the United States is pictured as stony hearted
and seeking pound of somebody's flesh.
The United States was not stony hearted IN
dealing with Great Britain on the funding OF
her debt In fact, the terms were made so lDer-
al that the debt funding commission was accus-
ed of making a gift of many hundreds OF MIL
lions to England and there was talk of OPPOSE
ton to the approval of the agreement. Inc
United States stands ready to make equally lib
eral terms with the other creditors. 1t has not
urged one of them to pay at once or soon. IL mas
not insisted upon the payment OF interest as IL
falls due. All that the United States has done
in the matter of the debts is to appoint COM
mission with authority to agree upon plans for
funding the debts. This was very mild in
timation to the debtor nations that although
the United States did not ask for an immediate
payment, it did expect the debtors to agree
upon an amount, time and a manner OF pay
ment.
That was no unreasonable proceeding. While
European nations are deferring even consld-
Grafton of terms of payment, the people OF the
United States are raising the money by taxa
ton to pay the interest on the bonds which
were issued to get the money to loan to Euro
pean nations. The people of the United States
are paying about a billion dollars a year in
interest, and nearly half of that is on account
OF money loaned TO EUROPE Is IL SCOIly IlCdI C0u
to expect European nations to pay the inter
est at least?
It is not likely that either Mr.. Vile or the
Democratic leaders express the real sentl-
ments of Europeans with regard to the United
States. In fact there is good evidence that
they do not. Not long ago Premier Macdonald
of Great Britain said:
Europe for the last few years has not Of
fered America very attractive companionship.
Yet we have never asked America to do an
important thing but what she has always &C
copied to do it.
The United States sent millions of dollars
worth of food and clothing to the starving in
Europe; it had already done it's full share in
the war; it offered the only practical solution,
the Dawes plan, for the separations difficulty;
it suggested the plan for limitation of arma-
ments which has lifted great burden from
European nations. The United States has not
been stony heartfelt has merited respect
and gratitude, and it is not true that Europe
views us with indignation bordering upon con-
tempt.

PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE.

Electricity follows the path of least resist
ance. So does falling water, rushing back to its
source, the sea-
So does the agile mercury from broken
thermometer, obeying gravity by darling down
to the lowest level it can reach.
Man, too, obeys this natural law-follows
the path of least resistance
In other words, man inclines to the easiest
way
While it is natural for man to follow the
easiest way, his progress comes by taking the
more difficult roads or paths. Progress is not
unnatural. But nature makes us pay the price.
We never get anywhere by following the
easiest way
1t is easier to sleep on the ground, exposed
to the weather. But man, beginning with his
first crude huts, on to the luxurious skyscrap-
er apartment house of the modern city, has
taken the more difficult way-knowing that
efforts reward is worth it's price. The COM
Portable home is well worth the energy expend-
ed in getting it and in maintaining it.
Work is not the pleasantest thing in the
world, despite the Big Talk of the platitudes-
most of which are written by lazy dawdlers.
The philosopher who urges mankind to toll is
rarely energetic himself But that does not
lessen the truth and wisdom of his teachings.
Work is not the most enjoyable way of put
ting in our time 1t certainly is not the easiest
way-the path of least resistance. Yet we
all know that work is what moves us ahead
brings us our necessities and comforts.
Men are resigned to their lot and are not
following the line of least resstance-when
they work at their daily tasks.
But when work is over and man relaxes, he
slips into the easiest way.
Particularly in his reading matter. He drifts
through the entertaining, recreational news
Scandals crime, the unusual. These are the
easiest way-requiring no brain effort. Too
bad, that political news and speeches require
thought and accordingly, get little of the at
tention they deserve Yet if people every four
years gave bit more thought to national
politics. it might lead to easier ways in their
job of making living
it's mistake to kid national politics. Adj
mittedly dry subject, it is really prizefght
in which prices and living conditions are to
large extent determined for the coming four
years.

Fables On Health
SOME KITCHEN HINTS.

Keeping the pantry and kitchen In
sanitary condition was another prob
lem Mollie Mann took upon herself
when the hygiene course was started
at her school.
The Mann kitchen was bit old-fash-
toned without the tiled floors and such
as go into many more up-to-date places.
Food chambers should be closely
watched They should frequently be
washed with and scrubbed with hot
soapsuds. Use a brush. A few drops
of ammonia in the water will help.
Dry with cloth and let the sun bake
upon it.
Clean the ice box thoroughly and
frequently. Do this when the ice is
low. Hot, soapy water should be used
on the ice racks. The ice chamber
should be particularly well scrubbed.
The waste pipe should be removed and
boiling water poured through it.
The pantry should be most careful
ly watched to see that no, fruits or
vegetables are rotting and that no
foods are giving forth bad odors.
Keep the shelves carefully washed
and disinfected, for it is from here
that the food for the table comes and
no chance of contamination should
be taken.

