A correspondent sends to a Paris

to possess a fund of humor which he
intended to expend on priset who
got in at one of the intermediate sta
lions. Bestowing a patrOnising look on
the clergyman. he said:
Have you heard the news, monsieur

reply: 81 have been out all day, and
have not had time to glance at the pa

Then said the traveller: 1T is some
thing dreadful the devil is dead.

without the smallest surprise or dis
pleasure Then. seemingly deeply
touched. he added: Monsieur, / have

MAINTAINING THE OPEN DOOR.

The policy of the United States in
maintaining the open door in Manchuria
has recently been indicated when
Russia was compelled to abandon her
effort to tax Chinese and foreigners
outside the limits CT the Muscovite
concessions at Hardin. Breat Britain
and Germany took the same view Of
the matter as this government and 81
multaneOus representations were made
at ST. Petersburg. which proved effect
i've. This has put a dampeT upon the
Russian pretentions in Manchuria, but
Japan remains TO be Teprimauded for
high-hanjed proceedings in the same
territory. and in this matter neither
the United States nor Great Britain
has come to the fore as the champion
of the open door. In a special dispatch
from Washington to the Chicago
Tribune John Csllan O'Laughlin has
this to say:
THE United States is playing a far
greater role in connection with the
maintenance of the integrity of China
and the open door in that empire than
the people of this country realize. It
of the powers, engineered by the state
department here. which has resulted in
the abandonment by Russia of its poll
cy at Hardin, an important railroad
city of northern Manchuria, which set
at naught the principles this govern
ment long ago proclaimed.
Now it is taking deep interest in the
efforts of China to settle the questions
with Japan growing out of the course
the latter government is pursuing in
southern Manchuria as a result of it's
victory over Russia during the war
three years ago. China has proposed
to Japan the arbitration of these ques-
tons by The Hague. The Japanese
government does not consider that the
questions justify the Intervention of
the other powers or of the court OF ar
bitration.
THE United States is most anxious
that all the questions relating to Man
churia shall be adjusted at the earliest
possible moment, realizing that Man
churia contains germs of grave dissen-
sions which, if not arranged, will lead
to another war"
One question at issue between Chine
and Japan concerns the building of a
railroad in Manchuria. the Chinese de-
string to build the road and the Japan
csc refusing to allow it. Msnchuria
being Chinese territory, it is difficult
for an outsider to discover where the
Japs have any rights in the premises
whatever There is also a dispute con-
corning the importation of salt into
Manchuria from Japan, as well as
other questions involving Chinese SOW
ereignty.
This government is willing to put the
clamps on Russia to preserve inviolate
the open door policy, but when it comes
to giving Japan a gentle hint that a
repetition of her outrageous action in
Korea will not be tolerated in Manchu-
ria, the administration at Washington
winks knowingly to Great Britain, and
the little Jap proceeds TO give the pig
tail of his moon-eyed neighbor another
twist. If the open door is to be main
tanned and the great powers given an
opportunity to participate in the Man
churian trade. the lid cannot be screwed
down on Japan any too soon

BALLENGER'S
STATEMENT
Editorial RevIew.l

The annual report of Secretary OF
the Interior r. A. Ballinger was
made public today. This department
is a kind OF governmental catch-all,
and handles lands, mines, oil we'll,
Indians. islands, reindeer, deaf
mutes,, irrigation projects and the
colored insane. The report is inter-
esting, but too long to print in full.
There are 1876 employees, of
which 1920 are clerks in Washing
ton, d. G. Ballinger reports the great
est problem now being to take care
of the superannuated employees. He
favors an act of congress to practical
iy pension them after a certain age.
But the private citizen would be slow
to understand why a person on good
salaries and short hours all their
lives should not be able to take care
of themselves in old age
Ballinger is happy to report that
the work OF his department is prac-
tically up TO date. In dealing with
public lands he shows that lax meth
