fore the eyes OF vast multitudes of
natives now kept in check by fear

Nicholas and George force Per-
STA to abjectly declare that she
will in the future be careful,
when engaging foreign officers,
that appointments be not made
which would be likely to injure
the interests of Russia and Brit
ain in Persia"
Not very far away from this
monarchial attempt to emascu-
late a republic in its cradle, the
mikado, another of the alleged
viceregents of God, is holding the
sword over scores of millions of
Chinese who have almost won
freedom from hundreds of years
of tyranny to make them declare
against a republic.
But the most glorious of all
ages is close at hand. The very
barbarians are moving with the
divine spirit of freedom. Even
the unbelieving heather begin to
see the work of Jesus Christ, the
great Liberater from darkness,
and feel that it is good. The
Christianized part of the world
is surely marching toward free
dom from greed, sel6shness and
legalized brutality. The unchris-
tanned are surely striking at
the crowns that represent only
power to terrorize.

" HERE is one need of the times
that the generosity of our large
givers seems not quite to have
touched. but a need which, if hand
somely met. would go far toward the
conservation of valuable material that
is now running to waste.
We have latterly learned to realize
that our wealth in forests, water power
and minerals has been dealt with so
.carelessly and extravagantly az seri-
ously to impair our resources, and to
cause mischief that only the prolonged
pursuance of a more cautious policy
viii avail to repair
But our new policy of conservation
Will not be complete till it also extends
itself outside the region of our ma

acters from being wastefu1ly sacrificed

particular class of peOple-men and

must be signed by them and presented
to the city auditor before payment is
made. This is in accordance with the
system of bookkeeping installed by Rob

completed the work of auditing the city

Before the receipts went into effect,
which was Wednesday, the employees
