1t is rather interesting to note Just
at this time that China at present
seems to be passing through much the
same process with its newspapers and
other publications that many parts Of
the United States have passed through.
All over the empire native newspapers
are being started In the colloqulal dia-
lects and are more or less local In
character. The result Is that many
irresponsible publications are issued
and the means used by their projectors
to keep them alive have striking
similarity to those employed by ire
sponsible parties at various times and
In many places In the United States.
Newspapers are established. run a
short course and then drop out of sight,
port. nlackmail and other evils at
flict many communities Much of the
nntisforeign agitation which mas eaus d
so much trouble in China In the De At
few years is to be traced to such pub
hcations. In time some of these pa
pers, like some of their prototypes in
other lands, develop into paying prop
serties and responsible publications. 1t
Is unfortunate in some respects that
the publication Of newspapers In the
several local dialects has developed SO
generally. While such publications
will afford means Of educating the peo-
pie of the empire in some lines they
also furnish the means for deepening
the CULTS dividing the several provinces
which differ In dialects. Each news
paper center, If 1t performs its nat
ural mission. Will develop its own Ian
guage in its own field to the exclusion
Of a language which might In time be-
come common for all China.

Time to Face About.

The recent scathing exposures of
graft In high places has been good
thing. 1t has cleared the air of get
rlch-qulck mlasma. But there is dan
ger Of going too far. 1t Is useless to
lombard with 100 pound shells where
rife balls viii rout the enemy.
There is a big chunk of honesty left
In this country, and the graft expo
sures only serve to bring out that COM
forting fact. II the mass of men were
not honest there would have been no
vehement public expressions Of horror
at the revelations of crookedness.
There is honesty left, and honest ways
abound of getting good money which
the getter may hold under titles no in
vestigatlon can smirch.

Weak Postal Routes.

Commenting upon the plan Of the
postoffiee department to discontinue
many of the rural free delivery routes
where the number of mail parcels do
not average up to the standard re-
quired by the government. the Atlanta
Constitution says:
Speaking for these weak little rural
routes of Georgia and of the other south
ern states, the Constitution would urge
the very point OF their remoteness from
populous centers and the smallness of
their postal business as the reason why
they deserve to be fostered and eneour-
aged In every possible way by the post
office department. The rural free delivery
mail route is almost the sole link OF public
communication between these seauesteTed
places and the great world without. Many
Of them are days journey from rail
road station and have not access to the
interurban trolley line and party line tel
ephone now SO common In many OF the
rural districts of the east Many OF the
farmers living along these rural postal
routes do not find time In the busy sea-
son to go to the nearest postoffiee oftener
than once In fortnight. or even once In
a month"; and their isolation could not

delivery service has become a great fac
tor of soeiability. as well as positive
convenience of communication. in their
lonely lives. 1t keeps them In touch with
the outside world. 1t is one of the refin-
Ing influences of civilization.
Nobody undertakes to deny the hap
by influence of rural free delivery.
Many of these routes that make such a
poor showing when 1t comes to count
Ing their mail pieces have made q
marked Improvement In social and
material respects since the route was
established, and left to progress at the
same ratio of Improvement they will
one day make their routes self sup
