France. The ISLANDS we're coded to
Great Britain in 171s. but retaken in
the conquest Of Canada and, after hav-
ing been traded around among nations
for years, finally restored to France in
1915. They have a governor appointed
by France and have a member in the
French Chamber of Deputies. Their
people are continually clashing with
the British subjects Of Newfoundland
over bait and fishing rights and inter-
national entanglements have often
sprung from these rocky islands and
their hardy, s~eafaring men.
The overtures for annexation have
been caused by a clash between the
inhabitants of st. Pierre and the
French authorities over the question
of religious teaching in the schools.
The islanders resent the attempts of
the French authorities to interfere with
the ancient prerogatives of the church
by the separation of church and state
in the affairs OF the island. They have
shown their resentment by hosting the
American flag and announcing their
intention of seeking annexation to the
United States.
1t savors of the pathetic that these
folks look to the Stars and Stripes as
a beacon of hope for all who feel OPP
pressed, even though they fail to
appreciate that we can offer them no
barrier to the separation Of church and
state. Nothing can come of the plea of
the unhappy islanders at this time
other than to have attention attracted
to their isolated condition.

REVOLT OF CHINESE WOMEN.

hE OE O1AnbSb HOAuGNs
Perhaps the best assurance that the
march of China toward a better civili-
cation will not be retarded by the death
of the emperor and dowager empress
lies in the reports of the amazing
activity of Chinese in support
Of various reforms. From time imme-
mortal the women have been the most
potent, II most conservative, factors in
the progress of civilization. In China,
even more than in Turkey, the woman
has been in apparent submission and
has had practically M voice in making
or changing her surroundings. In
China, since civilization was young, the
daughter has been a mere chatteI.
With bound feet and starved brain she
has lived in careless Ignorance in her
home, subject for sale and barter to a
husband whom she had not seen or
known. She has been barred from
the privileges Of education and has re-
ceived even less consideration than the
beasts of burden. Now all this is being
changed. Albert Maybon, in an article
In La Revue, a Paris paper, say this of
the intellectual awakening of the Chi
nese women:
The eminis propaganda Is largely pro-
NOTED by these associations Of women, who
now take part in political discussion ano
furnish q new impulse to political move
ments. For instance, IL was the youne
women of the province OF Chekiang who
protested at their meetings against obtain.
ing a loan from England to build an impor.
tant railroad and proved the sincerity OF
their words by their deeds. for they i'm.
mediately invested 500, 900 in the stock OF
the Chinese company. 1t is thanks to such
societies that the childless widow and the
divorced wife are not abandoned, as hereto,
fore, to a lot OF misery. Such unfortunatei
are given new interests in life and fur.
nished with positions in the government
offices and in banks or hospitals. Those
who are educated are sent to Japan to take
up courses OF study. II they are withou.
resources they are provided for by theil
associates.
Out of this movement, we are in
formed by NJ. Maybon, have come
associations of women demanding q
~remodeling of the institution of family
life in China, the admission of women
to the professions, the demand for the
right of women to chose their own
husbands. organizations for the protec-
ton Of the natural feet" of Chinese
women. and a demand for equal educa-
ton Of the sexes With such move
ments. gaining support, as they are
among the best men of the empire
there is little danger OF any back ward
step being taken by the Chinese. what.
ever changes may be made among the
rulers at Picking.

He has only once been president by a
popular vote, and the idea Of his being
written off from American affairs and set
thing down to the secluded life in which
some OF his predecessors have faded from
the public gaze is one of those things which
the mind refuses TO think. The future OF
Mr.. Roosevelt is at least as interesting as
the future OF Mr.. Taft or Mr.. Bryan or Mr..
Hearst. He is perhaps the one man in the
world of whom Il can be said that after
seven years OF public office he retires with
his popularity unimpaired. To have such a
man In reserve is a great asset for any ma
tion. and it Is impossible TO believe that he

