LIMrrAr1oN OF ARMAMENT.

The conference at Washington in November, to
which the several nations of the world have been in
vited by President Harding, has by the wrong use of
terms, grown to be known as the disarmament con-
gress. 1t is not only a misnomer, it is an error. One
that is misleading in this country where there has been
so much said and written about it, whatever may be
the situation in other countries who have been invited
to send delegates. The word disarmament has been
so generally employed by newspapers that it is well to
go back to the presidents invitation and see exactly
and purpose of the convocation.
On July 10th the state department issued a state
ment to the effect that 'The President in view of the
far reaching importance of the question of limitation
of ornaments" had asked the powers if it would be
agreeable to them to participate in a conference on
the subject. "It is manifest" continued the state
ment, 'that the question of limitation of ar4aments
has a close relation to Pacific and Far Eastern prob
lens" and it was suggested that those subjects be also
considered at the meeting.
Favorable replies to the informal invitation were re-
ceived, whereupon Secretary Hughes despatched for
NAL messages to the five powers asking them to attend
a meeting on Armistice Day. Those messages began
as follows: ''The president is deeply gratifed at the
cordial response to his suggestion that there should be
a conference on the subject of limitation of ar1na-
ment", etc. "In pursuance of the proposal which has
been made" concluded the invitation, "and in the
light of the gracious indication of its acceptance, the
president invites the government of --
TO participate in a conference on the subject of limi-
tation of armament in connection with which Pacific
and Far Eastern questions will also be discussed, to
be held in Washington on the 18th day of November,
1921"
There is no hint of disarmament" in any of the ne
gotiations that have led up to the conference, but so
prevalent has become the use of the term that Secre-
tary Hughes has deemed it necessary to remind the
public that the meeting was known as q conference
on the subject of the limitation of armament" and
that the use Of the term disarmament" conveyed a

THE VALUE OF NEWSPAPERS.

Recent educational tests have shown a deplorable
lack of knowledge of current events among pupils of
high schools and students of colleges. Some of our
higher institutions of learning have recognized the
need Of greater attention to the subject, and are in
shutting special courses with that end in view. West
Point military academy is an example. Two metro
politan daily newspapers are delivered to each cadet
daily, and he is expected to report to his class the
items of interest contained therein, and give to each
its proper news value. The same sort of instruction
should be adopted in other schools.
Already commercial interests have sensed the need
of greater attention to current events in the schools,
and have undertaken to publish sheets purporting to
give a condensed daily resume Of important news. But
knowledge of current events gained from such sources
is bound to be Influenced by the economic and polt-
ical beliefs of the compiler and editor; in fact, one
such periodical is redolent with propaganda in ad-
vocacy of American membership in the league Of ma
lions. Far better it is for a regular daily newspaper
to be the subject of class study than for the pupils to
be given one of those inspired sheets. Occasionally a
teacher will be found who will pervert his teachings
of current history to suit his own prejudiced opinions.
but the majority will treat the subject fairly, and GER
tainly the average of newspapers and the average of
teachings therefrom will rank higher than anything
cleaned from the canned current events" so often
served up to unsuspecting students.

NEEDS REPUBLIcANIsM.

Richmond, the capital of Virginia. is a beautiful
city, with broad and well-kept boulevards ornamented
with statues and memorials in honor of those states
men and warriors whom mi the south holds dear. But
in all of Virginia outside Of the capital there is no such
manifestation Of beauty and public Improvement. Ex-
cept where the Federal government built highways at
national expense, there are few good roads in Vir-
ginia, notwithstanding state taxes have been high for
many years Most of the roads are miserably bad. II
Virginia politics, the contests have heretofore been
decided in the Democratic primaries, the general cleo
ton being merely a matter of ratification. Old preju-
dices have practically barred any man who ran on a
Republican ticket. Democratic bosses have be,n able
to capitalize the old preiudices and keep themselves in
control Of state finances and state expenditures. But
now it looks as though the virginians are getting a
little tired of being made the goat. They have before
them a Republican candidate for governor who stands
high in the business and social world of the "Old
Dominion" and who has a program OF public policy
that appeals to the average citizen. Reasoning that
their state government could not possibly be worse,
many citizens who have heretofore voted the party
ticket straight, may very likely vote this year for the
Republican nominee in the hope of getting for state
affairs some of the reforms the Republicans have in
stituted in national administration. They certainly
will IL they are wise.

A FAIrHEuL

The people of Casper have found Rev. Walter L.
French of the Methodist Episcopal church to be a very
earnest and sincere man, faithful in the important
work that has occupied him among US for the past
three years. During his pastorate the church has
f%ourished, the membership increased and the attend
ance has been uniformly large. There has been un-
usual interest in the Sunday school, necessitating en-
larged quarters.
Mr.. French has been assigned to Laramie and will
remove within a few days with his family to their new
home. The good wishes, not only of the local con-
gregation, but of a large circle of friends and ac-
quaintances throughout the city go with them.

number Of Japanese fruit pickers
and melon field workers from the
Turlock district early "Wednesday
was begun by Sheriff R. L. Dallas
and Dist Atty W. j. Brown OF stan
islaus county. No arr ests we're mad.
Eighty eight male Japanese work
ers were forced to leave the district.
according to corrected figures issued
by the police. The women and chill
dren and japanese lease holders
were not molested. Official figures
showed that the mob Of whites who
forced the Japanese 20 leave after
putting them on automobile trucks
was conn osed OF 100 men.
The mob worked silently and was
helped TO some extent by the moon.
The japanese were reused and given
a certain time in which 10 dress AMI
collect their belongings and were
then ordered TO motor trucks and
driven away.
Stanislaus county officials blamed
the trouble on Industrial Workers o.

anese remained az work under the

DISPATCH TROOPS
To SILESIAN AREA

LONDON. July 20. 1t is under
stood in official quarters that Great
Britain considers the dispatch Of
more troops TO Upper SILICA unnec-
essary and impossible. and that all
the facts with regard to Silesia al

courCll. At the same time II is held
TO be unnecessary to summon COM

Lord Curzon. the secretary for
foreign affairs, recently sent r note
20 Paris suggesting that a meeting Of

logne, July IS. Prior to the dis
patch of this note il Is understood
Lord Curzon held a conference
with the French ambassador here
with regard 10 Silesia and other mat
tiers pressing for solution by the SUI
prcme council. and that the foreign
secretary outlined the necessity for
a meeting Of the council before the

ABANDON PLANS FOR
PRELIMINARY MEET

LONDON, July 20.-It is believed
that the idea Of holding a preIim-
mary disarmament and Pacific con-
ference in London will be abandoned.
Instead of the proposed prelim-
mary conference. there Will be held
here a conference between the Brit
ish cabinet ministers and the do
minion premiers. This conference
will be devoted, first, to a discussion
Of the policy and representations of
the British empire at the Washing
ton conference and second, to the
ACCESSIBILITY Of asking the Washing
ton government to postpone the dis
armament and Pacific conference to
some other date than November II.
1t is considered likely here that
the Washington conference will not
assemble for some months. possibly
not until spring.
