Sovereignty as Construed by Hughes.
The principal reason Republican
partisans have given for remaining
outside of the League of Nations is
that joining the League would work
a surrender of independence and a for-
feiture of sovereignty. Secretary of
State Hughes has dwelt upon that
thought in every speech he has made
and Senator Pepper goes into parox-
ysms of dread whenever the subject is
mentioned. England, France, Italy,
Japan and fifty other independent
nations have not shared that appre-
hension, but Mr. Hughes sees it in
every action of the League, and of
course Pepper, who has come to be an
echo of Hughes, is equally alarmed.
The other day President Coolidge
wrote a letter to the Navy League in
which he declared that “the leading
sea powers have made an agreement
with the United States under the
terms of which we are ‘entitled’ to
maintain a navy equal to that of the
other powers.” No doubt he had ref-
erence to the agreement made by the
Washington conference in which it
was provided that England and the
United States might have an equal
ratio in major war ships and Japan
in the ratio of five to three. There
was no great harm in that agreement
if it had been maintained. But Eng-
land and Japan plunged into building
minor ships until now the ratio is
broken and this country has the low-
est strength.
But John W. Davis wants to know
who or what country on earth or group
of countries had the right to say how
many major or minor ships the United
States may have. Yielding such au-
thority to England and Japan is cer-
tainly a greater surrender of sover-
eignty than the League of Nations
contemplated. In the League we
would have conformed with a condi-
tion to which all nations were sup-
porting, but in the agreement at
Washington we are submitting to a
condition forced upon us by England
and Japan. Secretary Hughes is sup-
posed to be the author of the Wash-
ington scheme. Why is he so incon-
sistent ?

a fee for Chautauqua lectures but ad-
mission charges reimbursed the pay-
ers and the enterprises were commer- |

