The latest revolt in China is evidently
viewed with great apprehension by the
authorities in that country and by the
representatives of foreign powers on the
ground. This uprising in Hupeh and SEE

cessors inasmuch as thus far no animos-
ity has been manifested toward foreign
ers. the war cry of the insurgents is
Down with the Manchus." 1t is a revolt
Of race against race, the true Chinese
rising against their Manchu rulers, who
have never been welcome and who have
always regarded the Chinese with scorn.
The rebellion appears to center at
Hankow, at the confluence Of the Yangtze
and the Han rivers. There also are
situated the large cities of Wuchang
and Hanyang, the three together, sepa-
rated by the river branches, making one
Of the most populous centers in interior

the insurgents. 1t has also developed at
Changsha. in the adjacent province of
Human, which is mountainous and diff
cult of access. 1t was in Human that a
recent uprising menaced the lives of mis-
sionaries and foreign residents. A revolt
of troops in the disaffected provinces
gives the affair more serious aspect
than has been borne by any outbreak
since the Boxer rebellion of 1900. Never
theless. IL is believed that enough troops
Of assured loyalty remain to enable the
government to put down this instruction.
An interesting note is struck in the
varcry Of the Hankow rebels. who are
clamoring for a republic. The sugges-
ton seems too absurd for serious thought
A republic In China is practically un-
thinkable in the present state of the

may last several years.
There is probably nothing in the Nc
Namara case, no question of fact, no Is

by both prosecution and defense to reach
the truth and nothing but the truth. In

Of the side engaging him. Sometimes
weeks are spent with these professional

questions and overwhelming the men in

scientific deductions and speculaions.
Year by year this extension Of the
criminal trials in the United States con-
tinues, until court calendars are congested
and the Jails are filled with persons under
accusation awaiting the determination Of
guilt or innocence. In this District today
there are no less than fifteen men and
women In custody awaiting trial for muir
ders. some of them having been committed
nearly a year ago. IN all other degrees
Of criminal accusation people are waiting
to be tried. In other cities the same con-
ditfon prevails. There are judges enough
and prosecuting officers enough and jury
men enough to put these cases through
with reasonable rapidity. and without
prejudicing the interests of either the
state or the accused, and the presence Of
hundreds of untried people in the jails

from the gross waste of time I'm the So

California Votes for Suffrage.

Woman suffrage wins in California,
after all. The support given to ! the
amendment In the country districts and
the smaller towns overcame the opposi-
ton OF San Francisco. and the present
prospect Is a victory for the women by
q majority of perhaps 1900 or more. This
Is notable advance for the cause Of
equal suffrage, which has been growing
steadily In this country OF late years. At
the present time women possess suffrage
upon equal terms with men in six states
in Wyoming established In 1862 in Colo
RADIO in 1898, in Utah in 1896, IN Idaho in
1896. in Washington in 1910 and in Cali
fornia In the present year. In Kansas
they possess school suffrage, established
IN 1861. municipal suffrage established in
1887 and bond suffrage in 1903. Full suf-
frage was rejected by the legislature in
1909. School suffrage prevails in some
form In twenty-nine states. Montana has
granted to tax-paying women the right to
vote on questions submitted to taxpayers;
in Iowa they have bond suffrage; in Min
nesota they have the right to vote for
vote in person or by proxy on all ques-
tons of taxation: in Michigan woman
taxpayers can vote on tax questions; in
New York tax-paying women have the
right to vote on all propositions to raise
money by tax or assessment.
There is mistaking the tendency to-
ward the extension of the suffrage to
women in the United States. While suf-
frase amendments are from time to time
defeated, such as in Oregon, Oklahoma
and South Dakota last year. the MAORI
ties cast against the constitutional
amendments submitted to the people grow
smaller steadily, and legislative votes,
when secured. are in the negative by mar
rowing margins The campaign conduct
cd by the American women has been dig
nified and educational rather than mill
tant and compulsory. They have found
perhaps a more sympathetic court before
which 10 make their appeal than have
their British sisters, whose maneuvers
have at times aroused considerable feel
ing of distaste in this country. The Brit
ish suffrag.sts, however, have modified
their program, and having secured from
the prime minister a pledge to submit a
government bill at the next SESSION of
parliament they are now peacefully
aw aiting results, and are meantime con-
Quoting vigorous canvass, in which
some Of the most influential English
statesmen are engaged.

Prison for Rich Malefactors.
.e Philadelphia Inquirer


There Is no doubt that the four months
Imprisonment inflicted on a New York
importer for smuggling will have a much
greater moral effect than the fine Of $120,
GOO that was also imposed. In most cases
of like nature the fine itself represents
only q small portion Of the money actu-
ally swindled from the government, and
the man who is taken in dishonesty rea-
sons out that he can well afford to return
a portion of his ill-gotten gains. Even
after the payment of q fine he usually
stands a winner. The practice of merely
filming INSCRIPTIONS importers has un-
dOubtedly encouraged smuggling. The
only chance they took was In losing a
portion of their ill-gotten gains IL caught
The probability of a prison sentence is
however, an entirely different matter, and
a man will think hard and long before
taking a chance on that. There is every
reason to believe that the importer whit
was recently sentenced to four months
confinement would gladly have paid twice
the amount of his fine In order to escape
the disgrace of a prison CELL

Pushing Northward.

A new era of exploration seems to have
opened up, and the results impress one
with the idea that this Is indeed a new
continent. A mountain higher than Mount
Mckinley has been found in Canada
north of the arctic circle. and a lake
larger than Superior has been credibly
reported as having been discovered
The conquest of the north goes on.
Civilization has pressed far to the north

men. Not long ago the upper part OF
North Dakota, northern Montana and the
panhandle Of Idaho sounded to the aver
age ear as the northernrnost limit Of

When the Northern Pacific was built
through that country 1t was looked on as
an arctic undertaking. When the Cana
dian Pacific was run through southern
Manitoba, Assiniboia and Alberta, with
branches extending upward to Prince AL
bert in Saskatchewan and to Edmonton
in Alberta, it was thought the limit had
been reached. Since then a road north of
the Canadian. Pacific has been put under
construction and one still further north
may soon be completed. This is the Hud-
son bay line, which will start from the
Saskatchewan river west of Lake Winnie
peg and will strike Hudson bay either at
Fort Churchill or Port Nelson. above IS
degrees north. This line is to provide an
outlet for the great grain fields Of that
region. The pillow and the reaper have
travelled north until burrows are turned
in Athabasca, 700 miles north Of Helena,
Mont, and vegetables are grown in
Alaska.
Alaska at the time of it's purchase from
Russia in 1867 for something over $1,000
coo was deristvely called Stewards ice
box and was popularity believed to be
a. region Of everlasting winter. 1t has
proved a bonanza in the matter of fish
cries and a treasure house of gold, coal
and copper. There are agricultural ex-
pertinent stations at Fairbanks, on the
Tanana, and at Rampant, on the Yukon,
within seventy-five miles Of the arctic
circle. All the hardy vegetables are
grown there and also grasses, wheat, oats
and barley. In some localities vegetables
are grown north Of the arctic circle. close
UP to the shores of the Arctic ocean. The
prophecy is made that the Tanana and
the upper Yukon valleys will become
farming countries. The Cook inlet. Susit-
ma river and Kuskokwim river regions
are expected to become agricultural dis
tricts. Stock raising is progressing on
the Alaskan peninsula and islands, and
there Is a government experiment station
at Kodiak.
