CURRENCY MELTED IN CHIN
Chinese "Cash" Has Gone the Way ot
Many Other Forms of Money
in That Country.
With the end of the war comes thf
Mid. one may believe, of an odd spec
tncle sometimes seen In the neighbor
hood of Tsinnn, Tslngtau, and doubt
less of other Chinese cities the sight
of a Chinese coolie pushing a wheel
barrow loaded with coins on their waj
to be melted down for the met ad. Wat
conditions raised the prlca of bras
and copper to such an extent that It
wus found profitable to purchase coins
mid melt them, a practice which
brought Inconvenience, for It materially
reduced the circulating medium. Laws
were passed against It, but they seem
to have been more or less successfully
evaded, and wheelbarrows continued to
fca used In supplying the smelters.
Thus Is added another Incident In the
long history of Chinese "cash," which
begun 3,000 years und more ago with
the circulation of coins that bad the
shape of knives, still to be seen used
ns paper knives by foreigners in China
who hnve picked them up searching
for antiquities. Other shapes were in
Iroduced, and before iheChon dynasty,
about 000 B. C, the Chinese currency
was ax-shaped and spailo-shuped as
well ns knife-shaped. At that time
round coins with n hole In them, so
that tiiey might be held together with
u cord, were Introduced and found
much more convenient.

course, shown by the letteis'oi
Messrs. Larson and Stewart who
have both ably and honestly present
ed their grounds for oarr.esu coiisul
eration of the claims of their candi
date. In this connection 1 wish to say
that the people of Boardman r.jd
vicinity are rather largely from Mis
souri and ask to be shown. I have
talked with many men of open and
mpartial minds and they seem to
have no especial choice for president
and seem to remember Mr. Hoove
with painful remembrances of the dis
agreeable privations of war times,
some say he favored the rich, and
that he is in their class, viz: the mil
lionaire class.
I know but little of Mr. Hoover,
but I think his was a very difficult
task and one where most men would
fail, he has no doubt great ability in
certain directions and was the right
man for the piace. I believe him to
be a man of heart and conscience and
In his dealings far above' suspicion,
also very forceful and energetic, but
still not yet is it shown that he is
qualiWcd or equipped to fill the high
est office in our power to grant.
It seems to my humble judgment,
that as a presidential candidate he
would bo in a most vulnerable posi
tion and not as apt to wage a success
ful campaign as those who have been
in the arena for years and know the
game.
The great game of politics is still
requiring the same degree of finesse,
diplomacy, and experience as it ever
did and the novec in political matters
Is running with too heavy a handicap.
I would ask the same questions that
would occur to all and ask that ye i
be advised as to Mr. Hoover's atti
tude on the momentous questions of
the day. We cannot go for him
blindly.
We ask his adherants where he '
stands i n the tremendous issues now j
Oct ore us waiting and imperatively j
demanding a right solution. Wh-.1'. j
are his views on the League of . j
Hons. Railroad Question, Capital ami ;
Labor, Taxation, Mexican Affairs, j
Control of Corporations and fo on.
Of course he may be right in our
opinion, and these views may, yet furl
expression in some of his lutuie
speeches, but until we knoHr mot"
about these matters we withhold om
.judgment and reserve our decision.
While not antagonistic to Mr
Hoover, and hoping to see him com-'
up to the standard of presidential
candidate, still as a western man ana
i farmer, I frankly state my prefer
ence for a western man and of the
tar west at that. We should pick jt r
own man and stay by him as ions as
:t chance for his nomination is in
view. I say, with all the emphasis
of which I am capable, that we have
on tbiw coast men who are the peers
those in any other section of our
country.
We have able men iu our own ter
ritory whom we may well V,i i'Ud
to follow. Such a man is Senator
Itirnni Johnson of California. He M
my choice of all our presidential pos
sibilities and I will follow jU B'.anJ
ird as hing as It floats in the political
breeze, and will try to secure for hi:n
the support which he deserves in his
honest and fearless conduce ir public
matter and his relentless opposition

been handicapped in mind, body and
position, through service to their
country may receive that liberal con
sideration which we have reason to
expect from a grateful and patriotic
nation.
Second: Protection for our coun

truly democratic, a truly American

Third: Protection for our country
from its foes within. He concludes:
American citizens who have demon
strated their patriotism and loyalty
by willingness to make the supreme
sacrifice, we also realize that the
strength of the legion and the meas

citizens in the promotion of 100 per

The national body of the American
Legion is planning an Americaniza

1. Combat all anti-American ten
