The Awakening of Chinn
Dearborn Weekly.
Ever since China shed its imperial j
robes it has been the theater of civil !
; Strife of a more or leas \porndic nature. j
Undoubtedly the country wants a strong !
man; but where is he to conn- from Vi
When the Mancbu dynnety bade farewell j
to all the ancient splendor of the palace
at Pekin, it was to Dr. Sun Vat- Sen that
it turned for a lead. Dr. gun did his
best; he probably did more in his en
deavor to set China on its feet tliau any
other than. But he was attempting the
impossible.
China is a giant that has slumbered
for many centuries. Giants are notor
' iously stupid when aroused from a pro
longed debauch of sleep. China is no
exception. It is still in the stage of
rubbing its eyes and wondering what it
is going to do next.
The vastness of the country and the
• lack of facilities for communication
which exist fn the greater part of it are
important factors in the confustion and
lack of understanding that exists be
tween one part of the country and an
other. The giant is incoherent; lie does
not know what he Wants. The sun of
modern progress dazzles his eyes, and
his actions are apt to be blind and ir
responsible if uo one is forthcoming to
lead and direct him.
Thousands of years ago the Chinese
led civilization, but they made the mis
take of concluding that they had rekched
the summit, and so they halted and
marked time, and they have been smooth
ly marking time ever since. But there
hgs arisen in their ranks foe the past
decade or so n desire to move forward
that has been taking tangible form, and
the aendency has been Occidental.
The recrudescene of eivil strife that
has taken place during the past few
weeks is nothing to be wondered at. It
was inevitable. ( Therp is a suggestion
thgt Bolshevik influences have been the
cause of the present trouble. This is
not at all improbable. The same thing
is seen behind troubles in other parts of
the world; but this is but a passing phase
of the whole situation. No solution of
China's difficulties can be reached until
the giant is fully awaks and qualifies
then and then only that order may be
expected to emerge from the present
chaos.

! CANADA TO STAMP OUT WITCHCRAFT .
AMONG THE NORTHERN INDIANS
I V
! Aaneouvew, B. c„ Oct. 20.—The Cun
i adian Government is determined to stamp
[ out witchcraft among tbe Nomad Indians
, in British Columbia's far northern wilds.
They are believed to be the last peo
ple on tbe continent who practice it.
The first definite step in that direction
already has beep taken with the arrest
of five members of the tribe charged with
torturing to denth.'a 17-year-old boy and
the brutal maiming of a young gir.l
Both victims, contend the aborigines,
were possessed of “evil spirits.”
Arrival of n party of Canadian Royal
Northwest Mounted Police here with the
prisoners follows a thrilling hunt start
ing last June and extending up to the
frozen Arctic wastes, where even dog
teams'had difficulty in travelling.
Four of tbe Indians are men. The fifth
was a girl with a baby in her arins. All
soon will be brought to trial.
Last spring rumors of the primitive
cruelties of tbe tribe began to t-eaph the
ears of the •‘watchdogs'’ of the north. .

to the Telegraph Rill district to inves

They set out in June, making their!
way first on horseback, then by canoe. I
later by dog sledge and finally afoot.
Weeks later they arrived near the No
mad's camp. It wasn’t long until the
Indians discovered their presence, for a
bullet came whizzing through the inspect
or's. tent.
Although a crack shot, the inspector
refrained from returning the fire or say

I this district, that he is npt a speaker
.and he is evidently aware of that fact.
Not a few candidates, and many who
are not candidates, have difficulty in
coming tS'the knowledge of the fact that
public speaking is not in their line. Mr.
Dorsett is given credit accordingly. In
making hi* announcement in Statesville,
preceding the address of Mr. Meekiias,
Mr. Dcrueft was content 'with few words,
some of which he r#ad from manuscript,
all in a tone so tow that few people

Through strategy, he finally was able
■ to obtain confessions that led to the ar

And from them this much was learned :
Early last spring the Nomads began to
i find fishing poor. Then they turned to
i hunting with equally as little success.
Traps were set but they were always
, empty when the hunters visited them.
I Atol Atone Was Lucky.
The wise men of the tribe grew suspic

■ ed they could find nothing.
(fo»4p began running through the
enmp that an ‘evil spirit” was hovering
about. If if were not destroyed, surely
the tribe would perish of hunger.
Now it happened that in the camp was
a lad called Atol, or Moccasin. Os some
what deiecate constitution, lie was giveb
much tp his own company. That alone
I was bad.
I Again it was related how he managed
to catch fine fish and had remarkable
lupk on the hyint. ,
Tlie rumor spread that Atol had an
j ‘‘evil spirit.” He used it, argued the
I old wariors. not to obtain fine fish and
| game for himself, but to scare them away
from the rest of the tribe.
Hanged Head Downward.
The climax come when he was detected
oue night'in his tent bending over a fire,
eiflier humming or talking to himself.
Who else equld he be conversing with

Mr. Dorsett may be a business man, but
so far as tlie general public is aware he
has no large reputation in that respect.
* But granting that be is what lie says he
i is, he has nothing on the present Reprc

i a successful farmer, the meet difficult

success. / He hud established a reputa
. tiou as a successful business man before
i lie was first elected to Congress 14 years
. ugo, and he has fully established his
, reputation as .a business Congressman.
Therefore, the voters of the eighth dis

exchange an established fact tor an un

bers of the tribe began executing a weird
dance in a circle about him. These pro
ceedings were Intended to impress the
spirit with- thf fnet that they had gain
ed ascendency over it.
But tlie young tree was weak and it
broke, throwing Atol to the ground. This
time he was tied spread-eagle*- fashion to
an improvised* rack and the dance was re
newed.
Then they left him there to die. For '
hours and hours he was hanging there,
head down, his pitiful cries rending the
sharp night air.
Atol, though in terrible agony and with
out n bite to eat or a drop to drink was
still aliye next day. His tormenters
though the was taking too long to die,
so one of the squaws cut his throat with
a knife.

In the tribe, the police also discovered
a horribly crippled girl gamed Madeline.
Suspected of witchcraft, she had been
maimed for life.
Three days and three nights she had
been stretched by one foot and one arpi
upon the rack. Both are paralyzed now.
Today she propels herself over the ground
like a crap.
The officers are not through investi
gating her case yet, But they had to let
it go until they got thfcir prisoners—
Atol’s murderers—fiack here tor trial.
Now, however, they are going back to
that wild country of uncanny people,

foot, to try to bring tt> justice Madeline's
persecutors and stamp out forever the
primitive cruelties of her people.

would he “free trade.” Os course Mr.
Meekins and all tne Republican orators
who talk about free trade know full well
that no party is advocating free trade.
But they have to gay. something amt

lind under Democratic administration;
they know- Mr. Houghton's attitude as
to the tariff, and tlie great Majority are
entirely willing to nek his judgment
in these matters. They know also that'
Mr. Dorsett would vote for whatever
