at a somewhat Bohemian supper party.
In. the gathering are brokers, captains
of finance, a newspaper woman, an ad-
ventures. an actress, and several youns
men of more or less unstable financial
affiliations. The hostess having dis
covered the theft locks the door. turns
out the lights, and demands that the
ring be put in bowl on the table he
fore she has finished counting 100. At

in the bowl, but when the lights go IN

The only objection is that the book is
inclined to obesity and as the problem
is not solved until the last few chap

to become impatient. The detective Is
not infallible. the characters are inter

CALIFORNIA; LITTLE JOKE.

California stirred up nice little international
muss with its anti-alen land ownership legislation
and got the customary rise out of Japan also, fol-
that matter out of good many other people. When
the affair reached the point of diplomatic representa-
tons it was presumed by nearly everybody outside
the Golden State that California just ndulging
another of its spasrns over the Oriental issue ana
trying to prove that State could make itself bigger
than the National Government
But, as matters turning, it seems that Cali
fornia has the joke on Washington. The Califor-
nians being chided and told that they mustn't indulge
too much magalomania, have retorted by pulling the
ant-aiien land ownership law which Congress itself
passed for the District of Columbia many years ago,
and representing that that law is good enough for
California!
Nobody ever got excited about the District of Co.
lumbia law; Congress passed il, President signed
it. the diplomats paid the least attention to
and if rs still the law. Just how the National Gov
ernment is effectively to protest against California
doing what the National Government has already
done is a question that doesn't readily suggest its
own answer

The newspaper correspondents of Washington

the story of his death. He served the newspaper
profession and the public long and well; he was a
good fellow; change of Administration threatened
his displacement and for loyalty to duty and to his

INDUSTRIAL STRIKE FOR POLITICAL
OBJECTS.

In an industrial country such as Belgium, the
intensive nature of the whole economic fabric makes
the general strike particularly effective weapon.
Perhaps for this the Belgian Socialists are not
influenced by the fact that such movements, as
rule have been unsuccessful, and have begun what
they intend to be ultimately complete cessation of
wage labor if their demand for equal manhood suf-
frage is not granted.
Every male Belgian more than twenty-five years
old VINO is not legally disqualified is allowed to vote
An additional vote, however is given to citizens
more than thirty-fve years of age who married
and have children, and who, in addition pay at leas
ST a wear in house tax and also to citizens who own
real estate valued at S4OO. Two additional votes are
given to professional men and holders of diplomas
from institutions of higher learning In general
way the system puts premium on marriage prop
erty holding and education.
When the Belgian constitution was revised in
1893 in response to tremendous popular demand
for universal suffrage, the expedent of plural voting
was adopted at the same time in order to prevent
too sudden shifting of political power. Instead
of satisfying the demands of the Liberals and So
ciasts, there has been agitation almost ever since
Proportional representation proved to be unsatis-
factory.
The present struggle will serve as demonstra-
ton of the power of the industrial strike for political
purposes, in a country in which it has the best
chances of success.

NO OCCASION FOR EXCITEMENT.

There is no need to worry about the fact that
Great Britain recognizes the Hucrta government
in Mexico while the United States still withholds
recognition. Ii doesn't mean tnat Britain is going
to be dsagreeable about the Monroe doctrine; II
doesn't mean anything at al! worth while
The United States rather jmmied its way into
the six-power loan situation in China The European
governments primarily involved in the fve-power
plan considered their interests there decidedly para
mount to those of the United States but they were
willing to let US in. Then the United States turned
about and blasted its way out again in quite un-
ceremonious fashion. There is no reason to concern
ourselves about extreme refnements in the Mexico
situation, any more than there was in the China
affair England has done she pleased in Mexico,
just as did in China. Ii is good idea on the
whole, that the so-called great powers should not
get too much in the habit of detailed agreement as
TO their treatment of all the minor countries. The
presumption of an overordship of all creation by
little coterie of powers" is dangerous business Rus
