sequent starvation. This engineer, G.
D. Jameson, reached China in July
and has been given a cordial welcome
and all necessary assistance by the
Chinese government. As. Mr.. jane
son formerly lived sixteen years in
China his familiarity with customs
and conditions gives him a thorough
preparation for his present important
mission.
BY the terms of its federal charter
the Red Cross is charged with the
duty Of trying to prevent as we'll as
relieve distress caused by disasters.
In this instance the salary and trav-
cling expenses of Mr.. Jameson are
borne by the Red Cross, while the
Chinese government provides for all
other expenses. Most of the great
Chinese disasters which have SO fire.
quently shocked the world have been
in the form Of foods, or famines re-
sulting from the destruction of crops
by floods. The terrible famine for
the relief of whose sufferers the
world was called upon to give last
winter was caused in this way. 1t
would seem that here is one OF the
most striking opportunities ever at
forded for demonstrating the value of
preventive as compared to relief
measures.
In Indian where the spectre of
starvation follows the failure OF the
crops from drouth, irrigation will af-
ford the required relief. If the peo-
pie could be weaned away from the
absurd religious idea that the filthy
waters Of the Gauges-in which they
wash their bodies and clothes and
cast their dead animals and other
flth-must be drank in order to puri-
fy their souls, there would be less
pestilence along its valley. This may
not be as easily accomplished as the
physical regulation of floods and
drouths by engineering skill, but the
Red Cross is certainly on the right
road.

Since there is frequent overlapping
of Christian agencies, while seeking
to establish work representative of
UNCONVENTIONAL ideals, it Is our dis
tinctive work to demonstrate the ease
with which divergent religious views
ma so far harmonic as to permit
those holding them to study the bible
together, and work together in the
closest Christian fellowship.
Since the fundamentals of Chris
tian faith are agreed upon by evan
gelical Christians, it is our distinc-
tive work to publish and circulate ap-
proved literature that will set forth
the clear evangelical truth, free from
any statement of sectarian belief.
Since there are millions of people
far removed from any church, who
never receive a pastoral visit, and
hundreds Of thousands of homes too
remote to attract the church visitor,
it is our distinctive work to enter
these communities and these homes
in the name of our common Christian
faith, and with the e~vangelistic tenn
per.
Since a large proportion of these
humble homes are WltnOut a copy OF
the scriptures, and since our visits to
these homes are primarily in the in
terests of bible study work, it is our
distinctive duty to place bibles in all
such homes of the destitute.
"Since there are thousands of pub
lie school houses in the land in
which the mental life of children is
cultivated, while the spiritual life is
neglected, it is our distinctive work
wherever possible, to add to the nom
sectarian secular school the non-sec-
tartan bible school,"
The Country Church.
A splendid address on 1.-The Prob
lens Of the Country Church." was de-
livered by Rev. Joseph Wells of Des
Moines, Iowa, superintendent of the

western district. He said in part:
How to develope and maintain a
rural community life sufficiently at
tractive to young ME and women on
the farm and in love with the church
and Sunday school is q hard prob.
lem.
"a generation or two ago the coun-
try church was the centre of COM
munity life. Old and young were ex-
pected to be in their respective plac-
es of worship on the Sabbath day,
and they hardly ever failed. The
minister was respected and patiently
listened to for an hour or more. But
with the exception of the church here
and there this has all changed. The
introduction of machinery and the
combinations of capital in the large
and growing centres Of population, to-
gether with the dazzle and glare of
city life have played havoc with the
rural towns and hamlets.
During the past twenty years the
rural population only increased eigh-
teen percent while that of the city
increased fifty percent. In the last
decade twenty-eight states had an
increase in the ruarl population of
less than ten percent, seven of which
literally decreased in population. Here
is a prime reason for the high cost
Of living as we'll as the decline of the
country church. But a better day is
dawning, and the slogan back to the
farm is having its effect.
"The duty of the church and Sun
day school worker is to catch the
spirit and add to it's attractiveness by
making attractive, church and Sunday
school work. This can be done by
studying farm life in all its phases
soil cultivation, stock raising and
markets. Also the social and play
life. utilizing all of them in the in
terest Of both church and Sunday
school,"

H REGENT WINS.

