ployes to wear whiskers. lie appeals to
higher law in justification of his whole
sale indictment against whiskers. He per-
ceives that massive brains do not express
themselves in whiskers. This is the most
unfair and the subtlest attack that has
yet been made upon wh,skers. It's pur-
pose is TO array every ambitious man In
the country against whiskers, but its re-
suit will be TO array class against class
on the whiskers question.
Hence, we regret that such an issue has
been raised. Il were better If the anti
whiskers agitation should be kept con-
fined 10 more legitimate limits. We pre-
scribed these some time ago. There are
styles Of whiskers which we abhor, but
we bear with them because we are aware
that they are the pride and joy Of their
owners, There are whiskerless faces, too,
which we abhor but we bear with them
because We realize that their deluded
owners are happy in the belief that they
are lovely 10 look upon. We deny in toto,
however, the Cleveland doctrine that
whiskers are not a sign Of massive brains
Were we so minded, We could give the
names Of bewhiskered men whose brains
are massive and OF unwhiskered men
whose brains are not massive.
After all. If there be any relation be-
tween mind and that form of matter
called whiskers. this relationship must be
governed altogether by climate. Fierce
gales at times sweep over Cleveland from
Lake Erie, and these may possibly pro-
duce storms in the brains of Clevelandites
who affect whiskers. But we doubt it.

American transportation Facilities

Former Secretary Shaw in Lesiies
America is plethoric in everything. Our
circulation IS congested. In other words
our transportation facilities are far below
our needs. Meantime locomotive works
and car factories are running twenty
four hours a day. And all this notwith-
standing some Of our great transcontinen-
tai lines do not possess sufficient side
tracks to hold their present equipment Of
cars. We are now as much in need Of
double tracking our transcOntinentaI lines
of railroad as We were originally in need
of these lines. The combined railroads
could not transport an army with neces-
sary supplies TO the Pacific Coast in six
months. Our salvation lies in the fact
that no such army viii be needed. At
least let US SO hcpe and pray.

There is a gentleman stopping az the
Shoreham whose vast fund IF inf0rma-
ton about China and its people is based
on twenty years residence IN that coun-
try. during which he has occupied posi-
tons OF high honor and Importance. This
gentleman, Air. John G Ferguson. is
counselor to two powerful vicerovs. TuaD
Fang. Of NankinE. and Chang Chib-Tung.
viceroy at Wuchang. the former govern
ing three provinces with n total Of $4,000
population. and the latter ruling over two
provinces and 100000 people. Before tax

fifteen years was connected with the
leading universities Of the Chinese empire.
He is one Of the comparatively few men
Of white blood who can both speak and
write the language Of the CeIestals with
scholarly accuracy.
In conversation with a Herald reporter.
Mr.. Ferguson said: THE famine which
has distressed millions OF natives in the
province OF Kiangsu, to the northwest Of
Shanghai and just east OF the Grand
Canal. is not yet ended, but a great deal
Of the suffering has been relieved by the
charity Of big-hearted Americans Two
thirds Of all the relief money coming from
foreign lands was fr.u the United States
The pictures of the ravages Of the famine
printed in the newspapers were no exag-
geration The selling of the little chill
dren by the parents made desperate by
hunger happened in thousands Of cases.
and thousands actually died Of starvation
The famine was brought on by the over
flow of the rice lands by the waters Of
the Grand Canal and from the old bed OF
the Yellow River.

Of Americans is the effect it has on the
Chinese Of the class not touched by the
