CHlvALRY NATURAL TO HIM
Brave Act of viroinian Soldier In
France Had It's Counterpart In
Deed Of General Lee.

/, It was not often that the soldier
boy would talk at all of those days
in France. but one evening he had
been telling his uncle and some of
the lads who had dropped in of the
rescue of Parade Rest.
Parade Rest was the cOmpany's
mascot, a rather nondescript dog, Of
40 marked intelligence but devoted to
and beloved by the boys, who had
given him this sobriquet because of
the position in which he always stood.

at Chateau Thierry he had been left
behind in a dugout, but had followed
the boys, and at moment when there

tempting target for the enemy, silhou-

1T doesn't seem much to tell now"
the soldier said, looking over the quiet

buddie dashed out among the falling

seized Parade Rest so quickly we
couldn't tell how it was done"
where was your buddie from?"
inquired one Of the boys in the group.
At the answer "From Virginia." the
soldier boys uncle smiled, a reminis-
cent comprehending smile.
He was only repeating an act Of
one Of the greatest Of Virginians, my
Aads," the old man began, and then the
1ittle group remembered that here in
their midst was veteran of that war
of the Blue and the Gray.
"For one day, during the long siege
OF Petersburg, General Lee, in his
effort to encourage his men, took up a
most dangerous position on the front

later besought, he retired to the rear.

humiliatng Judgment which such
work would pronounce on what they
have already done. The countries
which through their statesmen. have
created the league of nations. and
which have joined it and set it to
functioning, could hardly be ex-
pected to accede to a proposal which
implies that they have blundered so
egregiously. They are not likely to
concur in the judgment that the lea
que of nations is dead, nor assent
to any proposal which assumes that
it is useless to the degree that it
does not even contain material that
is serviceable for reconstruction. They
may consent To the making of radical
changes in its superstructure, but that
they would join in destroying its
foundations can hardly be thought pos
sible.
OF the three conceivable courses
open to Mr., Harding and his party,
the second one mentioned is the one
most likely to be followed. They can
not propose the utter destruction of
the league of nations, because of the
practical certainty that the proposal
would be rejected. They can not re-
wise the covenant by means of reser-
vations, not because that process
does not offer all needed facilities to
make 1t what they think it ought to
be, but because it would not sufficient
ly enable them to efface the evidences
of Mr.. Wilson's handiwork. But they
can, by diplomatic negotiations, the
overture for which has perhaps al
ready been made, induce the assembly
Of the league itself to amend its cove

/ it to their IDEAS and possibly even
to change its name. The amendments
may effect substant ally no more than
ratification with the Lodge reserva-

manner Of effectng the changes would
give the popular mind an exaggerat

ance. and substitute the Republican

the league of nations now bears and

A THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
WHAT MAY WE EXPECT?

The American people are at last
confronted with the real problem
which was presented TO their consld-
GRAFTON, in the abstract alone, prior
to the election.
Now, however, the votes are al
counted, the man for the presidency
chosen, the members of his support
ing congress named and, beginning
with the assembling of the sixty
sixth national legislature, the real
work of post war reconstruction VIII
begin, to be pushed along. Republican
lines of thought and TO be aggres-
sively carried forward after the in
auguration of Harding, as president
in March next.
Campaign promises galore, have
been made by party leaders and the
people have the right to expect much
from the incoming administration
from the Republican party. The gem
eral public has the right to expect
and demand, of the congress which
, will soon assemble that its members
do something tangible, that they get
down to cases and work for the in
terests of all.
No longer can excuse be found for
dilly-dallying and pursuing obstruc-
zionist tactics.
But each member Of the house, each
member of the senate, of Republican
faith, is expected to deliver the goods,
and every Democratic house member
and senator has assured the great
American public that their party will
do its part toward helping things
along.
The eyes of all America are turned
upon Washington and the Republican
party.
The wage-earners of America have
the right to look TO the Republican
party for the aid needed; the farm
to the Republican party for a sane
adjustment which will keep the price
Of farm products at prices which
will at least be above the cost OF
production: the men who follow com
mercial pursuits and who are identi-
fled with the worlds business affairs,
have the right to look - the Repub-
lican party for q deflation in prices
which will be brought about without
an ensuant crash of small interests;

IDENTIFY of the big interests have the
right to demand Of the Republican
party that the masses be taken
care of, and that big business be
not permitted TO regulate the buying
and the selling system Of the country.
A return TO dollar day labor,
q return to eight cent cotton, a re-
turn TO depressed markets, means the
return of the armies OF the unem-
ployed, the spread Of socialism and
the coming Of financial panics ana
unrest.
The government is in the hands
of the Republicans. The people are

THE JAPANESE QUESTION

As was to have been expected, the
people of California have adopted the
"anti-alien land law" by a vote of
nearly three to one. The measure
forbids the purchase of lease-holds
for any length of time by Japanese,
provides against control of land by
corporations in which japanese are
dominant stockholders or control of
land by japanese through guardian
ship of their American-born children
who are eligible to citizenship and
consequently privileged to own land.
This measure is intended to pre-
vent practices by which the Japa-
nese have been avoiding the provisions
of the former alien land law. and its
intent is merely to enforce the pur-
poses of the original law.
News comes from Toxic that when
confirmation that the law has been
passed has been received, formal
protest will be lodged with the United
s'NoN'S NfpNti CTS stllloN IL py
pan. This too. was TO be expected
So we shall shortly be face to face
with new "Japanese-American
crisis"
The emphatic character Of the
vote of the people of California should
be considered in passing judgment
on this question. Whatever else may
be said of 1t, we do not think that
the people OF any other section Of
the United States in similar cir
cumstances would have voted very
differently from the people Of Cali
fornia and it is on that basis that
the people Of other states should
consider the matter. We have no
way Of anticipating what the posi-
tion OF the state department will be
in the event such protest is filed,
but the mere fact that We have no
japanese question in the remainder
OF the United States should not affect
that position. There Is only one
ground upon which the attitude of
the American should be determined.
and that is to ask what should be
our attitude In the event there were
the same proportion of japanese en-
gagged in agriculture in every state In
the Union that there are In California.
II the whole American people would
be likely TO act as the people Of Cali
fornia have acted, upon what ground
can the federal government ask that
the attitude of the people Of Cali
fornia be different?
The time is coming in the near
future when there must be a show
down in this matter. Either the
people Of California are right or
they are wrong. II they are right
then the American government must
back them up To the limit II they
are wrong, then this mus; be pointed
out very definitely and specifically.
There must be no diplomatic dodging
OF the question. Let the federal gov
eminent meet 1t squarely-Star-Telc-
gram.

4 NAGAB0ND SONG

There Is something In the autumn
that Is native To my blood
And my heart Is like rhyme.
With the yellow and the purple and
the crimson keeping time.
The scarlet of the naples can shake
me like n cry
OF bugles going by.
And my lonely spirit thrills
to see the frosty asters like a snake
upon the hills.
There Is something In October sets
the gypsy blood astlt:
We must rise and follow her.
When from every hin Of flame
She calls and calls each vagabond by
name.
