Wars, Aggressions and Fears.
RELATIONS between Mexico and the United States
nro the opposite of cordiul. The underlying cause is
fear by Mexicans of American aggression. Morocco is a
theater of war. The cause is foreign invasion and effort
by the Moors to cast out the invaders. India seethes
with unrest. So docs Egypt. The cause is foreign dom
ination in each case. Hayti is uneasy and the Philippines
aro uuhnnnv. It is because their own peoples are domin
ated and ruled by an alien
war these days, or menace
nations and peoples, it is
aeirression or the fear 01 loreign aggression, belt deter
mination of peoples, that
at the end of the world war, is seemingly very lar away
China is the latest scene of anti-foreign manifestation
First reports from Shanghai, where tho manifestation
occurred, made it appear that there had been an nggros
sivo invasion of the foreign quarter as tho result of a
movement long planned and
m the background of bolshevik influence, yuite a dif
ferent "version of what happened has been cabled by
professors of the national university of Poking to tho
New York World. These professors doclaro:
1. Chinese workmen In Japanese-owned cotton fuctorie.1
In Shanghai and Tslngtao struck for higher wages.
2. In a demonstration which followed a striker was shot
and killed by a Japaneso guard.
8. Young Chinese students, boys and girls, paraded the
treots In protest.
4. They were armed with nothing more menacing than
pamphlets and hand-bills, but they crossed the line Into the
''International sotUement" and the foreign police or do rod
them to disperse.
6. They refused to dfsperse. A British police Inspector
ordered firing. Six boys were killed and forty wounded.
6. The student protest was repeated. Firing went on inter
mittently for six days. The number -of, casualties Is still
unascertalnable. But It Includes no British guard or no other
foreigner.
Subsequent information developed that the casualties
in that first clash were 77 Chinese dead and 300 Chinese
wounded. Tho World points out that the Chineso control
no cables and that tho source of news from any Chinese
center is inevitably the foreign quarter. Under tho cir
cumstances the statement of the professors of the nation
al university is at least worthy of consideration.
The foreign quarter in Shanghai, as in other principal
Chineso cities, is an area of a dozen square miles in the
choicest section. There the foreign nations fly N their
own flags, do their own policing and conduct thoir own
government. It is not unnatural that Chinese students
regard such a situation with apprehension and resent
ment. Thoy feel that China, ought to bo for tho Chinese.
They fear and resent foreign domination, just as the
peoples of Mexico, and India and Egypt and Morocco
and Hayti and tho Philippines nnd others that aro weak
fear and resent it. Who shall blnmo thomf
A writer for tho Los Angeles Times who has been
touring tho territory of tho Southern Pacifio company's
now railroad development in Mexico remarks that when
tho Southern Pacifio lino now in courso of construction
down tho west coast is completed, the longest Pullman
ride over one company's lines on t.ho American continent
will be possible over it. Tho route will bo from Port
land to Mexico City, somewhat more, than 3000 miles,
or a littlo longer 1 linn the rido now possible over the
same company's linns from Portland to Now Orleans.
Tho routo lattor named is devious, but tho rido from
Portland to Moxioo City will bo as direct a lino south
as wator and mountains permit. Tho Southern Pacific
company is spending $15,000,000 in tho development of
its railroad system in Mexico.
Nothing small about Medford. A fleet of GOO auto

might well daunt a larger city, but Medford will carry
it through.

any other governmental activity.
We shall watch with considerable
Interest for an iucome tax law that

ble with all other taxation ia that it is
cot just and equitable. If other taxa

hotild bear very little about an in

An Ideal Death
(Medford Mall-Tribune)
The sudden deuth of Julius Krutt
auhnitt, probably the foremost rail

tion, calls attention to the astonish
ing number of heart fatnlities the past

A few days ago former Vicc-Pres-deut
Mainhtill dropped off suddenly
only a few weeks after General Miles,
John Singer Sargent a few weeks be
fore, was a victim of the same ail
ment, and only three days ago War
ren 8. Stone, famous railroad labor
leader, suddenly died from heart at
tack. Perhaps Ihe medical frnternity can
find some eaute for this apparent
epidemic, but what we aro interested
In is the desirability of such uu earth
ly departure.
To suddenly drop off, without pro
tracted illitesH, without suffering or
pain, and after a life of usefulness, is
certainly the ideal way to go.
The Strength of Mr. Bryan's Caso
(New YOrk World) '
The strougets argument on Mr.
Bryan's side in the Tennessee case
runs as follows:
Somebody must have the final say
about what shall be taught In the pub
lic schools. Obviously this question
ennnot bo left to the judgment of each
individual teacher. Tor somebody
would stilt have to choose the teach
ers, determine their tiniilificiithilis.
de cide what subjects shall be included
it, the curriculum and how much time
shall be allowed to each. There must
be in the last annlysis some final edu
cational authority.
With this much of Mr. Bryan's po
itiin I here can lie no serious quar
rel. But Mr. Itr.van then goes on to
tnuc i hut, miik'c there must be some
final authority in public education,
that finnt authority must be u major
ity of the legislature, representing ul- j
ti unit ely a majority of the voters. If
th! majority in Fundamentalist ft ha
every riht, says Mr. Itrynn, to make (
public school leaching conform to
Fundamentalism. Presumably, he
would say that if that majority were
.Mormon It would have the right to
make teaching conform to Mormoti
ism; if U wero Catholic, to conform
to tho teachings of t he Cat holic
church. He has thus rained mpmely
the question: Shall a majority of tho
voters of a state have an undisputed
right to determine the character of
education in the public schools?

