The Practice OF America

lhe American principle and practice
OF eftlclency', as the path both to low
prices Tor the consumer and large
protl.s for the producer, receives its
judicial stamp and approval in the deci-
sion of the Interstate Commerce Conf
mission denying the plea OF the rail
roads OF the country, except one or
two in the Southwest, for increased
rates
In every other land the way to se-
cure larger product and larger
profit has been to crowd the hours of
labor, to increase toll and to raise
prices as fast as monopoly could be
secured The American plan is not to
increase hours, but to increase eff
cheney; not to dawdle. but to drive, not
to work by chance, but by method and
plan, to pay high for speed and rapid
output and to decrease the cost to the
consumer by decreasing the cost per
unit of output in every possible way,
increasing at the same time the profit
OF the producer, because his margin is
left larger.

The Negro Who Shot Out the
White Mans Eyes.

ONE of my friends writes me that certain
~ partisans of Hog-it-all Smith deny the
story of the pardon of the above mentioned
negro. I never make charges that | cannot
substantiate Could not afford to. Even when
the accused buy up a witness-as F. B. Pond
was purchased-it does not take me long to
corrobOrate such a witness from other
sources as hotel registers, Bernard state
ments and the testimony of Mrs. DR.. Porter.
The negro who received full pardon from
Governor Smith is named Dan Wade. For
some reason unknown to me, he wanted to
murder poor white man, named James
Beard. One night as Mr.. Beard was washing
his feet on his porch, preparatory to going to
bed, the negro crept up in the dark and shot
at Beard, intending to kill him. Instead, he
shot out both of the aUh5te mans eyes.
The would-be assassin fed but was cap
The judge sent him up for life
This all happened in Miller County. Geor-
gia. Nobody down there petitioned the gov
ernor to pardon the criminal. No one down
there much as knew that an application
had been made for a pardon. There was in
fact, no application for pardon, so far as [
can learn There were several pardons grant
ed by Smith that never were passed on by the
Prison Commission, at all. This NAV have
been one of them.
The law wisely requires a governor to re-
port his pardons to the Legislature, with his
reasons therefor. Smith violated that law as
he did SO many others.
The last heard of Dan Wade he was said
to be living at Pittsburgh. Georgia. The last
[ heard of James Beard he was living in Mil
Ter, supported by the County. A more pit
liable object would be hard to find.

OIlenC \SaVe tnOSe connected with the mis-
slons) run to one central opinion-that the
work of the missionaries, as evangelists, is
failure; but that educationally and medically
they are help to the yellow, brown and black
man.
"a prominent United States consul laid
statistics before me of two American missions
in the Far East. One had existed for wears:
it had spent $100,0OO,000 and kept twenty peo-
pie actively at work.
lit had enrolled 300 converts. "A large por-
ton of this NUMBER the Consul said. belongs
to the cOolle class, and those converts are sim
ply embracing Christianity because they think
it will improve their material prospects,
"The other mission showed a similar situa-
ton. Two hundred and fifty converts in twen-
tv years and $55, 100000 of money paid out to
achieve this result"
Now let me introduce another witness-no
less person than the W. T. Ellis whom Dr.
Broughton imported from Pennsylvania for
the express purpose of denouncing me in
Broughton's Tabernacle
The Literary Digest, for Nov. 4. 1911,
quotes W. I. Ellis as follows:
"The fact remains" says Mr.. William T.
Ellis in The Continent (Chicago) "that the
japanese officials. hitherto tolerant of all re-
hgions and not long ago contemplating the
adoption Of Christianity as the national re-
ligion, are to-day doing all in their power to
discredit it."
And, again:
"All the missionaries accept the fact that
the nation is passing through period of
reaction which makes their work most diff
cult"
Now how does that statement tally with the
glowing letters written by the missionaries,
and published in the UNCONVENTIONAL papers?
Mr.. Ellis describes at length the great nat
ional revival of Buddhism. speaks of the de-
creasing attendance upon the Christian
schools, and of the mournful admission of the
missionaries that Japan is the same old
Buddhistic Japan!
So the millions that have been poured into
that country were confessedly wasted.
But let us turn to China, where Christian
missions, of one sort or another, have been at
work for more than 100 years. Ny qoit1aeSs
qU$W be O missionary.
Rev. Augustus H. Bach worked for twelve
years in the Canton district. His statement
as to results of mission work were published
in the Brooklyn Peoples Pulpit. Hear We
him:

