AMERICANS NEEDED IN CHINA
DR.. Gilbert Reid Says Empire VIII
Welcome Fair Dealing Persons.

The Rev DR.. Gilbert Reid, who Is di-
rector OF the International Institute or
China. spoke in two Of the churches in this
city Yesterday In the morning he spoke
at the West Presbyterian Church and in
the evening at the University Place
Church. both times with reference TO the
present situation, needs, changes and OPP
portunities in China.
In his address at the West Presbyterian
Church DR.. Reid said:
IF there is need for one hundred more
missionaries 10 go TO China. there is still
greater need for one thousand persons who
will represent the spirit OF Christianity in
works OF justice. unselfishness, helpfulness
and generosity. There is no prejudice on
the part OF the Chinese against an upright
character or fair dealing. either on the part
OF any individual or of a nation.
1T would be better for the peace OF the
world II all nations would adopt the policy
put forward by the American government,
that OF guaranteeing China's autonomy,
rather than one OF outside conquest or ter
ritorial aggrandzement. All that is neces-
sary is for Christian nations 70 adhere TO
the principle of Christianity We should
allow China to work ont her own saliva
ton. but in doing so we should be ready
to help her in so far as help is desired

CHARACTER OF WOMEN VOTERS

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Ex Governor AVA Adams o. Co'oia"o
has written a forcible article for Inc
Pueblo Star-Journal' on equal sunras''
He saws the anonymous statements tha'
the bad women vote more generaiy Una"
the good ones are absurd He ADDS
Bad women exert little polltical ihhu-
ence. For instance. In, Pueblo there are
not more than one hundred Magdalenes'
there are seven thousand good women
These good women vote as large per
centage OF their registration as do the men
Go TO the homes where the mother nurses
and cares for her own children ana ooec
her own household work. To her the Dbl
lot Is an aid TO her business Of child culture,
which is the first and greatest business OF
the world. II gives her direct voice IN
the management OF schools. puollc Tnora's
and government.
Some men who object to women get''hs
into the dirty pool Of politics are al near
afraid they may clean UP the pool ana put
them out OF business. Often the octs 'hat
excite adverse criticism are the best reason
why women should vote"

marmots and the ground squirrels that
the virus turks. The protection of a
port from invasion by the pestilence Is
TO be effected by preventing rats on
shipboard from getting ashore. Inland,
other creatures are subjects Of suspicion.
The pneumonia type of plague, which
is much worse than the bubonic form,
seems to he propagated chiefly by mar
mots and their parasites. The possibil-
ity OF the infection extending to rabbits
and even to dogs and cats must be con-
sdered. But no matter how many such
animals may prove TO be its purveyors,
they can he dealt with much more ef-

MORE THAN 4 TREATY RIGHT"


What is apparently meant TO be n
scathinc condemnation of the "doiiar
dil.lomacy" of the administration. III the
current issue of La Follette's Weekly,
becins with the amazing declaration
thar "the United States has given up It's
treaty right to exclude japanese labor
"ers." The reference is. OF course. 10
the new treaty with Japan, which mas
been ratified by the Senate and which
contains no supulations concerning the
regulation Of immigration.
The indictment is incomplete. 1t should
also have charged the administration
with having failed TO assert the treaty
right Of the United States 10 be an inde-
pendent nation and with having neg
lected 10 secure a treaty right TO the
maintenance of the gold standard, for
these things depend upon treaty stipula-
tionS lust as much as-Or no less thai
the right TO regulate control or prohibit
immigration.
The fact is that the United States did
not give up any right or power what
ever in the new treaty. so far rs immi-
grafton is concerned. Its rights and
powers in that respect do not rest and
never have rested upon treaties. They
are constitutional. fundamental, ele-
mental. and are quite independent of the
assent Of any other nation. All the
treaty provisions in the world could not
strengthen them. nor could any omis-
sions from treaties weaken them.
I'll is says Mr.. Justice Gray, IAN ac-
"ceptcd maxim of international law that
every sovereign nation has the power,
"as inherent in sovereignty and essen

eases and upon such conditions rs II
may see fit TO prescribe" The United
States has enjoyed that power. unre-
striored and inalienable. ever since July
& 177G. when it declared that these

that they had full power TO do all acts
and things which independent states

THE RAT PLAGUE.

for example. there were 1,j11 deaths
from it in Egypt. and in 1909 there

much heSitancy and reluctance for lead

quality. and he says that audacity is

Distillate Engine
Run Successfully

Buster Brown has invented dis
tillate engine, which is on exhibition In
the Alamo space at the Land show, OF a
type never before successfully operated.
Crude oil sold at refineries for cent
gallon Is used for fuel. Machinists
who have inspected the new engine be-
lieve 1t will revolutionize modern power
producing methods. Prior to Mr.. Browns
advent inventors and manufacturers had
given up before the problem of utilizing
this by-product OF the refineries for fue
because in all other machines heavy de-
posIts of carbon in the cylinder made the
machine practically useless at times. This
thirty-horse power Alamo has been run
for weeks and has never deposited carbon
to blacken a piece of white paper when
the spark plugs were removed. 1t was
run for sixty hours without a stop and
was in as good condition at the end OF
that time and running as smooth as al
the beginning of the test. A force-feed
oller, guaranteed to force oil into the
cylinder against a pressure of 200 pounds,
lubricates each ring of the cylinder at
every stroke.
