do yOu get my meaning, Mr.. Citi-
1eni Well, It's the straight goods.
That was what they told US boys
in the Army in 81 and it was good
advice. Whenever the boys Jagged

and were allow in executing commands
We got thesprder to ""Snap Out Of IT,

chests out, and had to put some pep

It With which #wesswent$ ct our Job Is
what won the war for the Union.
Now, Mr.. Citizen: if we tell you
the truth don't get sore. Just take
Tin and profit by it. You have been
gazing around this town for the past
few months with your chin down on
the third button Of your vest and II
yoluSever had curly hair it has all been
Strengthened out with suffering. You

wssmight put up with your looks II
it weren't for what you say You
howl and say these r hard times.
every thing is quiet nothing doing:
meneys Is awful tight. What il. the
devil did the commissioners want to
putsthe city in debt for. Just to pave
q few streets when times are 80 hard,
Wa will see worse times than these
before the year is out. Now, Mr..
Citizen, this will never do. You will
have to "SNAP OUT OF IT" The
BUSINESS men that are live wires and
others like them think il deplorable
the way you knock. Nov idontget
the idea that these men have 9 sci
fish motive in wanting You TO do .
little boosting for your city. They
are public spirited citizens and want
to see the city thrive. So when you
complain, you knock your nsighbors
and friends and slow your own
chances for business success.
Just open up your thinking trap
and you will 0 see that no bust
ness is going to come to Devils Lake
so long az the citizens refuse to boost
for IL.
Mr.. Knocker; Just stop and think
q moment andsyou will agree with me
that the present business depression
is largely duest state Of public
mind. The public is sitting on busi-
ness and it is sitting on itself. The
thing to do, is to get up and go to
work. The world is short Of food
stun, Of homes, short Of nearly ev-
erything which it takes for men to
live Ia comfort and happiness. e It -
time L, speed up production and make
things hum. SO Mr.. Knocker for
Gods sake asNAP OUT OF IT.n
Il you can't saS~anything good you

that the President may. be expected
to appear in the role of mediator.
or. If necessary, to appeal to the gov
ernments which sent their delegates
here.
President Harding has the habit of
reposing full faith in the men he ap.
points to Office and in conceding good
faith to those who are appointed by
others to confer with them. He an
nounced in his opening address that
he had faith" that this conference
would accomplish along practical
lines what it was called upon to
achieve. While he spoke earnestly.
yet softly, the President will never
lose sight of the mark he set up for
the conference to shoot at nor fail
to keep the conference aimed. as it is
now aimed under the guidance of the
American delegation, in the right di-
rection.
Roosevelt In Same Position.
The last American President to oc-
cupy the trategic position which
President Harding now holds was
Theodore Roosevelt at the time of the
Portsmouth peace conference. AL
though the United States was only
the host nation OF that conference.
President Roosevelt was kept in close
touch with it's deliberations. When
the final crisis was reached, President
Roosevelt did not hesitate to appeal,
not only to the delegates. but to their
governments, for a happy solution.
and his efforts were. rewarded in
spirit and in letter.
1t may well be that the present con-
ference on the Limitation Of arma-
ment will conclude it's work happily
by the methods suggested by the
President in his opening address. If.
on the contrary. in the heat of con-
sideration of the details of the pend
ing proposals. both as to armament
and far eastern questions, the confer
ence should lose sight of the main
detectives, President Harding is wait
ing patiently at the White House to
administer tine antidote.

