The Future Race.

Luther Burbank, the wizard Of fruits
and flowers, whose home is in Califor-
MIA, was given a banquet the other
day and in an after dinner address he
spoke of the American of the future as
he would of the plants to which he has
given his attention.
In the United States, Mr.; Burbank
says, the crossing ofraces has already
occurred without any agency of gov
eminent or social provision, and it
will GO on until the highest composite
is produced. He looks for the best
human strain of blood ever known to
constitute this greatest of nations. He
believes that environment is the con
trolling element, and that in fact here
dity is a creation of past environment.
Race Improvement must deal with the
child, the most sensitive of living
things, the most absorbent of what is
nearest. A child grows peaceful 0,
turbulent according to the atmosphere
in which it is raised. AS the crossing
OF many races has already beer
reached in this country the worl
ahead is that of elimination and rein
ing. Mr.. Burbank would keep thu
| children close to nature. He advise:
that ''their souls drink in all that i:
pure and sweet. Rear them, if posi-
BILE, amid pleasant surroundings
Don't terrify them in early life will
the fear of an after-world. Let natur,
teach them the lessons of good ant
proper living, combined with an abun
| dance of WE'LL balanced nourishment. ,
The best in them will be evoked ant
fixed by contact with the best that il
outside, and they will respond to thu
true and good, as plant drinks il
the sun and the dew.

jeet to educate the people. His prin-
ciple argument and one that will APP
peal strongest to the people of the
state outside Of those who live in the
districts affected by the drainage, is
that on account Of the state owning the
swamp lands of the north which are
set aside for school purposes, if these
lands are drained the state will be
able to dispose of them at good price
and the interest that will accrue from
the Investment of the money thus OBJ
tanned will be sufficient to almost elm
mate the school tax Of the state. There
are some 5000, 900 acres of land that
can be redeemed, all of which can be
sold at once as soon as in shape to be
occupied and none of it will go for
less than SIS a acre. He figures that it
will open up territory in the state as
large as the state Of Massachusetts.

beginning to look toward Pekin as
their seat of government and the radi-
ating center of national aspiration.
Japan, too, holds different attitude
toward China than she once held. She
now believes that if there were no
China it would be necessary to invent
one, as Palmerston said of Turkey and
the European balance in the Balkan
region and at the Bosphorus. No
country with sane men at its head will
enter into a war with China lightly in
1906. The half dozen powers which
participated in the march on Pekin in
1900 would have to send larger armies
to that task if the performance were to
be repeated to-day. The United States
will not invade China except in con-
junction with other great nations, as
it did half a dozen years ago, and the
expedition to the interior, if underta-
ken by all of those nations in concert
to-day, would not be the holiday ex-
cursion that it was then.

Talk About War With China.

1t is to be hoped that our people in
Washington will not enter into war
with China blithely. Troops are being
sent to the Philippines to be in readi-
ness for possible trouble in China, and
no attempt is made to conceal this
fact. A war with China is talked of
with apparently about as much free
dom as we used TO do in connection
with an expedition against the Sioux
or the Apaches in the old days. Pre-
parations are being made for a Chin
csc campaign without any effort at
concealment, just as England might
project an expedition against Thibet.
Several things have happened in re-
cent years which the world ought to
keep in mind. One of these is that
China has learned something and for
gotten something. Half a dozen ma
tions participated in the march on
Pekin in 1900 to rescue their legations.
At that time China not only had the
Boxer rebellion on her hands, but she
was in constant dread of being par
celed up among Japan and the great
countries of Europe. Her people were
discordant and apathetic. The sun
was setting upon their country, orthey
thought it was, and they were stoical-
ly awaiting the end.
But a new China has appeared on
the scene since then. A China with a
national consciousness has been born.
All over the big empire the people are
