THE FAMINE IN CHINA.

The dispatches indicate that a cruel
| famine is prevailing in northern China
and that mon, women, aud children by
the tens of thousands arc suffering NOR
tai hunger. II is not in China as III
India, where the world hears in loud
and repeated tones all about the fam.
ines that prevail a famine may be
very long and very severe in China,
and the world hear little about il. But
famine in India is trumpctcd to the
ends of the earth, and all civilization
knows about the narrowing details.
China is the great ant bill of human
ity. Population there swarms in bun.
drcds of millions and even When, As
sometimes happens. a million people are
drowned BY tho shifting of the bed
of the Hoang no river, the world hears
little of it, and even that not till n
long time after.
When famine occurred in iunc.
China q number OF years ago. American
relief was hurried there as rapidly as
possible. And it is probable that relief
will be hurried TO China now from
America, and from otner Christian
lands; because the world has become
tcuder to appeals of this kind, and re
spends promptly and generously; so
that doubtless relief will bc forwarded
in such measure as will preserve tho
lives Of the suffering people.
IL is one Of the great triumphs of
modern civilization that distress of TIM.
kind can be met with a promptitudc
and plenitudc never before known i'm
the history Of the world. The world s
production of food stuffs is now so
massed as to be available largely at dc
mand; and the transportation facilities
are such that most parts Of the earth
can be reached as never before. And
so, while China is in distress. relief is
no doubt preparing, and will soon bc

WHERE THE GAINS WERE.

The Census Office has prepared a
diagram showing where the growth Of
the country was during The decennial
period that has just closed; where that
growth failed; and the different gradu.

this, II appears that the old Northwest

done fairly well in percentage OF

coast States.
Nine States show a growth of loss

Maine. Vermont. New HAMPSHIRE
Maryland. Indiana. Kentucky. Ten.

population, and none shows much an.
proach towards the 10 per cent mark,
except Maryland and Tennessee. Mary.

In the class showing growth from 10
to 20 per cent appear fourteen States
Virginia, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Georgia, ALBANIA, Mississippi.
Louisiana, Ohio, Michigan. Illinois Wis
consin. Minnesota, Nebraska, and Kan.
sas. This is the largest division of all.
and 1T shows that the States named
have not only failed proportionately in
increase. as compared with the country
at large. but even more decidedly AS
compared with the more progressive
States.

DR.. COOKS CONFESSION >,

The pitiful relation given by Dr.
Cook IN the current Hampton S Maga-
zine is ono of the most distressing ey.
posureS of semi conscious fakerv that
we have ever seen. ''Did | get 10 tbe
north pole?' says DR. Cook, ~ con.
fess thnt | do not know absolutely -
And yet be announced to the world
absolutely and unqualitiedlv, that Ire
had reached the north pole. He now
saws that he did not know. when he
said be knew. that he is in doubt about
IT; that his hunger. WEAKNESS, and dis.
tress were so cxhausting upon him that
he was but half conscious; and his mar.
rativc leads TO the plain inference that
ne wandered about very much at ran.
DOM without having definite idea of
where he was going when he started
his day 8 journey, or at night with any
well-defined idea Of the route or dis
tancc he had Travelled. II looks. in
Tact, very much AS though the account
given by Peary, as from the two Eski-
mos who were with DR.. Cook. that he
""N """"''eu apout Wltnout making
much distance toward the pole. was
correct.
DIR. Cook confcsses that he did not
make observations that were in any
way conclusive. He almost coufesses.
as the fact appears TO be, that he was
neither possessed of the proper instru.
ments for making observations, nor of
the training or skill TO make use of
them. He appears to have relied chief
ly upon the measurements Of the shad
ows Of himself and of his compapi6ps
to prove his case of getting to the pole
He illustrates those measurements with
diagrams, claiming that the measure.
ment Of their shadows after the sun
appeared was always the same when he
arrived at what he supposed was the
aorth pole. He claims that for the
twenty-four hours tho sun s path was
at an equal elevation above the sur.
face of the earth, and that at all hours
Of the day the shadow was of equal
length. Theoretically, this would be
the case. But where dependence is
placed upon that alone. where there is
no proof of cxactuess, and where the
narrative plainly shows that DR.. Cook
did not know where he wns going, and
was not able to verify his route by any
record that would be proof TO scien.
tifc man, surely such measurements
arc valuclcss. And AS he. in fact, con
fesses that he had no proof adequate
to offer TO anybody that he had been
TO the pole. his narrative is most pit.
liable one; in short, he now confcsses
the fraudulent character of his original
claim.
And yet, he pleads for the world s

WHERE THE REPORT STARTED.

