were experiencing much trouble with
the Transvaal Beers through the in
cursions of the latter to their terri
tory. A British commission was ap-
pointed to settle the differences, and
decided in favor of the Zulus. In
spite of this the high commissioner,
Sir Bartle Frere, had decided upon re-
modelling the Zulu nation. The in
vasion of Zululand took place in 1879.
The war was ended by the capture
of the king in August, but not be-
fore the British had sustained serious
losses. At the very commencement
of the struggle, in a battle at Isand-
lana, the Zulus inflicted severe de-
feat on the British, practically ami
hilating the Twenty-fourth Infantry
regiment. The same day is memor-
able for the heroic stand made by
Lieutenants Chard and Bromhead,
with a few members of the Twenty
fourth, at Rorke's drift, a point on
the Tugela river. This incident Of
the war was one of the most glorious
in British military annals, for the lit
tie band kept thousands of Zulus at
bay for hours before assistance ar
rived. On July the Zulus were
completely defeated at Ulindi, and
the following month Cetshwayo was
captured. He was deposed, but SUBJ
sequently restored to power, dying in
1884. Dinizulu, his son, was the next
source Of trouble with whom the Brit
ish had to contend. Heading a large
party of his tribe, and aided by the
Beers, he maintained a consistently
hostile role between 1884 and 1886,
the Beers in the latter year agreeing
to evacuate Zululand and renounce
recognition of his protectorate. But
again in 1888 Dinizulu attempted an
insurrection, only to be taken prisoner
and exiled to St. Helena. He was sub
sequently sent back to his country,
but his rebellious instincts again
gained the upper hand, and once more
he became British prisoner. When
South Africa formed union parlia-
ment he became pensioner of the
British crown, and was enjoying his
indemnity at the time of his death.
People who have come in contact with
him describe him as having been a
picturesque character, of considerable
ability and dogged determination.

More than Billion
For Government

Washington, Dec. 1T will cost a
billion, a hundred and eight million
and a few odd thousand to run the
government in 1915, according to de-
pertmental estimates submitted to
congress by Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo today. AS a result of the
application of Democratic economy
and the regimes pruning knife, the
estimates call for only thirty-four
million more than for 1914 despite
vastly increased business.
Instead Of the usual advance in pen
sions there will be a cut of eleven
millions. The estimate is $780, $780,
900.
The department of labor sought $4,-
763,490, more than a million increase.
There are two battleships and eight
torpedo boat destroyers on the naval
program, instead of one battleship
this year. Secretary Daniels asks for
$7,800,000 to start this.

FOREIGN MISSIONARIES IN
CHINA ARE AROUSED

Peking, Nov. ga league for the
purpose Of opposing the adoption Of
Confucianism as the state religion of
China was organized here at meet
ing held by the Young Mems Chris
tian Association.
Those present included representa-
tives of Mohammedanism, Taoism,
Buddhism, Roman Catholicism and
Professionalism.
The constitution adopted by the
parliament made no provision for any
state religion, but presidential man.
date promulgated evidently antici-
pates the selection of Confucianism,
the adherents of which have been la
boring sedulously for some time with
the president. The Confucian revival
movement has been led by DR.. Chen
Huan-Chang, a doctor of philosophy
of the University of Columbia and a
member of the Hanlin academy of
China. He expressed conviction that
if China is to be saved from political
ruin and moral anarchy, reverence for
his country's sages must be restored.
President Yuan Shih Kai, whose
mandates are now regarded as equiv
alent to the imperial edicts of the
former era, describes the sayings of
Confucius as doctrine of I'M
equaled wisdom, which is recognized
as such by many foreigners as well
as Chinese, deep as the ocean, suffi-
cient although the ages change, per-
manent as the sun and the moon that
cross the heavens and as the rivers
that flow on the EARTH"
The presidential mandate is re-
garded with great disappointment by
the Christian missionaries in China.
The American charge d'affaires in
Peking reported to the state depart
ment in October last that move
ment to restore Confucianism was on.

GREATEST IMPROVEMENTS
FOUND ON THE FARM

Write up the improvements, the edi-
tor said. improvements which mean
betterment, that is what makes the
world better. Now a home, a barn,
land fresnoed level, these are i'm
prevements, but there are other i'm
provements. This latter idea was
happily illustrated to the reporter
when stopping at place on Ell Centre
R. F. D. No. 1.
A lonely grove of shade trees, a
large wide porched fly screened dwell
ing, pleasant front yard. Whoa, and
the reporter stopped. Now, these are
improvements, sure. He went to the
door and fine young matron came
smiling. No dog sitting at this place.
When asked to subscribe for the I'm
perial Valley Press she promptly said
she took it, as promptly said she want
ed to renew and with equal promptness
brought out the money. Charmed by
surroundings so pleasant and stopping
to play moment with the lovely little
baby girl toddling about, the reporter
chatted a moment with the young
mother who seemed so bright, fresh
we'll formed as to be but girl. She
spoke of how much taxes were, (Oh,
happy ones to have property on which
to pay taXes) and incidentally of her
other children, so young and other
children, the reporter mused, and she
casually remarked that she had four
children in school. Now, Mr.. Editor,
here are improvements, betterments.
How splendidly better is the world
for woman so fresh, so eager, so
capably hopeful who has given to the
world five replicas of herself.
1t is estimated that each adult is
worth to the nation $4,000. And in
stead of measly barn, house, a
fence, this lovely matron has made the
state, the nation, eternity itself, rich
er and better, and amid what well
nigh perfect surroundings. The tonic
air, the soft climate, the lovely scenery
and class of people who are fitted to
and will inherit the earth and at that

