VISITORS WELCOME
At STATE LIBRARY
WILL REMAIN OPEN TODAY FOR
BENEFIT OF SIGHT sEERs
IN CITY.

The State library will be open as
usual to visitors today, though the
other departments and Offices Of the
State government will, in accordance
with the proclamation of the governor
OF the State, be closed. The governor 8
proclamation does not apply to the
State library, since IL is recognized by
the governor and authorities of the
State library that many people come
to Richmond during fair week to visit
not only the exhibits at the State fair
but also The library and other places
Of interest In Richmond. and that a
number of these. refraining from 60
ing to the fair on Richmond day and
so avoiding the crowd, utilize the time
IN visiting other places and objects
OF interest in Richmond. For the ben
eft of these and the regular patrons
of the library 1t has always been
thought best that the State library be
kept open on Richmond day of the
fair. Visitors to the library have al
ways been numerous on that day Ac
cordingly, those who this year wish TO
visit the library today will find every
opportunity given them to examine
the various objects of interest there
and to consult such books as they NAV
call for.

china's Relation by Law,
Prom the Cleveland Plain DeaIe,

rIOLl IuS CLEVELAND ram Dealer.
Prom superficial inspection little fault
can be found with Yuan Shin Kai for the
which he. has dictated to the adj
rn~iristrative council. But a glance below
the surface shows that the adoption of the
state religion Is merely n more reaction
airy step by the powerful old man who
holds China in his two hands.
Sun Vat Sen and nearly all the import
leaders of the revolution were Chris
tfans, Their religion was not advertised,
as 1t was feared the masses might look
the revolution as a movement to
ChristianiZe the country. The Christian
Chinese represented nearly all the adj
vanced thought and occidental learning OF
the nation. They were the men who con-
ceived the republic, and 1t was their In
telligence which brought the republic into
being. They did not seek 20 establish
Christianity as the state religion, however
devoted they themselves may have been
to its teachings. Their fight was politi-
cal and not religious. They destroyed the
old order, but they did not destroy Con-
fucianism, although Confncianism was
one of the props of the empire.
Yuan was placed at the head Of the re-
public by these Christian leaders because
they appraised him as China's strongest
them, even by beheading them. till not q
single progressive is left at the mock-im-
pertal court at Pekin. And now, by die
Eating the establishment of Confucianism,
he serve notice that W the religion OF
the reforKners is banished from his court.
Yuan and Christianity are naturally an
tagonistfc: the ideas and ideals OF the
Christian leaders are Just what the reaO-
tionary president has been battling.
