A dreadful famine Is reported in Kocwang Si, China, owing to three successive failures of crop*. People are starving and dying by hun dreds. A press dispatch from Walla Wa.la dated May 20th, says : Jo seph Becker, a radical socialist in this city, is in j-iil here on suapic-j ion of having intended to kill Pros-! ident Roosevelt yesterday. The op lsode was kept quiet u' t il after the president's departure. There is considerable clamor in the pn""ri about the president be ing in the West ho long.

Speaking of the cause of the crime for which tho negro, Winter Cantey, will p.iy the penalty <>f his life in Columbia today, the Statu says : j) "It has been roughly estimated that fully half of thu orimw among southern negroes is attributable to drink. Were it posolblo under the law to keep liijuor away the chances are that the percentage of crime among them would be ns small ss it was during tho old slave days." Is thoro no remedy for this groat evil? MAKE YOtJHHKLP T1IK STANDARD. If every citizen were such a eiti /en as yourself what sort of citi zenship would wo have?

If every man could mens- i ure hilUSell ! ?y your Hl-tndard in the ob^ervancu of law what sort of, civic conditions would we have? It . . , | is customary fur us to measure toe follies and failures of others very strictly, while wo are si ?w to give them full credit fur tho good quali ties thoy p^ssosi.
