CONTRABAND OF PEACE.

Opium a contraband" is the un-
precedented agreement which an in
ternational conference now assem-
bled at The Hague seeks.
Frequent international conferences
have sought to define what should be
contraband in time of war. Hals a
century ago the nations destroyed an
institution that was enslaving the
bodies of men. Now they are taking
counsel together, seeking to destroy
a drug which fastens itself upon men.
blighting their intellects and wreck
ing their bodies.
Less than four score years ago Eng
land took up the sword to force upium
upon people and protect those who
trafficked in it. This conference has
a vision of the brotherhood of all
peoples. Our peace tribunals approach
nearer the parliment of man.

\ Fitting Resolution.

A New Year Resolution, made by
the citizens of Columbia, to adopt
system of street-cleaning, would be
one of the most helpful and beneficial
acts toward the bettering and uplift-
ing of sanitary conditions in Colum-
bia, that could be adopted. 1t would
mean a more healthy and attractive
city. a still more desirable place in
which to live. If there is anything
that speaks more highly for an other
wise attractive city than clean, well
kept streets, it is not to be conceived
of. Cleanliness is next to Godli-
ness should be applied to cities as
well as individuals, and the best
place to apply that principle is to Co
lumbia'S streets.
How often expressions like these
are heard: Why doesn't Columbia
clean her streets?" Columbia would
be an ideal little city if she would

A SUBSTITUTE JUROR

California has a, provision in its
jury service which Missouri might
we'll investigate. 1t provides for just
such an emergency as arose in the
Hyde trial in Kansas City.
The courts of California may i'm
panel thirteen jurors instead of only
twelve. This extra man acts as a
substitute and is treated as any of the
regular jurors until time for the de-
cision.
The object is to save the state the
expense of beginning the trial again
if one of the jurors is forced to with
draw. Should sickness or other
causes break up the jury in such
cases as the Hyde and Mcnamara
trials, many thousands of dollars
would be saved the taxpayers by this
method.
1t is too late to adapt it to present
circumstances, but Missouri might
show considerable foresight by pro-
viding against occurrences.

A BCSINESS-LIKE BUDGET,

The United States needs a budget
system, according to Secretary Mac.
Veagh. 1t certainly does.
Our financial system, as compared
with those of other countries, is
unique-fOr its Out-Of-dateness. In
no other world power is there such a
haphazard way of estimating revenue
and expenditures.
One of the chief differences is in
responsibility. In most European
countries one man is responsible for
striking a balance between income
and expenditures. We divide the
responsibility among a dozen or more
heads of departments and legislative
committees and then expect accounts
to balance.
Mr.. MacVeagh is right; We need a
little less politics and a little more
business in the business departments
of our government.

WHO GETS THE CREAM?

Who will get the cream from the
Panama Canal? America, of course
say most Americans. But don; De
too sure.
Without an adequate merchant ma
rine American cannot expect 10
handle much of the great volumne Of
commerce which will surge through
the new waterway. Other nations are
building many boats because of the
canal. But that is not the worst OF
it: American capital is building
boats in foreign lands. with foreign
material and foreign labor. and these
boats are to be registered under for
eign flags and equipped with foreign
crews.
Why?
Some say it is the lack of a ship
subsidy. That is not the trouble.
Am erica has a set of antiQuated nav
igation laws that would not permit
the maintenance of a merchant ma
rine, even if there was ship subsidy.
We discriminate against our own YES
sells, against our own capital, against
our own labor. All that is necessary
is to give American ships a chance.
No subsidy will be necessary.
If Congress does not act at once the
United States may get only the skim
med milk. while the other nations en-
JOY the cream from this three-million-
dollar ditch.

"One touch of Nature makes the
whole world kin"-which explains
the hitherto unsolved problems -
why We have so many undesirable re-
latives.
His hand touching here - before
marriage-cauSeS an electric thrill
to pass through the twain; and his
hand touching the bottom of his
purse after marriage - causes a
short circuit and a burned-out fuse.
Every portion of the body and
mind is susceptible to touch.
When touched in the heart, we
rush into matrimony; if touched in
the head" we are rushed to a lunatic
asylum. Touched on the pocket nerve,
We either give up or close up, accord
ingly as We are easy marks" or
'tightwads. When our feelings are
touched We weep; when our cOrns
are touched We swear.
A touch on the arm, by the police
means that We are under duress; Il
touch on the cheek, by Felice--our
better half-means that We are un-
der caress. In both cases We submit
and pay our fines.
Touched on the lips, We look re-
signed-if it is our wife; and happy
if it is some other fellows wife.
The appeal of the fOaming sch oOn-
the touching appeal of the beggar en-
ables the schooner and the thirst to
get in touch with each other.
Curiously do the comic and pa
thetic touches intermingle. There is
the light touch of comedy in woman's
efforts to keep up with the styles;
and a dark touch of pathos in mans
struggle to keep up with the bills of
woman. engaged as aforesaid.
With most of us life is touch and
go, and we have to go pretty fast to
escape a touch of sOrrow.-Smart

BY THE NECK UNTIL DEAD.

