IN CHINA

h peculiar top~sy-turviness of the
Chinese mind is nowhere better i'll
Illustrated than in a recent proclanla-
ton of President Yuan anent tho high
cost of living. which. il seems, agi-
tates the Flowery republic to a de-
sreA scarcely less than that which
prevails in the occident. President
iuan has told his sodden subjects
that in order TO grapple with the
problem they must cut out eXtrava-
games incident to marriages and fn-
rt"als. and get down to a has sis nf
strict economy in all the various
walks of life.
AS proof of the assertion which we
have heard so often. that China is as
dark as equatorial Africa. so far as
progress is concerned, and that her
inha bitants would not know "A reform
If one should fly up and hit them in
the face, we are old by President
Yuan that the policy which he nov,
advocates was adopted way back in
the days when Yu sat upon the i'm
perial throne. Yu. it appears. enforc-
ed habits of thrift upon his people,
who. with hat backwardness which
ever characterizes the reactionary.
have never until now fully shaken
off his baneful influence. And now
Yuan, deaf to the call OF the uplift,
prefers the beaten track of his Bour-
bon ancestors to the broad highway
of modern advance.
Not so in the United States. We
are a progressive people. We branch
out. No simple life for us. No cheese
pairing. no cheap economy. Back in
the days of Jefferson our presidents
were content to travel to the scene
of the Inauguration upon the back Of
a horse. Later. during the Adams
reign. the consort of the president
was not beneath hanging out the
family wash in the east room. But.
thank goodness, We have outgrewn
all that. Automobiles and automatic
washing machines prevail today.
Economy? Go to-!

UNCLE SAM GOES
BROKE NEXT MONTH

Washington. June 21.-on July /.
Uncle Sam will be broke Tie ex-
ecutive and judicial machinery Of the
government will not be able to operate
without going into debt. This chaotic
condition has resulted from the agree
ment Of the house to adjourn next
Monday until next Thursday. June 81.
and then until Monday. July 1. to
oblige the democratic members who
have political business in Baltimore.
No business can be transacted during
the week. A similar agreement OBJ
tains in the senate. New appropria-
tons must be available for operating
the government after July 1, when
the fiscal yea begins. The. president
vetoed the army bill and tied up the
war Office. The naval appropriation
bill is with the senate. Neither the
legislative. judicial and executive sup
ply bill nor the sundry civil bill can
become a law until after congress re-
sumes business. A resolution tenn
porarily continuing the existing ap-
preparations will be passed early next
month.

v HOW THE WIRELESS WORKS. /.
.
electrical News.)

During the last few weeks we have
heard a great deal about wireless tele-
eraphN. n hundreds of people have
confessed their ignorance of this mys-
ferrous system of transmitting the
messages of mankind. On most n
street corner O could find the vii
Rage oracle eXpounding and explain
ing the dark mysteries Of wireless, and
nine times out of ten he knew nothing
at all about 1t.
1t is quite impossible to describe the
details of a wireless station so that a
novice Will understand. but the princi-
pie or the thing is easily comprehend

in waves whose lengths car be meas
urea. Ihus. the sun gives out in every.
direction light in a series of undulat-
ing waves which may not only be
measured. but can he DETECTED. polar

