KAISER'S AMBITION

AS boy, the Kaiser was the favo-
rite grandchild of Queen Victoria, and,
when on his visits to England. his fa-
vorite haunts were the Portsmouth
dockyards. He received many honors
on his accession to power, but none
delighted him so much as the Queens
act in creating him an admiral of the
British fleet. No German suffered
greater humiliation than the Kaiser
at the wretched showing made by
German warships in comparison with
those of other Powers at the naval dis
play which opened the Kiel Canal in
1895. Again, when the British fleet.
in the South African war. held up"
several German vessels which were
attempting to carry on trade with the
Beers. none was quite so furious as
the Emperor-furious because the
overwhelming naval power of Eng
land made it impossible to do any
thing except to swallow the insult

This is not the place to go at all

the rise of new self-conscious and

China has not been alert in thus Of
ficially furthering and utilizing the
friendship of her missionaries as

A few years ago an effort was made
to secure the presence of Colonel
Roosevelt as a visitor to China, as a
guest of the Chinese Government. the
expectation being that he would get a
hearing for China's cause with the
American public. Tentative overtures
were made to the American State De-
partment during Secretary KnoX's re-
gimc but the Chinese officials said
that they were not encouraged to pur-
sue their project.
Now, however. the whole case is as
suming a new front. Perhaps the sue
cessful plea of the Korean Christians
to the Christians of America, when
they were in peril, has quickened the
zeal OF the Chiense Christians in call
ing upon their fellow Christians in
America for practical fellowship in

u mas been suggested, however. that th6re is no need for the council to adopt an Ordinance specifically granting the company permission to operate with one-man crews. The re- peal of l,h2 presEnt ordinance de- mandlng the employmnt Of motormen and conductor on each car, it is said, will be sufficient. With. that ordi- nance repealed, there will be no ordi- nance i'll effect which would limit or sbrldge in any way. the car com pany's right Or privilege to man it's cars to suit itself and it's own desires.
 The "Drumming'' Question.
 It is expected also that the council will be called upon to repeal an old ordinance, which prohibits the use Of solicitors and salesmen on the streets in front of business houses. in the practice commonly known as drum ming.'
 Complaint against this practice was made some time ago to the council, in a petition, numerously signed by merchants and presented to the council. City Attorney Wood an- nounced there was and is an ordi- nance already on the books prohibit ing this practice. The ordinance was immediately ordered enforced by the chief of police.
 Merchants who cater particularly to the country trade, and especially those who number many negroes among their customers, are reported to object to the ordinance, and these are expected to appear before the council to urge that the ordinance be repealed.
