A house divided against itself can
not stand. And that is the reason
China and the league Of nations can
not keep their feet. AS to China, a
couple Of warning factions are "at it"
again, and the elimination promises
to bring disaster to both sides. China
has evolved from the stinkpot age,
when it's principal weapon of defense
was the evil-smelling and nauseating
bottle of abomination mentioned.
These stinkpots were hurled as are
modern hand grenades and they GER
tainly caused scattering of the OPP
posing hosts. Today Chinese war
riors are using all the modern engines
Of destruction artillery, airplanes,
and even poison gas, the latter being
contrary to the rules of the disarma-
ment conference. And they can thank
their hired European instructors for
putting them wise" to these things.
However, it is perhaps better thus a
defamation Of the Chinese hordes to
the extent Of fifty or sixty million
would be blessing to this old world
Of ours. At least that is the way the
writer looks at it.

You perhaps have heard of that old

It's truth is being confirmed at Genoa,

now trying to lay down the terms up
on which they will accept European

in return for acknowledging their pre-
war debts to European nationals and
restoring the private property of such
nationals confscated since the revolu-
ton, the allied governments shall pay
Moscow for the damage done in the
Russian civil wars following the
Brest-Litovsk treaty. The debts to
foreign nationals and the confscation

A WISE DECISION.

The county commissioners have
finally taken the decisive step and vot-
ed to submit to the taxpayers Of Mile
Laos county the question Of issuing
bonds to secure funds for erecting a
new court house. We believe the COM
missioners have acted wisely in re-
ferring this matter to the voters of the
county and they are to be commended
for their action. It IS the property
owners Of the whole county who will
have to pay for the new court house
and they are the men and women who
should have the privilege Of selecting
the time for erection of the building.
The Union has consistently opposed
all special legislation and any clever
maneuvering that would deprive the
people of this right A scheme that
would place all the responsibility on
the county commissioners was not
even fair to the five men who compose
that board. If the voters of the coun-
ty decide that it is not propitious
time for entering into a big building
project, the question can again be
placed before them at any time when
the people demand it. Public senti-
ment controls such matters.

A lesson may we'll be taken from
the book of France. We are cutting
down our timber at a greater rate
than new wood is being grown, we
are permitting the forests to be de-
stroyed by flames and are not replac-
ing them. Disaster will surely follow
unless there is a change of policy. 1t
is true that the public is beginning to
awaken to the situation, but the cor
receive measures so far adopted have
been entirely inadequate. There must
be better protection against fire and
more planting of trees in bare places
particularly on such land as is unfit
for the pillow. France is doing these
things.

A Deserving Judge Honored.

paid Judge John A. Roeser high and
merited compliment by indorsing him
for the position of federal judge,
which was unsolicited. He has made
good as district judge and would make
an equally able and just federal JUS

unanimous vote and there will be no
opposition for his third election. No
mistake would be made by Senators
Nelson and Kellogg in naming him for

NORTHWEST FAIRLY
BEGGING FOR COAL
Million Tons a Week Needed Between
Today and the Arrival Of
Winter.

Washington, Aug. 91-A winter OF
suffering that in prospect, can be
compared only with the experiences
OF Soviet Russia, stares In the faces
of 5000 600 people In six northwest
ern states as cold weather approaches
Coal bins are empty in Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa, North and South

This was the declaration yesterday

committee representing the COVER
nors of these states, who is in Wash

ports on the Great lakes In time to
be transported by water to the great
docks at the head of Lake Superior,
for distribution.

coal is not moved there in large quan
titles
III disaster is to be avoided" he
added, "a million tons of coal must
be dumped each week at lake ports
before the close of lake navigation
about December /,
The only hope for the Northwest
is for the Interstate commerce com
mission to force coal into lake ports
regardless OF everything but rail
roads and public utilities.
Last year, according to Coma. H.
613,114 tons OF bitumlnous coal and
1,94S,783 tons of anthracite was
shipped to Lake Superior ports for
distribution to the Northwest states.
Up to August q of this year 1913
954 tons of bituminous and about TO-,
600 tons of anthracite has been
shipped, and much OF this coal, Conn
declared has been diverted to uses
that If not for the arl strike, would
have been met by all rail coal from
! Illinois.
THE situation is desperate" said
Conn. There is no reserve what
ever. On August 29, 1921, there were
100000 tons of coal in the docks
at Duluth, Mimi and Superior. Wis.
Monday there were just $4,000 tons.
