The question Of taxes was en-.
discussed and it was the unsn;
nous opinion that a reductI0s
should be made. It was aura0d
that for Leflore and the hseu
counties a reduction of at lrs..
five mills be made, making ~.
advalorem taxes for the presen.
year seven ana one halt mills AZ
against twelve and one half mills
last year. There will also be- :
substantial reduction in the aera.

board to sell bonds to the amonn,
of one million dollars at once r.

sippi River, and think, then per.
manently completed, after which
the taxes will be nominal and
scarcely felt. This enlargement
will cost about two and one half
million dollars; a half million Of
which has been paid. Our plan
is to push the work and LET con.
tracts at once to the amount Of
one million dollars and next wear
to spend a half million dollars tax
money, and then next year, to sell
a half million dollars more bonds
and complete the work. We will
still have money from taxes 10
maintain the !evees and do the
revetment work. We are getting
considerable aid from the govern.
ment to do the work but not to
build levees; this refusal is on &C.
count of our levees being much
higher than the government stan.
dard, as they will aid in building
leyees only to their standard.
The board hopes to complete
this work in the next two or three
years, having at i~tslcompletion the
best levees in the world.
We have now outstanding bonds
amounting to $1,000, 600 90, and
should it take $500, 10000 more
to complete the work our total
indebtedness then will be $3,400,.

In the matter Of preaching, the Chi
nese themselves cannot be beaten.
Phraseology prescribing virtues is the
common stock-in-trade of most politi-
clans. The politician knows by heart
the best and longest passages Of the
Chinese classics, which abound In ad-
monitions to certain virtues. To
know the classics was the first re-
quirement, under the Manchu rule, for
eligibility to office. The man who
could repeat the greatest length of
words from them was considered the
greatest scholar and shown the great
est difference by the nation. He was
of great advantage to the govern
ment because it was the fashion and
the trick to embody extensive deo;ara,
lions of piety,-often quoted verbatim
from the sages, in the imperial edits.
If words were deeds China would be
a splendidly righteous and well-gov-
erned country But even those edicts

which appeared years ago abolishing
such evils as slavery and foot-binding
have not yet been put into force, and
continue even under the republic.
From the theological school of
Boone University which requires over
ten years of study, Chinese pastors go
out to convert their own people. The
Chinese have recently, of their own
accord, sent a missionary to a remote
walled city in the south of this prov
ince, seven days journey away from
the Yiantze river.
Depend on Mission Schools.
Some Chinese are able to go abroad
to get their knowledge of foreign
things, but most of them have to turn
to the mission schools and colleges.
The government sought to supply the
demand and engaged foreign teachers
for the state universities. In these
cash compensations were granted stu
dents for attending but politics and
corruption and lack of discipline pre-
vented them from being as efficient
as what the missionaries offer.
The Wuchang Government Univer.
sity, across the Yiangtze from here
should be one of the great centers OF
teaching in this country, but having
no money, it has been unable since
the revolution to pay a foreign staff
Consequently the Chinese of this dis
trict go to Boone University, the
American institution there. which has
over three hundred students.

TYPE OF CONVERT WAS WON TO
ANY CREED IF SUPPORTED
IN lpLENEss.
MISSIONARIES NOW APPEAL 4
TO The BETTER CLASSES
Protestant Missionaries Now Seeking
To Prepare Chinese to Convert Their
own PeopIe-Natives Said To Be
Great Preachers.

Hankow, China, April 30-The
"rice-C Christian" that type of Chinese
convert which was easily won over to
any creed so long as he was supported
in idleness, has had his day, acord-
ing to the American Episcopal Mis-
sion in this city. The mission Of all
denominations today are making
their appeal to the better class.
There was time whom missionaries
came to China with the idea that
there was no time to lose in muster
ing the whole army Of Chinese under
Christian standards. To make rice
Christians" was easy. For daily sup
plies Of rice, millions of beggars and
coolies could be induced to swear they
were believers in anything. But that
was not converting China.
There were, however, few mission
aries of any denomination who
worked so unwisely. In the present
day such men have hard time living
in the mission community. 1t cannot
be said that the man of fanatical en-
thusiasm has been entirely eliminated
but the average type of missionary to-
days is far more practical.
1t is the idea of the Episcopal mis-
sionaries and their British associates
to prepare Chinese to convert their
own people. They point to the recent
formation of the independent "Holy
Catholic Church" in China, which is
conducting it's own affairs. This sue
cessful establishment of an ''indepen-
dent" church, the first in China, is the
result Of the system of education con-
Quoted jointly by the Church Of Eng
land at home and in Canada, and the
Episcopal Church of the United
States.

