PLATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOURNAL MONDAY, APRIL SO, 1934. PAGE SIX Settling Dispute IT IS a strange thing that men often resort to strife first and reason afterwards in their efforts to settle disputes. . Misunderstand ings, jealousy, envy, self-justification, and the like are corrected not through strife, but through reason and amicable agreement. Wars are not a means of securing such an agreement; but after the use of bay onet and gun has ceased, and reason begins to bring about peaceful rela tions, then disputes are settled. The ages have furnished historical data which prove that material am bitions and possessions afford no sound basis for peace, in either na tional or personal relations. Matter, being limited in its nature, expresses the belief of limitation in its every manifestation. Instead of making one great, trutt in matter weakens one who relies upon it; and what this re liance does to individuals it does to nations. One right thinking individ ual is more valuable to world peace than millions of wrong thinkers. Re ferring to this individual importance, Mary Baker Eddy has written In "Pulpit and Press" (p. 4): "You have simply to preserve a scientific, positive sense of unity with your di vine source, and daily demonstrate this. Then you will find that one is as important a factor as duodeciiiions in being and doing right, and thus demonstrating deiflc Principle." A little farther on she quotes, "One on God's side is a majority." . . . As the spokes of a wagon wheel get nearer the hub, they get nearer to each other: so is it with men; as they get closer to God in thought, they get closer to one another. The divine plan is impartial and blesses all alike who obey its laws of action. Love does not grant special favors, nor restrict legitimate progress; neither does it provide for such reg ulations through the material agen cies commonly known as implements of warfare. The words of our Mas ter, who came to fulfill the law, not to destroy, are as significant today as when they were spoken to Peter after he had drawn his sword and cut off the ear of the servant of the high priest: "Put up again thy sword MOVE TO NEW LOCATION The Cass County Chevrolet Co. to day completed the removal of their garage and sales and service depart ment from the building at Fourth and Main street to the O. K. Gar age on Washington avenue. The O. K. Garage has been cleaned out for the new occupants and it is ex pected to have the display and sale3 rooms redecorated as soon as possible. The new location will allow a great deal more room to adequately dis play the r.ew models in the sales rooms as well as special rcoms for tires, tools and accessories as well. The Chevrolet Co. will operate the filling station in addition to the auto rales and services lines, handling the Skelly gas and which is now being placed in service. The building is one of the best in the city and built for garage pur poses is one that is well arranged in every way for this line of business.

Home of Quality Footwear into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword." Then, as If in holy benedic tion, he turned Peter's thought from matter to the infinite source of all good by asking. "Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?" . . . During the last quarter of a cen tury was witnessed the most vicious and widespread combat ever fought, and today there is a crying need for assurances of peace, and a univer sally acceptable basis for the settle ment of disputes. Spurred on by what it calls national defense policies, the human race has become engaged in the provision of drastic material methods of self-preservation. But that which counteracts "all evil" comes from the divine Mind, not from the cannon's mouth. When animality gives way to brotherly love, and trustworthiness takes the place of dependence upon bruth strength, the desire to rule one's neighbor through force or cunning ?ill cease. It is the nature of God's law to ele vate, not suppress, the human race; to give life, and not to take it. His law holds universal jurisdiction over all points of equity, and His angels bestow all blessedness on those who obey H:s law. As one becomes better acquainted with the demands of di vine Mind, one begins to settle per sonal disputes by first correcting one's own thought. Starting with God, the source of all intelligence and good, one may establish friendly relations with others, for there is but one common origin and basis of all harmonious action. Intelligence has already estab lished an impartial and wholly prac tical answer to all questions; and when the entire human family sub mits to God's government, there will be no cause for distrust, tear, or strife, and there will be no unsettled disputes among men. Then will the prophecy cf Isaiah be fulfilled, name ly: "The mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be ex alted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. . . . And they shall beat their swords Into plow shares, and their spears into prun inghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." The Christian Science Monitor.