and threatens to descend upon Pekin
from the north. If General WI goes
down into Kiangsu to join forces with
General Chi, he will be forcibly re-
minded that his own back door has
been left without adequate protection.
Probably General Feng, the "Christen
General" who prohibited drinking and
gambling and who encourages his
soldiers TO become Christians, will be
left to defend the Province of Chilli
and its capitol Picking.
The other factor making common
cause with General Lu Young Hsiang
against General Chi, and therefore
against General WI, is the mysterious,
fascinating leader of the southern
forces, Sun Vat Sen. 1t is not far
from exact truth to say that Sun Vat
Sen has wonderful grasp upon the
imagination of the leaders of the new
forces in China. While he has been
charged with duplicity and with dis
loyalty, and while he is unquestion-
ably headstrong, self-centered lead
er, who does not know how to work
with others, he still is one of the
greatest factors in the Orient today.
1t was my privilege to have a long
interview with Sun Vat Sen, when he
was gin hiding" in the French Con-
cession of Shanghai in 1922.
"Tell the American people to keep
their hands off China" DR.. Sun said
to me very bluntly, although with
personal courtesy.
~ GU mean to call home our mission
aries and to close our schools and hos
pitfalls % l asked
He smiled at me indulgently and re-
piled: "You know perfectly we'll that
was not what l meant at all. mean,
Keep your hands off the political ac-
tivities of China"
"Has America attempted to mingle
in the intrigue to overthrow Chinese
independency l asked. "What about
our policy of open door,"
DR.. Sun Vat Sen answered me
quickly and with bitterness: 'Your
missionary operations are benefcent
and appreciated. You have announced
the beautiful policy of en- open door,
Meanwhile, you stand by with your
hands in your pockets while the other
nations plumber us. They insult our
intelligence. They humble our pride
of race. They collect heavy tolls from
us and then prevent us from collect

ing customs as we please. In short, the
so-called Christian West has set out to
plumber us and America stands by and
does nothing"
DR.. Sens statements are not fully
justified, although no observing stu
dent of China's situation would deny
that Chinese irritation over the GUS
toms and banking domination by the
West is dynamite, even INT. There
is no telling when a titanic explosion
will take place. That explosion will
not set China free, but it will injule
her beyond measure, and will do un-
told damage to the future welfare OF
America, which has more at stake in
China than any other western nation.
1t should be pointed out also that DR..
Sun Vat Sen, while posing as great
patriot, was unquestionably being
financed from Japanese sources.
So the whirlpool has been rotating
with great force around the greatest
city of the Orient, Shangai, where
West meets East.
General Lu, eager to hold his rich
prize, Shangai, with all that its proxi-
nifty to Hangchow, the capitol of Che
hlang, gives MIN Oh power ana wealth.!
General Chi, DESTROYS of getting hold
of Shangai and of making the political
boundaries of Kiangsi equal to its geo.
graphical area! Behind Tsao Kun with
their great stake, the potential domi-
nation of the Republic. Still further
off and yet just as near, the doughty
war lord Chang Tso Lin of Manchuria;
and at the other end of the area, the
inscrutable Sun Vat Sen, throwing his
lot in with General Lu and General
Chang. AT the center of all these
whirling forces, japan!

PROPAGANDA BARRAGE FOR CANCEL.
LATION STARTS

Not many Americans will agree to the rea-
sonableness of the language used by Fred
erick William Vile, syndicate writer, when
he said that Until our stony heart mets
on the score of the debt all of our protesta-
lions of helpfulness will leave Europe cold.'
Neither will many Americans think there is
justification for the further remark that GAS
long as the United States maintains it's right
to its pound of flesh just so long will Europe
view us with Indignation dangerously border
ing on contempt"
The United States has no stony heart; it
seeks no pound of fesh it is not regarded
with contempt.
The Vile language is quite in harmony with
the prevailing Democratic idea of the attitude
Of the United States under the Republican
administration. Because the United States
would not go into the League of Nations and
surrender it's rights to determine for itself
what it's course shall be upon international
problems; because the United States will not
send an official representative to every confer
ence discussing European differences; because
the United States will not wipe out the debts
due this country and call upon our own peo-
pie to pay the $4,000 100000 due, because
OF these policies established by Republicans,

OLD-TIMES

Old documents, come to light in New
Hampshire, show that Judge Jonathon
Lawrence 70 years ago paid these pri-
ces when he traded at the general
store:
Butter, 20 cents pound; eggs, IL
cents dozen; apples, 10 cents a peck;
flour, $525 barrel; gloves, % cents a
pair; flannel, 80 cents yard; sheet
ing, II cents yard.
Some of these prices are not as
low as you'd expect Prices reach
about the same high peaks every 80
years. Wheat sold for $3.50 a bushel
at times after the Napoleonic and Am
erican Civil wars.

Americans are smoking 60 cigarets
for every SO used year ago. One re-
suit will show up years hence-increas-
ed lung trouble, bronchitis and tuber-
culosis, also throat ailments. The Gig
aret is too easy to inhale. A safer
smoke is the cigar-to inhale which re
quires leather lungs.
For this reason, it's pity women
turning to tobacco-don't smoke Gig
ars instead of Tags. A confirmed Gig
aret smokers lungs, .dissected, are
found saturated with tiny bits of car
bon from inhaled smoke. This is health
advice, not preaching.

A few Kentuckians are being ar

slender and malicious gossip.
If this were a natural law and strict
ly enforced, nearly all of us would be
in Jail within "a hours.
Of the many forms of cowardice, the
foremost is saying behind persons
back what one wouldn't dare say to his
face. Be a decent fellow, is good
slogan. Spike slanderous rumor. If it
reaches you, let it go no farther.

BEHIND.

There's only one auto for every &c.
500 people in China. The cause is
cheap human labor-so cheap that ma
chinery cannot compete with it as yet.
At that, though, China is only about
20 wears behind America in the matter
of autos She is the greatest unde-
veloped trade market in the world.
You'll probably live to see the time
when more American goods will be
sold in China than all Europe combin-
ed. An advantage is that the Chinese
pay for what they get.