smart students. But out of 900 to 700 students
not one remained a christian, but as soon as
there eo0s opportunity TO 90 into government
serv5ce they forgot all about Christian teach-
ing and changed into good Co,efuciomists
mission schools, worked and kept up by
foreign money, are much liked by the Chinese,
because they can get education without pay
ing for tuition, and have white man as
friend if any official tries to squeeze some
cash out of them. I ano co1avlnced that ana
money for mission schools as sinapzy aUasted.
Ii the Chinese want Western learning let
them pay for it,"
Again this disguised missionary says:
Emission work in China, with its churches,
schools, institutions for deaf and dumb, hos
pitfalls, ETC., looks very nice to an outsider but
one feels sore to know that all these institu-
tions are kept up by foreign money, and break
down the very day that money fails to come
If the Chinese had any use for them, they
woulu keep them up by themselves, because
China is rich nation.
LAS to the future, [ do not see that Christ
ianity will make much Roadway in China"
DR.. Bach speaks of the great revival of
Confucianism in China, and says that it is
sweeping the country.
Now let me give you an example of mis-
slonary misrepresentation. In the December
number of The Missionary Voice. published
in Nashville (Tenn.) by the Methodist Mis-
sion Board, page 33, appears letter from
China, under the headline, "Does it pay to
send missionaries to foreign felds?" The mis-
slonary who wrote to the Voice is Mrs. j. D.
Frost. Read what she says:
Between twenty-five and thirty years ago
Miss Gertrude Howe, young lady of Ian
sing, Mich, responded to a call from God to
devote her life as a missionary to China.
Sometime after her arrival, a Chinaman
heard, through the thin partition separating
his room from another conversation about
and preparations going on for drowning or
otherwise disposing of the unwelcome baby
girl that had come to their home few hours
before, it being considered great misfortune
for girl baby to come to a Chinese home in
stead Of a boy. When boy arrives, he is al
ways welcome, and great feast and ceremon-
les of various kinds are enjoyed; qoHale tub
Of aoater or some other mode of destroying the
girl baby 0ao0its its advent into the home.
Sometimes she IS laid out IN the street to die
or to be devoured By dogs or sa0ine, or q man
moay came along acith q cart and pick her up
before life becomes eptinct, placing her en- 1t,
aoith other babies, dead or aziUe, to co1ry them
to q dump pize."
Did you ever in all your life, read a state
ment more monstrous! Plainly, the writer
meant to make the impression that the mis-
sionaries found these awful conditions exist
ing thirty years ago; that they still exist; and
that the missionaries are rescuing the babies
to make Christians out of them
If all the girl babies are killed, where do so
many millions of Cinnamon come from? If
the boy child is always welcomed and the girl
child is always destroyed how do the 4OO,-
100000 of Chinks propagate?

CUT SEVEN CROPS YEARLY.

Arizona has established an experiment
station in the heart of this big valley, which
is some TWEEN Jy-four miles long, and in spots
ten to twelve miles wide, down on the lower
level. The results are wonderful. Last week
they were cutting crop of alfalfa on this ex-
perimei tai farm, ana for seven consecutive
months they viii cut succeeding crops. The
only months when the crop is not cut here are
December and January.
Cotton and tobacco grow wi the greatest
iuy lriance, ana this rich aluvial soil will be
noted il very few years as the ideal spot in

in the middle of January tomatoes will be
ripe by the first OF March, ripe grapes will be
gathered in the early days OF May, and april
cots by the middle of The same month. Chic
kens and turkeys flourish there in the winter

The rainfall is exceedingly light and comes