has decided to add feature to its benecient work
in caring for the benehciares of it's insured.
Hereafter when proofs of death made the bene-
hciary under will be permitted to leave the
funds with the Company and receive cent interest
on same In addition paying this interest, the Com
psny will open bank account with the beneficiary on
the following plan:
Instead of paying the full amount of the insurance in
lump sum- the Company will advance whatever
amount the beneficiary wants during the period OF a
year They will credit her with the full amount of the
policy and debit her with what she during the first
year pass book will be the beneficiary, with both
credit and debts each anniversary of the death OF
the insured On this date each year the per cent inter-
est earnings during the preceding year will be credited
in the pass book
For example: A man dies May | 5th and leaves
S., 900 policy payable to his wife. She will have the
privilege of naming any part of this she may desire tor
first years expenses Say she wthdraws $500 This
will be sent her in checks signed by the Company for say
$50 EACH AS needed in paying bills, the beneficiary
use them as she likes. At the end of first year, the
"a 500 balance is credited with per cent interest, and
the next instament of checks for during
second year, and so each subsequent year.
In this way The New York Life proposes to provide
safe investment for the benehciares OF its policy
holders and eliminate the possibility of their making bad
investments or in other ways losing their insurance
money.
The above plan was outlined by Vice-President
Buckner meeting of agents from Alabama and Mis-.
sissppi Monday. April 9th, at Birmingham and
will be put operation early date The full amount
of any all policies will be paid in full heretofore
if benencaries desire it.

Bisbee daily review., 1914-10-18

to the states constitution of Arizona, to inform the public through the press the manner in which the proposed amendment would affect the Catholic church in Arizona, in case 1t becomes law, and. as a reply to this request, I made the following statement through the press. to-wit: If the proposed prohibition amendment, as it stands now. including the prohibition Of wine for sacramental purposes and in the case of the Catholic church for the lawful celebration of the holy sac rifice of mass. becomes law it will mean the prohibition of the celebra- ton of mass for the Catholic priests in Arizona. and hence the law will be Unconstitutional as interfering with the liberty of religion granted by the constitution of the United States of America to an her citizens lam now glad to say that have been informed from authoritative and legal sources that the amendment does not include the prohibition of wine to celebrate mass and consequently that it will not affect in the least unfavorably the Catholic church in Arizona This is the opinion also of Judge A. C. Baker, former justice of the supreme court of Arizona. and a Catholic himself, an opinion thereon which attorneys gen. orally will approve. Judge Baker says, There is not the remotest danger of any court in this state holding that tho amendment, if adopted will inter fere with or affect the use of wine at Holy Eucharist or Holy Communion, or the proper and lawful celebration cf the Holy Sacrifice of mass for the Catholic priests of Arizona This is certainly plain enough and should do completely away with any fear on the part of Catholics in Arizona both lai- tv and clergy that the proposed amendment will hurt the Catholic church or worship.
 Nov after this thorn has been taken out Of the proposed amendment with regard to the Catholic church ! wish to state my position on the pro NNrrA nANFlAAllAlNLt illN UpAulAl NA mine is only my personal opinion as a Catholic priest. and not the authorita- tive opinion of the Catholic church herself. or of all Catholic priests, be- cause an Catholic priests are at lib. erty to be in favor of or against pro hibition The only thing the Catholic church as such. or an the Catholic priests are against on principle, is the abuse Of liquor. or drunkenness not the proper use of it. St. Paul him. self advised hs fellow apostle Tim othy. to use some wine for the good of his stomach All must admit even an honest liquor dealers themselves that the public sale of intoxicating ll qours in public places such as saloons stores. or a brewery is a very danger ous thing to promote drunkenness and with drunkenness an sorts of oth
 CT crimes such as immortality, mur der, neglect of religious and domcsti, duties Consequently an good citizen must be against the abuse of liquor. oi drunkenness.
