states from which the largest number of visitors

main highways diverge the San Luis and San Juan,
the Cunnison and the Colorado valleys, thus open

beauty and grandeur.
Those persons who do not travel the state roads
not realize the rapid progress that is being made by
the state government and the federal government in
developing the state highways. This year there are

Peace and Publicity

An animated controversy is progress concerning the
amount of publicity that to be given to the proceed
ngs of the disarmament conference that is soon meet
in Washington
1t is undoubtedly true that there good arguments
who demanding that all the discussions shall be
public have the support of almost universal public
sentiment, while the diplomats of all nations who will
have charge of the national interests the conference
are practically unanimous in declaring that secrecy is
essential element in satisfactory and successful
conference of this kind.
In this connection it may be remembered that Pres-
dent Wilson, who went to Paris advocate of pitt
less publicity in the peace negotiations, changed his
mind when in contact with the actual conditions of
that conference.
AS general proposition, the advocates of executive
sessions, from which reporters excluded,
doubtedy right in their contentious. Full publicty
the early stages of such conference is very likely
to bring results that make agreement impossible and
the assumption that "open agreements openly arrived
att to the peoples interest than those nego-
tated in the usual is not warranted.
The of the disarmament conference presents a
peculiar condition. This conference called as
suit of a very unusual manifestation of public sent-
ment, particularly in the United States, but
tent in all civilized nations. And the success of the
conference depends largely upon the degree to which
the desire of the people is put into effect by the dplo
mats who attend the conference.
So far the United States concerned there is no
to question the sincerity of the representatives
of the American people in that conference President
Harding and the whom he chooses to act in the
conference known to he lovers of peace advo
Gates OF disarmament. The obstacles that may arise
will come from other than the American gov
ernment or the American people. There is then an
unusual and special why the conference should
be conducted in such that the popular senti
ment toward peace shall be made most effective
The people of the United States will insist upon know
ing the character and the of any obstacles OBJ
ections to the peace policy and in any such OBJ
jetions should arise the people of other lands will be

PAX Chu Chan. who has been studying
medicine and theology at American
universities.

years II has been against the law to

people do not understand that there

The queue was "ne Of the strong

America was stu ttruEgling with its

and dominated China at that time.
The Manchu prince disarmed the
Chinese people, but there were 5000. 900
Manchurinns against several hundred

to braid their hat into a queue. This

1t is of course evident that conference without any
privacy as impossible conference without any
publicity and the person that expects either of these
two extremes will surely be disappointed. But in
general way it that the disarmament conference
should have than the usual amount of publicity,
that the peoples of the world, and particularly the
American people, shall be kept fully Informed of what
is taking place. and that the interests of peace and of
civilization will be better served by full publicity for
all the proceedings of the conference than by the sort
of policy that was followed in Paris.

toned as having been especially i'm
portant in helping to awaken China
from her letharsy.
One Is the determined struggle
against opium which Las led the gov
ernment to prohibit the poppy being
grown. II n farmer raises a small
| patch of poppie, IN his garden the
ernment. And in one rsprescntati tive
| province tho penalty for smoking
opium is hne tof the first offense,
| Imprisonment for the second, and tho
third time the offender is cured-he
is executed
The main difficulty In the drug situ-
alton is that Japan smuSgles opium
! and morphine thru Shantung. China
claims that that II ono reason why
Japan wants to mold the province. and
this smugslins hampers the govern
ment in its EFFORTS entirely to stamp
out the drug habit.
The other big advance IL the new
alphabet which replaces the old ~. 900
characters OF tho Chinese written
| language. Mr. Chan points out that
this written Language was Ike the
old Egyptian hlero elyphics. and that
sign Ike two legs running represents
a man. Another like a figure with arms
TINT seems to be sitting down is the
symbol for n woman-she could not
run. Tho sign for {: cow looks like two
horns and n tnil. and a fiat back. long
tail. four legs. represents a horse.
II was so hard to master the classics

sometimes spent ali their lives in the
attempt. The cD'nmon people more
