The "Yello.U Devil" Waking Up

Here's something to make Uncle Sam sit up and
scratch his head!
The manufacture of steel and iron by the most improved
modern processes has been begun in China in earnest
Indeed last year. between $4,000 and 10000 of basic
pig iron, made in China sold in New York City, at
good profit
Again. it has been announced good authority that
the Western Iron Corporation of Seattle has contracted
with Chinese manufacturers for pig ron the quantity
running from $4,000 tons the first year to 100000 in
the 10 years covered by the agreement and also has
contract to take 100000 tons per year of Chinese for
Its blast furnaces.
Evidently, eastern steel manufacturers have got to
compete on the Pacific coast with cheap Chinese labor
and low freight rates They cannot put Chinese Hindu
labor into their mills and is extremely doubtful whether
matter how much the transcontnenta railroads could
afford to loosen up they get rates anywhere the
ocean rates.
A manufacturer who has labor and freight rates against
him in given territory almost invariably has to surrender
that territory.
What's the answer, Uncle Sam?
And it be possible that all the fuss about tthe open
door, in China that the American steel trust is
fathering this infant industry in China? Well do know
what the Standard Oil trust would do were there any
thing, anywhere earth, that threatened it's cinch

An old man sat on folding camp
chair at the edge of the sidewalk,
his back against a telephone pole.
On his breast was a sign which read
Help the Blind" his eyes were
wide open, sightless, staring
straight ahead. On his lap was a
small hand organ which ground out
a monotonous melody as the old
man mechanically turned the ham
die round and round.
On another stool beside the old
man sat little maid, yellow haired,
pink checked, blue eyed and with
the light of mischief beaming from
her eyes. She was there to look
after the old man and she was more
than willing to perform her task.
But the little body was vibrant
with life, and it was hard work to
sit there on the camp stool SO
steadily. Finally she could stand it
no longer and slipping from the
stool she strayed over to a bril-
liantly lighted display window and
gazed eagerly at the beautiful
things displayed there.
The organ stopped its wailing and
the old mans hand went cropping
toward the empty camp stool. Look
ing around quickly when the organ
stopped the tiny maid saw the CROP
ing hand and sped back to cuddle
up once more beside the old man.
Then the organ took up its work
again.
The hour grew late, and the small
grille grew tired and sleepy. The

but it had been a bad day and soon
the gay theater crowds would be
vending their way homeward. Per-
haps business" would be better
then.
A chill breeze sprang up, and the
diminutive maid curled her tiny
legs up beneath her to protect them
frem the night blast. Then the
pretty head began to nod. Bravely
she fought against going to sleep,
but the sand man" was too strong
for her, and she dropped her head
over against the old mans shoulder
and slept.
The organ kept up its weary
grind.
Soon slumber, too, assailed the
old man. Slower and still more
slowly the organ handle turned. At
last it stopped entirely. The old
mans head dropped forward upon
his breast.
The little maid stirred in her
sleep. and the old man awoke with
start. The organ took up its
monotonous wall. But again 1t
stopped. The old man settled his
head against the telephone pole.
And so they slept. The child with
her head pillowed on the old mans
shoulders, the old man staring
straight ahead with wide open.
sightless eyes.
