Says We Ratify Robbery by Huns
Calls 1917 Treaty a Fraud. !"

II believe that the secret treaty
made by Japan with the allies in 1917
should not be countenanced by them
or by US at this time, because it rests
on wrong and is established on fraud.
1t was a fraud on China, because by
the terms Of that understanding ia
pan got China into the war. And this
secret treaty was as well fraud on
our government.
When by the Lansing Ishii agree
ment in 1917 the United States recog-
nized that Japan has special inter-
ests in China neither President will
son for Secretary Lansing knew that
Japan had secret treaties with the al
lies by the terms Of which she was to
hold Shantung after the war.

Denounces Treaty; offers Chang

1--WE send missionaries to China to
teach the principles Of the Christian re-
ligion. And we do right But it i'll
becomes US to sanction an arrangement
that will fasten upon them the rule of
a. nation that is opposed to Christianity,
that has systematically prosecuted
Christian missionaries
II do not believe that the treaty
should be ratified unless and until Japan
either withdraws from China or states
in unequivocal terms that she will with
draw, or, better still. fixes a definite
date Of withdrawal, for I believe this to
be as monstrous proposition as has
ever been proposed to civilization"

Many people get the i'm
preston that the August
Fur and August Blanket
sales are merely whims of
the merchants. or efforts to
boost. summer business:
As a matter OF fact these
two are among the most
logical of reduced price
events.
The manufacturer is al
ways willing to make a re-
-duction for winter goods
shipped during the summer
season.
The demand for furs and
blankets is small and this
condition always means low
prices.
The stores are never so
busy In summer, and they
are willing to make conces-
sions to keep things moving.
And there are a dozen
other equally good REASONS
why cold-weather things can
be sold for less in summer
than later in the year.

Sees War on China by o. s.

"The people of China believed in the
United States. We have been her one
great and only friend. The President
Burlingame, casts the efforts of Hay
upon the scrap heap and not only con-
sents to the robbing Of China by Japan,
but seeks to force us to fight to sustain
the robbery and protect the robbers. It
cannot be denied that If the people Of
Shantung revolt against the CALLING yoke
of Japan. and II China shall rise to de-
fend her own people, then by the pro-
visions Of article ten we shall be COM
PEELED to send American soldiers to SUBJ
due China.

"PASSING THE BUCK"

In the case of the industrial home
for girls. where the scandal was too
strong to be passed by without no.
tice, the former governor says Com
missioner Matthews and the board of
affairs are to blame. Matthews says
that Williams is wholly to blame and
the board of affairs insist that the
neglect should not attach to that Of
fee. The senate committee of investi-
CATION whitewashed Matthews before
the former governor got in his
evidence. Now the situation has be-
come embarrassing to the machine.
In order to clear things up, the
matron was made the goat and fired
from her job. All is doubtless now
lovely. That fact that eight of the
young girls are about to become
mothers is also doubtless satisfac-
tory!

NEEDS OWN MEDICINE

The state 'reformatory" at
Granite. according to a special re-
port appearing in a democratic news
paper, needs considerable reforming
itself. From the report II appears
that the $4,000. appropriated for
the year to end June 80 this year. all
but $4,000 of 1t is spent, and that the
convicts are being starved. More than
100 head of hogs were allowed to
starve to death this winter and more
than 200 more are practically straved
at this time. According to Boone
Williams. the warden, less than $53,-
900 was sufficient to feed the con-
victs for a period of one year. this
being figured at the rate of s237 per
person. He is now asking for an ap-
preparation of $4,000 to run them
the balance of the fiscal year. The
people would be interested to know
Just how the difference between $53,-
900 ana sS4, 900 has been spent, with
the year a little more than half gone.
