White died at seventy-five in Emporia the
little Kansas city where he was born and
which he made famous with his little daily,
the Gazette.
Like many other Americans he paid part
OF his college expenses by learning to set type
on a newspaper, and in his final year quit
his studies to take regular job on the Ell
Dorado Republican. When he reached the
ripe old age Of twenty-five he went to the
Kansas City Star to write editorials. When
he was twenty-five he married a. Kansas City,
Kas, school teacher, Miss Sallie Lindsay, and
shortly afterwards went to Emporia, pur-
chasing the Gazette.
In 1896 he was waging a losing fight against
the Populists, VIII EN- an episode happened
which brought him into the national limelight.
In company with other party leaders, he
stood on street corner and saw the Populist
parade pass by, gay with banners and floats,
stretching for almost mile on either SIDE OF

that the editorial had been used more than

THESPIANS PLAN
A 3-ACT COMEDY

''Hobgoblin House." a three-act
comedy by Jay Tobias, has been
selected by the New Hanover High
Thespians as their annual play.
The only performance will be CIV
en- on. Saturday night, February
IL.
The play, which is a fast NOV
ing mystery-farce, is set in an
old, reputedly haunted house in
the Ozarks. The owner of the
building is Miss Priscilla Carter,
a spinsterish lady of about forty
five who SCOTS at love. She has
purchased it as an excuse to get
her two young nieces away from
their boy friends whom she be-
lieves to be merely fortune hunt
ers after the girls money.
All of the action takes place
during the first night they spend
in their new home.
The leading character in the
play is Darius Krupp, the hunch-
backed old caretaker of the es-
tate. This part will be taken by
Claude Jordan. Mary Roland and
Mary Elizabeth Barefoot will por-
tray Miss Prissy's two nieces,
Marian an Jill, with Barbara
Marshall playing Miss Priscilla
herself.
Eugene Montgomery and Maui
rice Grissom will fill the roles
of the two young lovers.
Much Of the comedy will be fur
nished by Miss Prissy's three ser
wants, Delilah Worts, Henry Goo
Der, and Susan Parkins. Delilah
and Henry, the cook and gardener
respectively, are typical Negro ser
wants and desperately afraid OF
"hants'' and ghosts. These parts
are being taken by Lorraine D'lu-
gin and Jack Ormund. Susan, the
"Henglish 'ousekeeper," will be
played by Mary Emma humphrey.
The cast will be rounded out by

Middle East Trade

James M Lands, former director Of CT
villain Defense and present director OF Eco
nomi. Operations in the Middle East. has
laid before President Roosevelt and Secretary
of State Hull his report on conditions in that
area as gathered during three months study
on the ground The conclusion he has reached
is that the United States is not making the
most of its opportunity to establish permanent
trade connections there.
And while we have been overlooking our
chance to build up strong commercial outlet
for postwar years, Great Britain has stolen
a march on us, as usual in trade matters,
and is solidifying her hold. It is the current
opinion that Mr.. Lands reported, not to the
President and Mr.. Hull alone, but to mem
bers Of Congress that Britain supplies her
share of Middle East war requirements
through regular commercial channels thus
enabling her manufacturers to maintain or
develop their contacts, while United States
exports-not lent-leased but paid for-are sent
anonymously through the lendleast machin-
cry. AS result, he has argued, Britain has
dominated the situation commercially.
Of the situation unfamiliar, but the emphasis
laid upon it by Mr.. Lands hopefully will
crystalize sentiment in the proper quarters
to effect some kind Of reform by which the
United States may assume better position
in the trade that will be available after the
war. There is no reason to recognize the
Middle East as an exclusively British sphere
Of influence in years to come, particularly
as it has been American engineering n
American goods and equipment that preserv-
ed it from German conquest when Britain
could not hope to do the job alone.
The British reply to American criticism is
that in such typical pre-war year as 1887
the United States exported to Egypt, Algeria,
Tunisia and the whole Middle East only some
$50, OO0, 900 worth Of goods and imported an
almost exactly similar amount; that the ter
ritory as a whole is not rich enough to be
of substantial commercial Importance but that
strategically it is important to Britain and
her Empire
In answer to this it may be said that where
as the Middle East in former years had been
chiefly exploited by the British for Britain's
sain, and its importance mnimized to pre-
vent competition, postwar conditions will be
entirely different that the Middle East will
have enormously increased trade value in
the brave new world after the war. If the
United States does not lay the foundation for
its trade structure there now, Britain will
take it ALL We can be sure of that.
So what are we going to do about it? The
time has come for the United States to dis
miss the idea of being Good Samaritan to
the world, and take realistic view Of post
war opportunities.