may he gained from the we'll known
TACT that hi a stone is thrown into
a smooth pool of water a series of cir
GUAR waves extends in all directions.
II any floating objects come within
these waves, they are osci!latd.
1T was the lanented Prof. Hertz
VINO that electricity. like
llght and heat. also move in waves
which may be measured. Just pre.
cisely how these waves pass roue
the atmosphere is not wholly under
stood. but ii is believed that they
nave some relation I ether. which is
ofnntpresent and which is believed to
constitute all matter under different
negative electrical conditions.
In wireless biography a series of
Iiertlzian waves are set up by power
full electrical dynamos or batteries.
and these arc discharged from the top
OF a high mast or pole. These waves
extend in all directions, and unless
1helr force is expended by distance
theN excite certain effects in the re-
ceiVer or wireless telegraph instru-
ments within the one, just as the
waves disturb chips IN a pool. Mes
sages are sent and received somewhat
on the plan of ordinary Morse code by
wires. in that electrical impulses are
regulated so as to spell words accord
ing to a code.
In recent years many kinds of re-
ceiVers have been used. and the pro-
cess Is now simpler than formerly. but
any successful transmission Of wave
depends a good deal on the state OF
the atmosphere. electrical storms be-
ing dfsadvantageous. Also when many
wireless outfits are working in same
zone much confusion results, and Oft
en- messages are transmitted with
great difficulty and sometimes NOT al
all.
To Marconi belongs the credit of
making a practical success of the dis
coVeries OF others. but to Hertz be-
longs h credit of making the system
possible.

FLUX OF YOUNG LAWYERS.

Secretary Wilson'S contention that
our schools are turning out too many
la Wyers for the good nf tho profession
and all concerned will meet with no
quicker Acknowledgement in any
quarter than from the legal frater-
nifty itself. Already VIGOROUSLY over
crowded. the ranks are being recruit
ed in constantly increasing numbers,
resulting in a state of things not un-
like that which would accompany an
annual irruption of aliens into an ov-
erpopulated country. Perhaps the
worst feature of the matter is the
lessenine of the rewards of the pro-
f~ession through wider distribution i'll
TO so many more hands, "A condition
that tends TO make drones nr non
supporters nf many of the most shin
ing ard ambitious among the youth
of the generation.
Secretary Wilson. however. confines
himself I" pointing out the evil "a
suits that fall upon a~criculturc. The
fields are CRYING aloud for trained
men" the secretary remarks. while

are jobs for only a small percentage

rohs all walks of life, with the prob
bile exception of a medical profess
sion. The pulpit. once so attractive,
mas bee nespecially hard hit. and still
others sorely feel the drain, though
not so conspicuously.
Secretary Wilson would have our
educators take up the problem in
their national meetings. and direr,
the attention of students to the over
crowded condition of the legal pro-
fession and TO the unsatisfied do
mands of the industries for young
men of education. thereby giving a
different direction 80 their life pur-
suits. The secretary's suggestion is
practical. and doubtless would go to-
ward a happy solution. But does it
not belong tn the legal profession IL
self to do something? II. for one
thing, admission to the bar is less
difficult than the path to other call
ings. which apparently is the case.
a remedy simple and effective lies
within easy reach. Evidence is not
lacking that the standard of qualiti-
cation has been ike too low. and
also that examinations are too loose
~ carried on To close the door to the
unfit.

WOMEN AT
MONTE CARLO
They Arc Poor Players, But
Are Blessed With Wonderful
Luck,

london Chronicle.)

(London Chronicle.)
Naturally a woman going to the
gaming tables is interested in her
fellow-women. If she has never been
there before she looks instinctively fo,
their horns. hoofs. and even tails. in
fond remembrance of Sunday school
literature on gambling. But she gets
a great surprise. for she, might al.
o fancy herself. so far as dress
ant Sunday afternoon in a noncon.
formist chapel in the provinces!
Women sit as seriously at the tables
as they might do at their prayers
And after studying them. pretty close.
~ for nearly two months. ! am in.
clined to say that if gambling is a,
the root of male human nature. it IL
also at the branch. bud and blossom
of the female.
Women have wonderful luck. While
men work out elaborate Systems
and sit frowning over figures the
mysteries of which would take a very
Napoleon of nance to elucidate, and
then play-and lose. women simply
plank their money on the number
they are sure is going to win," AMI
they do win!
1t is not at all an uncommon thing
to see a woman sitting against the
wall. her husband by her side waiting
70 put pieces on at her command
While he trots to and from the tables
telling her what numbers turned ur
last. fussing and Tuning. and worry
ing VIA to do next. she calmly sur.
veys the figures she has jotted down
gives him another piece" at the
psychological moment to put on. and
her big velvet embroidered bag grows
wider in circumference every hour
The five franc piece is YER heavier
and clumsier TO carry than our crown
piece. But she is SO thoroughly used
to it in quantities that she does no,
mind at all, but says: THE heavis,
the better!!"
These ladies play with a sang-froid
an indifference as to whether they lost
or win. which Is only equaled by theil
menkind. ! have seen one of the
Vanderbilts lose a fortune in an hour
without seeming to notice 1t. And
have seen a man whose stake Of 10t
francs won him over 5000 the mex
moment have to be tapped on the
shoulder by the croupier to pick up hi,
winnings. He had forgot that he had
a stake on! Good luck and bad alike
are taken as calmly as a lake receive,
rain.
1t is scarcely in human nature, per.
haps, to know when to stop gambling
after one has once begun. and hence
all the sad tales Of the broken bank,
Of those who have been to Monte
Carlo.
The game of roulet itself is perfect.

