PRESSURE FOR POST
PREVENTS CHOICE.
Delay in Naming Minister to
China Ascribed to Compe-
| tition of Aspirants.

There is manifest concern in official
quarters over circumstances which
are causing a delay in the appoint
ment of a Minister to Peking to re-
lieve DR.. Jacob Gould Schurman, de-
sCribed as chiefly in the nature of po-
litical pressure by friends of various
aspirants for the post. Urgent du-
ties are awaiting the attention of DR..
Schurman in his new post of Ambas-
sador to Germany, but the unstable
situation in China is causing an evil
dent reluctance to leave the Peking
legation even temporarily without the
service of qualified minister.
other Appointments Blocked.
The matter of filling the vacancies
in the legations in Rumania and AL
bania also is held up in the cross
tides of pressure behind rival claim
ants for the posts.
The situation with respect to the
Peking post, however, is surrounded
by developments which have empha-
sized even more strongly of late the
necessity of maintaining the most in
innate touch with affairs in order
adequately to protect Americans and
their properties against the possibil-
1ty of recurrent political disorders.
Critical Period in PekinE.
While the de facto government in
Peking appears to have as much
nominal control as any recent Chinese
central government has possessed,
new uncertainties with respect to the
alignment of military factions have
resulted from the recent death of DR..
Sun Yat Sen, the South China leader.
Where his followers may align them
selves, and what effect this may have
on the portentious political situation
in China, still remains an open GueS-
tion.
Many close students of the intri-
cacies of the Chinese political tangle
believe that a large group of DIR.
Suns followers will ally themselves
with what they see to be a rapidly
spreading radical sentiment with the
political awakening of millions in
that country. Evidences of a rapid
infiltration of bolshevist doctrine are
regarded, in fact, as one of the most
unstable elements in the situation.

G1T Is really no hot weather pastime to
| ! study the income tax propaganda now
being spread over the countryside propa-
ganda which is giving Senator Borah so much
concern. But there is one suggestion put for
ward by Secretary Mellon, Senator Underwood
and other advocates of deep cut in the sur
tax rates that may give you as much fun as
crossword puzzle. Briefly it is this: If the
surfaces are reduced, the very rich will quit
lodging their taxes and SO will pay more. In
other words the way to get more from the
rich is to ask them for less.
Now that is little hard to believe.
It may be that the Government does not
need all the revenue obtainable under the pres
ent surtaxes. If so, that fact may furnish
good reason for reducing the taxes on the
rich. Certainly there is no sound sense in col
lecting taxes that aren't needed. If the prob
lem is as simple as that, most of us would be
inclined to say it is time to reduce surfaces.
Senator Couzens and some others would
frsc eliminate all income tax in the case of
people whose incomes are not more than
$5,0 900 a year. The merit in that ideN is doubt
full On incomes of $4,000 the Treasury finds
the average income tax payment under the
present schedules is only $3.50 year and that
doesn't seem any too large contribution to
the national expenses on the part Of anybody
making $4,000. Perhaps Congress will view
the matter differently. Congress may figure
that the greatest good to the greatest number
lies in once more reducing the taxes of the
little fellows instead of the big fellows.
ways. That is the way the mind of Congress
worked last session, when it took the Mellon
plan and altered it SO that it benefited the little
ones lot and the big ones only little
On the other hand, Congress may decide
that Mellon is right this time. It may agree
that the tax on the little fellows can't be re-

~ AN FRANCISCO, June 49,
Three things-the high cost
- of living, frightful labor con-
ditions and foreign aggression-are
behind the chaotic conditions and
the rioting in China, according to
Ng Poon Chew, editor of Chung Sal
Vat Pc, the most influential Chinese
American newspaper on the Pacific
Coast.
"Since the war the cost Of living
has gone up twice as fast as wages, !"
said DIR. Chew. Living is now 100
per cent higher than before 1914.

WATER FROM
THE JORDAN Z

fT7l HE REV. j. K. BARDEL-
MEIER Of Greensburg,
o Ind, used water from the
River Jordan In christening three
babies yesterday. The water was
brought from Palestine by a Hoo
sier lady who had toured the Holy
Land.
Piety and sentiment may endow
the waters of the Jordan with spe-
cial virtues.
But water is constantly moving
over the earth. Rivers, winds,
evaporation and condensation are
always at work conmingling the
waters from different sources and
redistrictting them.
The waters that Tapped the
shores of Galilee and flowed in
the Jordan in Jesus day have
long since been dispersed north,
east, south and west. The fluid
pious pilgrims now bring back
from the Holy Land in jugs may
have been the property Of the In
dianapolis Water Company a few
years ago.
Likewise, there may now be in
Pleasant Run some Of the very
water Noah used. That seems
plausible for the liquid in Pleas
ant Run looks and smells old, very
old. One is easily convinced it is
the water on which Noah launched
the ark-and that it hasn't taken
a bath since.
1t wasn't that water that made
the River Jordan important to the
world, it was what took place
along it's banks. Water from the
river perhaps added glamour to-
the christening ceremony. But
christening with water from
Pogue's Run or the kitchen tap
would have been just as effective.