MOuHuHeQ All Mira, the eX.Snan
Of Persia, has been defeated after all
The news has been received that his
Turcomans had been routed in q bat
tie lasting through Monday and Tues
day Of last week and this report is
now confirmed. 1t was a good deal
Of a battle for Persia, where most
fighting is done at close quarters.
Five hundred Turcomans We're killed
or made prisoners. Among the dead
was n Of the most capable support
ers Of the eX-shah, and among the
prisoners the commander of the ex-
shah's forces. This commander was
comfortable shot to death by a firing
squad a few hours after his capture.
The main fighting force on the gov
eminent side consisted Of the faith
full Bakhtiari %tribesmen, but these
were supported by a number Of ma
chine guns worked under the direction
of a Major Haaz, a German military
instructor in the Persian army. It
really looks like a victory for the
regents government-a deserved VIC
tory, too.
The ex-shah must have blown in
most of his ready money in getting
up this army of Turcomans, and he
will no longer receive the stipend
some $4,000 a year, according to our
recollectton-which Persia agreed to
pay him upon his promise to leave
Persia and stay away. Without money
he can do nothing against the re-
public's government. His mischief
making power may therefore be rec
koned as exhausted. On the other
hand, this victory over him will count
enormously on the side Of the regent,
Strengthening his power throughout
all Persia.
Nothing but Russia now stands in
the way Of the regents efforts to
build IN intelligent, honest and self
sustaining governmental system
among tho Pcrsians. The regent
the Nazrel-Mulk. as he is called, 1t
being customary in Persia to use the
title instead of the name-is an hon
est and instructed man. He speaks
English; is a big fellow physically,
more like a Turk than a Persian; and,
conveys an impression Of strength
underlying an amiable manner. He
is a man whom his countrymen have
every reason to trust, and, now that
he has broken the power of the ex.
shah, they are likely to trust him
more and more. II Russia will only
give him a fair chance Persia is on
the road to q better government than
she has had in two hundred years.

H CASE OF ED DAVIS.

Usually the Times adheres to the
rule Of newspapers to refrain from
editorial comment on any cas- pend
ing before a tribunal. in which public
sentiment might be Influenced by
such comment. The case Of the fiend
who outraged the school teacher in
Manitoba. while holding her a prison.
err, Is such an exception that it is
not without bounds to express the
hope that conviction may be swift and
sure, and punishment the severest.
When a man becomes such a fiend as
this one has shown himself to be, he
has forfeited all protection due him
from the law and all consideration
due him from society. He has no
right to life when he so lightly re-
CARDS the life Of others.
His long career Of crime has prov
en- that his hand has been against
law and order for years. There is a
vast difference between the man who
in the heat of passion, when reason
is for the time being dethroned, conf
mits an act against his fellowmen,
and the fiend who deliberately COM
mits a crime such as that with which
Ed Davis is charged. For the former
there should be the mercy and for
the latter the vengeance of the law.
Crimes against womanhood deserve
the severest punishment. There have
been few instances in the north of
this character. In the south it is a
we'll known fact that the man who
commits such a crime is bidding for
the rope or the fagot. But there
has never been a crime of this char
acter as fiendish, as brutal and as dia-
bolical as the one committed in the
Pembina valley. To recite even the
printable story is to rouse the indig-
ton Of every father, husband and
brother. Had his victim been fortu-
nate enough to have wounded him
during his drunken stupors so that
he could not have helped himself, and
then left him alone to die Of thirst
and hunger she would not have meted
out a tenth Of the punishment due
him. The most loathsome death is
far too pleasant for such brutes.
It is a belief among our modern
criminologists that the punishment of
the guilty is not deterrent to other
criminals. But 1t has also been
found that lax punishment Of GRIM
inals leads to more violations of law.
The full punishment under the law
inflicted upon Davis would cause an
other brute with like propensities to
pause long before he would place
himself in position to receive the
same punishment by committing a
similar crime.
An aroused public sentiment can
not change the course of the law or
the policy Of the courts. but it would
stimulate IN official determination to
bring the guilty scoundrel to justice.
