WANT MORE WAR

Borah, Lodge, Norris and other
republican senators have opened
the fioodgates of their eloqnence ia
protesting against the provision
Of the treaty which transfers to
Japan the rights that Germany
formerly had in the Shantung
Peninsula. Their hearts are wrune
by the wrong done to China, but
there is not one of them who would
vote to modify the law that ex-
cludes from the United States any
Chinaman who might wish to come
here TO earn a living. If the
United States senate has ever wit
messed a cheaper exhibition of
irresponsible demagogism than
that staged by these eminent gentle
men. We can find no record of it,
Nobody pretends that the Jap.

generosity in the matter Of Shan
tung, but at worst the treaty
merely recognizes an accomplished
fact. Japan was already in Shan
tung, and her rights there we're
identical with our own rights in
Porto Rico. She had driven the
Germans out and taken over tae
German possessions precisely as
we drove the Spaniards out of
Porto Rico It was a military
procedure. What is more, it was
a military procedure that exerted
an enormous influence upon the
winning of the war, for it shattered
the German power in the Far
East. New York World.

ADVERTISING RATES
FRIDAY, JULY %, 1919
PEOPLE HAVE RATIFIED

Since there remain 10 the United
States senate and elsewhere some
republicans who feign to scorD
assertions that a vast majority Of
the American people want imme-
date and unconditional ratification
of the League OF Nations, it may
be both interesting and instructive
to appraise sentiment in the ranks
OF the republican party,
It is not unfair or upgenevous to
say that the practical Mr.. Hays,
chairman Of the republican ma
tionaI committee, would not besi-
tate for an instant to make the
league partisan issue if he felt
that republicans as a whole would
second him.
But Mr.. Taft, who is unquestion-
ably the chief figure in TIE republi-
can party, has denounced every
attempt to make the league any
thing but a question of Americas
obligation to obtain and insure
peace. Former Attorney. General
Wickersham and former Senator
Burton take the same position.
The roster ofrepublicans who share
their views contains many names
equally illustrious.
Republican newspapers of great
influence and wide circulation are
fighting for the league and condem-
ming those who would entangle it
with partisan politics.
The republicans Of the senate,
where most of the objections to the
league are heard, are by no means
a unit in their attitude toward the
league. Senators Kenyon, Nc
Cumber and McNary are counted
among the leagues supporters.
Other republican senator's who are
among its opponent can come to !
no agreement as to basis Of their
opposition.
Lastly, the republican national
committee itself is a composite of
factions on the big question.
While Mr.. Hays is saying it is not
a partisan issue, the publications
for whose dissemination his organi-
zation is paying are fighting the
league with propaganda Of distinct
republican flavor obviously to gain
votes against ii.
No, the league is not partisan
matter. The American people
have heard and needed President
Wilson's request that it be kept
out Of politics. The league has
already been ratified by the people.
1t remains now for the senate to
give formal expression to that
ratification.

the last two weeks studying their

the kind of country thereabouts.

their speeches against Wilson.

have been strained relations be-

for many years, but the Versailles

THE sHANTUNG QUESTION

THE SHANTUNG QUESTION
The republican leaders have
sprung question. and one making
much to do over it, about which
the people of this country prac-
tically know nothing. According
to the Nashville Banner China
lost control of the ShantuDg re-
gion when, il 1897, a German
feet seized the land on both sides
of KiaO Chau bay. Two German
missionaries had been murdered
there, and the seizure was on the
pretext Of indemnity. The lease,
BY which III square miles of ter
ritory in that region was conceded
to Germany for ninety-nine years,
was arranged the next year. Ger
many fortified TsiDgtsu, q port on
the bay, and garrisOned it with a
considerable force of her soldiers.
They remained there until Japan
ese troops, after three months Of
fighting, forced them to surrender
November 10. 1914.
None Of these events raised any
protest in the United State. The
japanese have been 10 control there
from that time until now. No one
has ever believed they would
return the territory to China at
the end of the war, and no protest
came from any quarter against its
continued occupancy.
1T has been said in the senate
that there are 100000 people in
Shantung. There are probably
exceeding 400,000,000 in all of
China. There are about 10000
600 in Japan. Yet China remained
entirely passive and would have
permitted the Germans to keep the
stronghold on her territory with
out any sort Of effort to dispossess
them. The Chinese watched the
war in Shantung as if it we're no
matter of concern to them, and
said nothing until the Paris con-
ference met. and then raised a
howl because Japan was not forced
to return the province that she
had taken from Germany to them.
Japan promises to exercise only |
such privileges in the province as
we're conceded to Germany, and to
return it to China at the end Of the
prescribed time. :"
Now the republicans have de-
cided that Japan must reIinquish |
this territory to China, or they
will destroy the peace treaty, the
league of nations, open up the
possibility of another world war,
1t any time, increase the friction
between he United States and
Japan and maybe bring war be-
,ween these countries. That is
yoing some, to say the least OF it.

NEGROES AT WASHINGTON

NEGROES AT WASHINGTON
Negroes at Washington are Civ
ing the authorities much trouble.
Race riots have grown out of their
conduct. They assail white women
and up to Tuesday seven attacks
bad been made upon white women
by negro men in the, District of Col
umbia within two weeks. Five
dead and over fifty wounded is the
toll at this writing and several
hundred rioters are under arrest.
The outbreaks started Saturday
night following numerous crimes,
when several hundred soldiers,
sailors and marines joined together
in search for negro suspected Of
attacking the wife of an employee
of the naval aviation bureau. Fail
ing to find him they vented their
anger on any negro they happened
to meet.
Trihing negroes, either north
or south, when they commit IN
speakable crimes. are going to
find trouble. Down south the
offending negro is lynched and no
one else is moIested. North, the
outraged whites are inclined to
take spite out on the race. Any
race friction is unfortunate, but
