the administrative council. which, being
non-elective, would be permanent body.
This was in November As the appetite
grows in the course of a repast, Yuan
has decided that his administrative coun-
Gil may, in the interest of economy, and
Yuan. be considerably diminished. AL
though it goes without saying that
every one appointed to this administra-
tive council is Yuan partisan.
Among the members already named
there are Sin Che Cheung, formerly of
the grand council of the empire; Lii
Ching Chi. former president of the pro-
visional senate: Cha Liang. former di-
rector of the University of Peking. All
these were mandarins under the empire.
The members of the koumingtang
party, or Young China" have resigned
or have made haste to bolt from Peking,
if not from China. lest they invite per
secution and perhaps decapitation.
When the republic was popular, or ap-
parently popular. the party of Young
China was tolerated by the people. but
the party WAS never entirely sympathetic
with the peasant because it destroyed the
cult of temples. the statues. the genii and
the rest ground deeply in the soul of the
common man, as indeed, in the soul of
the mandarin. For the populations of
the provinces 1t was abominable sacri-
leSe to overturn the temples. abandon the
rites of the ancestors which are the
foundation of family and society in China
Yuan has said to missionary that he
viii! not restore Confucianism Neverthe-
less. he has re-established the cult of the
temples, which means the cult of Con-
fucianism. And this is important, be-
cause in the end he may secure a sort
of passive popularity with the people.
who look back with regret to the old or
der of things. and who cordially dislike
the new. Yuan has been represented as a
scholar and student. He is nothing of
the sort. and in the days I knew him
personally in Korea he had no such pre-
tensions. He was a voracious eater and
drinker, a bon vivant, but neither philos-
opher nor poet. Simply soft clay in the
hands of his secretary, who gave him all
his inspiration, which was not much in

day YUAN had perfected plans to ahol-
fish parliament" Previous dispatches an

missed several regiments of soldiers with
their officers without pay. 4 number OF
provincial governors were treated In the
same manner, while several rehellions

were decapitated.
A Picking dispatch dated December 26
furnishes some details of Tuan's drastic
way of enforcing personal government:
''On that day. runs the dispatch, ''Ho
mutinous soldiers and their commander
were shot to death. AS fast as one firing
squad had performed its task another
took its place. The men were executed
by order of President Yuan Shih kai for
their revolt against the government at
Kiangyuan."
Another dispatch announces the revolt
of three regiments at Talifou. These
regiments, it was said. had killed their
officers. looted the armories. killed the
themselves independent in the name Of
Sun Yat Sen.
The mention of DIR. sun Vat Sens name
in that connection is to say the least
somewhat peculiar and leads one to sus-
pect that Yuan would cast reflection upon
his too generous and trusting rival. II
will be recalled that following the revo-
luton of July DR.. Sun Vat Sen escaped
from China. Yuan when quite sure of
Suns departure offered rewards for a long
list of rebels. For one who headed the
list Yuan offered SJO.G0O For Dr. Sun :
head whose name followed last on the
list. Yuan in apparent derision offered
the modest sum of $40.
Are these reports of mutiny intended &c
a curtain behind which Yuan may seek
to excuse his own revolution-rea ction
against the constitution? Indeed. as far
back as November II a dispatch an
nounced Yuan's intention to summon an
administrative council" which, in addi-
ton to transacting state affairs. would
draft regulations governing the new par

Would Better School Conditions.

Lawrence, Kan, Dec. 19-That Kan
sas and her schools would profit by the
adoption of mill tax amendment to
the state constitution was the unani-
nous opinion of the students and alum
nj who attended the mill tav convoca-
ton at the university this week.

Stauffer and Sherman Elliott, mem
bers-elect Of the legislature. and Chan
cellor Strong, were the speakers VINO
addressed the joint meeting of the
county club organizations. formed Dy
the students from practically every
county in the state, pointed out:
That the direct tax of a fraction OF
mill on all the property OF the state
would benefit the institutions because
it would make their income permanent
plan for the future as they cannot do
under a hand-to-mouth policy.
| That it would benefit the state be-
cause 1t would build up better insti-
buttons Of which the state can be
proud and from which it would reap
| the greatest benefit In direct ana mol
| rect service.
That it would relieve the legislature
of a burden which, with the short BIZ
ennial session and the manifold bus1-
ness to be handled, it might well dis
pense with.
That under a business-1ike system
insuring a steady income. increasing
as the valuation Of the state increases,
it would be less easy for other states
| to attract the best teachers from Kan
sas as has been done in the past.
! That a calculable income means eff
! ficiency-that the state will get the
greatest possible value for its money
and that the benefits of true economy
will be felt in the department of the
states business requiring large expen-
| ditureS.

TRADE IS IRREGULAR.
But Optimism as to the Future Is
More in Evidence.
New York, Dec. 1s.-Bradstreet's

New York, Dec. 19.-Bradstreet's
says:
TRADE currents run along irregu-
lar lines. On the one hand retail
trade has been helped by two factors,
holiday buying and cold weather. but
in the larger lines the immediate
situation is quiet, rejecting preinven-
tory conditions. plus seasonable slow
ing down in industrial pursuits. At
the same time optimism as to the flu
ture is more in evidence, thanks to
lower rates for money, improvement
in financial markets and the render
ing of q decision in the eastern rail-
way freight case.
incidentally, buying Of finished
steel as we'll as Of cotton goods for
future delivery has expanded some
what, quotations being sufficiently at
tractive to induce business. Bank
clearings for the week aggregate ST.
897,6662, 900, a decrease of 12.4 per
cent from this week last year. Bust
ness failures for the week were ass
against 37S in the corresponding week

The chief complaint of the women was
that tn, officers smoked cigarettes
and as there was such ban on cigar

pearanCeS,
