county ale better than was
expected, also the acre is larger

growers. Late fall pasturage is
excellent, and the cattle are
looking unusually well.

bounded spirit of enthusiasm
and generous acclaim that has
been constantly noted in other
places was folly in evidence at
Tazewell. as well as at the other
places where Mr.. Slemp and his
assisting speakers have since
appeared.
On Wednesday, Mr.. Slemp,
Mr.. Dobson and Mr.. Gleaves
spoke to a crowd of 600 at Rich

royal reception. The good
people of that republican
stronghold turned out almost
entirely. and the rOusing good
will with which they greeted
Mr. Slemp was worth going a
long way 10 see.

they went to Swords Greek,

Chinese Caution Winning.

China is developing along TIL" lines
laid down by the civilization of the
western hemisphere. even though an
occasional outbreak against the for
eigncrs seems to give the lie to such a
statement. Things move more slowly
in the East than in the West. but re-
suits are just as certain in both in
stances. Chinese fanatics may rise
up and kill at times, but those out
RACES are becoming less frequent and
the danger of their recurrence less,
acute all the time.
Incidentally the Chinese are taking
up the limited monarchy form Of gov
crnment The attention of the world
was rivcted on the proposal to adopt
that sweeping change at the time that
it was announced, but since. then it
has been forgotten. excer;t by the peo-
pie directly Interested. Ncverthe-
less China has been r slowly adopting
that system and has somehow man
aged to reserve the power to those
best able t" govern. the educated peo-
pie.

thousands of good American citizens

K stance the electorate is limited to
males % years old and over who have
completed a three years service in edu-
cational or other work conducive to
the public good: who have been gradu-
ated from Chinese or foreign schools
of IA specified standing: who have re-
ccivcd certain degrees under the old
system of examination: who have held
civil or military office of prescribed
rank or who own property worth at
least $1,000. Even if a man be able to
satisfactorily conform to any Of these
conditions. he is not permitted to vote

or is otherwise Objectionable.
