MR. WILSON AGAIN VINDICATED.
Woodrow Wilson Is vindicated by
Japan’s withdrawal from Shantung.
At Paris in 1919 Shantung, includ
ing the garrison at Kiaochow, that
had been seized by Germany as in
demnity for damages in the Boxer re
bellion of 1898, was awarded by the
treaty of Versailles to Japan.
, The award was accompanied with
the distinct understanding and ex
plicit assurance that Japan would at
the proper time retire from China and
return Shuntung to the Chinese.
When Mr. Wilson became a party
to this agreement vials of wrath
were emptied upon his head. Phrases
like "the crime of Shantung" were
bandied about by the unthinking and
yawped repeatetdly m the Senate by
Lodge and his partisans. Wilson has
sold out China to Japan—that was
the cry.
To all this the President made the
simple answer that "he had faith in
Japan” and in Japan's promise that
the Mikado's government would at the
proper time restore Shantung to the
sovereignty of China.
This faith of Woodrow Wilson's in
the integrity of one of America's al

The Greek-Turk embroglio of
cent date Is rarely understood either
In result or efTect. Very few people
understood why they went to war,
what they did and how they came out.
Yet you rarely ever find any person,
of sane mind, - who has not gotten
to the Inside of the story who will
favor the Turk. They all are for
the Greeks. This Is caused by the
fact that the Greeks are well known
here and their reputation Is better
than that of the Turks anywhere.
For many years the Terrible Turk
lias beon a byword and recent years
has accentuated the nickname rather
than relieving the stigma. The mas
sacres and horrors perpetrated by
the Turks in this day and time is
enough to make the whole world rise
In holy horror and hatred against any
face, whose principles are no higher
and whose actions are no more hu
mane than that of the Asiatic Turk
It Is for this reason that so many
people are inclined to favor anything
that opposes the Turks and will stand
for any measure whether just or not
of itself to the Turks, that will relieve
them of the possibility of doing more
devilment. If they get the opportu
nity there is very little reason to
• telieve that they would refrain from
any crime known to modern times.
There are facts behind this war
that are not understood that might
help the Turk's position. His reputa
tion, however, has killed any sym
pathy that he might have gained, ex
cept among the powers, whose polit
ical aspirations are such that they
would use him and take a chance
rather than forego thoir commercial
greed. The world isn’t straight yet
by a long way, and the Turk is bad
enough, but not so much worse after
all than some of bis enemies.

THE HERRIN MASSACRE.
The story of the massacre at Her-
rin, Illinois, has merely brought
clearly to the minds of thinking peo
ple tho necessity for discovering the
guilty parties and administering pun
ishment that will prove a severe de
terrent to any others inclined to this
form of slaughter. If ever there
a case that deserves wholesale and
drastic punishment this does. These
men were evidently shot down like
rats, despised, hated and butchered.
How it was possible for men t
work themselves Into such a frenzy
of hatred-is hard to imagine. W-
feel their anguish and despair at the
necessity for quitting their Jobs, but
it is hard to imagine how they could
have worked themselves into this
pitch of murderous design, even
the face of starvation.
It is well that this affair took place

IN A CLA88 BY IT8ELF
A noted advertiser once said that
when he advertised he got business
and when he didn't advertise he didn'
get the business. It is needless t
state that he was a constant as well
as a large advertiser and his business
continued to profit.
There is no trade stimulent likened
unto advertising. It Is rather peculiar
to observe psychological attitude of
many men toward this game, called
advertising. When they naturally
pect business and know it is coming,
they are ready to advertise, to
extra space to get their share. When
they are expecting a dull season and
business falls ott, they make no
cial effort to get more than their share
when it could be easily done by ad
vertising judiciously.
The advertising done in newspapers
is universally regarded as the most
direct and the most effective. There
are thousands of merchants, deprived
of their normal share of business In
dull times because there are hustlers
in every community, who use newspa
pers freely in getting the business that
the merchant expects to come to him
without any effort. All big merchants
are extensive advertisers and they all
get business. When they see that
they are going to fall down they pile
up a big advertising account and It
always pays for Itself.
You needn't be too anxious about
what you didn't get Christmas. Be
thankful for what did come to you
and remember that there were those
nearly so fortunate, and maybe
e deserving.
The whole county learns of the
cident of Rev. J. M. Rushln with the
deepest sorrow and sympathy. If there
was a good all through ma

There are more and more folks who
pay cash for their Christmas things
every year and they do this by means
of Christmas savings accounts, which
laid up during the entire year.
The fellow who lands a Job always
works like the new broom, but the

The swapping of gifts and the

CRANK ON FAYING BILLS
I succeeded by continuous herd
work, end by following the maxim,
"Pay as yon go, and mover go an Inch
further than you can pay.” I was
tempted often enough to venture out
on a limb after a cluster of fruit,
every business man Is, but I stuck
to the maxim.
It I was a crank about getting cash
for my lumber I was Just aa cranky
about paying my bills on the Instant
and I haven't got over It. In my early
days, when I first began to deal with
banks I was often asked If I would
renew my notes on their expiration.
My answer always was that when
note of mine fell due It would be paid
In full, and I lived up to that platform.
If I were giving advice to the young
men It would be to be a crank -
paying bills. It Is not alone that
gives you credit with others, It Is t
selT-dlscipline that It promotes.
As for hard work, I did it to begin
with because I wanted to get on. I do
it still for the best of reasons—be
cause I enjoy it, and because once a
man -begins to let up, he slacks away
too rapidly. Self-indulgence !

Globe.
The foregoing was handed to tl
editor by Mr. E. A. Barnett. It is
good rule for all of us to strive to Hi

Cranks are not to be despised. Some
of the world’s greatest achievements
have come through geniuses the world
has seen fit to call cranks. Oh, for
■weep of debt-paying sentiment—for
cranks on paying bills. Because
debtor cannot pay a debt Is no reason
why be should not try. and keep
trying until It is paid in full.
Many people who cannot pay their
debts now are going to keep oi
lng until they do pay them. Seme
others are taking advantage of the de
pressed conditions not to try to pay
at all, while some others could pay
if they would and still others are tak
ing short turns to defraud their cred
itors of honest debts.
No one has any confidence In the
religion or the good intentions of any
man or woman who does not “come
clean," ao to speak, in their obliga
tions. And we know church members
and others who are not "coming
clean.’’—The Madisonian.
MOONSHINE WHISKEY
FATAL TO CHRISTMAS
PARTYIN OHIO TOWN
Shelby, Ohio. Dec. 2#.—Phillip
Welganott, 35, and Lester Elaton, 35,
last night were being held for the
Richland county grand Jury on
charges of murder In connection with
the death Sunday of Chief Ralph
Longley, 32, after he drank moon
shine whisky at a "Christmas party.”
Two other men who partook of the
liquor were blinded and a score made
HI.
Elston was arretted yesterday
his forty-acre farm on a warrant
t by Welganott. When ar
raigned, both men admitted gelling
the liquor, which the authorities be
lieve contained wood alcohol, but
pleaded not guilty to the charges of
murder.
An investigation Into Langley’s
death was begun yesterday by Coron
er LeBuer. Samples of the whlakey
have been sent to the state chemist
for analysis. When officers arrested
Elston they confiscated a still and
six gallons of liquor. Elston said, ac
cording to the officers, that he had
been making the whiskey for several
months and that no deaths from it had
occurred previous to that of Longley.
He said he purchased the farm last
October and formed a partnership
with Welganott. the latter disposing
of the product while Elston devoted
his time to the manufacture, the au
thorities said he told them.
