The American people may look at this question of the open door in China as someth'.ig remote. Yet it affects the welfare of every tn&n, woman, and child in this country. The United States exported to China last year a great quan tity of merchandise valued at $119,1-1:1,000. That in itself is a large business. But the possibilities of Chinese trade are seen in the fact that we also exported to Japan last year the vast amount of $153,000,000 wort": of gooda. China has a population seven times as great as Japan. If China could be modernized to the same extent as Japan, it would amount to about $3,000,000,000. This would furnish a tide of prosperity for our farms and factories that would raise the average wage earner far above his present standard of comfort and welfare. Of course China is a slow moving country, and will not dur ing this generation achieve any such advance as Japan has now accomplished. But it is awaking fast. If its government could be given financial and educational assistance, if it could be helped to organize such efficient armies as to put down insurgent chief tains and establish the rule of an enlightened central government it would go ahead by leaps and bounds. The problem is now before the Washington conference, of such adjustments with Japan and the European nations as would give American business men an equal chance in promoting Chinese trade. The United States will not go to war to get trade. But it must insist that it can not look with approbation and friendliness on any power that fails to give our interests a fair opportunity in this great undeveloped field. Be wise and advertise. In private life people settle disputes by peaceful arbitration in courts of justice. A breach of faith is considered intolerable, and people co-operate to work for each other's welfare. But in international relations, the governments have engaged in a game of grab in which the spirit of co-oeration does not exist, they have frequently violated the most solemn pledges, and they settle their disputes by savage methods worthy of the 20th century be fore Christ, instead of the 20th century thereafter. What can be done to persuade the nations that good faith pays in public rela tions, as they are convinced it pays in private business? .One thing is to make it clear that a nation which commits a breach of faith will be ostracised from the circle of nations, and will suffer such a decline of prestige and reputation, that its losses will be more than its gains. In that way offending nations can be disci plined by other methods than by war. o . ' If the government plan for limitation of armament goes through, the treasury dogs will have to look out that the money saved by a naval holiday is not wasted by extravagant expendi tures in other directions. There is always a tendency, when the economists in either national or local government succeed in sav ing money, for the spenders to devise new ways of using it up. So it might be in this case. If the people are relieved from a part of the tremendous load now carried, by the Hughes plan of arma ment limitation, they want the money used in reducing the taxes. They do not want it blown in for costly projects. Useful as many of these ideas might be, the first and most essential proposition now is to get the taxes down to the point where business will not be hampered by them. o Just now there is considerable talk about a home-building campaign for this city. This would be a most excellent move. The home-owner is the best sort of citizen to help build up a com munity. He is a satisfied resident, and being satisfied makes him a very important cog in the wheels of progress in any city. Rose burg would make no mistake in giving every possible encourage ment to such a project. Infidelity Charge In Divorce Suit It's an awful condition to carry around a grouch 305 days in the year, but there are some men who seem to get away with it, or think they do, bringing misery to themselves during their en tire career on earth. Charging that her husband asso ciated with other women In Salem while Bhe waa quarantined wltb smallpox In Itoseburg, and that he refused to support her, Mrs. Ilallle B. Lynch filed suit for divorce In the varum county circuit court yester duy afternoon from Grover Cleveland Lynch. Mrs. Lynch states that when she recovered from her Illness, she went to Sulem with the consent of her husband who refused to accompany lier from Knseburg, and accused him or seeking the association of women friends in that city. The couple were married In Okla homa in 1905. Mrs. Lynch's illness took place in August and September of I his year. o NOTICE TO NOHTH KOHEIIUMJ WATER CONSUMERS.

Unusual Transcript Filed By Justice The dog-eared report of the track master. "Off again, on again, gone again Flnnesaii," has nothing on a transcript of the proceedings of a iustlce court in this county. Recent ly a justice or the peace had a case brought Into his court and a fine of $10 was assessed. The Justice mailed the check to the county treasurer to gether with the following transcript: "Now comes Moyd Smith, speed cop, bringing with him one Roy Ole con, this third day of November, 1921, accusing him of cutting cor ners and speeding his auto. The de fendant says It must be so If the cop says so. Court Imposed a fine of $10 and costs which the defendant paid." Send your rubber boots by parcel post to D. H.
