When China Celebrates

While there has been considerable
speculation regarding the exact time
when conditions throughout the coun-
try may be said to be noticably im-
proving. in Ely the date seems to
have been definitely fixed ar January
81. 1922.
The date given and the reason as
signed is that ii is Chinese New Year.
and, following the ancient and praise
worthy tradition of that race, some
regarded as white men and others
have announced their intnetion of
settling up on that day.
II is said that a prominent business
man in Ely has declared that upon
the honorable occasion he will have a
settlement with likewise prominent
attorney. and that there has peen a
wide difference between the two for
many months has become almost a
matter of common knowledge.
Ore was heard to remark: IF the
settlement Is ever consummated and

WILLIAM M'EW|NG DEAD
WAS PIONEER OF RUTH

William McEwing, one of the most
highly respected and universally be-
loved citizen of this district, died last
Friday night at the Ely Surgical hos
pital following an illness of about two
years and finally resulting in two op-
erations, the preparatory one being
performed November 81 and the final
Tuesday of this week
Mr.. MeEwing was born at Toronto,
Canada, July 23, 1854, and had he
lived until his next birthday would
have reached the age of 6S years.
He was married thirtv-flve years
ago at Leadville, Col. to Charlotte
Duffy and the bride of that happy
union is now the heartbroken widow
of the estimable man.
Of the issue three children were
born. two of whom now survive. They
are Mrs. Dan Edwards of Logan,
Utah, and Arthur McEwing of Ely.
The other son, Kenneth McEwing,
formerly of Ely, died at Reno last
June at the age of 80 years. Besides
his immediate family one sister, Mrs
Speck, now residing in North Dakota
is left to mourn the loss.
The deceased was an engineer by
profession and prior to coming to Ely
was engaged in that capacity by the
Western Mining Company at Lead
vile, Col, for period of eleven
years He came to this district fif-
teen years ago and engaged with the
Nevada Consolidated Copper Com
pany as engineer at the Veteran mine,
where he remained until the closing
of that property and was then trans
hxy tn
Ruth mine. where he remained until
his health so failed that he found il
necessary to go 20 California in the
hope that the lower altitude might
prove beneficial In this the desired
result not being accomplished lie re-
turned to Elv last August and has
death claimed him as its own and
called him to his greater reward after
long and well spent life.
Fraternally he was a member OF
the Yeomen. the Woodmen and the
Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks.
While the entire community
mourns and extends to the grief
stricken widow and family heartfelt
sympathy in the irredeemable loss
which they have sustained. the mem-
ory OF William McEwing will ever live
and his well-known disposition o;
charity toward all. with malice to-
ward none. will stand out as a monu-
ment, defying the touch of erosion
and decay until time shall oe nc

This is Real Disarmament.

Secretary DENLY, in compliance with the
economy program insisted upon by congress, is
cutting down the United States navy as rapidly
as possible. Immediately after the armament
conference, of his own volition, he ordered 100
destroyers out of commission. These were in
addition to 80 other ships which he had placed
out of commission at various times during the
first year of his administration, making a total
of 1872 war vessels placed on the inactive list In
addition to this, during the first year of the
Harding administration, the navy department
sold 257 obsolete or auxiliary naval craft-a
total of 449 naval craft of all kinds.
Since congress has announced its intention
of still further reducing naval appropriations
Secretary DENLY has ordered so additional de-
stroyers. so auxiliary naval craft five oil ships,
two store ships, four mine layers, six mine
sweepers, IA tugs and collier out of com
mission in order to conserve fuel and other
operating expenses. This leaves only 76 de-
stroyers in the United States navy IL active
commission, and of these 40 are being operated
with greatly reduced personnel.

The Ford Motor company increasing its
working force 20 per cent. has given the pref
erence to service men. This is said to have
been the result of an appeal made by the
American Legion, which is now campaigning for
the employment of veterans rather than
aliens whenever there is not enough work for
everybody. 1t is legitimate and praseworthy
effort and is already having an incidental
effect that may not have been reckoned on by
promoters of the idea. At Detroit and else
where the industrial discrimination against
aliens is resulting in a rush to the courts for
naturalization papers. It may seem hard, in
some cases, to apply this rule, but the whole
it is possibly Just and wise. 1t minimizes the
chance of alien residents remaining alien and
proiting by American opportunity without Civ
ing fair return in loyalty and service. 1t puts
a premium upon Americanism and helps, in a
proper and natural way, to repay the debt the
nation owes its defenders.

