the use of his fellow citizens of China, is warmed by much the same form of enthusiasm that animated the half mythical Cadmus,

If ever an alphabet needed condensing and curtailing and censoring it would seem to be the alphabet of the Chinese. It is argued that it isn't properly an alphabet at all, but merely an endless jumble of^symbols. Each symbol in the original scheme represented a syllable, and each of the several hundreds of syllables had numerous variations. The result, as the western barbarian sees it, is a cumbersome collection of smears and sumdpes and camel's hair scrawls, that lopk both hopeless and grotesque.

Dr. Lam has been engaged upon his formidable task for six years not an unduly long period when It is remembered that the product he has turned out may be subjected to constant and severe usage for untold centuries. Six years certainly doesn't seem too long a time of preparation for the revision of an institution whose primal roots were planted 3,000 years before the Christian era.

Dr. Lam realizes that the present alphabet of his country is cumbersome. He knows that it is hampering to education, that it has added unreasonably to the bulk of annals and records, and that it niakes thg printer's task aggravatingly severe. He has evolved from the ancient collection an alphabet of fifty-six characters and has tried it out in Chinese schools in foreign cities, and gained for it the approbation of many oriental scholars.

Dr. Lam believes tha* China's present written language is a handicap in a fast moving world, and in his loyal endeavor to put it in harmony with a progressive age he strikes at its very fundamentals.

A CITY'S COMFORT.

A plan by which all the ice dealers in Dubuque are to empty, free of charge, a wagon load of ice into the reservoirs of the city waterworks every day promises to produce a cooler drinking fluid at the fountains and faucets, but that is not the only consideration.

A Cleveland paper recently, in commenting on the numerous drownings which occur as soon as the swimming and boating season opens, expressed the opinion that if more persons were expert in swimming it would materially reduce the number of deaths by drowning. A correspondent forthwith begs to differ.

He writes: "The truth is, ability to swim is directly responsible for perhaps 90 per cent of all cases of drowning. The explanation is simple. The great majority of deaths from drowning are due to cramps, unexpected holes or strong undercurrents the nepct biggest contributing cause being an inclination on the part of good swimmers to take hazardous chances. People who ian swim take all sorts of chances, consequently they form the great majority of those who meet death by drowning while those unfamiliar with swimming remain away from the water and are thereby saved. "Swimming is a nice accomplishment and good exercise, but if you will watch the records (as I have done for a period of twenty-five years) you will be convinced that the surest way to save people from drowning is to let swimming become a lost art."

REAL HELP.

State Senator W. S. Mercer, of Peru, than whom there was never a better republican in the state legislature, told the southeast district convention of dairymen the other day that the Moss rural credits bill was the greatest piece of constructive legislation in the federal statutes. "It will require a few years for us to realize the full value of this law," he told the dairyman, "and when we do fully appreciate what it has done for us we will be wilUng and anxious to build a monument to this splendid congressman."

The value of the law consists chiefly in its contribution to the productive end. At the foundation of all else is the farm. The rural credits is the law that gives the farmer, the man who has the most substantial of all securities

The dairymen were meeting at Connersville. They started in at once not only to thank Senator Thomas Taggart and Representative Moss for trying to

SEASON'S DROWNINGS.

The five drownings which so ar have been the toll of the Wabash for the swimming season raises the question as to the desirability of this accomplishment.

That there is a plausible argument against learning how to swim seems certain, although at is an accomplishment that every one would like to acquire, and which almost every one would if time sand opportunity were given.

Speaking of rural credits calls to mind that Candidate Hughes has not declared himself in favor of rural credits. He has not told any of his audiences that this is one of the many great accomplishments of the Wilson administration. As yet neither has he told the people of his opinion of the federal reserve.

HOW YOU VIEW IT.

T=ixas complains that the Mexicans j.re vile barbarians, for which reason some Texans want President Wilson to go to war with Mexico.

Last week the people of Waco, Tex., took a young negro boy and burned him alive in the public square. The boy was guilty of a peculiarly atrocious murder. He confessed. A jury expeditiously found him guilty. A judge immediately sentenced him to be hanged. And then people ofi Waco took him away from the officers of the law, chained him to a tree, burned him alive, and dragged his charred corpse about the town.

Waco is not a backwoods hamlet. It is a city of 26,000 people. It has, no doubt, its societies and its sororities and its sons and daughters of the confederacy. Perhaps it has a Carnegie library. It may have afternoon bridge clubs.

Metxico Is a land of illiteracy. It has no societies or sororities. It has no Carnegie libraries. It never heard of auction bridge. It believes in the firing squad as a means of political persuasion. It has no proper sense of the sanctity of human life.

But it does not burn people at the stake. It does not take criminals away from officers who are sworn to attend to the matter of punishment. It does not rejoice in cruelly murdering those whose lives are legally forfeited. It does not drag -charred corpses through the streets of its villages. It stands men asrainst a wall and shoots them down, and this is reprehensible enough, but it does follow some shadowy form of law.

The comparison is obvious and odious. Fortunately, Waco Is not a representative American citv, and Texas, if she stands for Waco, is not a representative American commonwealth. America, as a whole, is not beneath Mexico in civilization. And America as a whole may well feel resentment that one city and one state may indi-

BOATMAN IS IMPROVING.

Relief Up

Comes After Coughing Shot in Throat 54 Years.

Bv Special Correspondent. PARIS, 111., Aug. 12.—Mark Boatman, 71 years old, is improving rapidly since he coughed up a buckshot several days ago, which is said to have lodged his throat 54 yeq.rs a-jo when he was shot during the second battle of Corinth, Miss. Boatman was dispatched to take some prisoners to the rear of the line and as he was performing the duty he received the wound. He was taken to the hospital and physicians probed for the bullet but it was never found.

About four months ago Boatman's health began to fail and he suffered violent coughing spalls. Dr. W. A. Buchanan, who has been attending Mr. Boatman, said the shot probably worked its way from his throat into his lungs.

HOROSCOPE.

"The stars Incllns. But Do 'Mot Comnel."' Copyright, 1915, by the McClure

Newspaper Syndicate.

Sunday, August 13, 1916.

This js "not a fortunate day, according to astrology. It is well to pursue routine affairjs. Although Mercury is In beneflc aspect late in the evening, Uranus, the sun and Venus are all adsrse.

The rule is peculiarly unfavorable for association with persons whose influence is desired in any financial or philanthropic enterprise. It is not an auspicious time for calls or social affairs.

Women come under a sway, peculiarly sinister where men are concerned. This is believed to make them aggressive and likely to take the initiative in love affairs, only to be disappointed#

The evil power of Uranus may be felt today in the irritability and changeableness of men and women upon whom any responsibility devolves.

In the map of the full moon of this date Jupiter is in a place that is read as indicating increased sentiment in favor of peace in Europe and strong demands for the cessation of war by the populace in cities of Germany, Italy and England.

Saturn is so posited as to presage trouble in shipping affairs. These will affect Great Britain first, but the United States and Canada may be especially interested.

Activity in the United States navy is indcated by this configuration. Persons in authority may be severely criticised.

A serious earthquake is threatened next month for 103 degrees west longitude, and seismic disturbances may be expected in the western part of the United States.

Disorder and internal troubles are prognosticated for Russia,. Italy and Persia.

Fraud and embezzlement in public places are persistently foreshadowed. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of travel and change that may not be satisfactory.

Children born on this day may be constantly changing business as well as places of residence. These subjects of Leo excel in outdoor sports and have talent for leadership.
