F irst-h a n d inform ation w as giv­
en the Outlook reg ard in g the con­
ditions in China by the Rev. E ric
H. W ahlstrom who has spent two
years as a m issionary in th a t coun­
try and who w as one of the 600
m ission w o rk ers to arriv e a week
ago in S eattle. T h ere w ere 60
L u th eran m issionaries in the party,
including the Rev. Mr. W ahlstrom .
Civil w ar has been going on in ­
te rm itte n tly for a long tim e in
China, said Mr. W ahlstrom . E ver
since the death of Yuan Shih-kai,
th e first p resid en t of China, th e
w ar-lords and g en erals have carved
out for them sleves sp h eres of in ­
fluence and fought w ith each other
for suprem acy.
D uring th e last
few years, how ever, a new p arty
has arisen under the leadership of
the late Dr. Sun Y at-sen, who call
them selves the N ationalist party
and claim to be now the real ru le rs
of China. L ast sum m er th e long
contem plated n o rth ern expedition
w as sta rte d and th e n atio n alist p a r­
ty set up a new governm ent in
W uchang.
The aim s of th is new govern­
m ent are the abolition of unequal
trea tie s, th e abolition of ex tra te r ­
rito riality , th e re tu rn of the con­
cessions, and the placing of fo r­
eigners residing in C hina u nder th e
law s of the C hinese governm ent.
These aim s a re adhered to by all
factions of th e N ationalists and are
becoming th e slogan of all paries
in China.
In regard to th e m ethods of a t­
tain in g these ends th e re is quite a
divergence of opinion. T he m od­
erates favor th e way of negotiation.
T his would envolve a long period
of tim e and would necessitate a
rebuilding of the Chinese political
and judicial institu tio n s. T his w as
th e w ay of Ja p an , w hose conces­
sions w ere retu rn ed by m utual
agreem ent in 1899. T he radicals, on
th e o ther hand, seem to favor an
im m ediate evacuation of all fo r­
eigners. using violence if other
m eans fail. They appeal to the
mob sp irit, try in g by strik es, agi­
tation. dem onstrations, boycotts,
and intim idation to drive the fo r­
eigners out. It was th a t elem ent
th at was responsible for th e N an­
king outrage. W hen th e mob is
once let loose, it is difficult to con­
tro l. Rebind th e rad ic als stands
Russia, w hose rep rese n tativ es are
the chief advisers to th e n a tio n a l­
ist governm ent.
The a ttitu d e of th e ord in ary Chi­
nese to th e m issionaries has u n ­
dergone a change d uring the last
few years. T he old a ttitu d e w as
one of fear based on ignorance.
The people have come to learn b et­
te r the purpose of the m issions.
T he m issionaries now re tu rn in g r e ­
p o rt th a t all th e ir C h ristian s and
the neighbors in g en eral w ere u n i­
form ly friendly. It is only in those
circles th a t have been influenced by
th e anti-fonrign anil an ti-C h ristian
agitation, em anating from Moscow,
th a t trouble has been started . They
believe th a t all the ills of China
are attrib u ta b le to th e presence of
the foreigner. P erh ap s th a t now,
w hen m ost of th e foreigners have
left, they m ay find out th a t th e re
are other th in g s w rong also.
As far as th e m ission w ork is
concerned it is still in existence
and is ca rry in g on the work. T here

Offending Drivers
Criticized by Many
(By Mrs. Mary E. W elch)
The su b ject of autom obiles as re ­
lates to G resham city b etterm en t
seem ed to be a topic th a t w as up­
perm ost in th e m inds of a good
m any in the recent census survey.
A utom obiles have long since been
tak en out of th e luxury class and
a re labeled as a necessity. Because
they a re n ecessary from a com m er­
cial stan d p o in t is no reason why a
h arm less p ed estrian should have to
tak e out a life in su ran ce policy
every tim e lie or she essays to cross
a street.
A resid en t in th e n ear business
d istrict who h as not lived in G resh ­
am long is am azed at th e reckless
driving on th e m ain th o ro u g h fares
of tills city. It is tru e th a t a m a­
jo rity of the offenders do not live
here. Imt ns long us officials and
ju stice co u rts exist, th e re is no rea
son why th ese speeding a rtis ts
should not he su m m arily dealt
w ith. On tile o th er hand, it is poor
policy to pick on visitors, lint a
w holesom e exam ple of some who
whiz up and down Main street,
jeopardizing lif e ’ an d limb, might
tend to cheek Hie speed fiend.

dents have occurred at th a t point
w here th e h a lt of Imt a m om ent
would have prevented them.
A nother suggestion given in th e
Outlook city b etterm en t cam paign
is th at of proper p ark in g re s tric ­
tions. if a d istin ct p ark in g o rd i­
nance could be drafteil and then
rigidly enforced, it would do m uch
to avoid congestion. Many com ­
m ents are h eard on th e larg e n um ­
ber of m achines in G resham in p ro ­
portion to the size of the tow ». As
activ ities in crease and th e b u sin ess
d istric t expands, th e need is
com ing a p p a re n t for p ark in g are as
w here traffic will not lie in terfered

P erh ap s it Is u n fo rtu n a te to let a

nothing can exceed the screeching

why a youth loves to get out on the

A bold au to theft was staged F ri­
day evening in G resham when the
Chevrolet landau belonging to C. M.
Q uicksall was stolen from in fro n t
of th e sto re of th e G resham D rug
com pany about 8:15 as Mr. Quick-
sail stepped Into the sto re for a
purchase. The m achine w as recov­
ered at 2 o'clock in the m orning by
D eputy Sheriff E arl S tanley n ear
Rockwood on th e B ase Line road.
It Is reasonably ce rtain th a t
S tanley in te rru p te d th e prospects
of a continued joy ride as the lights
w ere burning in the stolen m achine
when he first approached, but by
the tim e he had turned his own m a­
chine around th e lights in the
Q uicksall ca r had been ex tin g ­
uished.
The m achine had ap p aren tly been
driven about 100 m iles and th ere
was m ore gas in the ta n k th a n
when it w as taken. No dam age w as
done to speak of although th e car
showed evidences of a hard drive,
red clay on th e floor and on
th e
tires,
indicating
th a t
it
had been some distance off the
h ard surfaced roads. T here are im ­
p o rtan t clues to w ork on as two
men were seen to en ter the m a­
chine and w ere seen la te r in the
evening on G resham streets.

Ever since the founding of the

been deprived of them . In th is
cheery atm o sphere they lose sight
of th e fact they a re in a “ hom e”,

those in m ore fo rtu n a te lines is
money well invested.
