WOOD ONCE MORE RESPONDS

General Wood is to be the next governor of
the Philippine, Islands. His experience in col
onial government will undoubtedly make him
the best chief executive that the Philippines
hvae had since we took over those islands He
put Cuba on her feet and induced the Moro of
Mindanao to split coconuts instead of skulls
with his barong. Wood has one maxim the
value of which has been proved in every land ):
"A good road is the best missionary that can
be sent into any country" The island of Cuba
is network of fine roads built under Woods
administration, and the warpaths of Mindanao
are now the highways OF trade Like Harding,
Wood believes that appropriations for roads
are wasted unless something is done to insure
their upkeep, and in Cuba and Mindanao he in
stituted the so-called "caminero' system by
which a certain distance Of road is placed in
charge of man who keeps it in repair.
Not only will he prove to be an ideal colonial
governor, but he is in strategic position to
watch the developments and policies of GER
tain nation in that quarter of the globe whose
Hprotestations have not always squared with the
facts and whose consuming ambition is to Sc
cure complete control of the Pacific and the far
east. General Wood will be our listening post

the following time of day:

are blowing.
The clock in John English's hardware

it is one minute to twelve yet. The
construction engineer on Main street
says the whistles were five minutes
late, as he sits in the shade munching
his sandwiches.

question is as yet unanswered. What

CHINA SOUNDS A
DISCORDANT NOTE
Double Crossed in Conference
for Disarmament.
tBy Associated Press Leased wire.l

by Associated Press Leased Wirs.l
Picking Evidence supporting rumors
that the nternationalization of China
is being contemplated by the powers
is to be seen, asserts the vi Shih, a
nonepartisan newspaper of this city in
the American reply to Japan's effort to
obtain an outline of the agenda of the
conference on disarmament and Far
East questions to be held in Washing
ton this autumn.
Discussing the proposed conference
the newspaper says:
1.-The American note to China merely
said the conference would discuss Pa
cifc and Far Eastern questions, no re-
strictions being placed on the scope of
the discussion. The note to Japan,
however, says that America while un-
willing to accede TO the demand of the
Japanese government to restrict the
scope of the conference, still hopes the
American government will be able to
exchange opinions with view to
reaching some agreement.
This shows q preliminary confer
ence between the big powers is bound
to occur. Should America agree to a
preliminary conference with Japan and
England and omit mention of China
whether this betrays this secret desire
of those three countries to dispose Of
us 'incamera' or whether during the
preliminary conference Japan will give
part of the spoils to England and
America and SO win their GOOD will, is
less important than the tact that the
idea of preliminary conference can
lead only to a repetition of the YER
sailles conference where important
questions had to be decided by the
council of four before being submitted
to the representatives of small nations
making up the assembly"

WOMEN LOVE BUT ONCE.

Chicago-All the laurels for faith
full, lasting love were handed to the
women today by Leo Ditrichstein, the
great lover" of the American stage.
The only limit to the love affairs of a
man is the number of women in the
world-but woman tastes of love only
once in her life, according to the spe-
eialist in feminine affections.
"Man is a polygamous animal by ma
ture," Ditrichstein said. "He will love
one woman and go away to love others.
Women are different.
II have known many women to live
unmarried all their lives simply be-
cause they could not marry the man
they loved. But l have never known a
man to do that

PfGEON-HOLED!

The Sheppard ToWner maternity Dill IS pig
eon-hoed Hearings on it were concluded by
the House Interstate Commerce committee one
month ago. No report on it has been presented
to Congress and none drafted. The secretary
Of the committee says he has no idea when one
will be-
Meanwhile, Congress shapes it's affairs for
a recess When it gets back, there will be a
scramble to get action on tariff and taxation.
And the maternity bill will remain gathering
dust and cobwebs in the files of the committee
where it is buried
Each month, according to undisputed testi-
mony produced before the committee, more
than 1000 mothers die needlessly in child
birth
Each month hundreds of infant lives flicker
out when help, such as it is proposed to extend
through this bill, would save them.
Infant hygiene. and prenatal guidance for
mothers are not unexplored fields. Their sue
cess in cities, where they have been tried out
by local authorities, proves that they save
hves-lives by the hundred.
New York, through visiting nurses and in
FAINT clinics, has reduced it's death-rate due to
childbirth and infancy to the point where the
mother and infant in that crowded city, even
in its tenements, have better chance for life
than the mother and baby in the average coun-
try town.
Facts, not theories, are presented as a ~basis
for congressional action.
President Harding in addressing the open
ing sessionof the new Congress, declared:
II assume the maternity BILL already strong
ly approved, WILDE enacted promptly"
But it appears President Harding assumed
too much. The bill not only was not enacted
promptly-it was promptly buried

PLAYING TWO GAMES

Before sending her representatives to the
conference on ornaments, Great Britain takes
the precaution to tell the world that she will
add four big battle cruisers to her fleet, and
that these must be considered part of her
navy on plane with various battle cruisers
and battleships now in various stages. of con-
struction in the United States which were au-
thorized five years ago. Mr. Hughes will never
consent to that sort of a game. Paper fleets
cost nothing, and it will be no loss to Great
Britain to abandon them under an agreement
to limit naval ornaments. They must never be
accepted as an offset to American warships
upon which we have spent millions.
