One of the finest discussions heard
IN Durham for some time was the SER
mon delivered By Rev, Franklin n.
Parker. OF Alexandria. Louisiana. IN

morning. Taking as HIS subject,
Love" from the text. Though I speak
with the tongues OF men and of angels
and have not charity. | am become as

conditions that existed among the
Corinthians ef that time. when oratory
was At is height. and the people adj

buked these people In bis cpistle. tell
ing them that love was the greatest
hing In this world. and that II their
lives wrre without love. II was a. q
mere cipher.
Mankind Is vexed with three great
questions. that OF people. circum-
stances and the problem Of living.
christ's great commandment was
Lore thy neighbor a. myself" and II
has been this love which through an
ages has been the stronghold OF the
Christian religion. The Romans. when
prosecuting the Christians had TO adj
nire them for the love which they
even showed % their prosecutors. and
this love Of mankind for mankind. has
worked wonders. always showing the
spirit Of Christ within. Adversely and
poverty often prove circumstances
that are almost unbearable and yet
with love We are able 10 bear them.
aud with love We can solve the prob

IN conclusion DR. Parker stated that
his one prayer was 20 God, forgive me
for not loving my fellow man and my
Maker more and that he trusted thai
this would be the prayer OF all Chris
tians.

THE QUESTION OF THE HOUR.

In the recent issue of Leslie's
Weekly. there is an editorial that is
we'll worth the consideration of
every democrat and republican con-
gresham and senator. Under the
caption of "The Plain TRUTH" Les
lies has the following:
THE question of the hour is,
What will the democratic majority
in the house Of representatives do
during the special session of con-
gress?' Some republicans are glee-
fully predicting tangle and the dis
comfiture of the democrats In their
endeayor to settle the tariff question.
Isn't Il a good time to take the tariff
question out of politics and to make
1t what 1t is and should be, purely
business question? Should the
prosperity of the country be endan-
gered by making politics the first
consideration? Is there not some
reasonable ground upon which the
thoughtful men of both parties can
agree TO pass not only the bill for
Canadian reciprocity, but also a
tariff bin that shall not disturb the
manufacturer or the wage Garner.
but that shall bring such relief to
the consumer as he Is fairly entitled
to? Perhaps this cannot be done,
but why not try it and give all a
rest and full dinner pail? We re-
spectfully commend this suggestion
TO the speaker of the democratic
house and TO his distinguished re-
publican predecessor.
Is not that wise bssis for set
Element of the everpresent tariff
question? Too often, as in the past,
the manufacturer and the consumer
have not been considered in a gen.
eral way, while political parties have
endeayored to keep their pledges.
and some politicians have only
thought of special interests in max
ing up the schedules. The result has
been that neither the consumer or
the general manufacturer Jared well,
and several times the result has been
disastrous to the country. /.

OF CHINESE ANCESTRY

Minted in the Flowery Kingdom more than two thousand years ago, a coin is in the possession of Coon Dip, Chinese consul for the state of Wash ington, but resident of Portland, Ore.s Together with many other coins of oriental stamp, it was taken recently from a jar uncovered by Indians on the shore of Alaska, near Wrangel. The coin in the possession of Dip was purchased from the Indians by Coon Sing Chee, an Alaska canneryman, and brought to Portland.
 In the same vicinity the Indians dug up a tombstone of ancient make, on which was inscribed in Chinese char acters the name of Lee Lei Lang Bay. Other relics were found, showing that Alaska was unquestionably inhabited by Chinese long before the Christian era began. Among the other finds was a piece of lockwood, a grade of wood produced in no other country but China It Is believed to have come rom some ship which was wreck ed.
 The coins were in jar made of pot tery. Portland Chinese regard the find as conclusive proof that the North American Indians are of Chinese des- cent In no other way can they ac- count for the presence of the relics which were unearthed. The coin brought south by the canneryman is described by the Portland Telegram as about size larger than silver dol lar. It is of copper metal and little blemished from the stain of age There is square hole cut in the center. On both sides are hieroglyphics undeciph- erable to any one but Chinese stu dent of antiquity.
 Moy Book Hin, Chinese consul at Portland, says that he has long been convinced that the American Indians are descendants of the Chinese. Dur

ing his long residence in the United States he explains that many incidents coming under his observation have led him to such a conclusion. In early days in the west he states that 1t is we'll known fact when the Indians were on the warpath they never molested a Chinaman, as they regarded his as a relative. He declares that he recalls an instance of this sort over in Idaho, when the regular soldiers were called to put down an Indian uprising. While the red men were murdering many whites that happened to cross their path, they refused to harm the Chinese who were mining in that section at the time.
 Coon Din, Moy Back and other lead ing Chinese residents of Portland give it as their opinion that more than 20 centuries ago ship engaged in the coastwise trade of the Flowery King dom, ran into terrific storm. It is coniectured that she was blown far out to sea and probably disabled. Help lessly adrift, it is surmised that event ually she brought up on the Alaska coast. The survivors managed to get ashore. Unable to return across the Pacific, they made the best of their lot by taking up their abode in. the Northland. They increased in numb CTS, and the tribes found scattered ov- CT the North American continent when Columbus arrived on his voyage of dis covery many centuries later, were the posterity of this band of shipwrecked Celestials.

school board and the Douglas teachers are making is only for start in man. ual training, but it is the best thing that has ever happened in the history of our towns educational system. An hour of manual training is worth a month of Latin. Every practical man, every business man who employs help, every man who believes that education should be useful rather than ornament al, should be staunch friend of manu- al training in the public schools. And let us give to the Douglas school board and the Douglas teachers the credit to which they are entitled. Our boys, although they live in Alaska, are en- titled to the best that modern educat ion affords.
