Our Evening Thought


It is an excellent plan to have some
place where we can go to be quiet
when things vex and grieve US. There
are good many hard times in this
life of ours but we can always bear
them if we ask help in the right way.

Japan Presents
Final Demands
II Expected by Foreign Observers at
Picking to Use Force Unless
China Yields

Picking, China, April 26.-The con-
ferences between the Japanese minis
ter to China, Ext Hioki and the Chi
nese foreign minister, Lu Cheng Hsi-
ang, we're resumed today.
The Japanese minister presented
an extended list Of twenty-four de-
mands. This list is virtually an
application of the original twenty
one demands and includes even the
demands for railroad concessions, 1t
is understood in territory where the
lines would compete with British in
terests.
The Japanese insist that the Chi.
nese government accept the new list
of demands in its entirety, but no
time limit has been set.
China is making certain military
preparations which have been descrih
ed as feeble. Great secrecy is main
tanned as to the details.
In Picking the impression obtains
among foreign observers that japan
will use force unless China yields.

UNCONFi9ME ED
NEWS

If newspapers printed only the
things that some public men think
they should print, they would have
little else but real estate transfers,
marriages and deaths. At the same
time, whatever the convictions Of
the Associated Press men who heard
President Wilson speak at New York
the other night, they all seemed to
applaud his plea for caution in print
ing unconfirmed news.
At the hight of the yellow Journal
ism movement, host of papers never
made efforts to distinguish between
rumor and fact. II there was dis
patch that the Japs had landed troops
on the Philippines, they chucked 1t
in and denied it next day in small
type. More often they did not both.
er to insert any denial-unless it had
string in the form of possible IL
bel suit.
The war news is full Of fakes.
Some OF these are feelers, sent out
by some government anxious TO try
out a certain idea on public senti-
ment The confusion Of war sets
| ailoat daily a thousand rumOTs that
are merely some ones surmise.
1t often seems as If the big metro
politan papers fail to estimate high
enough the intelligence of the pub
lie. The hustling jewellers in New
York, Chicago, and San Francisco
may be too busy to read anything
but headlines. But there are mil
lions of others who read intelligent
ly and form opinions. When the edi
tor puts a headline on a story show
ing that he accepts 1t as fact, hi
audience may read 1t through anC
pronounce it fake. A newspape
that does that may sell on stree
cars and railroad trains. But 1t vii
never get any hold on homes wher
thoughtful people read, estimate ant
weigh.
Could some newspaper men act Of
the suggestions made by Presiden
, Wilson to the Associated Press, no

Y neutrality, but some newspaper
a would command wider respect.

Washington Unruffled

Washington, April 26.-The Japa-
nese government has given to Great
Britain a detailed explanation of the
demands made upon China, which, &C.
cording to information obtainable
here, is said to have relieved appre-
tensions in London as to the scope
of the japanese policy in China.
Since Japan's assurances were re-
ceived here in the answer to the re-
cent American note of inquiry some
high officials have been of the belief
that a satisfactory adjustment of the
Japanese Chinese questions eventu

THE WORK OF PATRIOTIC
ORDERS

The annual Congress of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution IN
session at Washington the past week
always attracts a great deal oil IN
terest. A member of this order once
remarked. that when these delegates
get down to Washington, they fight
like cats. This perhaps accounts in
part for the large amount OF newspa-
per space given to these meetings.
Whether or not this was fair crit
icism warm rivalries and even acer-
bity of controversy reveal that an or
ganization has internal energy and
contains forces capable of good.
In the earlier history OF some pa
triotic orders, it sometimes seemed
as If the members got together to cell
citrate the glories OF their own blood
and lineage quite as much as to per.
form any patriotic service. Some
people are so conscious Of the super
iority of their ancestry that they feel
no need of making any efforts on
their own part.
Yet there is real work for these
orders to do. The days of rs are
nearly century and half ago. 1t
is all ancient history. To the young
person in the schools 1t is as remote
as julius Caesar or Agamemnon.
Teachers should be thorough students
of American history, become familiar
with the lives of the great Revolution
airy patriots, and make these lives
vivid to their pupils by narrative and
anecdote.
AS warriors, you almost have to 90
back to the Spartans at Thermopylae
to find anything more wonderful than
the beating of the finest army in Eu-
rope by rowing bands of ragged
troops
AS makers of a government, the
fathers were pioneers In a new field.
Other peoples had previously created
republics. They were republics only
in name being merely societies Of ar
istocrats who divided up among them
selves.
The constitution makers of our ma
ton were as much pioneers as the
hardy men who went out into the
prairies and felled forests and fought
Indians. The Daughters of the Am
erican Revolution and other similar
societies need never fear that too
much will be said about the genius
of the men who did this pioneering
work on the field of battle and in the
council hall of the constitution max.
