history first began to record the daeds
OF man power was the parent Of
wealth; now wealth begets power
and now as then the rules of law have
little strength to bind those who hold
IN tneir hands the power to guide the
destlnies of men and nations.
The people Of America are tho
most legislated against people on
earth," states the Rotarian writer.
and what he says is true. and vet
the people are supposed to direct the
legislation Of the nation. That thew
do not is self-evident, for no man or
set OF men would be so foolish as IN
legislate against themselves. They
are iegislated tat not for nor "by"
With many OF the laws of the nation
and OF the various states the people
are not in sympathy. Some of our
laws, although they have the apparent
sanction of the majority, are never
theiess, the most tyranical ever i'm
posed upon any people at any time.
Down deep in our hearts we know
them to be tyranical--those who can.
BY reason of their position or their
wealth afford 20 violate them do so
with impunity. Laws which practi-
caily all OF us regard as essential to
the well-being of the community are
violated by wealthy citizens, who can
afford to pay the price Of expensive
and learned lawyers and their ac-
quittal rs a foregone conclusion, even
when their guilt is plain, either in
the trial courts or the courts of ap-
peal.
In the administration of the law
rather than in the multiplicity of
laws is born that disrespect which is
fatal to good and bad laws alike, and
which is the gravest danger menacing
our nation today.

BISHOP PARTRIDGE
TELLS OF ORIENT
Work of Missionaries Con.
verts Yellow Race to
Christianity.

His experiences and conclusions
after 20 years in the Orient were
given by the Right Reverend Sid
ney CatEn Partridge. ID. ID. bislop
or West Missouri, at the 1900 O'Clock
service at St James Church, sun
day morning
His theme was based on America
and the Orient Just how much
America has done for the Orient
through the missionaries which she
sent forth to preach the gospel Of
Christianity was eloquently told by
the bishop. The yellow races. their
Customs and ideals were spoken Of
in a spirit OF friendly interest. The
march OF western civilization in the
far east was described as going hand
IN hand with the advancements OF
Christian religion by the Episcopal
dignitary. The work of the mis-
sionaries was spoken of as the foun-
dalton OF the adaptation CT western
civilization by the people OF Japan.
Slow TO Heed
THE Japanese were slow to take
heed to the words OF the mission
aries when they began their work
among Them" he said. Fifty years
ago difficulty was experienced on ac-
count Of the caution with which peo-
pie of this nation took up ideas
from the west. The great test which
they applied TO all customs and ideas
from this side OF the Pacific ocean
was one OF adaptability and whether
or not the thing worked among
them. Now, however, they took TO
these more readily because during
recent years they were becoming
more convinced and the work of the
missionary was legs difficult"
Bishop Partridge has been a mis-
sionary of the Episcopal church in
both China and Japan While in
the Orient he was cOnsecrated as
the Missionary Bishop of Kyoto, ia
pan, which place he held until he
was called TO the diocese Of West
Missouri a few years ago.
