THIS DEMOCRACY?
One young woman who h.id no- j
bly served others during Iht brief
appreruictsliip in unselhMiness i
one day came out of the kitchen
where she had gone to give an or
der to a servant and said in her
moiher: "What do vou think,
mother! 1 fitil Li u miih U

invited htm to come to dinner nexi
Sunday."
"You must not do ihat!" the
mother said sharply. "Go back
imi 1 excuse (0 irself from such an
invitation. He is not in our set!"
' Bui we had him here several
nines, mother! He is in every
way worthy."
"It is not the same," said tl e
mother
"You mean, moiher, that the
overalls are not as good as ihe uni
tnrin?" Alas for our boasted American
democracy! The hoy in overalls
did nut dine next Sunday with the
American lamily. Of what use is
all this talk about making the world
safe for democracy if we have none
of it ourselvi-s? Dr. Charles M.

Their fir. st move was tn strike from
school or, rather, from lectures, us
they remained In their respective
schools and spent so runny hours dully
In private study. They (lien organized
Into hands for get tint; nut propiigamld
literature and for puhllc speaking In
the country and mint 11 towns and lu the
tea shops In poorer districts of th
cities lu order that they might rem h
the vast numbers of people who could
not read.
Immediately upon organizing, the
students published their demand., four

who as a party were pro-Japanese and
practically controlled the (iuernment

that the twenty-one demands made hy

An Immense uinotint of literature
was put out, i m ih of tt lu the Dew
phonetic script which Is being launch

classes might learn what was happen

the demands, stirring the people to pH

of Imprisoned Htudents wlthhi the
prison and refused to he released, pick

When tt became evident that eco

effective both the hankers' and mer
chants' guilds were called upon to back
the students. "In less tlnin two
hours," Miss Smith said, "the shutters
were up at every shop tn that great
city of Shanghai, where telephones are
few and communication difficult.
Every shop, whether large or small,
was closed. The laboring people, feel
ing as patriotic as the bankers, mer
chants and students, also Joined the
general strike. For a week everything
was closed shops, money exchanges,
fish markets, shipping, everything.
The students struggled to keep public
utilities running. The telephone serv

the students soon had It running again.

MISS HARRIET SMITH
Of Chinese Y. W. C. A.
Ing to keep the railroad employees st
their posts and explaining that It was
patriotism for them and for water
works and electric light employees to
continue to work. At the end of that
week the students had won the first
point and the militarists were out of
power."
When suffrage In any form Dually
comes to China Miss Smith feels that
It will be granted to both men and wo
men because of the way women are
helping to build things up now. Wom
en students took an active part In all
of this bloodless revolution. They had
their places on alt of the councils.
Their part of the work was to trans
late much of the literature Into phonet
ic script and when a boycott was de
clared on Jupunese goods to begin pro
ductlon of goods In China.
"All of the students threw away
their straw hats purely Japanese
products at the beginning of tbetr
movement, and the women students
set about making white duck hats,
which were called patriotic hats and
immediately became very popular.
Then they began devoting themselves
to the making of parasols aud of tal
cum powder. Some of them paraded,
but none was arrested.
"China Is the last country tn the
world to fear class feeling and antipa
thy, which seems to he gripping the
rest of the world," Hiss Smith says.
"In China there is a wonderful social
solidarity. People get together, not so
much by localities, but by trades and
professions. Every one belongs to a
guild, and these guilds are wonderfully
organized, as the Chinese have a
genius for organization. I lesplte
jKor Hues of communication, lack of
rullrouds aud telephones, these guild
hold closely together. Yet their organ
ization has nothing to do with caste.
"With a leadership as highly organ
ized as that of the students a great
nmount can he done. Leading men of
China Interpret the student movement
as very sign I (leant the forming of a
new national party. It Is the duty of
nit Christian organizations in China to
give these students, who are now the
leaders of the Government, every pos
sible bit of nld and Inspiration, as they
need more than human help to brlug
China out of her difficulties successful
ly. The Y. W. 0, A. Is doing what It
can to help the women students. AM
of these students have given up their
vacations and are working hard
throughout Ihe summer,"
Miss Smith has seen China change,
within ten years, from one of the eld
est and most rigid monarchies of the
world Into a republic. She saw the
first republican flags go up and feels
that China has accomplished a great
deal, fighting all the time as she has,
against the great odds of Japanese and
Kurrtpeau aggression In addition to the
old monarchists party. Given time,
China will become one of the great re
publics of the world, she says.
Miss Smith lives In Richmond, Vs.,
and Is home on a year's furlough. She
expects to return to China m the
spring.

unpleasant cigaretty after-taste or uny un
pleasant cigaretty odor I
Camels are made of an expert blend of choice
Turkish and choice Domestic tobaccos and are
smooth and mild, but have that desirable full
body and certainly hand out satisfaction in
generous measure. You will preler this Camel
