Secretary Nebraska EllUn SEASSTJEING STATEMENT ON CHINA There Is something reassuring in the statement authorized by Secretary Kellogg that the United States gov ernment has refused to join in the note to the Chinese National govern ment submitted by our Minister after consultation with the Ministers ofj England, France, Japan and Italy. There is nothing to indicate the na ture of the note recommended by 'these powers, and possibly accepted by our minister, but it is said to be more drastic than this country can accept. Thus, the president appears to be standing firmly on his original posi tion that we must act independently in China in view of the special selfish interests of other nations having con- cessions and really hostile to the awakening of the national spirits amcmg the Chinese. This is especially gratifying in viewj of the attempt of some missionaries to f th VatinnalistQ through a statement which character-: izes itself. It has all the earmarks of , propaganda. When these missionar-! jies say that the terms "imperialism" g and "unequal treaties," are merely, ana unequal treaties, are ereiy catcnworas tney disclose quite "ear- ly their state of mind and interna tional morals. Nor i3 there anything very impres- sive in their complaint that "the Christian religion is being persistent ly attacked, its leaders maligned and persecuted," and that "no power, nc influence seems able to check this conduct." Chinese people have had a religion of their own for many cen turies and if they prefer their own to ours that is their privilege. And we,; as a nation, are the last people to be shocked over religious persecution which "no power, no influence seems able to check." We have something of the same sort in America today, but '. we arq not expecting the intervention t of some other nation on that account.' The American people expect the American government to do all with-; In its power to protect Americans who obey the instructions of the American military forces now in China, but it is not expected that the American gov ernment will join in pulling the chest- nuts of other nations out of the fire that a perfectly proper spirit of na-i tionalism has get going. j China belongs to the Chinese as America to Americans, England to Englishmen, Italy to Italians. :o: THEY'D EE POOR STUDENTS Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jeffer- , son, Benjamin Franklin, and Grover Cleveland would never get degrees, l from American colleges if they were. young men today, says Professor Whittlesey, of Princeton. He explains himself thus: Lincoln probably wouldn't college at all because of the expense.' If he did his mind "would have out-; rUH all bounds and been unwelcome in the average university." j Cleveland had a very slow deliber-i jate habit of mind and lacked the glib demanded by I Franklin and Jefferson would prob j ably be expelled very early in their j college careers because they would not abide hy the restraints placed on modern students. j One man's guess on all of this is as good as another's, no doubt. It does seem as if the professor had in the language of the day, said something. ; Just what it proves, however, is an- other matter. At first glance his statement would seem to imply a sharp criticism of our modern educational institutions. And, ! doubtless, tnese institutions nave ... many faults, wnicn it would De easy to enumerate at consiaeraoie lengtn. Yet their supposed inability to cope with youths like Lincoln, Jefferson,' Franklin and Cleveland doesn't prove much of anything except that genius is always hard to handle. A Lincoln or a Jefferson is sep - arated from the rest of us by a wide gulf a gulf that is as wide as it is in manhood. He is not normal and ' never can be; will not and cannot abide by the rules and formulas that 1 derstand him. Often enough we dis like and suspect him. But he ends by leading us and helping to shape the course of cur civilization. Professor Whittlesey may be right1 in what he says; he probably is. But it doesn't necessarily mean that our colleges and universities are all wrong. :o: A magazine in the East recently wrote to President Coolidge to know whether or not he would be a candi date for another term in the White House. For three weeks the editor has been watching the mailman, and no answer has come. Do you know why? We someway have a sneaking idea that he had failed to enclose a stamp for reply. v j :o: j "Horseradish must be grated," says a headline, and the gratee should jwear gogles and a clothes-pin. ,9ROvEF Ul, YEARS Baking Powder Guaranteed Pure Use KC for finer texture and larger volume in your bakings Millions of pounds used by our