MAN
HURT BY TRAIN
Struck By MOI thern Pacific
Engine at Casselton and
Taken to Fargo.

Fargo, N. D.. June 22.-Ed. Sulli-
van, aged about so years. who claims
Chicago as his home city was struck
by a Northern Pacific switch engine at
Casselton about , o'clock Friday aft
ernoon and probably seriously injured.
he was brought to Fargo. on a freight
train. and. he says, was pu off in
the railroad yards about q mile from
the city.
sullivan declares 1t was with great
oimcuity he succeeded in making his
way down town, and then, unfortu-
nately. he failed to locate the police
station and proceeded across the river.
upon discovering his mistake, he says
ne started bac kto Fargo and met
what Is known at police headquarters
to the station. where he was put to
bed and a doctor summoned. Just
what disposition will be made of the
case is not determined. but IL it de-
Velops. that the man is seriously in
jured he will be taken to the hospital.
Trying to Locate Crew.
Chief of Police Keefe is making an
effort to determine the identity Of the
crew which brought Sullivan from
casselton. The injured man was un-
able to tell the number of the train.
remembering only that it left Cassel-
ton shortly after 3 o'clock.
Sullivan says he had gone to Cassel-
ton to secure work as a farm hand.
having been employed there in a SINH
lar capacity before. He was crossing
the Northern Pacific railroad tracks,
and to avoid an approaching passen-
ger train he stepped onto a track up
on which stood a string of freight
cars. Apparently the engine was
backing into the string and was ap-
preaching from the rear, and Sulli-
van. confused with the sound Of the
passing passenger train. failed to hear
n switch engine and was knocked
a considerable distance, according to
his story.
Stranger in q Fit.
A young fellow. said to be a stranger
in the city. was suddenly taken with
a mt on First avenue this afternoon.
A physician and Chief of Police Keefe
We're called, and administered to him.
but 1t was some time before he re-
covered. and he was removed t O the
police station until he felt we'll enough
to go on his way.
Owing to the intense pain suffered
by the man it was not determined
definitely last night whether or not
he had suffered any broken ribs, al
though it was the opinion that he had,
and that he had also been injured in
ternally. There are only slight bruises
on the surface Of his body, but the
more serious injury seems to be locat-
ed internally toward the back on the
right side.

Clark and Foss His Ticket.

Champ Clark will be nominated on
he first ballot at Baltimore" said j.
G. Kemp of Little Rock. Ark. There
is absolutely no doubt OF his in my
mind / believe that the only fight to
he made at the Baltimore convention
will be over the candidate for vice
president. There have not been many
names suggested for second place on
the ticket. 1t seems to me, however.
that some eastern democrat should be
chosen for the honor. and although
the friends of Gov. Foss of Massa-
chusetts state that under no circum-
stances will he allow his name to go
before the Baltimore convention as
the vice presidential nominee. l am in
cllned to the position that the gov
ernor of the Bay state would add ma
terialy to the strength of the ticket
and insure its success in the am
paign.
Some people say that Gov. Foss has
an eye on the presidency. This
doubt. believe that he would be
satisfied with second place, having as
Il running mate such a DISTINGUISHED
democrat as the present speaker of the
house. Gov. Foss would, i'm my
opinion. carry with him not only New
England. but a vast majority Of the
so-called eastern states. believe that
when the time comes the name of
Gov. Foss will be presented as the
most available candidate with Speaker
Clark who could possibly be chosen"

JOINT MEETING.
Fargo Street Railway officials and
City Council Meet Monday.