IN THE LAND OF OPIUM.
Dr. North Tells How the Pernicious
Drug is Grown in China.
Chengtu, China, April 27, 1924.
Dear Home Folks:
A week ago yesterday I returned
from a most interesting trip out into
the country to the east of Chengtu.
Raymond Brewer, the district super-
intendent of schools—I think that is
his title—asked me to go with him to
visit the schools that are operated by
our church in that direction. We left
here on Wednesday morning, April
16th. The weather was not auspi-
cious. It had rained all night, and
was still threatening when we left at
seven o'clock. Our caravan consist-
ed of one sedan chair with its three
carriers, and two baggage loads, each
carried by one man. Our way led
along the city wall, past the East
Gate, along the east side of the city,
until at last we turned to the right
and soon found ourselves far out in
the country. In order to understand
travel in China you must forget that
there are such things as concrete,
asphalt, macadam, or even good dirt
roads. Chinese roads are generally
very narrow—sometimes too narrow
for two sedan chairs to pass comfort-
ably—and often nothing but paths
between the rice or wheat fields. We
found our road to be wider than the
usual run of roads, but otherwise the
worst of the worst. Often a Chinese
road has the redeeming features of
stone slabs for pavement, but we
found nothing but mud most of the
time during the first day. Occasion-
ally it sprinkled a little. We flounder-
ed about in the mud until we came to
a little market town. There I bought
some cord to tie my low shoes on, so
that the mud would not suck them off.
Things went a trifle better after that,
although the mud was far from com-
fortable.
One of the most striking features of
the first day’s travel was the wide-
spread growing of poppies. We had
not gone more than three or four
miles from the capital of the province
when we came upon acres of poppies
—and they are not blushing unseen,
either, for they were along the road-
side. No attempt had been made. to
conceal them. Even in New York
State or in New Jersey, I doubt
whether a bootlegger would dare to
operate his still along the auto roads
within four miles of Albany or Tren-
ton. These poppy fields are beauti-
ful. Although the season for the flow-
ers was far advanced when we were
out, we occasionally found fields in
full bloom. Most of the flowers were
white, although now and again we saw
beautiful red poppies streaked with
white, or deep royal purple blossoms.
On several occasions we came to far-
mers preparing to gather the opium.
This is done somewhat as follows:
First the seed bulb is slit in- several
places with a knife. After some time
has elapsed there gathers on the out-
side of the slit a gummy substance—
the juice of the plant. This is the
opium. It is scraped off the bulb and
collected in one place. The farther
we went the more poppies we saw, un-
til our last day and a half of travel.
For some reason the poppy fields grew
less frequent through the latter re-
gion. We began to wonder how our
military Governor, Yang Sen, could
make his proclamation against opium
smoking agree with this growing of
the poppy, but we learned later that
he had said that he came into power
too late to prevent the farmers from
planting the poppy, and that he could
not destroy the crop without causing
great hardship to the poor farmers
who depend upon each year’s crops for
their sustenance. He has, however, I
understand, promised to see that there
is no opium produced during the com-
ing year. I believe he is sincere in his
statement.
At last we reached the foot of the
mountain range that borders the
Chengtu plain on the south and east.
The scenery was beautiful. Here was
a field of wheat almost ready to be
harvested. From a distance it looked
like oats, for instead of having the
ich, golden yellow of our American
grain, it is light yellow in color. Just
beyond was a field of beans, and in
another place perhaps a field of peas,
both nearly reading for eating. Then
the rice fields, covered with water,
some of them being prepared for the
spring planting, for rice is not sown—
it is planted. ' I say it is not sown—
that is, not in the fields in which it is
allowed to ripen. It is sown thickly
in one field, the soil of which is of
about the consistency of a good mud
pie. Here it sprouts and grows until
it has reached a good size, when it is
transplanted to the larger fields. This
transplanting takes much time, and
perhaps would not be tolerated in
America, where time is money. In
China, land is money, rather than
time. The land can sometimes be util-
ized for another crop while the rice is
sprouting, so that the process of trans-
planting serves to give the farmer his
land for other purposes for some time.
We saw. a number of fields of rice that
had just sprouted, forming a lovely
green carpet, like a new-made lawn at
home. These rice fields we found on
the plain—not in the mountains, for
there they can not get sufficient water
for irrigating. The mountains of this
region remind one somewhat of those
tour, although they are higher than
many of the Pennsylvania mountains.
In one thing, however, they are quite
' different. They are almost barren of
the summit is fairly level and broad,
even that is under cultivation. To
by the rains, these fields are terraced,
of Pennsylvania in height and con-.
trees, and are cultivated in many |
places almost to the summit. In case
so that the general effect is that of a
layer cake. I am sorry I did not get a
good picture of them, for only from a
picture can you get a first class im-
pression of what they are like; but as
we ascended the winding road, we felt
a chilly northeast breeze sweep down
on us with a strong hint of rain. Be-
fore long we were in the midst of the
worst storm I have experienced in
China. We were all drenched. The
poor carriers were dressed for hot
summer weather, for that is what we
had had just before leaving Chengtu.
They shivered. At last we reached a
little village nestled among the
heights which is reputed to be a nest
for robbers. It certainly was not very
inviting. But our men refused to go
further. We coaxed, urged, almost
demanded, but to no purpose. We ac-
cepted the inevitable and found a fair-
ly good shelter from the storm in a
tea shop. We had gone only seventy
li, when it had been our purpose to
go one hundred. (Remember that a
li is about one-third of a mile). We
changed our clothing, bought two bun-
dles of wood, built a fire in the mid-
dle of the mud floor, and proceeded to
dry out. Our men all gathered around
and did likewise, except that they had
no change of clothing. The . wind
howled all night. The rain fell in tor-
rents, but we were at least dry, if not
altogether warm, for the temperature
had taken a great drop from the 85
F. we had been having at home.
Next morning we were off shortly
after five o’clock. The rain was not
entirely over when we left our shel-
ter, but it soon ceased, and as we crept
over the summit the wind began to
break the solid ranks of the clouds.
By the time we reached the little vil-
lage of Wu Fung Chi at the foot of
the last decent, the sun was shining
brightly and we were warm and hap-
py, even though we had had no break-
fast and had walked ten miles. Here
we came to the first school which Mr.
Brewer wished to visit. It is situa-
ted in a temple built by natives of
Kiangsi, one of the southeastern prov-
inces of China, who had settled in this
town. Right here it may not be amiss
to say that most of the peoplé in Sze-
chwaan are not natives any more than
we Americans are natives. That is
to say, several centuries ago a mili-
tary leader came into this province
and destroyed most of the population.
The country was colonized thereafter
by natives of various provinces. I am
told that even today it is possible to
go into some of these towns and find
the people talking in Mandarin
(the language generally spoken in
Szechwaan), and Cantonese (the lan-
guage spoken in Canton and surround-
ing country). The village had been
: settled by Cantonese folk who have
i handed down their language. In the
little town where we stopped the first
night a well dressed young fellow
came into the tea shop and proceeded
to talk to us. He finally said, affen
he had held a rather extended conver-
'sation with Brewer, “You can’t un-
' derstand what I say, for I speak Can-
'tonese.” He evidently held the Can-
, tonese tradition, even if he had lost
- the speech. He looked as if he might
have been king of the bandits. But to
‘ come back to my story: We, reached
the school only to find that the prin-
‘cipal and pastor—two in one—was
away to see his sick mother. The
school was being run by a young girl,
| who appeared hardly old enough to
, have completed the eighth grade. She
“was bright and competent, apparently,
for she held sway like a queen. Inthe
rear of the temple was the W. F. M.
S. girls’ school. In front was the
' boys’ school over which this product
‘of our W. F. M. S. schools had charge.
| We looked the "place over, noting the
i attempt to camouflage the pagan at-
. tributes. The large idol was hidden
by a bamboo screen. Christian piec-
tures adorned the walls. The court
was planted to vegetables. The place |
was a real Eden. A fine Chinese
breakfast was prepared for us, and by
ten o’clock we were on our way again.

