This provisional constitution seems
to have been modeled upon the consti-
tution of the United States as so
S? other republican constitutions
Lave been. It gives to tho peon c tho
usual guarantees of free thought ficc
p ech and free press; freedom in
possession and usq of private pronely-
right of trial not by Jury but b
(no judiciary; Ycllgious freedom; the
right of petition etc.
The general propositions upon
which the republic Is founded arc sta
ted as follows:
"The republic of China has been-established
by the people of China.
The controlling power ia
in the body or tne puoims '.".
The territory of the republic o
China consists of the twenty-two pro-
vinces inner and Outer Mongolia Thi
bet and Kohonor.
"The government or tne rcimm.v .
China is formed of the national as-
sembly the president-and executive
omcers and the judiciary acting con-
jointly." .
'The national assembly Is to consist
of five delegates from each prolines
except Kohonor which sends one. The
manner of election of delegates Is Ie.t
to be decided by each province.
President and vice president are to
bo elected by two-thirds majority voir-
of electors from the provinces each

WHEN EVERYTHING GOES WRONG
Jusf to leave your work and your
worries your dishes in the sink
your beds unmade your marketing un-
done and If need be your ds-ors un
locked and go forth Into the great
outside world Is to run with eager
feet toward peace. It Is good to go
and sec a friend am! talk ft over; but
It is hotter to gp out under the sky
and forgot It. Let the unhurried world
of nature preach to you of steadfast
peace and growth under unceasing
change. Let tho big empty sky re-
place tho cohwebbed celling of your
house-hound consciousness flood tho
dark places with wholesome sunshine.
When you go back to your dishes
they will almost wash themselves for
all the good fairies out-of-doors will
come homo wlth.you and lend a will-
ing hand to your work.
