THE STATE highway department
an dthe people of Ashland have at
last become awake to the dangers
of the grade crossing on the State
Trunk Highway leading into Ash
land on Routes 10 and ID, and there
is a promise that the State Depart
ment will send engineers to Ash
lard for the purpose of eliminating
this crossing.
There is not a more travelled high
way in this part of the state. The
crossing referred to is the one
CROSSING the Omaha tracks leading
into the city of Ashland from this
city. This crossing is located at
about the middle of steep grade
and at least one accident has oc-
cured at this point and it is great
wonder that more accidents have
not occurred, for there is curve just
before the road turns to cross the
railroad tracks, and approaching
trains can not be seen.
For some time there has been
talk of having this road lead into
Ashland north of the track, along
the shore of Chequamegon bay,
thence going down first street
through Ashland. The expense of
this change would not be great and
it would not only eliminate the
crossing at this point but would
also eliminate the crossing in the
city OF Ashland where third street
crossed the Omaha tracks at an
other point.
The State Department had men at
Ashland during the past week to go
over this proposed route and to
make note of the dangers of the old
crossing and they have promised
to send engineers to lay out new
road which will eliminate this dam
ger.

WASHINGTON LETTER
BY J. E. JONES.

PRESIDENT ASKS SHOW
DOWN ON PEACE
President Harding has gone straight
to the point in asking Britain,
France, Japan and Italy to join in
a parley looking toward disarma-
ment. There was no little surprise
expressed in Washington when the
President brought the Pacific and
far Eastern problems into the fore
ground in his suggestions to the
powers that are to be asked to pass
upon the issues involved in reduc-
ing the amount of fighting machin-
cry in the world. This directness
of President Harding has been well
received by the country, which does
not have rluch patience with the COM
plicated and indirect methods adopt
ed by diplomas as the means of OBJ
tanning final understanding among
themselves. The United States
has assumed that the whole world is
tired of the game of spending most
of the taxpayers money for the
purposes of Defense. and it has car
ried out the expressed views of the
United States as voiced through
Congress aiming to narrow this race

Korea, has recently written book

TARIFF DECISION ON THE WAY

TAHITI DEClOlON YIN LIE WA II
The country has had good luck
at the new tariff bill, and the lower
house has anointed it with the usual
amount Of oratory. The bill is
perhaps as far from satisfactory
as any measure Of it's kind that has
ever been introduced in Congress
This does not imply that it is hope
lessly defective; but the changed
condition of world affairs has had its
reflex action on the tariff, and as a
result the making of bill at this
time is more experimental than it
was when the Payne-Aldrich or Nc
Kinley bills were enacted. The
Payne Aldrich bill defeated the Re-
publicans in 1910, and doubtless the
Underwood tariff later added to the
complications of the Democrats and
FASTENED their downfall in the cleo
tions. Just what effect the new
Republican tariff bill will have on
politics no one is in a position to
forecast at this time.

THE CASE OF KOREA

China and Korea do not ordinarily
interest the average American, but
as an incident to the Japanese dis
position to dominate the entire
Orient, they are of immense import
ance. The Japs are constantly adj
vertising the fact--which is indis-
putable-that they can take the

for armament down to point where
there will be something left for sol
diers' bonuses, better highways, and
other internal improvements. The
President, in bringing the question
of pacific and far Eastern problems
into the discussion at the very be-
ginning, has pointed out the only
matters in international relations
that threaten the peace fthe world,
Japan has been maintaining posi-
ton that is so ARROGANT that the
Washington Administration has
been Obliged to "hold on to itself"
for many years. The treaty rela-
tons between Britain and Japan
complicate the situation because
Greet Britain and United States are
the Two great world powers that
are looked to to maintain peace, and
it is little difficult TO rthe Ameri-
can Administration to understand all
the curves in the game that Great
Britain and Japan are playing on
the international ball field
The brass tacks of the world sit
uation today for peace lies in an
arrangement that will keep the
United States and Japan from going
to war. We may comfort ourselves
all we please about the improbable
i.y of such thing happening; but
the administration knows about the
situation is likely to become acute
at any time, and one does not need
to use magnifying. glass to dis
cover that the main cause for the big
naval appropriations, as well as the
activity of the American fleet in
the Pacific is due othe militarism
of the Japanese, which in every way
resembles the course followed by
Germany prior to 1914.
PRESIDENT HARDING AND
HIS CONFERENCE
President Harding is developing
the biggest assistant cabinet" that
has been known to the capital with
in the memory of the oldest inha-
bitant," including Uncle Joe Can
non, who used to sit on the doorstep
of the White House and talk over
the government business with Abra.
ham Lincoln. When President Hard
ing helped General Dawes launch his
plan for a budget system, Washing.
ton officials gathered in such great
numbers that the event seemed quite
familiar to thu people who had lived
at sometime in their lives in com
munities where the old town meeting
constituted the peoples forum. II
is dull day when President Hard
ing does not have conference with
large group of public officials
outside his cabinet. As conference
of this one finds the President dis

One might suppose that President
Harding's method would involve
more work than did the course of
his precedecessor but such is not
the case, as no one will attempt to
say that President Harding is as
assiduous worker as was Mr.. Will
son. His methods develope team
work while Mr.. Wilson will always
be accused of attempting to do the
whole thing himself" Only time
will tell whether the policy of Presi-
dent Harding is an improvement
over the methods of his predecessor
but his nearest friends are hopeful
of great success from his administra-
ton.
THE GEORGIA. FIRECRACKER
Senator Thomas E. Watson, of
Georgia, has been in pyrotechnic
eruption in politics for quarter of
a century, and it is not surprising
that he is creating big noises down
in Georgia. The war was not run
to suit him and he was in violent
disagreement with the policies of his
Government during the great con-
flict. But Georgia has done strange
things in the past, and it is not
odd that the state should have elect
ed Watson to the Senate. The high
est Legislative body in the world
furnishes great deal that looks
wrong to him. His pet aversion
right now is the Federal Reserve

Fighting Over Wool Tariff
In their fight on the wool tariff be

ARE becoming so scarce that a tariff
will work hardship upon them" The

We are told in a bulletin edited BY
Frederic Y. Coville, of the department
fof agriculture, that blueberries 2.
large as Concord grapes have been
produced by Adjudication. The fruit
named is the old swamp huckleberry
which grows on high bushes in the
| lowlands of several states, although
the lowbush BURBERRY is susceptible
of much Improvement.
