TIE "CROSS OF GOLn.n

The Literary Digest, in its repro
duction of newspaper comments upon
what it calls "Rescuing China from
the Cross of Gold" says: The cruci !
fiXion of China upon a cross of gold
would naturally be repugnant to an
administration whose foreign affairs
are in the hands of the present secre-
tary of state, and our keen editorial
observers see in the disapproVal of
the Chinese loan a similar chilling at
titude toward the entire Taft pro-
gram of dollar diplomacy" BY
dollar diplomacy the press mean
the use of government influence to
aid and protect our bankers and
traders in their transactions with Lat
in-American republics and with Chi
ma, striking example being our arm
ed interference in the revolution in
Nicaragua. In China's case it now
appears from the presidents state
ment that the Taft administration
requested our bankers to join in the
"siX-power" loan to China, a loan so
.Onerous in its terms as ito touch very
nearly the administrative jndepend-
ence of China itself" ana p has been
openly charged by our advocates of
| recognizing the Chinese republic, that
| recognition has been delayed by all
the powers to put the screws on Chi
ma and force acceptance of the loan.
Now the Wilson administration ex-
plicitly disapproves the entire Chinese
transaction, and most of those who
were waiting for an unequivocal dec
laration of the new Administrations
attitude toward dollar diplomacy
are satisfied by the presidents state
ment that this policy of the Knox
regime has been definitely repudiat-
ed. The change of front is made
more emphatic by the resignation of
Huntington Wilson, assistant secretary
of state who was closely identified
with the development of dollar di-
plomacy' under Secretary Knox.
AS the Springfield Republican sums
it up, the present administration
takes the stand that banking houses
making foreign loans can not have
Uncle Sam as their collecting agent" a"

Joe Davis, MARTYR"

FROM the Chicago Tribune
in a little magazine published by an
Iowa seed concern there appears a little
sermon on road improvements that ought
to be read by every farmer in this region
of bad roads. the sermon is entitled Joe
Davis, Martyr and it Is Illustrated by
two photographs taken by the editor,
Henry Field, of Shenandoah, Ia. They
show a broker wooden bridge and Joe
Davis wrecked shelter engine, They do
not show its owner, for he was In a hos
pital-dying.
The bridge he and his engine broke
through was old, wooden. with worm eat
en- pine ~stringers. The road commission
ers are going to put in a concrete culvert
now. That doesn't help Joe, or Joe's wild
ow and his six children. The state of
Iowa has lost a good citizen, hard work.
ing. useful. 1t was not onomy to keep
that rotten bridge. 1t was waste.
MIR. Field declares there are $1,000 such
rotten bridge in Iowa alone. Then there
are probably that many or more in Illi-
nois.. AS the Tribune pointed out the 9TH
er day, Iowa has spent $40. O40.0 600 on her
roads and got in return some of the worst
in the country. Illinois has a record as
bad.
The situation was not created by lack
of money. but by its foolish outlay. How
long are these two commemorative to go
on pouring taxes through a sieve for the
sake of petty politicians and their jobs?

Willard P. Holmes, one of the owners,
wasn't more responsible for the debt than
others. 1t had come through no special
fault of his. Times, as they will, sim
ply had got tight and forced a bust-up-
that's all you could say about it. More
over, Holmes personal fortune went with
the rest. He had been used ard his wife
had been used to living well. Now, in
middle life, they found themselves strand
ed, with nothing but a small equity in a
m~ortgaged home.
BY law Holmes could have gone into
bankruptcy and thus cleared himself of
every legal obligation. Men do that ev-
cry day and don't worry about the other
fellow. But the Holmses were better thar
law honest. Their friends had put money
into that bank, believing in him. 1t was
up to them, therefore, to see that every
lost penny hould be paid back.
The other day Holmes repaid the last
penny, principal and interest, and took
the last receipt. To do 1t has meant 20
years OF s%crimping, of struggle; scrimp-
ing by both. struggle by both. For the
wife, to be sure, bore the brunt of 1t. AS
Holmes says, She helped all the way"
Somehow we like to know of such peo-
pie. They keep your faith sweet.
