present. And by that time there may

every kind there Is now.
Listen to the Choir.

We are informed by an estimable
public official that at Monterey recent
ly number of Mexicans joined him in
singing the Star Spangled Banner.
This fact he presents as proof that
the Mexicans are an amiable people
and do not make border raids.
Unfortunately, the best that it can
prove is that there are some Mexicans
who do not make border raids-while
they are singing the Star Spangled
Banner with this estimable official. But
while they were thus fraternizing
there were other Mexicans who were
numbering an American and subjecting
his wife to CHASTITY brutalities.
1t does not prove that all Mexicans
are amiable. II does not prove that
any of them are. Singing the Star
Spangled Banner is not proof of lofty
impulse. 1t may be camou1age. But,
at best, what is the use of few of
them singing the S. S. B. at Monterey
i while there are swarms of them else
where just waiting for an opportunity
TO slit an American throat and pillage
+, American property?
We are supposed to be friendly with
Carranza's government. He has an
army of about 10000, and claims to
rule population of 100000. That
! population contains several rebel fac
tions, each with ypretensions to the
control of certain portions of Mexico
Any policemen which we may show
to the CarranZa government-any act
of official recognition-is tantamount
! to a slur on the claims of all of the
other factions. And one or more Of
these factions retaliate by numbering
a few more Americans. It is safer
than to murder some of Carranza' 5
party.
AS a matter of fact, about the SAT
! est thing any one can do in Mexico is
to murder an American and brutalize
his wife and daughters,
| And our amiable public official as.
su1nes benevolent attitude and sol
emily assures us that Mexicans sang
the S. S. B. with him. The wonder is
that they failed to slit his throat at
the last word.

Work for the Soldier.

By far the greater part of our young
men coming hoem from the war are
strong and well. Outdoor life, plain
hearty food and vigorous physical
exercise have combined to build up
their physique.
Many of them who were indoor
workers before the war find that the
abundant vigor they have gained in
spires them toward life in the open.
For men of this inclination the farms
of the country offer an excellent OPP
portunity.
The working season is on and the
farmers are calling for help. They
are willing to pay wages that are COM
paratively high, when we consider that
room and board are included. Neces-
sary expenses are few, so that young
man could save nearly all of his wag-
es. And in the meantime he is living
a wholesome life and is securing a
knowledge of practical farming which
IN the future may be of great value to
him.
In case he should desire eventually
to buy a small farm of his own the in
formation which he has gained about
soil and location will aid him in his
selection and prevent him from making
poor investment.
We would recommend to the young
man who is doubtful about his employ
ment to take into consideration farm
work. He will at least have we'll pay
ing work for several months, which
Will leave him as "husky" as he is at

The Gathering Cloud.

At the beginning of 1915 long Sc
ries of demands was made on China by
the japanese. Among them were ex-
tensions of the lease on Port Arthur
and on Dalny for century.
The effect of these leases were to
transfer to Japan the control of all of
the mines in south Manchuria and east
ern inner Mongolia, including some of
the richest mines in the world. Usual
ly supreme stroke in the direction
of territorial aggrandisenent by one
power results in, interference by all
other powers most directly interested
next to China-were Germany and
Russia, and at the beginning Of 1915
(when this happened) they were still
more interested in something else.
They had been fighting each other for
four months.
So the Japanese took hold But all
that they acquired then is insignifi-
cant compared with their present de-
mands. Theeeffect of them forces Chi
ma to employ Japanese advisers in po-
litical, financial and military affairs;
to establish police departments in i'm
portant places in China, to be jointly
administered by the Chinese and jap
anese governments; to purchase from
Japan the right Of constructing rail-
ways connecting the cities of Wuchang
Kiukiang, Nanchang, Hanchu and
Chao-chou.
We may say that it amounts to a
protectorate over all China. And it
only falls short Of annexation because
annexation must of necessity be grad
ual. A country with 100000, 900 in
habitants is too vast to be annexed all
at once. But that the process of an
nexation is well under way no one can
doubt.
Well, what is this to US, you ask I?
It is simply this. The whole of east
ern Asia is, in fact or in prospect,
Japanese. Facing our Pacific coast is
the Asiatic coast-administered by a
power that controls resources as rich
as our own, and which is united in one
national purpose, instead of being di-
vided into a number of political par
ties with contrary aims.
AS to the Japanese we deny citizen
ship, although we grant it to Mexi-
cans, Turks, Syrians and negroes. Here
is cause for international friction, if
there were no other cause-frietion
with determined antagonist whose
resources are boundless, and who is
Just waiting for the Psychological mo-
ment to hurl his armies against US.
We can face the fact with calmness.
if we are prepared.
But ARE WE PREPARED?

Wanted-A Creed.

1t is difficult, at times, to know whe-
Their to speak kindly or unkindly of So
cialism. 1t is, in fact, difficult to talk
about socialism at all.
The reason is, that there is a little
uncertainty as to what socialism is,
at least in the average mind. There
are many doctrines which we once call
ed socialistic and which are now part
of conservative policy. One might
almost say reaetionary, or imperial
istic.
The term Socialism," as generally
understood, embraces almost anything,
from the best to the worst. In the So
clallst party there is as much diver
gence OF opinion as in the republican
T democratic parties-probably a good
deal more. 1t is difficult to determine
upon labels for any Of our parties, and

in mind next winterif the cost of food
makes any eccentric rises. It will be
known then that the cause is artificial
(and not naturaD scarcity.
It should be fairly easy to place
the blame. s. 1t may be the fault of
market riggers and operators, OF the
cost of transportation or a shortage
of freight cars. If either of these, or
if any other reason, it should be easy
for the government to ferret it out.
That is what we have a government
for.
But it will be necessary, under any
conditions, to trace the trouble to some
cause. Costly food means insufficient
food; and this, is the case Of the midi
vidual, means work performed at q
handicap, with half efficiency, with an
undernourished body.
The result will be curtailed produc-
ton and diminished prosperity.
1t is up to the government!
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1919-07-31
The Cost of Food,

The federal bureau of markets re-
port over fifty million bushels of
wheat in the elevators and storehous-
es on June 1, not including the stocks
on farms or commercial stocks. There
is twenty per cent more wheat flour
on hand than at this time last year.
Very much the same condition seems
I, exist in the case of many other kinds
of foodstuffs, and we have for some
time been assured that, barring the
most improbable contingencies, the
1919 wheat crop will be enormous.
1t will be we'll to bear these facts
