Thirty-odd years ago. congress abro gated the treaty made with China, be cause Chinamen on the Pacific slope be vame obnoxious to the earlier settlers — mostly white. Hon. Anson Burlingame was China’s accredited agent when this treaty was abrogated and the treaty is known tn history as the Burlingame treaty. It was customary then as now for some American statesman or poli tician to enter the service of foreign governments, with large pay, to advo cate commercial treaties and give ad vice .to such foreign governments, in procuring legislation that should be favorable to their commercial progress. The discovery of gold in California first led the way to the teeing popula tion of China —and the demand for labor became so great that it produced a re markable influx of these yellow men into the Nor»h American continent But the Chihaman became very ob noxious to the whites who also labored in mines, and althoungh the Burlingame treaty was«g>assed by congress, giving legal protection to the yellow laborers, it was this treaty giving protection that was abrogated, or destroyed, and the Chinaman who came here, came at his own risk, and the risk was great, x Those who were thrifty, made money and wielded a great influence among poorer Chinamen. If these yellow’ men cared to vote, there wculd be some thing more severe than deportation al lowed these immigrants, and their suf ferings were great. There are thousands of Japanese com ing Into the United States every year. They are more advanced or progessive. than Chinamen. They will be danger ous foes whenever they fail to accom plish their aims and ends. Apparently without fear of death to themselves, they will take the shortest cut to au thority whenever they essay to take it. The red Indian was always refused the legal right to citixenship. for no in dividual is a citlxen who is denied the right to select his own rulers in a re public. The ballot has uniformly been denied to the red man in the United States. The Indians had to be colonixed to avoid extermination. Our forefathers were wise in their day and generation when they held all authority in their own grasp and refused to admit red men into toe legal councils of the American nation. Those who have read history and par ticularly those who have expeienced what history has chronicled of the deal ings of the white man with the Afri *ean race, will vainly asR lor the real reason, why black men were given the ballot in the United States, after this badge of citixenship and legal protec tion was not given to the red or yel low men.

When the southern states were almost overridden and fully surrounded by federal troops eurlng the civil war. the negroes did not attempt to aid those who were fighting to abol ish slavery for the African race. They did not clamor for the ballot. ' They only took what was handed them, on the tips of federal bayonets. They used the ballot for many years as a ! means of merchandise. They sold It at election times to the most generous of bribe givers. And for two or more decades they have been onty used in presidential campaigns as easily con troller delegates, or as a scarecrow for those who advocate tne color line in politics. While it is true that the aforetime Confederate states ratified all three con stitutional amendments relating to the negro's freedom and full ballot prlv ilege. <he citizens of the southern states as a rule, never intended that the black man should vote his wishes in the south’ Behind this question stands the most j alarming question or problem known to the United States.

In the December Cosmopolitan Maga xine I find a most remarkable story concerning the marvelous surgical cures of the present era. With the X-ray process it seems that modern surgeons can look in upon the Interim ; recesses of the human body, and locate injuries and bullets that remained con cealed. some years ago. I never shall forget the newspaper accounts of Presi dent Garfield’s wound, with the hidden bullet, and of the hunt for it. with prob ing instruments time and again. That occurred in 1880, thirty-two years ago, and we were told often and continuously that the doctors knew exactly its posi tion and it would not interfere with his recovery, etc. But he died, as we know, and when the physicians made an autopsy the bullet dropped out from a place hitherto unsuspected, and the probers had been working into localities with no other effect than to wound the dying man’s poor body over and over again and de plete his strength every time. The Cosmopolitan’s article tells of fastening one's bones together with common iron nails and thus giving strength for the bones to knit firmly without yielding. Sometimes the nails are taken out, and sometimes they re main without inconvenience. This idea of driving common nails into humkn bones is something I never heard of before, but I am so often sur prised and astonished that I am pre pared to believe anything. We are told that even the stomach can be eradicated without Interfering with life, and other vital organs are ab stracted and the patient recovers. Un der anesthetics the patient is oblivious ' to pain, and the doctors cut away, re gardless of the lapse of time. During the war there were many and | frequent amputations, and often with out chloroform or ether to soothe the sufferer. Bub that was forty-five years ago. I started out to call attention to surgical carpentry—the driving of com mon nails through leg and arm bones— with remarkable skill and success. It seems anything can be done successful ly, nowadays by surgeons, except to bring the dead to life again. BABY SHOW JUDGES LOSTTHEIR NERVE CHICAGO, ..ov. 16.—50 much beauty was exhibited among forty-eight babies at a Kenwood gathering for prizes that ■ the judges were compelled to give up in I theit efforts to decide between them. Mothers who awaited anxiously and with jealous glances at their neighbors’ were surprised but satisfied when the I judges settled the contest by tielng a blue ribbon on each baby. •Goodness.

