4 GOVERNMENT BY FAMILY

has been issued and the way is
smoothed for China to become .
nominal republic. The edict will
be effective only SO far Is the
retirement of the dynasty is con-
cerned. 1t can not bind the future
Of the nation. The people of China
have made up their minds to get
along without edicts in the future.
except such as they may issue
themselves through their legis-
latures and their courts.
Implacable hostil lily to the
Manchu's rather tn n an idealistic
preference for or an understanding
of democray is at the bottom of
the revolution in China. Using
this hostility as means of arous-
ing the people to overthrow the
throne, the leaders of the move
ment count upon substituting a
sort cf anoligarchial government
because the people are prepared to
accept anything offered them by
those they have been taught to SUBJ
nit 10, and there is no other
dynasty ready to contest the
throne, AZ is the case in most
countries.
The Manchus have ruled long
enough and vigorously enough to
have no rivals. This leaves the
Chinse leaders clear field to SUBJ
stitute themselves as an oligarchy
for the Ma"chus as dynasty, the
masses of the people not being
capable of actual participat ton in
genuine democracy.
The system is sui generis.
Nothing like it exists elsewhere.
China is a land of families. There
is great reverence for the head
of the family. 1t is a projection
into modern times of the patri-
archial system which is so clearly
shown in the books of the Penta-
touch.
The family is the basis of the
new franchise, each family is given
votes in proportion to its strength,
but the head Of The family will
determine how the votes shall be
cast. The people, as individuals,
will have no real voice in selecting
their legislators and officials but
will accept willingly whatever
government comes to them through
the family head oligarchy, and
will obey all laws.
A. DR.. Ng Pong Chew recently
said in St. Louis the people are
extremely law abiding and SUBJ
missive to authority. There will
be no trouble in governing them
through the family system, especi-
ally as there are now enough
educated men with modern ideas in
each family to see that govern
ment through legislative system
shall be better adapted to the
wants of the country than absolute
government through a dynasty has
been.
Those who cannot comprehend
the possibility of a republican
form Of government in a country
with such an overwhelming mass
of population untitled for demo-
crazy, will realize its possibility
when they understand this peculi-
ararity of the social organism of
China. There will be no democracy
as we understand it. at least not
until it has gradually developed
through several generations. but
there will be a republican form of
government, working through
legislatures controlled by an dig
archy Of the leading men of the
nation and based up on the soli-
darity Of the family. And it is
we'll for China in this crisis that
it has this family solidarity, to
avert anarchy and the foreign
conquest which, would inevitably
accompany it.-St. Louis Star.

ment of the Republicans. at least in so far as they could exert influence.
 There is not so much general agreement as to the two Democratic members of the board The commits sioners to be named at the August session of the state board will serve for two years, and for this reason there is more than a single election involved.
 It was believed at first that Gov ernor Donaghey would take a very active part in attempting to narie commissioners in this county whaD would obtain revenge for him be- cause of his having been so over wheimingiy defeated here in his race for governor, but if the governor has taken any active steps in this dfTSe- tion 1t has not been observed.

 For some days past the question of the selection of a list to be sub mitted from which shall be named the election board has received con sideration, and there has been much discussion of the subject in a quiet way.
 About a dozen names have been undar Icolfsideration, two of which are Republican.

IERY DOLLAR OF
 THE FLOOD FUND
MAY BE RETURNED TO THE DoNERs HERE, SAYS MAYOR
 WATERS OF COMMITTEE.
Only a Small Part Of the Money Used, Which Expense the City Will Bear Rather than
 Apportion.

