NICARAGUA PEACE
PROGRESS CLAIMED
Steps Toward Pacification of
Southern Republic Re-
ported by StimSon.

Further progress toward the actual
pacification of Nicaragua was report
ed to the State Department today by
Henry l.. Stimson, personal represen-
tative of President Coolidge.
Mr.. Stimson, who has presented a
peace plan, based on the continuance
in Office for the present Of President
Diaz, conservative leader, and Amer
lean supervised elections in 1928, ad-
vised Washington authorities today
that Gen. Moncada, the Liberal COM
mander. although refusing formally
to accept the peace terms, had taken
steps which he believed would result
in "de facto, though not a formal
settlement" between Diaz and his op-
ponents.
Liberals as Governors.
Gen. Moncada has suggested to DiaZ
that Liberals be named as governors
in six Liberal departments of Nicara-
qua and Diaz has accepted the sug-
gestion. Mr.. Stimson construed this
as evidence of the desire of Moncada
and other Liberal leaders to cooperate
in the pacification and readjustment
cepted by the Washington Govern
ment.
He also reported the proclamation
by Diaz of general amnesty and prepa-
rations by the Managua government
to raise the censorship on the press
as soon as disarmament of both Lib.
eral and Conservative military forces
has been completed by the turning in
OF weapons to the custody of Ameri-
can Marines. Moncado has left Ma
nagua to join his Liberal army, and
urge the troops to turn in their arms
the message said.
Other ConeiIiatory Steps.
In connection with the agreement
between Diaz and Moncada for the
appointment Of the six Liberal gov
| ernors, Stimson's message said, "Other
| conciliatory steps were under consid-
eration."
The government troops have vir-
| tually all been withdrawn south of the
line of the Tipatapa River, which Is
being held by the American forces,
while the Liberals are in their former
| positions to the north Of the river
line, the message said.
That the armed conflict in Mica.
AoSoo was " DS CluCu WdS du-
mitted today by DIR. T. S. Vaca, rep
resentative here of Juan B. Sacasa,
the Liberal chief, who set up the
movement against Diaz.
"By dictate of the President of the
United States the Liberal forces have
been ordered to disarm,' he said,
and at this moment the Marines are
moving toward headquarters of the
| Liberal armies.
Likened to Crepe.
1.-THE end of the Nicaraguan episode
leaves in the hands Of the Central
American nations a life and death
problem they can no longer pretend
to ignore. The buffer state OF Mica
ragua Is like crepe hanging at the
doors Of the Caribbean nations. The
next act belongs to the big loans, the
| bank, the railroad and other conces-
sions. The Liberals may be disarm'
ed and put down by force, but they
have not and cannot recognize the
! fictitious legality of DiaZ, upheld only
| by the naval force of the United
! States"
The proposed plan for settling the
Nicaraguan trouble was made known
last night.
Stimson's report, as outlined by the
State Department, stipulated eight
cardinal points which he believed
would effect conclusion of hostilities.

HAND CLASPS.

Nothing so eloquently reveals character as the hand-clasp. One may train his voice to ex- press courage and a cordiality unpossessed; one may acquire a poker-face; one may feign pleel sure at meeing and dis pleasure at parting; but the offered hand neither conceals rnor deceives. A blind man, deaf and dumb from birth, can read this message of the hand.
 Is it a strong hand that func- tions with the irresistible de- termination of a wise? If it is, it belongs to a he-man--a-go- getter--or to a true friend. Its warm and sturdy clasp belongs to a frank countenance and a feeling heart.
 Is it a hand that gives quick slight pressure and at once lib- crates itself? That sort be- longs to the busy man and is born of independence and in dividualism.
 Is it a limp hand? Then it be- longs to a limp man, to one who is too tired to be interest ed in persons and things. To him !zand shaking is an unnec- essary formality in which no energy should be wasted.
 Is it a lingering hand which caresses rather than clasps and which refuses to liberate it's prey--is it a predatory hand until it has accomplished it's purpose? This is the practiced hand-clasp of the politician, the swindler and the cheat. 1t belongs to the man with a mission" or a message"
 Grasp the hands of those you would have show their hand"

HOUSE ORGANS
 UNDER FIRE

The following from the Den yer Mining & Financial Rec ord conveys a timely warning against that too frequently misrepresentative and often wholly unreliable class of pub lications known as the "house organ" Local readers need look no farther than the recent unwarranted depression in Premier stock to find a glaring example of the damage that may be done by one unscrup- ulous publication of this class.

