ADVISING CHINA SOFT JOB
Twenty-Five Persons Draw Salaries
From Bankrupt Country
as advisers"

Why not be an adviser to China
with a good salary? All you nave 10
do to get such a sinecure, according
to Ellen N. La Notes "Peking Dust
Century. is to have your government
bring a little pressure to bear on
China. In a chapter Of her book writ
ten in Picking, Miss La Motto says:
"There is a quaint custom here, which.
as far as 1 know, is unique in the his
tory of international relations. That
IS the custom of giving advice to
China. Any country can do 1t. appar-
emily. Any country that thinks China
would be benefited by little disinter-
ested and helpful counsel can see that
she gets it-and that she pays for 1t.
too. Any person who wishes a lucra-
tive position can get his government
TO appoint him as an adviser TO
China. and his government will see
70 II that China pays him a salary.
As far as l know, China does not ask
for this advice; 1t is thrust upon her
unsought. But she must pay for the
privilege, whether she likes 1t or not.
So over they come, these various 'ad-
visers' from various foreign nations,
and settle down here in Picking as the
official advisers of this and that, and
draw their salaries from this bankrupt
old government. The China Year Book
for 1916 gives list of twenty-five such
advisers.

"Put K There"

Many interesting and humorous
stories are told about the impetuous
side of Andrew Jackson, both as q SOL
der and as chief executive. But one
which sets him of in his true color
II related in reference to the manner
In which he selected the site for the
picturesque United States Treasury
building, which is situated across the
street from the White House.
The erection Of the treasury, with
its huge stone pillars and impressive
Grecian architecture, was begun dur
ing Jackson's administration. 1t Is
one of the most spacious and costly Of
the numerous government buildings
When congress voted to build a
federal treasury which would be COM
mensurate with the growing needs of
this great country. commission was
named to select a site and decide up
on the plans. The commission did not
work fast enough to suit the impetu-
Gus president. He finally grew so i'm
patient with what he called dilly-dally-
ing on the part Of the commission.
that he invited the members to Join
him at the White House on a particu-
lar morning to start out on a tour of
the capital to agree definitely upon a
location for the proposed building.
Jackson always carried a stout walk
Ing stick with sharp point. There
had been much wrangling over the
different sites before the commission
came to the vacant plot where the
treasury now stands. Here "Old Hick-
DRY" lost his temper. He thrust his
pointed stick into the soft earth, turn
ed to the commission and abruptly ex.
claimed:
"Put the damn thing there"
Probably Both.
"That woman on the corner, waiting
for a trolley car, refused your offer Of
q lift rather superciliously." $50 she
did," replied the obliging man. "And
now I'll never know If she turned up
her nose at my company or my divver."

To Acquire Greatness.

The best guarantee to greatness Is
an intense interest in great program.
Then it is that the fellow becomes so
full of the job that he hasn't time to
think about whether he's great or not.
He sees the thing to be done and be
comes so full of how to do it that he
rises without knowing that he's becom-
ing great in the eyes of the world. So
the best thing is to be filled with your
job and work it until it gets the fruits.

NEED SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE
Pioneers In New Fields of Endeavor
Must Have that Animation, or
Failure ls Sure.

Life would be sorry thing IL we
lacked the spirit and the initiative to
60 ahead and make an attempt at least
to better our condition. We cannot ex-
pect to enjoy the better, higher, nObler
phases of existence without searching
for them, or rather without a steady,
confident endeavor on our part to
make ourselves worthy Of absorbing
them by degrees. To do this, however,
necessitates the abandonment In many
cases of certain of those well-known
paths whose opportunities, limited
though they may have been, seemed
sufficient for our needs. II we have
wrung those opportunities dry. how
ever; If we have extracted from them
the essence Of their substance and
know that we may hope for nothing
more from them, it is time, surely, to
turn our thoughts to other opportuni-
ties even If to get them we must blaze
new trails and risk new adventures.
The spirit Of adventure is, indeed. the
spirit which should dominate the pio-
neer In all new fields Of endeavor. Un-
less he is Influenced by such a spirit
he will stand a poor chance Of making
good In the new fields he expects to
work. 1t were better that such a per-
son remain content with the little that
may be vouchsafed him, rather than
to make an effort which in advance he
realizes will be futile. Many things,
however, come to the man who dares
ne matter what his quest may be. The
new adventure always promises well,
but as time passes and obstacles Of
one kind and another, and trials and
temptations make the going difficult,
the bright promises for the futare
seem to fade away, and in their place
come only cold facts and hard lessons
to be learned. That is why so many
Of rs lack the courage to keep on when
we have undertaken new work. We
do not know just what it will develop,
nor are we always willing to "see 1t
through" Notwithstanding our avowed
intention Of doing so.-Charleston

An allegation by Mr.. Baran that the
Goodyear concerns had more favorable
prices for automobile manufacturers
than for dealers was held to be with
out merit as an evidence of restraint
of trade or creation of monopoly.
Every manufa cturer holds monop-
DIV in the goods of his own manu-
facture," said Judge Hand. but there
is no allegation that the defendants
have a monopoly in any line of COM
merce,' to use the term of the Clayton
act. The manufacturers sell to dealers
and the latter to the consumer There
is apparently no competition between
the manufacturers of tires and the
dealers. nor is it alleged that any ex-
lists. The differentiation in price
would not, therefore, substantially
lessen competition.

