State and County Newspaper) Ses Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER Qncorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON ——— The Lenten Season Many Christians today began ob- Bervance of the Lenten season as a preparation for the festivities of Easter and, curiously enough, it marks the advent of spring in the religious year. ‘The name itself, according to En- cyclopedia Brittanica, was taken from many words in many languages all of which mean spring and is giv- en to the season because it comes in the spring of the year. Historically it is one of the oldest of Christian observances and, from many non-religious standpoints, it is one of the finest. The religious sig- nificance of the observance lies in its similarity to the fast of 40 days and 40 nights endured by Jesus Christ, but the present-day interpre- tation also is that of mortification and self-denial in preparation for the weason of joy and feasting. If stripped of all its religious char- acteristics, Lent probably is a good thing for many of us. It emphasizes the importance of the spiritual over the physical, the smallness and un- importance of every mortal man and the fealty which we should pay to the Creator. It has a humbling ef- fect upon those who observe it and it makes each one think of his own sins, weaknesses and imperfections. Certainly this is not a bad thing for any of us. Some pseudo-historians would in- fer that Lent is a development from the circumstances under which pre- historic man lived and is a carryover from remote times. This, however, seems to be disputed by the facts, since the first observance of Lent ap- parently dates from the Council of Nice in 325. Those who advocate the “natural” theory point out that our ancestors had no way of preserving food and that, along in the late winter or question is occupied by the “Chinese Republic News Publishing company.” The booklet says that the memorial, outlining Japan's aims and situation, was presented to the emperor on July 25, 1927, by the then premier. Al- though it appears as a propaganda document, it contains some state- ments which bear the blush of truth in the light of recent events and is interesting because it shows the plan which could be developed, whether or not the Japanese have it in mind. Despite the fact that it appears to be fiction, the “memorial” is easily credible. It outlines a system whereby Japan could establish “economic penetra- tion” in Manchuria and Mongolia, ‘could use Koreans to buy up land and establish industries and could, eventually, control the country and annex it to Japan proper. Frequent reference is made to the use of re- tird military officers as advisers to Chinese princes and local rulers and to the need of Japan for increased food supplies which this area could furnish. Of special interest readers is this passage: “For the sake of self-protection as well as the protection of oth- ers, Japan cannot remove the difficulties in Eastern Asia un- less she adopts a policy of blood and iron. But in carrying out this policy we have to face the United States which has been turned against us by China's pol- icy of fighting poison with poison. In the future, if we want to con- trol China, we must first crush the United States, just as in the past we had to fight in the Russo-Japanese war. But in or- der to conquer China we must first conquer Manchuria and Mongolia. In order to conquer the world we must first conquer China. If we succeed in con- quering China the rest of the Asiatic countries and the South Sea countries will fear us and surrender to us. Then the world will realize that Eastern Asia is ours and will not dare to vio- late our rights. This is the plan left to us by Emperor Meiji, the success of which is essential to otr national existence.” The American reader may take his choice, but there is some significance in the fact that these far-away peo- ples have begun in this country the spread of propaganda regarding their respective positions. to American From Dry to Wet Senator James J. Davis of Penn- syivania, formerly a dry, is going to run for re-election as a wet; that is, his platform urges modification of the Volstead Act and calls for a referendum on the Eighteenth amendment. The various wet and dry leaders can be left to argue about the sig- nificance of this conversion; mean- while, the general question of states- men who change their convictions overnight deserves a little consider- ation. It is perfectly plausible, of course, to argue that a statesman ought to be a mouthpiece for his constituents, and that he is obligated to adopt new Policies if he is convinced that the majority of his constituents wants him to. But there used to be a theory that a statesman should be a leader; that he should tell the voters, “This is my stand, and if you don’t like it you can elect someone else.” That theory, of course, calls on a man to put principle above success at the polls; and that, perhaps, is a little too much to expect. early spring, it was a common thing, for ancient tribes to go on short ra- tions because of the scarcity of food. In due time, in order to maintain peace and order among the people faced with this situation and to pre- serve the power of the ruling author- ities, a religious quality was injected into the observance. ‘This would seem to be seriously in + error, however, because commentar- fes on the Lenten season fail to men- tion any similar observance among the ancients. It apparently is dis- tinetly a product of the Christian era, The Propaganda Stage American newspapers now are being Mlooded with propaganda regarding the situation in China. The war in the Far East has reached the prop- aganda stage. ‘This is only natural since the at- titude of the people of the United States will be important when peace comes again and new treaties are willing made. Both the Japanese and the Chinese realize that the will of the Heading the list is a letter from the Japanese Association in China, with headquarters at Shanghai, in ‘which notice is served that the asso- _ ciation is sending out “a clean state- Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors.

Hardest on Blind (Grand Forks Herald) One person in every thousand in the United States is blind and now feels the full force of the depression, says Helen Keller, the famous blind girl whose work and example have for years had a powerful influence for the protection of those with de- fective sight, in a recent speech in New York sponsored by the Better Vision Institute. “Those who have always worked in darkness should not be forgotten in these days when even the physically unhandicapped are having difficul- ties,” said Miss Keller. “Temporary misfortune, even though acute, should not cause us to neglect the people whose lives are spent in a courage- ous and uphill struggle to be useful citizens. I am told that there are six millions in this country who are to work but are unable through lack of it. Curiously enough, that is exactly the number of blind people throughout the world. I have great sympathy for both groups, but the greatest need for help and sym- pathy must always be with the latter group.” Miss Keller was stricken blind, deat and dumb in her early infancy, but in spite of her handicaps, she learned to speak, graduated from college, and has spent an active career in help- ing the blind and the failing of sight. Although she has never heard her own voice, she has spoken effectively , giving the findings of observers.” It is significant, | however, that the letter was not from Shanghai but from Na- before audiences throughout the United States. She has a reading knowledge of French, German, Latin and Greek, and is the author of sev- eral books.

York, Feb. 10.—Broadway For instance: The manner in which the role of a butler was played in a current stage comedy drew fine notices from the critics. Several spoke of the fitness of certain per- formers for modest bits, pointing out that seemingly insignificant parts can assume great importance. A check of the program showed the Particular actor to be one Russell Rhodes. Now for the chuckle: Just a few years ago it seemed that Russell Rhodes was headed for a splendid career in diplomatic circles. He had, in fact, reached the post of American vice consul in London. From this point of vantage he could observe fashionable as well as plebeian life. He had many occasions to study the better English butlers and flunkies, as well as their masters. The stage bug bit him. Today his diplomatic career is behind him. He is a stage butler. # * Or again—the name of Billy Minsky decorates the glaring lights in front of one of 42d street's racy palaces of burlesque.

It was a connota- tion supposed to have disappeared with such grand old-timers as Rose Syddell. And while dirges are sung for the “dying burlesque show,” an attractive young lady named Ann Corio goes about a wheel of 26 theaters on the Columbia circuit wearing her crown jauntily and well.
