China Carries On.

DR.. welch's account Of the inchoate
condition of China contained the
usual statement. always astonishing.
that the Chinese are carrying on"
without much regard for what is hap
pening in the field Of government and
politics America has learned to ac-
cept this statement on the theory that
the Chinese are stolid fatalists. but
one sometimes wonders whether, after
all, the truer explanation may not be
that the Chinese have simply learned
to put first things flrst-that Is. to
regard making a living as OF more
Importance than arguing about ma
tional policies. A Chinese might well
wonder what benefit can be had from
adopting the customs of the western
nations since they, with all their po-
litical sagacity, are unable to regu-
late their affairs any better than the
careless millions of China He will
admit, Of course, that Europe, and
especially America, are materially
richer than China, but factories and
railroads are not politics. They are
business, and China will in time du-
plicate them. But as an example of
what politics and craftsmanship can
do he looks at Europe's distress and
meditates on the probable outcome of
the conference for the limitation OF
ornaments. Is China not challenging
the white races to prove that they
can really control their own destiny?

Turkey.

This is the first of the two great
days Of the year for the sacrifice Of
turkey, and the consideration of other
things. Today those whose purses
could afford turkey, and many per-
sons whose purses could not, have
already had their turkey or have
made arrangements to have it. Tur-
key is an accomplished fact. But, with
the memory Of the high price Of tur-
key fresh in mind, it might be appro-
pirate to jot down a few thoughts. It
Is really not necessary that every
American should eat the so-called ma
tional bird on the same day. It is
not the supreme test Of patriotism.
II there is such thing as e. national
bird he Is an eagle, and it has not
become our habit to eat eagles on the
Fourth Of July. The turkey-but why
called turkey, no man can tells
very much an American bird. Two
species, northern and southern, were
found here by sixteenth century ex-
plorerS and no bird like It was known
in Europe. Certain enterprising ex-
plorers carried some birds across the
sea and their breeding and domesti-
cation In Europe began before there
were any white settlers in America
to eat turkey.
Before and after the advent Of tur-
key or nogeo- European ancestors

graced their fete day tables with
swan. peacock. venison. goose and
other meats. We have lost the habit
of eating swan and peafowl. and veni-
son has become scarce. But goose is
still with us. and duck. guinea fowl
and chicken. We might spread tho
demand fer holiday fowl among those
creatures and lessen the peak load on
turkey. Old-fashioned people viii tes-
tify that roast goose is excellent and
some know that young guinea fowl
is most excellent. and all wives know
the uses to which duck and chicken
can be put.
The turkey is naturally a more ex-
pensive bird than goose, duck or
chicken. He is harder to raise. He is
only, one might say, half-domesticated
and he needs a greater "range"-that
is, more land to feed on and wander
over. He needs much attention. Often
it is necessary to hunt him up before
the sun goes down and bring him
home, else he will roost in far-of trees
and be stolen or turn wild, perhaps.
In his babyhood he is delicate little
creature. There is not much market
demand for him except at Thanks
giving and Christmas. He should not
be tabooed because some dealers seek
to use him to take advantage of mems
singular habits, but it might be a
good plan to encourage the raising of
more geese, ducks and chickens.
Nearly everybody can raise them and
comparatively few persons can raise
turkeys.

A Regulation Close.

In the House the session closed In
regulation fashion. The majority
leader pointed to the record with
pride. He guaranteed it. The coun-
try would benefit by 1t. Not per-
fect-it could not be perfect-it yet
represented thought and care in the
preparation, and would justify itself
in action.
The minority leader viewed the rec
ord with disfavor, If not with alarm.
Thanksgiving day would be the hap
pier because adjournment had brought
such a record to a close. It was so
bad, indeed, it had caused division in
the ranks of the party responsible
for 1t.
This was according to congressional
Hoyle. Such deliverances are always
expected, and expectation is never dis
appointed.
The result? Well, that depends.
The record, however praised on the
one hand and condemned on the other.
must, of course, stand the test Of
application. II the measures included
in it sustain the praise, the regulation
condemnation is forgotten. II they
fail in action the regulation praise Of
them is forgotten.

It Is said that none Of the Chinese

have attracted Belgian capital have
been failures. This is attributed to
the fact that men like Cattier. who
have counseled the investments. have
understood thoroughly the character

centuries Belgian missions have been
maintained In China. Invariably, al
lusions by Gather to commercial ex-
ploits are coupled with q reminder
of the interest Belgium has had from

Prohibition and the Next Congress

Prohibition and the Next Congress.
The signing by the President Of the
anti.beer bill defeats the latest effort
Of the vets to come back. They
fought the measure stoutly. Their
calculation was that Il they could put
beer over the way would be cleared
for something even more substantial
in the near future. The story Of the
camel and the tent was inspiring
them. II they could get their muzzle
inside the flap Of the tent they would
soon be in full possession.
What will be their next move? OF
course there will be next. The vets
are not easily discouraged. but pos
sess both resolution and resources.
They are the sort to pick their flints
and try again.
There may not be another move
made by them on Capitol Hill during
the life Of the present Congress. The
sentiment Of that body has been test
ed, and it shows the drys to be in
safe control.
We shall probably see both sides
concentrate on next years congress
sional campaigns. The vets, indeed.
are already organized. with the con.
troll of the Sixty-eighth Congress in
view; and. should they succeed, the
prohibition issue will become very
prominent again in the next presi.
Dental contest. For the next Con-
gress will organize on the eve, prac.
tically, of that contest, and what it
does at it's first session will enter
measurably into both of the party
platforms.
Meanwhile bootlegging, which has
become a profitable industry. will 60
on, and every other effort be made
to bring the prohibition law into con-
tempt. The drys should not overlook
or undervalue what their opponents
hold in their hands and have up their
sleeves.
