interior of China. Fitz-Henry received
his call through the University of Cal

He left Oakland several days ago for
his new field, which will be with a
Chinese government college at Cheng

CHINA,s NEW POLICY

Professor F'itz-Henry was formerly
with Seattle college. His selection is
in line with the avowed policy Of the
imperial government TO draw upon this
country for educators. 1t follows
closely upon the educational program
which has heen arranged by the Chi
nese officials in connection with the
return to China by the United States
of S11. 100000 of the boxer indemnity
fund. In addition to this plan there
are now being educated IN the United
States about $50 young Chinese, direct
ly under the patronage of the imperial
and provincial governments of China.
That this will all reflect immeasurably
to the benefit of the nation and TO the
Pacific coast in commercial relations
with the Chinese empire is said by
those informed to be one of the mani
testify important phases Of the action
of both governments growing out of
the boxer indemnity situation.

Middle West Doubted.

From the Middle Western States come
the most remarkable reports of the ut
ter effacement of party lines in the last
two or three years. These reports worry
Republicans. but the Republican ma
Jorities in this section are so large that
there seems small reason for belief that
TAFT viii lose electoral votes, even
though there may be some slump in
popular vote.
Indiana and Wisconsin are being
frankly set down as doubtful and dam
gerOus, but, On the other hand, the Re
pUbllcans talk seriously of carrying
kentucky and Tennessee, and are going
10 mako a great fight for both States,
and for Missouri as well, though with
less hope of carrying the last named
State.
Mr.. Bryan seems doomed to lose many
OF the electoral votes in the Far West
which ne has had at other times. The
real question. after all. is centered in
New York. it is the subject of a Won
derful range OF conjecture. One man

LOng-Distance Convention.

There is a deal of talk about the
present being a long distance telephone
convention. and some Of the political
writer's with short memories are telling
that nothing like it was ever known
before.

strikingly as thu one is being mar aged
by the President; that four years ago.