Missouri River to Benefit from Roosevelt Plan Development Advocates iuxpsct a Favorable Report Soon; Norris Agrees. Washington, April 26. President Roosevelt will send to congress, probably within a week, an outline of future national development which will forecast continued Mis souri valley improvement on a giant scale, supporters of Missouri river development said today. Scoffing at reports that the find ings of the president's cabinet board would be detrimental to the Mis souri, these river advocates said they expected to find the study would substantiate their contention that this valley is the most fruitful field for development of any of the coun try's water sheds. Central Agency Expected. The Missouri and all other water sheds except the Tennessee will be placed under a central agency as a result of this report. Proposals such as that of Senator Norris for a sepa rate authority, or development sepa rately under the reclamation bureau, will be abandoned. Far from injuring the Missouri projects, however, this action will react to its benefit, since it will pro vide a more flexible development pro gram and will avoid the evil effect of congressional enactment of the numerous similar bills patterned on Norris' which were introduced im mediately after his. Weaver and Childe Cheered. Former Governor Weaver of Ne braska and C. E. Childe of Omaha. members of the Missouri Valley as sociation, and other waterways lead ers who are here preparatory to the opening of the annual rivers and harbors congress next week, today joined in expressions of confidence ol the administration's intention to push the huge Missouri development program initiated by the Fort Peck, Mont., project. "I believe that there is the rosiest future ahead for the Missouri," said Weaver. "Not only has congress authorized the channel development but the corp3 oC army engineers has given a sweeping approval tot the program. Congressmen Agree. "In addition, the public works ad ministration has approved the devel opment by allotting fund3 to Fort Perk and committing itself to its completion. I think the Missouri people may look forward with con fidence to the report which will be sent to congress." Members of congress from Mis souri valley states similarly express ed themselves. It was stated on be half of Senator Norris that the pro posal is thoroughly agreeable to him. Secretary Ickes and other officials concerned in the study today referred all Inquiries to the White house. J. ARTHUR PEARSON DIES Ashland, Neb.

Wescott's Since 1879 American En voy Asks Japan About China But Washington Is Silent on Crisis m Far East Foreign Cap itals Are Anxious. Tokio, April 2C. United States Ambassador Joseph C. Grew visited Foreign Minister Koki Hirota at 12:30 p. m. today to discuss Japan's recent declaration of policy concern ing China. The visit of the American envoy was in accordance with instructions from Secretary of State Hull in Wash ington. Previously it was understood the state department had asked the United States embassy in Tokio for a careful translation of Tokio press statements, but no official request had been made for formal diplomatic representation. Foreign Capitals Anxious. The strained international situ ation caused by Japan's pronounce ment of a "Monroe doctrine" policy toward China was brought before President Roosevelt Wednesday, but Washington remained silent. It was one of the subjects for dis cussion between the 'chief executive and Secretary of State Hull, but the secretary was unable to call at the White house during the day. What step, if any, the United States would take on the delicate question was awaited anxiously in London, Tokio, Nanking and othei capitals. In the meantime, comment was caused by information reaching con gress that Mr. Roosevelt would ask it for power to decide when to re inforce the navy, bringing it up to treaty-limit strength. A Blunt Reply. A spokesman" for the Japanese for eign office bluntly replied to requests for explanation of the declaration by saying: "Our statement has been made. Let ethers read it as they will." The British request for elucidation was conveyd to Foreign Minister Hirota by Ambassador Lindley this afternoon. Great Britain surveyed the situ ation anxiously but did not comment herself. The London press generally displayed worry and hostility toward Tokio's attitude. Consul-General Speaks. In Geneva, Masayuqi Yokoyama Japanese consul general, said Japan did not want to drive westerners from the aFr east and intended tc respect treaties. , "Japan nevertheless," he added "cannot accept and will oppose any form of assistance to China whicr is contrary to peace in eastern Asia." Chi-Tsai-Hu, Chinese minister tc Switzerland, declared at Geneva that Japanese imperialism seeks to en close all China and veto the rights t of foreign nations.

Mr. Wool cott has been suffering from an in ternal goitre for some time and Thursday suffered a severe attack from the trouble and which made necessary his being sent to the hos pital.

From Friday's Daily The reorganization of the golf and country club was taken up last even ing at a meeting of those who have been interested in this work in the past and today the drive was on to secure members for this worth while community enterprise. The organization was perfected by the electio nof J. W. Holmes as pres ident and Rev. G. A. Pahl as secre tary who with their committee are planning the active work of placing the club back in its old spirit. The country and golf club has in the past been a much enjoyed and popular part of the social life of the community, providing a place for a great many delightful social events in the summer season which with out the club and its beautiful grounds would be impossible to have. The golf course at the Plattsmouth club grounds is one of the best in this section of the state and where the members can have the facilities of the club house for luncheons or other social gatherings if they wish. The movement to place the club back on its feet should have the sup port of all those who have enjoyed it in the past and thoie who may desire the same opportunity in the future. AN UNKNOWN ARTICLE One of the residents of near this city was a visitor at Omaha on day this week, while there decided to se cure some articles that were needed on a farm. The party visited one store and inquired for a milk strain er and the request was regarded with considerable astonishment by the clerk, who suggested that a milk separator was the article needed and no strainer could be found. Several stores were visited with the result that no strainer could be found. One clerk asked why strain the milk when it comes fresh from the cow. The party , had to give up the hunt for the strainer and return to this city where one was secured at a local hardware store where the merchants are a little closer to the needs of a farm.
