Jamaica’s Chinese Problem. The Chinese question has taken on an unusual form in Jamaica. At present it is engaging the serious at tention of the people of that beauti ful West Indian island, with its so lution nowhere in sight. In Jamaica the trouble is not based on the complaint immortalized in Bret llarte’s memorable phrase “ruined by Chinese cheap labor.” It is quite the reverse of that. The Ja maican complaint against the Chi nese immigrant is not that he will labor cheaper than anybody else. It is that, in the sense of manual toil, he will not labor. As far as farming is concerned the Chinese in Jamaica will have none of it. He goes in ex clusively for trade. Furthermore, he trades in an adroit and skillful way that makes him a highly dangerous competitor tuucopuituciiw Phila lelphia Ledger .reports that Chinese have monopoized the retail provision business and are now or ganizing to enter the wholesale im porting trade in a way that may shut everybody else out of it. In ad dition to that there are surface indi cations that the Chinese are plan ning to get control of the liquor trade as well. The news of Chinese commercial prosperity in Jamaica has reached China, with the result that already the influx of Chinese in being greatdly augmented. Restrictive legislation has been proposed. One suggestion was an immigration tax equivalent to about $1000 a head. Another was refusal of a liquor trading license to any body who is not a British subject. But the representatives of the Brit ish Empire feared international com plications if these measures were adopted. The Empire is greatly in terested in maintaining good rela tions with China. Both plans were abandoned. It was finally decided to appoint a committee to investigate the subject and report on the facts. Jamaica has had race problems in the past, and something may be found in the island records to suggest a remedy for the present difficulty.—N. Y. Herald. GOOD NEIGHBORS Many a man hath gold to guard And house to keep him warm. And ale to drink and bread to eat And strong and ready arm; But many a man- when time is come To rest him from his labors Hath not so rich a store as I Who boast me of good neighbors. There’s many a lad would scale the hills And sail the fickle ocean. And touching keels at every quay Live ever in commotion. But what a man may buy with sweat Or carve with hearty saber He may not own so sure as I Who have a jovial neighbor. Oh, some would cram a granary With oats and corn and barley. And some would dance a round or two With every fiddling Charlie. I like the time when malt is ripe And Jenny brings the tabors, -But mostly I like every day Because I have good neighbors. — By WILLARD WATTLES. The Ideal Home. Occasionally we see an advertise ment in the newspaper stating that a certain real estate agent has a i“fine home for sale.” It is a mis take. No one can buy or sell a home. What the real estate agent really m ans is that he has a house to dis pose of. It is a business of the peo ple who live in it to make it a home. It is a comparatively easy thin 1 to build a house if one has the mon ey. An architect, with the assistance I of bricklayers, carpenters and ma ; sons, will soon put up a dwelling, | but lo construct a real home takes ! much more time and thought. The materials that enter into it are in L visible. Old 1'r. Hamilton, in his quaint | way, says: “Six things constitute { a good nome. Integrity should be its architest; industry should be its | ventilator; tidiness should be its up j aolstcer. It should be lighted by i c heerfulness, warmed by affection, and ever all should be the canopy of j God’s blessing.” The ideal home may be in a eot 1 tage, in a tent, in a log cabin in the woods, in a shack on the prairie— ! anywhere but if it is the abode of j friendship, love and sympathy it is a heaven on earth. 1 he ideal home is a place of real ' comfort. What a fine old English word “comfort” is, and how much it , suggests! Every man ought to feel | th -I this element exists in his home ' whatever else may be lacking. It is ; rough enough outside; there is a ' great deal that rasps and annoys in the business life of today. For ev ery worried working man the home should be a kind of sanctuary. ! The furniture of a dwelling should ! he chosen with a view to comfort rather than style. Some housewives have a strange liking for antique articles of furnishing, and others are ■ determined to have the latest fash j ion, but there is usually very little ; ! satisfaction to be had in either jf : these extremes. There is probably i nothing that a man appreciates more than a roomy, old-fashioned chair in ! which he may read his evening paper, ■ or a wide sofa with sufficient length j ; for him to stretch out in what he calls , i “solid comfort.” This is the element. | perhaps more than any other, that he craves in his home. A ‘rue home will be a place of har ! mor.y and peace. When Frederick the Ireat. wearied with the fatigues of ! ; war, built a house for himself, he or dered the words “Sans Souei” to be inscribed over the doorway, to indi- , cate that nothing disturbing should ! j he a I owed to enter it. It is to be feared that there are I many homes