Every dollar subscribed by the generous people of Hot Springs for the flood sufferers fund will be re- turned to them, if the proposal from Mayor Waters is acquiesced in by the Hot Springs Relief Committee, which has charge of the fund. Mayor Wa ters is chairman of the committee, and it was his initiative on which the fund was formed.
 It has become apparent now that the money will not be necessary TOT the end for which it was subscribed It was thought not long since that there might bv sf great eat need of seed in the flooded section, but from Little Rock comes the word that money is being loaned the district on low per cent to buy necessary seeds, and so that is being taken care of.
 There is about $500 in the fund subscribed in this city About SIP or S14 has been used in actual ex- penses. That makes the fund left practically intact. And rather than attempt to apportion the expense, Mayor Waters said if the committee agreed with him on returning the fund he would send it back dollar for doi- lar, and let the city or some one large subscriber meet the little ex- pense.
 There had been some talk Of urg- ing the committee to turn the money over to the advertising fund, or to the state fair, or for any other pub lie enterprise.
 "I do not believe in diverting one dollar of the fund.- said MT, Waters yesterday, T believe the committee will agree with me that the money should be returned to the people who subcribed it. They gave this money for the relief of humanity. They be- ieved it would be needed to keep fellow men and women and children from want. Fortunately it was not needed.
 "I am a subscriber to the state fair, and to the advertising fund, and to most other public funds, just as are other members of this commit tee, and other public spirited cit izens who gave to this relief fund. Each one of us is entitled to bestnw his own money where he wants it bestowed.
 T understand a fund like this has never been returned. I believe it would be a good precedent. There is too much of disposition to create the impression here that if you turn loose a dollar once you never can get

HELP FOR HOMESTEADERS
Leniency For Man Trying To Make
Home 10 Recommended.

A radical change in the homestead
laws that will be of marked benefit to
SETTLERS Is the plan of President Taft.
Leniency for the man who is trying to
make home on idle lands of the
state, included in the various reclama-
tion projects, is what President Taft
wants.
He intends to modify the law so
that the settler upon land being re-
claimed need not take up his resi-
dence Immediately upon filing, but
may wait two years before living on
his land. During these two years
however, cultivation must be carried
on BY the time the settler must COM
mence living on his land, he can. by
reason of this modification of the law
make a living from his farm. This
viii do away with two weary years
during which, under the present law
the homesteader usually finds IL ne.
cessary to live partly on hope.
The present provision, under which
lind is to be paid for in ten annual
installments will be so modified as to
allow patent to be issued for the
land at the end Of five years cultiva-
uon' and three years occupation.
The homesteaders generally will
welcome this change in the law. re-
ieving then. as it does. from all en-
'oreed residence on the undeveloped
arm lands during the period when il
$ hardest to make living. At the
nd Of five years the new law viii
urnish the settler with a title upon
which he can borrow money with
'hich to continue the development of
lis ranch.

POLK RANCHER DEAD
Ben Windsor Passes Away at His
Home on Willamette River; Flu
neral at Zena Yesterday.

Salem, March 19.-Ben Windsor,
whose illness suddenly developed a
few days ago, died Sunday on his
ranch in Polk county, several miles
down the Willamette river. He was
one of the heaviest land owners in
this section of the valley
He was born in England in 1892,
coming to America in 1852 Landing
in New York he stayed there a short
time and removed to Illinois, where
he resided on a farm for three and
one-half years. Lured by the gold
craze he went to California in 1856.
For three years he prospected un-
successfully and in 1859 he came to
Salem.
Here he hired out as a farm hand
and the money he earned he contin-
pally invested in lands until at one
time he was owner of 1900 acres. A
few years ago he sold about 500 acres
of this, retaining 1000 acres along
the river bank of the Willamette at
the time of his death. His lands are
considered among the best in Polk
county. His wife died some years
ago He is survived by son and
two daughters. The funeral was held
from Zena.

streets on Friday night, caused some
apprehension to the tenants and near

tinguisher put out the blaze. Before
this was accomplished, however. the
upper rooms filled with smoke and
dense volumes of it poured from the
chimney. The reflection of the light
rays from the arc lamp on the street
intersection made it appear that the
whole upper portion of the building
was in flames
