We would like to have Americans
understand this, that the United States

SEES understanding. Last year, when
rioting occurred in Korea, Japanese
troops acted to surpass the movem mt
and of course, some casualties resulted.
American public opinion was stirred
up. American public opinion strongly
censured Japan, but if Americans only
knew that there was a close relation
ship between the Korean riots and the
attitude of the United States, public
opinion perhaps would not have blamed
Japan to such degree.
The fourteen points of President

emancipation and protection of those

Germany. Turkey, Hungary and Aus

But the primary intention of his
points was misinterpreted by the Ko
reans and they thought Korea might
just as well obtain her independence
logically. They expected assistance
and the support of President Wilson
and the people of the United States.
This expectation of the Koreans was

among them believed President Will

OF the Korean.

DISCUSSES ROAD
WORK IN COUNTY
Editor Free Press:

Editor Free Press;
see an article in your paper of
Oct. T, touching the population de
crease in Idaho county, and l am tax
ing the liberty to write you, as a
stranger in this section, this letter.
L am here getting up data to be
used in Washington, d. c., regarding
the building by the government of a
water grade road up the Clearwater
river from Sites to this place. l
may say / have the honor of being
acquainted with officials Of the gov
eminent from the white house all
along the line and have had letters
from these officials regarding this
road matter, and feel sure that once
I get to Washington, ID. c., with the
stupendous amount of convincing in
formation and statistics, we will gain
our point.
William C McNutt, f. f., after much
persuasion got me to join him in this
meritorious work.
This road built up the Clearwater as
above stated, win rebound to the
interests Of Grangeville as well as
Sites and Elk City, so l feel sure
that all who have the interests of
Grangeville at heart. will do all in
their power to press this road mat
ter to the front AS Senator Cham
berlain said to me in Oregon, and
in a speech to the farmers "a good
road built in a state is bound to re-
dound to all the inhabitants Of that
state, and one that connected cities /
and towns together was of the greatest
value, hence all should joins hands in
the efforts to get good roads.

of meeting, and all agree that my view
point is correct
You should get your commercial club
to cooperate with Mr.. McNutt, who
is now in Lewiston, and boom this
great county for all it is worth.
/ have been assured by prominent
bankers that once that good roads are
built. there would be a stampede of
miners, prospectors, ETC., into this
county. / was informed cit was a
veritable virgin gold field scarcely
scratched, would become Klondike
if good transportation was furnished. -
Ny friends in New York have asked
me to investigate for them, and from
an eastern viewpoint. 7 feel sure to
get this road built and you will see
stampede to Grangeville as well as
this whole county.
A man of vision can see the hand
writing on the wall. This county,
from a "waste' as it seems to one
who has gone into mines neglected on
all sides, will burst into prosperity
if this road is built and the McFad
den bill passed. 1t seems to me, you
have great opportunity to accomp-
lish much for the miners and ranchers
of Idaho county am bending every
effort to place this county on the map
in red ink. Won't Grangeville do its
'bit?" I have letters from promi-
nent men of the east whom l hope to
induce to come to this section next
fall. Let IS have something to show
that will boom this county.
Yours very cordially,

Clash in Banking Authority
Mississippi Bill Creates an I'm
usual Situation

A clash between Federal and state
authority in Mississippi now exists as
a result of the signing by the Gov
ernor of a bill requiring banks within
the state to charge premium for the
collection of checks from other states.
According to information that reached
Wall Street yesterday, the bill also
places notaries under the obligation of
refusing to protest such checks unless
a premium for collection has been
paid.
This law, 1t was said at the local
Federal Reserve Bank, directly inter
feres with the policy of the Federal
Reserve system of having checks col
lected at par in nearly all parts of
she country. 1t is believed that the
Mississippi law conflicts with provi-
sions relating to this matter Of the
Federal Reserve act and interpreta-
tions of its meaning by the Attorney
General. 1t is expected that the ma
tional banks in Mississippi will ignore
the new legislation, but the state banks
which are members of the Federal Re-
serve system face dilemma.
