China and the North Pole.

1t is reported, on what authority can
not be vouched for. nor does it particu-
larly matter. that Minister WI Ting-fang
comes into the polar controversy with
the statement that the north pole was
discovered by Chinaman more than
5000 years ago.
This statement should cause no sur
prise. 1t was to be expected. 1t was
bound to come. If Mr.. WI had not said
it somebody else would. The statement
might have come from a member of the
faculty Of Chicago University.
The Chinese seem to have been a won
derful people. They must have been the
Americans of antiquity. They seem to
have always been doing something and
doing it first They have a long past
and 1t must have been busy one. Before
the Christian era China must have been
the inventive center of the universe:
Every coolie. rice planter and tea picker
must have been a genius, a philosopher a
savant or an intellectual hustler of some
sort. There seems to have been nothing
to which the Chinaman did not turn his
hand.
Say that a Genoese navigator discov-
cred that the magnetic needle pointed
north and you will be confronted with a
statement that the compass was used In
China many thousand years B. c.
Say that Roger Bacon invented gun
powder and you will then learn that gun
powder was burned in China when the
earth was an infant bit of nebula.
Speak of celestial eclipses and know
that in China lunar, solar and stellar
eclipseS were computed before the ar
chaean rocks were hard.
Speak of Faust and Gutenberg and
then hear that the printing art was
highly developed in China before the
Chaldeans were pressing characters on
sun-baked bricks or Egyptians scrib-
bling on papyrus.

Denver's Plaza.

Denver is pushing it's beauty campaign.
One feature of that city's ambitious plan
is the creation Of civic center or plaza
of which the statel1ouse and it's noble
grounds will form the nucleus. The pro-
gressive people of Denver say this plaza
shall rival in art value the most beau
tiful plazas Of the old world. The city is
wrought up over the proposal. There, as
in all other cities. many men oppose the
beauty plan. THE cost is too great"
Taxes are already heavy There is no
utility in the. scheme and the usual ar
guments put forth by civic holdbacks
are being made. The estimate of the cost
Of the property to be acquired is l.6OO. 900
"a trifie measured by the wealth of Dem
yer.
The Denver beauty project has been
| under consideration since 1904. when the
mayor called on the Denver art commits
sion for suggestions for civic improve
ments. A civic center design was drawn
by Charles Milford Robinson and re-
jected because of its cost. The civic GEN.
ter now proposed was designed by Fred
erick MacMonnies, the sculptor, in 1906
Denver believes that the increased value
Of the property adjacent to the civic GEN.
ter will balance the cost Of the property
taken for the Improvement. Then, again,
Denver wants to use its civic beauty as
an advertisement to attract population
and to draw business. 1t is q great tour
list city, about 100000 persons having
been taken there this year by the rail-
roads. 1t is estimated that 10000 tour
list tickets were not turned in for valida-
ton for return passage.
Denver wants every tourist to become a
perambulating advertisement for Denver.
1t wants to increase its population by
making itself a better place to live in.
There is no reason why city should be
unsightly or unwholesome.

on the queen. but the king must die, and
then republic will be proclaimed.
Nc more is known in Europe than in this
country of the details OF the trial. 1t is
charged that the accused had no trial at
all. but was drumheaded to his death. We
are asked to believe that he was not al

plain matters that appeared to bear agains,

authorities he was bearing bad name,
