tlhc agricultural methods arc needed.
To the United States. China is send
ing young men TO acquire wisdom and
knowledge of all these things. It will
be disseminated again to the millions,
through Am~cricanizcd institutions, in
dustries, and educational processes. The
advantages TO both countries are so
obvious as hardly to need elucidation.
The present significant incident is the
fact that the frst-class Of Chinese young
men. selected for the ciCht-year course
in American schools and colleges. are
now about leaving for the trip TO the
States. Each year will see their mum
Der augmented. They come by selec-
tion OF their government. for the avow-
ed purpose of getting and taking back

program she proposed. It turns out
now that this is the case. This must
give a feeling of relief TO the men, who
feared they were to be subjected to the
remorseless treatment dealt out by the
suffragettes to their opponents.
At the same time. it Is unfortunate
that differences should arise between
Mrs. Belmont and other suffrage lead
crs because Mrs. Belmont is getting too
prominent. But VIC felt sure ever since
that lunch at Delmonico's 10 which
some of the ~suffragists were not in
vited that there was trouble ahead.
Il all goes to show that if women do
get the ballot. there will be interesting
times for the woman who gets rather
more limelight than her sisters.
Still, bearing in mind the Cook-Pcary
controversy, it is possible the women
are entitled TO say they are no more
jealous of hOnors sor eager for public
notice than the sex that already yields

GENERAL GRANT FOR THE
PRACTICE MARCH.

In view of the continual chorus of
complaint from army sources about
the practice march, which by many
army men is looked on as n needless
hardship. without compensating bene-
fits. it is interesting to hear the words of
Gen. Frederick d. Grant on the subject.
General Grant, who has made his
annual report as commander of the
Department of the Lakes. not only sees
good in the practice march, but believes
it good alike for the troops and for
the country. He says:
Practice marches have been made
by all the troops in this department.
These marches are bringing the soldiers
into contact with the people of the
country, who begin 10 see and realize
the United States has an army and an
efficient one. The good behavior of the
soldiers and the thorough discipline
maintained among them have done
much toward making friends along
their routes of march for the army and
look forward to the time. which I
trust is not far in the future, when
the army viii again attain its old
time popularity in the United States"
Coming from a soldier who caught
his first impressions of soldering with
his father in the strenuous days of the
civil war. these utterances are worth
considering. They have a refreshing
sound when compared with the utter
ances of those officers who are forever
~bemoaning the hsrdships of the Prac-
tice march and can see no good in the
soldier spending a part Of his time I'M
der conditions approximatilg those of
real campaigning.
II may well be doubted if any soldier
/ At to be il the army can take a proper
" REQUESTED practice march without
benefits. such as a better physique, a
more thorough knowledge of how to
take care of himself in the field, and
a better understanding of the people
and the country.
The puolic, as General Grant indi-
Gates, is likely to learn some new facts
as TO the army and, he might have
added, the experience is Likely to be
even more valuable TO the officers
than to the men. 1t will be a mistake
to abolish the practice march, simply
because its hardships are decried in
some quarters. And, in the same con
nection, it may be well for the War
Department authorities TO think twice
before giving ear to all the ob;urgations
against the test ride for officers. It
does not appear that the tendency in
the armies OF other leading countries is
10 soften the requirements Of training
for either officers or soldiers.

MRS. BELMONT'S PR
CAUSES TROUBLE.

That which was greatly 10 DO feared
among the leaders Of the woman suf-
frsge movement has come 70 pass. The
prominence OF Mrs. o. ri. p. Belmont
in promoting the suffrage cause and
the extent TO which the press has been
exploiting the activities Of Mrs. Bel
mont has aroused a feeling of uneasi-
ness among officers Of the National
Woman Suffrage Association and others
in some official way connected with
the fight for suffrage.
Seemingly. there is a feeling that
Mrs. Belmont is getting more ,ttention
than is her due. We would not for a
moment suggest that it is . feeling
akin TO jealousy, though doubtless
some suspicious folks who are opposed
tn suffrage will voice an opinion Of
that sort about it. Such eminent lead
ers Of suffrage as the Rev. Anna Shaw
and Mrs. Ida Hustled Harper are max
ing it plain that whatever Mrs. Bel
mont has said about suffrage, IS merely
a personal opinion and in no n an
official one.
One Of Mrs. Belmont's u%tterances
that does not please the national lead
ers is her declaration hat ~bloodshed
may be necessary before women get
the ballot. They are not for the boy
cotting Of the men and the manhandiing
Of the male sex in any brutal fashion.
They would use methods and measures
more persuasive and less militant.
II was suggested at the time that
Mrt Belmont proposed to boycott and
bluizeon the men that she might haye
difficulty in uniting all her sex on th'

CHINESE STUDENTS IN AMER,

In the far East vastly more than in
the West, the voyage Of Commodore
Perry 10 Japan a little more than a
hslf-century ago, is regarded as a mile
stone on the road Of the East 10 West

pect that one day the Inauguration, by
the Chinese government, Of the policy
Of maintaining a large corps Of Chinese
students in American schools, may be
deemed quite as important a land
mark on the road of Eastern progress.
China's leaders have come 10 a thor
oughly intelligent recognition of the
fact that their country must progress.
They are willing. wen anxious that IL
should do so. They ~stipulate only that,

have an alien leadership imposed upon
If. Il does not want TO be intellectual
w and industrially subiugated; it does
want 10 lift itself up. of It's own
strength: and it is confident that it
can do this.
There have been efforts by Germany,
by Russia, by Japan, 10 impose the
alien leadership; and the American
mart in the far East has been o leading
one in preventing Just that. China
has been appreciative, and so it comes
about that the returned Boxer indem-
nifty has been established as a fund TO
maintain Chinese students in Ameri-
can schools,
China has need of men with Western
education. II wants its own people to
be equipped 10 manage the new con
stitutional government that is coming.
II would take its customs administra-
ton out Of foreign hands. IL would
have its railroads built by Chinese en-
gineers, and operated by Chinese citi-
zens. China il 20 have a new and
modern banking and monetary system ;
naturally, she wants that system in the
domination of Cinnamon.