JAPAN WOULD LIMIT

guidance of the conference on the

nit that issue to be Joined on q

Ito policies and principles which are
to guide future actions" of all ma
tons in China. If 1T shall appear. in
subsequent developments in the con-
ference. that this is. in fact. the Jap
anese position, it means that Japan
is in favor of maintaining the status
quo in China and is opposed to any
retroactive action by this conference
looking either to an examination OF
treaties. agreements. concessions or
other advantages obtained in or from
China in the past.
Problem for China.
While this conclusion of the Japa-
nese statement is a formidable sug-
gestion in itself. the opening indict-
ment OF China by Japan that exist
ing difficulties in China lie no less in
her domestic situation than in her ex-
ternal relations" is likewise a tough
nut for the Chinese to crack. Between
these two suggestions lies Japan's OPP
position to foreign Intervention in
China. her statement of desire to per-
nit China to work out her own des-
tiny and her reiteration OF adherence
to the policy of the open door," her
denial Of desire for ANY special rights
or privileges" in China and her oppo-
sition to withdrawal Of extrater-
ritorial rights in China at this time.
Taking the Japanese statement as
whole, it appears that Japan has no
desire to extend her position in China
desires peace and quiet in the far east
on the status quo. and that she will
be satisfied hereafter to take no spe-
cial rights and privileges in China

President Warren G. Harding Is quiet
~ sitting in the background with his
hand on the pulse of the conference on
the limitation Of ornaments. ready to
diagnose and remedy any unfavorable
symptoms or any crisis which may de-
velop. Having launched the conference
by the delivery Of one Of the most no.
table state papers in the history OF the
government, the worth Of which was
temporarily lost in the excitement oc-
casioned by the simultaneous presenta-
ton of the American plan for naval
disarmament, the President has been
content to withdraw from the picture
until such time as the conference may
require the further services OF plenary
physician who has full power OF de-
cision in his hands.
When he addressed the conference at
its opening session. President Harding
gave voice to the hope of the world that
peace on earth and good will might be
reflected in the achievements OF this
conference in the direction of under
standing and disarmament: The Presi-
dent knew in advance that what he
said would probably be effaced for the
moment by the sensational proposals Of
the American delegation, but he con-
tented himself with the erection OF the
first monumental milestone which can
always be pointed back to when occa-
sion arises-namely, the hope of the
world and the duty of governments to

Any one who knows the quiet de-

when he is sure he is right will not
be confused by his self-effacement
from the limelight of the conference
at this time. The American delega-
ton Is the representative of the gov
eminent of which he is the head. and
with characteristic farsightedness the
President is reposing his faith in that
delegation, which up to this time has
conducted itself with a sense of re-
sponsi bility and discretion worthy of
the highest traditions of American
diplomacy. The conference itself is
in it's infancy. The issues are now

Few Seek Political Autonomy.
Absolutely political and legislative
autonomy is not desired by the great
majority of the Slovak people. Such
autonomy would necessitate financial
autonomy as we'll, but Slovakia.
plundered as it was by the former
Magyar regime, is not financially self
supporting. A further reason why the
majority of the Slovaks do not de-
sire political autonomy is that they
do not regard themselves as form
ing a subordinate minority in the
state. but wish to take an active part
in the affairs Of the state on an
equal footing with the Czechs.
There is. however. party in Slo-
vakia-the so-called peoples party
which, under the leadership Of Father
Hlinka,. is endeavoring to obtain
political autonomy. But this party
is in the minority. At the parlia-
mentary elections in April, 1919, 1t
obtained only $4,000 votes out of
total of 1.000.0s0 Slovak votes. Yet
even this party takes it's stand I'M
waveringly upon the basis of the
Czechoslovak republic. Neither in the
national assembly nor in the senate
does it ever take action as an in
dependent body or as an Independent
political club. It's twelve representa-
Club Of the Czechoslovak Peoples
Party" the chairman of which is
Mgr. Sramek, Czech. the vice chair
man being Father Hlinka.
Since being liberated from the Mag
vars Slovakia has made great prog
ress. especially as regards education.
During the Magyar regime all schools
were in the hands of the Magyars.
With the exception of a few schools
where the work was carried on by a
handful of teachers who were evan
gelical for the greater part, the in
struction was Magyar, both in letter
and spirit. After the liberation Of
Slovakia it was necessary to provide
schools of a Slovak character, at least
in those districts inhabited by Slo-
walks in compact masses. AS the
sufficient. the work was carried on
with the help of Czech educators. To-
day there are more than 1000 ele-
mentary schools. secondary schools.
