A WONDERFUL RIDE
If we had another million, which of course we will
have if we stay in ths newspaper business, we would
give a hundred thousand to start that road from Seattle
to Fairbanks. What a wonderful ride that would make!
And how friendly we would become with the Canadians
and if we kept on going down to Nicaragua we might
be able to hand the poor, old Nicaraguans a drink of
Scotch instead of a slug of Marine lead.
The coming of the spring sun brings back the old
truth. If man will assist Nature she will do many things.
A spade of earth turned in Alaska is worth two in the
States.
A teacher of Oakland, Calif., recently declared
that “if you will teach a boy to blow a horn he will
not be so apt to blow a safe.” That is a terse state
ment in behalf of the refining influence of music and
is worth thinking about. If crime could be reduced
thereby, we might even tolerate a wider employment
of the saxophone.
Correct this sentence: “The United States Senate
is the most august deliberate body in the world.”
CHINESE
AMERICAN HERO
About the last place to find a potential American
war hero would be in New York's Chinatown, but one
came out of there, just the same.
His name is Sing Kee and in recognition of his
fine record, as well as his attainments as interpreter
he later became a valued and trusted member of the U. S.
Immigration Service.
There were many young Chinese in the American
Army in France, and most of them made excellent re
cords, but Sing Kee has the honor of being the only one
to win the Distinguished Service Cross for heroism in
battle.
Since Kee was a member of the 366th Infantry, 77th
Division and was promoted to be color sergeant of his
regiment and as such he proudly carried the American
flag up Fifth Avenue in the division’s demobilization
parade.
He has demonstrated that a Chinaman may adopt
himself to other duties than those of laundryman and
chop suey dispensers.
President Hoover is an honorary Boy Scout. His
daily good turn might be well directed toward turn
ing a useless official out.
A sequel to the late former Vice-President Mar
shall’s famous remark about the country needing a
five-cent cigar is being told. After making the state
ment so often quoted, Mr. Marshall was deluged with
cheap cigars from numerous manufacturers, but in
stead of smoking them he gave them to Tom Neil, a
negro attache to his office, who smoked them all. And
died.
THEY SAY IT CANT BE DONE
Imaginary conversation between two desert rats in
an imaginary saloon in Nevada:
“What! You say that Babcock and Downey took
out 25 pounds of gold with their little old mill at Nuka
Bay?”
"Yes, and half their values went over the dump.”
“Oh well, your drunk. That can't be done any more.
Let's have another drink.”
Down in the South Seas, they say, the boys and
girls go absolutely naked. Tish! Tish! Isn't that terrible ?
Let's get Congress or the W. C. T. U. to fix that up.