Wc have no desire TO prolonG the
discussion of the designs on the battle
ship "Utah 81 silver service. But in
order to show that the agitation began
in New York and was based upon rep.
rcscutations made there we reproduce
the following from the December lltb
issue of the New York Times, paper
not given to scnsationaiism. nor likely
to report thing that did not happen.

| ,ion 10 the portrait OF Brigham Young,
| Utah's iirst governor, which adorns III.

| forks. The exception was not based on
| the Mormon lenders multi marriages but
upon his attitude toward federal officials
while lac was the territory's executive.
\ young woman who Is a member Of
tho club spoke briefly Of her girlhood III

! Brigham Young had driven federal olii
cials from the territory and had kept
others thore In constant fear for their

committee be named to draw up protests
against tho portrait OF Brigham Young on
the bdttleship silver service. The club
agreed. and committee was named by
Mrs William Cummings STOREY. the pres
ident. TO write 10 President TAFT.
When questioned aftcrward the young

A FEW MORE "sPoRADICs. "

From down in Mexico we have re.
have been privileged TO take unto
themselves polygamous wives since the
manifesto of 1890. We shall be brief
in the matter, however; because. while
we do not desire to have any feeling
of jealousy creep in on account of omis.
sions, the men whom we describe are
really worthy of very little attention.
Elder John McLaws WAS once resi-
dent of Woodruff, Arizona, having gore
there as one of the colonistS sent out
by the Mormon church, There he met
two sisters named Bradshaw He took
one of them to Juarez. Mexico. and
married her, by ihe kind Offices of the
bishop. Then he returned To Woodruff
and took Emma as second wife. mar
ryiug her in 1907 under the Terri
toriai law He is now living with both
of these women at Juaroz.
Elder Francis Bunker also lived at
Woodruff, Arizona, once upon a time,
but be moved to Colonia Dublan. Mex
lcO. LOT tue reason IndI NO UeS1rpu 10
marry in polygamy. He did so by tax
ing AS his second wife Miss Evelyn
Cox, in the year 1905.
Elder Alex. Johnson lives at Duban,
Mexico; but he came over into the st
George, Utah country, in the year 1904,
and captured one of the fair damscIs
of that vicinity, carried her off to
Mexico and there married hcr as IL see
ond wife. The rame of the Young WON.
an our informant is at present unable
to give us, but she promises to send it
along later.
Elder Fred. Gardener was another
Woodruff Melchiscdek who went TO
Mexico TO "Iivc his religion" He did
that i'll the year 1905 by polygamolsiy
marrying sister Of Evelyn Cox, whom
Elder Francis Bunker married. The
parties now live at Morcl1s. Mexico.
We respectfully present these names
of "Sporadic SkuIIduggers to Apos.
tlc Francis M. Lyman, with the idea
that if he is sincere in b,s expressed
depunciation of such, he may move To
their deserved accommodation.

mercy as 10 his manly intent. He
wants to be taken as measuring up 10
the full standard Of the manly man
who did his best, who had no intent
to deceive, and who in making his rep
reservations made them in entire good
faith. But not quite so much can be
conceded. He should not have been
not have been so cocksnrc that he had
been TO the north pole, nor so vehc
mcnt in his assertions that hc could
prove his journey by his notebooks and
record. He now admits, virtually, that
he has no such proofs as he claimed
TO have. and that is where hc falls
short of the measure of a man.
DR.. Cook was sadly out of luck. In
his claims hc did not reckon upon
Pcary's success. IT Pcary had failed,
there would have been n better chance
for Cook s claim TO have been received
in good faith. Pcary's record of prep.
aratioD, Of travel. of observations, and
of success, showed 80 couclusivcly that
an expedition like DR.. Cook s, not thor.
oughly equipped and organized for the
conquest of the pole, had no chance
whatever to make that conquest. AS
detailed in Pcary IS narrative, the con.
ditlous show that Cook 5 claim was
absolutely hopeless, IT would probably
have been hopeless in any event, but
the Pcary narrative absolutely killed
il III nnce and forever.
