Lamar, May 29. Whether C. A. Gambrill who returned yesterday afternoon by auto from Salina reports the roads fatween Wichita and Wellington in good shape. But north of Newton they are in terrible shape.

From McPherson to Newton Mr, Gambrill says he fought mud nearly to the hub of the car. It was 'stated in high circles this morning that a settlement of the Tokio, April 17 (Correspondence there will be any. effort to identify and bring to prosecution the members Adriatic question was now a cer of The Associated Press.)

The coroner's have joined in an indictment of the Government's foreign policies, especially toward China. As summarized in the JIJI, the Peers expressed the opinion that the race question is unimportant compared to the Chinese question, and that the real injury which Japan suffered at Paris was the disclosure of Chinese antagonism. The Peers expressed the view that true friendship between Japan and China should be cultivated.

Chief From the community standpointworking, playing, and serving a3 one big family this year of 1919 is to be the best year of Wellington's history. Work intelligent and sustained is, the world's stlvation. But the best work can be done only when it is mixed with hours of intel- ligent recreation. And the hard working, hard playing individual is only at his best when he also serves.

Coming home from the wars is a soldier-member of a large family. In his younger days there were times whn the table goodies had to- be spread pretty thin to go around. Knowing how well the younger children loved the first strawberries and other luxuries, he usually found that he had no taste for such things, and his portion was added to the plates of the smaller fry. WTiile this is a service not common to children, it is a love trick which mothers have been performing with their broods since the world And communities only grow and thrive in all those things which are beneficial to life, in proportion as their work and play is filled with this spirit of service and sacrifice. The man who struggles to the top, financially, having in mind only how his money may serve "me and my wife, my son John and his wife, us four and no will add nothing to the sum of human happiness, and die.little regretted.

Our new auditorium should add much to Wellington's enjoyment. In it we should hear and enjoy the great musical artists and lecturers of the country. But if we do not work out a plan whereby a scale of prices can be arranged which will bring these entertainments within the reach of the leanest purse, the auditorium will not have been made to serve its highest purpose-. There is need that we do something to create more local interest in music. Better church choirs are to encouraged, and a large community chorus would be a help.

With the new auditorium, doubtless a three-day May Festival would produce enough money each year to provide cash prizes which would stimulate education in music, Mrs. Sellers is working out intelligently her vision of Community Park. It needs commendation and encouragement not sneers and fault-finding. Opposition to the purchase of Roosevelt Park failed to develop sufficiently to endanger the proposition. In paying nearly twenty thousand dollars for the site for the auditorium, wise business men have scented the danger of failing to take over the only available tract of such size and value, which might be much desired some day, when it would take many times the present price to acquire it.

But to take it over without adding the little necessary to put it into immediate service would be as shortsighted as the failure to acquire all of city hall block a few years ago. fail to support better roads is to run away from progress. And yet we find some who fail to see the necessity of keeping up with the march of civilization. The Wellington Home Foundation has already given Wellington the best advertising she ever had, and it has only just begun. It needs support and encouragement, because of the great benefit it will be to Wellington, and because of its great advertising value.

Our Victory Celebration on July 4 is to be the greatest day Wellington ever had. The ease or difficulty the committee finds in securing the fund necessary will be a fair test of our community spirit. To accomplish the great things which are now planned, and all of those mentioned above will be accomplished, there must be good team work, if the results are to be obtained in the best and healthiest way. It is too much to hope that all will help on these plans for a larger, happier community life. As yet no town has ever been directed along the road of progress without having to meet and conquer those who believe in the god of things as they are.

This referenced not to be applied to the men who study every plan carefully and then decide for themselves whether it is good, sometimes feeling impelled to oppose -measures called progressive. This is not only a right, but evtry man's duty. Reference is made to that type of mind ljuilt for pessimism and protest, doubting the good faith of every person who is a pioneer in progress, and usually unwilling to contribute to any improvement which does not return at least seven percent interest in real money. There are variations in the form of this class of individuals. Some of them are in lodges, blackballing all applicants, regardless of character, with whom they may ever have had a controversial conflict.

He belongs to church, but will neither lead, nor follow a leader. He will oppose new pews to replace those out of date, and usually, when the new ones are provided, seeks the choicest one for his own comfort. He "won't give a cent" for a pipe organ, and stands with his hand on the knob when the door is opened to the first free organ recital. He will not Oh well, what's the use you know him you bet your life you know him. He, lives in every community and is well known.

He" never built a lodge, a church, or a town, but has been wrecker of many. Now we want to make this the best town in the world we should be satisfied with no'less ambition. We must have the best churches; the best music; the best homes and happiest home owners; the best and cleanest streets; the best auditorium entertainments; the best parks; the best lodges; the best stores; the best newspapers; the best and cleanest theatres, pool halls, base ball teams, and other athletic and amusement enterprises. And every person should love the town and work for it, and for every proper interest in it. We know that some will oppose all these things, especially those which mean the contribution of money; and that means that the rest of us must work all the harder for success, because of those members of the family who are sure to hold back or seek to distract our attention from the goal.
