Why America Succeeds in China

Why America Succeeds in China.
"Chinese-Japanese friendship has
long been oRIthe lipsxof both Japanese
and Chinese, but with little result"
says the Tokyo Niehi-nichi: Equally
true it is that feeling of reliance on
America is growing apace in China"
The editor then explains the situation
by mentioning the consideration shown
to China by the government of the
United States in renouncing the Boxer
indemnity, in generous treatment Civ
en- to Chinese students, and In Amer
lean educational work carried on in
China. The chief reason which is de.
laying the realization of Chinese-sap-
anese cOrdiality, the editor thinks, is
that the Chinese do not accurately I'M
derstand how necessary is political and
economic friendship for the good of
the two countries. Japan needs raw
materials and has money enough to
pay for them, while China's resources
are inexhaustible, but she has no mon
ey to develop them. Then, too, the
Russian menace is at Chinas front
door. In conclusion, the editor of the
Nichi-nichi urges a Chinese-Japanese
chamber of commerce.

mentary reform. Eleven were killed

The Voice.

Some expert announces that the hui

different muscles. 1t might be added
that when those forty-four muscles are
not co-ordinating as they should the
resulting sound often produces violent
agitation in at least fOrty-four different
nerves in the party of the second part,

Wisdom in Tolerance.

The tolerant man is the open-mind-
ed man, the mentally-balancedA man,
the understanding man. He knows that
ne himself is not the sole repository
of human wisdom. He knows that
wisdom will not die when he does. he
knows that usually he can learn some
thing from the humblest of his assO-
ciates.

TantaIum's Great Value.

Tantalum, owing to it's hardness,
makes good material for writing pens,
which are less expensive than iridium
tipped gold nibs. Pens from this metal,
treated with a special hardening proc
ess, prove superior to all others, and
are not corroded by any inks.

The situation in the senate with re-

much worse than in the house.
The senate has devoted many hours

being made to jam important legis-

Both houses and the president arr
convinced that there will have to be
an extra session of the. stxty-sixth
congress early in the summer. The
only point in disagreement In this
matter ID as to how soon the extra
session should be called. The Re-
publtcans by reason Of the fact that
they will assume control of both
houses are anxious to have the session
called early that they may get down
to work and take UP the problems oil

willing to have the congress In seq
sion while he Is abroad and for that
reason has announced that he will not
call for an extra session until after
his return from the peace conference
So far an the Democrats are con-
cerned. the ablest leaders in that
party are almost as willing as are he
Republicans that the extra session
should begin right away. They want
to see the Republicans take up the
burden Which the Democratic party
has shouldcred for the past seven
