peared that the man was a ring
leader of the mob; Mr.. WINS atti-
tude had led him to change his mind,
and when the missionary ran up the
alley he stepped in and barred pur-
suit. He had to knock down a num-
Der of men, and throw two into the
river, but the pursuit was discour-
aged.
In sharp contrast to those stirring
days, Mr.. VIM, than whom no eau
casian is more popular with the
Christians of the island empire, was
called unanimously to become pastor
of the new Dalny and Port Arthur
church. When the attitude of the
Japanese churches toward the mis-
sionaries is remembered, and it is
recalled that in all Japan there is
not another white pastor of a native
congregation, this peculiar honor
conferred upon Mr.. VIM becomes the
more marked. The man himself is
quiet, retiring and soft-spoken, with
out any signs of self-assertiveness.
The Church in a Cathedral.
Still other extraordinary honors
were conferred upon the Winns-for
Mrs. VIM is as popular as her hus-
band with the Japanese, and herself a
resourceful, tireless missionary. While
the American consul was utterly IN
able to secure home, one was pro-
vided, rent free, for the Wins by the
government. Even more noteworthy
raj was turned over to this infant
Japanese church for it's meetings.
The Japanese Christians talked in
the newspapers so much about this
remarkable concession that the au-
thorities were, after time, obliged
to withdraw it; but not until it had
been found by the congregation that
in location and construction the
cathedral was unsuited to their pur-
poses. A new building was furnished
by the government and this is now in
USE pending the erection of church.
In this building two Sunday serv-
ices are held. The congregations
vary because of the shifting nature of
the population. The army men who
were responsible for the establish
ment of the church have all gone,
and the new organization might have
lapsed had it not been for the pres.
ence of the Wins. Some of the
leading men of Dalny were present
the Sunday morning l attended serv-
ice and in the evening there were
upwards of hundred men. In the
afternoon Mr.. VIM had Bible class

Paying Why's of Advertising.

Canterbury CO., Gazette.
You will be pressed for money
oftener because you have no adver-
Using to pay than because you have. :"
observes the Buffalo News. Big
advertising bills and big bank bal
ances grow together out of the SAINT
publicity campaigns" The merchant
who holds down his expense account
by cutting out advertising saves
money just the way the railroads
would if they should stop buying
coal for their locomotives. Without
coal the wheels won't turn, without
publicity trade comes to a stand
still. 1t pays to throw silver out of
the window that gold may come IN
the door.

One of the Texas Congressman is
planning to get through a measure
along with the Income Tax Consti-
tutional Amendment, providing for
the Inauguration OF presidents at a
more favorable time of the year than
March 4th He cites that after each
Inauguration there are always a
number of deaths from patriotic at
PENDANTS, who contracted diseases
from the rigorous weather which
resulted fatally. His claim is that
this can be made a companion bill
to the other and adopted by Con-
gress and the various State Legis-
latures at the same time and with
out any added expense. AS the
measure is universally conceded to
be necessary there should be nc
hitch in its safe passage along this
lengthy route of legislation.

What is Whisky Anyhow.

Aberdeen Examiner.
The Jackson Clarion Ledger says:
President Taft want to know just
what whiskey is? That is the ques-
ton that agitates Mississippians. "
Since prohibition undertook to
prohibit in our State, any old thing
goes. They are swilling Jamaica gin
ger, kidney cure, cologne. and every
drug and nostrum that is even sug-
gestive of alcohol. We have one cpl
cure on that line in Aberdeen who
makes his tipple by a formula con-
tanning red pepper, concentrated lye
Sloans liniment, tobacco, ginger, sug-
ar, varnish, snuff and several other
things, and manages to work up d
terrible jag with the combination.
President Taft though thoroughly
familiar with the OHIO distillation,
would be badly baffled as tester if
turned loose among the nostrums
that now prevail here.

RashIy Condemn Too Much.
Lafayette Co. Press.

Lafayette W. Tr0SS.
Because of the brutal murder Of
the foolish little Sigel girl in New
York City by a jealous Chinaman,
some people are SO foolish as to say
all efforts of missionary work among
them is useless. We have even no.
ted one wild statement that no
Chinaman was ever really converted
Such talk as this is mere rot. There
are criminals among all people. Our
Anglo-Saxon people, the purest
blooded, do equally as revolving
things, too many to mention. Just
as well say there is no use to try to
convert any other nationality as the
Chinese. Some people are so eager
to sieze an opportunity to deliver a
blow at foreign missions.
We suspect the young lady was
silly and indiscreet and the China
man presumptious. but it is folly to
indict the whole race and condemn
the great work of missions just be-
cause of this unfortunate occurrence

Travelling Counties Auditor.

