The bare statement by the American

1nd Mr.. Palmer entitled "The Rose of
Love"

the, rumOr that the old state law

There is, note of injustice in

its victims. Those who voted

voting for the tax, but they pre-

Diplomatic Condolences.

The so-caIIed inside informa-
lion that played such prominent
part in the news" of the recent
war has been satirized by Stephen
Leacock, who gives us the usual
correspondents rush" dispatch:

.thority, whose name am not at
liberty to mention, speaking to
me in a place which | am not al
lowed to indicate and in a lam
guage which I am forbidden to

this step is | am forbidden to say.

Prohibition.

The great day of national pro-
hibitiOn has dawned. For a period
OF war prohibition will be effec-
tive, and while it may lapse for a
few months, next January will
see permanent prohibition in
augurated. 1t can hardly be de-
MED that the ultimate effect of
prohibition will be the betterment
Of the human race, and this is
It's only necessary defense. The
cry that it was wished upon this
nation while the soldiers were in
France is absurd. As a matter of
fact for many years the sentiment
has been growing to such an ex-
tent that the dulleSt prophet could
see that liquor was doomed to die
an early death. That the death
has come is not doubtful, all
though it will take some years
TO thoroughly enforce the new
laws.

Extending Federal Power.

There are many people in this
country who feel and believe that
the old doctrine of States rights
contains many helpful and need
full lessons in our present system
of government. These folks moan
and bewail the growing extension
of federal power, how in recent
years our government has been
slowly but surely extending its
authority TO matters previously
within the control of each individ-
ual state.
.... But, there is reason for this.
Few things in the world just oc-
cur, most events are products OF
previous happenings, which the
world could. have. needed and
taken for guide-posts, Federal
control is being extended because
it has been found efficient; state
control is waning because it has
been lacking. .......... ..... ... ........ .,...

China and Japan.

The fact that the japanese won
their contentious before the peace
treaty caused the Chinese delega-
ton to withhold their signatures
to the document. China is begin
ming to see the light. The south
ern and northern factions are en-
gagged in an effort to uprear a
stable government which will at
tract the allegiance of the whole
country. The government is
transIating into standard Chinese
Technology various scientific
terms, thus bringing to the people
the advanced ideas of the western
world. A program of develop
ment for railroads and telegraphS
is planned.
When the great yellow giant Sc
cures the firm support of its mas
Sed millions, when intelligent
Cinnamon take control of the new
government, the future of Shan
tung peninSuIar, as decided by
the Paris conference, will take an
other slant. No matter what ties
are placed around the govern
ment of China, if a stable govern
ment can be organized, the future
reign over Asia is destined to be
Chinese. Japanese statesmen, we
may assume, know this as we'll
as we do.
