YUAN sHI KAI

China's Strong Man" has
come to his own. In the election
of Yuan Shi Kai as president OF
the great Eastern Republic, choice
has been made of the only man who
is capable of bringing the nation
through the struggle that has yet
to be faced before the republic is
firmly established. His wide ex-
perience in military affairs and as
administrator, cabinet officer, and
premier gives assurance of a skill
and equipment equal to any emer-
gency, and his government will
command respect and confidence
both at home and abroad. Under
his leadership, and with internal
peace restored, the republic will
have clear way open for those
reforms that are needed to give it
its proper place of power and in
fiuence among the nations. 1t has
been said that China is today a
republic only in name, and that
Yuan is an autocrat at heart, with
strong monarchial leanings; but ii
is only his personal enemies who
thus prejudice his administration
Those who have the best interests
of China at heart will await the
event and give loyal aid in bring
ing about national peace ant

one accepted the offer. All the
others left Austin.
1t was promptly realized, how
ever, that this victory could be
preserved only by constant vigi-
lance against reaction. To fortily
Austin in this particular the minis
tiers have secured the cooperation
of influential laymen in the organi-
cation of the Austin ADti-Vice

a membership ofhundreds, rapidly
increasing. The president is DR..
W. T. Mathcr, professor in the
state university and an elder in the
First Presbyterian church, whose
pastor, Or. Arthur F. Bishop, has
been an outstanding leader in the
whole campaign.
All this development of senti'
ment in Austin has attracted
attention in other cities of Texas
and in Dallas the county attorney
has publicly expressed his deter
mination to clean up that city,

A NATIONS TRIUMPH

Those able men who planned,
the engineers who executed, the
skilled and efficient workmen who
assisted, and the laborers Who
toiled in completing the Panama
Canal, are to-day the topic of an
admiring world, and their triumph
is on all lips, 1t is a triumph in
which the whole American nation
has share and of which it well
may be proud. Obstacles that
seemed insurmountable have been
overcome; barriers that batfled
earlier attempts have been re-
moved; swamps and morasses have
been transformed into living
streams and pellucid lakes, and the
wedding of the two great oceans is
an accomplished fact, lacking only
the official announcement. If
nature proves kind, the Panama
Canal will stand as one of the
greatest marvels of triumphant
human ingenuity, Rocked by
earthquake, yet unframed and in
domitable, it is monument to
mans intrepidity and splendid
craftsmanship. To the little group
who were at the head of the great
enterprise I'VE owe a debt which
will be hard to pay. Other nations
honor their heroes with decorations
and titles. We can only eDshrine
ours in grateful remembrance, but
the fame of Cocktails and Gorgaf
and their comrades will assuredly
have a permanent place in oul
nations history. Christian Herald

ANTI-VICE MOVEMENT
SPLENDIDLY SUCCESSFUL

The ministers in the churches of
Austin, Texas, have achieved a
great moral victory over CONNER
cialized vice in their city, which is
having the effect of a moral revi-
val throughout the great city of
which Austin is the capital. When
apeculiarly fragrant crime was COM
mitted in Austin, the ministers
called a mass meeting of protest.
There Mayor Woodbridge appeared
and boldly challenged the meeting
to assist in producing such a state
of public sentiment as would sus-
tain an executive order closing the
houses of vice in the city. The
united Protestant pastors accepted
the challenge, and planned pub
licity campaign of newspaper
advertising quite on the lines made
familiar by the example at Attain
ia.
The circulation of these appeals
to public sentiment was sufficient
when backed fby much preaching
on the subject and two more union
mass meetings of the churches, to
afford the mayor the support he
needed for action. Sustained by a
bare majority of the council, an
order went forth closing the vice
resorts of the town at the first o
October. The ministers had al
ready offered to give proper car,
and sustenance to any of the womeI
involved who desired to leave tn,

The renewed interest in the dairy
industry in Iowa is not only reflected
in the larger output of dairy prod.
ucts the past few years but also in
the quality of the dairy cattle Our
dairy experts have been preaching the
gospel Of better individual animals,
pointing out it is much better to, have
a few good cows than number OF
poor ones. The most striking evil
dence of the development of the dairy
industry is seen in both the exhibits
of dairy cattle and dairy products a,
the Iowa State Fair. @r
Magnificent dairy animals-some of
them valued as high as from $4,000
to $4,000 are shown at the Iowa
State Fair Many farmers have found
that the dairy business enables them
to make more money on the high
priced land than does other branches
of agriculture. The Iowa State Fair
affords them an unusual opportunity
to study the dairy industry.
