Deep Snow in Custer.

MILES CITY, May 23.-Four feet of

China's Relation With Us
Will Be Always Friendly.

BY WI TING FANG. Chinese Minister
relations with America will always remain friendly.
It is natural that they should be so when you consider on
your side that your policy is JUSTICE AND FAIR
PLAY and on IL side HONESTY AND STRAIGHT
FORWARDNESS.
You may be sure acts of kindness and fairness, such al return or
waiver of over ten millions of dollars to China, will certainly create a
most favorable impression in China and strengthen the bond of friend
ship between the two countries, and the existence Of an important and
influential association like this I consider a SAFETY VALVE Of
the two nations.
No more misunderstanding, I feel sure, can occur in the future,
and the relationship between the two countries will yet become
CLOSER DAY BY DAY.

Our Patriotic Duty
To Control MOnOpOlies.

By United States senator ROBERT l. OWEN OF okhhoms
- HE time has come in the United States when THE GREAT
DOCTRINE OF EQUALITY should be recognized in
our statecraft. 1t seems to me it would be unwise to destroy
the great corporations which have been constructed in this
country by our so called captains of industry.
WE HAVE A PERFECT RIGHT. HOWEVER, TO CONTROL THESE
MoNoPoLlEs LEGALLY AND MORALLY, AND IT Is A PATRIOTIC
DUTY TO DO so. AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE PERMITTED TO
TAX THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN EXCESS OF A FAIR INTEREST
ON THE CAPITAL ACTUALLY INVESTED.
If they were so controlled it would give a stability to wages. We
would hear no more Of overproduction nor of underconsumption,
but these enterprises would PROCEED UPON RATIONAL LINES
and work for the welfare of all of the people of our common country.

A charge brought against the theater is that it represents vice.
Of course it does. 1t represents virtue. Why not vice? All people
r not paragons of virtue. But for morals, as such, tt is rank absurd
lty that W G should use them in Theatre or any other art. Nature,
phiess, beautiful, barbarous, soothing, murderous, exalhng nature, is
Indifferent to them. Why should art, the handmaiden of nature, who
takes only hints and primal truths from her mistress, observe themg
g. YET OUR ART MUST BE MORAL FOR ALL THIS. AN I'M.
MORAL ART WOULD BE A HORROR.
1t were vain in the present day, after Shakespeare has transformed
the stage into A HIGH SCHOOL OF HUMANITY and Schiller
and Goethe have crystallized it into a handmaiden of ethics and Chris
tianity, to enter on any defense of its recognized authority as a moral
agent. The stage in its highest conception is a POWERFUL CO.
ADJUTOR OF THE CHURCH in making men better, wiser and
happier, and even in its less lofty attitudes it lights up with genial
mrth the hard lot of the toiling masses.

nifty. If the manner of the theater is to be regarded
as an art at all it must be of beneficent influence, for
ALL ART is UPLIFTING. Without art we
should go down the byways of existence and know
little except the sordid. Think of LIFE WITH
OUT A SONG, a picture, a poem, a beautiful
building or a statue!
ALL ART IS THE EXPRESSION OF An EMO
TON, AND THAT OF THE THEATER is THE
MOST EMOTIONAL OF ARTS,
