Republicans all over Pennsylvania,
without regT ID to their present party
appellations, are preparing to give the
Democracy all the fight it is looking
for this year. There is a disposition in
all parts of the State to get together
and forget the differences of the last
few years. 1t is quite common nova
days to read in the newspapers of har-
mony conferences and the nomination
of the same candidates on both the Re-
publican and Washington party tickets.
With an open primary it is compare
lively easy matter to join forces with
harmony in view.

a those who have made a study
~ of conditions in China have sus-
y pected from the first, the re-
cent announcement that Con-
fucianism is to be the official" rel-
gion of the new republic does not
mean much. According to a cable
from Peking, China's president has
issued mandate explaining the exact
meaning and force of a previous off
cial announcement regarding the re-
storation of Confucianism. This new
mandate points out that religious free
dom is granted fully and will be prop
erly guaranteed.
Tt then goes on to say: NO state
religion will be introduced. as under
the Ching dynasty. since religious free
dom corresponds with the system of
repubiicanism.'
This is only official confirmation OF
what observers have believed TO be
the definite policy Of China's pres-
dent. Yuan has won a splendid repu-
tation for keeping his word and he
has long been the friend of the foreign
Christian missionary and the Chinese
Christian.
In the dark days of the Boxer
troubles it was Viceroy Yuan who
not merely protected Christians from
injury or insult in his own province,
but who quietly conveyed the news
to Washington, upon the strength of
which the dispatch of troops to safe
guard the legations was determined.
Since then he has done many things
for which Christian propagandists are
properly grateful. But his most sig
nal contribution in retention of the
open door" for Christianity Is his
decision, in face of political intrigue,
that China shall not revert to the re-
dictionary ranks of nations shackled
by the bonds of state religions.
Without saying it, and while Saving
his face" with the conservatives of
China-who are mighty host-Pres-
ident Yuan has paved the way for
Christianity to become the dominant
religion in China.

THE NEW PHILOSOPHY OF GOVERN.
MENT

tFrom Life.1
Governor Bullmoose Hiram Johnson
of California, says that women are to
be credited with the new philosophy OF
government which sets human above
material things. He said so to the Wo-
ing that this new philosophy believes
that the Governments purpose is to
make people happier; to make
them better; that the only success
ful Government is the one that
does this"
Quite right, Governor. Governments
purpose is to make people happier. but
you cannot do that long by putting the
gospel into the statute book, and en-
forcing 1t by taxation. You would not
hear of State church supported by
taxation. would you? But you propose
to compel your taxpayers to support a
system of benevolence. That is what
dne Kind OF government you praise
amounts to. You intend to make the
people who have more do their DUTY
by the people who have less as yol
see it.
What will happen?
California Will be very attractive 10
people who have everything to gain.
and Will look more and more dubious

NOT ONLY SWAT BUT STARVE THE FLY.

A YE.AR ago the Swat the A flyi" slogan had a country
 wide vogue, and as result probably billions of flies were swatted. But because of the enormous capacity of flies for multiplication single pair may produce billions of their kind--tI.ere did not seem to be very appreeiahle elimination In the total number.
 The wiser slogan "Starve the fiyi" has been adopted this year, and the only means of starving the insect IS by allowing it noth- iaa on which 10 feed. Filth IS its food, and not only should the city streets he kept clear of t and the vacant lots not be made the convenient dumping grounds for every kind Of ref use, but every corner Of closet or cellar or kitchen should be cleared of it's insanitary aceu- mutations.
 The most productive breeding places of the disease carrying fly are garbage cans, euspidors and manure. To keep a large city absolutely clean with respect to these is no small task. but by the interested and intelligent co operation of the municipal au- thorities and the citizens gen. orally the danger of disease from flies can be reduced to a minimum.

COLORADO NEEDS NO AID.
Bankers Say State Can Furnish Money
to Move Bumper Crops.

Washington. Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo announced that as
soon as necessary arrangements can
be made he will distribute s34,0O0,0 900
to aid in moving the crops.
Not dollar of this money will go
to Colorado. When inquiry was made
at the secretary's office as to why
Colorado has been left out, 1t was
stated that money is being sent only
to localities where the national bank
ers have signified there is need for it,
and that the bankers of Colorado have
indicated they do not need this finan-
cial assistance.
1t is stated that although Colorado
will have a bumper crop this year, the
bankers have assured the secretary
that no outside money will be needed
to move 1t.
On June "a letters were sent to T.
500 bankers throughout the country
asking If money would be needed from
the federal treasury to help move the
crops. and the distribution is being
made in accordance with the answers.
