THAT CHINESE LOAN.

The mystery of the Chinese loan
grows day by day, and should engross
the attention of some ingenious fabri-
Gator of international romances like
the English novelist Oppenheim. There
seems to be no less than three loan
synd ;cates now in the field, though the
--latest is said to have connections with
the ''six-power" group. The American
end of that is dominated by the Nor
gan interests. so that it is not surpris-
ing that rumor should ascribe the in
dependent" movement engineered by
the mysterious Wendell Jackson to
Standard Oil intrigue, specially as
that company is understood to have
large ambitions in China. China would
be apt to answer'in the affirmative the
question, "Is there a money trust ?"
but it now seems rather uncertain
whether diplomatic pressure can be
brought to bear to force China to can
eel 2 loan made in London with the
sanction of the Chinese embassy there.
The six-power group of course profess
that their effort to maintain a monop-
oily was in the interest of China. to
prevent foreign Intervention, but
China will be likely to read this bland
utterance as a yelled threat rather
than as an expression of disinterested
hencvolence.-Spri Republican.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

People have Mysteries and think it is

For father to tell about a new baby
takes a lot of drinks.

A good example doesn't scare the pubic

FROM OTHER PENS

AUBREY PLANTAGENET SLOCUM.
Sometimes, when the doings of our
richest Americans are cabled at great
length and great cost to respectable
front pages, we have suggested that
American newspapers underrate the
intelligence of other readers. With
regard to the christening of the baby
daughter of Lord and Lady Decies,
born Gould, we make no suggestion of
the kind. We know, and everybody
else knows, why this christening
pleases him or her and us. The prop
er names do the trick. They are
very hattering. Lord Greville, the
Marchioness of Waterford, Lord de la
gala lover of rank could live for a
week on names like these. Add few
simpler names, like Mrs. Edward
Lumb, or Mrs. James Henry Smith.
of blood and treasure, mixture that
cannot bite the patriotic tongue. And
yet after all, these efforts are but
vain strivings after the real thing. We
shall not be happy-and by 1--WE" is
meant all of us who like to read such
things as kilograms about the Decies
Christening-until we have invented a
legendary person, a man who repre-
sents in himself the union of blood
and treasure. an American in whose
veins flows the blood of old kings, a
being equally at home when selling
things in the midst Of the hideOus
chaos of Illinois and when seated at
the most august of London dinner
tables. BY and by we shall have him.
BY his very name he will cause his
light to shine. He will be called

KANSAS COMAENT
FOR GREATER sAFETv

Some years ago the state legisla-
ture passed hedge and weed law
1t was important at the time il was
passed and with the advent of the
motor car. it Is now even more inn
portant that the hedges should be
kept trimmed especially at corners
where collisions would be likely. This
was demonstrated in the accident
which took place near Minneapolis this
week. Two cars were badly damaged,
the occupants were injured and escap-
ed death narrowly and the entire
blame for the accident can be placed
on the failure to have the hedges
trimmed back sufficient distance from
the road intersection. Repetition of ac-
cidents of this sort may be avoided by
Keeping the hedges trimmed. Safety
