On the issue which Senator Dubois
has made in Idaho. the Democrats of
Idaho alone are qualified to sit in judg-

other issue.

awaits the boilers who appeal to either

THE TOMB OF CONFUSIUS.
Shrine of the Greatest Member OF
Oldest Family in the World.
New York Sum-

new guide book buries this laconic
paragraph among it's descriptions of
the German port of Tsingtau and of
about fifty routes in the Shantung
province of China:
AT T'shue fu. on passports and
cards presented to Duke Kung, permits
sion is granted to visit the temple and
tomb of Confucius."
Many known tombs were very old
before that of Confucius was built, but
there is no doubt that Duke Kung can
show a longer pedigree than any other
person. He is the latest i'm the line of
the descendants of Confucus, and the
family has lived for seventy-seven gen.
erations in the very place where the
illustriOus Chinese philosopher was
born and died.
The remarkable history of this fam
lily is due largely TO the attitude of the
Chinese toward the descendants of the
great teacher. The family is the only
example of hereditary aristocracy in
the empire. The head of the house is
an Independent nobieman, ranking next
to the imperial family, supported by
the state on the rentals derived from
nearly 100000 acres of land, and distin-
guished by various special honors and
privileges. The governor of the prov
ince of Shantung, in the western part
of which COnfucius was born. is re-
quired to PROSTATE himself nine times
when he pays his respects to the duke,
but the few Europeans who have Wis
tied the place have been simply and
cordially welcomed though making
only their customary salutation. No
other family in the world, of course,
has a record of having lived for over
2400 years in one place Confucius
died i'm his birthplace 1855 years ago.
FOur-fifths of the population of the
little city that is hallowed by the dust
of Confucius can trace their lineage TO
the philosopher. If the place is to be
visited hereafter by the tourists who
will go TO China in increasing numbers
as transports ton facilities improve,
there should be some agreement as to
the spelling of the name II is spelled
two ways in the guide book referred to,
and Legge, Williamson and some other
writer's on COnfuciuS have their own
original considerations for the name
of his birthplace. Political reform in
China should be accompanied by re-

SENATOR DUBOIS, SUGGESTION.

In the American" Iove-feast of Sat
urday, former Senator Dubois of Ida
no urged that contesting delegations be
sent 20 the national convention of both
the Republican and Democratic par
ties. The basis of protest as indicated
by the senator is yearning desire to
secure representation in the conven-
lions by delegates chosen by somebody
not a "hieraTch"
Waving the fact that Senator Dubois
is from Idaho and that Utah Demo-

interstate management of their local
affairs. the question arises. what right
has an American" TO a seat in any
but an American" convention? Sure

county and city elections for several
years is not going to assume the right
to sit in a Democratic convention this
year? And just as surely the "Ameri-
can" Republicans should hesitate to
ask admission to Republican nation
al convention when they are fighting
the party in the state and fighting the
national administration in their own
feeble way whenever opportunity Of
fers.
Take a specific instance. The pres
ent city attorney. H. ]. Dininny. used
TO be an ardent Democrat. There have
been times when he not only had no
objection IN 5be ssf,ieYaroi,s' in ,,oIfticS
but counseled the cultivation of such
assistance from the 'hierarch' as
might be secured without too conspicu-
Gus demonstration. MIR. Dininny is now
a stanch American" a bitter critic
of the Democratic party in Utah. a val
liant foe of it's candidates and leaders.
Would Senator Dubois have Judge
Dininny ask a national convection TO
seat Dininny as representative of the
Utah Democracy when he represents
only about One-tenth of one per cent
of the Democratic voters of the state?
The american" party owes its ORR
gin and continuance TO a split in the
Republican party and it may be nat
ural for that split to find further ex-
preston In a protesting delegation to
the Republican convention. At least
so per cent, proba oily more, of the
American" vote comes from the Re
publican party, so there is some shad-
ow of a right to hold a Republican
convention within the American"
party and ask recognition for it. AS
one American" leader has put it, they
have everything to gain and nothing
TO lose by kicking and they can make
the Smoot Republicans uncomfortable
anyway. which Is one of their chief OBJ
jects in life But no considerable num-
Der of Democrats have any interest in
this phase of the Republican row; the
Democratic party is not concerned in it
except as it contributes TO Democratic
success; and no one but a chucklehead
in party management would interfere
at this interesting stage to help out
either faction by Democratic aid and
comfort.