TARIFF REDUCTION TALKED ABOUT
Powerful Interests Said to be Preparing to Initiate Move For
Revision
By CHARLES P. STEWART
(NEA Service Writer)
WASHINGTON, June 18, A big
tariff fight looms in the offing.
Present customs rates are a lot too
high, in the opinion of some mighty
powerful "interests."
These "interests" are not the kini
to sit still and make the best of whit
they don't like. Desiring tariff revis
ion downward, they mean to try for it.
Every indication is that they will,
do this at the next session of con
gress. The protected "interests," on the
other hand, will put up a scrap to
prevent it that will make tbc welkin
ring to beat all records. In fact, It
may be THE big muss in Washington
next winter.
Considering how overwhelmingly
the party of protection won the last
election, all this may seem queer.
Yet, stopping to think about it, one
recalls that thero liavebeen hints for
quite a while of something simmerinj.
For instance, when the cotton
apinncrs, in convention here a few
weeks ago, suggested a higher tariff
wall, why did President Coolidge shut
them up with that Aesop story? of
tho dog who, crossing a bridge with
n bone in his mouth, Bay his reflec
tion in the water, mistook It for an
other dog, grabbed at the tatter's bow;
and lost big own overboard in doing
Then along came "The Magazine of
Wall Ptreet'1 with the prediction that
"within .18 months wo shall be in the
throes of the most sweeping general
revision of tho tariff wo have evir
known." ,
And now we have (ieorgo B. Lock
wood's "Notional Republic," which
speaks for old-line republicanism if
any publication does, calling for "a
thorough campaign of education" to
I prevent such of '"national disaster,"
The revision movement's inspira
tion is America s group of big bunk
ersthe ones with huge foreign In
vestments, notably wnr loans.
"Within a year according to "The
! Magazine of Wall street." "the con

bankers and against the manufactur
ers." The outcome remains to be seen, of
course, but one thing' certain, the
"interests" referred to by the Wall
street publication aren's to- be sneea
ed at. i
If they've sot their hearts on tariff
reduction, though they may not get
it, the ultra- protectionists will know;
they've been in a first-class row by
the time It's ended.
The bankers idea is easy enough
to understand. When President Hard
ing took office and the republicans
had everything their own way, as tra
ditional protectionists their first act
was to put the tariff 'way up.
There was some talk at the time
to tbe effect that this was going to I
make it hard for Europe to pay her
debts to America she hadn't the
money and the tariff wall woujd pro
vent her from paying in goods,
i Still, the manufacturers wanted it,
the farmers thought they did and the
bankers evidently resolved to give
it a trial, without kicking much.
Now, however, clearly they've made
up their minds that it's failed.
They've received practlcolly no in
terest, to say nothing of principal,
from any -of their old world debtors
except England, and lately oven the
British havo begun intimating thn
thoy can't keep it up indefinitely on
the present basis.
The tariff, while tremendously im
portant, generally is a dry, tiresome,
technical subject, but there ought to
he some real thrills in a battle over
it, with "high finance" one one sid.
as challenger, and "big business," in
the role of titlcholder, ou the other.

70ULD it not bo startling if, in
tho present troubles in China,
which threaten to involve Russia and
Japan. American sympathy should be

Sow with Japan powerful, and nor
mal in government and institutions.
while Russia is regarded as an inter
national outlaw, ut economic war with
the world, there is only race prejudice
and business rivulry to keep Kuropean
end American sympathy from Japan.
Of course the real side to take is
that of China.
Whatever the temporary govern
mental helplessness of the Chinese,
tucir permanent interests are ours.
Ther? must be no domination of
China by any one outside power, and
if necessity should compel a tempo
rary guardianship by all the powers,
it would be tolerable only in the hope
that they would jealously watch each
o titer.
All the Chinese people themselves
auk of any government, native or for
eign, is that it let them alone. A gov
ernment just Btrong enough to do that
and to make everybody else do it, is
id al for China.
At any rate, China must be neither
the tool of Japan nor the victim ot
Itunia.

to taking his leave for prison. It is

''Prisoner," began the Magistraie
severely, "it completely pusses my

the audacity of break into this man's
