AN ORIENTAL VOICE

Sioux City Journal-Dr. Wellington
Koo, Chinese representative at the as
sembly Of the league Of nations, has
found the key to the world wal spirit.
The United States declines to decrease
its armament. Consequently the rest
of the nations must keep their anna
ment to save themselves from abb
sorption and conquest by the greedy
and militant United States. China, OF
all nations, has a right TO believe in
the imperialistic policies Of America.
II returned the Boxer indemnity to
IMPOVERISHED China. 1t has preserved
order and built a quasi-nation OF PEG
pie. almost if not wholly capable OF
self government. in the Pacific. It's
people have taxed themselves for two
decades to keep a race of %orientaiS
from the clutches of exploiting IA
tons. It has done more in twenty
wears TO elevate oriental civilization
than Spain did in 200 years. 1t is
the only nation that has dealt with
China without corrupt or greedy mo
tives. Yet America is the stumbling
block in the way Of world disarma,
ment.
The complaisant oriental statesman
who makes this charge forgets that an
American ship never entered a for
eign port except to preserve order;
that an American gun was never fired
except in defense of the right; that
while Americas navy is the grim
agency of war if provoked, it has been
the harbinger of peace twenty years
for one of war. The nation is not
too proud to fight if provoked, but 1t
is too big to fight except when pro
voked beyond reason. But if it must
fight, the gods must help those who
are its victims. 1t fails, but
it never seeks a quarrel. The deluded
o~rientals ought to learn some Ameri-
can history before making interna-
tional statements,

FOR THE PUBLIC HEALTH

STABILITY, even the necessity, of in
vesting in Christmas seals and health
bonds at this season Of the year.
There was a time when this matter
was considered as a mere matter Of
charity in behalf Of other people far
remote from us. Those were the days
when the activities Of the Red Cross
were confined largely to foreign work,
and had not come as close to us as
they do now.
Now, however, the Red Cross move
ment has become an integral part of
the life of the American people. Every
state, every county feels its influence
and enjoys its benefits. So, there

CHECKS

Redfeld Journal Observer Mer-
emily on checks that it would not be
any wonder if they should make a
firm and fast rule to cash only such
checks as they positively know are
good and insist upon absolute identi-
f|ication of persons who offer checks
in payment for merchandise. Even
then, il is amazing to know some per-
sons of presumed responsibility whose
checks prove to be of no value. On a
recent visit to the Office of Sheriff
Wilhelm he showed the writer a bun
die of checks written by persons on
whom he had had to bear a heavy
pressure to get them to meet the obi
cations implied in the checks, with
the alternative Of meeting the pen
depositor who expects that the bank
can carry the overdraft which his
check makes, is imposing upon the
good will of the bank. And it is most
frequently TRUE IIdl the lldU WHO
writes the overdraft is the depositor
who has the least resources to back
up his obligations. One overdraft may
not be a burden, but when the cash
is balanced at night and the many
overdraftS run into thousands of dol
lars, that is one of the times when
the banker gets gray headed. But
the outstanding fact of the trouble
with checks is that they are passed
without adequate identification and
without proper knowledge on the part
of the merchant of the person who
wrote the check. So, if you are a
buyer who offers a check, don't get
peeved if the storekeeper insists upon
positive assurance that the check is

THOSE CHRISTMAS GIFTS

To those who are looking for help
on any yeXatious problem it is always
a good plan to sit down some evening
and read some old classic and dis
cover how the problem was solved in
former generations. On the Christmas
gift problem for example what could
be more apt than Ralph Waldo Elmer
sons essay on Gifts" written about
80 years ago and begins as follows:
at is said that the world is in a state
Of bankruptcy, that the world owes the
world more thar the world can pay,
and ought to 20 into chancery and
be sold. / do not think this general
insolvency, which involves in ON
sort all the population. to be the rea-
son of the difficulty experienced at
Christmas and New Year, and other
times, in bestowing gifts; since it is
always SO pleasant to be generous,
though very vexatious to pay debts"
In that period times were a great
deal harder than they are now, and
Mr.. Emerson was attacking a great
deal more difficult problem in his es-
say than co%nfronts any Christmas
giver of today. Yet he goes on and
presents a solution that is a delight
to read. Don't let your Christmas be
spoiled by pessimistic predictions that
the whole world is going bankrupt.
And if you are puzzled ove the choice

BETTER FOUNDATIONS NEEDED

Jack Frost and Merry Sunshine are
wrinkling the brows Of highway engi.
neers and contractors. Their pranks
are running expensive h~ard-surfaced
and paved highways. During the win
ter months, frost penetrates deep
under the road surface, freezing and
re-freezing the sub-soil numerous
times. Then, just like freezing water
breaks the water pipe, the sub-soil
bulges up and cracks the surface of
the highway. Rain and slush seeps
through these cracks, freezes again,
and the process of destruction goes
merrily on.
When spring comes, the final touches
are put on the breaking III Of the
road. The spring rains rush through
the yawning cracks and wash away
the sub-soil, leaving a hollow shell.
The warm sunshine aids in the de-
struction, drying the surface and
making it brittle. It's no time then
until the road crumbles away under
the heavy traffic impacts. Highway
engineers declare that rapidly increas-
ing highway travel is focusing the at
tention of road building experts to
this underlying cause of highway de
struction. They say that govern
mental and private agencies have, in
the past ten years, lost sight of ade-
Quate sub-grade soil treatment in their
eagerness to produce hard, wearre-
sisting surfaces for highways.
Men prominent in highway develop
ment now recognize the urgent need
of spending the necessary time and
money to build proper road founda-
tons and drainages before expensive
stretches of highway are constructed.

SUCCESS

It's doing your job the best you can
And being just to your fellowman;
It's making money, but holding friends,
And staying true to your aims and ends;
It's figuring how and learning why,
And looking forward and thinking high,
And dreaming a little and doing much;
It's always keeping in closest touch
With what is finest in word and deed;
It's being thorough, yet making speed;
It's struggling on with a will to win,
But taking loss with a cheerful grin;
It's sharing sorrow and work and mirth
And making better this good old earth;
It's serving, striving through strain and stress
It's doing your nobIest-that's Success.
