If there is any truth in what expert
testers tell us the worlds stock OF
good, original jokes is ludicrously
small-a dozen or two at the very out
side. An early Investigator into this
momentous question. a certain HER
ocles, who lived some 1900 years ago,
put the number in his day at exactly
twenty-one. The researches of Her
ocles probably did not extend so far
eastward as China, so there is no i'm
propriety in asking now whether some
of the jokes which abound in the lit
erature of the Celestial empire are en-
titled to the honor of originality or not.

in This City Is Deplored
by Assembly in Buffalo
STRONG TERMS USED

BUFFALO, n. Y. Nov. 3.-The general
missionary committee of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, assembled in Buffalo
to make its annual appropriations to
home and foreign missions, expressed
itself In the strongest terms today with
regard to the anti-Japanese agitation
in California. The resolution presented
by a subcommittee and adopted unani-
mously Is in part, as follows:
with a sense of shame as Americans
and a feeling of sorrow as christians
we have heard from time to time of the
indignities, insults and even violence
inflicted upon the natives of China,
Japan and Korea by certain classes of
persons who resent the presence of the
particular foreigners on American SOIL
"The sentiment of humanity, not to
speak of internal hospitality or of the
higher obligation of a great people to
those whom they deem less favored.
should ever protect such strangers as
are found to be lawfully within our
gates. even in the absence of the OBJ
legations imposed by the solemn COM
pacts to international treaties.
I'VE particularly deplore at this
time the reported municipal action of
San Francisco, which discriminates
against the subjects of great and
friendly power-action which, II right
ly interpreted by our Government. is
in violation of our treaty obligations
and the more to our discredit because
directed against people who have
shown themselves humane even to
their foes, the people in whose hearts
there had been for dcades a growing
regard for the American nation and
under the protection of whose govern
ment Americans have found favor and
safety.
I'VE are confident that we represent
the entire communion of our church
three millions of Methodist Episco-
palians-and we express our hearty
approval of the prompt measures taken
by President Roosevelt to make good
the treaty pledges of the nation and to
relieve our people at large from COM
plicity in or sympathy with the con-
duct complained of. by which subjects
of Japan. while under the protection OF
our Government, have been humiliated
and this in the land that first bade
their country to rise and be strong in
the presence of the earth"

pEATHs ERoM pIsEAsE.

The latest returns tell us that the
total loss OF life by the earthquake and
the fire Gin San Francisco foots UP less
than 2000 This number has been many
times greatly exceeded. For example,
in the Lisbon earthquake of 1855 1000
perished. The Calabra earthquake of
1888 killed $4,000. In 1896 a tidal
wave forty feet high produced by an
earthquake killed $1,000 on the coast
of Japan. At Martinique 10000 per-
ished. But these disasters are nothing
they are but drops in the ocean, when
we think of the daily and hourly trib-
ute of human victims to disease. Here
are the figures:
37,500, 900 persons die each year
103. 900 persons die each day.
4,300 persons die each hour.
20 persons die each minute.
person dies each second.
Every thirty minutes. then, more peo-
pie die than were killed by the earth
quake. Most of these are the victims
of preventable disease. In the United
States alone 10000 persons die annu-
ally of pneumonia. $4,000 persons die
of consumption. $4,000 persons die of
apoplexy. 10000 persons die of cancer
more than a million persons dying of
four diseases only all of which are pre-
ventable If the earthquake is terrible
because of the loss of human life, here
is something almost infinitely more
terrible Day and night this vast pro-
cession of corpses-100.000 day-each
with its funeral car and weeping
mourners. passes down the highway OF
life to made graves. We have be-
come accustomed to the funeral dirge
and the mourners wall. Our hearts
are calloused to the stricken mothers
grief and the motherless child's lament.
We take death from disease as mat
ter of course and stand stupidity by
waiting our turn.-Good Health.