DEALER LOSES HIS CASE

Judge Augustus N. Hand in New

Tire and Rubber Company. Inc. of
New York. in suit brought against
the two companies by Harold 3.

Files Suit for Damages.

The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany is the manufacturer and the
Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company.
Inc, of New York, is the selling
agent. MIR. Baran had been a Good
year agent under agreement to sell
Goodyear wares in accordance with
the Goodyear service station policy.
After complaints had been received
from the users. Mr.. Baran was
dropped from the list of service sta
ton dealers. He brought suit to re-
cover damages under the Sherman
act and the Clayton act.
The Goodyear companies. Mr.. Baran
alleged, conspired to obtain a monop
oily and restrain trade and commerce
in their tires He asserted that they
selected the dealers who should sell
the tires, forbade them to sell to other
dealers and instructed them to sell
only at the prices and terms fixed,
under penalty of forfeiting their po-
sitions as agents. and that they did
establish a system of espionage and
blacklisting'' in order to enforce their
rules. Mr.. Baran also alleged that the
Goodyear companies refused to make
adjustments. repairs or allowances on
Goodyear products except through
their accredited agents.
1t was the contention of counsel for
the defendants that the service station
system had been established for the
benent OF the pubic as well as for
that of the companies; that dealers
were selected with a view to their
giving advice to customers concerning
the care of tires and SO getting the
maximum service from Goodyear
products.
Substance of Decision.
cit is to be noticed at the outset"
said the decision. which was rendered
last Friday, that there is no allega-
ton that either defendant had a
monopoly in automobile tires and ac-
cessories or even did a large percen-
tage of the business in such goods
within any part of the United States.
The alleged combination or conspiracy
between principal and agent. If OBJ
noxious at law, must be so because
what they have together done would
have been illegal if done by the prin-
cipal alone. The real question which
remains is, therefore. whether: re-
fusal of a manufacturer to sell to
dealers
"(a) Who will not maintain suggest
ed prices, or
"(b) Will sell to other dealers and
not merely to the consumer, is a viola
tion of the Sherman act.

the merchandise could do as they
pleased with 1t. No agreement among

next Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock TO
act upon the referred ballots set
aside by the County Board of Elec-

fact became known this morning
when Harry S. Medinets, attorney for
William Voorhees, the Democratic
candidate for alderman-at-large who
was defeated by a three vote margin
by John n. Wester, Republican, re-
ceived a notice to this effect from
Judge Bergen.
With both parties claiming a vic
tory it will be the decision OF Judge
Bergen on the 130 odd ballots which
have been referred to him which will
decide whether Wester or Voorhees,
shall head the City Council next year.
There is considerable speculation as
to what action viii be taken with ref
erence to the second poll of the fifth
ward.
The Republicans, have made a re-
quest, through their attorney j. II.
Thayer Martin, of Woodbridge, that
the entire second poll of the fifth
ward be thrown out owing to the fact
that the members of that board did
not abide by the election law in con-
Quoting the work in that poll. With

NOT To BOOST

So That Wages Of Miners Will

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Not one
cent can be added to the price of coal
to finance any increase in the wages
of miners, Fuel Administrator Gar
field declared today, after reading
press dispatches that Governor Cox,
of Ohio. had proposed that miners and
operators in that state compromise
on the basis of 25 per cent. advance
in pay for the men. DR.. Garfield In
dicated that the government would
interpose no objection If the increase
could be given without advancing coal
prices.
All bituminous coal mines now In
operation must close within week,
unless the railroad administration
pays for the coal it has conf1scated or
diverted, said a statement today by
the American Wholesale Coal Asso-
citation.
The Associated said the Railroad
Administration refused to pay for the
coal until a price 1t considered fair
had been fixed by Fuel Administrator
Garfield and that DR.. Garfield had re-
fused to change his price-ruling.
Mines which will be effected, the
statement said, are producing now g.

RADICAL LEADER
CAUGHT IN NET
Of DETECTIVES.
Samuel KanonOWich, Russian,
Well Known Here, is Arrested
TAKEN TO ELLIS ISLAND
Quantity of "Red" Literature
is Found In His Room in
Morris Street

Samuel Kanonowich, SS years old, a
Russian, not married, was arrested by
department of justice agents, assisted
by Detective Gutowski and MuSka of
the local police force yesterday morn
ing at o'clock in a house in Morris
street charged with being an anarchist
and subject to deportation. He was
taken to Ellis Island. Kanonowich's
arrest comes as great surprise to
many people of the city as he had
worked in many of the larger plants
and munition works, had been resi-
dent here for the past seven or eight
years and had done business with
many of the local business and pro-
fessional men.
For Sometime past the Department
of Justice has been acquainted with
Kanonowich's actions and he is known
to the department as the leader of the
radicals in this section. The depart
ment has been collecting evidence
against Kanonowich for several weeks
and has a mass of evidence against
him at this time. In a search Of Kan
onowich's rooms a large quantity of
radical literature and letters written
in Russian were found.
Kanonowich Is recognized as the
leader here of the Union of Russian
Workers, and since the government
began raid, against this organization
he has been keeping under cover, for
this reason the arrest was made In
the early hours of the morning. Let
ters found in his room show that
kanonowich has been in communica-
tion with anarchist leaders in all
parts of the country, planning for the
overthrow of the government. The
Emigration Department at Washing
ton has issued a warrant which COM
pels Kanonowich to show cause why
he should not be deported.