Scott Co. Register.
The Aberdeen Weekly comes out
in a strong editorial endorsing the
travelling auditor plan adopted with
such good results by the state of
Louisiana, and urges it's adoption in
this state. It should be put into
effect at the very next session of the
legislature, says the Columbus Com
mercial, as we doubt if there has
been a set of any county's books
audited in the past ten years, unless
there was some special reason for it..
The grand juries invariably report
them neatly well kept, but these
bodies have neither time or ability to
check over years of work. There
ought to be state auditor or aud
itors to do this work.

full of people A sense OF perversion
haunts one; for here is a big, sub
stantial European city, with rows OF
attractive brick houses, and all the
outward tokens of a prosperous west
ern community; and yet there are
less than a dozen white men in all
Dalny. One may live here for days
without seeing a Caucasian face.
White hands built these houses and
streets and a white brain designed 1t
all. But now the squat Chinese town
off toward the hills is no more or1en-
tai than the population of Dalny, al
though externally the city appears to
be the antipodes Of any Japanese set
Element.
The signs of ruin and defeat on
every hand are depressing. Some of
the finer buildings were burned by
the Russian forces before they eVacu-
ated. and no attempt has been made
to tear down or reconstruct these.
Others are in sad disrepair, simply
because the Japanese, who are camp
ing in them, do not know the use OF
the buildings, which are so unlike
their own. The windows are curtain
less and shutterless. Bricks are fall
ing and decomposing. The very
metal storks that stand guard on the
caves of the houses are tumbling I'M
needed to the ground. The dwellings
are going to ruin and their occupants
are uncomfortable; thus nobody is
satisfied. So numerous, however, Is
the Japanese population that it is i'm
possible to rent house; the Ameri-
can consul asked to be transferred be-
cause he could not get home for
his family.
Good order is preserved in this
strange city. The Japanese are en-
tirely masters of the situation. There
are no Russians, and more Chinese
than Japanese. The former are the
coolies. the jinrickisha men, the
drivers of the low Russian carriages,
or droskas, and the workmen gener-
allv. While it is plain that the Japa-
nese are in command, there is none

Soon after the war was over-in-

had been signed-the Japanese Chris

of the army The same energy and
efficiency displayed in keeping the
widely-separated host of soldiers fed
has always characterized this mans
religious activities. When he had or
ganized the Christians, who were
mostly army officers, into a church,
the question of securing a pastor
arose.
Thereupon a unique distinction was
conferred upon one of the veteran
missionaries of Japan, Rev. T. c.
Winn, a Presbyterian of Osaka. Mr.
Winn had always been engaged in
pioneer work. Before going to Osaka
he had been the first missionary at
KanaZawa, on the east coast, and
many times he had been mobbed.
Once he found a mob, armed with
knives, stones and sharpened bamboo
poles (Which make the WickedeSt OF
spears) waiting outside his meeting
and even tearing down the walls to
get at him. He calmly went out,
faced them for a moment, and then
walked through them, and way
opened for him. But they followed
with increased imprecations. Once
they closed around him, and again he
turned and faced them.
A little further on, as the crowd
grew more and more vehement, and
the clamorings for his life became
more insistent, he darted suddenly
up dark alley, although he knew
that should he begin to run his fate
would be quickly sealed when caught.
Strangely enough. he was not fol
lowed. 1t was many years before he
learned why. On one occasion he
was introduced to big Japanese,
then become a Christian, as the man
who had once saved his life. 1t ap-

The two papers furnished this week

tremely different phases and each
tremendously important, ones of
that subject. All of us may not ex-
actly get the viewpoint in every re-
spect just as these contributors do,
but we can not but fail to admit that
they have touched chords of acute
interest on this theme. No one can
be aroused to the burning necessity
for education who has not been AVA
kened to it's practical potentialities
along the avenues of industry, the
arts or professions, and neither is
anyone rightly stirred to cultivate
the mind until they have had inwrit-
