Merit
Is Found In The System In
China

Peking, July 31-Dr. Frank j. Good
now, who plans to give up his post of
adviser to America in August to be-
come president of Johns university,
is pleased with the revision of the
provisional constitution of this coun-
try.
Though the revision of the consti-
tuition is criticised and ridiculed by
the foreign press published in China
the Chinese press not daring to do
so--Goodnow says it is much like the
drafts which he drew up at the re-
quest Of the president.
ut is modelled in a large measure,
says Goodnow, ION the Japanese con
stitution, making allowances for a
president as differing from an en-
peror."
1t will be remembered that Presi-
dent Yuan Shi-kai found the provi-
sional constitution, which the revolu-
tionists drafted two years ago at Nam
king, unsuited to the effective admin
istration of affairs during the critical
first years of the republic.
He desired, therefore, to see the
permanent constitution drawn up on
lines which he deemed suitable to this
country. But those radical reformers
who wanted a peoples govern
ment," disregarded the president IS
wishes and advice, and, when the par
lament was assembled, undertook the
work of drafting the permanent con-
stitution not only without seeking his
assistance, but in distinct opposition
to him.
The committee selected to do the
work declined to receive a message
from him and also refused to admit
his personal emissaries into their con
ferences. Thereupon Yuan Shi-kai
took matters in his own hands, issued
a mandate dissolving the Kwo Ming
Tang, the radical party, which was
the largest, and thereupon dislocated
the parliament.
The presidential mandate declared
that the Kwo Ming Tang was rebe
party which had done harm to the
state by interfering in a hostile man
ner with the administration and by
creating a rebellion in the southern
provinces. The mandate referred tC
the so-called second rebellion.
AS result of the forcible dissolu
ton of the Kwo Ming Tang the par
lament ceased to function, because
there was not sufficient number o
members left to muster quorum
The president later caused commit
tee to be appointed for the purpose o
revising the provisional constitution
The committee was composed directl,
and indirectly of nominees of his owl
group of politicians; and the presen
! revision was the result.
AS reported in the cable dispatche
the revised constitution gives tn
president practically dictatorial pow
ers. He has held them hitherto
, such an extent as any single man ca
be dictator-but not legally. He
now surrounded with the form c
legality.

Mr. Bancroft, the retiring general
manager of the Oregon Short Line,
and of E. E. Calvin, incoming head
Of the road, shows that both men
have attained their high positions by

1856. Mr.. Calvin began his career
in 1873, also as a telegraph operator
Mr.. Bancroft was employed first az
a telegraph operator and ticket clerk
for the Michigan Southern railway.
Later he became an operator and
dispatcher. In 1873 he was appoint
ed superintendent of the Denver &
Rio Grande and was appointed re-
ceiver of the road in 1884. Later,
when the finances of that road were
adjusted, he entered the employ Of
the Union Pacific in 1890. He was
put in charge of the mountain divl-
sion Of the Union Pacific, with the
title Of general superintendent of
lines west of Chicago. That was
seven years before the Oregon Short
Line was divorced from the Union
Pacific.

Davis, chairman of the Lincoln Day
Banquet association, sets forth the
objects and aims of the organization
clearly and briefly in the following
communication just sent to each OF
the county chairman:
The approach of February 10,
Lincoln day, reminds me to invite
your attention to the fact that this
is the day selected by the Republi-
cans Of Idaho for the holding of
their annual banquet to discuss
matters of interest to the party in
both state and nation.
I'VE desire the meeting of the
state association which will be held
in Boise on that date to be particu-
larry representative and to bring
together men of all shades of politi-
cal belief in the party from all
parts of the state; in other words
to make it a get together move
ment which will have behind it
much force and earnest purpose.
1--WE should like you and all
others interested to attend the meet
ing at Boise. but we realize the
fact that there will be many Repub-
licans over the state who will be
unable to attend the gathering here
In the capital but who might appre-
cfate an opportunity to participate
in similar gathering nearer home.
Il suggest that you investigate
and arrange to hold a Lincoln day
in your county seat, and
to bring together on such an occa-
sion as many oof the interested Re-
publicans of your county as it is
possible to do. Doubtless convent
ences could be had for a fine meet
Ing. The banquet part Of it could
be made inexpensive, many people
could be brought together and
much good result to the party from
such meeting and discussion Of
party matters.
"Will you please take this up at
once and see what you can do to-
ward holding a meeting in your ,
county under the auspices of your
county organization similar to the
one we expect to hold in Boise un-
Ter the auspices of the state OF. ,

LINCOLN DAY BANQUET
FOR EVERY COUNTY

Plans for the observance of the
anniversary of Abraham Lincoln q
birthday are taking a broader scope
this year than ever before in Idaho.
Heretofore banquet in Boise has
been the extent of the celebration.
One serious objection is interposed
against this plan. Because Of the long
distances to be travelled and tho
heavy expense to be incurred this has
deprived many worthy men from par
ticipating in the tributes paid to
the memory Of one of the greatest
men Of all time.
To meet this objection it is now
proposed by the Lincoln Day Ban.
quet association to have a celebra.
ton this year in every county in
the state on February IL. No
secret is made of the fact that one
of the main objects of these celebra-
lions is to revive Republican enthu.
siasm and restore party hal mony by
furnishing a rallying point around
which all men who regard them
selves as Republicans will be glad
to gather
For this reason the plans for
holding county Lincoln day cele-
brations will be worked out through

spective counties. Captain E. G.

Monthly Instead Of Quarterly
nnent Of Pensions

Congressman Smith, of Idaho, is
urging the enactment of legislation
providing for the payment of pen.
sions monthly instead of quarterly
to the survivors of the Union Army
and their widows.
Mr.. Smith contends that the addi.
tional expense required to issue
monthly checks instead of quarterly
is fully warranted in the benefit that
it would be to the defenders of the
Government fifty years ago, who are,
In many instances, dependent upon
their pension for support, as there
are but few of them now able to
earn their livelihood.
