WASHINGTON READY
TO lend ASSISTANCE

Washington, Sept. 21.-The import
ant edict referred to in Picking cable
gram relative to the establishment Of
a council of deliberation, has been in
course Of preparation for more than
six months. As in the case of Japan,
America is ready to lend every assist
ance to China in adopting modern
methods of government and in attain
ing to the rank of fully civilized
state.
There is reason to believe that the
decision of the throne to publish the
edict at this time was an immediate
result of the return to China of Sir
Cheng Tung Liang Cheng, who spent
the best part of his four years stay in
Washington in devising plans for the
Inauguration of reforms in the admin
istrative system in China.
While the purpose of the edict is to
secure constitutional or parliament
tary form of government. the Chinese
people are not ready, through mex
perience, for a full fledged parliament.
intermediate steps are provided for in
the decree. The most important is
the creation under section four of the
decree of "Chischen Yua, FOR min
istry for the discussion of state affairs.
The purpose of this body is to evolve
reform measures through conference
between the great viceroys or their
delegates, representatives, and the
head men to be chosen by tho cities
and towns directly. When such
preliminary laws are adopted as will
insure local self government through
leaders chosen by the people them
selves, it will be time to consider the
next step named, the selection of dele
gates to convention in the nature of
a parliament. So, in fact, China is
following closely the footsteps of the
Russian government in it's efforts to
establish constitutional parliament.

THE SEASONS GALL.

Over the hills and the plains Of the land of Dakota
Whistles the wind withits burden of snowhurries laden. IL
December, the month when the Storm King prepares his invasion,
Is passing with swift wing to join her companions in Oblivion.
Again and again it reminds us of timetide relenting, receding, q"
Receding like pillows and breakers exhausted and spent In their fury.
The land marks of life that cherish and joyfuly herald,
Once more with their presence arouse and dspel the mood of the passive.
Awake, oh We people! The hills and the valleys around you are calling,
Proclaiming the story of One who through time and all ages of mankind
Will stand the perfected model of living and loving in joy and in sorrow.
The father of Him in whose honor the glad bells are peaHng
Has blessed you with mountains of wealth and with broad Wales of plenty;
Has guided you safely when struggling through mazes of labor and fortune,
And given you dominion DER this, the broad land of Dakota.
rise then in all your majestic glory and prestige,
And render your duuful thanks to the Master of Worlds and of Nations.
