THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM
AND SUN-TELEGRAM

AH rlffbta of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. China is Doing Its Part Those who have contributed to the relief of the starving peopleof China may wonder if the inhabitants of 1 that country i are helping the famine-stricken districts. . ; f "To fKe credTTof "the'Chinese, it may be recorded that never have the people of that coun
try ? exerted themselves more zealously to meet 4
the dire effects of a calamity than they are doing now. An Associated Press dispatch from Peking tells of .the munificent gifts which rich merchants and officials, students and civil employes have made to alleviate the suffering of their f elfow; countrymen President Hsu Shih-Chang has given " $130,000 for" national relief. Chinese . bank bve floaty a loan of $4,000,000. Shanghai j;roejxha1rrtsise nearly $3,000,000. One rich merchant ,gave $1 ,000,000 and the Sheng family, of Shanghai donated $500,000. I ' Besides these gifts, the dispatch enumerates many , examples of ; sacrifice which persons in humble circumstances i of life are making. Young girls' are. denying themselves food in order that the; surplus ' may. benefit the starving. Chinese students are maMng'denials. Ground in the fertile; proviriices ! that formerly was devoted to the cultivation qf flowers is now planted to vegetables . ani fton - I j j ,ee reports will convince American donors that they have participated in a worthy cause. Chiria is notIopkirig to other countries to feed her starving miliions, but is doing her part valiantly and is making a great sacrifice for the cause of her own people. Investigators who have
traveled in the stricken districts say that conditions in China are far worse than those that prevailed in some European countries after the war had left its marks of pestilence, privation and starvation. The great heart of America responded to the
call of affliction. It is re-assuring to learn that
China did not ask for aid until she had exhausted her own resources. America respects honorable dealings, and is glad to know that China herself is breaking all records in answering the cry of her starving millions.
When a FelW Needs a Friend
Answering Foreign Propaganda "The American Legion mass . meeting at Madison Square garden was a complete answer to Von Mach, Viereck, and their crews," says the Weekly Review. "It was no doubt a wise plan to confront disloyalty directly with its opposite, for by this experience imagination at dark designs was transformed into something positive: It emerged as an exalted passion for country, and patriotism is a wholesome catharsis when reinforced by the conviction that one's country stands squarely .for truth and right. The pity is that such a meeting should have been necessary so soon after our tremendous experience in the
war. For though it is to be expected that)
America, with her diverse population, will continue to take sides on world issues, even when an issue appears to have but one worthy side, it was not expected that Von Mach would thus early reappear with his pack of lies. It is the tradition of America to react with moral directness to world situations involving the issue of humanity- May she long continue to do so, even if groups of her population mistakenly place their sympathies. The distressing thing today (and we must lay it in some measure at the door of "that policy of neutrality in thought which tended to make a brutal cause half respectable) is that Von Mach, who should long ago have been wholly discredited, is still able to command a hearing. Lying propaganda must not be allowed in this country to do duty for earnest, is mistaken, discussion.
Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton
5 We are to be thankful that finally there la a well fteapetmoyement afoot to furnish" homes for 'foreign representatives. After the government gives the ambassador $17,500 a year, he can attend to all the details himself. He can live where, when and how he pleases and, ' after he has spent $100,000 a year entertaining raaharajas, punjabs, viceroys and bill collectors, he can keep all the change from the $17,500 against old age and disability. It i3 really an ideal arrangement so far as the government is concerned, hut it keeps the ambassador busier than a one-arraed billposter In a high wind. Ambasstag for this country is a strenuous job. Other countries furnish their ambassadors with homes, but ordinarily when you want to find the American ambassador you are directed to ?. hall bedroom, and the ambass gets up and lets you have the chair while, he sits on the window sill or the gas, stove during the interview Some of them have beds which look like davenports when folded up for day use, but these are the rich ones. The government evidently believes that any healthy American like an ambaasador should be ? tie to live out of doors like our first Americans, the Indians, did We firmly believe that Mr. Harding's eyebrows offer the cartoonists the greatest cinch they have known since Mr. Taft'B waistline. Unele Ab-sSiys it's all right to be a pessimist about' yourself, if you will
only b an optimist about yourj
neighbors. ' ' i ' " Now that Bill ' Farnum. the movie star, has gone abroad,- the only real heavyweight rassler left in this couu try is Strangler Lewis. The London "Daily Mail" Informs us that the recent war has caused a revolution in the naming cf babies over there. It cites Haig Jones, Beatty Smith, Ypres Robinson and Dardanella Davis. But personally we shall never be satisfied until this thing is worked out to its ultimate conclusion and somebody gives' to the world a Cootie Collins.
Are Women Given a Fair Chance?
The recent statement of Mrs. Helen Gardener, woman member of the United Slates civil service commission, thai women are not barred from high government posts because of their sex has been vigorously contested by Miss Elsie Hill, chairman of the National Woman's party. "It is natural that Mrs. Gardener should have the point of view of the civil service commission," Miss Hill recently declared, "but if the implicav. inn nf her stntpmpnt that there is no discrimination against
Hk women in the government departments is true, why did the lv-.5fe&t Association of Federal Employes seek to secure the pas-
conditions? "The instances of discrimination against women are numerous and widely known. Specific cases have been cited and recited, in hearings before congress and in the press. Perhaps the most typical case is that of the woman who, after many years of service in the department, finds her superior removed, but instead of being promoted to his position, is compelled to painfully instruct a new superior, while she herself continues in a subordinate position, at a low salary. "As to examinations, women inside the government say
that they have learned the futility of taking the examinations, because even though they pass and are certified to
the new better-paid positions, they find men preferred in advancement to
the higher grades. "As for women outside the service they have taken the special examinations for the better positions in the past repeatedly, but have seen the appointments given to men time after time. This well known experience has discouraged women from further effort, whether the examination is announced as open to women or not. "One bureau chief recently was indiscreet enough to tell a clerk that the policy of his bureau was against paying women higher salaries than they were receiving. Generally this policy is known but not admitted. , "We find just now that meetings are being held by women in civil service to consider ways and means to correct a situation that they say is intolerable to self-respecting women."