WHAT MAKES PROSPERITY

Prosperity means good busi- ness, and good business means active buying. Buying moves in a circle.
 There are four factors in the circle of buying--the manu- facturer, the jobber, the retail CT and the buyer. Together these factors constitute the public. The manufacturer, the jobber or retailer is in a sepa- rate class from the buyer only so far as his business is con- cerned. In every other relat- ion in life he is one small in dividual in the great mass called the public, and he is af- fected by the same living con- ditions that affect the latter. Outside his own business he, too, is a buyer, so he joins with the public in starting the buying impulse that sweeps around the circle. He buys the comforts and necessities of life, and he wants reasonable prices the same as the public does.
 Not all Hyder merchants are using the local papers to un- load their shelves. But it can be depended upon that the ones who are, are the ones who are anxious to join hands with the public in bringing about prosperity and keeping the community prosperous.

BOOSTERS WANTED.

A town has no place for the knocker. A knocker is hardly a man without a country, but his country, his town, or his community has little use for him.
 The thriving city is filled with boosters--boosters who so out number the knockers that their knocking does not count for much.
 We like the boosters. Some times they are super-enthusi- astic, or, rather, over-enthusi- astic is the better word. But they are always enthusiastic for their home town or the cause in which they are interested, and they are never to be found hanging around somewhere knocking this and knocking that. A booster is not built that way.
 We must have boosters; they are just as necessary to the successful enterprise as day light is to the earth. A town has no place for the knocker-- it matters not whether he knocks the town, it's enterpris- es. or it's citizens. Show us a man who knocks his fellow citizen and we will show you the poorest excuse for a citi- zen extant.

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS

garding mining conditions in Canada, suggests that the Can adian government bar from it's mails the Wall Street Icono- clast, Financial Debater, land others of the same breed of Boston cats" The Miner says these sheets are causing men, tai disturbance among experi- enced investors and quite poss- ibly grave money losses. The concluding remark of the Can adian mining publication is that those house organs "are worse than trash"
 "The Record has constantly warned it's readers against talk ing house organs too serious ly. Some of them are design ed to fool investors into trad ing good stocks for the quest ionable promotions of the pro- moter or broker who is pub fishing the house organ. The investor who knows their methods does not fall" but the beginner who believes ev1 erything he sees in print may became a victim.
 "The Wall Street Iconoclast put the yeast under four different stocks and they soar ed. The experienced buyer took his profits before the shares took their recent tum- ole. There is an old saying hat speculators will not sell on a rising market. That is he reason that the publisher of the Iconoclast and his imi- tators have been successful.
 Tt is unfair to legimate pub lications to have house organs, disguised as legimate inde- pendent publications, in com
 
 petition with them. The house organ should be plainly label ed so that no on will be fool od. Then when the promoter publisher may, for instance, advise you to sell your Nevada Consolidated Copper and buy Idaho Copper, you will know that the suggestion comes from The promoter of Idaho Copper. investigate before you invest and remember that no one ev- CT went broke taking a profit.

The Marines on Parade.

Thirteen hundred United States Ma
rines marched through the principal
streets of Shanghai while members
| of the foreign colony cheered ana
thousands of natives lined the way,
silent, but impressed, 1t was not an
| official landing" of American forces.
| The Devil Dogs had been cooped up
ahoardship after a long sea voyage
and needed exercise. SO they took 1t in
| the form of parade, with bands play
| ing and flags flying, fully armed and
accoutered. If foreign residents of
| Shanghai found reinsurance and pos
sihle rioters warning in the demon
stration, such reinsurance and warn
| ing were, of course, only incidental to
| the fact that the American Marine is
an active lad and must have chance
| to stretch his lass.
But the - surance and warning
| may wo'' 70 great harm to the situa-
| ton in the troubled city. For reasons
which have nothing at all to do with
willingness to carry a fair share of
the burden of protecting life and
property, this Government has found
it impossible fully to cooperate with
other governments in their program
for solution of the Chinese problem
| This fact has caused considerable dis
| coura cement to British and other for.
eign residents within the zone of trou-
BILE and may have given more or less
encoura cement to belligerent Chinese
and their willy Russian associates.
Cable dispatches relate that many
of the Chinese who lined the streets
barred their heads as the America n
flag was carried by. Such an evidenc'
ing of respect is very much to the
good in a situation such AS that at
Shanghai. Respect grows from belief
both in fairness and in f1rmness, one
being as necessary as the other to its
engendering. When fairness and firm
ness are backed by an impressive dis
play of strength, the psychological eff
feet Is found to be wholesome one.
IT NAV we'll be that the need of the
Marines for a day of exercise ashore
was an extremely fortunate coinci'
dence.