"It is easily seen that every one is a first prize baby." , ( "That’s just what I thought," re marked another member of the commit tee and a motion to that effect settled the argument.

WOMEN SHOULD BEJWECTED Against So Many Surgical Op erations. How Mrs. Bethune and Mrs. Moore Escaped. Sikeston, Mo.—“For seven years I suf fered everything. I was in bed for four or five days at a time every month, and so weak I could hardly walk. I cramped and had backache and headache, and was so nervous and weak that I dreaded to see anyone or have any one move in the room. The doctors gave me medicine to ease me Hi A- IgLjg. at those times, ana said that I ought to have an operation. I would not listen to that, and when a friend of my husband told him about Lydia E.

I can do my own housework, hoe my garden, and milk a cow. I can entertain company and enjoy them. I can visit when I choose, and walk as far as any ordinary woman, any day in the month. 1 wish I could talk to every suffering woman and girl.’*—Mrs. Dem A Bethune, Sikeston, Mo. Murrayville, Ill.—“I have taken Ly dia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for a very bad case of female trouble and it made me a well woman. My health was all broken down, the doctors said I must have an operation, and I was ready to go to the hospital, but dreaded it so that I began taking your Compound.

GIRL PROTECTION IT SHEET SIXTEEN Whether Daughter Turns to Right or Wrong Depends l argely on Parents I think that the place where brook and river meet Is always interesting, says Barbara Lee In the Philadelphia North American. Sweet sixteen is the , age at which our young girl is budding into womanhood and, besides being in • teresting to every outsider who loves girlhood and womanhood, it should be most carefully • watched by the mother and father. I am surprised at the lack of surveil lance that characterizes our age. If you come upon your daughters sud denly you will find her reading a love btory; you will catch her dreaming when she ought to be parsing an ir regular French verb. Don’t tear the paperback from your daughter’s hand. She will only get an other and sneak her reading. It is your duty, however, to find out just what kind of love stories she Is en joying. Trashy, unreadable love stdries are worse than literar.v starvation, tor they work an incalculable harm on the girl’s mind and morals. Be very careful of sweet sixteen’s boy friends. Don’t forbid her to asso ciate with them. She will fool you it you do. She will meet the young gen tlemen on street corners, she will walk out in the park with them just the same. The sooner parents recognize this the better. It is astonishing how mother* and fathers forget their youth! It it, also inexcusable. Why, a woman is fre quently more solicitous and investigat ing about the habits of her servant than those of her growing daughter. The only sensible thing to do is to have the daughter invite her friends to her home. It's a good thing to bring a crowd of young persons in out of the rain. Facing mothers and fathers is the in controvertible fact that sweet sixteen is an age that is most Important, be cause It is a turning point. Whether a daughter turns to the right or the wrong is up to the mother and father. The throngs of sixteen-year-old girls painted, powdered, bejeweled, with a queer, acquired, narrow look in their eyes and a vulgar accentuation of the physical wherever possible, are one ot the conditions of the Great White Way of every large city in this land. Sweet sixteen Is too sweet and too young to be thrown out on the world against which she is too feeble and too immature to battle. She is too unbal anced and unformed mentally, morally and physically to face problems that have baffled saner and older heads. She has an awakening sense of love ot sex; but she doesn’t know what either is. Te farmer looks over the weather proposition and shoos his chicks under shelter. The sea Captain takes a reef in his sail when clouds gather over the sea; out in the west they corral the sheep before the blizzard, and In every home the mother keeps an eagle eye on the bread in the oven, the potatoes fry ing in the pan or the expensive chair near the fireplace. But how about the precious growing womanhood in your care? Are you watching her? WIRE TAPPING SWINDLE • GOT HIM FOR $20,000 CHICAGO. Nov. 18.—That Dr. Wil liam T. Birky, owner of the col lapsed Kirby Savings bank, lost at least $20,000 in a fake "wire tapping swindle was brought out yesterday in the federal investi gation Into the ruin of the bank. A petition introduced by Kirby’s attor neys, asking that the inquiry into what had become of $20,000 drawn by Mrs. Margaret L. Kirby, wife and assistant of the banker, be re-opened, named a fashionable hotel as the rendezvous of the swindlers and stated that Kirby was given SIO,OOO there by his wife the day before the bank closed. Patrick H. O’Donnell, Mrs. Kirby’s attorneys, explained that Mrs. Kirby went to the hotel with her threo small children and there met her husband and the alleged swindlers. She delivered the SIO,OOO to Kirby and with him, the chil dren and the leader of the "wire-tap pers,’’ went in a taxicab to a house where the two men alighted, while Mrs. Kirby and the children went home. Kirby then lost the money on a ’’fake’’ horse, according to O'Donnell. EARLY PASSAGE URGED FOR HARBORS BILL (By Aiaociated Pre»».)

