China Is ruled from the grave rather than the throne, reads from
right to left instead of from left to right, and favors suicide instead
@ homicide where an exquisite revenge is sought. Its social system
seems uncanny, but open its proverbial philosophy and one is on
familiar ground. The western proverb of mote and beam takes th,
form in China: "Make it a habit to assail your own vices and failing,
before you assal those of others" The Spanish proverb, ut is q
waste Of ather to shave an ass" is somehow recalled by the Chinese,

and western practice has avowed as much. The Chinese saw,

vulgar person what will pay" "a wise man is impartial but not
neutral and a fool neutral but not impartial" "be concerned not that
men do not know you, but that you have no ability" "happiness and
trouble stand at every ones gate, and yours is the choice which you

START AUDITORIUM
 CAMPAIGN TODAY

After the meeting of the Pastors union tomorrow the campaign for permanent auditorium in Birmingham will start with energy. At this important meeting to- morrow the names of the members of the campaign committees will be an- nounced and a permanent chairman will also be given out.
 The special committee, elected at the last regular meeting to nominate workers on the campaign committees, met Thurs day and finished their list of nominees The nominations were not made known, as perhaps some changes will be made
 At this session members for the com mittee to manage the building campaign and members to serve the meeting committee will be elected. After the cleo tion on Monday it is thought that active work will be begun to raise the necessary $20 0O0, with which the auditorium will be erected.
 It is also. expected by the time of the session Monday the receipt of the &C., ceptance of their invitation to Gypsy Smith will be received. It may be re- called that the imperative reason for the erection of this auditorium was to erect building that would accommodate a crowd of 10000, in order to obtain the services of this evangelist.
 Although nothing definite can be stated prominent business man has been nom mated by this special committee to act as chairman of the campaign. The man selected is very prominent in business and social circles and with such an ac- quisition 1t is thought that the campaign cannot fail in an attempt to give this city the much needed auditorium.

TAFT PLANNING
 IMPORTANT TRIP Expected to Open the 1912 Presidential Campaign
 September 16

Washington, August 5-The most im- portant trip that President Taft has planned since he has been in the White House, in view of the republican leaders, a trip during which he is expected to open the 1912 presidential campaign for his party, will begin September l6. It will last at least four weeks and should 1t later be decided to extend the outing to the Pacific coast, it will be stretched into six weeks, so that the President will nos get back to Beverly or Washington until November
 According to the plan so far drawn up at the White House the President will visit most of the states in the middle west north of and including Missouri, and will make incursions into practi- cally all of the states which have pro gressive congressional delegations. The President so far has given almost no con- sideration to speechmaking on the trip. but it has long been the idea of repuD- lcan leaders that he would make as many political addresses as possible west of the Mississippi.
 The President will open the Appa- lachian exposition at Knoxville, Tenn, September IS, and speak at the Karf- sas state fair at Hutchinson, Kas., Sep tember 26. He will speak at the na- tional G. A. R. encampment on Au gust 23.
 From Hutchinson the President ex- poets to travel into Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin, where he may see Pauline Wayne, the White House COW, which is to be on exhibition at the International Dairy mems exposition in Milwaukee. From this point the party may turn again into Kansas and Iowa.
 If the trip is to end in four weeks, Milwaukee probably will be the last stopping place. If it should be ex- tended the President will journey to Denver, Colorado Springs, Salt Lake and the coast, taking in California, Oregon and Washington, and returning east over a northern route.
