STATE RELIGION
CHINESE TOPIC
Question Arises During Prep
aration of Constitution for
the Republic.
PEKING. October 3. 1913.

PEKING, October 3. 1913.
In tive process OF drafting a permanent
constitution for the Chinese republic the
question as to whether there is to be
recognized state religion looms large at
present in the discussions at Picking.
A decided Confucian revival has been in
progress in recent months, and this has
found it's expression in the organization
of the Confucian Association. which in
cludes many distinguished scholars OF
the republic. One of the central figures
of tie movement is DR.. Chen Huanchang.
author Of the book, '"The Economical
Principles of Confucius and His School.
who has received the highest literary hon
ors in China, and also the degree OF
doctor OF philosophy from Columbia Uni
versity, New York.
With other Chinese literati. he has been
carrying on a most energetic campaign
to influence the members of parliament
to vote in favor of inserting In the con-
stitutiOn some such statement as fol-
lows: "Confucianism shall become the
state religion. while religious liberty shall
still be accorded to the eople OF China.
petition to this effect has been pre-
sented to the assembly. Following west
ern methods of lobbying. DIR. Chen has
interviewed practically all members of
parliament In the support of this move
ment.
Religious Freedom Provided For.
Before the establishment Of the repub-
lie, prejudice against Christianity was
great but in the provisional constitution
freedom Of religion was provided for, and
Christians as well as Mohammedans, Bud
dhists and Taoists have had before the
state at least presumptive equality with
Confucianists. President Yuan Shih-kai
said in a speech before the national as
sembly April %. 1872: I'm view of the
religious liberty of the people. all re-
ligions will be regarded as being on the
same footing. and there will be no dis
elimination against any particular one.
There should he mutual resi- ect and avoid
ance Of mutual distrust among the people,
Irrespective OF whether they practice any
particular religion or not, or whatever
faith they embrace, so that they may all
share In the enjoyment Of public peace
and happiness.
Christians Make Protest.
Naturally enough the Christians of the
republic, now numbering almost mil ion
including all branches. are not standing
idly by watching without protest the
movement to establish Confucianism as
the state religion. A committee of seven
has been selected and counter move
ment is under way. The duty of the
committee is that of informing Christians
throughout the country concerning the
various activities of the Confucian prop
uganda and they are also seeing to 1t
thnt counter petition is presented to
the assembly. calling for unconditional
religious liberty and rejecting the pro-
posal to have state religion for the re-
public. Moreover. agitation AGAINST Con-
fucianism or any other religion becom-

under way in the Chinese press.

NO POETRY FOR THIS EDITOR

(Koshkonong (Mo.) Leader.)
A contributor this week sends us an
original poem, and in accordance
with rule to which the editor OF
the Leader has adhered for some 25
years, we have to decline to publish
it. In order that theirs may be SPAR
ed possible labor and expense we
submit our reasons for this.
The local paper occupies a very
different position toward its patrons
from that of the Journal or wider al
more general circulation, large'
portion of its readers being personal
acquaintance of the editor. The in
PRODUCTION of this personal equation
makes it harder to make flesh OF
one and fowl of the other" without
causing hard feelings toward both the
paper and it's editor. So his safest
way is to treat all as nearly alike as
possible.
Occasionally a really good poem is
contributed to a local paper. but 9s
out of a 100 of them range through
bad, worse and rotten. No one except
the author and occasionally friend
can see any good in them. To every
body else they are comic, no matter
how serious the theme.

A Wonderful Tonic
That Aids Digestion

Thousands are unable to digest GER
is net the fault of the food, nor the
stomac''. 1t is probable that the
stomach has been abused. Many re-
sort to re1igested foods and various
kinds of medicines to get relief from
dyspepsia, indigestion and heartburn,
but without permanent benefit.
If your stomach was IN perfect con-
dition, you would not need medicine
to digest the foods you eat. Jayne's
Tonic Vermifuge is a stomach regula-
tor. 1t gets the stomach in such a
condition that it will digest food
without other assistance. 1t over
comes the acidity and stimulates the
coating of the stomach and intestines
so that they will properly absorb and
assimilate the nutriment from the
food eaten. Sufferers from dyspep-
sia and indigestion will find perma-
nent relief in a short time after be-
ginning the use of the tonic. For
children the addition of little sugar
will make it more palatable.
Many forms of supposed indigestion
are the result of intestinal parasites
for which Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge
Is unsurpassed. Insist upon Jayne's;
accept no other. Millions have prais-
ed it for more than eighty years. Sold
by druggists everywhere. DR.. D.

UGH! HOW CHILDREN
HATE CASTOR OIL
To Clean the Little Ones Stomach,

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the physic that mother in
sisted on-castor oil calomel, cathar-
tics. How you hated them, how you
fought against taking them.
With our children it's different.
The day of harsh physic is over. We
don't force the liver and 80 feet of
bowels now; we coax them. We
have no dreaded after effects. Moth
ers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is we'll
founded Their little stomachs and
tender bowels are injured by them.
If your child is fretful, peevish, half
sick, stomach sour. breath feverish
and its little system full of cold; has
diarrhoea, sore throat, stomach-ache; /;
doesn't eat or rest well-remember-
look at the tongue, if coted give a
teaspoonful of Syrup of Figs then
don't worry, because you surely will
have we'll, smiling child in a few
hours.
Syrup of Figs being composed en-
tirely of luscious figs, senna and aro-
matics simply cannot be harmful. 1t
sweetens the stomach, makes the liv-
er active and thoroughly cleanses the
little ones waste-clogged bowels. In
a few hours all sour bile, undigested
fermenting food and constipated waste
matter moves gently on and out OF
the system without gripping or nau-

age law and in a recent address be-
fore the West End Womans Club of
Chicago the judge upheld the plan of
the commission. The amendment
asked by the commission provides that
10 days must elapse between the ap-
plication for a marriage license and its
issuance and the performance of the
ceremony. Suitable publicity is like
wise made an essential under the
change asked for.
Commenting upon Judge Kava-
naugh's views the Inter Ocean had the
following;
Such a requirement ought to help
some. 1t ought to stop at least the
marriage which is resolved upon as the
result of drinking bout and the
utterly frivolous or Joke" marriage.
And if the publicity required be real
it should enable the mature friends
of very youthful couples to intervene
with suitable distractions to the pro-
gress of calf love-"
OF course, it does not go nearly far
enough. In the light of the positive
affirmations of modern medical sci
ence, no man or woman ought to be
permitted to marry unless certainly
free from well-known diseases, To
permit people thus afflicted to marry
is positive crime against society ant
the unborn.
But this delay and publicity pro-
vision is probably as far as Legislation
can safely go in the present state o.
public education on the subject. 1t i:
step in the right direction, from
which, when once taken, other steps
may proceed. And it begins the pro
cess of reform at the right end.
For there is not the slightest doub
that the main and root cause and or
igin of the scandal and evil of easy
and frequent divorce is to be found il
the hasty. secret, improvident, frivo'
lous and unfit marriage.
