Democracy as we know 1t now would never have been possible. In Rome the news of the day was obtained by the rich through number of copies. made by slaves, of set of notes about current events Caesar, at that time making his way as leader of the popu- lar party. conceived the Idea of fur nishing this news to all the people. His method was to have the facts written on walls here and there throughout the city. This writing was after a time erased and newer in- formation was substituted. This first popular newspaper.

Once ChInaman Always Chinamsu.

Washington CD. e. Post
 China Is yet land and a people ruled by ancestors. A Chlnaman belongs. soul and body to his home land because his an cestors belonged there. The wandering Mongol who dies in a foreigA land has paid tribute all his toillng years to a brother hood whose sacred duty Is to coffin hts bones and send him back to his native land for burial Not even after his death will his country relinquish her claims to him. Why should the Chinese government be interested In keeping American.born Chinese familiar with the reading and writ ing of the old language when it Is presum- ed that they and their children will re- main in America henceforth? The answer Is that such Is never the presumption The governments theory Is that Chinaman Is here only by the accident of birth or to get money. and when 1t becomes possible he will take his money and go to live and snioy 1t in tue Flowery Kingdom.

A Servant Problem.
,Irnnha Bee

 It Is something of a relief to ma In the midst of a political campaign that Is occupying most cf the attention of men. a new light on the servant prob lem a question that 1t with us at all times. regardless of election results. The new contribution on this topic comes from the distinguished bishop of Tasmania. who carries the Australia doctrine of absolute equality among man into practice in his domestic af- fairs He argues that no social line can be drawn in work and that the household servant Is on just as high a u.ane as the man or woman who works for hire in any line. He contends that inc scullery maid and the charwoman should be treated as the full equal of the editor, preacher, expert engineer or any other persons who works for wages.
 The bishops theory is far from new. but he is persisting in practicing 1t. in face of the record of failure by others along that line. Of course. there is the other side to the questions. If inc bishop insists that all the family ana servants are on the same plane he should accept an admonition from the coachman to Hurry up Bish, old sox. or you'll be late to church." in the same spirit of subllmated fellowshiu in which 1t Is offered.

How ever. after the Cleveland wing of the party fell in line. together with the Bryan element, and many other favor able symptoms it looked for a while as if that Christian statesman and true patriot. MT. Bryan. would be elected in 1908. Fate decreed other wise. and for the next four years Mir. raft will occupy the place now held by MT. Roosevelt, his sponsor in the race for the Presidency.
