and that it would have a tendency
to cement the county more closely
together-that it would in a large
measure do away with the growing
agitation of the question of dividing
the county. After these and other
facts were presented no opposition
was voiced to the bill, and | for one
understood the sentiment of the
delegation to be in favor of it.
We then all went to dinner at the
Arlington Hotel as guests of Mr.

China's Claim to Recognition

The bankers in the six-power group
have agreed to loan China $100,000,-
900, as follows: America, $25,000,-
900; England and France, 10000, 900
each; Germany, $4,000, 900; Russia
and Japan, $1O,000,000 each. China
accepts the loan on the terms named
by the powers. Six nations practically
underwrite the new loan. This may
well be used to pay the troops and to
put the government on sound foot
ing.
Nowhere in the eighteen provinces
is any objection to the republic now
heard. All accept it as final and en-
during, and there is no longer any rea-
son why recognition of it should be
longer withheld by this country. We
recognized the French republic in
1870, four days after it had been pro-
claimed by Gambetta. Recognition of
Brazil was promptly sent. There was
no waiting in either case until a con-
stitution had been framed.
A recognition of China by this
country would prove helpful and now
that China has secured big loan it
should not be delayed much longer.
The Manchus said that republic was
the sort of government the people evil
IDENTIFY wanted, and they proceeded to
negotiate terms of retirement. These
were agreed upon, and peace and order
prevail throughout the vast country.
1t is not a people that bankers after
revolutions. 1t is, a people above all
else peace,

Exnensixe Living

During the past two or three years a
great zeal has been said about the high
cost of living, but while many comm obi
ties are much higher than they used to
be. the main trouble with most of Us is
that our wants are more numerous tkan
formerly" said family man.
"Ten years ago lived very well on about
$1,000 a year My family is not much
larger now than 1t was then, but now it
costs me nearly $4,000 a year to live and
my family does not make much show
either. But luxuries have multiplied.
There are many items of expense that
have come along gradually and it would
seem almost impossible to get back on a
5000 a year basis.
'"The other day | heard a man of q or
fsc years of age say that he expected to be
married a few years hence. He has ac-
cumulatcd something, but his income was
not sufficiently large, he said, to support
a family think he told me that he re-
ceived a salary of $500. Well. any young
man who has an income as large as 5000
ought to get married. 1t is foolishness for
him to say that he cannot afford it. The
trouble is we have become too self indul-
gent, too wastsful.'