Government NEW CAUSE FOE W0SSY Give an intelligent woman $1,- make thg chances fQur tQ one that ghe wm not marry." declares a Chicago banker, i recalling that 110 of the 153 Chicago 'women each worth $1,000,000 are un i married. ' However, ninety-five of these wo men are widows and only fifteen are young unmarried women, which would seem to discount somewhat the hiker's conclusions. It is natural to .infer that many of the widows have! attained an age when they would not remarry in any event. But un doubtedly there are enough youngei ones, together with the unmarried contingent, to cause some conjecture about the effect of money on a wo man's attitude toward marriage. To be sure, posession of a million dollars obviates the temptation tcj marry for support. But it also intro-j duces into a woman's position with; regard to men, an element of sus picion as to their dis-interestedness. Few women are so egotistic as to be confident that their personal attrac tions out dazzle those of a shining million. Moreover, self-respFcting men who might be attracted to these same women, if penniless, hesitate to court them when rich, lest their sentiments be misjudged. Yet these are the very few men whom such women would likely prefer. And ..there you are Somebody ought to write a book on "How to Get Married, inougn Kicn. -:o: USED TO OBEDIENCE We Americans are spoken of as a liberty-loving race and doubtless we Cti go tcare, but the fact remains that in minor matters, at least, we are pretty! well broken to the iron hand of authority. We love to be bossed; we are accustomed to obedience. This may sound odd in view of our gunmen, rum-runners, and law vio- lators generally; but it is true. The other day, in a large mid-west ern city, there was a certain busy in- tersection where a traffic officer was missing. Out into this intersection strode a civilian a rather ragged, down at the heels civilian. All on his own hook he began to direct traf fic. With lordly waves of his hand he ordered one stream to halt; with equally lordly gesture he ordered an- other stream to proceed. And he got away with It! Motorist after motorist came to that corner, and meekly obeyed the commands of this ragged volunteer. No one ques-, tioned nim; no driver aenea mm. let ... . ... ne most oDviousiy was entirely unoni- ciai. We must love to be bossed. That's about the only explanation. : :o: Do you know what loyalty to your (home town means? It means to buy, ' everything you use and need of youri hme merchants. No one is loyal to his home town who goes away and pays cash for the goods he buys and then asks credit of nis nome merchants m Are You "Toxic?" I k WeZZ,77ifn, -Jf arn Importance of Good Elimination. FUNCTIONAL inactivity of the kidneys permits a retention of waste poisons in the blood. Symp toms of this toxic condition are a dull, languid feeling, drowsy head aches and, sometimes, toxic back ache and dizziness. That the kidneys are not functioning as they should is often shown by scanty or burning passage of secretions. Many readers have learned the value of Doan'a Pills, stimulant diuretic to the kid neys, in this condition. Users every where endorse Doan'a. Ask your neighbor! i DOAN'S p FMaco.MfCtam-Bufl-ia.ii.T AN ESTATE GLUTTEL Examination of the estate left by a former Confederate general, who died in New York recently, showed that he had 119 kinds of worthless stocks. In all, he possessed 269,855 shares, ranging In par value from one mill to one hundred dollars. The net amount of his estate in actual value' was $8,668. ) If his investments had been goodj ones, what would have been tne effect upon his life? In all probability he would have lived in affluence and comfort, instead of nearing old age with the thoughts of money affairs darkening his recollections of an eventful past. Too few of us realize that invest ing money is in itself an intricate business. Fradulent stock scandals, i have not been frequent of late, but there is every reason to believe that fake promoters and grafters are still taking up a huge toll from the purses of the nation. This is particularly deplorable in sections of the South, where there is great need for capital and where there, are many opportunities for profitable I I investment. Indeed, investments at home in a city that shows such promise as does Plattsmouth can .1 scarcely be bettered in any offering which will come to the meduim size or small investor. The safe way to play the game oft is to seek expert advice And the chances are that this expert advice will be to keep the investment at home' where " wil1 Participate in Western Progress and contribute to the business life of home communities.
