Our Chinese.

1t gives the average and conserva.
tive Washingtonian q keen feeling
that the world does move when he
reads that the Chinese Of the capital
hold a celebration to mark the tenth
anniversary Of the Republic Of China.
They celebrate It in a fashion with
which we are familiar--that is. by a
banquet and speeches extolling the
merit Of republican doctrine. Nearly
everybody knows, II one stops to
think a minute, that China is classed
as a republic and has an officer called
president, but it taxes the head to
conceive It. We have thought ever
since we were children Of China as a
monarchy-an empire-with a Chinese
wall around it, and with an emperor
q hundred generations descended from
other emperors, sitting in gorgeous
" and fantastically carved throne
chair, with humble vassals cooling
him with the soft breeze Of fans made
from peacock tails, and with banners
covered with dragons hanging from
the ceiling.
Our Chinese are now republicans in
that they have gone in for a republic.
and are democrats now that they
have gone in for democracy. It Is
progress!

who put it In writing, as q succession
OF sounds which could be reproduced
In our letters by the. syllables 'gwar-

sounded to the explorers as ''gwar-

Of the land they lived in. the name of
their tribe, the name Of their chief or
were saying to the explorers. 1--WE bid

The explorers took the liberty of re-
naming the island San Salvador, or
Holy Savior. Names Of the islands
changed. New names superseded old
ones, and the question for centuries
has been which island it was that the
natives are thought to have called
Guanahani and the Columbian adven.
turers San Salvador. Cat Island and
Waiting Island both claim the distinc-
ton of having been the landing place
of Columbus. Attwood's Key, or Sa-
mana, has been picked by some as the
historic place. Turks Island claims the
honor, and some learned men lean to
the Island Of Mariguana as the old
Guanahani and San Salvador of Co.
lumbus. The Island of New Providence
is also a contender for the laurel of
having given Columbus his first foot

Blue Sky Law.

Blue sky laws. designed to protect
credulous persons against unscrupu.
lous promoters and clearly suspicious
schemes for exchanging stock certiti
Gates for money, have been adopted
IN g number of states. The enactment
of these laws was in response to a
general demand that stock swindlins
should be made difficult and that con,
dding people should be protected. II
IL not likely that the laws have done
all the good that was hoped Of them
because there are SO many persons
who will not be guarded against
temptations set up by shrewd plotters
But that these laws have saved money
to very many persons who would have

believed. The laws seem to be work

Hoover's Warning.

Herbert Hoover has sent orders to
the heads of the American relief in
Russia that any worker who engages
in political activity shall he sent home
Immediately. And that, though dif-
ficult order to enforce. is one that Is
greatly to the credit of the United
States. 1t is not quite equal to the
return Of the Boxer indemnity fund
to China. but it approaches 1t. The
return of the indemnity was an active
act of friendship. Hoover's warning
not to use relief of Russia as an ex-
cuse for overturning the socialist
government is a passive act Of honor.
It ought to have the approval OF the
whole nation. There is such thing
as fair fighting, and even though the
majority of Americans may be con-
yinced that the Russian experiment
will fail, and ought to fail, they Will
also insist that there be no sleight OF
hand about the giving of greatly
needed help. The causes of that FAM
inc are mixed. Russia says the al
lied blockade caused il. while France
says it is the result of socialist fall
ure. But, whatever the cause, Herbert
Hoover has made the appropriate ges-
ture-San Francisco Call Gndepend-

SHOOTING STARS.
By PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Not Among Those Seeking.
In the talk Of unemployment
Which has ruffied life's enjoyment,
have waited for some mention tc

OF need Of occupation
In a most important station.
Which our family. will see is well
repaid.
Now my sisters and my mother,
Not to mention my small brother,
Have to lend a hand to keep the
household fed.
Very much against his wishes,
Father helps to wash the dishes,
And the dinner hour is something
that we dread.

Though reports Of unemployment,

The Districts Right.

