THE AWAKENING OF CHINA.

Indications are multiplying that
China Is awakening from the torpor OF
ages. Once the Chinese were an alert
progressive people. But when the feel
ing became fixed that China was the
most advanced and enlightened of na-
tions. was In fact the only nation of the
earth worth considering; when tho peo-
pie became thoroughly imbued with the
notion that they had nothing more to
learn, that all wisdom and all worth
were buried i'm the grave with their
worshipful ancestors and that II would
be impious as We'll as unfilial and dis
respectful to improve upon the thoughts
and methods OF their forefathers. then
all advance was checked, dry rot set in
and the empire was bound tight I'm the
cercments OF The grave; progress was
made mummy
But some awful and bloody lessons
have been taught, the people and the
statesmen Of China have been brought
to see that II they would preserve their
nation they must be able TO shake off
enemies and fend off encroachments.
Though repeated bloody lessons were
inflicted by Great Britain, Russia, Ger
many, and France, the people remained
in their dormant state; they seemed to
have reached the firm conclusion that
they were helpless before the white
race.
Then came Japan's emergcnce from a
like sleep OF ages: her triumphs over
China did not seem to make much i'm

power that cared TO undertake the lob

broke out. there was not the slightest
Idea in China that Japan could win. for

When Japan came out victorious I'm that

southern Manchurla, job which China
despaired OF ever seeing done. then
China began to take an interest. She

doubted that she could do what Japan
could do and more. She began on her
army, and the maneuvers of the army

skill and efficiency last fall that the
experts from all the world were
amazed
China is also in the throes of an In
dustrlal and commercial revolution, as
well as Of a warlike progression. She
wants the empire developed, but she
wants TO do the developing herself. She
wants railroads, but wants to control
them. She wants her mines OF iron,
coal. copper and the precious mines
opened, but doesn't want the profits to
go to foreigners. And she wants to

The holders OF the sugar stock of the
local companies have made enormous
profits out OF Il. Their stock has been
watered repeatedly so as to avoid the

1t Is the old story of corporate and
monopolIstlc greed over-reaching itself
and making the community foot the
bill. The farmers, who should receive
as much per ton for bcets as the fac
tory asks per hundred for sugar, are
cut twenty-five per cent and the money
so derived is added to the accumulations
Of the rich holders Of the stock. These
holders, of course, hold themselves TO

cheaper they can get that raw ma

SOLDIERS EAGER FOR WAR.

Great enthusiasm is reported among
the American troops in the Philippines

This Is a discouraging note. II is all
right to have troops ready for war. but
they should never be anxious for It, A
soldiers business is TO fight, and It Is
not surprising that inaction should
breed unrest. But even so, 1t is rather

William Williams, the murderer of

Nielsen assured the governor that he

witnesses. The governors letter quotes
the law as to witnesses, and then says:
"You will observe that the law is
very specific as to who may witness
executions in this state. In view of
violations of this law in the past, /
deem it necessary to charge you with
a strict observance Of the law. It has
been customary in some cases for the
sheriff to designate many people as
deputy sheriffs for the sole purpose of
