of law in a city where law has been
treated with persistent disrespect. Law

weapon in fight, but good thing
to let alone in peace and the possession

a political gang and run the city for

AN american COURT
IN CHINA CREATED

The creation Of United States Dis
trio Court to have jurisdiction in China
will cure in large measure the abuses
which have arisen through the eXer-
cisco judicial power in the Chinese
open ports by unframed. incompetent
or dishonest American consuls. The
necessity for some modification of the
old system, improvised to carry into
practice our claims of extra territori-
ality. has been long apparent. Vt was
clear that as our commerce With
China developed and Americans set
tied In larger numbers in the treaty
cities the administration of justice as
side issue by consuls IMMERSED in
law must be attended with increasing
difficulties and embarrassments. Act
ing as judges. and as judges from
whose decisions no appeal could be
taken. these officials possessed a dan
gerously arbitrary authority. ASsis-
tant Secretary Pierce's Investigations
in the Orient had possibly good deal
to do with melting Congress not only
to reOrganize the consular service, but
to divorce the judicial and commercial
functions of consular officers stationed,
rights are conceded. 4 United States
district Judge is now to take over these
purely legal duties. and dissatisfied
litigants are to have an appeal from
his judgments to the supreme court at
Washington. The first judge Of the
new court, Lebbeus r. Wilfiey.. has
seen service as judge of first instance
in the Philippines and also as Attorney
s,Nc,
In his latest post he can be counted on
to introduce needed reforms and to
bring order into what has hitherto
been lax and haphazard administra-
ton of justice.
The establishment of the new court
involves no extension of the principle
of eXtra-territoriality. 1t simply alters
the machinery through which that
principle is applied. Yet without
doubt the Chinese government and the
people of the treaty ports will see in

this new move an intention to enlarge
and emphasize practice which ia re-
pugnant to their ideas of nationality
and sovereignty. The day Is probably
yet far distant when China can ask and
secure a retrOcessiOn of privileges ex-
tOrted from her In her period of SOM
Violence and weakness. The Chinese
are not a nation In the modern sense,
and will be slow to develop that ma
tional consciousness and unity which
within a generation has reawakened
and remade Japan and given the Island
Empire an unquestioned place in the
family OF nations. Japan, too. had
been obliged to yield extra-territorial
rights to the Europeans settled In her
ports. But her rapid modernizatiOn
made such rights an anachronism, and
the United States. which had been the
first. power to enter Japan, took the
lead in 1894 in surrendering claims
which had become obsolete. China
will doubtless follow the example of
Japan in reshaping her industrial and
political life and adapting herself to
twentieth century conditions. But the
process will be slow, for European
civilization has so far penetrated only
the outer fringes Of the empire. and
the great interior mass is as yet UNI
moved by 'any impulse to nationality
and progress.
Mr.. Bryan expressed the belief in
his Fourth of July speech in London
that China would eventually range
herself alongside Japan as an ally of
the white races and sharer of the
white mans burden" That opinion
is probably sound. and no country
would be reader than the United Stat IS
to welcome China into the circle of
civilizing and progressive nations.
When China can ask with as much
reason as Japan asked for retroces-
sion of eXtra-territorial privileges the
United States will gladly abolish the
court it has just created. In the in
terval it will maintain that court as
necessary and practical means of
securing justice to its citizens domi-

Boycotted Thirsts.

Terre Haute, Ind, on the Wabash, is
a large producer of liquor. More than
half the dollars which it's manufac-
lures gather in annually are the earn
ings OF dfstilleries,. and, while con-
sumption has never eQualled pr0duc-
ton, the home market has always been
civic Joy. No one. could ask more
patriotic and devoted fostering of the
chief local industry. For the better
stimulation Of the home market Terre
Haute has always been wide open
town. 1t had, until recently, an open
minded, open handed, open hearted,
altogether wide open Mayor. It has q
council which, the encyclopedias tells
US, is unicameral, but which seems to
US more than that-positively unique.
We are accustomed to the combina-
ton OF the close mayor and the wide
open council. 1t is usual. The coun-
cilmanic heart always beats in strong
sympathy with the counters of the
"empties." But in Terre Haute we
have that anomaly, the wide open town
with a wide open mayor and vir-
tuous, lid clamping council.
A little while ago this virtuous,
unicameral body impeached and de-
posed the mayer from Office for not
enforcing the laws. BY some proc
ess of the town charter or other in
strument the city clerk was endued
with the authority of chief magistrate.
IL anybody doubted before that there
were laws in Terre Haute, his doubts
were quickly dispelled. Injunctions
and mandamuses and habeas corpuses
and writs even more reconcile at once

on food substances. Changing starch
into sugar. Under the Fletcher rules
one isNo take small mouthful and
chew everything until it is liquefied
and all taste of it disappears. This
applies to liquids as well as to solids.
Use any food that tastes good to you,
but in small quantities, and with COM
plete, and deliberate justification.
Govt, headache and all kinds, of, trouble
are sure signs Of too much food-not as
simulated. Guided by the taste, you
will not eat the wrong thing, and mas
ticating slowly and completely you will
not eat too much. A man may bolt
what Is unwelcome, but IL he under
takes to chew it it will be rejected. If
1t tastes good it will agree with you,
but If you have to wash it down you
are likely to hear from it. Half the
amount of food or drink taken in this
way will satisfy you better than double
the amount hastily swallowed, and
prove more wholesome and beneficial.
Fletcher found that not only under this
system was weight reduced where it
was too great, and diseased conditions
eliminated. but the capacity for men,
tai and physical exertion and endur-
ance greatly increased. To try no
prescription, simply to live naturally
eat moderately and masticate thor
oughly.
There is opening up, too, in connec-
ton with health questions, very wide
field for the use of mental influence.
This field is comparatively new and
has not been thoroughly investigated.
1t is too soon to express positive opin-
ion about it, or assert, as some do that
every disease can be healed by mental
treatment. The positive direct and
powerful action Of the mind upon the
body and its functions, however, no
one can question. Sudden bad news

