CHINESE DOUGHBOYS
DON'T MIND RAIN;
USE NICE UMBRELLAS

Hankow, China-"The Chinese, in
some respects, are the most advan-
ced people in the world today" said
Will Storms, adjutant of Hankow
Post of The American Legion. "Why
the military authorities even pro-
vide umbrellas for their troops when
i it is necessary to stage battle
during inclement weather"
"But," continued Storms, "grant-
ing that the Chinese have made
pikers of the United States @. M.
Corps in equipping troops, life here
isn't all skittles and beer for either
the native battlers or the timer
ants.
an the first place, Chinese belli-
gents, with their constant fighting
of the past two years, refuse to let
us forget that the war is over. We
former service men in China are
STILL in way, in active service in
American Volunteer Companies, in
readiness to defend the Foreign
Settlements in case of war and loot
ing. Unfortunately, these volunteers
have been mobilized time after time.
Shanghai Post has been out for
weeks during the recent fighting
around Shanghai. Legionnaires of
Shanghai could tell tales that
would thrill. We hold weekly drills,
and practice notifications to be
ready in case of emergency.
american Legionnaires have dis
covered undesirable conditions here
that may be improved through the
agency of the Legion; conditions
that people at home have no ac-
curate knowledge of. Among the
things the Legion is interested in
are: Need for American owned con-
sular property; illegal taxation by
Chinese officials; extra territorial
ity and American income tax.

for better understanding of con-

home A great deal of public opin-
ion is formed by reading articles by
persons who have spent only a
few months in China, who, perhaps
innocently, give untruthful impress
sions. The Legion here is doing its
best to correct such erroneous i'm
pressions.
"That we may better serve our
country, the Legion. and the country
of our residence, we plan to band
ourselves into The American Le-
gion, Department of China. There
are five posts of the Legion in
China, including posts at Shanghai,
Picking, Tientsin, Canton and Han
kow.
american Legionnaires like this
fascinating, fantastic ever-changing
Chinaland; that's why they are do
ing their bit to make it a better
place to live in"

A COMPLIMENT FROM
NEW YORK


While doing this "horn footing"
| can't refrain from quoting ex-
cerpts from letter written by
Paul Davis, publicity man for the
Plymouth Theatre in New York
City. Recently he was sent clip
ping of an editorial on "What
Price Glory" which is playing to
packed houses at the Plymouth.
Mr.. Davis says, "Your editorial
on "What Price Glory" was a
"Jack Johnson"--a direct hit!"
He continued by welcoming the
writer to his theatre. It's nice of
you, Mr.. Davis, to compliment a
chick from the Provinces" and to
take such an awful chance on in
viting him to your theatre! How
do you know but that | might take
advantage of your invitation? Would
you be embarrassed if l dropped
in with straw behind my ears and
with muddy shoes to track up your
immaculate office?
In the meantime, l want to
again urge my readers to see "What
Price Glory" If you have to sell
your shirt and shoes to do it you
will find it well worth the sacri-
flee.

THEY RLuNDEREp

The convalescence of the Demo-
cratic party received severe set
back when the Democrats of the
Senate joined hands with the La
Toilette radicals to refuse the Pres
ident the Attorney General he de-
sired. The sufferer from the vote OF
rejection will be neither Mr.. Cool
idge nor Mr.. Warren, but the DEM
ocratic party, that must bear the
onus of this hysterical act of spite
and bad temper.
The reasons for giving President
the cabinet he wishes regardless of
party lines are obvious. They have
been well stated by the Democra-
tic press of the country in urging
the Senate Democrats to vote for
Mr.. Warren's confirmation. There
was no shadow of question of Mr..
warren's integrity or his ability.
True, he had acted as attorney for
various large corporations; but
what lawyer of any conspicuous
ability has not? New York Herald

TAX-EXEMPTS BURDEN
INDUSTRIES

INDuSI hlES
An issue of Salem, Oregon, tax
exempt improvement bonds, bearing
per cent, sold for a premium of
more than one years interest dur
ing life of bond. Similar bonds bring
approximately equal prices.
Tax-free bonds are large enough
in volume to make it difficult to
secure money for industrial invest
ments, and they abnormally increase
rates for money for farms, for fac
tories and business. Being tax-free,
they leave the burden of national
state and community support on
operating industries thus enforcing
a double penalty. The theory and
practice is wrong.
STRANGER IN CHURCH
The clergyman leaned back in
his chair after supper. 1t was

preachers heave thankful sighs that
their most strenuous day in the

a close.

My Dear Mr.. Cooper:

good hints on collections. But I am
half afraid the hints would not con-
tinue so humorous. Anyway, I am
glad to enclose check for the NEW

My sister, Mrs. Leedom, who re-

Good luck and my best wishes

A BOUQUET FOR MY
OWN RONNEI

Few people like to be dunned for
subscription remittances. Some of
them dislike it so much that they
'bawl us out" when the get notices
that they owe us some money. And
also we sometimes make mistakes
in the accounts and we are never
forgiven for it.
But occasionally there are in
stances of keen sense of humor
that are indeed refreshing in our
sordid job of collecting money. Such
one is in the following letter
from prominent jeweler in Phila-
delphia. l take the liberty of re-
printing it because it is compli-
ment to the writer as well as to
myself.

capacity for two years, and when Maj.
Harry Gessford retired as superin-
tendent Sullivan was designated as
acting chief. After weeks Of keen
competition by number of candidates,
both in and out Of the department,
the late Commissioner Oyster hnaliy
recommended to his colleagues that
Sullivan be made major and superin-

A close spirit of mutual confidence
and understanding marked the Official
relations of Maj. Sullivan and Com
missioner Oyster. Capt. Oyster was a
strong admirer OF Sullivan long before
he was selected as permanent chief Of
police.
Opposed by Harding.
II NAV now he told that Oyster stood
stanchiy by Sullivan in the face OF
determined opposition. and even stuck
to his choice when President Harding
made two other suggestions for the
position He stuck SO strongly that
eventually President Harding told
him that he might as well give Sulli.
van the position.
From that time the Police Commits
sioner and the police superintendent
were extremely close in official rela-
ttons. On every occasion where the
opportunity arose. Capt. Oyster strong
ly supported his chief of police. and
to his friends expressed qualification
at the methods employed by the major
Of the Police Department.

major and superintendent came at a

of the police organization. Numerous
little cliques and factions were hard
at work advancing selfish interests.
Discipline was recognized as being
lax. 1t became Sullivan's task TO
bind these factions together into
united organization. He went at II
with vim. A quiet. diplomatic sort
of a person. who could see two sides
to every argument, he smoothed down
the rough spots in the police organi-
zation until an essence Of harmony
began to be noted. 1t was impossible
for him entirely to eliminate friction.
but he pacified the hostile elements
and smothered angry outbursts.

record he made in the police service.
Commissioner Fenning and Acting

their sympathy. Inspector Evans I'M

Word of Maj. Sullivan's death was
received with the deepest regret at