NOT so MUCH TO BOAST ABOUT.
The Official returns of the election
in Nebraska are now completed, and
while the results are not what repub-
licans would have wished, they do not
give the democrats so much to boast
about.
The oficial returns show that the
Bryan electors carried Nebraska by a
plurality of 4,102, but failed to poll a
majority, and that the democratic an
didate for governor was elected by a
plurality OF $3.50, running nearly
5000 ahead of Bryan. The repub-
leans still elected three out OF six con-
gressmen and all of the state ticket but
one below the governor. The legisla-
ture has a democratic majority in both
houses, traceable chiefly to local issues
in the various legislative districts.
Considering the fact that the repub-
licans had to face a combination of
church, saloon and railroads, working
largely to the same ends, the carrying
OF his W state by the democratic
presidential candidate by a plurality of
4,102 cannot be regarded as a notable
achievement Outside, however, of
the factors which we're operating at the
election the electoral vote of Nebraska
will 60 to Bryan only because of the
transparent fraud by which the demo-
cratic candidates were mislabeled as
populists to deceive voters who would
not otherwise cast their ballots for
them.
The action of the republican secre-
tary of state, over formal protest en-
tered by the editor of The Bee, in put
ting the democratic electors on the
ballot twice, nee as democrats and a
second time disguised as populists-
made Mr.. Bryan a present of from
$4,000 to 10000 votes that did not be-
long to him. without these populist
votes, secured by false pretenses, Bryan
would not have carried Nebraska and
1t is doubtful whether but for this
the republicans would have lost the
governor. the two congressman up for
reelection and suffered their other set
backs, Notwithstanding the powerful
combination of corporate and other in
huences opposed.
In no other state in the union were
the presidential electors of one party
allowed to go on the ticket masquer-
aiding under another party name. In
no other state was 1t attempted. In no
other state than Nebraska would 1t
have been tolerated.

Mr.. Bryan's Future.

The medical profession has just had
convincing proof that typhoid fever germs
remain in the human system far longer
than it has been supposed that they could.
On the night after Mr.. Taft's victory Mr..
Bryan said: lone is not required to hold
office in order to do big things" The day
following he said: 4 shall serve as will
ingly in a private capacity as in a public
one. God does not require great things Of
u.s."
Such sentiments seemed to justify the
belief that Mr.. Bryan's fever for office
had run its course, and that he would
settle down to a healthy life of ordinary
citizenship. But the hope was vain. There
are still presidential bacilli in his system.
He now says; L hope that it may never
become necessary to run for office again,

ton until the time comes to act.I Passive

A PARAMOUNT ISSUE.
The Problem OF How TO Bring Up
Ones Parent Properly.

Philadelphia Ledger.
1t Is very evident these days that the
problem OF how to bring up ones parents
properly is giving concern to a number
of the children OF our best families. There
seems to be a growing inclination on the
part Of parents to assert themselves unduly,
to regulate the hours and occupations Of
their offspring, 10 prescribe the regimen
of their lives, even to select their friends
and acauaintances and dictate their choice
Of amusement. II something is not done
about 1t shortly the rod Of power will pass
from the hand OF the child to the parent.
Perhaps it is just as well, however, that
parents should have some voice in the
management OF their own families. The low
able little autocrats OF our breakfast tables
and nurseries, 1t Is possible, may not In
variably know what is best for them. II
Is just as well. perhaps, that the autocTacy
should become a constitutional monarchy,
and that those loving subjects, the father
and mother should have at least the parlia-
mentary right OF suggestion and opinion.
The truth is that there is the happiest
family life where there lie loving com
munity OF interest between parent and
child. Occasionally. Of course, a
touch of firm authority must take the
place OF moral suasion" where the latter
policy might be interpreted as weakness.
but as a rule the perfect love that casts
out fear will work wonders OF discipline.
The old conception of parental and fihal
relationship. as that OF an awful authority
on the one hand confronting servile and
abject obedience on the other. has passed
with the days Of the stage coach and the
bayberry candle. Nowadays children and
parents are or ought TO be comrades. The
child will take suggestion and direction
quite as readily from the plant wand
OF affection as from the rod Of retribution
and Mosaic authority.

AN ANNEXATION oVERrURE.


The first class in geography would
probably have to think twice and look
oftener to the stlas before locating the
st. Pierre and the MiQuelon islands,
whose inhabitants have just raised the
American flag and made overtures for
annexation to this country. Yet these
people have been a source Of more or
less trouble to the French, to whom
they W allegiance. and to the Cana
dams, whose laws govern them, since
early colonial days.
These two little groups of islands,
about seventy-fiye miles from the
southern shore of Newfoundland, have
a population of about $500 and an
area about equal to that of Douglas
county. They are almost barren rocks
capable of producing nothing except
Goldfish and trouble. The inhabitants
persist in living in the last century and
refuse to recognize the progress that
has been made by France in education
and religious tolerance. preferring to
