IN VERY PRIMITIVE Annoy
Finest Rice in China Grown in Prov
lnce Where Customs Never
Change-pearth of Men.

London.-The inhabitants of Annoy
plant and reap their crops as they
have done for centuries, and manu-
facture products in the same way.
The results are not bad, however, for
about 80 miles from Annoy the finest
rice in China is grown. Here also is
the soil particularly adapted to the
Chinese lily.
Almost all of the cultivation of the
soil is done by hand. The rice plants
are transplanted by hand and the
fields frequently weeded in the same
way. If q farmer has some surplus
plants he throws them in an unused
corner near a we'll and those who lack
enough for their planting may have
them for the asking.
Such implements as are in use are
extremely crude. The native plow
does little more than scratch the sur
face, and tho simple and inexpensive
harrow is usually drawn by an Indian
cow or bullock or sometimes by the
water buffalo. Horses and donkeys are
rarely used.
The emigration from this district
has been very heavy. and the male
population Of whole villages is large
ly limited to old men and boys. Wo-
men are to be found whose husbands
left for the South soon after marriage
and havo hardly been heard of since.
Occasionally they return after years
of absence and purchase or adopt a
son for their Chinese wife, SO that
their ancestors may be revered and
they themselves have some one to

ITS WORK WELL DONE
Republican National Committee
to Be CompIimented.
Amicable Understanding Reached
Means Much for the Future
Democratic Administration Al
ready Has Lost Confidence.

There will be no special national
convention of the Republican party
aeXt spring.
Southern representation will be re-
stricted in the regular national conven-
ton of 1916, subject to ratification by
two-thirds of the states which elected
Taft electors in 1908.
All state primary laws will be rec
ognized and all delegates who had GER
tificates from state canvassing boards
will be put upon the temporary roll
of the 1916 convention.
Such are the main results of the
meeting of the Republican national
committee in Washington.
There was no cut and dried pro-
gram. Everything was thrashed out,
beginning with the question Of the
power of the national committee to
make the proposed changes as against
the proposition to call a special con-
vention. The convention plan lost by
a vote of 35 states to Ia, and then the
resolution to make the change by ac-
tion of the committee was carried by
a viva voce vote that was practically
unanimous.
AS an example of the thoroughness
of the thrashing-out process 1t may
be mentioned that Senator Borah Of
Idaho fought the convention plan and
former Governor Hadley of Missouri
argued in it's favor. Both are eonsid-
cred in some quarters to be presiden-
tial possibilities. Senator Cummins of
Iowa, also a presidential hopeful. was
admitted to the conference and spoke
for the convention. Representative
Woods of Iowa, chairman of the Re-
publican congressional committee, was
also invited to take part in the ma
tional committees meeting.
1t seems certain that the next Re-
publican platform is now being made
by Democratic administration which
has already lost public confidence,
which has already depressed business
and which has already furnished proof
of the infinite capacity of the Demo-
cratic party for making mistakes.
Senator Smoot of Utah evoked ap-
plause when he said that when the
question was asked as to what was
the matter with smokeless chimneys
on every hand the answer should be
placarded on the closed factory doors:
"Wilson-that's all"
Anyway, be these things as they
may, the national Republican commit
tee is evidently able to work in har-
mony and has apparently decided i'm
portant questions without ructions of
any kind. This Is certainly a signif-
cant condition OF affairs and would
seem largely to justify the optimistic
prophecies of reunited ranks and VIC
tories in 1914 and 1916 by the leaders
in attendance.

It,"
Another explanation Is that the
great London dailies, with two or three
notable exceptions, are Conservative
in politics. The majority of the Con-
servative party are opposed to the ex-
tension Of the parliamentary franchise
to women. The British newspapers are
organs of comment and opinion on
their news pages as we'll as in their
editorial columns, and publish only or
chiefly those things which help or
which they think will help thier par
ticular party. BY ignoring womans
suffrage they thought they promoted
the interests Of the Conservative pol
icy. The Liberal journals, In the in
terest Of the Liberal government
which, divided in sentiment on the
subject, ignores or, at least, postpones
its consideration, did the same. The
Hyde Park demonstration, in which at
least 100000 women took part, with
important addresses from some of
England's most distinguished women,
received scant half column in the
London newspapers the next morning,
or, rather, taking place Saturday and
there being no Sunday newspapers, it
received the scant half-column the Sec
ond morning following. The British

journals in Great Britain may be thus
escribed-following their usual plan
Of giving large space only to what they
indorse-ignored the woman's suffrage

Turned From Prosperlty,s Path.

1t matters not in what direction
one turns, the same mournful SYM
bols of letting up of prosperity are
observable. Every true American
could wish that the Democrats might
have the success they have claimed
for their policies, and the reaction
might be avoided. Nothing could be
more deplorable than the setting
down of the gloom of hard times upon
an era that has been redolent with
prosperity despite the manifest de-
lects that have characterized these
times.

its promised miracle on the cost of

possible, we are afraid it has not done

stances which they imagine likely to
be Injurious to suffrage, they either
say nothing about these facts which
indicate its growing force and volume
or else record them in such a manner
that they escape the observation of

stant communication with their com.

also have their own papers, are kept

Woman's Suffrage Ignored by Press.
An odd feature Of it all is that
while the woman's suffrage movement
has been advancing in Great Britain
in the last ten years, not by painful
inches but by rapid furlongs, the Brit
ish press. in the main, has largely ig-
nored 1t. Only when 1t got into the

purposeful lawlessness of the militant

The Fight In Parliament.
The opposition of Mr. Asquith, the
Liberal prime minister. despite ten
tative promise given before he went
into office, has prevented practical con-
sideration of any woman's suffrage
bill In the house of comons which in
cludes probably majority supporting
the measure. Among those who favor
woman's suffrage are Sir Edward
Grey, David Lloyd George, Ramsay
Mcdonald, the Labor leader, Lord Hal.
dane. Arthur Balfour, Philip Snowden
and William Redmond. The opposition
numbers such distinguished statesmen
as Mr.. Asquith. Austen Chamberlain,
Winston Churchill and F. q. Smith.
The result of the next general election
In 1914 will, in part. turn upon the
question. because womans suffrage
societies are entering the campaign

didate for parliament to favor an ade-
auate suffrage bill.
