The first really national and representative
bodv that ever met in China under authority oil
an imperial edict convened on oct. D, l9lo. IL
has been variously called senate. an ADVISORY
assembly and provisional parliament; the last
appellation seems most appropriate, as the body
had no legislative powers its functions Deing
confined TO petitions and reports to the throne
on matters pertaining to the formation OF insti-
tutions and enactment of laws in accord with the
age.
The parliament proved to be able, indepen-
dent body equal to the situation broad-minded
in its views and realizing its responsibilities
Rarely does a single act mark the upward turn
of a decadent nation but In China 1t was the
signing by the emperor, KouangSu. July 26. 1898,
of the edict on the liberty Of the PRESS drawn
UP by the ardent reformer Yang You-Wei.
Recitng the various needs of railways. the i'm
perial edict of Mag 9, 1911, points out that for
years the emperor has fostered local railway
projects, but that hitherto the Chinese companies
"have so maladministered affairs that they are In
inextricable confusion; they have built neither
main lines nor branches. In the Province or
Kuantong they have issued bonds covering half
the work, while the railroad has hardly been CON-
menced. In SZe-Chuan enormous sum. In
trusted as bonds to bank, has been lost by fail
ure of the bank. In Hupeh and in Holman largo
sums have been spent uselessly in past years."
1t should be said that Canton. which had made
the greatest progress from local resources, accept
ed the naturalization. The Importance and grav-
ty Of the action Of assemblies and local organza-
tions In Sze-Chuan and Holman may be estimated
from the fact that their combined population
quite considerably exceeds that of the United
States, and is about onefourth of that Of China.
The action of the imperial government has been
described by Chinese writer "a truly unex
pected and unfavorable blow to provincial auton
omy" An early successful Issue in Sze-Chuan
will be a welcome evidence of that central CO
ordinated power which is vitality essential to the
future utility Of the Chinese Empire.

in a short time.
The announcement was made by the
Central railway company several months
ago that they would establish IS expert
mental farms along their line for the
purpose of giving the farmers demon
STATIONS in the value of scientific agri-
culture to the farmer. The road derives
nc remuneration from the establishment
of these experimental arms save the in
creased freight that will ultimately result
from the great agricultural development
in the section traversed by the road
which will be stimulated by the estab-
lishment of the roads experimental farm.
The farmer agrees to cultivate 40 acres
of land along plan I'd be lad out by
the scientific agriculturist Of the rail-
road. He gets all the benefit Of the ex-
pert advice and supervision and retains
all the benefit. except that he must pass
along the advice received by him to
those of his neighbors who may desire
it. When the plan o. che Central Rail-
way company was first announced to es-
tablish these Is Experimental farms, the
Manufacturers and Merchants associa-
ton went after one of them in earnest
and Mr.. Chastain has EXPIRE Ssed himsei
as beng almost sure that Floyd county
