Progressive China.

In g sense the Chinese are the most pro-
gressive OF all progressive people. Once their
knowledge and conscience are aroused to an
evil or hindranoe, action is swift and sure.
For centuries China lay sleeping In the lap OF
pagan monarchy till the light of modern clviliza-
tion burst in and revealed the nations plight.
Then China awoke. and In a twinkling turned
from the Oldest monarchy 20 the newest OF re-
publics. One OF the incidents of its awakening
was the discovery OF the deadly effects OF the
opium habit, as old. almost. as the race that
practiced II.
"You can't expect speedy reform there, "
said wise Americans. and wiser Britons added
assent, but with a deeper meaning, for British
India had lots OF opium to sell. Yearly It's
ships emptied great cargoes into Chinese ports.
But both American and Briton reckoned
without his host China had got its eyes open
to a new fact 1t had learned, for the first
time. that opium was eating out It's very life
and soul; that II would in time, II persisted In,
sap the vitality from an otherwise powerful
people. And almost as one man. 40o, ,00o, 900
Chinese, figuratively speaking. rose up and de-
clared themselves against opium.
1t only took little light, the truth, that
vas all. And, happily. Americans had most
10 do with letting in the light, with instilIine
that truth. Our missionaries blaEed the way,
just as they did for commerce. Last November
Peking had its first great burning OF opium and
opium pipes. 1t has just had another. Be-
tween the Temple OF Heaven and the Temple OF
Agriculture tthe soul and the soil are involved
In this benediction) huge piles OF pipes and
opium-more than 5000 ounces Of the latter
were burned the other day. II was a spectacular
demonstration-as most everything Is in China
and sent it's glow throughout the empire
Nothing spectacular can go on in Peking with
out arousing interest in the rest OF the country
Yes. no doubt few habitues are still hang
ing onto the old drug, but official China, rep
resentative China, new China. republican China
are all against 1t, and that is enough to seal
its doom. The last English ship that landed ia
vile cargo from India was turned back. The

All-the-Year-Round Courts.

Several Chicago judges have recently an
nounced their intention to forego their summer
vacations so as to give hearings to persons
awaiting trial and unable, or not permitted, to
furnish bond On the face of It, it seems like
magnanimity on the part of the judges, but 1t is
simply what they should do. why keep a man
in a stuffy prison on the suspicion of guilt, yet
entitled to the presumption of innocence, in
order that judge may have a fine time at some
summer resort? For the man with money to
put up in lieu of lying in Jail 1t may not matter
so much, but to the man Of no means speedy
trial is vital.
II is only drawing attention anew from an
other angle to some of the peculiar practices Of
the courts. There is no more reason for stop
ping the machinery Of justice than for shutting
down the wheels OF industry. Rather less
reason, for the judges and court officers can
easily arrange to take their vacations one at
time, and no one complains that we lack for
numbers in Judges
There Is positively no justification for keep
Ing an accused man in Jail pending trial one
day longer than necessary. Many man serves
out fairly long sentence this way, then proves
his innocence without recourse for the impris-
onment. So we say, II al-the-year-round courts
will promote justice they should command our
favor

The Middle West Barometer.

"As goes the middle west so goes the union.
as far as prosperity is concerned" says the
Chicago Herald. THE middle west has the
whole range of industry, and this enables II to
reflect the prosperity Of the country as no
other section can. II has manufactures, mines.
agriculture, commerce, shipping railroads 1t
has everything that any other section has and
something more than any other section"
The middle west, therefore, becomes at once
the heart and pulse, the very barometer, in fact,
Of business conditions. Read your Wall street
paper, your financial sheet, or even your New
York and Boston daily and what Is II basing
its judgment Of business ONT Conditions in
the middle west every time. Southern crops
may fail, Wall street cut up didoes the Pacific
slope lapse into one Of its commercial seances
and east. west and south present a dark pros
pect. But wait till we know about the middle
west
SO the country is gradually settling down to
a solder basis than speculation as result Of
the constant development OF the middle west
with its amazing resources both as to produc-
tion and consumption. Let business lag, let
crops be short elsewhere and the middle west
continues to furnish the market for the big
supply houses. Here their agents come to
make up for orders lost in other sections. 1t
happens regularly. These facts all we'll
known, but. like prophets too seldom appre-
ciated in their own country.

Carranza's Responsibility.

The world powers doubtless stand ready to
follow the lead of the United States in recog-
nlzlng any orderly government established in
Mexico Both in view Of this and the fact that
he owes all his achievements thus far to the
Wilson policy. Carranza, therefore, can afford
to heed advice from Washington. He can at
ford to exert his utmost power TO avert that
other more dreadful form of "watchtul waiting
that would keep mothers, sisters, wives and
children OF men valnly waiting their return.
With Huerta gone, his successor eager to give
up the reins OF authority and the American
government offering support, Carranza can show
himself equal to the occasion only by subordi-
mating everything else to the cause of peace.
No one denies that President Wilson has
done well to avoid Intervention. He said to
Huerta, co. and Huerta went, though sulking
around for seventeen months. And his going
is under circumstances far more propitious to
peace than might have been expected. The key
to the situation now seems to be in Carransa g
hands, and he must meet his responsibility.