DALTON, Ga„ Nov. 16. —With the price paid for cotton by local buyers ■well over 13 cents, Whitfield county I farmers have this week been extremely busy bringing in their product. Up to the past few weeks the farmers had been Indifferent in their picking, and many fields had not been gone over the first time. But now they are work ing to get the cotton out before winter opens.

Made only by f EARTHLY THRONES FALLING THAT A HEAVENLY THRONE MAY BE SET UP The present has been a most event ful year in the 1 history of the world. We have seen a republic rise in China, and the Tartar dynasty fall, which had ruled for centuries over a fourth of the population of the earth. Now we see the power of Turkey broken, and welcome the prospect of the Turk's being driven out of Europe to his ancient habitation in Asia. In 1453—about forty years before Columbus discovered America —the Sul tan Mohammed laid siege to and cap tured Constantinople, which is in many respects the most strategic spot on the globe—the gate-way between the East and the TVest. Napoleon declared that a great power, holding Constantinople, could dominate the world; and that is true. Thiy fact first gave the city to the “unspeakable Turk,” and by virtue of it he has been supported in his un warranted retention of the spot for more than four hundred years. The place is so strong the European powers have been unwilling that it should be held by any great power, and, therefore, the comparatively weak Turk has been allowed to occupy it. Constantinople would not have fallen In 1453 but for a truce which the Sul tan Mohammed made with the King of Hungary, who professed to be a Chris tian. The Hungarian King was actuat ed by motives of fear and suspicion with reference to his European neigh bors; and he let the Turk into Europe, with all the evil consequences which have followed, because he desired to se cure his own selfish Interests. It is an interesting fact that Austria-Hungary Is now the power most disposed to de mand the further continuance of the Turk in Europe. After the Russo-Turkish war, some thirty years ago, a great council of the statesmen of the European nations was held in Berlin, and much of the fruits of Russia’s victory was wrested from her by the treaty then and there made, which is known as “the Treaty of Ber lin.” By that treaty a sort of interna tional equilibrium was established in Europe. But that equilibrium was dis turbed some three or four years ago, when Austria, w’lth the consent and backing qf Germany, annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina. Since then various movements have taken place on account of this disturbance of the balance of power in Europe—such movements, for example, as the activity of the French in Morocco, and the establishment of a triple entente cordial between Eng land, France 6nd Russia as an offset to the triple alliance between Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. Austria’s annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina was distinctly disadvant ageous to Italy, and this fact chilled the latter's attachment to the Triple Alli ance. In such a situation Italy w-as encouraged to make war on Turkey for the possession of Tripoli, and when Tur key had been prostituted by that contest In which she was so badly worsted, the NEAR-BEER LICENSES REFUSED BY QUITMAN (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) QUITMAN. Ga., Nov. 18. —The city council evidently considers that Quit man will be better off without near-beer and consistently refuses to grant li censes to sell it, H. Hammerman be ing turned down at the last meeting. A more rigid inspection of meat mar kets was also provided for, the inspec tor being empowered to seize and de stroy condemned meat and fish. Hereto fore the condemned meat was left to the discretion of th e market man' for its final tUsposition. The council ialso took up the'mat ter of the abuse of work stock and asked the solicitor of the city court to prosecute offenders, instructing the Chief of police to pay special attention to this matter. Last week five starved dray horses were carted off and this effort will be made to compel dray and hackmen to tak e better care of their animals. Typothetae to Meet (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MACON, Ga., Nov. 18.—The Georgia division of the United Typothetae of America, of which E. W. Burke, of Ma con, is president, will hold Its annual meeting in Waycross Saturday.

