Man has found various reasons for be-
ing honest. A man may be legally honest.
That means that he pays his debts and car
ries out his contracts according to law He
either fears or respects the law or both.
A man may be honest because he fears
God. In that case he complies with his
obligations to an extent that in his judg-
ment will appease his deity. He is honest
because he fears Gods wrath or he may
fear both law and God. Either form of
honesty is beneficial to society and in either
case the man wins the confidence of the
business world, but in neither case is he

life he had devoted much thought to the

He came to the conclusion that there was a

him to do.

HESITATE TO AnegR China.
Why Powers Decided RIOT to Protest

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE predom-
mating reason that mas Influenced the
American and British ministers at Pc
kin in abandoning their project for a
protest by the p5wers against any dis
turbsnee Of the present policy Of the
Chinese government is believed here 70
be largely the delicacy Which this gov
eminent has felt in approaching the
Chinese government on this subject.
1t was difficult TO anticipate how any
representations along this line might
be received, for it is realized that the
Chinese are sensitive on any intimz-
tons which convey the impression that
they are not capable Of hanging their
own affairs. There was a question
also whether these would have been
excusable, notwithstanding the great
interests the governments, particularly
that Of the United States. have in the
preservation Of peace in China and the
maintenance Of its progressive policy

been no serious results following

Seattle, Jan. 12.-Just on the eve of
sending 5000 to the quske-stricken
inhabitants Of Europe for relief from
devastation and horror. the entire
Northwest awoke TO the realization
yesterday afternoon that it had fair
sized temblor Of its own to cope with,
and there were many who showed per-
ceptible signs Of being panic stricken.
From exactly $3.50 o'clock and until
seven minutes and 30 seconds after
that time, the seismograph at the uni
versity station showed activity. Dur
ing this time for at least Is seconds,
the movement was so strong as to
cause many persons living in tall build
ings to fee into the halls and wildly
attempt to get on the ground floor in
elevators. The movement was north
and south.
While no damage was reported in
Seattle, Northwestern cities as far
away as towns in Northern British Co
lumbia report unusual conditions. Cit
les in Northwestern Washington all
were affected and from Blaine comes
the report that there are but two brick
and concrete structures in the whole
town that do not show the signs Of the
shake. These appear in seams running
from fine point to the width Of an
inch.
At Port Angeles the shock was ex-
tremely severe. It began with heavy
and accelerating rumbling and wound
up with two distinct shocks within a
seconds time. Clocks were stopped
and dishes on plate racks and bric-a-
brac were thrown on the floor. Wares
on store shelves were ratified and
thrown down. Almost the entire popu-
lation became terror stricken and ran
into the streets. Plastering left the
walls in the three story buildings and
some who were walking the streets
claim to have been almost taken of
their feet.
The same condition is reported from
Fort Worden, near Port Townsend, an'

fell, bringing down pipe and all. Ana

seconds, with no damage. Bellinghsn

BUOY CROSSES NORTH POLE
Takes Eight Years to Float From
Canada 70 Norway.

Christisna, Nor, Jan. 1.-THE me-
neurological institute has received a
letter from Soroe, Denmark, stating
that buoy driven ashore November 3
contained a notice that the buoy was
set adrift on July p, 1900, near Cape
Bathurst, and was 400 kilometers north
east Of the Mackenzie river. Cape
Bathurst is in British America on the
Arctic ocean, lying in latitude TO:lS7
N, longitude 127 80 W.
1t is believed here that the buoy
which thus drifted more than eight
years, was carried through the polar
seas between Greenland and Spitzber-
gen. If this is so, it would seem to
support the conclusion on which Cap
tain Ronald Amundsen has based his
future expedition on tbs Framm-
Captain Amundsen's expedition Of

MAY NOT SEND BELL WEST.
Philadelphia Reluctant TO Lend Relic
Lest IL Break.

Philadelphia, Jan 1.-THE efforts
TO have the Liberty Bell taken to the
Pacific coast 70 become feature in the
various celebrations may not be sue
cessful. The old bell has been taken
to at least four expositions and 10 9TH
er celebrations outside this city in the
last rs years, and every time. it is
brought back movement is started to
prevent the historic bell from again
leaving Philadelphia. Notwithstsni-
ing this agitation, city councils, which
have the power to authorize the BELLS
being taken from the city, have nearly
always granted the requests, as coun-
ellis co not like to place the city in the
position Of being discourteous or indif-
ferent to the requests. Requests have
already been made here TO have the bell
go to the Northwest, but nothing off,
cial has been done.
One Of the reasons against taking the
bell West is-because OF the great dis
lance to be Travelled and the liability OF
the bells breaking. The old relic is
in glass case on the ground floor Of
Independence hall, and is under con
slant guard day and night.
