I've trudged and toiled for beautys sake,
I've elm, e. the mountains, piled the oar
Swung the 5ells till I'm stiff and sore.
Swimming, diving, tennis, 'goff'--
Nothing takes the plumpness off
Miss Freckies
Plenty Of cream and plenty of milk
Makes complexion soft as silk;
Spread it thickly ere you sleep,

u DE by side in q newspaper

~ UE by side In q newspaper
- appear two items.
One announces q new meth
cd of submarine cable construc
ton by which messages can be
sent across the ocean six times
faster than heretofore.
The other tells of sorcerer in
country district in France who
declared that a certain farmer
was causing stock to die and
crops to wither, thereby inducing
the farmers relatives to kill him.
To most people the first an
nouncement will appear as step
forward in civilization. And all
will agree that the second item
chronicles an incident which be-
longs to the Middle Ages.
1t is the common belief that
ease and rapidity of communica-
ton pave the way for civiliza~
ton g advance. Far be it from US
to deny so widely accepted be
lief. We merely suggest some
puzzling food for thought:
Lies, calumnies, deceitful prop
uganda, prejudices and ignorant
convictions travel just as fast by
mail, by telephone, by telegraph
and by cable as does the truth.
A doctor may be able to save a
patients life by wireless. a
Kaiser has modified his army
and plunged the world into dis
tress by means of the telegraph.
The story of the French sor-
cerer was flashed across the ocean
quickly. The wisdom of Greece
and of Rome, the moral teachings
of the philosophers Of Egypt, OF
Assyria and of India have not
reached us yet. even after two
thousand years. Somewhere along
the line, perhaps, messenger
boy is asleep.

Facing the People.

=
- publican leaders are making
~ up their minds as the Con-
gressional election approaches to
keep their pledge and pass the
Soldiers Bonus Bill.
These Republican members Of
Congress, remembering their
pledge and the justice of the
bonus itself, feel less and less like
facing their constituents back
home with their pledge dishonored
and Justice to the soldier denied.
Secretary of the Treasury Mel
lon, a millionaire banker from
Pittsburgh, still remains obdurate.
He continues to oppose the bonus
bill, because, as he says, the f.
nancial condition of the country
will not warrant it. He is espe-
tally sensitive about attempting
to make the foreign nations owing
us money pay the cost of this
bonus out of the debts they owe
us.
Mr.. Mellon, however, was not
lected to his office. He does not
have to face q constituency Of the
American people next fall.
Now, the bankers, particularly
the international bankers, don't
want us to trouble England and
France concerning the billions Of
debt they owe. us.
Mr.. Mellon is in the National
Government to represent his pc
uliar constituency. He dnes not
have to worry about the an
oroacl,inr election, Therefore, he
lis a dangerous mrn for the Re-
publican party to accept as a
guide.

'djusted compensation, called a

Versus White
CHARP as is the surface 'fric-
~ ton between Chinese and

events foresee its submergence
in a union Of the yellow races
against the white, such as Japan
csc propaganda is already sug-
costing in China.
The pitiful results Of white
diplomacy upon China, newly en-
phasized by the Arms Conference,
are likely to give this latent ten
dency profound impulse. ...
By bitter experience China has
learned to expect nothing from
British policy. Stripped of hypo-
critical phrases, that policy is one
of calm exploitation, as relentless
if not as "raw" now as when
Britain maintained it's profitable
opium trade in China at the bay
onet point.
From the United States more
had been hoped for by liberal
Chinese. We Americans have
won their. esteem by our failure
thus far to infringe on Chinese
rights, by occasional acts OF GEL
crosby and by much official pro-
testation of good will.
1t is now, however, apparent
that mere good will by the United
States is not enough to drive the
wolves out of China.
Since the limit of our helpful
ness is simply repetitive express
sions of desire for fair play,
without provision for its enforce
ment, young China begins to see
that enforcement is a job it must
organize itself.
AS at Versailles, young China
will carry home from Washington
knowledge that its protectioe
must be home made. 1t is facing
the profound truth that Provi-
dence helps those who help them
selves.
That these capable people,
emerging from the inertia of their
traditional pacifism,' will see the
necessity and de- OPP the means
of meeting it, who can doubt
The continuous triumphs Of
Japan on battlefields and in dip
lomatic councils as a result Of
centralized power guided by d
highly developed will for con-
quest present too near and vivid
an example not to react upon
China's awakened consciousness.
So the white races face the GER
tainty that the China of the
future will not be the football OF
the past.
But Japan, too, must be reck-
oned with in this connection.
The staggering, bullying pol
icy by which Japan began its
career of expansion on the main
land of Asia may have been due
to inexperience. We must assume
the existence of enough intelli'
gence in this extraordinarily eff
cient island empire to perceive and
correct such folly in tactics.
The white races would be most
unwise to base their plan of de-
tense upon continued stupidity
of the yellow.
