HankOw TerrOTized
By Communist Rule

Shanehi. MAY 8.-Startling de-
tails of difficulties encountered by
Chinese citizens of Hankow under
the communist regime have been
brought to Sha CHI by Hankow
Chinese official who succeeded il
escaping. These details tend to
confirm the opinion held by well
informed Chinese in Shanshi that
the Hankow government must fail
soon because of its weakness and
because of popular disapproval.
Chinese business men in Hankow
regard the southern miitaris,s as
worse than their northern prede-
cessors. Business is all gone with
nobody richer except leaders who
won power by promising sudden
wealth to the coolies. Even the
coolies are ready now TO turn
against the government because of
disappointment.
Holds Situation Intolerable
The Chinese official which the
writer quotes reports that the Han

able. He got out and reached
Shanghi by travelling as a stowaway

mintaDg (nationalist party) leaders

The Crisis in Japan

Japan is in the throes Of COM
mercial crisis which he's led to Q
bank moratorium. This condition
is attributed to several causes. The
war 0ccasioned an artificial expan-
sion of industry and commerce and
produced q prosperity level which.
under Japanese institutions, could
not be maintained after the restor-
alton Of peace.
In every country, economic de-
preston is pretty apt to have def
nite political relations. Japan has
just expanded her electorate from
100000 to 100000 qualified
voters, with the first election under
the new franchise to be held in
1928. Radicalism is busy among
the Japs. and socialism and COM
IDunism have gained some hold on
the minds of the laboring classes,
and unless japan is able to recon-
struct her economic affair the prev
alent distress may enable the Reds
to make further headway. Opposed
to these disturbing elements, OF
course. stand the Japanese peoples
hereditary conservatism and deep
respect for the institutions of au-
thority. But, unless carefully con-
trolled, the negative forces may
take advantage of an economic
crisis to produce serious political
consequences Fort Wayne News

Long DTawnOut Real Estate
Litigation Finally Settled

The Mike McKenna and Dave
Thompson homesteads 2 miles north
of RAYMOND, was recently pur-
chased from the Receiver of the
Sheridsn County State Bank by Roy
Collins. who is now in possession
and putting the land into crop. 1t
is known as "Kellys Corners"
This land has involved thousands
Of dollars of litigation between the
FOLDERS of the first mortgages and
the equity owners who have resort
ed to every legal means in order to
retain possession. and this battle
for possession has ragged back and
forth from District Court to Su-
preme Court and back again, until
finally the Sheridan County State
Bank acquired title which appears
to be clear. Neither side in this lit
igation has profited by this battle.
as it has taken the crop returns of
the equity owners to pay Court
costs AID attorneys fees, and there
is little doubt but that it has cost
the hank auualIv aa much ypnno,
to get the title. Some estimates
have made the costs on both sides
as high as ten thousand dollars
each, but as above stated. the final
result was that q disinterested out
slider has now stepped in and pur-
chased the land for considerably
less than the cost of the litigation
so far expended.

We take exception to the unwar-
ranted attack of the Producers
News upon County Commissioner
Ed Iverson. simply because he can
not agree with the policy of that
newspaper. Ed Ivers0n Is a good
American citizen that has none but
friends in his own community, and
there is no home in Sheridan Coun
ty, where the people are unbiased,
hut that Ed Ivers0n would be well
come to sit down to dinner any day
in the year. Ed Iverson is q good
and generous neiehbor. and anyone
bat calls at his home, whether he
he q we'll known neiehbor, or a
stranger, or friend or foe. but that
he is invited to have a bite to eat
before he leaves. and ii is not fair
to him or to his numerous friends
in Sheridan County to refer to him
in the unwarranted manner that
was used in this weeks issue of the
Producers News.
II is but a few years since Iver-
son was q much sought man by the
editor of the Producers News. and
the fact that he was elected Com
missioner of Sheridan County, by
the vote Of the hackers and beIiev-
ers in the policy Of the Producers
News, and elevated to one OF the
highest political Offices il the Coun-
tv, is an indication that he must
have some qualities back of him,
and we do not believe that be has
been such back slider as be Is
now made out to be. He still re-
tains the warm friendship OF all his
neiehbors the same as in the days
before he incurred the wrath Of the
present powers-that-be. and simply
because he has changed his mind
about County management, and
cannot agree with the Producers
News, is no crime and is rather a
step 10 the right direction. Even
Even the Producers News can
change their mind. as is clearly
indicated by the way they lauded
Mr.. Iyerson a few years ago and
now attack him.
He is a good father and husband.

The Missouri professor replidd that Mr.
