THE JOHN ALDEN WAY IN CHINA.
Chinese Student Lovers Like Having
 MiddIeman Propose for Them.

Dr. Isaac T. Headland. resident of Pekin for many years. where he en- joyed the friendship of the late dow ager empress. throws a new light on the new women of China. Taking mp the relations between the sexes. and especially the Chinese method of get ting wife, he repeats conversation with a young Chinaman who had re- gently become engaged to Chinese maiden with whom he had never spoken.
 We students have a great advanta- age over the old Chinese method of finding d wife and getting engaged" said my Celestial friend
 What do you mean?" inquired.
 Well. you see. .bv the old Chinese method man can never see his wife until she is brought to his home, unless he can bribe the middleman to allow him to stand on the street corner and see her pass by in d cart"
 And what advantage do you have?"
 We see the girls in church.. he an swered. They also can see us We have sisters in the girls school, they have brothers in the college, and when we go home during vacation we can learn all about each other"
 This is an advantage"
 Tn my judgment" he continued, we have q better method than cen you foreigners have"
 How is that
 Well. you see" he continued. after we have selected the lady we want. we can have middleman go and ask her for us, while you have to go and ask the lady yourself.'
 But" l objected. we can get so much better acquainted by our method"
 Yes. that's true" he admitted. but doesn't it make you awfully angry if you ask d girl tn marry you and she refuses?'
 It was necessary to admit that there were advantages in the middleman method which had never occurred to me, and while l was not ready to ac- knowledge that his new found method was better than mine. I could still see that the force which brought it aboilt was bringing woman out of her seclu- sion and placing her on a level with her brother and her future husband Travel Magazine.

FRENCH HATS.

This seasons French hats have bor- rowed freely from every material eX- cept furs. Even felt has not been eliminated and the artists plans seem a combination of summer and winter. Colors are freely used and would be almost startling if not for the perfect blending The hat may be large or small. but it will present odd features that one must learn to like, as they seldom appeal to the taste upon first sight.

A CURE FOR TROUBLE.
It will never pay to frown

It will never pay to frown
 When you're blue: Fortune still may have crown Made for you: Don't expect to win mems pity or to gain the strength you need By appearing heavy y-hearted-you are far astray indeed. If you do.
 When your woes are hard to bear Do not nope.
 Do not seek d cellar where
 You may grope. Take a walk out in the sunlight. shun the corners that are murk; Breathe the sweet air of the hillside. then go whistling back to work, And -to-hope.

Hughes and the New York Machines.
 In his demand of the New York
 legislature that there shall be com
 plete investigation of legislative crook

 fests the qualities of leadership which
 have lifted him above the heads of all the politicians in his state
 The investigation just closed. which
 forced two republican state senators to resign. was undertaken most re- luctsntly by the party leaders Could Chairman Woodruff and the machine have had their way. there would have been no uncovering of corruption. Senator Conger had made the public statement that Senator Aids. the floor leader of the senate. accepted a bribe some years ago. Aids denied the charge. and it would have suited the machine to let the matter rest there. But the governor and the newspapers insisted that there must be formal inquiry into the charge by a committee of the senate. It developed in the hearing that Aids had accepted a bribe. and that the money was transmitted to him by Conger. on behalf of Conger's brother. d bridge builder, who wished to pre- vent legislation relating to bridges. Aids was forced to resign by public rendered it's report. After the close of the investigation public opinion likewise demanded that Senator Con- ger be driven from office. and he also was forced to resign
 In the course of the hearing there were disclosures of other legislative involving politicians of both parties. and it is the threads of these disclosures which Governor Hughes has said in d special message must be followed vp.
 Politicians of the old school seem tp De WILDLY undDit tO ItdlZt tNdt they are not living in the good old days" when graft in officeholding was q matter of course They are unable to comprehend the fact that men of a new school in politics-the Roose- velts. the Tafts. the Hugheses. the Bryans. the Folks and the Hadleys- have set d standard of public conduct to which an aroused public conscience requires all officeholders to measure.
 Incidentally. it appears that Gov srnor Hughes has created an unwel- come situation for himself. It is diff 1 ficuIt to see how he can persist iu 1 his refusal to take the office of gov srnor for another term.

Letters to Aunt Laurie From Nephepvs and Nieces
ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITIES
Boys and Girls Should Interest Them
selves in the Protection of
Government Laws
(First Prize)
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Although [ hardly believe that
American boys and girls of the present
time can do as much good for their
country as Washington did, each one
will have chance to preserve and
improve what he gave us. AS we
boys and girls will soon become men
and women, we should have good
training now in order to become fit
citizens to govern such a great nation
as ours.
Our duty to our country is to work
towards civic righteousness. "The
powers of the government are but a
trust and they cannot be lawfully ex-
ercised but for the good of the COM
munity." In making the laws, make
them so that they will be just to the
people at large, and not only small
portion.
In the selection of men to fill gov
ernment positions we should be just as
careful, and more, than if choosing
them to control our private affairs. In
order to express our opinion in the
right way, we should take an interest
in all national affairs Then we
should vote as we think best, and not
be Influenced by petty political bosses.
To build a good government will be
our greatest achievement.
"A StIIhiIS cAdIilplt VI LnlS may De
seen right here in Los Angeles As
we have been the first city of this
size to accomplish it, we have held the
attention and interest of all the others.
Let us hope that it will also be
achieved in the government.
Webster has patriotically said: "I4et
our object be our country, our whole
country, and nothing but our country
And, by the blessing of God, may
that country itself become a vast and
splendid monument, not of oppres-
sion and terror, but of wisdom, of
peace and of liberty. upon which the
world may gaze with admiration for
ever"
If each one would do their duty
towards the government in this way
we would have reputation and char
acter to be envied by the proudest
nation. RUSSELL MULLIN,