Fargo, N. D.. June 22.-In all prob
ability the cit ycouncil and the street
railway company will get together
on h franchise proposition at the
meeting Monday evening. according
to the report brought from Chicago
b manager Hibbard,. who returned
Friday evening from the Windy city
where he talked the matter over with
his company.
The ordinance committee, repre-
sentatives of the Commercial club.
city officials and officers Of the Fargo
& Moorhead Street Railway company
agreed upon an ordinance 5000 time
ago.. which. it was believed. would
prove favorable to all concerned. Mr..
Hubbard then went to Chicago to pre-
sent the matter to the H. NJ. Byiles-
by company. owners of the local
street a company. Upon returning
last evening he said that while the
proposed new ordinance did not in
corporate all of the features the com
pany desired. nevertheless the ordi-
nance is regarded in a favorable light,
and his company is wil''-- to -.-'-n
certain concessions in order to reach
a settlement.
II cannot discuss details at this
time" said MIR. Hubbard FRIDAY EN-
ing. but the matter will he consid-
r at the council meeting Monday
evening. and 1 believe everything will
develop o. K. and we will Soon be in
a position to proceed with the pro-
posed improvements"
The improvements referred to in.
cludes the building of an electric
railway line to Dilworth. MINI. This
n company was unwilling to ",der-
take unless a new franchise could be
agreed upon. The company has been
operating eight under the pres
ent 2O-year franchise. and the new
contract will warrant the improves
ments contemplated.

"Of course 1t is somewhat early Ia

leading politician of San Francisco.
"Hut at h same time the new . ma
tlonal committee, which will be or

see that he aspires to the same office
at the Baltimore convention. and will
doubtless have the support of the Calf
fornta delegation.
But I bespeak for him the better
position TO serve the democratic party.
whose principles he so eloanentiy
champions, that of chairman Of our
national committee. While I have pro-
1ound respect for Norman E. Mack
and his predecessors in this high Of
nee, l think hat it is about time the
position went to the west.
We have had democratic national
chairmen in the past from the west
and south-able mel like the late
James K. Jones of Arkansas. who
HANDLED the memorable BRYAN cam
palgn of 1896. Arthur Pue German
was the chairman of Grover Cleve-
and's successful campaigns. Thomas
Tageart Of Indiana. was in charge Of
the campaign for Alton B.. Parker.
and MIR Mack has had four wears AT
the helm. We of the west are in
clined to think that the new chair
man. especially if Champ Clark is
nominated, should come from our
country. AT the same time we do
not wish to be understood as in any
sense d~ictatorial."

Lands Favors a Dark Horse.

Former Representative Charles *.
Landis of Indiana cannot see that
either Mr.. Taft or Col. Roosevelt will
bring success to the party in Novem-
Der.
! Il have talked with scores of re-
puhlicans during the last few DAYS"
continued Mr.. Lands. and not one
of them has felt as though either Taft
or Roosevelt can be elected if nomi-
mated for the presidency. And doubt
less this is the way many delegates to
the Chicago convention feel about it.
Then why should either be nomi-
mated? I have always felt that the
republican party was Of more import
ance than the temporary triumph of
any man. In the present emergency
there Is only me thing to do. from a
sensible. political standpoint, and that
is To nominate a man like Justice
Hughes. He could he elected. 1t is
UP to the delegates at Chicago to lift
themselves above the passion of the
hour and nominate a man for whom
all republicans can vote"