The German Mark.

Americans who invested in German marks
before and since the close of the war are be-
coming quite exercised about their investment
There is said to be $1,000. 100000 OF American
money invested in the German mark-at all
kinds of discounts. A year ago persons were
engaged in the disposal of German marks as a
business. Even in this part of the country a
great deal of business was done. The marks
were bought by people who believed that the
German people would, in short order, work out
their financial problems. They hoped to realize
on the investment Not all buyers invested be-
cause of sympathy for the German people. Most
of them hoped to make something out of the in
yestment Recently they have been wondering
what to do to save themselves, as the mark has
continually declined Today it is worth in ex-
change for the American dollar just about one
fourth of cent Before the war it worth
"a cents. And the matter of gathering the
81 1000 900 900 worth of marks. taking them to
Germany and investing in Germany property. is
being considered With marks at one-fourth of
a cent value the investors consider they could
buy lot of German real estate-as property is
still, they are led to believe, based upon
the dollar. But in this they are mistaken.
Property, especially real estate, is about all
there is of value in Germany. The money is
worth nothing to speak OF, and is likely to be
less than it is worth now. The best minds of
Germany disagree upon what policy to pursue.
AS showing what the mark will buy in Germany
and Americans must consider that before
they buy real estate-it might be mentioned
that before the war the miners, and they are the
highest paid labor in Germany, received %
gold marks weekly, or about 81. Now they re-
ceive $50 paper marks weekly estimated to be
worth 1915. So Americans will find that it will
take a great many marks to buy any German
real estate. The best policy for the investors
is to call their deal loss and hold on with the
hope that the mark may recover some day.

quents or semi-delinquents from entering upon

posed pogram are good as far as they CO. How
ever, the people of Illinois should not overlook
the fact that this state is believed by competent
judges of its criminal courts to have crime
problem of its own, by reason of it's failure to
modernize its criminal code and remedy various
defects that have served to shield men indicted
for and even convicted of felonies from the
punishment they deserved. Some Illinois
Judges affirm that the state criminal code is a
grim joke and byword in most progressive
states. Technicalities, strained definitions.
subtle distinctions, omissions and antiquities
have severally contributed to the grave situa-
ton that has at last challenged public atten-
uon throughout the state. 1t is we'll to study
crime nationally, but it is even more import
ant Tor Illinois judges, lawyers and thoughtful
citizens generally to study the causes of fail
ures and miscarriages of justice at home. If
revision or the states criminal code is impera-
tive the projected hearings should have material
help in bringing about that reform.

Ambitious Memories.

The observation car of the railway train is
placed in the rear as if men desired to look
backward. When things recede from US we
have our most narrowing grief. When we look
backward see life from the opposite side
from which we once viewed it with high hope
and earnest expectations. The dreams of youth
are forward looking. The right psychology
would place the observation car ahead of the
engine Our pleasures of anticipation have few
limitations. The reflective pleasures Of looking
backward are not unmixed with pain and dis
appointment The last wish of an ambitious
mind is the ripened fruit of the little tree his
early ambitions planted. Most young people
have healthy desire to accomplish something
worth while and attain place of remembrance
curious case Of ambition came to light in
an eastern county farm last month An inmate
an aged man, died. 1t was discovered that he
had provided himself with grave and a 81, 900
monument when he was a young man. There is
a strong instinct in every man that makes him
desire to be remembered. Properly understood
this instinct should be linked with the desire
to attain greatness of character and perform
some worth while service in the world The
enjoyment of life from the observation car of
memory is qualified by the outlook on life
created by the day dreams of youth. It is diff
cult at times for youth to realize that he is
making the eyes by which he viii see life when
he looks backward. 1t is still more difscult to
impress youth with the realization that what
humanity will eventually remember about him
is that element OF his personality. life. that
weaves ifself tutD the total life of thu race m
