children and Work.

Sensible talk. The idea
that children should not work
is nonsense, is a positive and
lasting harm to the children.
Their physical, moral and
mental welfare should al
ways be carefully guarded,
Of course; neither should
they be allowed to slave to
support worthless parents in
idleness, but a child who is
not taught to work is greatly
wronged aud handicapped in
the race Of life. Early trans
ing in habits of industry is
the most important lesson a
child can learn and the
parents who fail to teach
these lessons encourage idIe~
ness and idleness begets
vice. .-Statesville Landmark.

CHINESE FAMINE.
PItIfll Stories Of Starvation. Novel Plans
for Relief. Gall for Heip. p

ioI heliel. udll TOT heIp. ~
1t will doubtless surprise
Americans to learn that in
many Of the interior cities
OF China are civic improves
ments associations whose OBJ
jects are similar to those of
such organizations in = this
country. The most enligh>
tened and public spirited
Chinese are handed together
in those associations for the
purpose of promoting educa,
ton, sanitation, and the com>.
mon good, and to suppl ess
graft aud other forms of
political corruption. All + of
which sounds familiar to
American ears. v...
For the first tine these
organizations of the Chinese
''best people" are to be active-
ly enlisted in carrying out
the famine relief measures
planned by the relief commits
tee at Shanghai. This is of
especial interest in the Unit
ed States because the relief
funds now being raised by
the Red Cross will be- distri-
buted through the Shanghai
Committee. The famine re-
lief fund will be largely used
in employing the famine suf-
ferers to reconstruct their
own dykes and roads which
have been destroyed by floods.
Thus the idle and despairing
people will be enabled to
earn a living while waiting
for another harvest and will
at the same time be helping
to restore their country to
normal conditions. One of
the most serious problems in
relief operations attending
other famines has been the
pauperizing effect upon the
population of receiving sup-
port during prolonged periods
OF idleness. The plan now
to be adoped promises to re>
duce this demoralizing re>
suit. G. D. Jameson, the
American Red Cross engineer
who has recently travelled ex,
tensively through the dis
tricts which have suffered
much from famines in late.
years, reports that the people,,
fnding crops usually a failure
and relief certain, show a
natural inclination toabandon
their lands and turn to beg
gary. The tendency it is
hoped now to check by means
of a system Of relief hand
upon honest work..
The present unsettled poll
tical conditions in China
make it impossible for the
Chinese Government to con-.
tribute literally to the relief
funds. For this reason it be>
came the more imperative
that the United States, al
ways China's friend, shalt re-
spond to the need generously.
Famine conditions are 80
desperate that any descrip>
tion of them seems almost in-
credible. Mr.. Jameson writes
of professions Of gaunt. starv-
ing people wandering aim>
lessly along the roads, falling
and dyeing in the mud when
they can go no further. Day
after day he passed dead
bodies of men, women and
children lying where they
had fallen. And the famine
must continue until summer
before new crops can be har.
vested. Nearly LOCO, 600
persons live in these famine
districts, which cover thou>
sands of square miles. >

mittee has asked the United
States to raise a relief fnnd

The Signs of The Times

The present indications point to new
progf essive program in political lines.
There is time for new things to be tried,
and time for old things to pass into
history in accordance with the science of
political economy.
It seems that history is about to repeat
itself in this respect in the formation,
PRONUNCIATION and organization OF new
political party for the people and the
common good. The early '50s" and
''6O's" are recalled, and reminds one of
the changes which took place that trans
formed even our social and religious life.
Perhaps the changes then were too rad
ical, but they had to come.
So it is now, the changes are coming,
and they may be radical. However, we
hope the present changes will come
about in a milder form than those OF
earlier days, for we know the radical
changes in the 1905" were detrimental
..tp.our prosperity.
The changes now about to take place
can be made, and we believe will be
made, without disturbing our commerce.
