Like other old countries, China has
its great architectural wonders which
the tourist may well pause to inspect
Here are walls and other structures
more ancient than any European cathe-
drals, dating from periods as remote as
that in which the great temples, bas-
ilicas and forums of the Romans and
the Greeks were constructed, whose
ruins are now so eagerly sought by the
tourists Inscriptions are to be seen
which were cut into stone eight centu-
ries or more before the Christian era.
Ir. the presence of these structures the
traveller may have twenty to thirty
centuries looking down upon him."
Yet stranger and more wonderful than
all these ancient structures are the
manners and customs of the people. in
which we likewise can turn back the
pages of history and view the expert
ences and customs of this people of
twenty to thirty centuries ago. Perhaps
nowhere else On the globe at the pres
ent time or throughout history is there
another so perfect an illustration of con-
servatism as a national trait as we have
In the Chinese nation. The structures
now being built the implements used.
the crops and animals raised, even the
language spoken and the written char
acters used, we have reason TO believe,
are very much the same as were those
of two or three milleniums ago, or in
the earliest dawn of Chinese history. 1t
is with a mixed feeling of awe and of
wonder, with also that of reverence.
that we stand in the presence of such
antiquity in material structures and So
cial institutions.
AS works of art these temples, pa
godas, towers and palaces are hardly

the ancient Greeks and Romans They
are so very different. There is a charm
I'm these oriental structures in which one
might prohtably linger TO more fully
appreciate. The hurried traveller in
clines to tire of seeing temples, temples,
temples, which, together with pagodas,
walls and towers, are almost the only
things pointed out to the stranger as
worth seeing. We ourselves. in the days
spent in some of the large Chinese
cities and country towns, found more
interest in the life of the people them
selves.
OF all the ancient structures that we
saw. none other is so wonderful, and
so beyond human comprehension In its
magnitude, as is the Great Wall of Chi
ma. This enormous structure, built
some 1000 years ago to keep out various
predatory tribes, is nearly 1900 miles

repl ace the government bonds
sold. This amount as stated by
Auditor Walker was S1,9l3 1866
but whether this was the amount
actually realized from the sale
there is no way of showing since the
transaction was never entered ia
the state books. The Globe
Democrat has proved to it's own
satisfaction, that there was no
such an entry, by challenging the
citation OF the year,day and page.
The refusal of the Democrats to
accept this challenge to acquit
their party OF fraud was conclu-
sive enough, but more conclusive
is the report of the expert ac-
countants employed by the
Dockery administration to
"straighten things OUT" and who
say on page 81, Sales of United
States bonds, and purchases of
Missouri State bonds were
made through this firm.
There is no formal account on the
general book. of the state showing
the transactions had. What is
known is that the state bonds
bought with a part of the proceeds
of the government bond sale were
soon exchanged for certificates of
Indebtedness, and that new certif-
Gates of indebtedness were issued
every time any money found it's
way into the school fund, the cash
being taken and q certificate left
in its place. The year before the
first of these certi 1cates was due
for payment, seeing that the trick
was played out and must loon be
exposed, the ring amended the

Tale of "a Missing Dollar

Writing party resolutions is a
work in which humor should new
er be an element. AS the deliver
ance of a party appealing to the
public for support a political plat
form should let Joking alone. The
writer's of such documents always
do let it alone. They are, almost
invariably. men, overcome by a
n of their Importance, and
they take up there task in a SER
i%ousness, which is overpowering.
But this seriousness is often so
exaggerated that it defeats itself as
i1 did in the making of the plat
form adopted by the Jefferson City
Convention last Wednesday.
Therein, after the Republican
party mad been arraigned fl
charging a loot of the school fund,
It is said that since that party has
had opportunity to ''see the
books'it has not found zone dollar
missing" That is the little joker
in the Jefferson City platform.
To find "one dollar missing
from the Missouri school fund it
would first be necessary to
find the fund itself. An
accountant may work all day and
all night to find a missing dollar
needed to strike a balance, but the
dollor that is missing will be
missed by him only because there
are other dollars which are not
missing. He would not have 10
get a headache in trying to find a
missing dollar, if there were not
other dollars, certified by vouchers
to give point to the question OF
where the missing dollar may be
found. No expert accountant has
ever worked Jar into a night try
ing to strike a balance withouI
either cash, vouchers, securities