where the demon of dis ' cord prevails. It is quite a common j thing to see the motto, “God bless our home,” in the dining-room. That is I very beautiful, but there is no use ! hanging such a motto if the father is in the habit of bottling up his wrath all day and then uncorking it i when he gets home, or if the mother is a continual scold, filling the house with a perpetual clamor. Under such circumstances the motto is a mockery A prominent employer of labor states that domestic quarrels greatly lessen the business efficiency of men and women. No man can do his best i work if he comes to his task after a | quarrel with his wife, and the wife I at home is miserable for the whole | Domestic disagreements are often j caused by a very little thing. A ! foolish remark, a sharp word, a severe ! reproof, a flippant jest are often suf ficient to precipitate a wrangle, and unfortunately when it is started neither party to it seems to have sense enough to keep quiet. Cross words add fuel to the fire, and the j happirt-ss of the home is gone. What ! a pity j A very fine motto to hang up in 1 the home and strive to live by would } be the words of Paul to the Ephes ians: “Let all bitterness and wrath, and anger and clamor, and evil speaking j be put away from you, with all mal ice. And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you. ’ This injunction translated into the life of every member of the family would make an Eden of every home. Home ought to be made an attrae i tive place. A man may honestly aim at possessing a beautiful house. Dr. Dwight says: “Uncouth, mean, rag ged, diit> houses constituting the body of any city, will be regularly accompanied by coarse grovelling manners. The dress, the furniture, j the mode of living, and the manners will correspond with the appearance of the dwellings.” It is not necessary for every house to be what “Abbotsford,” Sir Walter Scott’s home, was called, “A poem in stone,” yet there is room for some display of taste even in the smallest and poorest dwelling. I Leigh Hunt illustrated that a pleas ant dwelling can be made in the most unfavorable circumstances. He was imprisoned for nearly two years for an alleged libel on the Prince of Wales. During this time he did no yield to depression, but spent his time in decorating the walls of his gloomy piison. With the simplest of means he made his cell so attractive that Charles Lamb declared that there was not another such room except in fairy lancf. Among the silent influences that count much in the formation of char acter are the pictures that hang upon the walls. We see them so often that they make deep impressions. It is of great importance that they be bright and cneesful. A book-agent, one day, wanted to sell me an illus trated copy of Dante’s works. It contained a large number of fearful looking nictures of goblin and fiends. I told him that I would not have such a book upon my library table if he gave it t< no. Put up bright, cheer ful pictures and let the song of glad ness and the shout of laughter ring through : lie house. The ideal mme will be a cheerful place. Cheerfulness is partly a mat ter of temperament, but is is also the result of effort and habit. It is mere than a pleasure—it is a posi tive duty. Black is not one of na ture’s favorite colors. Nature re joices in things bright and gladsome. Toys, playthings, games, jokes, romps are a valuable part of the home program. The loving words and the sunny smiles that children get from their mother in the early days of life make an indelible impression on them. No finer compliment could be paid to a mother than the epitaph once put upon a tombstone: “She always made home happy.” “She made home happy!” these few words I read Within a churchyard written on a stone; No name, no date, the simple words alone, Told me the story of the unknown dead. Close by, inscribed to one the world has known; But ah! that lonely grave with most o’ergrown Thrilled me far more than his who armies led. “She made home happy!" through the long sad years, The mother toiled and never stopped to rest, Until they crossed her hands upon her breast, And closed her eyes, no longer dim med with tears. The simple record that she left be hind War greater than the soldier’s to my mind. —The Uplift. T1REI) AND WANTS TO REST, FORDNEY SAYS WASHINGTON, June 26.—“I am tired; I am 69 years old; I want to rest now and be with my family,” Chairman Joseph W. Fordney of the House Ways and Means committee declared today in announcing he has determined not to seek re-election from the eighth Michigan district after a continuous service of 24 years. News of Mr. Fordney’s decision to retire next March was an utter sur prise to House members generally, only a few of whom had been taken into his confidence. Representative William R. Green, of Iowa, is the ranking Republican member of the ways and means com mittee. Under the House seniority rule he will be come chairman, mem bers said, if the Republicans retain control of the House in the Novem ber election.