Postmasters from all parts Of the
United States, gathered in great con-
vention here, will carry back to their
respective communities the story of
Washington's unrepresented voteless
condition, how the District Is larger in
population than seven states, pays
more taxes and sends more men to
war than many states, yet has nc
voice In the national councils.
Commissioner Oyster and. other
speakers have placed souarely before
the postal workers the un-American
condition In which the people Of the
National Capita. are placed. denied the
right Of representation in Congress
and the electoral college. It 10 q salts
flying thought to the residents Of this
city that these postmasters. returning
to the people they serve. will take
with them true estimate Of the politi-
cal condition Of the people at the seat
of government of the United States.
Postmasters are human beings, and
daily have close contact with human
beings. Therefore. II these men dc
nothing more than carry the story OF
the characterization Of the Ma
tional Capital to their constituents
the conventions here will have been
very much worth while in the service
of Q great issue.
For the issue IL great one. as great
in it's way az many issues which now
occupy pages in the history of the
country. OF this let the postmasters
be assured. When any large com
munity of this country Is denied the
right to have its senator's and repre-
sentatives. is denied the privilege OF
having a voice in its own government,
the issues raised by those who labor
for those rights is 4 great issue, a mo-
mentous issue. an issue which must
take first place until its objects are
won.

Patience and the Jobless.

The jobless have observed that the
country is not indifferent to their
plight; that the response to the Presi
dents initiative in their behalf has
been prompt: that organization work
Is going forward on wide scale; that
their number Ia already decreasing.
This observation will Of itself make
for good. 1t will make for patience;
and at time like the present patience
is a great factor all around. The en-
ployed as well as the unemployed have
need OF il. Nearly everything is out
of plumb. and time is required to set
things right again.
Naturally, the man without job
wants a job. and wants it as quickly
as possible. He does not want to be
dependent on others for his rations,
and especially when able to work and
give good return for them.
As naturally. the man with a job
should strive to keep It; to give full
return for the money he receives: 70
aid In every way the interests Of those
by whom he is employed. 1t Is not q
time when one may expect to have his
own way. He must, II he is to pros.
per and assist in the prosperity Of
others, accommodate himself to an un-
usual situation.
Disorder would simply increase
existing embarrassments. 1t would in.
jure everybody. and nobody more sig.
naliy than the man appealing to it in
a spirit of impatience with conditions
that patience alone can fully remedy.

The Pennsylvania Senatorship.

Gov. Sproul denies the report that
he viii resign and accept appointment
to thA senats. But he does not deny
the Jepurt that he Will be candidate
next year for a full senatorial term.
The governor, with every warrant.
cherishes a senatorial ambition. He is
associable with the office. He has been
a success in his present Office. He is
recosnized as one Of the strong men
Of the state: Is a republican Of pro-
gressive tendencies. and on good terms

The governor announces that the
successor to Mr.. Knox, whom he Will
name, will be worthy Of the appoint.

The appointee viii take his seat In

Pennsylvania Is always alert, in
Congress and out, when the tariff Is in
hand for revision. 1t strikes her where
she lives. She is a great producing
state, and therefore interested In poll
cies preserving the American markets.
But the tariff does not alone express
her republicanism. Other issues have
engaged her, and for years she has
been the strongest Of republican
strongholds. The republican majcri-
ties there have set the pegs.
For several reasons, therefore, the
man who by appointment succeeds Mr..

Build Quickly Our Needed Schools.

With reason the capital community
and our legislature are impatient at
delays in building the schools and hos.
pitals which our legislature has au-
thorized, and for which it has appro-
priated on our vigorous representa-
tions of urgent need. The community
must know the reason why we con-
tinue to suffer from lack Of certain
public buildings which we have repre-
sented to be and which are, in fact,
pressing emergency community needs.
The Senate committee which will as.
certain and correct the delaying con.
ditions is composed of legislators who
have been sympathetic with Washing.
tons school needs, and have been in
telligently and effectively active in
meeting them by legislation and appro-
priation. They will take a personal.
wholesome interest in removing the
obstacles which have impeded the con-
version of appropriations into the
Washington so sorely suffers.
One point Of congestion and delay
in the administrative machinery which
converts appropriations into buildings
and puts them to work quickly in the
community interest is obviously the
municipal architects Office. The Inu-
nicipal architect contends that his
force is Inadequate to handle quickly
and all at once the planning work for
the volume Of building construction
which has accumulated through war
time neglect and which we are now
attempting to bring up to date. and
appeals for a Strengthening Of his
force. His contention and appeal will
undoubtedly be carefully sifted and
duly considered by the Senate com.
mittee.
The Commissioners, the school au.
ttorities and Congress are Of one mind
in the earnest desire to make the capi.
tails public school system approximate
as closely as possible the model system,
and the heartiest cooperation among
these representa- tives Of the capital
community in the campaign to house
adequately our public school pupils is
assured in advance.
