the classical form of Chinese, UNDER
stood by the educated only. On the
other hand the Bible is translated into
the classical form and many simpler
forms that the common people can
study for themselves.
The printing of Bibles for China has
been continuous during one hundred
years, Morrison's New Testament in
the classical form having been printed
in 1914. During a generation the i'm
provement of the classical version was
the objective of many missionary lin
gusts, the Bible societies printing the
fruit of this labor in many editions.
In 1872 a committee, of which DR..
Schereschewski was a member, pre-
pared for the Bible societies a transla-
DARN. This was the first serious at
tempt to give the Bible to Chinese
who could read the classical language
but indifferently. The mandarin is
the court dialect, understood by some
three -fourths of the population of
China. Later DR.. Schereschewski
translated into mandarin for the
American Bible Society. and at its ex-
pense, the whole Old Testament. This
was issued in 1874, and for forty years
has been the version in most common
use in China.
Since 1890 two committees, chosen
by missionaries in general conference
have been engaged, with the CO.
operation of the Bible societies, in uni
flying the various versions, one COM
mittee working upon the classical or
wenli and the other upon the man
DARN version. In 1912 a new Bible
was issued. which brought together
the union" mandarin New Testament
with the Schereschewski version of
the Old. This will be the Bible most
used in China until the mandarin COM
mittee completes its work about three
years from now. The union" classi-
other committee about the same time.
These different versions are printed
by the British and Foreign. the Amer
ican and the Scottish National Bible
Societies as needed. The expenses of
translation, including the salaries of
such missionaries as give their whole
time to the work. are divided between
the three Bible societies Meanwhile
the Scriptures have been translated
for the Bible societies into number of
local dialects beloved of the common
people of different districts.
This enterprise, in which mission
aries and Bible societies have patient
ly and persistently worked as yoke
fellows during so many years, has a
greatness, not to say grandeur, which
needs no emphasis. Should a test come
where the Chinese people will have
to choose between the wise saws of
Confucius, which comparatively few
can read for themselves, and the Bible,
which speaks clearly to the humblest,
there is no doubt how those will de-
eide who have the Bible.
The declaration of the new govern
ment in favor of Confucianism is ap-
parently dying attempt of the old
order to save something from the
wreck of China as it used to be.

BRUMBAUGH AND LOCAL OPTION

HR. MARTIN G. BRUMBAUGH,
whose announcement of his
- candidacy for the Republican
nomination for governor has
been received with great satisfaction
among men of all parties in every Sec
ton of the State, is in favor of the
local option proposition. On this sub
ject he says:
The problem of the liquor traffic
is a vital one facing the people and
Legislature to-day. In harmony
with many thoughtful persons l be-
leve that local option is practi-
cal solution
the eve of the last session of the Legis-
lature, the Telegraph made this editor
ial statement:
Local option, as a broad principle,
Is an inherent right to the voters
the right to govern their own
what they deem the requirements
of public morals and good order. 1t
is not prohibition, but 1t is the ac-
acknowledgement by the State of the
adopt prohibition IL it sees fit to do
so.
Whether or not prohibition is ef-
teetiVe. or whether, town is better
into the question at all. The point
at issue Is whether the State shall
continue to say that the town can
not be dry" If 1t wishes to be-
Such position is as untenable as
though the Federal Government
were to announce that If the Ameri-
can electorate were to choose a
Prohibition President and send
Prohibition majority to Congress.
the party would not be permitted TO
attempt to carry out it's platform,
Local option is not a matter for
partisan allgnmentS. 1t is simply
ana solely case of popular priyi-
lege.
This editorial was the subject of an
attack by a Philadelphia publication
manifestly under the direction Of the
liquor interests, in which It was con-
tended that Sin the State Of PennsvI-
vania we sincerely believe that six to
one of the people are opposed to any
local option law 1t was further held
that local option is not a broad
proposition but a narrow political
move by which the Anti-Saloon League
plays politics and smart practice In
order to develop. foster and enact pro.
hibition laws" This position would
hardly be taken under present con.
| ditions.

1t is only the simpler things that she

worn with lace veil Is a smart af-

The remaining two hats are quite
without the province Of the home mil
liner. One is a plateau OF straw which
must be wired TO shape and mounted
on bandeau or cap TO give the prop
er poise. II Is trimmed with wide blue
ribbon and a full wreath of heather.
A charming black hat is shown In
the tAird picture. II suggests the
Rembrandt hats which have been so
popular. The small, fiat shape OF black
hemp Is bordered with lace made OF
horsehair and wired with tiny, almost
invisible wires. There is a broad
spray OF wheat at the left side OF the
low crown and a sash OF moire
ribbon tied in "a full bow.
The wide bandeau Is trimmed with
a cluster Of six pink roses.

around the center arc lamp and thus
produce a succession of flashes. AT

a difficult matter to rotate such a

other cases the problem is solved by
using a ring shaped float under the

Hats In this shape, with moderately

luoky ventures Of the hat manufac-
turers that take the feminine world by

Ribbons with small flowers or rib