—News and Observer. ENGLISH POLICEMEN CARRY NO FIREARMS WHILE ON DUTY One feature of the cabled stories of the brutal assassination of Field Marshal Wilson which surprised Am erican readers was the casual an nouncement of the fact that the Lon don police do not carry firearms while on duty. It seems to have Ion? been the practice to arm the metro politan police with clubs only, altho at intervals, particularly in wartime and during riotous disturbances, ex ceptions have been made. This is widely at variance with the custom in all American cities, even those of minor size and importance. Here the policemen usually carries, besides the stick which is the insignia of his office, a blackjack and a good service revolver.—Philadelphia Record. Chairman of House Ways and Means Committee Not Candidate. SAGINAW, Mich.,.June 26.—Con gressman Joseph W. Fordney, chair man of the House Ways and Means Committee and author of the Fordney tariff bill, announced positively this morning in a telegram to the Sagi naw News Courier, “that he will not plans to retire at the end of his pres ent term after 24 years of continu ous service in Congress. THREE HORRIBLE CRIMES. Three outrageous crimes which have occurred in as many days in different parts of the world go to show that the world is not yet near the utopian ideal of civilization, but is still controlled largely by its pas sions and its prejudices, it likes and dislikes. The killing of Field Marshal Wil son in England by the Sinn Feiners because he sympathized with Ulster, wh'ch desires to remain separate and a'ool from South Ireland, the shoot ing of Rathenau, the German for eign minister who was the connect ing link between Germany and the world, because he was willing to meet Germany’s reparations bill, and the terrible massacre of miners in Illinois are tragedies too horri ble to pass over lightly. All tnree or tnese are separated by wide stretches of country and » seas, and are not connected in the least except in the lawless after math of war, and the distraught con ■ dition of many human minds, that have lost their adjustment and sense of proportion and regard for justice and right. The murder of the Field Marshal of England is the result of the con tinued troubles in Ireland, and the | desire of south Ireland to compel North Ireland to join with her, and break with the English government. : South Ireland feels that Ulster is the j only obstacle in the way to her am | bitions of complete, absolute and unbiased freedom without moral or financial English obligation. She has the same freedom that Ulster ; enjoys. In fact she has forced Ul ster to have more freedom than Ul ster ever desired, for Ulster appre ciates the influence and the protec tion of the mother country and is loathe to give it up. The murder of Rathenau is the I result of the agitation regarding the payment of the German reparations. There are always weak minds, and minds without responsibility, ready to respond to sentiment around them j and feel that they are winning pop ular applause when tl^ey commit I some act which will make of them a martyr in the eyes of those complain ing at present conditions. The strong and substantial men of the | world do not commit such crimes, ! they are always committed by the men »^ho are either tools and dupes, or are atfected by a situation. But one of the worst crimes in the history of this country was the massacre of the miners in Illinois. Here it seems a whole community sympathizes with the act. It is al leged that it followed the announce ment from President Lewis that the miners who were working should be treated as strikebreakers. But suppose these were strikebreakers, did not the proprietors have the right to bring these men in and work them? Most assuredly. If there is a recognition of any other rights in the premises, aside from those of the proprietors, then the constitution, which guarantees to every man the j fight to the enjoyment of his prop erty without interference from any one is violated. The recent Supreme Court deci sion by Chief Justice Taft, which is eminently fair and right, will be tested out in this case. The Miners Union is to be sued for the destruc tion of the company’s property, and the 1 elatives of the men who were killed will also sue the union for damages. V\ hat there is to sue and collect, umess it is the dues of the organiza tion, we are unable to say, but cer tainly some one who is responsible for the acts of the union and its members should be made the respon sible parties. Individuals and cor porations are responsible to each c ther, to the state and the country, and to say that any body of men is above the pale of the law is hark ing back to the days of force and feudlism. One thing is certain if the unions were sued and made to pay for the loss of life and damage they cause they would hesitate be fore issuing incendiary matter that would cause such horrors as the mine outrages in Illinois. The only way to settle these trou bles is to make all hands amenable to the law through the due process of the courts, and let every one un derstand they must appeal to the courts rather than to their own pas j sions and prejudices and such out ! rages would cease. This should ap j ply to both the proprietors and their ! employees. Both should have con tracts and live up to them and set tle their differences in court.—Wilson Times.
