Milwaukee.
$! “Each nation posse.-ses its proxjhlems ami oui- of the present period are especially perplexing due to wide variety of causes,” Moss said. “Contributing factors to the problems are the greed for gold, increase of human wants, exces- excitement, lessening of parental control, loosening of moral restraints, advocacy of companionate mairiuge, distribution of indecent literature, super-abund-ance of legislation, wholesale dissemination of crime news, and the
disregard for law.
“Nature is constantly preaching and teaching us the wholesomeness of life hut we lose its message admidst the deafening noises of a restless
world."
Mose- added however that retrogression was not one of his accepted theoiies. “I maintain that the world is better today than ever before,” he -aid. “The most casual analysis of the advance in learning, the development of inventive genius, and the progress in the arts and .-dences c provide- positive proof of progres-

WASHINGTON, June 18.

The formal president’s ball Wednesday evening and a carnival celebration, in which water sports will be numerous, on Thursday evening, will | be the social features of the week.
Under the plan being considered b> the Nationalists the several war lords who now control different sections ol the country and who are nominally loyal to the Nationalists would be given authority to continue ttielr present function-, including the allimportant one of collecting taxes in their sections. They would be responsible to the central government in Nanking only in matters affecting foreign affairs and in matters that touch the common good of the entire country. Aside from these considerations their authority would be complete, ... It is believed here the Nationalists will appoint these war lords to be "defense commissioners" in their various capitals. Thus Li Chai-sum piobably would rule the South from ( anton, Li Chung-chen would govern Central China from Hankow, Chiang Kai-.-'hek would administer the lower Yangtze and seacoa-t provinces from Naking or Shanghai. Feng Yu-hsiang would control the Northwest from Kaifeng, Yen Hsi-shan wiuld be supreme in Shansi, Chihli and Shantung, governing these provinces fiom Peking and Chung Hsuehliang, son of Chang Tso-lin, might be given contiol over Manchuria, witli his capital
at Mukden.
Viceroy System Old “Defense commissioners” are not new to China. Emperors of the Manehu dynasty, which held sway from 1644 to 1911, ami of even older dynasties, realizing that they could not themselves control the vast country, deputized trusted princes to act as viceroys or defense commissioners in important cities. Each viceroy was given control over several provinces, his territory being called a viceroyalty. Usually one or two of his provinces were prosperous and the others comparatively poor. The victory was -upreme in his particular domain, but was allied with the dynastic house in Peking by blood and military ties an 1 was required to pay tribute to Peking from time to time. This tribute, usually consisting of rice or silk, lie collected from his provinces, sending some of it to the poorer provinces, some to Peking and etaining the remainder for hiin-elf. According to Nelson T. Johnson, assi-tant secretary of state for har Eastern affairs, the Nationalists may be reverting to this system, which was abandoned after the Republican revolution of 1911-12, because they realized the ward lords will not subordinate themselves to a centralized government under which they would be mere figureheads shorn of all authority. , , ... If the Nationalists hold the militarists in line underlie projected confederation, and obtaining their cooperation in foreign and national affairs, Johnson believes the confederation scheme will work. In that event the Nationalist regime unquestionably will be recognized by the United
States.
county, now numbered among the departed, which was more deserving to live than was this place. It hud a post office, a store, blacksmith shop, saw mill, tun yard, carding mill, sash mill, ginseng “factories,” apple-jack distilleries and a grist and flour mill that was three Moors in heighth with a basement under it. There were half a dozen log houses, also. All of the machinery was operated ' by water power, derived from various I log dams which were constructed | across Ramp creek, one after anoth-1 er, as they were washed out by floods, j There arc yet traces of the last dam, j
and the race-way.
When John Kosher, prior to 1822,! went on a hunting trip up Big Rac-1 eoon and Ramp creek, from Portland Mills, he so admired this region on the latter stream that he returned there at once to make a home. It was on that hunting trip that he shot a twenty-four pound wild turkey. At the foot of a hill where there was a good spring of water, he built a log cabin. Ten years later, he built a pretentious brick house, which is yet standing, with the top of the upper story removed. This brick is on west from the little cemetery. It is a typical residence structure of a century ago, meeting the most refined
rural requirements.
its interior woodwork is well preserved. The wainscoating, the narrow, angular stairway, the cupboard under the stairs, and the door and window frames are all quaint. The floors are of hardwood which has been sand-scoured through so many years that the soft grain has been cut away, leaving the intervening hard grain standing out clean and sharp. There is a mantel with some hand carving
that is interesting.
