FRIENDSHIP WITH CHINA.

The American people will agree with Sena-
tor Borah when he says that there is no rea-
son why the United States should be drawn
into any trouble with China. The friendship
between the two nations is traditional. Amer
lea wants China's world rights respected,
wants her territory respected, and hopes that
the time will soon come when China can exer-
else complete sovereignty under an enlighted
government, free from European and bolshe-
visit domination.
Senator Borah's expression was in the form
of a cabled reply to an inquiry by Americans
living in China. The message follows:
II see no reason why the United States
should be drawn into any controversy or con-
f1ict with Chinese authorities or the Chinese
people. Doubtless the situation, as you say,
is serious, but not serious by reason of any
acts or policies of the United States, and it is
not to be presumed that we will be drawn into
controversies of other powers.
"The United States has not evinced any i'm
perialistic designs in China, and | venture to
believe that the American people as a whole
would like to see the national rights and in
terests of China fully respected Personally
would favor the withdrawal Of extraterritor-
ial rights in China as speedily as practicable
and policy adopted by all which would re-
spect the territorial integrity and national
rights of great people.

COUNTING OUR BLESSINGS.

A philosopher has said: MAN can make a
garden out of desert and desert out of a
garden"
This means that the struggle to make a
garden out of desert brings out of men the
best there is in them. With the result
achieved, the serpent of discomfort enters the
garden, and what has been attained by so
much labor and sacrifice may be lost by lack
of appreciation of what has already been &C.
compished
1t is well that we should give thought to the
wrongs and abuses of the social and govern
mental order, but it is also essential that we
should give thought to the advantages and OPP
opportunities of our social and governmental
heritage.
Perfection in society and government is not
to be expected so long as the men and women
who go to make up national or social order
fall short of perfection If we will take good
look within ourselves we may be able to dis
cover reasons why we have not yet arrived at
the New Jerusalem.
When we survey history and look about the
world as it is today, we Americans will find
many reasons to be thankful that we live in
the age and in the land in which we have been
born. Things are not perfect, of course, but
they are so much better for the average man
here and now than they have ever been at any
time elsewhere, that we ought to count our
blessings, thank God and take courage.

stoned officers in our new citizen army,
/ by completing certain prescribed
courses. This action is left entirely
to their decisfonss as the training ex-
acts no obligations from them.
This, briefly, is a description of
what some people have been pleased
to criticise as new militarism of the
United States" 1t is true that the
citizen Army of the United States,
composed in the main of young men
who only train intensively from two
to six weeks during the summer
months, is the largest measure of mil
itary defense this nation has ever had.
Before the World War there was in
addition to our small, but efficient
Regular Army, only the forty-nine
separate and distinct national guards
of our several states, but they were
in such poor shape that they had to
be reorganized and trained for many
months before they could be used in
that conflict. To all intents and pur-
poses, the Organized Reserves, the
Citizens Military Training Camps and
Reserve Officers Training Corps are
new elements in our available mill
tary forces.
No further proof of the very demo-
cratic character of our new army is
needed to satisfy any fair-minded per-
son that it could not be readily used
for aggression. 1t would be many
months before our civilian soldiers
could stand the rigors of military
campaign.
A visit to any camp this summer
should convince any fair-minded per-
son that the young men in attendance
are most interested in keeping our
national peace and in obeying our
country's laws. They have no desire
to bring war nor break international
agreements. They believe in law and
order and they themselves are the
surety that law and order will be
maintained and honorable peace pre-
served.
BY way of contrast with our sum-
mer training activities, would like to
call attention to other lands then ours.
Our total military establishment is
only 1.6 per cent of the organized mil
itary forces of the world, and % per
cent of the organized military forces
to be found in Europe alone. The ac-
tive armies of Europe total 3,736,862,
while our Regular Army numbers less

SCIENTIFIC GOVERNMENT GUARAN-
TEES Liberty

The Honorable Martin w. Littleton, in a re-
cent address in New York City took no middle
ground in his arraignment of radicalsm, which
seeks to undermine the stability of our gov
eminent and the freedom of the American
people through political control and operation
of industry and business. He pointed out that
the name given to revolutionary leaders or
doctrines is immaterial, and said in part:
1T doesn't make any difference, my friends,
whoever these people were and are, whether
they be Socialists, Communists, Opportunists
or persons of expediency, the doctrine of revo-
luton inheres in and clngs to all civilization.
1t may be on one occasion the Socialist preach
ing his doctrine of solidarity of human activi-
ty into static society; it may be the Com
munist, wanting his ruthless dynasty of power
to go unchecked; it may be the sanguinary
Soviet in his true name, compounded of these
elements, if you please, who by profession is
Socialist, by practice a Communist, and by
occupation a gunman
Scientific government was created as an
agency to secure liberty for the man himself

Nischering We're one of the leading
families in Westphalia in the ninth

prominent role at the court of Louis
the Pious. son of Charles the Great.
The recorded pedigree or the family
begins with Frederick, the "dapifer'
or 'droste." who held that office in
the year I39 in the princely bishopriC
OF Munster. The ''droste," also termed
'truchsess" and "drotset," was the
right -hahd man of the king, charged
alternately with the civil and milf
tary administration of the kingdomis
affairs. The bishoprics later had their
own "droste" and this is the origin
of the counts name. In 1872 the
family received from the Emperor of
the Holy Roman Empire the Castle
Nischering, one of the oldest castles
in Westphalia.
From the family Vischering, which
is Roman Catholic, have come many

GANNETT HUSTLERS
PLAN FINE FAIR

Gannett Is determined to make th'
county fair bigger and better in
every way this year than ever be-
fore. Live wires in that hustling
community are already hard at work
to bring this about. Ross T. Rowe
is secretary treasurer again and all
communications may be sent to him.
Directors have nice little surplus
left over from last year; the county
commissioners have voted them a
one mill appropriation or about 5000
and this will enable them to award
much more substantial cash prizes in
the agricultural, domestic and art de-
partments than heretofore. 1t is
proposed to devote $500 or more to
this.
The first week in September, the
4th and 5th, two days, is the time
chosen for the fair, and because of
the tremendous crops in the county
1t is expected that the displays will
be larger and better and finer than
ever.
Another important Improvement
to be made this year is the election
of stalls and pens for the live stock.
This work is now under way and
much of the county appropriation is
to be used in this way.
The racing and rodeo programs
will be fully up to, If not in advance
of the best program in this line ever
staged at a county fair in Blaine.
Bills and programs will be out in a
few days. HALEY Miner.
