Danger in the West.

Is there danger that the west is growing effete? Are the hardy virtues of the pioneers falling of repetition in the easier lives of their sons? Must the ripened crops languish for lack ot laborers, while the future heirs and heiresses disport themselves? That yeteran friend of the once horny handed farmer, Secretary Wilson, re ports that his client is more than out of debt. He has paid for his farm, his fences and his machinery. He has money in his pockets, the crops keeI on growing, and he is afraid of east cru securities. Hence he buys luxu ries.

A path was being cleared when one looked

Several panes of glass starred with little

china's Four Relations.

China has four state established re-
ligions, and In each the emperor exer-
cises sacerdOtal functions. Twice a
year the emperor as 'sOn Of heaven"
worships before the tablet OF Shang tt
or supreme heaven in accordance with
the ancient imperial monotheism.
Twice a year he burns incense before
the tablets OF bis ancestors in accord
ance with Confucianism. Twice a
year he sacrifices to the gods Of Tao
ism and twice a year to the image Of
Buddha The ancient and primitive
religion Of China IS monotheistic, but
this direct worship was regarded as
too sublime for the people. so that It
became reserved for the emperor alone
as the "son Of heaven" and as priest
Of the nation. The people on their
part wershiped their ancestors, and It
was this ancestral religion which Con-
fucius identified himself with and re-
formed. The old superstitions rejected
by Confucius were absorbed by Tao
ism. which IS polytheistic and the re-
ligion Of the populace. Then Bud
dhism came into China about IS A D.
and, like the other three religions, be-
came state supported and state en-

IL Is said that when Mr.. Yerkes be-
gan to make money some Of the banks
from which he had borrowed thought
to squeeze" him by demanding in
slant repayment or a large eonsidera-
ton for further time. he was invited
to call on one Of these bankers and
there met the others. Their demand
was made, and their victim seemed at
their mercy. They did not, however,
know the resourcefulness Of Mr..
Yerkes, who retaliated by remarking:
"'Well, I owe a lot to all the banks
here. and I'll Just publish a statement
tomorrow in the papers, giving the fun
amounts and stating my inability to
pay. This will make such a run on
the banks that they win soon be as
broke as I should, and therefore I shall
not be the only sufferer"

Throwing Out Feelers.

II is said by Senator Cullom, OF
Il!ionis. who is said to be very near
President Taft, that the time has
come for the Republican party to
cut lose from the negro in the South
and leave him to his fate. This is
strange talk for dyed-in-the-woo!
Republican, but it is stranger still
to be told that Senator Cullom S
statement indicates the real mind
Of the President since his tour Of
the country" From this we would
infer that the Presidents mind has
undergone a change since he took
his long tour over the country.
This tour was made almost entirely
over that portion of the country in
habited by the people of the South
and the "Insurgent Republicans.
and undoubtedly President Taft has
heard something drop that makes
him uneasy as to the future OF his
wing Of the Republican party, and
he hastens. through Senator Cullom,
to throw out a leeleT.
He found the "Insurgent Repub-
licans" as rebellious as ever. They
openly repudiated President Taft and
his administration while he was in
their country trying to convince them
that it was best for the party as well
as the country for them to come back
in the ranks and march under the
Aldrich and Cannon banner. This
the "Insurgent Republicans" refus-
ed TO do, and have served notice
on Taft. Cannon. Aldrich & Co. that
they have not begun to fight yet.
Unless the thieving tariff law IS mod
flied. the Taft wing of the Republi-
can party stands to lose several in
fluential States Of the Middle West.
which means defeat to the band OF
buccaneers" that held up the coun-
try by the adoption Of the late tariff
law. This is what troubles Taft and
the other leaders Of his wing OF the
Republican party, and that accounts
for their great and sudden solicl-
tude about the South.
They fear they will need the
South. because Of the detection OF
the "lnsurgent Republicans. " to keep
them in power and enable them to
continue to rob the masses for the
classes, and. to get the aid OF the
South. they are willing to throw the
negro overheard and let him sink
or swim. BY this little play Taft.
Aldrich, Cannon & Co. hope to in
duce the South to desert her post
of honor and help them plunder the
public as the Republican party has
done for thirty years or more. Presi-
dent Taft also wants to fortl1y
against Roosevelt. who is strong
among the "insurgent Republicans
and who will be TaftIs chief oppo-
nent in the next Republican National
Convention. This is the way it looks
to us. But the whole thing will
amount to nothing. 1t only shows
how desperate Taft, Aldr!ch, Can
non & Co. are. They see day OIL
