The Mississippi Valley.

Quincy Magazine: Right here at our
very doors, the people of this favored
portion OF the rich Mississippi Valley,
have the building of one of the great
est engineering structures since when
the pyramids rose. The river is being
harnessed at Keokuk by the Mississip-
pi River Power Company in way
that will convert energy that has been
wasted for centuries into power for
the industrial good of an inland EN-.
pire, the natural resources of which
are unequailed elsewhere on the earth
1t is not appreciated as it should be
bu. it will be in time. The mighty riv
er itself has been neglected and the
people along its shores have lily ap
preciated its advantages. The building
of the great dam shows how scientific
engineering may some day accomplish
the now dreamed of deep waterway
from the lakes to the Gulf and on the
Upper Mississippi, Ocean-going barges
some day will load and unload freigh
at Quincy With the completion of tht
Panama canal freight by water to the
Orient will be cheaper than similar
freightage from New York. The manu-
facturers of the Mississippi valley vii
go by water to all the great ports 0
the world. The energy developed b.
the great dam at Keokuk will MAKE
this a locality peculiarly adapted t.
manufacturing enterprises, and thu
Improvement of the waterways will
add the benefits of cheap transporta
ton. Let us appreciate what we hav'
in hand, use it to the utmost advan
tage and build in this portion of TIL
Mississippi valley one Of the creates
manufacturing districts in the world.

INCENSE.

INCENSE.
Think not that incense smoke has had
its day.
My friends, the incense time has but
begun.
Greed upon creed, cult upon cult,
shall bloom,
Shrine after shrine grow gray beneath
the sun.
And mountain boulders in our aged
west
Shall guard the graves OF hermits
truth endowed;
And there the scholar from the Chin
ese hills
Shall do deep honor, with his wise
head bowed.
And on our old, old plains some mud
dy stream.
Dark as the Gauges. shall, like tina,
strange tide
Whispering mystery to half the
earth
Gather the praying millions to its
side
And flow past halls with statues il
white stone
To saints unborn today, whose lives
of grace
Shall make one shining. universal
church
Where all faiths kneel, as brothers
in one place.

Outlook.

THE YELLOW MAN

The visit to New York of the first
Chinese man of war that has ever ap-
peared in an American port has called
attention once more to the rapid adj
vance that is being made in the ways
Of modern civilization by the natives
of the Celestial empire OF the mag
nitude of the movement forward that
is going on in China few Americans
have any idea, and the average
American, If told that the Chinese
We're the intellectual equals and in
some cases the superiors of ourselves,
would be as much shocked as sur
prised.
There is timely article on this
subject in the current Independent,
by Prof. e. A. Ross of the University
OF Wisconsin who has recently trav-
eled extensively in China making a
special study Of "the race mind OF
the Chinese" In all seriousness he
tells us that.
st begins to appear that the future
bearers and advancers OF civilization
will not be the whites alone, but the
white and yellow races, and the con
troll of the globe will lie In tht
hands of the two races instead OF the
one
This expression might be less start

similar statements made by othel
writer's who have studied conditions
in China at first hand Most homes

that when China gets ready she VII

in commerce and in modern progress
AS Professor Ross writes:

Practically the same thing he