1t forward are busy lavmen who have
actually given weeks of their time in
declaring. in churches and similar
gatherings. their deep Christian con
VictiOns. Nothing so stimulates one s
convictions as to give expression to
them. The great evangelist Moody
began in a very humble way to tell
men what his religious convictions
had done for him. Out of these re
markahle beginnings he came at
length to he one Of the foremost evan
gelists the world has known. II may
he true that the church in latter years
has given little encoura cement to it's
lay members to give public expression
to their religious feelings and emo
tons. 1t is now beginning to he evil
dent that the time has come when
the ordained ministry must he sup
plemented by the articulate faith of
the laYman. The church will always
need duly constituted officers for the
conduct of public worship and for the
ministry of the pastoral office. This
does not in any sense preclude the
consistent recognition OF the layman's
place IS preacher of righteousness.
IT Is interesting TO note how many
men in public life today arc, in their
official uttera noes. empha sizing the
need of recognizing Christ S ministry
to the world One of the important
things for laymen to remember is that
one does not have to have a pulpit or
the atmosphere of q church in which to
exercise his ministry. The shop, the
office, the club. the drawing room,
offer wide field for service. Christ s
ministry was. in most instances. to in
dfviduals. Walking along a dusty
highway, He disclosed to disa ppointed
disciples the high gaming and pur-
pose of life. In home overshadowed
by sorrow. He gave to two lonely
women the deep truths of immortal
ity. Seated at the close of day by an
ancient we'll. He told a housewife who
had come 10 draw water for an eve
ming meal of living waters that would
spring up into life eternal.
Just now there is the greatest need
for men and women who, in private
life, will prove the efficacy of their re-
ligious faith not only by spoken word,
but by a consistent habit of life. Our
youth in particular are more influ-
enced by example than by precept.
If, as some one has said. 1.-The key to
the mass is the individual" we need
TO stress anew both the privilege and
the opportunity afforded Christian
men and women so TO exemplify the
value of Christs teachings that they
will compel the Indifferent and care
less to recognize and yield to His high
claims.

EVERYDAY RELIGION
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN, d. d. Ill. d,
Bishop Of Washington.

viii the eternal religion be a lay
mans religion or the religion of a
priest?" was a question asked some
time since in a discussion conducted
by English neWspa pers. The summary
of this discussion disclosed the fact
that the most vigorous and suggestive
letters hearing upon the need Of re-
NlV%l of religion came from laymen.
The words that sank deepest into the
pubic mind were those of medical
men, of sailors, of lawyers. of police
men, all those who were in the thick
Of secular affairs, who discussed re-
ltgion from the standard of simple
manhood and not from that Of profess
sional interest" 1t is certainly worthy
or remark that not only in F,ngla nd g..
nut All over this country, the lay mem.
hers OF the church, as we'll a S laymen
OUT or the church. are giving serious
heed TO the spiritual need of the hour.
Some Of the most notable religious
utterances that stirred the world dur.
ing the Great War came from those
who commanded the forces on sea and
land The great Marshal Foch openly
declared when asked concerning his
religious habits, Prayer has enlight-
ened my way
We may never forget that, from the
first disciple of Christ down through
the ages, the consecrated Christian
laNman has been a potential factor in
pressing forward the frontiers of the
Christian Church. 1t was said con.
corning those early pea SAINT disciples.
They that have turned the world up.
side down have come hither also
Again. we cannot forget that many of
the greatest revivals in human history
have been initiated and set forward
through an aroused and enlivened lay
endeavor. Repeatedly those who have
fallen under the spell of the Divine
Master have so exemplified His life
and teachings that they have provoked
far-reaching and salutary changes in
every sphere of human action.
To William James the unanswera BILE
argument for Christia nifty was to be
found In the redeemed lives of those
who had actually experienced His re-
generating and saving power. A lived
gospel is ever more potential and per.
suasive than preached gospel. Moth
ing is more convincing or persuasive
than the consistent example of one
who lives by the rule of Christ. 1t
has been repeatedly demonstrated that
States and communities are regener-
ated and saved not by the many, but
by the few.
In a movement now in progress in
the Episcopal Church, known as the
Bishops Crusade, some of the most
influential of those who are carrying
