Pub- lished every Thursday and sent postage paid to any address for, in OFFICIAL COUNTY ARD CITY PROCEEDINGS The Daily Pioneer is & member of the United Press Association, ana s represented for foreign advertising by the \ CHINA INVITES AMERICAN CAPITAL China’s wonderful progress in commercial as well as political lines and the various fields she offers to American enterprise were among topics dscussed by Professor Jeremiah W. Jenks of New York University, Alex- ander Hamilton Institute, and The Far Eeastern Bureau, on his recent visit to Milwaukee. Dr. Jenks has just completed a tour of principal American and Canadian cities where he has spoken before gatherings of business men on economics, government and the Chinese situation in va- rious aspects. Dr. Jenks is especially qualified to speak with authority on China because of his long and’ intimate connection, both personal and official, with China and the Chinese. “The China of today is a modern, very progressive country,” said Dr. Jenks in part to his Milwaukee audience, ‘‘The rate of progress in China is easily equal to that in the Philippines, which I visited on two trips to China. While we have been justly admiring and praising the Jap- anese on their recent development, the progress of China in the past dozen years has been as great as that of Japan at her very best. China is no longer in leading-strings; she is as awake as any;nation on earth. She is truly republican in spirit, even more so than in form, and is determined to run her own affairs along modern lines. “The Japanese have been making especial efforts for the past two years to make themselves well known and admired by Americans. Their campaign has been well financed and skillfully conducted, so as to empha- size their good qualities. It is a wise and proper policy; but in connection with it they have tried to persuade American business men to help them to develop China, asking us to furnish the money while they provide the knowledge of China, the assumption being that the Chinese have not the ability to manage their cwn affairs, even if they have the money. “The people in China who know the Chinese best are of the opinion that, if Japan and the other foreign nations will stop their acts of aggres- sion and interference in Chinese policies and in making of Chinese laws, the Chinese will have the strength and ability to manage most of their own affairs. Even now if they need assistance they are fully competent to choose and need not accept dictation. “Americans need not act through the Japanese, but should help the Chinese directly to develop their country unless they themselves wish Jap- anese aid. It is the universal testimony of those who know both inti- mately that the Chinese are fully as capable and as intelligent as the Jap- enese. The main difference has been that the Japanese have had a power- ful army and navy. They have used threats and force to compel China to vield. Where the Japanese are in control of Manchuria, despite treaties and ertions, they have not maintained the ‘open door’ as American and English business men understand that expression. The Chinese dislike Japan and are suspicious of her motives. For Americans to deal through Japan is to hamper themselves needlessly. Americans have a remarkable opportunity to help China with profit to themselves and benefit to all na- tions interested in the Far East; they shm}ld take it promptly and firmly.” DON'T STOP LIVING—BUY WHAT YOU NEED When those to whom we look for information as to the condition of things and advice as to our future prospects told us tobe economical during the war, they never intended we should stop living, as some timid folks seem to imagine. . The country is at war, sure enough—and every man is expected to do his duty. And there is need of economy in foodstuffs and other things, to the end that we may be helpful and efficient. That's all. We're fabulously rich. We have natural resources beyond dreams. We can feed and finance the whole world. " But we must get on the job in dead earnest. . Billions are to be spent here by foreign powers—now our allies— as fact as we can use it. It means not only work for everybody, but high wages and great prosperity. Don’'t be extravagant, but buy the things you need—foods clothing, home furnishings. Go to the movies. Laugh, play, cheer up—and fight when your turn comes. our OVER STEPPING THE MARK The tendency during the past four years to enact legislation that reaches far beyond the field which such legislation s necessary has been eémphasized by Senator Albert B. Cummins of Iowa, one of the ablest lawyers in the upper branch of Congress. This process has been accel- erated in the last two years, until now when somebody discovers a defect in the law, which everybody is in favor of remedying, an amendment is proposed not limited to the case which has been discovered, but made so comprehensive as to entirely overreach the result sought. Particularly is this true, declares the Senator, in the various emergency measures now béing recommended to Congress by the administration. In their zeal to protect our military secrets, Mr. Cummins believes the authorities to have far overstepped the mark and interfered “without reason in the ordinary life of the peaceful and patiotic citizens.

Bowen of Waskish was in town looking after some business for Frank Lyon, the Sage of the Tam- | arack. Mr. Lyon wants to make a trip back to his boyhood home in Corn- ing N. Y., to see his brother and sister and is going to have a public sale, on June 2 to sell off all the personal property that he has accum- ulated in the years that he has held the fort at the mouth of the Tam- arack. He has rented his hotel and is go- ing to have an opening on the day of the sale with a grand dance at night with the best music that Kel- liher can furnish. He has rented all the hay meadows, cultivated land and all the buildings but one so that he will be free to go and stay just as long as he pleases and ‘yet have a place to hang .up hat when he gets ready to come ba He says that it is very hard to get down .to brass tacks and let go of any of his land, realizing, as he did twenty years ago (August 10, 1897) when he took up his home- stead, that Waskish {s one of ‘those{ natural locations for a townsite (jusf the same as the city of Chicago at the head of Lake Michigan, only in a smaller way) being at the head of Red Lake and on g direct line be- tween Winnipeg and Duluth. He says that a railroad will come into this territory just as soon as there is some inducement for it to come, which will be when this vast area that Beltrami county has been ditch- ing begins to develop (which will be very soon if those big fires continue clearing the swamps as they have been doing the past few days) and when it does come the high land around Waskish will not be far away because they cannot cross very far east without getting into deep peat which does not make a good road bed. He says that he will not realize enough money:at the sale to do him so he is going to sell some 50 by 140-foot lots for $20, the selling of which he is going to turn over to H. L. Bowen to look after. The lots will not be sold at auction as the prices are fixed, but of course the first purchasers get the choice of lo- cation whether they are bought the day of the sale or before. —_— XXX KX KKK KX Hair dressing, manicuring, +* face massage, scalp treat- ment, switches made from combings.
