We want no people in this country
who regard their native land as of su-
preme Importance and who devote their
time and money to other objects than
the good of the country of their adop-
ton. Men who are disposed to con-
slider Chinese institutions as superior
to ours, or liberty lovers who fancy
that the struggles of Armenia are a
vital matter, or warlike persons who
think fealty to the mikado the main
thing, are not wanted here, and their
presence in large numbers must prove
a menace to our institutions.
Oriental peoples, whether from China
or Armenia, when they reach this coun-
try show strong disposition to form
cliQues or companies to perform acts
which disregard our laws The Chi
nese are especially contemptuous of
whenever possible they administer a
code of their own which satisfies them
far better than anything we are able
to provide. The Armenians appear to
be built on the same lines. They main
tain revolutionary committees which
assess the rich of their race who have
made their home in the United States,
and if the latter fail to respond they
are assassinated 1t looks like plain
murder to us, but doubtless they con-
slider that they have as good a right to
regulate their own affairs as we have
and they act accordingly. Immigrants
whose minds operate along these lines
are certain to recruit the ranks of "un-
desirable citizens" and to do it speed.

The reduction of foreign postage will
be boon to many Americans. The old
rate of 5 cents for a half ounce letter
and ) cents more for each additional
half ounce has long been burdensome.
The new regulation is cents for a full
ounce and cents for each additional
ounce. Best of all, however, is the
new return postage coupon, which may
be purchased for a trifle more than the
price of the stamps 1t represents and
exchanged in any country in the postal
union for the stamps of that country.
This will not only greatly facilitate a
large class Of foreign correspondence,
but will provide the cheapest form Of
foreign exchange for small amounts.

The Touch of Mind with Body.


A prominent nerve expert of Switzer-
land who has contributed his observa-
tions from time to time to scientific
| papers has recently published a book
upon the influence of mind on the
body. His chief themes are treatment
| of disease by suggestion and the train
| ing of the will. Here we have the
basis of all mind cure systems, and it
is proper to keep in view the fact that
the idea is not at all novel OF new in
the history of civilization. Many years
| ago Alexander Balm, the celebrated
| logician, discussing the influence Of
| mental changes upon the body, said:
Sudden outbursts of emotion de-
range bodily functions. Fear paralyzes
digestion. Great mental depression
enfeebles all organs. Protracted and
severe mental labor brings on disease
of bodily organs. On the other hand,
happy outward circumstances are IA
vorable to health and longevity"
In making the above observations
Professor Balm was not acting as the
special advocate or the critic or apollo
gist of any system of treatment, sim
ply stating truths recognized by think
ing men or at least obvious when en-
Gghtened thought was directed to
them Most all adult American read
ers are aware that the key thought to
the above declaration is reiterated
again and again in the Bible. 1t is
true that the doctrine of health set
forth in the Bible makes the attitude
of the heart an important factor. But,
a very broad mind cure theory may be
evolved from Bible teachings and very
generally from orthodox renderings of
Bible lessons. DR.. Dubois, the Swiss
scientist cited above, places the lost
citadel of health in the individual hu-
man will. Professor Bains logic ap-
peals indirectly to the will, and the
Bible teaches that the ultimate respon-
sibility for all conduct and results rests
upon the will New and old, scientific
or spiritual, orthodox or dissenting
mind cure methods locate healing
strength in the man himself. Strength
has its inexhaustible we'll within. Nei-
ther agents nor nostrums nor stilts are
needed to attain the summit of human
health and happiness. So the mind
cure believer is not law unto him
self, but he is a savior of self. His
creed antagonizes mental illusions,
likewise physical delusions, and he
lives in little danger of suffering from
such self induced and self perpetuated
Ills as the drug habit, alcoholism, nico-
tine poisoning and the various forms
of prostration due to the abuse of
functions. The true mind curist not
only knows when to quit, but he quits.
He even heeds the warning, Touch
not, taste not, handle notr' and stops
short at the very thought of indul-
gence. .-

Plea For n New Grade of Doctors.