fear will cause profuse Precipitation.
and 1t is claimed that the subconscious
self which is under the control of the
Will, and acts from external sugges-
ton, is so related to the nerve centers
as to be able to bring its healing pow
er to bear at any point to effect cures
OF any disease. It is, of course, Nature
that heals in the end, and it we'll NAV
be that the Wis medicatrix can be in
voked and directed without the inter-
ventton of drugs or doctors.

Volvia declared that many men in
Zion City had not been able to obtain
employment for two years; and had
been supported out Of benevolent
fund which he himself had estab-
lished. Whenever he made an effort
by the first apostle" Meanwhile,
Dowie was spending trust fund money
like water on his own epicurean de-
sires and in chimerical schemes like
the planting of Zion colony in the
Mexican Wilderness
There can now be little doubt that
John Alexander Dowie was either a
charlatan or a lunat1c probably a
blending of both. To speak of him in
the past tense is eminently proper
He did not possess financial genius,
or even business sense. His genius
lay altogether in his magnetic quail
ties as mOney-raiser and his ability
to make the people who gave him
their money believe that'he possessed
the great executive ability of cap
tain Of industry. He was worse than
lacking in business acumen. He was
no more fit to conduct a great indus
trial enterprise than child.
But the secret Of Dowie's strange
hold over his ddpes lay in his un-
doubted power as a religious leader
of Observation-Disclosures and zeal. He
was a modernized Peter the Hermit in
his ability to infect the brains of men
with his own distraught. distempered
imagination on things spiritual. Once
they were under his emotional spell,
their pocket books were his.
The people Of Zion City have had
a rude awakening. The outside world
could have told them long ago some
things they have since learned to
their great financial loss.

The judicial examination of the af-
fairs Of Zion City recently conducted
in Chicago brought to light an as
founding situation-astoundin prin-
cipally, in its revelation of the lengths
to which human credulity will go
Overseer Voliva. who succeeded
Elijah Ill" Dowie as a sort of spir-
itual and material receiver, after the
latter's moral. physical and financial
bankruptcy, testified that when he
took charge of Zion City he found in
the local candy industry a paid-up
stock of $4,000, an actual invest
ment of $4,000, and a total operating
loss up to last January of $4,000.
The situation was as bad, or even
worse, in the other local industries,
some of which were supposed to be
making money. In the lace factory,
for example. She best known of the
Zion City industrial enterprises and
for which great things we're predict
ed, there was paid on the stock ST.
S24 900, while the amount actually in
vested by Professor Dowie was but
415,000. The lace factory has been
operated at a loss of $1,2O0,0O0. The
deposits in the Zion City bank to-
tailed half a million dollars, but
when Voliva took charge of the
theoretical colony the vault was emp
ty and depositors could not draw a
dollar on demand.
Overseer Voivia said in his testi-
mony:

receiving only enough to exist upon,
and their pay was far behind. Many

RATIONAL HEALTH SEEK
ING IS BECOMING FAD

When man was in the animal stage,
and probably for good while after he
had emerged from it and become
simply savage, he was as healthy as
the other wild animals. His life was
chiefly I'm the open air, and his food
such as was adaped to his wants. With
civilization came cities and crowding,
luxury, too much food and drink, and
crop of ailments and diseases that is
truly appalling. With diseases came
doctors and medicines, most of which,
as the nature and causes of disease
were unknown, Iwere purely empirical,
and generally more harmful than help
full, and the physical health and effici-
ency Of the race as a whole became
and Is to-day greatly impaired, be-
cause, unfortunately, acquired weak
nesses and morbific conditions and ten.
denotes are transmitted to offspring,
While everybody fell into the doc
tor and drug habit, and the idea grew
to be universal that the only way to
combat disease was by medical treat
ment, there have been for a long time
practitioners, and they are coming to
be numerous, who perceived that the
only true way was to give nature a
chance, and that the power of recov-
cry not only lies in the patient himself,
but depends largely on his mental at
ritude. And SO it is today that we are
having a gospel of health and mental
healing. Hygiene is now the battle cry.
Fresh, pure air night and day, cleanli-
ness, good food we'll cooked, plenty of
pure water between meals, a resona-
BILE amount of exercise and steady,
cheerful occupation.
We have only lately come to under
stand that 1t is not the amount Of food
one eats, but what is disgested and as
simulated that counts, and equipped, as
we are naturally, with a full set of
teeth it is strangely funny of late that
we are beginning to realize what an
important part through mastication
plays in the animal economy. This fact
has been SO fully demonstrated by Mr..
Fletcher that its practice has come to
be known as Fletcherism. BY series
of experiments, first on himself and
then on number of others, it |, has
reached wonderful results. The pro-
