The Chinese Parliament.

The@tnnouncement recently made al
Pekin that the date for the institution
of a National Parliament in China has
been advanced two years, to 1913 in
stead of 1915, the time originally set by
the late Dowager Queen, is indicative
not only Of the rapid progress made in
many ways by China within the past
few years, but also of the growing popu-
lar national spirit which has manifested
its Impotence for a constitutional and
representative government. Since the
Russo-Japanese war China has made
remarkable strides in creating and disci-
plining a standing army, organized on
the European plan. She is also en-
deavoring to build navy, and is foster
ing the building Of railroads. In many
other respects there has been an awaken
ing of popular interest in internal inn
proyements and in Western methods of
progress and promotion.
The initial step taken by the Chinese
government for the establishment of
National Parliament was the decree is
sued more than year ago providing
for the organization Of provisional as
sembies to regulate the local affairs Of
each of the provinces, and the forma-
ton of National Senate composed of
a certain number of delegates elected
by the Provincial Assemblies and I
number appointed by the Prince Re-
gent. The work of the Assemblies has
been in the main successful and the
Senate has proved to be of such adj
vantage the Prince Regent has been
to anticipate the original
late for organizing full Parliament.

Father Seeks Daughters.

New Orleans, Nov. 11.-Convinced
that his long lost twin daughters yearn
for his companionship and do not write
! only because they are uneducated or
think him dead, Frank Schrum, in the
shadow of the century mark in years,
to-day appealed to the press to help him
in an effort for final reunion before
death claims him. Mr. Schrum, al
though infirm and almost totally blind,
walked every foot of the distance from
New Orleans to San Francisco and re-
turn in fruitless search for his two
daughters. He got back to New Or
leans last Wednesday.
His daughters, one single and one
married, left him shortly after the Gal
weston flood for San Francisco, since
when he has not heard from them.

prisonment often lettering the loca
courts from holding those who have
been arrested by the watchmen.
The fatalities and injuries are most
frequent where the railroads pass
through man II featuring districts in
which the tracks are lined with fac
tories. The railroad frequently offers
the shortest cut between the factory
and the home. and statistics show that
men of the laboring class, artisans and
their wives and children, are annually
killed by the hundred Evidently the
remedy for this shocking slaughter,
which stands as a distinct reproach
against the civilization Of America, is
to be found in the thorough co-opera-
ton of city and country authorities
with the railroads in the rigid enforce
ment of the law against trespass.
So long as the public realizes that
warning placards, railroad watchmen
and laws against trespass are subject to
the caprice Of the local Magistrates who
look with lenient eye upon offenders,
will continue to walk or the
track and this horrible annual roll of
deaths and injury will continue to in
crease. Scientific American.

Officers Arrest Saloon Keepers

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 12.-Whole-
sale arrests are being made to-day OF
saloonists and others charged with viola
ton of the temperance laws. About
300 presentments have been reported by
the grand jury, growing out of the de-
cision by the supreme court sustaining
the validity Of the statute making a fed
eral license prima facie evidence of vio-
lation of law on which an Indictment
may be returned.
Officers Of the criminal court, armed
with scores OF capiases, started running
in alleged offenders last night and by
noon to-day fifty or more had been ar
rested. Nearly all of the most prom
inent dealers in the central part OF the
city have been served with capiases and
have given bond in the sum OF $500
each to appear for trial.

Railroad Trespassers.

1t is not generally understood how
large a proportion OF the deaths and
injuries on the railroads of this country
is due to the risks wilfully taken by
trespassers who persist in using the right
of way of public thoroughfare.
The annual reports of the Interstate
Commerce Commission for the last
seven years show that in this period
105, 900 persons were killed or injured
and that of this total about So 900 were
killed outright The large ratio of fla
talties to injuries, which is several
times larger than the ratio that obtains
in the case Of accidents to passengers
and employees, suggests that practically
all these accidents were due to tres
passers being struck by moving trains.
The records Of the commission show
that in 1898 4 ,063 trespassers lost their
lives on American railroads. that five
years later the number of killed was
5000, and that in 1907 it rose to ), S21;
til at is TO say, on every day OF that year
an average of over fifteen people lost
their lives entirely through their own
folly in trespassing on the right of way
of the railroads. Figures compiled by
the Pennsylvania Railroad alone show
that 400 trespassers lost their lives on
that systems lines in 1899, and 781
were killed in 1904; while in 1907 the
number reached 915, an average OF
about three for every business day of
the year In the last named year this
company inaugurated vigorous cam
paign against trespassers, and as re-
suit the number Of fatalities in 1908
was reduced to 757.
There is no country in the world
where the loss of life due to trespassing
on railroads approaches these figures,
not even if we take into consideration
the smaller mileage of the railway sys- !
TENS in Europe and elsewhere The
difference is easily explained. 1t is due
to the stringent laws in Europe against .
trcspassing, to the careful policing Of /
the tracks aud especially to the fact
that violations of the law are invariably I
punished Here in the United States
are exceedingly lax. Some
of the railroads, and notably the one
referred to here, endeavor to enforce

Ollie James Arrives.

Representative Ollie NJ. James, from
Kentucky, in Washington. was asked
what he Thought of the result and the
causes thereof. He said
The complete and overwhelming
overthrow Of the Republican party
throughout the nation was caused by
the passage OF the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill, the mammoth and extravagant
and wasteful expenditure of the people s
money, and further by the fact that
they have allowed monopoly to almost
entirely throttle individual effort and
competition The high cost OF living
made the life OF the wage Garner a
dreary one; from the full dinner pail he
had graduated into full membership OF
the demonstrating clubs. The people
did not believe with Taft that Senator
Aldrich was the purest and best states
man of this generation, for they did
not think this could be true of one
who would vote the tariff up upon ar
ticles like he did upon rubber when the
profit poured into his own pocket.
TAFT LOSES OPPORTUNITY.
Taft had one opportunity; it was a
great one, such as comes not even to
Presidents but rarely, and that was to
have vetoed the Payne Aldrich bill, in
a few lines, to have said it does not
meet our promise to the people. This
would have made bonfires burn upon
every hill and in every valley in the Re-
public. Instead, he signed it; he al
lowed Cannon and Aldrich to over
persuade him; he sought to bolster his
approval OF the tariff bill by giving a
certificate Of character and statesman
ship to its authors, but the people
would net follow him.
THE people did not like President
Taft's official advisers, they thought
Ballinger ought to step aside, they be-
lieved the President had the former rep
resentatives OF too many trusts at his
round table. The people have turned
to Democracy for relief, and il we act
wisely the Presidency is ours. Lower

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

way to cure Deafness and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an infamed
