WEST BURKE
Chautauqua Success and Will
Return Next Year

The Swarthmore Chautauoua
was a visitor in our village the
first three days of the past week,
and was greatly enjoyed. Every
one got more than their moneys
worth and we are glad to announce
that they are coming next wear.
The Fara Grove Sextet was the
musical feature OF Monday, and
was pronounced by all the best
concert of the course. The sopra-
no and tenor, who entertained on
Tuesday afternoon and evening,
were wonders in execution, and the
tenor's voice was very good. but
they made a mistake in giving
nearly all their numbers in Italian
and their music was too dramatic
for an audience of this kind. The
quartet on Wednesday, was good,
and gave pleasure to their listen
ers.
The lecture by Wolfred Lind
strom Monday evening, was full of
vital interest, and from start to
finish was full of inspiration. Paul
Pearson's lecture, the following
evening, was equally as good,
though of an entirely different
type. Mr.. Pearson said some 5plen-
did things, and his rendering of
Poe's Bells, and two of Kipling's
poems, as well as one by Guest,
was highly artistic. The work
done by the Junior Chautauqua in
three hours, was demonstrated the
last evening and was a great sur
prise to everyone. We were proud
Of the children of West Burke, and
we believe the Chautauqua has
brought to them, and to the older
ones as W II, much real lasting
good.

Cong. Dale Leads
Fight for His State

435, where it stands today, are not
concerned in the outcome of the
fight on reapportionment since
they will suffer no reduction in
representation if the present num-
erieai strength of the House is
maintained under the fourteenth
census.
There has been no more consis-
tent foe to reduced apportionment
and no more energetic champion
OF numerically larger House than
congressman Dale. He took an
important part in the controversy
that waged in the House last Jan
uary over this proposition and
since that time he has been quiet
~ alligning recruits for the larger
House, bringing to bear upon the
problem all the force of his very
considerable influence among his
colleagues. Today he is more than
ever for the proposition embodied
in the Seigel bill.
If the strength of the present
opposition to an increased member
ship is to be measured by the vote
taken on January 10, 1921, how
ever, it is clear that the propon-
ents of the bill have an uphill fight
befole them. On that date the
vote upon Congressman Barbour's
amendment to fix the membrsmp
at 435 stood 267 for and rs
against. This settled the matter
so far as the House was concern
ed at that time, but when the
amended bill came over to the
Senate for concurrent action it
was allowed to slumber quietly in
the files of the then Committee on
Census and was never awakened
before the expiration of the Con-
gress on March 8.
Since all legislation that remain
ed unenacted at the close of the
Congress died automatically it be-
came necessary to relntroduce a
reapportionment bill, and the Sic
gel bill now before the House, is
in the nature of a compromise
measure. The bill upon which the
House originally voted called for
membership of 485, which would
have had the, effect of preserving
to all the States their full repre-
sentation. Under the Siegel bill
Maine will be called upon to face
reduction in representation, but
both Vermont and Rhode Island
will be spared that fate.
In this connection it is interest
ing to note that at one time in her
history Vermont had no fewer
than half a dozen representative
in the House. That was more than
century ago, back in 1810-1820.
Under the original Constitutional
apportionment of course only the
thirteen original States were ac-
corded representation, with Vir-
ginia leading the list at ten, and
Rhode Island and Delaware bring
ing up the tail end of the pro-
cession with one each. Then, as
a result of the first census (1790)
Vermont, having been admitted,
was given two Congressman. The
second census reapportionment adj
ded two, and with the third, in
1910, came the maximum number
to represent Vermont in the lower
house. Under the fourth census
and again under the fifth the State
lost one representative. Still an
other was sacrificed under the
sixth, and the seventh, in 1850, cut
the membership from the Green
Mountains down to three, where
it remained through the eighth
and ninth, until 1880, when fur
Their reduction to two was made,