tasks of life that are worth while are
looking forward to their best work,
to the keen enjoyment which they find
in accomplishment of large purposes.
Nobody now envies him because of
the pleasures that he bought with his
millions. There is no youth in all this
country who would accept as many
millions as were left him, or many
more, on condition that at 81 he must
die.
If this young man had made it the
aim of his life to do good with the
wealth that he inherited, he would
have continued to have it during many
years. But he made "speed is life" his
MOTTO, and lived accordingly, and so
soon reached the end without having
accomplished anything more than
hat he got the reputation of being
a spender.
Better far it would have been for
him if he had been compelled to work
FOR his living. Then what was in him
of manhood would have had oppor-
tunity for development. AS it was,
wealth crushed it out
And who will doubt that in his last
moments he would gladly have given
all his money for the health and
strength of one who lived the sane,
wholesome life ALBANY Journal.

Wealth Not All

Surely there were many young men
who envied Charles G. Gates, or at
least wished that they could have but
few of the millions which he had

That was when the young million
aire was enjoying life, in his way,
which was the way where the pace
is swift and where money is spent
lavishly and foolishly because such
spending gives false sense of pleas

Then suddenly he died, at an age

Estimate of Population

Los Angeles Tribune: City Auditor
Meyers, preparing an estimate of tn,
prospective population of Los An
geles on January /, 1914, set the tota
at $4,000. The Tribune is not in
clined to quarrel with the accuracy o1
The estimate, amazing as the figures
may be to those who contrast then
with the total accredited Los Angeles
oy the census taken in April, 1910
The estimate was prepared in re-
sponse to a request from the editors
Of the New York World almanac anc
represents the result of careful calcu-
lation based on conservatively as,
sembled data.
The census of 1910 gave Los Ange,
les a little less than 100000. This es-
innate therefore represents an in
crease of more than 100000 in less
than four years. Doubtless the total
will be discredited by many excellent
authorities, who will be moved by the
very best intentions that Los Angeles
should have gained in less than foul
years approximately as much as ii
gained during the whole of the decade
predicting 1910.
In order to ease that amazement
and abate such incredulity, The Tri-
bune calls attention to but one of the
manw factors that may be accepted
as honest indices of the city's growth
During this whole period since the
taking of the census, Los Angeles has
built mile of new homes for every
six days, the computations allowing a
house to every fifty lineal feet. If the
critics of the auditors estimate will
permit that fact to penetrate THEN
consciousness, they will find less diff
ficulty in reconciling themselves tc
the acceptance of the population fig,
ures he presents.

Criminal Procedure and Justice

Law Notes: The attacks on the sys-
tenn of criminal procedure as admins
tered by American courts are grow
ing more numerous, and are being
made by men more eminent in the
profession than ever before. Several
addresses delivered before the late
meeting of the American Bar Associa-
tion made the point that the law and
the courts are too lenient with one
accused of crime. In connection with
some of the examples given by Judge
Carter, illustrative of the extreme
technicality Of the courts in passing
upon the sufficiency of indictments, it
may not be amiss to notice the de-
cision of the supreme court OF In
diana in Woodsmall versus State, 102
N. E. 1870. In that case the court
held that an indictment for false pre-
lenses alleging that the accused
falsely pretended" and "falsely and
fraudulently represented" did not suf
ficiently allege the falsity of the pre-
tense, for, said the court, "while it
is recited in the averment of the pre-
tense that defendants falsely pre-
tended, ETC., the use of the word
falsely in such connection was not
intended by the pleader as an aver
ment to negative alleged pretense and
cannot be so construed here without
doing violence to well recognized rules
of criminal pleading" and a judgment
of conviction was reversed solely on
this ground. Now, it is difficult to un-
derstand how the statement that A
falsely pretended to have dollar can
be taken to mean otherwise than that
he pretended to have a dollar, and
that his pretense was false, else why
use the word "falsely?" And the
greater surprise may be found in the
fact that the authorities support the
holding of the Indiana court. The
learned editor of the American Law
Review in a recent series of discus
sions of the judicial system of France
finds much to commend in it's SIM
plicity and capabilities for working
out justice, and in recent interview
given out by him in Paris he reiterates
his opinion. Hon. Moorfeld Story, in
a recent address, commends the
French mode of administering justice,
and aptly remarks that that system
gives entire satisfaction in France. 1t
is all too evident that rules of Grim
inal pleading and procedure founded
on precedents growing out of the un-
satisfactory early common law prac-
tice are not fitted to present condi-
tions.
