Mr.. Editor:
I want to congratulate you on the
Improvement in the paper, and par
ticularly do I wish to thank you most
heartily for the very strong and
forceful editorials in last weeks pa
per on "Another Attack on an I'm
pregnable Fortress, and "The Hobo
at Church." In this present age,
when some men are using their little
brains in a silly and futile effort to
undermine the foundations Of Chris
tianity, apparently oblivious of the
fact that the structures which they
are seeking to raise are built only on
shifting sands, the Christian editor
has wonderful, God-given, opportuni-
ties to reflect far and wide the light
from the Sun of Righteousness, thai
the weaker ones may take fresh cour-
age and build on the Rock Of Ages
Would that there were more editors
with the courage Of their convictions.
and yet we have reason to be proud OF
the very many who have that courage
I am more than glad to have some
concrete examples of the "Hobo" a.
church, showing that real Christianity
is just as real today as it ever was.
Very truly yours,
M. MARGARET TRUTH.

Nnnsfon Excess.


Hackers and truck drivers have
tough time. like the little boy
with stingy father. When the
kid walked, father beat him for
wearing out shoe leather; when he
sat down, walloped him for wear
ing out his pants; If he stayed in
bed, whaled him for being lazy.
Brought in a hacker the other
day and fined him $40 for driving
too slow; next day fined sone $40 for
speeding; last month soaked one
$40 for vagrancy, and last week
had one up for seeking employ
ment. They're damned If they do
and damned If they don't and
damned if there's any way out of
it. What these hackers ought to
do is prove a alleybi, Samivel my
boy, prove a alleybi.
Truck driver tells boss brakes are

Boss says Take this load down to

condition" the boss says Get
the II out of here You're
fired If he cbeys orders, and
has an accident. as he will sooner
or later, the cop says Come along
with me. You're pinched."
So the driver is in a Dilemma,
which is Greek for helluva fix.
Looks like the bad brakes ought
to be up to the boss. And per-
mits, too. The boss knows wheth-
er the man he sends out is a
regularly ordained chauffeur or

In China the president is elected
by parliament.
Tsao Kun becomes president in
succession to Lii Yuan Hung, who
quit his office and fled to Tientsin
last spring because Of the
ing situation in Picking brought
about by the militarists. At the
time of LIS a~bdication the mill
t~arists. who he had opposed. had
made a show of force by engineer
ing a strike OF the metropolitan
police force and threatening further
disorder unless the president left.
1t was freely predicted that Tsao
Kun would become president, and
there were several futile efforts to
assemble enough members Of par
lament to make a quorum. Mean
while. for three months. China has
been without a president.
L Yuan Hung. appearing recently
at Shanghai in the midst of numer-
gus members of parliament favor
able to him. announced that he still
was the legal president and planned
to confer with southern and north
ern leaders in an effort to unite
the country.
Tsao Kun is 60 years OF age.
Thirty-five years ago he was a COM
mon soldier. An officer, attracted
by the qualities of leadership dis
played in the youth. authorized that
he be sent TO a military school. He
proved such a good student that
after graduation no taught for a
time in the same school. Later he
directed a training school for SOL
diers of the old Manchu Court. Tsao
Kun then became successfully regi.
mental. brigade and division com
mander
In 1911 he aided in suppressing
the first revolution IN Shihli pro
vince. In 1915 no offered unsuc-
cessful opposition to General Tsao
40. the restorer Of the republic,
who was fighting the imperalistic
movement Of Yuan Shih-Kai.
Tsao Kun then was made military
governor of Chilli. In 1917 he was
commander OF the troops of several
provinces in the war against the
south.
1t has long been regarded as Tsao
Kun's ambition to be president.