CHINA is NOW

ben closed for the past month was
But why should China look to us
to help her out of her troubles?" in
quired Jack, breaking into the con-
versation that was going on as the
family gathered in the sitting room
after the evening meal.
Uncle Ted had been giving an ac-
count of the arrival in the United
States of foreign representatives in
preparation for the conference on
limitation of ornaments. He had
commented on the fact that the Chin
ese delegates were among the first
arrivals and that they were seeking
TO interest the United States in their
defence against the claims of ia
PAN"
HAS China ever done anything
for us?" inquired Ruth.
mo. China has never done any
thing for the U. S. in particular, re-
piled Uncle Ted, "and there is no
special obligation on our part to help
her out of her troubles but it is
quite natural that China should
come to us first for aid"
"Why?" inquired Jack.
well, you see," responded Uncle
Ted, "among all the important ma
tions of the earth the United States
is the only one that has proved to
be an unselfish friend Of China in
the past. Now that seems like a
harsh thing for an American TO say,
but it is literally true. l can remem-
Der that when l was boy in the
common schools one of our new ge-
ographies had change in the map
of China and we were told that Indo-
China had become a part of France.
The French simply went in and took
it. Great Britain took another inn
portant port and Germany took con-
troll of another. Russia grabbed
some Chinese territory on the north,
and finally Japan provoked a war
with China and took possession Of
Corea Russia has been claiming
some rights in Manchuria. which was
supposed to be a sort of Chinese
province, and Russia and Japan went
to war and Russia was whipped, or
rather, the war was brought to an
end when Russia was getting the
worst of it. Anyway, Japan practi-
cally took away China's interests in
Manchuria. Then when the Europe
an war broke out Japan Joined on
the side of the Allies against Ger
many and went in and took posses
sion of the German concessions in
China.
"But / am getting ahead of my
story. You remember, perhaps, of
hearing about the Boxer troubles in
China. That happened before you
were born, but 1t is in your history
and II you haven't come to II yet, you
will some day. Well, anyway, the
truth about 1t is that a very large
number OF Chinese got angry about
the way other nations we're grabbing
their territory and demanding the
right to control their commerce,
their railways, etc. These Chinese
started trouble such as we would
call riot or a rebellion in this coun-
try. They acted without the orders

of the Chinese government and in
defiance of the government, and yet
suspect that the government Off
Gals were a whole lot in sympathy
with them. The Boxers were not
mad at any foreign government in
particular. but at all foreigners. They
,ot only attacked foreign private cit
liens but they attacked the foreign
embassies-the places where the rep
resentatives of foreign governments
live--and they killed some people
and imprisoned others. In order to
rescne those who were beseiged, the
other leading nations went in with
troops-all the important nations
sending some soldiers. The United
States sent some. As result peace
was restored and China apologized
for the outrage The other nations
demanded damages - indemnities.
China agreed to pay the damages but
this country declined to accept any
more than enough to reimburse priv
ate claims.
Now you can understand why
China looks upon the United States
as her one unselfish friend Practi-
cally every other nation had been
grabbing Chinese territory, but the
United States never had Then, when
all the nations had been awarded
damages the United States declined
TO accept any for herself. Other ma
tons had provoked the Boxer upris-
ing and the Americans had not. But
it was the United States that showed
the only friendly and forgiying
spirit"
"But what is China in trouble
about now?" asked Jack.
well, as told you a moment ago,
when Japan went into the European
war, she took the German possess
sions in China. Then, while the war
was on, Japan made 81 demands in
China, which, if agreed to, would
mean that Japan would control
China for all future time. Japan
claims that China did virtually agree
to these demands but China denies
this.
II rather think that Great Britain
made sort OF agreement to uphold
Japan's claims, without knowing the
importanc they would play, and l
suppose the British government feels
that it must not oppose japan even
if it does not actively support it in
the unreasonable demands upon
China. But whatever the British
government does, the British people
will not stand for any such practice.
The governments of Australia and
Canada and South Africa, which are
British dominions, are opposed to
the Japanese aggressions against
China. The whole world, when it
comes to understand the situation,
will condemn Japan. But it looks
as though perhaps the Japanese dip
lomats during the war were TOO
smart for the British diplomats and
may have gotten them to agree to
too much. don't know whether
that is so or not, but we will know
pretty soon. I
