A Lament from China

In contrast to the efforts In Russia to make atheism
tho state religion. is an appeal by President Chang
Kai-Shek to save to China the virtues Of its ancient
morals. He has issued a manifesto to the country, urging
the Kuomintang. or Nationalist party. to charge itself
with this task. He makes 1t q patriotic appeal. holding
that the preservation of the Celestial republic is depend
ent on the moral fibre Of the people. This fibre has
become rather slack as a result Of the overcoming
rebclions through which China has been passing.
The Chinese people have preserved many noble
spiritual principles in their religions and moral codes.
They are not far behind the japanese. with their Bushido
code and their feudal military chivalry. both of which,
while falling short of the prccepts of Christianity, have
been the basis of a dignified oriental morality-one out
of which occidental nations might with some benefit
select a few tenets of honor and be the better for it.
It Is rather touching to read Chang Kai-Shek's appeal
to his people. He says:
What is more deplorable is the general moral de-
graduation of the people during the last few years. with
the result that the last vestiges of the traditional virtues
and morality Of the nation are fast disappearing. Such
a state of affairs. if not Immediately ~rectified, will soon
cause the extinction OF the nation, even If it were UNI
harassed by the imperialists and the communists.
The general lack Of morality and sense of honor
on the part of the people constitutes a far more danger
GUS menace to the future of the nation than the economic
and military aggressions of foreign countries"

River Holds Out Hopeful Future

Agricultural wastes and the Missouri river are bound
up together, in the opinion of Governor A.. ]. Weaver Of
Nebraska. in industrial development Of the country
along the course of the big stream-ten states.
The Nebraska governor brought up the subject at the
recent convention of the Missouri River Navigation as
ISOLATION at st. Joseph, Mo. He said cheap navigation
would. In his opinion, induce factories to locate along
the river to process farm by-products, which have q
potential value but afford no practical use at this time,
because of high rail freight rates. River transportation,
in his opinion, would provide the means of cheap ship
ment to markets in other portions Of the country and
thus make fabrication economically possible, thereby
providing new sources Of income for the farmer.
The association. by the way. is looking for an exten-
sion Of navigation by deepened channel to st. Joseph by
1882. The aim of the organization is to develop the en-
tire upper course of the Missouri and thus restore naviga-
ton, not as in the old romantic days of the 70s, but by
farges. as has been done on the Mississippi into the
Twin Cities from the gulf.
North Dakota looks with approving eyes on the pro-
gram Of the Missouri Navigation association. The da,
IS coming when the future Of Bismarck and river barges
may be associated in q new economic era and real farm
relief.

ing. took It in silence: and when the lieutenant left
the sailors who were nearby prepared to hear some
rock blast Of cursing that would eclipse any
thing they had ever heard before.
The chief petty officer drew in his breath for the great
effort: then suddenly he Debated himself. His shoulders
dropped YEARLY, and in q weak voice he remarked simply,
"Ain't he foolish?"
The man simply wasn't up to it. He couldn't do the
situation justice. Where q sailor Of 200 years ago would
have grated for five minutes, he found he had no
vocabulary or training to deal with the matter. We have
declined or improved as you look at it. We aren't the
men-good or bad-our forefathers were. Maybe we spend
our energy on p~ontlcss cursing over trivialities: when the
big events. that might inspire real, expert two-fisted
cursing arise, we are helpless.

Men the Emotional Sex

tImosene B. Oakley in the North American Review
A suspicion that had been growing in my mind since
my first days in the courtroom on jury service was there
and then confirmed; men are the emotional sex.
Having been brought up In the orthodox faith that It
Is my sex that IS ruled by its emotions, my amazement
was great to find men jurors more susceptible than
women to emotional oratory, and to learn from other
women jurors that we are all Of one mind Is to the ap-
parent inability Of our masculine associates to grasp the
elementary fact that the more pathetic the lawyers ap-
peals the weaker the evidence.
'keminisfn Is ruling our courts" says an eminent
judge. BY feminism he must mean sentimentalism, but
sentimentalism Is the last fault to charge against women
Jurors. A distinguished member Of the Philadelphia hax
has spoken to me Of the condemnation felt By the aver
age attorney when for the first time he ~confronts IN the
jury box the unrelentins logic Of the feminine mind"
and IL Is this unrelenting logic which may eventually
bopish women nom the jury. not openly By Law, but

DO you HAVE ELASTIC INNER
TUBES9

Do you HAVE ELASTIC INNER
TUBES9
The little tubes which carry thu
blood from the heart to the tissues
are called arteries. These have On
elastic lining which expands and con-
tracts In waves originating with the
contraction Of the heart. This q the
pulse you can feel ct various parts Of
the body. The arteries stretch and
contract Z good deal like rubber.
When the patient grows older, the
elastic In his arteries may lose it,
snap like IN old garter, and then he
has what Is called hardening Of the
arteries.
It is an old saying and true that q
man is as old as his arteries, for the
person with brittle arteries is truly
aged, while the one with supple, flex-
ible arteries Is youthful. There Is no
reason for having the arteries harden
early in life, since by reasonable liv-
ing their elasticity may be preserved
Throughout life. Remember that your
arteries are q good deal like the inner
tubes on your automobile. In fact.
they might be called the inner tubes
of your body, with the exception that
the inner tubes on q car carry air and
those in the human being carry blood.
The best inner tube is made Of
springy, live rubber, and the best ar
teries are those which start out In
life with plenty Of flexibility.
We begin life with arteries which
might almost be stamped, "Guaran-
teed for 60 years." but both inner
tubes and arteries must be treated
If the best mileage is to be
from them. Inner tubes which
are scorched while burning up the
road with bursts Of speed r apt to
wear out, and arteries which r put
under q great strain under the excit-
ing press of modern life are bound for
an early reconditioning or for the
scrap pile.
The ancients really did think that
the arteries were inner tubes made
to carry air because they found that
the arteries were full Of air after
death had taken place. and they de-

Rugged Individualism' Grows

OF all the electric utility power generated in 1926 in
this country. but 4 Ia per cent was produced in municipal
plants. And if the Hetch-Hetchy plant of the city of
San Francisco is excluded. the proportion was but 3 l-2
per cent.
The number of municipal enterprises, as well, has
steadily declined. In 1922. there were 2y5sl such sys-
TENS, serving 2.s4o communities: in 1927 there were but
1880 municipal plants serving 1850 communities.
The trend of the American people away from social
ism has been ono Of the most important developments of
recent years. The election Of q president who stands
for rugged individualsm' shows where the wind blows.
The American public has learned that political prom
ises and statements are to be regarded obviously. for
when business is politically operated the result IS gen
orally chaos and q large deficit, as the glaring instance
