NOT A WAR. JUST 4 QUARREL

Dispatches from the Far East in dicate that the Nationalist of Nank- | ing government of China would be just as much pleased if the Russian Soviets ceased bearing down in Man churia. After retrcating precipitatcly before the embattled Russian hordes and apparently agreeing to permit Russian officials back in the man. agement of the Chinese Eastern railroad, the Ranking government also is credited with having issued an ultimatum 10 the effect that further invasion would mean war. That is the Chinese of it.
 Whatever really is taking place among the diplomats on the scene it has been self-evident since last summer, when Secretary Stimson invoked the Kellogg pact. that the dispute in Manchuria could not be settled until the Ranking govern ment recognized the legal rights Of Russia in her railroad under the existing treaty. The present quarrel was precipitated through seizure of the railroad. Since that time the worlds organization for peace as embodied in the Kellogg pact has done nothing 10 bring about a return to the legal status existing before the railroad was seized. Having tired of waiting, the Soviets began to seek their abrogated rights by force, as virtually every other respecting country would have done under the circumstances.
 The Chinese government in Man churia, following the Russian show Of force was speedily impressed with the advisability of acceding 10 Rus sian demands. The Chinese govern ment in Ranking, however, being further distant and not having had an opportunity 10 be impressed at close hand, is less inclined to give in. This should go far towards settling the basic question at issue, however, as it was the war lords in Manchuria rather in Ranking who seized the railroad ih the first place. It was said that in Ranking there was no enthusiasm over the seizure and the abrogation of the treaty. Now, if Manchuria is willing to return to the status quo before the seizure, the Ranking government should be equally satisfied. There doubtless will be q week or so of discussion, which the Chinese call saving the face, and then everything will be arranged satisfactorily, and both sides can return to their knitting elsewhere.

DOCTORS ,N CITY AND cot NTRY

Secretary Of the Interior Wilbur the other day complained that survey of the United States had dis closed that there were too many doctors in the cities and not enough Of them in the country and the small towns. Mir. Wilbur. himself physi- clan, is yitally interested in q better distribution Of the nations medical talent.
 The theme Of the country doctor has served for many novelist. The country doctor invariably is pictured as a self sacrificing individual who is on call for the people miles around at any time of the day and night. Invariably they become towers Of influence in their small communities more successful men in everything save the accumulation Of wealth than the averag" Of their city col leagues
 Why is il, then, that the modern graduates of the schools of medi- cine show such a disinclination 10 settle in country towns? Instead, they crowd into the cities, where

there already are a plenitude of

there already are a plenitude of physicians
 Sinclair Lewis, whose father was country doctor, devoted some Of the most glowing pages of his earl fer novels to q delineation of the work of country physicians. And there is the incomparable book by Ralph Connor, with the title, The Country Doctor No one can read them without having respect for the craft laboring in the rural places. Lewis, turning to the city doctors penned quite a different tale in his "ArrowSmith."
 The professional duties of the country doctor, it would seem 10 us are vastly moro exciting 10 the nor maj individual than the more hum- drum practice Of the city practition- CTS. The country doctor invariably does everything from curing" a boil on the neck to saving off a leg. The work Of the city doctors con- slslS m a large measure of helping those who arc suffering from lack of exercise and others who merely think they are sick. When somebody really possesses himself of a serious illness he usually is advised to con- suit a specialist. or the specialist is brought to his door at a price that is enough to make a millionaire weep. All Of which happens under the aegis and supervision of the regular doctor who advises it is the right thing to do under the circum- stances.
 The average city doctor has just as many bad accounts as his coun. try cousin, il not more. and there is much larger part Of the public which doesn't value his services at their true value. But to a country cit izen the village doctor is somebody to be honored and respected; to many cityite the doctor is no moro important than a lawyer or an editor. and probably often is considered a more necessary evil than either Of the other two.
 If Secretary Wilbur has his way it will De the business of medical institutions to cultivate more thorough appreciation of the country field. Opportunities exist for medi- cal practitioners to become powers in country communities. The work is hard, but the ultimate compensa- tions are certain The cities, so the secretary's survey indicates, need no additional doctors for many years.
 Yet. human nature being what it is we possibly will see the crowd ing of additional medical graduates into the cities. until economic neces- sity forces the change that already is needed

An, Ha. Not to Mention Eureka, The Land is Full of FelOnS.