Plea For n New Grade of Doctors.
Without of course limiting that there
are two few qualified physicians
| throughout the country American Med
icine advances the opinion that there
is a growing need of profession
which shall exercise the functions of
both doctor and druggist 1t says that
the services performed by the two al
ready overlap, especially in rural COM
munities. But not alone in the coun-
try is the druggist or his clerk called
upon to give first aid to the injured
or suddenly stricken sufferer Even
town and city doctors cannot be every
where in their field at once. The drug
gist is always at the same old stand
\ hurry up call never misses fire there
doctor may give away medicine
which it is the druggists business to
sell for gain, and it is only fair that
the druggist give away advice. Al
though he is not now legally authoriz-
ed to prescribe, but just the contrary
he may and frequently does plead the
unwritten law of necessity and do Il
service to humanity He is supposed
TO know the effect of the remedies
which he handles and therefore finds it
difficult to refuse information to a
neighbor or fellow townsman when the
case is urgent and the regular physi-
elan beyond reach.
In order to qualify the druggist to
act as Il sort of assistant physician the
paper suggests that druggists take a
shorter and less expensive course in
medicine and be licensed to practice in
minor disorders and even to perform
slight surgical operations. He would
surely be capable of taking some
thing" out Of a smarting eye, although
he might draw the line at pulling
stubborn tooth, as even some city
dentists do on the ground that that
class of work is for the specialist I'm
questionably there is now a very con-
siderable informal prescribing being
done by druggists and drug clerks.
Nearly everybody behind a drug coun-
ter is called Doc" by his neighbors
and is often expected to live up to the
title more or less. If this is to continue
it might be well to have the custom
placed under regulations so that all
concerned-the public, the druggists
and the regular physicians-could know
where they are at"

In endeavoring to fix Richard Mans
fields place in the world of dramatic
art there is difficulty, as he cannot very
well be compared with any one else
certainly not with Edwin Booth, whose
methods were wholly different. Mr.
Booth, although sometimes appearing
in comedy, was essentially tragedian
and was tragic even in his mirth. II
was not so, however, with Mansfield,
who, while at intervals delighting to
play tragedy and always ambitious to
excel in it, was yet distinctively a CO.
median 1t was in comedy that all his
real successes were achieved, from the
first great night when he astonished
the public with Baron Chevrial to that
when, unsuspectingly, he took leave Of
the stage in Ibsen's Peer Gynt. The
list of his roles is amazing Garrick,
Kemble, Kean and Irving played in
their time many parts, but Mansfield
excelled them all The still more mar
velous thing is that he acted all his
repertory so well, giving each part its
separate identity and fixing it in a
niche of its own for the memory Of
those who love the players art
Memories of Mansfield are memories
Of a great actor who did not trife with
his public He gave it of his best. His
interpretations of men as whimsical rs
life itself, men in the grip of circum-
stances, as are we all, broadened the
minds and deepened the insight Of
those who accepted the interpretations
in the spirit in which the artist con
ceived them. Mansfield had read life
with the eye of fatalist, yet his cour-
age was of such high order that fail
ures merely spurred him on to further
efforts. Is such a man an egotist or
faithful bondman of art striving to de-
liver in the best manner the message
which has been intrusted to him and
which it is desirable that all should
know? In the case of Mansfield those
who knew him best unhesitatingly de-
clare that he sought to implant truth
and understanding in mems souls by
way of fulfilling his calling upon this
earth.

Railway Rates Abroad.

