Interview With N. &. Pittman
Question About China and
Tonou

aRAhs Il
Mr.. Pittman has returned from
tour OF Japan and China. Since he
was pastor of the First Baptist church
Of Mexico be has travelled considerably
in Europe and Asia. He travelled
several thousand miles In the interior
of China. He stopped a day in Mex
leo and we asked him few questions.
"What do you think Of China's
ability to wage q war Of conquest or
defense?n He said: "Under the
government Of Manchee throne at
Peking are 433, 900, 900 souls. II these
people had commercial and patristic
unity they could conquer any nation
under the stars. But China is tinan-
cially distracted. Money is issued by
provinces, by municipalities, by off,
cials, etc. Your Hong Kong dollar is
not good In Peking. Your Hankow
money is not good in Keifeng, the
capital Of Honan. Throughout this
Oldest empire in the world the pro-
vinces are financially dismembered
ana the political integrity of the peo-
pie is wrecked because the unity Of
value is lost"
"And language is crazy in China.
The dialects, the colloquial languages
are as manifold as are the languages
among the Kingdoms OF Europe. II
you known the colloquial at Chinkiana
that knowledge does not keep you
from being deaf and dumb In Yang
chow twenty miles away. Language
is crazy and the finance is insane
In China"
"Japan deserves very little credit
for whipping the Russians who were
as ready to fight one another as wert
the kilkenny cats. Japan deserves
very little credit for whipping China
China was ready and is now ready Il
whip ITSELF"
"If Japan raises a disturbance will
the United States 1t will be done TO
the purpose Of getting money from tn
United States, Japan may seize th'
philippine Islands. Uncle Sam con
quered the islands and then pai'
Spain for the Islands and then pai
millions to the friars for the islands
Maybe If the japanese seize th
islands Uacle Sam will pay the jar
anese for the islands. Right there
the biggest chance for a war wit
Japan"

REFERRING TO the advance cost Of
publishing newspapers, the Centralia
mol Guard is eminently correct when
it says: The users Of white print
paper are bearing the brunt of the
raise and IL the hopes Of the newly
formed trust are to be realized print
will go to six cents. The only hope
Of the country paper seems to be to go
back to the old price Of $500 per year.
Many pagers have already made an
advance to sl.50 per year. The best
shape the outlook can take will put
the country newspapers in very bad
state CT financial trouble.

Morris And Kendall The Fisher

man,
TO the Editor OF the Ledger
Mexico Mo-, Aug. 10Th, 1907. Dear
Sir;--It seems that the readers Of the
Ledger are willing to be bored with
another fish story, and as Mr. Miller
Morris and / have been out on the
creek again will tell you more about
him as fisherman. On Tuesday last
in order to catch the fish before they
got up, we hied away for the woods
about daylight, but before we got out
of town it began to rain, and we had
to return home, and this we hated TO
do, as we bad plenty Of grub and q
frying pan and coffee pot along, all fixed
up in box so that stray dog could
not get 1t as be did once before. But
we were not to be out-done by the
rain, and after dinner we hiked out,
and were soon at the fishing hole.
Bro. Morris was feeling fine as have
no doubt that he had, visions the
night before of landing the big
fellows, like he used to catch In Call
fornia. We soon got our lines In the
water. Bro Morris was armed with
two fine long poles, and hooks galore
after making o cast the first thing and
the most natural thing that | noticed
was the old snake doctor perched VI
on top Of bis cork, which is invariably
a bad omen. Bro Morris fixed him
seat near an old log that lutted oul
from the bank, and bis presence seem
ed to have a qiueting effect on everl
thing, the old bull-frog on the opposite
bank ceased to croak, and lone ia,
Bird sat on nearby limb and winket
his of eye at him, as much as to sa'
what are you doing out here, and th'
old Kingfsher that makes his flight
up and down the creek seeing him 8
well rigged out said to himself, ther'
are no fish for me to-day. The onl
thing that seemed to have any busi
ness activity were the musquitos an
from the way Bro Morris fought then
off they seemed to be very much alive
1 for staying qualities they were onl
equaled by Bro Morris as a fisherman
AS there he sat watching that corl
expecting every minute ID pull out
big one until late In the evening an
nary fish did he catch, only had on
nibble, but | still say that Bro Morr
is the best fisherman that ever saw
but he can't catch any fish.
Yours truly,
s. L. Kendall.
