A LENTEN MEDITATION -
. By the Rev. Charles StelzU
God leads through His Son.
. Jesus has become the Immortal Leader of the race.
The rulers of the world built their kingdoms upon force and lost.
Jesus alone founded His empire upon lire and won.
It was the revelation of the nature of God in the personality of
Jesus which gare Jesus power over the hearts of men.
It was God ln Him that won the world. , , ,

in the girls school at first, with
about 200 pupils. Later in both

Because the bonds sold to buy the property for the city
would be no burden. The income from the operation of the

Salem; and for every new comer who arrives and settles here.
!, No city ofi any size has any business with its water works
in the hands of a private concern, any more than its sewer
system. The people of Salem would not be content for long
to pay tribute to a private concern, when the city can profit
and benefit in many ways in municipal ownership.
" The writer believes city ownership will be voted at the
June election, if ! the iiiatter is put in the right way on the
ballot. Believes there will not be many votes against the
proposition, j The .city should have bought the -water works
when the proposition was voted favorably before. The veto
of the then fmayor defeated this consummation. It was a
great mistake . - . .-
;? And it has been a mistake every day since to leave the
matter in abeyance. T

day there is progress. Every day. the' output is increased.!

within a very short time there will be quite a volume

month thereafter. There will be two shifts before long,
especially in the spinning department. The acre and a quarter
of machinery out there looks good. Will look better and
better, day after day.
at Klangyin. The people ' there
were fine the Chinese people.
Miss Conover has a great deal to
say in praise of them. The com
ing away of the. , American mis
sion workers there was in response
to the American consul, la the
latter pan of January. Miss Con
over arrived in Shanghai on Jan.
31. ' Her stay there was not pleas
ant, owing to the crowded condi
tlou of the international settle
ment, through the flocking in of
refugees. Just before she left that
city the Cantonese forces marched
in and took possession. Then pan
demonium broke loose. The peo
ple of the native city fired off bil
lions of firecrackers, in . celebra
tion ot the victory. She was near
the native city, and heard some
of the fighting, and heard of many
of the outrages, such as the cut
ting off of the heads of about 100
supposed sympathizers with the
northern armies, and the display
ing of the beads in prominent
places. This series of bloody inci
dents came very close to Miss Co
nover. Some of her former pu
pils lost their lives and others
barely escaped death at the behest
of the mob spirit.
Xot a Hoprful V.Vw
Miss Conover does not like to
talk politics; especially Chinese
politics. She is not hopeful con
cerning the immediate outlook.
She thinks the break with Russia
may save China. That is the most
hopeful thing of late, she thinks-
She thinks the Red Russian prop
aganda is a terrible thing; very
menacing for the peace of China.
It inflames the Chinese with the
spirit of bolshevism; makes the
Orientals see red; makes them
think of loot; of the taking pos
session of the property of other
people. Of driving out the for
eigners and stealing their property
and then living without work.
There is no fathoming the Ori
ental political mind. Miss Conover
said. Some of the soldiers of the
different armies wear two uni
forms, fer quick change from one
side to the other. General Chiang
Kai Shek, commander in chief of
the Cantonese or southern forces;
the army of the Kuomintang, or
people's party, gave orders to stop
looting and killing of foreigners.
Over night, he was shorn ot his
political power, though he still
has military authority. No one
knows when or how or why these
changes are made in China. It
is just done; just happens. It is
a part of the Oriental mysticism,
not understood by we Occidentals.
A man is a popular idol, as Mar-

shal Chiang was, and the next day
he baa lost , face. It is like the
Palm Sunday of old in Jerusalem,
and the Golgotha of Friday. That
is the Oriental mind.
Miss Conorer hopes for the best
in the national struggle or China.
She loves China for her virtues,
but is fearful for her future on
account of her vices and her mass
icnoranre and red Hussion leader
ship. She knows Marshal Feng, the
Chinese Christian general, who is
as much misunderstood by his own
people of China as by the aver
age foreigner. She thinks he is
a great and good man. But she
tears the other Chinese leaders,
drunk with victory, will not listen
to his wise counsels.
' Homeward Bound
Misp Conover left Shanghai on
March 26. In 16 days she was in
Seattle. A very quick trip. She
came on the President Cleveland
of the Dollar line. America and
the American flag looked. good to
her. She had. in Shanghai, seen
the. sudden displaying, of the
Kuomintang flag after the Can
tonese victory there. The new
flag was everywhere in evidence
in a twinkling of an eye. The
Stars and Stripes looked good to
Miss Conover.
Is Miss Conover going back t
China.? She arranged with a group
of friends in Shanghai to go back
next fall. But who can say? It
may be years, maybe never. She
is fearful for China's future. She
wishes that every foreigner would
get out of China. She does not
think the United States should be
drawn in, to protect her nation
als; even the American mission
aries. The foreign soldiers make
the Chinese see red." There la
enough Rus&lan Red feeltng there
now. ;
Miss Conover grew up in Salem.
Her father was R. B. Conover,
publisher of the Town Talk here;
the paper that became later the
Capital Journal, after several
changes of ownership.
She is in very good health,
though travel worn ( as said above.
She will in a short' time he able
to see her friends.
She intimated that she might
have some things to say to the
people of her ielty. after a short
time. But her main feeling is one
of relief from a nightmare. And
she thinks Salem has grown very
fine and beautiful during her' ab