By a comparison of the railway of
England and that of Germany the In
dividuaIist, published in London, un-
dertakes to show that national rail
roads are not nearly soprosperous as
roads owned and run as private en-
lerprises. 1t appears that in the mat
ter of equipment the British roads
maintain two locomotives for every
hundred miles of road to one locomo-
tive in Germany and other stock in
proportion. In Germany the railway
traffic has not doubled in thirty years,
while the traffic on German waterways
has increased nearly 400 per cent in
that period. This paper says that the
bulk of the trade of the United King
dom sis carried on under special rates
arrived at by special bargaining be-
tween the trader and the company"
One railway running from London to
the north has 100000 special rates
in operation, according to its general
manager. To quote:
What is the aim of the railway men in
exerting themselves in this way? 1t is to
promote movement-to find out a price at
which business can be done, to fix terms,
as to credit, and so on, which can wisely
be made and SO to generate traffic and
to make commerce flow. How could state
officials undertake such duties? They in
volve sagacity initiative, zeal, CONNER
cial motive, spirit of adventure, traits no.
toriously absent from the official mind
and yet of vital Importance to the promo
ton and maintenance of business. Com
mercial railways mean the continual re-
moval of natural obstacles, until all dis
trtcts of the country are brought into
competition with each other as nearly as
possible on equal terms, thus continually
cheapening commodities and improving
production. National railways mean the
perpetuation of such obstacles in order
to preserve what are called the geograph-
ical advantages of each district-in fact,
commercial railways mean progress, ma
tonal railways stagnaion. Who can
measure the difference?
In conclusion the editor maintains
that the abolition of special rates on
British railways would mean that the
free energies of the railroad man in
cooperating with the trader would
cease to operate in hundreds of mil
lions of transactions every year.

War Talk and Peace Whispers.

On the first Monday of September a
few orators at labor meetings in this
country referred in a most cautious and
inefficient way to the principle of arbi-
ration as an alternative to war be-
tween capital and labor. Nowhere was
there applied to this subject that de-
termined ring of heart conviction usu-
ally heard on the lips of Labor day
orators. The same day a meeting of
the committee on arbitration at The
Hague peace conference adjourned
without advancing one step.
Turning to the fields on which the
voice of Mars was lifted up on Sept. ?,
there is another story to tell. On Sails
bury plain 10000 English soldiers were
pitted against one another in mimic
warfare. In Berlin Emperor William
II. reviewed the garrison in the pres
ence of delegations from foreign ar
mics and, the news dispatches say,
displayed remarkable satisfaction at
the bearing of the troops. Speaking
on the Moroccan situation in Paris,
General Brugere, ex-commander of the
French army, declared that France is
confronted with a ten year struggle
and the sacrifice of thousands of SOL
diers and hundreds of millions of treas
ure in her attempt to pacify the Moors.
No one doubts that France will go
ahead just the same or that the Eng
lish and German troops will be rushed
from the drill and parade grounds to
the field of battle at a moments notice.
On the other hand, the one who says
that arbitration shall become the es-
cape gap for human greed and pas
sions is laughed at as a dreamer.

"Strangers Cordially Welcomedn

The Ladies' Home Journal prints an
article by young woman who h@
visited many churches in New York
Brooklyn and Boston with a view 10
testing the legend that is displaydiu
front of many of the church eifcg
Strangers Cordially Welcomed" Aa
conclusion is that in many Of The
churches visited by her the invitatN
is delusion and a sham, the strange
within the churches gates being left
unwelcomed and unnoticed. Their
were, of course, exceptions.
Members of some of the churches
named in the article are coming tt
their defense in the newspapers They
declare that the entire church organl.
Zation and system cannot be disturbed
for every stranger, who might be
merely sightseer, dropping in" ~Oa
the services. They state what Is un-
doubtedly true-that it costs a great
deal iof money to run a modern city
church, with it's multifarious activities
and that the regular members and at
tendants of the churches are entitled
to- the first consideration and care
They declare that if a stranger" II
the full sense of that term as applied
to the churchgoer, wishes to realize t
the Afull the sense of the announce
ment, strangers Cordially Welcomed,
he OF she should take steps to join tn
church as soon as possible and thu
display a willingness to share in tn
burdens of church work as well as !
It's benefits.
Fhes church members seem to haV
a lRtle the better of the argument
but perhaps the attitude they ASSUME
takenSin connection with the youn
woman's complaint of neglect of tn
stranger; would go far to account 10
the lack ofinterest in church matter
that is said by some eminent clerg!
men to be q marked characteristic
present day city life.