Sunday School Fire Drill (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, Nov. IS.—The fire drill, comm<!Ai in the public schools, vyas ex tended to a new field here yesterday when for the first time in, the city’s history it w r as tried in a Sunday school. Six hundred pupils of all ages in the Olivet Memorial church, on the middle east side, marched quietly and speedlry from the edifice at the sound of a sig nal gong, fire escapes and all available exits being utilized, and the auditorium was emptied in three minutes. Im? “ PPRHi ifw J* IliiK Balkan States arose and, with Greece, opened war on the Ottoman power. Against these combined powers the Turk has shown himself utterly help less. Nothing but the intervention of the greater powers of Europe can pre vent the Balkan States driving the Turk out of Europe and occupying Constanti nople. Will these powers intervene. The possession v? Constantinople is the crucial point in the case. Russia has had her eye and her heart fixed on the famous city for more than two hundred years, but the suropean powers, especially England, would never consent to any arrangement which would give Constantinople to the czar, for ehat would give a warm-water outlet to hte commerte of Russia, and make the czar master of Europe, if not dictator of the world. It would mean that the Black Sea would be turned into a Russian lake, because along the narrow passages of the Bosphorus “and the Dardanelles Russia could place forts that ’could withstand the passage of any hostile fleet, however powerful, while her own war ships could pass up and down with absolute safety. In the Black Sea the mightiest fleet could be built, and ma neuvered, almost unobserved, and abso lutely undisturbed. It could rush out on a moment’s notice into the Mediterr nean set, inflict infinite injury to the in terests of any power having any Med iterranean territory, and then go back in perfect safety to its secure shelter m the Black Sea, after having wrought ruin wherever it touched. It could cut off England’s indispensable supply of food-stuffs %nd raw materials which is drawn from Mediterraneon ports and To Protect Housewives . (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) CHATTANOOGA.

We may be sure that neither Russia nor any other strong power will be per. milted to have Constantinople. Who then will have it? Premier Asquith, of England, has announced authoritatively, that nothing will be done to hinder the Balkan States from reaping the fruits of their victo ries. The same word has gone out from Paris and St. Petersburg. Italy, al though a member of the Triple Alliance, watches the progress of events with ap parent complacency. Germany Is sullen and silent. Austria growls about Alba nia, but shows us marked signs of do ing anything more than growl. What if an understanding has been reached to erect a Balkan confederacy, somewhat like the confederate states of the German empire, and turn over to it Constantinople for its capital? It would be strong enough to hold the city and not strong enough to excite the fears of the great European powers. And the city of Constantine would come once more into Christian hands. The Turk would be driven out of Europe, and his hideous a/ocitiesv would soon cease at the command of', the united European pow’ers. • It is said “he only is safe In prophesy- ' ing who already knows;” and the pro dictions of the best Informed and most far-seeing man might fail to forecast f accurately the final outcome of such a complex situation. But one thlnff is as certain a« that God is just and that eternal righteous ness rules the universe: The power of the Turk Is broken and his reign in Europe is doomed. The irresistible pub lic opinion ,of mankind—or rather the Invincible conscience of christendom, will force this result. And all this, with the far-reaching movements in China, and throughout 4 the Orient, means that Christianity must spread Wiore rapidly than ever before. These startling events are trumpet calls to the churches to strengthen all their missionary forces and quicken all their missionary efforts. As the barriers are broken down the power of Christianity must be extended. The nations are closer than ever to gether. Unbrotherly powers are being put down ’to make way for a vast and , peaceable family of nations. But such a family of nations cannot exist without s a common standard of morals. One rule of right fnust prevail over all; and there is no ethical standard of unlverMl ap plication but that of Christianity. The polygamous system of the Koran ana the low systems of Confucianism and the Oriental religions are utterly unfit to be extended over all mankind. Only Christ, the perfect man. is fit to give the final type to humanity and to reign over it forever. He only is the' true and glorious potentate, blessed forever more. Thrones are falling and dynas ties are passing away that Christ's throne may be established. Jesus wilt be, and must be, King of Kings ana Lord of Lords. MOULTRIE WILL ASK FOR EXTENSION SCHOOL (Special Dispatch to The Journal) MOULTRIE, Ga., Nov. 18.—The Moul trie chamber of commerce has been ad vised by the State College of Agriculture that no educational trains will be run this winter.
