Chinese by thousands are flocking to
the missionaries to learn Christian
methods, and to hear about the Christ
ians' God. They are deserving their
idols and seeking for something that
will better meet the new demands of
their hearts.
To meet China with dreadnoughts
and standing armies is to court the
greatest war the world has ever seen.
To send her missionaries and help her
to meet and overcome her problems
is to win her gratitude and esteem.

The Chinese are the greatest nation
the world has ever known. For 1900
years they have existed scarcely touch
ed by world events. The Egyptians
Jews. Greeks, Romans, Spaniards and
French have risen to world eminence
and declined in power. Some of the
nations have passed out Of existence
! China remains. Nay more! In spite OF
4 floods, famines and pestilences her
population has increased. Today there
are 423,000,000 Chinese. This is one
fourth of the worlds population.
The great wall and the grand canal
of China are the greatest national UNI
dertakings ever accomplished by any
people.
For 5000 years the Chinese have
looked with contempt on all other ma
tons. In their ignorance they thought
that they dominated the world.
Their awakening has come.

of her seaports and large slices of her
domains. She has been forced to pay
huge indemnities. Her merchants have
been insulted. Great Britain forced the
opium trade on her. Her people are
being taught the white mans vice
the liquor habit. Nations are refusing
to allow her citizens free entrance to
their ports. The control of her great
natural resources has been acquired
by the hatred foreigners.
Fifteen years ago the Japanese were
a despised heather nation. Today they
are world power. Japan has only
6O,OOO,oOO people.
The Chinese have studied Japan's
example. Their leaders are on fire
with the desire to Guido Japan and
make Chinas world influence felt.
During the past five years the
Chinese have made greater reforms
than the Japanese accomplished in any
ten-year period
Thirty-f1ve years ago there was not
a mile Of railway in China. Today
there are 5000 miles of modern rail-
ways. Thousands of miles of additional

HORSE RUNS INTO OPEN
SHAFT NEAR LANE CITY

John Weber had quite a thrilling
experience yesterday afternoon while
he was engaged in doing the annual
assessment work on the Sapho grouo
of claims. His horse which had been
led 10 a tree broke loose and dash
ed frantically over the foothills with
Mr.. Weber in close pursuit.
The chase was continued for about
an hour without accomplishing any
thing in the shape CT results. Neaf
the McDonald-Ely properties the
frightened animal ran into shaff
fifteen feet deep. aud all attempts to
cxtricate him proved futile. As
last resort Mr.. Weber telephoned to
w. l.. Nielsen of the Idaho barn. and
within a short time the horse was re-
moved from the opening

Ragtown Will
Cease to Exist
REFUSAL OF COMMISSIONERS
TO ALLOW RESORTS TO OPEN
TAKES AWAY WHAT GAVE
PLAGUE SPOT ITS LIFE.

The Ragtown of infamous history
end all that it entailed has passed
cut of existence. The refusal of the
county commissioners to grant re-
tail liquor license to Arnold Spitz
and Madaline Stoddard for their
places in that pesthole of vice and
viciousness fell upon that section like
stroke of paralysis. The thing that
kept that plague spot fostering crime
and deprayity has been taken from it.
and 1t can never live again.
The Stoddard woman through her
attorney. G. F. Boreman. appeared
before the board and declared that If
she we're allowed the privilege of
opening a saloon in Steptoe City it
would be conducted in accordance
with legal requirements. and that
minors would not be permitted to
frequent the place.
The contention was made that the
applicant for license had never vio-
lated the law. when she owned half
interest in the Steptoe City club, al
though the saloon was closed up b.
the commissioners. Owing TO the
large sum of money tnat had been
invested In the venture. Mr. Bore
man asked that his client be given
snother chance.
r. J Crawford of McGill, who was
largely responsible for the final con-
vulsion of debauchery in the rag
joints. entered a vigorous protest
against liquor licenses being issued
In that portion of the county. He
said that its extinction was demanded
by the best people at the smelter
town and that sentiment against
these brothcls had been steadily
growing in response to an avalanche
of public opinion.
Ii was his contention that the
people of McGill had been so
thoroughly aroused against these
eyesores that they would have been
destroyed then If the county board
had held out any hope for their flu
ture existence.
Chairman Mcdonald said he was
oognizant of the feeling that existed
at McGill with respect 20 these places.
and that he did not believe they
should be allowed to reopen. Com
missioner Caperton declared that in
asmuch as the tenderloin district had
been eliminated completely he was
willing that the present order OF
things should not be changed until
the majority of residents should in
dieate by petition that they were in
favor of keeping open houses OF
prostitution. Commissioner Cohen
agreed with the other members, and
the applications were rejected by a
unanimous vote.
The commissioners passed resolu-
lion urging the board of directors OF
the Panama-Pacifc exposition to
complete the task which they had SO
auspiciously undertaken, in order
that when the gates of the exposition
shall open next February Nevada
will be found triumpantly represent

LUDLOW STRIKERS
STILL DRILLING
says the Aguilar Record:

Says the Aguilar Record:
Sunday the Ludlow strikers
marched into Aguilar in military Or
der to the number OF $50. They car
ried wooden guns, pistols ana
swords; also two wooden cannon
mounted on wagons and red cross
ambulance. The fighting Greeks. as
they call themselves. are well traincu
In good style. as most or all of them
are veterans of the Balkan war.
After the threats made publicly
by the strikers that when the regu-
lar troops are withdrawn they will
finish what they started in April We
wonder what this means Is. it meant
to intimidate the public?
In the last election the Ludlow
tent colony cast less than 30 votes,
both men and women, showing that
this number represents all the Amer
lean citizens there.
1T is high time that these foreign
ers who have no interest here except
the money they draw from the Unit
ed Mine Workers were given to un-
derstand that they will not be al
lowed to tell our citizens what they
can and cannot do, or TO pillagc and
burn any more.
THE citizens of tins country have
a right to be considered in the settle
ment of any question that pertains to
the welfare of the public. but these
foreigners who have no rights in the
making of our laws should have
nothing to say about the enforcing
of them. but still should be made to
abide by them as long as they stay