There are some states that do not
recognize capital punishment under
any conditions. Of the states that
punish by death quite a few remain
faithful to the old, frontier custom
of hanging by means of rope.
Missouri has never taken to the
innovation of the electric chair. Our
laws still provide that capital Offend
ers be hanged by the neck until
dead" That is an indefinite term Us
to time. 1t may mean a fraction of d
second. it may mean ten minutes. 1t
may mean much longer. Anyone who
has ever seen a hanging, and it is by
no means privilege to see one, must
admit that it is crude way of TAX
ing life. The commissions of a strang~
ling man or woman are not beautiful
to look upon. The witness is likely
to feel that the system is not merciful.

Chinese Methods of Journalism

with the result that Kong. the man
! who owned the coat had to go to
prison.
A horse driver was charged with
cereless driving and thus injuring a
Mr.. Chung. He was fined SIS. He
| repeated the offence and received a
similar fine. but not having the mon
ey he was sentenced to Jail.
Two men We're charged with steal
ing S2.260 from a rich man. They
We're sentenced but later il was found
the judgment was on the wrong men
so they were released.
When Chinese reporter, a cub if
one may judge from his writing,
brings back notes on story, the
white paper seems to be more or less
covered with magnified bacilli which
have arranged themselves in orderly
shape. This running hand the Chi
nese use is very rapid and admirably
suited for newspaper. This particular
note is copy of a brOadside issued
and scattered about town which
says that the revolution in Hupeh,
one of the eighteen provinces, is seri-
Gus. and that the governor of this
province has been appointed to
a yicerOyship.
The cry of extra" is no longer the
exclusive property of the west, for in
the streets of Shanghai and other
cities in the Orient are to be seen and
heard newsbOys with the la
test news about the recent revOlu-
tiOns. Much printing ink has been
used on account of the rioting in
China. and some of this has found
its way into "scareheads" on these
extras. One in blue ink that was
scattered in the streets of Shanghai
said that the killing of the Manchus
was approved by the foreigners be-
cause the Chinese We're oppressed and
that the republic would be running
in few days.
This bundle of Chinese reporters
notes, war extras police court jOt-
tings, together with the kilograms all
in numbers was sent to the school of
Journalism at the University of Mis-
souri, by Carl Grow, a former student
of the University and now on the
staff of the China Press, the only
American newspaper in the Orient
which could show the method of gath
ering news employed in Shanghai

1411, 6511, 1906, 1929, 6757. A
man calling out these numbers might
be mistaken for grocery clerk
checking up monthly bill, or per-
haps a travelling man looking for his
trunk checks; but not so. The i'm
perial DEGREES in China are sent to
the newspapers of the country in
this manner. and the above numbers,
which are part of telegram, tell of
the recent rioting in the empire. Each
of these numbers represents a
Chinese character. and they are sent
in this way because no code could
be invented for the thousands of
characters which make up the Chi
nese language.
Upon receipt of the telegram a
clerk looks up the numbers in die
tionary, puts the character meant
over each number. then this is later
put into readable form by a trans
lator. A slip of paper from an ad-
ding machine forms a close resem-
blance to such telegram.
From twenty-six letters can be
made any word in the English Ian
guage. but in China every one nf the
thousands of characters has to be re-
membered.
A2OIt as Interesting as the above
is a Chinese reporters copy of police
court proceedings. They are writ
ten on piece of pape- itirI, six
inches long and about eight inches
wide. Fourteen laundry slips pasted
together would be the nearest thing
conceivable in point of resemblance.
When these hieroglyphics had been
translated the following would be
known:
An actor named Jang and his wife
were up before the police court for
trying to get money by arranging
d wedding with the daughter-in-law
of their next door neighbor This
actor had come from the country
with a little money which had soon
been spent, and now he was trying to
live by means of his wits. Two hun
dred dollars was the sum he was
to get by means of this matrimonial
jugglery.
Another case up before the police
judge was that of a servant who had
stolen fur coat from his master, who
i'll return had shot the servant. This
was seen by the sister of the servant,
