ohina's Parliament.

The new constitution which Yuan

principally notable for the very slight
degree of power which 1t gives to the
Parliament II provides a Parlia-
ment, it is true, consisting of one
body, elected by a restricted fran
chise and possessing the most mar
row powers. The president, who has
the greatest power, can levy taxes by
himself and has an absolute veto over
any of the acts of Parliament.
That the Parliament should be uni
eameral is not vital. Nor do we re-
gard the restricted franchise in the
selection of its members as neres-
sarily a defect to representative gov
eminent in country like China.

Meddlesome Americans Abroad.
From the Springfield Republican.
While most of the Americans in
Europe are anxious enough to get
away, it must be supposed that some
adventurous spirits who have means
and leisure will not only stay, but
will try to see all that can be seen,
and it is these meddlers presuma bly,
of less than average discretion, who
give cause for anxiety. Means will
be found to bring him stranded pill
grimS with nothing worse than incon-
Venience and worry to endure. But
the fool tourist who thinks of Arma-
geddon as show got up for his BEN
eft and strolls around trying to take
notes or snapshots may easily get
into trouble. There were many Amer
leans in France in 1870 and some of
them were cause of annoyance and
concern, both to the French and to
the Germans. Paris had been the re-
sort Of number of southern SYM
pathizers during and after the civil
war, and in 1870 these were for the
most part strongly pro- French,
partly, II may be, because the Ger
mans in the United States almost all
were on the Federal side. But in any
case, Paris had the vote of the aris-
tocratic southerners, to whom it had
been the centre of civilization, while
Berlin was only a provincial capital.
For Americans abroad to take sides
or NEEDLE in any way would be most
unfortunate, and when war begins
civilians can best do their duty by
clearing out as quickly as possible
from the zone Of hostilities, where
they are constant source of nuis-
ance. even If they escape peril thems

The countrr,s crlpples.

,.Erom the indianapolis News.
r. with the increase in the manufac-

ness of employs and the lack Of
proper safeguards on the part of
employers. the number of crippled
persons in the United States, not
crippled in war, but in peace, now
amounts, according TO DR.. II. w.
Orr of Lincoln, Neb., to 259,754. An
illustration of the concern shown in
the welfare of cripples has recently
taken form in a paper devoted to
their interests, the American Jour
nal of Care for Cripples. published
by an organization bearing the name
of Federation of Associations for
,-ripples. The journal pays special
attention to the subjects of the edu-
cation and Industrial training Of
cripfied children. There is now in
! Boston an industrial school for Grip
pied and deformed children which IS
doing good work teaching various
empleyments that will fit the crippled
ones to employ their leisure hours
and to earn their own livelihood.

Huerta, it was recalled, General

that Huerta's bond issue was illegal

Will Pray For Rain;
None For Two Months

Madisonville, KY, July II. =
The pastors Of the different de-
nominations have issued a call to
their members and any who
might wish to attend to meet at
the Baptist church to offer prayer
for rain.
The county is in one of the
severest sieges Of a drouth that
has been known for many years.
Everything is drying up and
water is very scarce. There has
not been any rain since the first
OF May to amount to anything.
Only about one-fourth of the to-
bacco crop is set and other crops
are about the same way. The
water supply here is too low to
use but for drinking purposes,
and water is sold from house to
house.