SMITH POINTS OUT GUARD UNIT BENEFITS Adjutant General Smith, in a letter to Clarence Gennett, expressed the hope that Richmond will organize a company of the national guard by April 15, the date on which the enlistment period closes. "Richmond should be one of the best cities in the state for the organization of the national guard because it brings to the city advertising and at the same time would add an income of about $5,000 per year to the city and without any investment whatever," says Mr. Smith. "The training of the young men would make tbem better citizens in every way, and they would be better both physically and mentally for the training which they would receive from the organization." The formation of the company here will be held open until April 15, "and if the business men and civic societies do not put the organization across by that time your city will not be considered in the location of a unit of the Indiana national guard.

Answers to Questions
E. R. C. Who are the Zapotecs of
Mexico and what about them? The Zapotecs are the Indians of Southern Mexico, occupying the greater part of the state of Oajaca and extending into Guerro. .Before the Spanish Conquest they formed a powerful nation and in culture -and in war-like prowess were not inferior to the Aztecs, whom they successfully resisted in several invasions. Their political system seems to. have been a tribal federation. The constructed buildings of stone and mortar; subsisted mainly by agriculture; had a complicated mythology and offered human sacrifices to their idols. Their system of. numeration, calendar and many of their
rites and customs resemble those ofj the Nehuatl tribes; but their language: was distinct. In war they use cotton j
armor. Mitla and other similar ruins I
in their territory were regarded by them as the tombs of their ancestors. The Zapotecs were conquered by the Spaniards in 1522 to 1526. After transient revolts in 1531 and 1550 they submitted to missionary influence and they are now a peaceful people, a laborious part of the Mexican population. They are frequently placed in positions of trust in the government and attain much success in the work. The celebrated President Juarez was a pure blooded Zapotec. They are estimated to compose about 260,000 of the population. Of this number not more than 50,000 speak their language.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It," "Up" TOUCHES It's the things we touch with our souls through our fingers and oar hearts, that make us really immortal! Before me is an exquisite piece of engraved coloring. It is the work of a woman artist. I am told that she takes something like a year to work up a single picture, and that a full year in advance her work is all subscribed for. I am not surprised. For each piece that I have seen seems a masterpiece in itself. I can feel the genius of her thought, as it blossomed from the touch of her skilled fingers. And on a Little stand near me is an appealing example of sculpture. Every line of the delicate form seems perfectly modeled. I can almost see the fingers of this artist as they so knowingly round every curve. In almost every direction yon look you are bound to see something that human hands have touched and given life and animation. The great buildings which creep up into the sky hav3 a peculiar fascination for me as I think of every hand that touched some part and made the whole thing great. The touches of the musician whose fingers give meaning to silent strings or keys, of the painter who leaves his soul in color on canvasses which inspire for centuries, of the rug maker who feels much of himself into his greatly beloved art are not these evidences of divinity in the world here and now? Although many years have stolen their way into quite a distance, I can still feel the touch of my Mother's fingers as they smoothed my brow and made a nest for kisses so that the angels might have an excuse for coming into the night and into my room to watch. To add some touch to the day so that it may take on Just a little more light, just a little more cheer, just a little more gentle judgment toward human beings this in itself is a task for any man or woman. So that our brief span may, by no means, have been in vain!
