LAWS IN CHINA.
They Take No Account of the Inten

The incompatibility of laws based
on diverse civilizations is nowhere
more marked than in China, says Ho-
sea b. Morse in the Atlantic. There
no bankruptcy law is possible. II a
debtors own estate will not suffice to
pay his debts the deficiency must be
made good by his father. brothers or
uncles; if a DEBTOR absconds his Inn

long as he can find money for his
daily food until released by payment
in full or by death. This is the law
When in 1895 Admiral Ting found
himself forced to surrender Weihaiw Ell
and bis 6eet, he committed suicide.
By this courageous step. technically
dying before surrender. he saved his
immediate family-father. mother, sons
and daughters-from decapitation and
their property from confscation, the
penalty when a commander surrenders
an imperial fortress. This Is the law.
When in the old days an English
gunner caused the death Of a Chinese
by firing a salute from a cannon from
which by oversight the ball had not
been removed, he vas seized, tried
and executed. And In 1889. when In
the course Of a disturbance with Eng.
lish and American sailors at Canton a
Chinese was killed. the authorities de-
manded that If the guilty person could
not be detected and executed the
whole party should be handed over
for execution. This Is the law.

Equality Before The Law.

Secretary BOnaparte like other Re-
publican leaders refuses to endorse
the eternal truth contained in the Dec
laration OF independence. He denies
the doctrine THAT all men are created
equal" because he says freedom pre-
vents equality. Mr.. Bonaparte to
prove his argument that equality
means Socialism, Intentionally over
looks the fact that the great Declare
ton does not declare that men as they
grow and develop remain equal, far
from it. They are created and born
with equal rights-life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness, but very SOON
they diverge and one becomes leader
and another, even in a free Republic,
almost slave. One may be Solomon.
excelling in wisdom and another develop
into fool. Why do we. under our
Constitution, make all men equal, give
them all votes, the prudent and the i'm
prudent, the rich and poor alike. if
they are not born to the same estate
and created equally. This Republican
doctrine of one m an being better politi-
caliy than another is dangerous and
the people should beware of it. 1t is
intended to undermine their freedom.

Fish Skins And Feathers.

The Collector Of Customs of New
York has decided that frog skins are
leather and are subject to a tariff duty
Of so cents a pound and 20 cents ad
valorem. The Japanese importers de-
clare the skins are fshskins and there
fore being on the free list, no duty
should be enacted. II the Treasury
Department follows its former rulings
the frog skins are feathers, for some
years ago the experts of the Depart
ment decided that frog legs were
dressed poultry, consequently frog
skins must be chicken feathers and pay
duty accordingly. The Dingley tariff
as interpreted by Republican poIiti-
clans is wonderful law that even its
inventors do not Understand.

Republicans Help Them.

Some years ago the Massachusetts,
Railroad Commission advocated the
building or purchase and operation by
the government Of few interstate
lines OF railroad to act as a regulator
of rates by force Of competition. Gov.
Hoke Smith of Georgia, is now propos g.
ing the same plan. The United States
lost a very favorable opportunity of
inaugurating such competition when it
let go its hold on the Union Pacific
railroad and allowed the Hartman
and Standard Oil crowd to get at their
own price, with the connivance Of Re-
publican politicians.

Think OF This.

1t is worth while to note that the
main effect of the new interstate COM
merce law, so far, has been to enable
the railroads to keep the rebates that
they used to pay 10 favored shippers.
This puts all the shippers on the same
footing, but what benefit has it brought
to the public which pays the rates?
The states, however, have been reduc-
ing passenger rates from cents to
cents, reduction of SO 1-3 per cent.
and the public gets the benefit. No
wonder the railroads prefer federal to
State control.

In A Bad Way.

The Republican party is now in such
straits that it has just one man whom
it regards as popular enough TO be the
candidate Tor President. Is there any
parallel in history to situation in
which party hinges its success en- one
man, and when that man'is one who
has had. the courage TO drop his own
platform ard adopt that of the opposi-
ton party?
The Republican party has claimed a
monopoly OF intelligence, while it has
fOstered q monopoly Of everything else.
Isn't it strange that with all the brains
it claims to have. it has nc other popu-
lar man in the party?

FOR CHILD LABOR BILL.
Resolutions adopted by Council of
Jercish Women-Dr. Adler SPEAKS.

Child labor was discussed last night at the
monthly meeting of the New York Council OF
Jewish Women held at the Temple EMANUEL
the speakers for the evening being DR.. Felix
Adler of the National Child Labor Committee;
the Rev. O. Lovejoy, and Professor Lindsey, Of
Columbia University.
Professor Lindsey spoke on The National
Responsibility for Child Labor" He said that
the increasing prosperity Of the United states
made an increasing demand on the children.
There were two million children under SIX
teen at work in the United States and a fourth
of them were at dangerous work. Inc IN
creased prosperity OF the country had torceu
the weight of business the shoulders or the
children, especially on those Of the girls
THE Child and the Family was discussed
by the Rev. o. LovejOy. The number or girls
said Mr. Lovejoy, under the age of sixteen at
work in this country had increased al per cent
during the last twenty years, and was stun rap
idly increasing.
The National Child Labor Committee. said
Mr. Lovejoy, established branches In ten OF the
largest cities for the maintenance OF families
dependent on child labor, and it is hoped that
in this way better conditions VIII be brought
about.
Dr. Adler discussed the general subject OF
child labor The American nation, he said. was
too great TO allow the present condition OF ar
fairs to continue. The real reason for the pres
ent state Of affairs was that few people realized
how great the evil had become In the South
there were at least three thousand children
working In the cotton mills under the age or
ten years, and number Of them were as young
as five and six years.
child labor was not only un-American, but
also un-human Il am not q believer in eX-
tending the powers of the national government, ~
DR.. Adler said. but l think that national action
is the only way the evil can be eradicated
Resolutions were adopted indorsinS the child
