en- a view of the movement to re-
generate the Republican party as the
same appears to Golfers Weekly.
1t is worth reading, as indicating
how the situation looks to those
who believe it impossible to purify
the old party in fact and to purge
it of corruption.
1t is true, as Golfers says, that
Barnes, Penrose, Crane, Smoot,
and a few others of like, stripe ARE
the republican party.
But it is also true that if the
primary system of elections were
generally adopted, and if the basis
of representation in the national
conventions were based upon the
goCng strength of the party in
the various states, the overthrow
of these men would be SO sudden
and complete that it would be mere
ay matter of weeks until they
would be retired to the same obi
WON as have Cannon, Depew, Lori
mer, Foraker, and others I'M the
past. They would be the republic

The hour for his return arrived.
The physician once more visited the

VI TIERS MAKE
DIPLOMATS
DECLARES PACE
New Ambassador to Italy, Author
of Many Stories, Leaves Him
self Out Of Discussion.

YORK HARBOR. Me, July 10
Are authors better qualified to fill
diplomatic posts than others? The
appointment of Thomas Nelson Page
as Ambassador 10 Italy brings this
subject to the fore, coupled with the
appointments made by President
Wilson.
The greatest diplomats America
boasts were men Of letters. Benjamin
Franklin, John Hay, Nathaniel Haw-
thorne, James Russell Lowell, William
Dean Howell furnish a distinguished
list.
Mr.. Page. who is 90, is modesty
personified. He has been reporter,
lawyer, writer. and has succeeded in
all
Mr.. Page asked If he could explain
as an author what special qualitiCa-
tons a man Of letters possesses to
perform the duties Of Ambassador,
consented to speak leaving his own
case out of the discussion Said he:
"A man of letters is better fitted to
do anything better than anyone else.
His work has brOadened his horizon /:
If it hadn't we might as well do away
with letters.
Must Know Problems.
1.-THE author must necessarily be
Conversant with the economic and
governmental problems Of the day.
''I think the greatest good authors
in general have alone Is to interpret
| the spirit of the section about which
| they write. There can be no doubt
| there is a better feeling now between
the North and the South than there
/ was before the Spanish American
war. This, 1 believe, is because of
writer's.
Every part Of the world is being
more properly set before another par,
| by the authors.
! The President has had a thorough
| training. Besides the college educa-
| ton. he has had associations with the
| North and the South and he Is con-
/ versant with the economic and gov
| ernmental problems He is a man OF
strong character and has been de-
servedly selected by the people tC
hold their most important office.
Il met Walter Page prior TO his de-
parture for his London post and gave
| him a dinner His whole heart was
| set upon the desire to make good "
Qualifications of Diplomat.
what is your idea Of the quallfica-
tons a good diplomat pOssesses?' he
| was asked.
| Devotion to his duty is perhaps the
| first and most important" he replied
| Then comes devotion to your coun-
| try, application to your duty and a
| desire to bring your country and the
country to which you have been sent
| closer together.
"Of course, since the cable came
| into use foreign posts are brought
| closer to the State Department at
Washington, and it must be a great
| comfort to an Ambassador to feel that
! at any time he may seek aid from
| Washington.
| 81 believe Charles Francis Adams
was the last foreign ambassador to
| be thrown upon his own resources
| and that was because the cable was
| cut
Rome is indeed a charming post
believe II is the most romantic city
| in the world. l am sure l shall like
it."

YANKEE RILLS
Wife and Children of Chinese
Minister Sail Derssed in Latest
American Fashions.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1s.-After
more than three years in Washing
ton with her husband, Minister
Chang, Nine. Chang is returning to
the Orient. She is accompanied by
! two daughters, a son. Henry K.
Chang; a little daughter-in-law and
a tiny grandchild. During her resi-
dence in America Nine Chang has
changed her ideas about many things,
, and about others she maintains the
old Chinese beliefs.
The two young daughters. Miss
Alice and Miss Lille Chang, have
been attending school in Washington
for two years, and with the progress
OF their education have abandoned
their picturesque nature clothes for
American garb.
Whether they will adopt the clothes
| OF their native country on their re-
| turn remains to be seen. Miss Alice
| Chang, who spoke for the party at the
| St Francis before they sailed on the
ManChuria, said:
1T all depends on what is in fash
ion in China.
Favor American Fashions.
IT we find American clothes fash
| tonable out there. we shall wear them
| We adopted them when we entered
| GunniSon Hall, our Washington
| school These are more convenient
| when travelling" she added, pointing
| to pale blue silk crepe costume with
| the latest frills and furbelows. when
we wear. our other clothes, people
| stare so, and sometimes they laugh
They aren't used to them in Washing
| ton"
The question Of recent changes IN
| China is of especial interest to MINI.
| Chang and her daughters
| The idea that women may vote in
! China and that the door of opportu-
nifty is opening for them daily there
! has caused the Chinese women to be
/ thoughtful.

Education Qualification.
Il would make an educational quail
/ ification," said Miss Lille. mot
every woman ought to vote"
Home is the place for women"
/ said Nine. Chang, true TO her coun-
| try's traditions and centuries Of
| training. "A woman ought to do
housekeeping, to stay at home and to
| have children"
Nine. Chang and the daughters are
| opposed to the Western idea Of
woman earning her own living. They
believe she should want to stay at
home to be cared for, even if she has
| to do without somo of the extras
which her own money can secure.
| Women in China probably never
| will reach that stage" said Nine
| Chang. There will be fewer oppor-
! tunities for them to enter profession
] al and business fields"
| College is a goal which is being
aspired to by the two daughters, al
! though they are not sure yet what
particular lines they want to pursue.
| I'VE can go if We want to, you know"
! said Miss Alice. Our people be-
! Iieve in college for girls if they want
! it."

approaches but fat cattle, carrying
weight, will surely sell lower than
last year on the early summer market.
All grades or cattle are much high
or than on this date last year, when
steers, that now sell for $40, were
only worth $7.75. Feeding cattle
were ~ per c*t. lower than now and
stockers were 81 90 $3.50 lower.
Heavy cattle. which are now dull and
on the down grade, were scarce and
active on this date last year Veal
calves were 81 per cwt. lower, but IN
spite OF these facts, all kinds OF cattle
were considered very high. Last year,
the scarcity OF corn had much to do
with the tone Of the cattle market,
especially, In the stocker and feeder
division; this year conditions In con-
hection with this fat-producing cereal
are exactly the opposite, and many
bushels will be marketed In the form
OF grain which usually has been fed.
The strength OF the lamb and sheep
situation il increasing, every day. The
competition for the ownership OF the
small receipts that are finding their
way into the markets OF the country
Is so active that values slide up and
down the scale with lightning-llke
rapidity. Eastern order trade for
lambs was never better, dealers in
that part of the country making the
wires hot with their messages in the
effort TO secure the stock that they
need. The existence OF this pressing
shipping demand, in western markets
Is sending values skyward and pro-
ducing the most active general sheep
trade that was ever known at this
season Of the year,
