Staunton tell you about Vivian?"

Gus people on earth are lovers Of
Justice and peace? 1t is a gift to
the world, which might be incar-
nadined with blood if these vast
millions should, like Japan, adopt
the insane arts of modern war;
and it is a lesson for all nations
and all generations. 1t is as If
the fever of strife had burned
itself out from the blood Of the
Chinese; surely in this matter
they are farther from the jungle
that we of the west, who invent
new modes of corporate murder
every day.
How they must smile as Europe
commits hara-kiri in kindness to
the east! 1t is true they are now
at war and Europe is now at
peace; but it is Europe that made
the war, and it is they who will
make the peace.

SLASH IN COAL
FREIGHT Rates
TO CITY URGED
Attorney Believes Fight
Would Save 100000 a
Year to Consumer.

Annual saving of 100000 to In
dianapolis manufacturers and other
local coal consumers would result II
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion should be prevailed upon to
reduce coal freight rates from 1nd1-
ana mines to Indianapolis as 1t did
recently between these mines and
HoopeSton, Ill.
This is the opinion of Isaac Born,
attorney, Sis Occidental Bldg, who,
with his son, Ferdinand Born, sue
cessfully carried the significant
Hoopeston case before the interstate
commission.
I'm the face of the decision OF
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in the recent coal rate case in
volving rates to Chicago and Indl-
ana points in which relief to the
latter was denied. the order in the
Hoopeston case is of singular i'm
portance to Indiana consumers,
said Born.
Il
"Coal rates are very important
factor in the decision of industries
considering factory locations" he
said. Indianapolis for many years
has been at q decided disadvantage
In this respect. If the matter were
prepared, presented and pursued
properly I believe coal rates from
Indiana mines to Indianapolis con-
guIners could be reduced Is or pos
sibly Is cents ton under the pres
ent rate-or in other words to about
81 ton"
The order in the Hoopeston case
was a boon to Indian mine opera
tors. The reduction ordered will
mean a saving of about $40 on a car
load.
Born today received a copy of an
order by the interstate commission
In another case he presented before
It affecting commodity rates on
fertilizers. He represented the E.
Rauh & Sons Fertilizer Company in
the action against the Akron, Can
ton & youngstown Railroad Com
pany and others.
Change Fertilizer Rates
The commission found that sixth
class rates on fertilizer in carloads
from Indianapolis to points in the
central territory had not been I'M
reasonable in the past, but were I'M
reasonable for the future. A new
schedule of reduced rates was
ordered and reparation denied.
The Indiana State public service
commission Thursday concurred in
the findings of the interstate body.

CHAPTER VI.

TUT of the simple soil Of
China a rare flower grows;
the most courteous and
gentle civilization in history.
What is it that in the midst of
poverty has ennobled the China
man? Three things-love OF
family. love of learning and love
of peace. Honor thy father and
thy mother, that thy days may
be long in the land;;" it has not
been true of the individual in
China, but it has been true of the
race; the unity of the family pre-
served the Chinese as it preserved
the Jews. Kindness" says the
Chinese, "is greater than law"
and the family is to them more
vital than the State.
To strengthen the family as the
prop and base of social organiza-
ton, the Chinese went as far as
the Romans and gave the father
unlimited power. To the woman
they gave not power, but
reverence; and though Chinese
women did not indulge in politics.
they found (if infanticide did not
get them every consideration in
youth and age.
I|lET they missed for the most
~ part the romance OF love
L. and the pride of monog-
amy; for in China, till our own
days, a man might have con-
cubines as well as a wife.
Betrothal was by the parents;
not till the wedding did the bride
or groom see one another's face;
for the lifting of her veil was the
last act of the long marriage
ceremony.
Every Chinese girl in her
growth compressed her feet from
north to south; our girls compress
their feet from east to west; each
thinks the other foolish, and
doubtless both are right. Chinese
women smoked as much as the
men, and it was considered I'M
womanly for woman not to wear
trousers, and indicate for man
not to have skirts. Each lady
painted and primped and dressed
as much as her joint husband
could afford; and the philosophers
ragged and wrote aphorisms.
'The good looking woman needs
no paint" they pleaded, vainly;
and then they added, bitterly,
"Three-tenths of good looks are
due to nat re: seven-tenths to
dress"
1.-THE family was held to-
II gether, even when the
IL state decayed, by the ON
impotence of the father and the
religion of ancestor worship that
bound both living and dead in an
inviolable unity.
Very often the land was held
in common by the family and
transmitted whole, SO that eco
nomic interest helped religious
piety. to keep the family one.
Given this universal element OF
filial loyalty, and 1T made little
difference that some of the peo-
pie were Buddhists, some OF them
Taoists,> some of them Moham-

theology.
