information could be first hand Other
nations have such officials constantly
on the lookout for new avenues.
As matter Of fact. this proposal is
not new. II was being investigated
by the previous administration and the
probability is that commercial at
tache would have been at work in
China had there been no change. That
1t is desirable one is obvious.
China is the largest market in the
world that Is in process Of develop
ment. Railway communication is
being pushed ahead vigorously. Within
the past year the government signed
agreements with foreign financiers for
the construction Of more mileage than
has been allotted in the past thirty
eight years
Every other nation is striving ener-
getically to lay foundations for com.
mercial development, while America,
the logical supplier, is idle. Americans
in China appreciate this to the full
and the formation of the North China
association is their answer to the ques
ton as to what they are doing to try
to make the home land understand that
there is a magnificent market await
ing exploitation, but which will not be
permitted to await much longer. Other
nations are wide awake and are Sc
curing the plums as fast as they can
gather them.

POLITICAL SITUATION
IN OHIO

lanes Faulkner, the noted political
writer, thus sizes up the political situa-
ton in Ohio:
1t may as well be accepted now as at
any other time that political conditions
in Ohio in 1914 will greatly resemble
those OF 1912. The regular Republicans,
as shown by the candidates, evince no
disposition to divide the inheritance with
the boilers of two years ago and they are
greatly encouraged by the decisive vic
tory of Senator Boles Penrose, i'll Penn
sylvania. Nor is any Progressive prodi-
gal of prominence seeking a place on the
Republican State or Congressional tick
cts. Garford, Garfield and Walter +.
Brown are at New York making arrange
ments to bring Roosevelt into Ohio to
support the array of caDnidates they will
put out in every district and county.
Admission is made generally that most OF
the meetings called to effect fusion have
not produced the desired results. These
things verify the prediction made i'll 1912
that it would require two beatings to
bring the warning wings of the opposi-
ton to the Democracy together. As Gar
field well states it, compromise now is as
lulOIGIdDlG anu dS iii DOHolDIS do AllC olhN
cry issue before the Civil War. The sit
uaton is one that must be fought out
and talked out. 1t is significant that the
Progressives here furiously cheered the
statement of Garford that nothing was to
be gained by mere blind attack upon the
state administration and that the battle
must be conducted in favor of the nation
al and state platforms. Through judi
cious distribution of patronage, which can
be justified on the theory of wise exer-
else of practical politics, the third party,
in addition to large volunteer organiza-
ton of zealots, now possesses what might
be properly called machine. 1t is as
well off in many respects as the disorgan-
lied Republican army of workers. Ithas
a state ticket and platform and can hus-
band its resources in the manner of nom
nations. That it has lost since 1912 many
leaders and newspapers is admitted, but
it views with undisguised satisfaction the
internal warfare among the Republicans,
hoping to regain the deserters or to swear
in new recruits. These things may seem
unpleasant to the Republicans who had
hoped for better things, but they are
true even if they are bitter.

Martin, three years a soldier, is plead

in order that he may be near Miss
Jeanne olivier, formerly of this city.
Four years ago Emile Martin tucked
his diploma from the University of

America. He was Of French aristOcra-

with an education.
Emile Joined the United States army

regiment to regiment he was shifted,
until one day he found himself in Tex

diers drearily waiting for something to
happen in Mexico
In Texas City he met Miss Olivier.

He has been granted leave Of absence

The suggestion of the New Zealand
idea as a possible solution of the agrar-
ian problem is inspiring, II is true that
New Zealand's land measures are far
from perfect and in more than one re-
spect depart from correct principles. Yet
they stand as an attempt-clumsy and
laundering asst is-toapplya fundament-
al remedy to a fundamental evil. They
mark departure from efforts to cure
economic troubles without touching the
cause. It does not follow that in the
suggestion of New Zealand's example
the land laws of that colony must be lit
erallv copied II should not be difficult
TO eliminate the mistakes, the most glar-
ing of which are the exemption of small
holdings from taxation and the graduated
tax features, especially the one that deals
more gently with a domestic monopolist
than nonresident one. Let Mexico
improve on the New Zealand system by
making It's land value tax apply to all
holdings so as to give to the people all
the values that they have created and so
as to leave none to those who have not
created them. There will then be estab'
lished new order which will have its
foundation on human liberty and human
rights.

Hugh Rodman, U. S. n, who will have

According to Captain Rodman, the
meteorological conditions are more IA
vorable for shipping at the entrances
of the Panama canal than at almost
any other port in the world of any
thing like the Importance of Colon and
Balboa. At Colon the completion of
one breakwater and the far advance of
another give u still water entrance to
the canal. The aids to navigation
through Gatun lake have been made so
clear that, as he believes. captains will
find the passage through, day or night,
as safe and easy as walk down
Broadway and the Culebra cut passage
as safe as any large river.

SPRING FEVER BULLETIN OUT.
Rules For Diet and Dress to Counter
act Lassitude.


New York.-A list Of instructions for
the fighting of spring fever was issued
by the Young Mems Christian associa-
tion in a health bulletin Cor members.
1t urges first of all that neither gin
r1ckeys and highballs nor beer should
be used as a cure for spring fever"
adding that neither medicine nor al
coholic drinks Of any kind can cure
that malady. The real cause of the
general lassitude of Office folk these
days, the bulletin asserts, is the clog
ging up Of the body with food beyond
the amount necessary to supply the
proper amount of heat units.
The bulletin urges the observation of
these health rules:
Eat lightly. The body doesn't need
the amount Of food that It does in win
ter.
Exercise regularly. Help nature by
training down.
'The man with the paunch may look
prosperous, but it's dollars to dough-
nuts he'd feel better without the alb
dominal hump.
Dress for the season, Discard your
heavy winter clothing, but do it grad
ually.
Breathe in plenty Of fresh air to
wash the blood and help carry off
waste.
Most people experience a distaste
for fat foods at this season. 1t is a
good thing. Shun fat foods. Your body
doesn't need them.
Eat plenty of fresh vegetables and
fruits. A tasty salad is more beneficial
than steak"

uel G. Blythe's account in the Saturday
Evening Post of May Is of President Will

President Wilson plainly says therein;
"When we have finished with Mexico,
Mexico will be territorially intact. !"
What President Wilson promises will be
done. We could not be so sure were
Congress to do the promising. The mem
ory Is still too fresh for that of the pledge
made by Congress in the Teller resolu-
ton at the outbreak of the Spanish war
to the effect that there would be no an
nexation of territory. In spite of that
promise, and in spite of President Nc
Kinleys denunciation ofcriminalaggres
sion, we committed the wrong against
the PHILIPPINES that to this day has not
been righted, So promise by Congress
would be Justly subject to doubt. 1t is
different with President Wilson. His

We note that the consolidation of de-
partments relating to the agricultural in
terests has resulted in a saving of ST.
779. .85 over the last year of the seven di-
visions of this work. This a most graft
fying exhibit. When Governor Cox first
conceived of this consolidation, he was
much criticized, but the results have
shown the wisdom of it. The informa-
ton is especially gratifying because there
was some fear that the agricultural COM
mission was spreading out too much, es-
pecially in the direction of the State fair,
which seemed to be departing from the
old idea of noble rivalry and knowledge
resource into a great show affair, to min
lister to our curiosity rather than to our
aspiration. But the figures showing a
reduction of expense do not support that
impression. With all the things that 5
doing in the agricultural situation and
the retrenchment tnat goes with 1t, 1t
seems certain that the governor was
right when he converted the seven de-
partments into one.
