THE CHINA QUESTION There teems lobe a disposi tion on 'be part of some to mis represent the position of the ad ministialion on the China ques tion by representing it as favor ing a change in oar present ex clusion laws, so as to admit Chinese laborers into the Unit ed States. - Neither the presi dent nor any member of his cabinet has advocated a change in these laws, but what they do eea is toat tnose laws be ad ministered with justice, and in a spirit or manliness so not to nullify solemn treaty obligations which we have made with China The troaty our government made with China in 1880guar- anteed equality with other for eigners to Chinese students, teachers, merchants and travel ers and to laborers already in the United States. By the treaty of 1891 China conseuted . that we might for ten years prohibit the entrance of Chinese labor ers. , This treaty expired last December and bas not been re newed . The treaty of 1880 permitted the United States to "regulate limit or suspend" the immigration of laborers but not prohibit it. Congress, however ii 1882, acting uuder the "Sus pension claim in the treaty of 1880 prohibited the immigra tion of Chiueae laborers, coolies for ten years, made the law more rigid in 1883, extended it for ten years in 1892, and in 1002 again extended it for ten yean with additional restrictions Notwithstanding we now have no treaty with China giving its couaeut for the exclusion of laborers the Chinese have to far made no objection to the execu tion of our law of 1902 exclud ing coolies, but tuey do insist on the fulfillment on our pirt, of the treaty of 1880 whereby we agreed to treat Chinese teachers merchants aud travelers the same as persons of the same classos belonging to the most favored treaty nations. The complaint of Chin is that we do not so treat iheiu, but uudor the pretext that they are coo.iei deny them the rights enured by the treaty of 13 SO. Because of this failure ou our party to carry out treaty obli gations the great merchantile houses and guilds propose to boycott the United States aud practicably cutoff all commer cial relations with our people In 1903 our trade with China amounted to $45,547,009. A BIO COUNTRY To be a citizen of as large a country as the United Ktae now is requires much geogra phical knowledge. Our new pon sesnons in the Philippines Islands renders it necessary io know something about the more than 1700 islands that compote the groupe scattered . over an ocean breadth of 832,968 square miles. The land area of.tboee islands is approximately 115,026 quare miles, aland surface 20, 4G9cqaare miles, greater than Oregon. These Islands have ' a much larger population than Oregon being 7,635,420 in 1903 of these 6,987,686 are'clasied as civilized. A population nearly double tbatofthe United Stales when Washington was president 1 BIG VALUES IN EMBROIDERY .

Taft is setting him self a pretty big stunt, but in view of his own record as Gov ernor of the Philippines, there is grouud for thinkiug he will succeed. Frightened by the indications of a popular uprising, many of the bureaucrats of Russia have sent their families abroad where they will be safe in the event of a geueral upheaval. That shows how profoundly the Russian mind has been affected by the sgitution that has been in pro gress so long. The flight of those families suggests the emi gration from France at the close of the eighteenth century when rivers of I lood wore runuing in the streets of lris, ihe stro uus being tinged with much from the bluest veins of the realm.
