Advising China at
So Much Per

WHY not be an adviser to China
with a good salary? All you
nave to do to get such a sinecure,
according to Ellen N. La Notes
Picking Dust" Century, is to have
your government bring little pres
sure to bear on China. In chapter
Of her book written in Picking. Miss
La Motto says: "There is a quaint
custom here, which. as far as ]
know, is unique in the history of in
ternational relations. That is the
custom of giving advice to China
Any country can do it, apparently.
Any country that thinks China
would be benefited by a little dis
interested and helpful counsel can
see that she gets it-and that she
pays for it, too. Any person whf
wishes a lucrative position can X
his government 70 appoint him p
an adviser to China, and his gov
eminent will see to it that China
pays him a salary. AS far as
know, China does not ask for this
advice; it is thrust upon her UNI
sought. But she must pay for the
privilege, whether she likes it or not
So over they come, these various
advisers from various foreign ma
tons, and settle down here in Pc
king as the official advisers Of this
and that, and draw their salaries
from this bankrupt old governme NJ.
The China Year Book for 1915
gives a list of twenty-five such adj
visers, British, American, French.
Russian, German, Italian, Japanese.
Danish, Belgian, and Swedish. Ns'
wonder the poor old Chinese gov
eminent is distraught and, as soma
one said last evening, in a state "
anarchy. Who wouldn't be in 4 '
circumstances2"

While it is the practice Of the mod

to drill pupils in rudimentary educa-
ton, there are no points in the creed
or philosophy Of the anarchist that are
withheld from the student. The ques-
tons of all children touching upon
those affairs of state in which they may
be interested are promptly explained
by an anarchist. Hence they are grad
uated with a consciousness "of their
social rights and obligations in a way
that state owned or religious schools
can never hope to achieve" to borrow
a phrase from their master

The farm is typical American

Cuba, from nearby Albany, from
Buffalo, New York and New Jersey,
from Nova Scotia and from Cleye-
land come sons of Cubans, English
men, Scotchmen, Irishmen, Ger
mans, Swcdes, Hebrews and the
rest of the world-people who have
made the United States the great
democracy it is.

no distinction either as to race or
creed. 1t is Christian without being
UNCONVENTIONAL. The teaching Of

than any specific dogma or phase
Of theology. A feature of this ap-

The stelton anarchist is lean of fig

weighing possibly 100 pounds and
standing about five feet. He has an
unusual face. 1t is like an inverted

Kelly is Il wise bird in the field of

such occasions he is a perphrastic
conversationalist. If there is an in

Negro Is Returned
 to Phillips County

Will Miller, the negro arrested near Tamo Saturday night by Sheriff c. M. Nichol and deputies on a war rant charging complicitv in the mur- ders at Hoops Spur, Phillips county, was taken to Helena yesterday by Special Agents Frazer and Graves of the Missouri Pacific, acting for Sheriff Frank Kitchens of Phillips.
 Miller, who seemed tormented by fear or the memory of the shooting, was so distraught that it was neces- sary for a physician to vive him "a shot in the arm" before he could be quieted sufficiently to be handcuffed and shackled.
 The negro denies he had any part in the uprising, and moaned repeated lv, q ain't don nuthin'," I ain't hurt nobody"
 In requesting the arrest of Miller, who was found at the home of his brother-o -ol-law. Peter King, Sheriff Kitchen told Sheriff Nichol the negro was wanted on a charge of murder.
