AT THE SEAT OF WAR
New Britain Man On Firing Line As Methodist Missionary Where Bullets Fly ThicScst in China.

A New Britain man is located di- rectly in the scat of war in China and so close to the battle grounds that at times he says bullets have rained about his house. Rev. George B. Neumann, son of F. F. Neumann of New Britain, who is a Methodist mis- sionary to China writes as follows:
 Regarding the fighting in China, tho actual facts are about as bad as the reports, but up to date we have great reason for thanksgiving. Sey- eral times we have had bullets raining around the house, so that we knew not when serious damage might be done, but no harm has come to us yet. The armies which are for forcible union with tho north arc now on their way to Cbengtu again The leader, Yang Sen, bas great reputation as a fighter. He has started up here sev- eral times and been driven back, but it may be that he can and will make 1t this time. His opponent is n crafty and cunning general Of very great and successful experience, starting life as a bandit: and victory will not be easy if it is secured. Presumably fighting will occur around here again within a couple of weeks, but it does not trouble us any more than any other event that is scheduled to come off at that time. None Of the Chinese want any more complications with foreign powers than already exist"
 Rev. Mir. Neumann is teaching so- cioogy and economics at West China Union university, and expects to re- turn this summer for year of ad- Nanced study and research in the United States. He has been in China since 1908, with the exception of one previous visit to this country which he spent in graduate work at Columbia nniNersitv

LaFollette should be elected presi-
dent is that he actively fought the
League of Nations. Not in his COM
munication, but in conversation with
the editor, the president of the Rem
ton County LaFollette clubs, says
one of the big black marks he has
against the republican party is its
failure to put America into the
League of Nations. So, he is voting
for LaFollette, one of the men who
kept America out.
And now we know why LaFollettc
should be elected president. One man
is voting for LaFollette because he
kept us out of the league and the 9TH
er is voting for LaFollette because
the republicans failed to put us into
the league.
These two communications are in
answer to a reader who last week
wrote to ask what has LaFollette
done that we should elect him pres
ilent. Mr.. GARNER cites q legisla-
tive measures, proposed and enacted,
that LaFollette has favored. He fails
to tell us however, how many of
these measures LaFollette originated
and how many of those that have been
enacted was LaFollette really respon-
sible for putting through congress.
There are lot of other fellows back
in congress who have favored and
voted for these measures but they
are not running for president because
they did so.
Tom Marshall, former vice presi-
dent, says that if elected all LaFol-
lette could do would be to work his
fingers and ruffle his hair. And that
is the most he has been doing since
he has been in congress. Everybody
knows he has talked lot but the
writer of last weeks communication
asked what LaFollettte has done to
entitle him to be president. The
answer is the same as last week =
Nothing!

HARTLEY VS.. HILL


THE Walla Walla Union, published
i over in Mayor Ben Hills home
town, has this to say of the COVER
norship race:
With all due respect to our genial,
gentlemanly friend and neighbor, Ben
Hill, we have no hesitancy in de-
claring that Roland H. Hartley is
the ideal candidate for governor. Vo-
tiers, consider that you were attend
ing stock holders meeting of big
business firm, to choose a man to
run its affairs. Before you appeared
two applicants for the job, Mr.. Hart
ley and Mr.. Hill. (This man Oman is
not to be seriously considerably Which
man would you choose? If every
voter, taking this view of the matter,
casts his ballot conscientiously there
can be little doubt of the outcome.
The qualifications of Mr.. Hartley
are ~ well known to need repetition.
But it is Of Importance that the vot-
ers be reminded of the bigness of the
job of running the business affairs
Of the state, and that each stock
holder" is vitality concerned in the
selection of the right man for the
job. If the voters keep this in mind
we can confidently await the count
Of the ballots.

CENATOR LaFOLLETTE has wash
~ ed his hands Of the republican
party for it is too rotten and too
corrupt for him longer to be a part
of it. Senator Wheeler has washed
his hands of the democratic party
for it is too rotten and too corrupt
for him longer to be a part of it.
They have cut loose from the old par
ties, left corruption behind them, have
organized a party of their own. But
for some reason when they left, they
forgot to leave the robes Of office
which belong to the old parties or to
take their names off the payroll. La
Toilette is still republican senator
and Wheeler a democratic senator.
Really they could fight much more
efficiently if they were not hampered
by having their noses in the public
feed bag. They remind us of some
fellows who have played on the Ken
newick baseball team and forgot to
turn in their uniforms before they
left.

In the 6Sth congress LaFollette
introduced -15 bills and resolutions
IL of which were private bills, two
related to freight rates, one to Phil
ipine independence and the other pro-
vided for permanent discharge books
for seamen.
The new republican tariff has,
state growers figure, added 10 cents
a pound to the price of wool, but La
Toilette avoided the vote for protec-
ton to Washington-grown wool. he
voted against protection to WASH
ington dairy products; he lodged the
vote to protect Washington hides;
he did not help the new sugar Deet
industry of this state and he side
stepped all of the sixteen different
votes which authorized the president
and tariff commission to alter tariff
schedules to meet changed conditions.
No farmer nor no representative
of any legitimate farm organization
was invited to or attended the Con
vention" that nominated LaFollette.
No farmer is member of his social
list controlled campaign committee.
LaFollette's opposition to Wash
ington state industries was not con-
fined to farm products which Wiscon-
sin could not raise but also extended
to shingles, fish and other products.
Every resident Of the counties along
the Canadian border has received OPP
teal evidence of where the Washing
ton single manufacturing industry
has gone for solid train loads of Can
adian shingles, made by oriental Ia
Dor and cut from cheap stumpage,
have been sent east to enter duty free
into markets of this country.
Farmers of this state naturally lose
a big market for their products when
the single industry is crippled and
its thousands Of buyers are out Of
work.

LaFOLLETTE DoDGES RECLAMA-
TON

THROUGH all the years he has
L been in congress, Robert LaFol.
lette, the Socialist Third party can
didate for president, never spoke q
word for the reclamation of the arid
lands of the west. For that matter
he has lodged the question every
time it has been brought up.
A search has just been made of the
files of the congressional record to
ascertain LaFollette's position on rec
lamation. And he has no record.
Some of LaFollette's Socialist
Third party associates in congress
have led the fights against reclama-
ton, while there is not single out
standing advocate of the improve
ment of arid lands among all of them.
The record Of LaFollette is in sharp
contrast with that Of President Cool
idge who not only has urged Con-
gress to revise the reclamation laws
so as to ease the burden Of those
farmers who are already located on
irrigated lands but also has encour-
aged an expansion of reclamation
activities in the west. The president
is definitely and positively on record
in favor of continued reclamation,
taking the position that new land
cannot be brought under cultivation
faster than the growing population
will need it.

HERE'S ANOTHER

Here's one that Lee 0rth failed to
get into the LaFollette song book:
When capitalism's been shattered
And smashed to the very last root.
When all of the banks have been
plundered,
And everyone's shared in the loot,
We shall pause-though a trifle be-
lated
And say, with sad, hungry sob:
"We've done with the old rotten sys-
Now 1 wonder who'll give us a iob?"
And those who held jobs shall be
bosses,
They shall sit in the masters chair,
Although they'll have nothing for
breakfast
And nothing whatever to wear:
They will wander at will through
the mansions
Where capitalists thronged in the hall
They will ring to have dinner at
seven,
But no one will answer their call.
And only the people will suffer,
And only the people will weep.
And no one shall work for money,
And no one shall sow or reap;
But each in his corner shall shiver
And think how much better they
fare
With the system of all-having-nothing
Than of some-having-more-tha their
share
