couple In
Utica and Syracuse. They work under
the direction of the new department of
commerce and labor.
While no great secret has been main
tained In their work, there has been
no careless advertising Of 1t, and as
result very few travellers are aware OF
the mission Of the men who enter the
trains and carefully inspect the ap-
pearance of all foreigners who look as
though they may have come from Chi
ma,

II the man convinces the inspector
that he has a right to be in this coun-
try, that Is the end of 1t. Nowadays
the Chinese have been so closely
watched that II one possesses the re-
quired papers he seldom lets them get
out Of his sight.
The train inspectors have been sta
'ioned at important junction points
with the idea that II any Chinese are
smuggled across from Canada and es-
cape the officers at the border, they
may be detained while trying to reach
New York city. The inspectors say
that the business Of smuggling China
men into Uncle Sans territory Is In
creasing every year. Once by an Of
ficer a. the border, the immigrants take
1t easy and imagine that a successful
entry has been made. But disap-
pointment is in store for many of
them In the person Of the Innocent

Mr.. WI AND THE CHINESE BOYCOTT
Il do not know whether there Is any
credence in the reported boycott, but
recalling the attitude Of Minister wa.
am disposed to think that the matter
Is being engineered by him most like

to what China may and can do.
The first saw of it was press dis

Shanghai chamber Of commerce had
declared boycott on American goods.
talked frequently to Minister WI
while this bill (the act Of 1902 was
under consideration, and his position
was just and reasonable. He did not
expect us to relax our restrictions as
to coolie emigration, but contended
that under our treaty, merchants,
students and persons Of financial and
social standing from China should
have the same right Of coming and go
ing as similar classes from other
countries. 1 called the attention Of the
president to this and said that Il did
not see how we could long expect to
trade or do business with China on
any other basis" How can we hope to
enjoy the benefits Of "the most favor

with China, when we refuse to accord
her the same treatment she receives
from every other nation, and which we

AMERICA AND JAPAN.
Il May Be That They Will BE at War
Some Day.

Some Day.
II was decoration day In Washington.
that day that commemorated the hero
ism and deeds Of the American soldier.
Men, women and children thronged the
street cars on their way to the ma
tional cemeteries to lay floral tokens
upon the graves Of the soldier dead;
they talked Of these things as they
chatted. On Pennsylvania avenue, +
street and other streets people were
hurrying on their way to meet engage
ments or to get out OF the city on early
trains. A famous American admiral
stood at the corner Of F and Four
teenth streets talking with a, newspa-
per correspondent. They were dis
cussing the result Of the naval fight
In the Japan sea- AS they talked four
young japanese walked brishly by.
They ranged in age from 81 to 25 years
OF age. cluIet. undemonstrative. yet
smiling and happy. they stepped brisk

an air of confidence that was noticeable
to all. The old sea captain turned his
head to watch them.
wen have to fight them some day
before long was his brief comment.
do you really think so?" he was
then asked.
Beyond all doubt. This victory over
Russia will, am afraid. turn the heads
of the staid, conservative Jap and he
will go good many steps further
than would otherwise have been the
case. But our navy wouldn't fear the
outcome. The Japanese victories at sea
have been won by the discipline and
gunnery practice of their navy. Rus
sia's naval outfit is notoriously cor
rupt. Millions spent by the govern
ment for ammunition have been vast
ed in purchasing inferior goods that
don't come up to the mark and the dif-
ference in price goes into the pockets
Of the drinking, gambling officers. The
Russian seaman is brave man but he
has had no discipline. His morals are
bad and he knows nothing OF .gunnery.
Our naval officers are not drunkards
and they are not corrupt. Our officers
are Just as quick witted as the Japan
ese and our navy is as modern and as
well fitted The Jap thinks quicker
than the Russian, who is dull headed,
as a rule. That counts much In sea
fight such as was had between the two
navies. Togo fell upon the Russians
In a rush and while their thick heads
were trying to decide upon the best
course the nimble-witted Jap was
making the best OF the situation. 1t
was like a prize fight in this country,
in which the winner pushes the night
so furiously from the start that the
other fellow Is really never In It.
"I am afraid that the ambition OF
the japanese will spread at serious
ly rapid rate and that they may next
take some steps In China that VIII

rest Of the world, which will then be-
gin to open its eyes to the fact that

Childrsn's Day at Methodist
Sunday School

Sunday School
RoCKBRTDGE BATHS, Aug. 7
1t has been more than a yea
since we visited here amid thu
scenes of our boyhood days. Sun
day we went to Old Ebsnezer NJ.
e. church, South. To many this
is delightful mecca. Sunday
morning was Children's Day al
this historic old church and apart
from the regular programme il
was supplemented by we'll prepared
recitations. D, A. Hart lie the
superintendent and w. NJ. Much
OILS, assistant, Oliver M. Tolley,
secretary.
Rev. G. H. Echols, the pastor,
delivered short and interesting
address. The entire programme
was we'll rendered and reflects
credit upon the management OF
this interesting Sunday school.
The spirit of MethodIsm is yet
alive at Rockbridge Baths. While
it has an aggressive opposition yet
Wesleyanism will live and proper
here. The seed sown by Rev.
Isaac G. Michael and Rev. o. w.
Lusby land others we could men,
tion) has sprung up and borne
fruit; living and abundant evil
dense Of this exists, While we miss
such faces as Wesley M. Shaw and
L. 7. Tolley, who have gone to
their reward, we see j. M. Full
wider, D. A. Hart, w. NJ. Nuchols
and others still keeping up the
good fight. May they live long
and prosper and never grow
weary.
In the audience Sunday we saw
Mrs. S. S. Carter now of Sweet
Water, Ala. Mrs. Carter was for
merly Miss Jennie VanDerveer
and we remember when she was a
good church worker among the
Methodist people here. She now
is the guest of her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. j. H.VanDerveer. Miss
Mayme Anderson presided at the
organ on this occasion. She, too,
a few years ago was an industrious
worker in the Methodist church
here. She now lives in Richmond,
Va, with her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. K. w. Anderson. Other in
cidents of interest we could men,
tion but we pass on, save to say
that if the Baltimore Conference
will treat these people here as they
ought to-and send the next Con.
ference year man who can give
all his labor to this point and sur
country, a self sustaining
circuit can be established here.
This suggestion does not reflect
upon the present pastor, who has
700 large a circuit and 10 Overwork-
ed. 1t is not possible for him to
dc the work that needs to be done.
What is most needed, the pastor
always here to go in and out
among his people. G.
