FOREST FIRES

In Portland, Ore, RACES a FIRE that is
destroying property by the millions. 1t
is one of our latest forest fires, and is
doing the usual amount Of damage. 1t
will take days and weeks, perhaps months
before the fire will be under control, and
then the charred ruins will be another
monument of "Carelessness.'
What a great howl goes up from the
populace ever year about pulp waste,
denunciation Of the commercialist who
destroys wanionly our forests. But for
some reason the public takes fores, fires
for granted as though each forest FIRE
starts from spontaneous combustion.
More forest products are lost every
year through fires than the products the
nation consumes.
Much is being done at present to pre-
vent fires, but even more intensive re-
search as to the origin Of forest fires
should be done. II travellers cannot be
trusted to 60 through forests, they should
no, be allowed to camp in them. II our
fire detector stations are inadequate.
more should be built. II the public is
altogether too careless, there is then.
room for more education concerning fire
prevention in forest districts.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
Long and Reed.
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
Boone County, one of the champion
-sfrongholds of Missouri Democracy, is
beginning to get little warm under the
collar over the race for the senatorial
nomination between Senator Reed and
Breckinridge Long.
On the surface there apparently is
little interest in the primary contest.
But TO stop and listen is to get an ear
full of predictions both for and against
the senior senator. Mr.. Long already
has visited Boone County, having spok-
en- here several days ago. Senator Reed
is due to come into the county later.
From indications and statements by
persons long active in Boone County
politics, Reed probably has more oppo-
sition here than in bordering Democratic
counties. Predictions are made freely
that the senator will be found trailing
Long badly when the primary ballots are
counted. Even Reeds most ardent sup
porters in Columbia do not contend. at
this time, at least, that he has more
than an even chance to carry the county
Invariably they add, however. that
Reed is gaining daily, and that after a
speech or two the outlook will be bright
er in the senator's Boone County ranks.
Democrats opposing Reed are resent
full of his attitude toward ex-President
Wilson and what they declare is his
failure to support the administration.
Also, blame is laid at the senator's door
for the defeat of the party in the state
in 1920. He took away with him both
the Irish and German vote" said one
man discussing that election.

TELEPHONE NUMBERS:
A UNITED CHINA

With the registration Of Hsu Shih'
Chang. President Of the Chinese Repub'
lie. and the reassembling at Tientsin. a
city in North China, Of the First Chinese
Parliament. the session of which was cut
sbort because of monarchical movement
in 1915. a united China becomes not only
probable, but a certainty.
For five years China has been divided.
For FIVE years two governments, each
claiming the other TO be illegal, have
stood against elch other, sometimes at
war. sometimes at comparative peacA.l
For five years an ancient country, having
suddenly evolved into a new republic, has
tasted the bitterness Of civil warfare and
internal trouble. Politicians, militarists.
schemers, pretenders, have succeeded in
holding the nation apart, against the
united will of the people And now the
two halves, the North and The South, will
again emerge a single body, ever strong
er. and more unified.
The basic contention is now gone. Ii
Yung-Hung. a former president Of China,
and a man acceptable to both the North
and the South, has temporarily been re-
stored to presidency. The New Parlia-
ment," the illegality of which the South
has ever protested. has been dissolved.
The new united China is based not on the
spirit of domination Of one party over
another, but on the spirit Of compromise
and mutual federation.
Unity begets strength No nation can
stand on her feet amidst civil strife and
incessant internal conflict. The Repub-
lie Of China has had enough warfare and
conflict, during the twelve years Of her
stormy life. The time has now come for
China, both the North and the South,
TO bury the hatchet," to set aside diff
fercnces and Misunderstanding, to dis
perse the cloud Of selfish interest and
hatred. and TO form a central, united
government which is truly representative
Of the nation.