The federal judge who declares that under an old statute any per son knowing anything about the possession of liquor on the part of any person, is a felon if he does not report it, has aroused considerable interest in New Britain. There are latent possibilities in this situation that the city must not overlook. If anyone still plays the old game of button, button, who's got the but ton?" it might be well to swap the pastime over to "felon, felon, who's not a felon"? For it certainly is the fact that at least 50 per cent of the people in the average American city know at least one person who possesses forbidden beverages.
 Take the average man who lives some neighbor makes wine Per haps he makes it himself. In many instances he has probably been offered wine at the home of some friend. The fanatic drys need not get offended at this statement. for they may not have any knowledge of technical violation of the law, but the' fact remains that many people have this knowledge.
 There are widespread possibilities on this felony business. Suppose such a rule were not put into effect and an attempt made 10 rigidly en- force it. We might facctiously en- vision two political parties as a re- suit, the "Felons" and the Lily Whites.' One would be made up, of course, of persons who knew where the vile booze lurked in secret, and hadn't tattled; the other would be made up of people who knew and had told, or those few who didn't know. Strong lensed glasses and auxiliary smelling ap- paratus would probably be worn by those who didn't know, so that they might finally achieve the pinnacle of party ideals and locate a booze owner.
 Perhaps party distinction could be attained among the "Fclons" by sniffing out a particularly fragrant case of a violation and keeping it under the hat" The man who only concealed knowledge of a few bottles of home brew obviously

chief way to get publicity in this
 town seems to be to make a bad
 break, when the ensuing abuse is a
 kind of publicity which makes the
 recipient wonder why there are s9
 many bricks in the world.
 The ordinary soft-spoken, eff,
 cient and perhaps thoughtfH coun-
 cilman or alderman doesn't get into
 the limelight much. He may bc
 among the best in the lot, but the public mostly doesn't know he is
 there. Not until he makes a fool statement. or thoughtlessly trips on
 one of the banana peels Of council manic forensics, does he discover | that there is plenty of publicity in the job-but Of the wrong kind. II is at such moments that he wonders whether it wasn't q mistake to run
 for the Council in the first place.
 Granted that councilmrm anl aldermen at times perform in q
 way 10 suggest a supcrabundancc ut politics and wire -pulling-at which times we usually join with other in dignant observers in pointing ouc their futilities-on the whole it is a thanllless task 10 serve the public in this capacity unless there is Il fair proportion Of appreciation. There is a possibility, too. that councilmen would re better publi2 servants if they were subject to less abuse instead Of valid criticism.
 There is the possibility that if there were no unnecessary abuse heaped upon the shoulders Of the gentlemen carrying the loads of the city there would be q tendency for the best grade of citizenship to seek councilmanic honors. Many a dig nifed. honorable and public spirited citizen is loath to let his name be mentioned in connection with coun- clmanic otfice-seekins. The aver age high-gradc citizen 3hrinks from facing the potentialities. Thus the cause of the public is injured. The business of city government would be place1 in distinctly higher plane if more Of the better class Of citizens were willing 10 seek public office, men who are independent n thought and action. and who woul1 not think Of party advantage first and city benefits second.
 Nine times out Of ten, too, proper criticism. where it seems deserved. cuts deeper and brings better civic results than mere abuse. It is far easier to prove councilman wrong by q quotation of facts and figures than to abuse him minus such ap- of conviction.
 Putting the best type of citizen ship in the Council is one of the needs Of the day. The financial re- turns being nil, it means that tho5a themselves for such service should receive square deal at the hands of critics. We ourselves are willing to accord such a square deal. To criticise is a prerogative and a right that under democracy can never be denied; 10 abuse is q boomerang. We have never known Of a public servant, smarting under abuse. who became a bet ter public servant because of it. Everyone, on the other hand, knows of citizens who refuse to have any thing to do with politics because of it's unsavory features, including un- abuse.

League of Women Voters To Have Birthday Party


 The National League of Women Voters has grown up 10 be a great big girl, ten years old. It's going to have birthday party
 Mrs. Richard Edwards of Peru. Indiana. will meet with a group of Connecticut women for the purpose of discussing the anniversary and memorial fund. She was the first national treasurer and has accepted an invitation from Miss Mary Bulk ley, president of the Connecticut league 10 attend a meeting at the Town and Country club in Hartford to consider plans for the obserN- anCe.
 Contrary 10 beliefs which exist in minds of many citizens, the League Of Women Voters is not a partisan organization. It is not particularly interested in the democratic or re- publican parties and mugWumps are not on it's calling list. At the last town caucus in Newington, it was reported that the league in that town was working in the interest Of d certain candidate, and the state ment was printed in the newspapers. But the reporters and editors who were responsible for the publication of the Information received q polite but smart dressing down from Newington woman who takes gram.
 The tenth anniversary will be reached in 1880 and will be tittingly celebrated. For the last ten years, women have been so busy fitting themselves into the niChes of com munity state and nation formerly denied them that there has not been time to celebrate or to do honor to the women whose lives were devoted to the suffrage movement, the league reports. As the successor to the suffrage organization. the league is now looking back over the last ten years and the long fight which
 preceded them It is planning to commemorate the work not only of nationally known figures but also of the hundreds of women in every state in the union who assisted in | the political emancipation and edu- cation of women.
 In the name of such women, the l League plans to raise an anniver- sary and memorial fund which will be used 10 carry on the educational work of the national organization. The fund is to be raised through the state leagues in memory of
