LAUDEO BY
Mr.. TAFT
CANDIDATE PRAISES
THEIR WORK IN CHINA
Believes Nations Favoring the
Open Door Policy Should
Encourage the Governmental
Reforms in FIowery Kingdom

IBy Morning JOurna; special Leased WireI
Hot Springs, Va, Aug. 24-Judge
Taft took occasion today to express
himself as heartily favoring the eff
forts of American missionaries in
China as the most effective method of
bettering the condition of that nation
and of establishing cordial relations
between the Chinese and American
governments. This expression was
given in an extended conference he
had with Rev. George w. Painter, who
for thirty-fve years has been a mis-
sionary at Hang Chow, China. for the
Presbyterian church.
DR.. Painter came here to give Mr..
Taft information respecting the in
teTnational political situation in
China. He said that China was awak-
ening from a Rip Van Wrinkle sleep
of ages and awakening with anger at
the nations, which were seemingly di-
viding up her territory among them
selves. The most favored national
doctrine when applied in China, he
said, seemed to be that when one ma
tion got a piece of territory that the
other nations interpreted it as giving
them the right to take something
equally as good" In this connection,
he said, the Indications were that the
United States was acquescing with
European nations in Japan's possess
sion of Korea and domination of Man
churia, simply to keep bone of con-
tiontion between China and Japan to
prevent union which would. without
doubt, make the yellow peril" a re-
atty After the conference Mr.. Taft
said for publication;
"The United States and others who
favor the open door policy will, If they
are wise, not only welcome but en-
courage the great Chinese empe'e to
take long steps on administrative and
governmental reforms, in the develop
ment of her natural resources and the
Improvement of the welfare of her
people. 7 don't view with alarm the
growth of China into a great indus
trial empire. / believe that this in
stead of injuring foreign trade with
China would greatly increase it.
1--WE ought to welcome China's
growth as an important power. We
ought not to be jealous of it, for it is
the blindest kind of policy to retard
the development of a nation in the
hope of thus increasing our trade.
Our greatest trade is with the most
prosperous The Chinese are a great
people and they ought to be helped to
develop"
Taft spoke appreeiatively of the
work done in China by the mission
aries. "They are doing a great work
there" he said "They are showing
our best side to the people Of the
Orient"
Senator Hopkins, of Illinois, will be
here tomorrow
Mr.. Vorys. Mr.. Taft's chief of staff
left here tonight for Detroit to at

TROOPS ON TRAIT OF
IMPUDENT ROAD AGENT

Butte, Ang. 24.-One highwayman,
wearing a black mask, held up and
robbed the passengers of seven stage
coaches in Yellowstone park this
morning at a point only q few miles
distant from the Old Faithful inn,
near the upper basin, according to tel
egraphic advices received this after
noon. The coaches left the hotel In
the usual order. at intervals of few
minutes, and were held up one after
the other as fast as they came in
sight. The highwayman was stationed
at a bend In the road. where he was
invisible from either direction. At the
point of a rifle he lined up the pas
sengers and after relieving them of
money and valuables allowed them to
enter the stage and resume the jour-
ney. The performance the bandit en-
acted seven times.
It is understood from the meager
accounts received Of the affair at a
late hour today that he collected in
all considerably more than $1,000
The fact that tourists in the park
are not permitted to carry weapons
made it impossible for any of the pas
sengers or drivers 10 offer resistance.
The robber was a man about 55
years old, weighing aboIt 140 pounds.
He wore q coat and vest of mixed gray
and brown goods and blue overalls.
After holding up the last coach he dis
appeared into the hills and It was aft
erward found that he had made his
escape on horse belonging to the
transportation companies.
All haste was made back to Old
Faithful inn and the ride in the six
