LANTERNS IN CHINA.
OF All Sizes, Shapes and Prices, They
Are In Common Use.

Are In Common Use.
Particularly gay and attractive are
the shops of the lantern vendors in the
Chinese cities.
All varieties of lanterns are to be-
seen-the large silken ones three and
four feet high, ~gorgeously painted with
v~ariegatcd colors, embroidered in gold
and silver or decorated with deep
fringe OF the same material, costing
from 500 to 5000 and used by the
wealthy mandarins and others. and
common small horn and paper lanterns.
used by the coolies, which cost one
sixteenth of a dollar.
The mode of making horn lanterns is
very ingenious; the horns are cut into
remarkably thin slices which, by
means of heat and pressure, are joined
together and formed into various
shapes; round. square. hexagon, octa,
gon, and some shaped to resemble an
hourglass.
1t is usual for servants, after sunset,
to carry before their masters large
lanterns made either of horn or highly
vanished paper, With the name, title
and dignities painted in large letters
thereon.
At the feast of lanterns, which takes
place in the early part of TIL, Chinese
New Year, these lantern shop pro
prietors reap a rich harvest. as 1T is
customary for parents to make pres
ents of lanterns 10 their children
brother to sister. friend to friend, in.
ferior to superior, and vice versa.

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

The republican party, whose delegates
met in Chicago and nominated a candi-
date to oppose President Wilson next
November, was confronted with a stu
alton such as no political party has ever
faced, 1t was admittedly poverty
stricken in the matter of campaign
issues.
The platform which the resolutions
committee reported Thursday is, to be
generous, innocuously weak. 1t does
not present a single item on which a
fight can be waged by passing fair OF
position to democracy offered. 1t is as
pitifuI to contemplate as Chairman
Harding's keynote" speech, which
even the republican adherent press has
criticised as a meaningless tumble of
words affirming nothing and denying
as much.
The nearest approach to a solid issue
was found in the declaration in favor
of woman suffrage, but the
props were violently removed from
even that when certain faint hearted
delegates insisted on a compromise
that fixes the obligation on the states.
Like all the rest of the proceedings
of the convention.
The platform declares for Ameri,
canism that shall be uncompromising
toward "hyphenates," plainly evolv
ed from President Wilson's expressed
opinions on the subject. 1t declares
for peace with honor, not at any
price. and in this endorses President
Wilson's International diplomacy
which has had no other object. II
declares in favor Of woman suffrage
to be procured through state action,
which President Wilson long ago told
the women was the only proper and
hopeful way. 1t savors the establish
ment of an International court to
settle disputes, the DEGREES of the
court to be carried out by an inter.
national army and navy. an idea
which originated in, or at least
emanated from the white house. 1t
declares in favor Of a budget system
Of nalappropriationi which
prominent democrats in congress
have advocated for a number OF
years.
The platform promises adequate
preparedness, including a navy cap
able of defending both coasts, which
is deliciously funny since it was re-
publican misrule that tumbled our
navy into its present inadequate
place. It fayors federal control Of
all transportation systems. after ridi-
