Sincerity First REQUISITE.

And least of all is sincerity a quail
ity that can be successfully initiated.
1t twines through the whole emotional
fiber; it has its roots in the heart.
Sincerity gives wings to power" is
the way an old proverb happily puts
1t. Go through any list of acknowl-
EDGED leader of business and profess
sional life. You will find there are
few who have not been pre-eminently
sincere.-H. Arlington Bruce.

The Most Valuable.

So, day by day, and week by week;
so, month after month, and year after
year, work on; and in that process
gain strength and symmetry, and nerve
and knowledge, that when success, pa
tiently and bravely worked for, shall
come. It may find. you prepared to re-
ceive it and keep it. The development
which you will get in this brave and
patient labor, will prove itself, in the
end, the most valuable Of your sue
cesses.-J. G. Holland.

that the Federal Trade Commission ex-
aminers who investigated the meat pack
ing business, was packed with avowed
socialists, anarchists, reds and radicals.
He charged the commission with con-
spiracy and further stated that the office
in which the investigation was conducted
was nesting place of socialists" The
public is anxious to know whether or not
these charges are true. There should be
pitlless publicity in this matter. The
truth can be ascertained, and the pro-
ceedings of the investigation should not
drag along till people have forgotten all
about this scandal If this government
is infected through and through with the
poison of Bolshevism, this democracy of
ours of which we boast so loudly, is in
lmme late danger. If these charges are
false Senator Watson should be expelled
in disgrace from the Senate Give US
the truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth. If our Secret Service
force is not made up of men of straw
they ought to be able to tell US within
the next ten days. If they are not able
to do that they should be DISCHARGED and
the Secret Service service should be turn
ed over to the Pinkertons.

ANOTHER NUT LOOSE.

Mr.. Henry Morganthau has recently
returned from seven months trip
abroad. He went as the chairman of a
committee appointed by President Will
son to investigate pogroms in Poland and
in several other countries in eastern
Europe in which pogroms are of frequent
occurrence. Perhaps we ought to state,
before going any further, that pogrom
is an act of wholesale and especially
bloodthirsty cussedness which some gov
ernments permit, and which, in some in
stances, they secretly instigate. We are
not aware that the official report of Mr.
Morganthau has been made public, but
before he departed on his mission he let
it be known that in his opinion the proper
was for the United States to do it, This
fact and the statements which he is re-
ported to have made since his return
make it evident that the official report
will be that this country should accept
mandatory over Constantinople, Armenia,
Anatolia and perhaps few other trouble
expect Great Britain to welcome our en-
trance into the Mediterranean and the
East and, thinking deeply" as to
the proper form in which that well
come should be given, he says: Many
English statesmen have told him that
Great Britain would do almost anything
necessary to induce US to undertake these
mandates, and he suggests that gift of
half of Gibraltar and an equal partner
ship in the straits would be satisfactory
to US because if we Invested hundreds
of millions of dollars" in the Near East,
sent our fleet into the Mediterranean and
our soldiers into the pogrom infested
countries eve ought to have right to
go there when we like and as we like"
He might have added that we ought to
have right to repass the straits on our
homeward way when we like and as we
like. Coustantinople under a U. 5. man
date, he said, would be working prac-
teal Statue of Liberty and inside ten
years would become the fourth largest
city IN the world and would do more 10
promote peace than any other factor"
lie also said that any economist could
prove that the monetary investment in
this mandate would be profitable. We
wish he had continued to voice his hal
fluctuations till he told US who was going
to gel these profits. Certainly only
nut could conceive how the United
States, as nation, could get any profit
out Of lighting foreign pogroms which
are 1000 miles away Only nut could
conceive that the fathers and mothers
OF America, whose sons would be sent
there and perhaps ole there, would con-
slider 1t to be profitable. Does any one
who is not nut believe that ANYBODY
except the tax collector, and the other
people who are on the public pay roll,
and the SPECTATORS, would ever get any
considerable part Ct those Hundreds of
millions" which Mr.. Morganthau pro-
poses to risk as wager against Great
britaln's skill in that old diplomatic
game known as the Spider and the
Fly?"

1t is estimated that strikes have lost to
labor SIS, 900, 900 during the last nine
months. The fact that the pay stops
when a workman goes out on a strike,
initiates very strongly against the strik-
ers. The aliens who make up such a
large part OF the steel strikers have earn
ed nothing for more than month. If
they do not go back to work these men

THE PASSING OF SHANTUNG

Articles 156 and 157 of the treaty of
peace with Germany summarize all the
lands, and everything else which Japan
claims in Shantung, and explicitly says
that all these care and remain acquired
by Japan, free AMI clear of all charges
and membranes. There is not word
IN the treaty which suggests, even in the
most remote way, tlat Japan intends to
give Shantung back to China. The al
legged promise that Japan will give up a
large and greatly desired territory and
concessions which have been by solemn
treaty given to her free and clear of all
charges and membranes, is but a
vision in the air, England and France
sanctioned the despoiling of China. All
the United States could ever have done
was to refuse to be an accessory after
the fact. If China should sometime 90
to war with Japan in an effort to drive
her out of Shanturg, not corpotai' S
guard could be mustered in this country
to assist her. Japan has recently an
nouaced that she is to increase her naval
power by building new war vessels to
cost $50, 900, 900. THIS she says to the
world that if anybody wishes to check
her expansion let them come on. The
Senate acted wisely, we think, in voting
aga INST the Shantung amendment. The
matter is ended as far as the U. S. is con-
cerned and the responsibility, whatever
it may be, rests on Japan, England and
France.

at once.
All that we desire to say a. this
time is that while the doctors diff
fer as to what this disease is, the chill
dren seem to have some sort OF eye
trouble, by whatever name you call
it, and if there is anything that can
be done to cure it and to prevent it
that something should be done with
out delay and without argument. And
if it is contagious the children who
have it should not go to school to
spread it to other children. That it
seems to us should be the desire Of
the school authorities and Of the par
ents.

DOCTORS DIFFER.

At this writing we do not know
that the board of health has taken
any action in the eye trouble among
he children further than was stated
IN the Friday paper. DR.. j. W. Jer-
yey gives it as his positive opinion
that it is not trachoma. This has
~iven several people the idea that DIR.
Goodwin who was sent here by the
State board of health did not under
rtand the disease. Several eye
specialists in Columbia confirmed the
diagnosis of DR.. Goodwin that the
children did have trachoma. DR.. Jer-
vey says that the disease is what
ophtalmologists call Chronic follicu-
lar catarrh of the conjuctiva." And
hat it is not communicable and en-
= rely harmless. All the evidence
2'orces the conclusion that the disease
PREVALENT in this section among the
children is communicable. And as
natter of fact do not the highest
medical authorities state that the
disease (which DR.. Jervey calls the
eye trouble in Newberry,) is COM
:nunicable? The physicians at Pros
1erity were very favorably impressed
nth DR.. Goodwin and with the work
ne did in the clinic which he operated
here. And they state that the eye
specialists in Columbia confirmed the
diagnosis of all the cases that were
aiken there from Prosperity.
It is stated that the operation is
ntirely harmless and that the opera
IONS made have cured the children.
they leave no bad effects or the eye.
Of course we do rot know anything
bout it, except we are told that
large number C the children in the
ohools Of the co1n,v have rad some
sort Of eye trouble, and that i.
