THE OPEN DOOR AND AMERICAN BUSINESS.
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.

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."

EXTRAORDINARY OFF

ER
To the People of Roseburg and Douglas County:
We are Overstocked. We have been buying heavily and now find ourselves with more merchandise than cash. The buying this year has not come up to our
expectations, and the result is unless we cash a large quantity of the goods on hand, and do it quickly, we will not be able to satisfy our creditors.
We have therefore decided to place this entire stock on sale at prices never heard of befr re at this time of the year. NOTHING WILL BE RESERVED
Do not miss this opportunity as practically every article will go at less than wholesale cost.
