WAITED LONG FOR REWARD
Great Frenchman at Last Has OBJ
taIned Recognition Of Hls
Great Work.

J. Henri Fabre, the great French
entomologist, greatest of the present
day, has lived to be nearly ninety
before coming into the fame tc
which his labors from childhood en-.
titled him. Born of poor parents
he was forced to begin work early in
life, but managed to obtain a free
education at the college at Rodez, il
return for his services in the church
choir. He studied Latin and neyel
forgot it. Eve became an instructor
in physics and other studies in the
College of Ajaccio, to keep body anc
soul together. For over forty year,
his life was one of continuous pri.
vations. He wrote books on natura,
history, but they brought him little
financial return. Only recently his
true worth became known to the
world, and now his writings are web
paid for and the lifelong student has
a comfortable home near Serignan,
France, where he is supremely happy
with his beasts and insects.

New Type Of Ocean Weasel More Than
FuIfiIIs Expectation Of Its
Promoters.

The Selandia, the first mechani-
cally driven passenger and cargo ves-
sci to be independent Of steam, has
arrived back in London, having
completed a round-trip journey to
Singapore, total distance of about
81, 800 miles.
The Selandia's progress east Of
the Suez canal occasioned great ex-
element amongst the natives. The
mystery surrounding the absence of
tunnels and sails resulted in her
gaining the name of the "devil
ship" and as such abe was heralded
from Bangkok to Singapore. Great
incredulity existed as to the nature
of the vessel at first, even amongst
the naval officials of one important
eastern country, but this was dis
PEELED after days cruise upon the
vessel.
Although the vessel embodies
many new features, no difficulty was
experienced in navigating the ship
and in consumption Of fuel and gen.
eral behavior she is said to have be-
haved remarkably well. So well
pleased are her owners, the Danish
East Asiatic society, that it is said
three additional motor ships of
greater tonnage are to be built.
During her stay in the far east
the Selandia, which is handsomely
appointed as a passenger vessel, was
utilized by the crown prince of Siam
and his suite for a short cruise.

pETrIcoAT RULE IN cHIN1
Women Always Have Commanded
Respect In the Land Of
CoIeetlale.

Az a matter of historical fact, the
new woman of China is not quite
new. The position Of women in Chi
ma has always been high.
The late empress dowager, who, in
her time, received deal of free adj
vertisement, not of the kindliest
brand, was no more an exception
among the dowager expresses of
China than she was a monster.
Mr.. Okuda, while he was serving
as the third secretary to the Japan
ese embassy at Pekin, made care
full study Of the social and CONNER
cial life Of China and wrote a book.
He says that petticoat government
is general thing in China; that
the position Of her women is even
higher than that of her Occidental
sisters.
"China is the country which re-
spects and values her women exceed
ingly," he declares. "a country
where woman's power is strong.
Even among the lower classes the
husband cannot lay a violent hand
on the wife, and the matrimonial
quarrel has only one end invariably
the victory for the wife" -Adachi
Kinnosuke, in the American Review
Of Reviews.

Wilson and the Trusts.

Wilson has been governor OF New
Jersey nearly two years and he has
not even raised his finger against
corporate interests says the Bur-
lington Clipper, which ignorantly or
otherwise crowds much misinforma-
ton into small space
In Governor Wilson's inaugural
address he dwelt upon the evils Of
New Jerseys incorporation laws as
il, he were very much alive to the
SITUATIONS, and in the state convention
in 1911 he drafted The plank that
was put in The party platform de-
manding change in these laws
The Legislature Of this gear, being
Republican. failed to act, and in the
state platform not long ago the DEM
ocratic party, again led by Governor
Wilson, returned once more To the
attack
It is true, as The Clipper says, that
tile Standard Oil and other gr,sping
monopolies operate rightin the state
of which Wilson is eovernor--and
the Republican Legislature refuses
even to attempt to restrain these
rampant and iniquitous combiha-
tions.

The Election Next Tuesday.

Political signs point to the election
of Governor Wilson next Tuesday,
but indifference to the result under
the circumstances is frowned upon |;
the campaign orators are still talking
away as if the people hadn't made up
their minds how to vote months ago
Perhaps they are hoping for land
slide, which appears to be remote
possibility, but whatever way the
election goes the end of this tenn
pestuous campaign will come as a
relief.
The several candidates for the
presidency are all good men and, as
it has been said, they are better men
than they appear to think each other
As between Taft and Roosevelt, the
President has shown more forbear-
ance and self-control, but the Colo
nel's prize-ring personality has en-
deared him to many of his country
men who are not fussy about what is
said and claimed and done in the
heat Of long campaign.
Governor Wilson is preferred
apparently by enough voters to elect
him, and, what is most surprising,
the business men of the country are
awaiting his probable victory with
the utmost unconcern, though If we
believe tile Republican spellbinders
the sunlight of prosperity will suffer
total eclipse if he gets hold of the
helm of the ship of state. He has had
a good deal to say about the tariff,
and he has not been very successfully
answered. He argues for gradual
and careful revision in the interests
of the people, but doubtless he
wouldn't hesitate to maui the { to
some minds sacred tariff system to
accomplish his beneicent purpose
President Taft has been working the
prosperity" issue pretty hard lately
II Prosperity is with us again we
might give thanks in snme measure
10 summer showers and golden har-
vests; we would have bad them in
