<cncceasmcancemreroanin iw Newspaper Re- Kerprige Asan, and United A Tragedy—and a Lesson There is a lesson for everyone in the life of Harry Whitney Treat, whose tragic ‘The Seattle Star Be ments # monthe, $1.68 passing the whole city is mourning today. The lesson does not lie in his wealth; he was rich, but many men have been richer. It does not lie in his prominence; he was prominent, more prominent, It does not lie in his social position; all doors were open to him, but no more than to many other men, Rather the lesson lies in the easy grace with which he carried the favors that for- tune had showered upon him. He never seemed to think that, because he was richer, more prominent, than most of his fellow men, he was in any way BETTER. And that is why his death caused more real sorrow than the. passing of dozens of men who et be classed as “greater” than he. Babe Ruth and Success In a contest which The Star re- cently conducted, Billy Lane, by an overwhelming vote, was elected the most popular ball player in the Pacific Coast league, Billy doesn't even hit 300. Other men make far more sensational plays in the field than he. And nobody ever bid $100,000 for his services. ‘He's just a pleasant little chap who works all the time; tries his darndest whether he's winning or losing, and has a cheerful grin upon all occasions. All of which goes to show that you don’t have to be a Babe Rath to be a success. And that goes in the Game of Life as well as in baseball. Write the vision and) make it plain on tables, that he may run that readeth it.

Hughes Does It Again Once more Secretary of State Hughes has shown his ability to guide international conferences to @ successful conclusion, The dele- gates of Chili and Peru, assembled at Washington to settle the long- standing Tacna-Arica dispute, had quarrelied and were xbout to re- turn home when Mr. Hughes stepped into the breach and evolved a method of agreement. At Mr. Hughes’ suggestion, Presi- dent Harding will arbitrate the differences. The Peruvians and Chilians have signed their proto- col and there is no longer a cause for war between them. Having added South America to his Far Eastern success in diplo- macy, Mr. Hughes ought now to tern to the European turmoil. His prestige stands at its highest point. He has behind him the Yast impersonal power of the United States. America wants to gain nothing to Europe's disad- vantage. Mr. Hughes can speak to the Europeans as the delegate of humanity at large. sient laitneniQeeeesahat Our deeds are like children that Gre born to us; they live and act @part from us.

It iy @ Chinese organization, under stood to have af least 100,000,000 members, Its name, translated, is “The- Save-the-Nation-and-W cep Soctety.” This gigantic confederation en- forced the Chinese boycott against dapanese goods. It was China's way of making Japan leave her alone. Whenever a Chinese merchant placed dollars above patriotinm and persisted in selling Japanese wares, contrary to the boycott, a small mob of the secret soclety gathered at the shop door, fell on its knees and began wailing and moaning. You can imagine bow long « shopkeeper was able to withstand that kind of assault. “ee Japan is “getting out” of China, slowly but Inevitably. The boy. cott was successful. It made hard times in Japan, for China ix one of Japan's big customers. The peaceful boycott probably was more effective than would have been an army of several mil- lion troops. The day may comm when the trade boycott will take the place of armies, navies and flying squad- rons. A nation would think twice be- fore going on the warpath with a certainty that it would be pun- ished by economic Isolation. ee China Is “in a bed way” right now, committing the worst form of self-destruction—civil war. But before many years have passed, education and science and exploiting foreigners will make China a mighty world power. The Chinese are interesting now. They will become increasingly in- teresting as they flower again into a virile civilization. It will be interesting to watch the effect as the white man's ways come in contact with the peculiar and mysterious psychology of the Chinese. They write backwards and—to us—seem to do everything else the same way. But they have many ideas worth copying. Ultimately the white race and the yellow race will borrow ideas from each other and blend their philosophies. There is not one orain in the universe, either too much or too little; nothing ts to be added, noth- ing to be spared; not so much aa any one particle of it, that man- kind may not be either the better or the worse of it, according aa it 4s applied. —L’Estrange.

They were greedy and kept all the profits for themselves. Under the latest government plan for regulating the distribu. tien of the present diminished supply of coal and its price, Hoover can refuse empty coal cars to those operators who attempt to profiteer, This is = powerful club tn Hoover's hands. It should bring resuites. It has been demonstrated that the operators were making enor. mous profits at $3.50 a ton, Why shouldn't the “fair price” be even less than $3.50 « ton?
