what we need most in China
is more Roosevelts and fewer Bry-

journalist and statesman. told his
hearers In the Grand River.ave.
Methodist church, Thursday night.
Our $50, ,000,00 would welcome
Theodore Roosevelt with open arms
il he were to come TO lead US.
For 45 centuries. the Chinese
have been a peace-loving people.
The scholar has been the most hon
ored OF our men and We have had
no use for the soldier. The result
was that ycnr western civilization
took away from US most OF our I'm
portant seaports. We have had
nothing but war during the past
century and have never won a bat
tie. but we are learning.
"The Chinese invented gunpov-
der, but only used IL to make fire
crackers to frighten away the devil.
Western civilization has taught us
another use for IL. Men are being
in the trenches and on
the battlefelds today because Of
the fighting spirit but in spite Of
that, must say that what we need
in China is the fighting spirit.

NOTE AND EMPTY CARBINE ONLY
CLUES IN STRANGE MURDER
St. Louis, Mo-, March 24.-Police
today had two good clues to work on
in the mysterious murder of Richard
Randolph, wealthy merchant, late
yesterday afternoon. One was a A
caliber caTbine, the magazine Of
which contained an exploded shell;
the other was a note taken from Mrs.
Della Randolph by detectives shortly
after the shooting.
The police say Mrs. Randolph was
attempting to destroy the note. 1t
was written by Ralph Halliday, &C
cOrding to statement the police say
Mrs. Randolph made to them.
Halliday, a few weeks ago, was
named in a divorce petition by Ran
dOlph. Detectives are anxious to
question Halliday, who had not been
located late this afternoon.
The note from Halliday to Mrs.
Randolph read:
u my Dear Dell-LOOk out for a bad
man as long as you live. l will save
you. l guess they will get me soon
er or later. l am, as ever, x. Burn
this up"
Randolph was shot through the
shoulder as he stood near two clerks
in his store. He died within an hour.
The bullet had been fired through a
small aperture in the floor of the
room directly above and near the
apartment occupied by Mrs. Ran
dolph. Nearby was found the carbine.
Witnesses have told the police they
saw man, his clothing dust-covered,
run from the scene of the shooting.
The police believe this man the one
who sprawled upon the floor and shot
