No go for the Wjnqs of a Dove"

Most all the great composers have
had to work under the most unfavor-
able conditions and have been held
back by Encouragement and lack OF
funds. Mendelssohn was happy ex-
ception to the rule, and while dis
couragements often served to urge
one on, this great composer succeeded
in spite of no such influence. The
Latin word Felix means happy, and
this characteristic is strongly marked
in MendeIssohn's makeup and has had
an influence on the music he wrote.
His music also has q touch of sweet
ness to it and might by some critics
be said to be weak. However, his

JAPAN, CHINA AND CONFERENCE

Japan welcomes the American pro-
posal which comes from the principle
Of humanity, and we believe that the
conference affords an excellent oppor-
tunity for the settlement, not only OF
Far Eastern problems centering on
China, but also of racial and emil
grafton questions. In these problems
Japan and China have common inter-
ests. IL the countries on the Pacific
are purged of racial prejudice and are
freely opened, not only the Shantung
question, which has been the source
of much dispute between Japan and
China, but minor questions relating
TO Japan's special position in Man
churia and Mongolia can be settled
without any difficulty.
Let US make a proposal TO China,
though ii may prove only an ideal.
That is, that at the proposed con-
ference japan and China in firm CO.
operation should propose the world
wide principle of the open door and
equal opportunity and obtain as much
international recognition for this
principle as for America s principle of
humanity Among the intelligent
kclasses of China there are some swho
share our views. 1t is to be hoped thai
az this golden opportunity Japan and
china will face the conference in real
co-opera ton and act positively for the
sake of the worlds peace.-Asah

Public spirit should be the underly-

JUST FOLKS
MAKING A MAN.
BY Edgar A. Guest

7 IN trying hard TO make a certain fe' :.
low here behave,
I'm trying hard to teach him when it's
proper to be grave,
I want TO make a man of him, the sort
of man / know
Who gets a welcome and smile wher :
ever he may go;
want him to be straight tnd true. /
want him to be strong,
A fine example for the boy who ,1ol-
lows him along.
I've set myself a mighty task, this
man l hope to change
Annoys me with his wilful way and all
his manners strange;
His temper is a sudden thing and when
he lets it fly
He's very likely to forget his boy Is
standing by,
And on such sad occasions j am al
ways grieved TO see
That he is not at all the man I've
wanted him to b..
/ try so hard TO make him walk the
broad and open way
And give so much Of thought TO hin
that when he goes astray
And does some petty selfish things
In pity more than blame
take him from the throng awhile ane
tell him of his shame.
Then for the boy who follows him, tn,
two of us agree
That i will keep on trying hard Il
make a man OF me.
