In this connection 1t Is pointed out
also that feeding straw In the winter
win insure under certain clrcum-
stances the full utilization Of summer
grass. In q number OF western
states it frequently happens that grass
goes to waste because feeders are un-
willing to pay the high prices asked
for steers In the spring. With an
abundance Of straw on hand to lessen
the cost of wintering, feeders can take
advantage Of the lower prices for
etocker cattle in the fall to secure
On reasonable terms at that time

Astonishing Waste.

rBy Associated Press1

PEKING, China, Sept. 5.-Li Yuan
hung, once president of the Chinese
republic, possesses today less power
here than the 1loWliest coolie. He is
prisoner in the capital of the land
over which he once ruled, and for
the first time in many years he holds
no office, and except for that Of
Prince WI vi, he holds no title.
1t is Ii Yuan-hung's desire to leave
Peking and seek rest in Tientsin, but
the government has repeatedly denied
this request. Premier Tuan Chi-iui
and Acting President Feng Kwo-chang
apparently have no intention of al.
lowing the veteran warrior to depart
for any settlement where he would
be in a position to communicate with
the reVolutionists in the south. Tho
government is said to realize how po-
tent the name of Ii Yuan-hung would
be were he to be made president of
southern republic 81 a as Sun Vat
sen, Tang Shaggy, Z. T. Wang and
other Kuomintang leaders are en-
deaVoring to establish in Canton.
Since he surrendered the presi-
dency month ago and allowed Gen
eral Chang Hsun to take over the
central government, Ii Yuan-hung has
divided his time between the French
hospital and his homo in the Tartar
city, without the walls of the Forbid
den City. He also took refuge for a
short time in the Japanese legation,
and he handsomely rewarded the jap
anese soldiers and officers who pro-
tected him in the trying period when
the Republicans were ousting the
boy emperor, Hsuan Tung, and over
throwing the shortlived monarchy set
up by Chang Hsun
Lii Yuan-hung's illness was not ser
ious enough to make his retirement
to the hospital necessary. But the
French hospital is in the legation
quarter. 1t is under the protection
of the foreign guards. And Ii Yuan
hung was not the only Chinese who
was ailing at the time conditions were
so unsettled outside of the foreign set
Element Hotels, hospitals, legations
and private houses within the lega-
tion quarter were filled to overflow
ing when Tuan Chi-jui'S troops moved
against Peking on July II.
During the years that Ii Yuan-hung
served as vice-president under Yuan
Shih-kai, his position was much the
same that 1t is at present. 1t is true
he then held the title of vice-presi-
dent, but it was shallow honor. He
had no power. He had no freedom.
Most of those years were passed in
an isolated place ON an island in the
Forbidden City. He was seldom per-
mitted to leave the walled compound.
No visitors saw him without the per.
mission of the all powerful Yuan
Shih-kai, who lived in the mainland
in a palace Ii Yuan-hung could see

Japan's Good Message

The first utterances of the parliamentary COM
missioners on visit to country ring true with
sincerity of purpose and and laudabe enthusiasm
for establishing cooperation and mutual under
standing among the great peoples that border the
Pacific
Hawaii has proved that the mutual understand
ing is not only possible but thoroughly practical
in community life. Our only difficulty has been
the hesiancy of japan to let 60 it's hold upon it's
own people and allow them to become Americans
in fact through complete assimilation with the
American community of their adoption or their
birth.
This has been overcome to quite an extent by the
action of the Japanese government regarding the
right of its people to become citizens of other
tries. But we naturally expect our citizens to be
All American.
The leader of the japanese mission is we'll spoken.
He cannot do better than to amplify the cordial
message of Viseount Ishi and use his arts of persu
aston to convince the thoughtless and the doubtful
of the mainland that the declarations will be fol-
lowed at whatever point desired by cordial and un-
selfish action.

Defeat of the La Toilette amendment
followed a bitter nttack upon both the
