HONESTY IN CHINA.
You Can Trust Native to Perform
Whatever He Promises.

Whatever He Promises.
~chinese life or the phases of it
that you see along the highroads of
the northwest would appear to be a
very simple, honest life, industrious,
methodical, patient in poverty"
writes Samuel Merwin in his book,
@Druggiag a Nation" ''The men,
even Of the lowest classes, are cour-
teous to degree that would shame
q Frenchman.
a have seen two soldiers" writes
Mr.. Nerwu, %who earned 10 or 20
cents day greet my cook with such
grace and charm Of manner that !
felt like a crude barbarian as !
watched them.
"You soon learn in China that
you can trust Chinaman to carry
through anything he agrees to do
for you. When reached Taiyuan-
fu I handed my Interpreter Chi
nese draft for 5000, Mexican, pay
able to bearer, and told him to go
to the bank and bring back the
money. had known John little
over week, yet any one who knows
China will understand that I was
running no appreciable risk, and
the outcome justified nv faith.
'The individual Chinaman is
simply a part of family, the fami-
y is part Of a neighborhood, the
neighborhood is part of q village or
district, and SO on.
ON all its relations with the cen
tral government the province is re-
sponsible for the affairs Of its larger
districts, these for the smaller dis
tricts, the smaller districts for the
villages, the villages for the neigh
borhoods, the neighborhoods for
the family, the family for the indi-
Udual.
'Tf John had disappeared with
my money after cashing the draft
punishment would have been swift
and severe. Very likely he would
have lost his head. If the authori-
ties had been unable to find John
they would have punished his fami-
". Punishment would surely have
fallen upon somebody.
"The real effect of this system,
continued as it has been through
unnumbered centuries, has natural
ly been to develop a clear, keen
sense of personal responsibility. For
whatever may occur somebody is
responsible. The family in order
20 protect itself trains its individ-
uals to live up to their promises or
else not to make promises. The
neighborhood, well knowing that it
will be held accountable for its
units, watches them with a close
eye.
when new family comes into
a neighborhood the neighbors crowd
about and ask questions which, in
view Of the facts, are not so imper-
tinent as they might sound. In
deed, this sense of family and neigh
borhood accountability is so deeply
rooted that it is not uncommon on
the failure Of q merchant to meet
his obligations for his family and
friends to step forward and help
to settle his accounts. 1t is the
only way in which they can clear
themselves"

ing Pairing That Has Stood
For Fifty Years.
MOVE AGAINST INsURGENTS."
Pair Clerks ut Spcakcr's Desk Instruct
cd to Cease Pairing Republicans
Except Under Instruction.

washington, Jan. 11.-An ancient Gus
tom of the house OF Representative
which has been in use for 80 years WAS
overturned today by Representative
Dwight OF New York. Republican whip.
when he instructed the pair clerks at
the speakers desk to cease pairing Re-
publican members except under pre-
scribcd conditions.
The move Is declared by Democrats
and insurgents" to be move against
the latter. and intended to give the or
ganization additional leverage waen
close votes occur.
Representative Garner of Texas. m
porary Democratic whip, said that Mr.
Dwight had Instructed the pair er!xS
10 make no pairs excepting on Dwight {,
approval.
This Mr.. Dwight denies. but the up
shot of the matter was that Mr. Gar
ner invoked as a counter move a long
buried and hitherto unobservcd rule OF
the house, and members will hereafter
be required To make their pairs In writ.
Ing at the speakers desk
For score OF years OF more it has
pecn the house custom to allow pairs a
any time without question. The almost
forgotten rule OF the house on the sub
1ect requires that two members, dcsir-
ing to be paired. must announce snch
intention at the speakers desk Rep
resentative Garner. in order TO counter
act the move of Mr.. Dwight. gave in
structions TO the Democratic pair clerk
that no pairs were to bo allowed ut the
desk except in strict accordance witn
the rule on the subject
Under the order attributed to Mr
Dwight. he would be able to control the
voting abscntccs OF those desiring to be
paired, which, 1t was pointed out would
not work to the advantage OF the house
insurgents since tho Republican whip
is working in harmony with the regu-
lars.
The move of the Democrats.if sue
cessful. may result in greatly limiting