| Don’t Hunt for Lead or Zinc in
Centre County.
Occasionally we hear of the fruit-
less toil and waste of money of some
misguided individual who becomes ob-
sessed with the idea that nature has
something concealed under the soil of
Centre county that geological research
proves can not be there in paying
quantities.
Writing of the lead and zinc ores of
Pennsylvania B. LeRoy Miller, profes-
sor of geology at Lehigh University,
explains the probable hopelessness of
ever finding, in Centre county, either
lead or zine in quantity to make search
for them worth-while. He says, in a
recent pamphlet published by the De-
partment of Forests and Waters:
In 1915 an exploration tunnel was
driven into the hill just north of Belle-
fonte in search of lead and zinc ores.
Some fair specimens of galena and
sphalerite filling small crevices in the
Tuscarora (formerly known as the
Medina) sandstone were found but not
in paying quantities.
In the same horizon in the Shawan-
nk Mountains of southeastern New
ork, only a few miles from Port Jar-
vis and the Pennsylvania line, several
lead and zinc mines were worked be-
tween 1820 and 1870 and have been
prospected several times since. “The
ores occur in fissures,
of the grit.” One of the mines is said
to have yielded 10,000 tons of ore be-
tween 1863 and 1870.
It seems unlikely that any deposits

EMERICK.—George H. Emerick,
for a number of years a well known
implement dealer of Centre Hall, died
very suddenly and unexpectedly at his
home in that place about 6:30 o’clock
last Saturday evening. Although af-
flicted with kidney trouble for a num-
ber of years he was able to be around
and attend to his business affairs with
much of his old time vigor and on
Saturday afternoon motored over the
mountain to Pleasant Gap and back
home. . After eating a hearty supper
he sat down in a chair, put his feet up
on another chair and reclined for a
comfortable hour but within a few
minutes he was seized with a heart at-
tack and expired almost instantly.
He was a son of William and Mary
Emerick and was born on a farm in
Potter township on May 20th, 1856,
hence was 68 years, 5 months and 5
days old. His boyhood life was spent
on the farm and in attending the pub-
lic schools and following his marriage
to Miss Emma Harper, they settled on

enty-five years ago. Most of his life
was spent in that vicinity, he having
followed farming until his retirement
a few years ago.
His wife, who prior to her mar-
riage was Miss Julia Coxey, died in
1891, but surviving him are the fol-

County hospital on Friday of last
week as the result of tubercular peri-
tonitis. Employed as a stenographer
at State College she became ill about
six weeks ago and ten days before her
death was brought to the hospital and
underwent an operation as a possible
means of saving her life but the dis-
ease was too far advanced.
A daughter of William E. and Sa-
rah Kern Cole, she was born on May
1st, 1897, hence was 27 years, b
