CIRCULATION (SWORN) OVER 4000
SEED
TO CONTROL THE ORIENT. !
Ulshop X. M;. Thoburn, 'the missionary
of the Methodist church, who has spent
..more then the' span of an average life
In the Orient, and who is one of the
greatest men of his time. In bis sphere
of work, said In his sermon at the
Methodist church In Salem on Sunday
evening that the Chinese are the com
ing men of the Orient and that Chinese
Christians are settling Borneo and rep
resentatives of that race are going Into
all the countries of: that part of The
world, and even Into central Africa.
J!e did not mean that the Chinese are
- the comlng men In a military sense. He
meant In a business and industrial1
sense. The Chinese are shrewd li
. business and industrious and Ingenious
- in w ork. In these partiulars .they are
different from -most other peoples . In
Ihe tropical" and semi-tropical coun
tries. They are now largely the, mer
chants and moneyed men of the Orien
tal countries, and their hold : s" con-1
stantty being strenghtened, ; In the
nature, of things, this Will go on. Per
haps this is not encouraging to mission
ary 'effort in those regions, for the, Chi
nese have a religion of "their own, or
rather two or thtee. religions, and the

NAVAL CHANGES OF TEN YEARS.
The Naval Annual 'for 4903. discusses
the relative naval forces of the. princi
pal nations and points out again - the
Very well-known fact that the past ten
year have brought1 radical changes.
In 18&2. the "only Heot ihat cou.ld be
compared with the Iirititsh was the fleet
of Prance. Itussia came, next, theri
Italy; Germany and the United States
were jiegllglble quartities. Japan ha
not yet begun the bull. ling of its navy,
purlng; theso ten years 'Kngland ' has
maintained her supremacy over France
.while France Is ' less advantageously
placed with respect to other Powers.' ,
When building - programmes ' already
decided updn are v completed Russia,
Germany and the United States will all
possess more battleshipaof thej, first
class than France. Francs has. lately
concentrated her efforts on th. con
struction of armored cruisers and will
"soon have thirteen of this class, to three
for Germany and nine for the United
Statesv; - - - ' - -. .
The tirltlsh. fleet counts twenty-nine
first-class battleships : completed, as
arainst -seventeen for France and Rus
sia combined. England has forty-one
first-class cruisers built and building.
aS against thirteen for France, fifteen
for Russia and Bixteen for Germany.
Great Rritain and Japan together
have forty-seven armor-clada of the
first -clas, against forty-four for Itus
si;i, France and Germany,. "J ' . ,
The conclusion of the, Naval Annual
is that If the United States Is counted
out as a potsiblt; ciwmy of Great I?rlt
ain. the !.iU-r country is alrcad strong
iuni.:h to n'-et any coalition;

' WHAT IS REAL VIRTUE, i
' : To a man.whos drgestlon la not out
of repair," and who Is making money,
hm-irt" 'nature does not 'appear very
low and despicable. "One must recog
nize the good In most ""en. There
ire very few downright villains out
tfde of melodrama; villains, that Is,
who have made evil their good, and
who are bad because they wish to be
bad. ; Even , the . convicts In a prison
nre very like other , people and have
their good traits as well as their bad
ones.- It seems, sometimes, to be a
mere matter of chance whether cer
tain traits will land a man la high of
(Ice, orf top of a pile of his own dollars,
or to a secure place behind prison bars.
"Only extreme pessimists' will' deoy
that tnenwhen 'their Choice "Is tree.
and personal interest does not.. Inter
vene to cloOd lhelr Judgments, are dis
posed rather, to - truth than to "false
hood. to honesty, rather than to dls
honesty tff virtue rather than to sin.
Put even extreme optimists must ad
mlt that much that passes for virtue Is
not virtue -at all, but merely mbral in
ertia. An; exchange insists that the
virtue which consists In lack of temp
tation and opportunity is not. real vir
tue. We call a man honest If he Is not
a thief, but, truly considered, he Is" not
honest unless he has been tempted to
steal and has not stolen. ' When a
man has never felt a desire to steal
it is not much of a merit In' him that
he has refrained from stealing'. So.
when we praise a man for sobriety, we
should, consider whether he ever has
had ' the toper's - thirst to . contend
against. It Is all very well for a
smug teetotaler who has never asted
liquor to compare himself with the poor
irunkard, but he might tlot be so sure
of hlmeelf were he, too, cursed with
desire for drink, and had he. top, to
contend against temptation. It Is easy
to rout the demon rum when It does not
fight back. -? "'--' j . t f.;
Of course untempted' J rectitude s
very worthy and respectable, and the
man who is naturally yfrtnous Is to be
envied. Just as a man Is to be .envied
for superior mental or physical ability.
Bur the real virtue Is that which con
quers temptation, which battles day
and. night against desire and lays " it
low. . The real hero is the man who
overcomes? his vices and passions, who
wrestles with desire and. throws it- Ho
la the one who has a right to exult
but he, generally, is humble and diffi
dent. It Is the man who never knew
real temptation that boasts most loudly
of his virtue. The man who has once
had a hand-to-hand ". set to with , the"
devil, even when he triumphs, is too
breathless and spent for taunting And
too full of awe of Ihe devil's' strength
for exultation. .He fears" that the devil
might come back and renew the struggle.-
-
The battle between a heroic soul and
strong temptation is one of the most
terrible conflicts in human experience.
Those battles, usually, are fought; in I
silence and la the depths of the mind, j
No clash of arms, no struggle that the
world sees. Is half so fierce or. calls for
so much fortitude and courage as do
those secret" moral battles. While we
are talking to a .man, while1 we , are
commenting on his necktie or his hat,
perhaps at that very moment the arch
angel and the dragon are fighting their
endless controversy within his breast.
The man who has come victorious
through battles such as these is '. the
only one who has true charity for the
prinner, and who can fully-understand
the counsel, Judge not lest ye," too, be
judged." . How much real virtue and
rifal charity is- there in the world ?
Tfiere- are relatively few people who
reslst'temptatioB. Most-of us '
Atone for sins we are Inclined to
By &
amning those We hare no mind to."

The wonder Is that such strait-laced
world citizens support their own fam
Hies Instead of others. .- t
; Then these .grasping ; Germans, not
content . with getting preference, for
their own goods at home, purpose car
rying on aggressive campaigns In all
other 'countries. It Is painful to see
how they differ from our tariff reform
ers.- who are dead-sure that protection
to borne Industries Is utterly incom
patible with export trade. True.4 the
figures of our, export. trade, don't seem
to agree exactly with their . theories,
but there is only a small discrepancy
of a billion dollars or so between them.
. The last . papagraph Of this German
confession of faith is particularly fool
Ish, according to the doctrines of ortho
dox free traders. Have they not as
sured us that the more money you send
abroad the better," since-it proves that
you are buyitig In the cheapest market
and. that is "the way to prosper? - "In
plain business - language, say these
Oermans, " weT mean to keep our money
at heme and 'try to bring in all the
foreign money we can. It is only, when
these, cardinal points are completely
obtained that we can speak of a lasting
German prosperity" ', ' :' : ' J:
Sounds like a Republican convention
platform. Intelligent Germans" since
the days of Bismarck have , been mov
ing along that line. They have had an
uphill ' Job and have obstacles yet in
their road, but Jbe!r-views are sound
and patriotic. ThatHs 'why we com
mend theni"to the "free traders, whose
views, are deficient in both' qualities.