SHOULD CULTIVATE TRUTH
Good Opportunities Will Present
Themselves If Children Are
Anxious to Learn
(First Prize)

Dear Aunt Laurie;
Any modern American girl or boy
may become as helpful to their country
as was George Washington by doing
his or her duty and making use OF
every opportunity which comes their
way.
The first thing is to make them
selves healthy and strong, for without
good health as foundation their work
cannot be carried on to good adYan-
tage
In the second place, they should cul-
tivate truthfulness, generosity and
gentleness, which are all most nee
essary to form good character.
Thirdly, they should acquire an edu-
cation, as complete as possible. If, for
any reason this cannot be done in the
usual manner of day school, a short
time can be spent each evening, taking
care that in no way the health is i'm
paired. A reasonably bright person, If
anxious to learn, will find many op-
to add valuable information to his in
creasing store of knowledge. After
some time has been spent along gen.
eral lines they should find something
to specialize on, as their life WORK,
something suited to both their tastes
and their abilities. All energies should
then be bent in that direction, the
mastery or the CHOSEN prOleSSlOIls pc
1t dish washing, ditch-digging: any
thing through the various grades UP
to the most honored position which our
land offers. When they have learned
how to do the work they should do 1t,
and do IL we'll.
Our usefulness to our country does
not depend so much on whether our po-
sition be high or low as it does on the
manner in which We fill it.

HELP TO OTHER MEN
WINS A GOOD POSITION
(HonorabIe Mention)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
My ideas of the way an American
boy can become as helpful to his coun-
try as George Washington are by not
trying to aspire great positions by
yourself and keep others down. but
While you are rising give helping
hand to a comrade, and thus you may
help some one to such position that
he may be credit to his country.
You may help genius to rise and at
the same time rise yourself And if
there is a person better qualified than
yourself resign and let him take the
office, and in this way you would be
doing your country a service, for the
man might be another Lincoln.
But I am getting off the subject.
You said, what could boy do?" and
l was telling what a man could do.
But boy could be the same; he could
always be willing to help some one
better than himself or be helpful to
one inferior. and in both cases it will
prove the best way.

and consequently helpful to our coan-
try.
There are very few lazy and shift
less persons who rise to high ranks.
1t is only those who work hard and
earnestly who achieve anything. George
Washington worked very hard before
he was famous; and he had very few
chances compared with those of The
girls and boys of today.
There are many existing wrongs at
the present time which might be swept
out by the modern boys and girls when
they will have become men and Wo-
men. In many states the schools
might be bettered; there are no child
labor laws in many states, where there
Los Angeles herald., 1910-02-20
POSITIONS ARE EARNED

Dear Aunt Laurie:
I think we all know that in many
ways George Washington was very
helpful to his country. Perhaps none
of us Juniors will ever be SO fortunate
as to be president of our country, but
probably all of us have long lives be-
fore us, and who can tell what won
derful things some of us may do in
the future?
Before we could ever hope to be
helpful to our country, however, we
should first be helpful in our homes,
and improve our time at school, get
ting as much out of our studies as
possible In the line of education,
modern American boys and girls have
fmuch better opportunities than WASH
ington ever had.
: Then as we grow older, and each
one follows his favorite occupation,
much good may be done IL each one
will put himself into his work. and dc
everything the best that he can. Some
of us will be teachers; some lawyers
and business men or women, and 9TH
ers scholars; but whatever we do, II
we do it the very best that we can,
we are sure to be helpful to someone,
Los Angeles herald., 1910-02-20

should be; there are numerous trusts
that rob our country's poor. America
has much room for improvement, even
though it is ahead of other nations.
| long to see time when there s1all
be no more graft, and no more injustice
in our country, which so many people
are trying to better, and which George
Washington tried to better.
But the only way for girls and boys
to achieve anything when older, is to
take advantage of every opportunity
we have while young.

ESTABLISH EQUAL LAWS

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One way in which boys and girls of

country is to do what is right; to be-
ware of temptation and evil spirits
among themselves and others among
the same nation.
To grow up to be good, noble citizens

ment of the republic. II you grow to be
elected to congress or to the legislature.

NEW SCHEDULE BEGINS
After Sunday All Freight Trains win
Leave Fourth Street.

All freight trains and two passenger
trains now operating each way daily
over Fourth street will be taken of
next Sunday and be operated over the
Beaverton- Willsburg cutoff. The
Fourth street line will continue to
handle three passenger trains each
way daily, one being the Corvallis pas
senger and the others being two local
Forest Grove trains
The midday Forest Grove train, be-
ginning Sunday, will arrive at and
depart from the Jefferson street sta
ton, using the cutoff, departing at
r. NJ and arriving at 1850 A. NJ
The Sheridan passenger train will be
operated. over the cutoff and across
the newly completed bridge, arriving
at and departing from the Union de-
pot at 1890 A. M. and p. M. re-
spectively. The change will give Os-
wego an additional interurban train.
The new arrangement in general ef-
feet is a reduction of one-half in the
steam railroad traffic on Fourth street,
and has been made possible by the
completion of the Oswego bridge and
cutoff, which enables all West Side df-
vision trains to reach the Jefferson
street station or cross the Willamette
River at Oswego and come into the
Union Station by way of the main East
Side line of the Southern Pacific. The
change removes all midday trains
from the business center of the city,
as none will run over the street after
Sunday between the hours of $3.50 A.
M. and 6:2O P. M.-Oregonian.
