PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS LET'S ALL BOOST OXFORD FOR A BIGGER, BETTER OXFORD VOL. I. OXFORD, N. C, JAM AUY 20, 1922 NO. 10 THE FOUR POWER TREATY The four power treaty, binding England, France, Japan and Ameri ca to conferences on possible differ ences with regard to their insular pos sessions in the Pacific is not a com prehensive agreement. On its face it is not even a conclusive document. It does not mention China which is the Under spot in the whole Pacific situation. It substitutes for the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, an alliance of thi four greatest powers but it says nothing about the "Open Door" or the territorial integrity of China. However it does say that we shall get together and talk over a.11 disa greements concerning our insular pos sessions. And that is great progress, since the most troublesome thing in the world has always been the ina bility of the nations to agree to talk things over before they begin fight ing. It is believed that this conference has practically reached an agree- ! ment for naval limitations and that the reason further progress has not been made as to China and the ten points or bill of rights that she sub mitted is because China is in such a chaotic state. The conference has recognized the administrative integ rity of China and apparently is wait- j ing to see if the Chinese can bring a strong government out of the trouble J that now exists there. -a So it seems that the four power i-r-alliance will prove satisfactory.

Can we not bring about a more lasting peace by joining with them and working together than we can by holding aloof and merely ! waiting for some excuse to fight? . Bessie Faulkner NORTH CAROLINA'S OWN There is one institution of which this state can be justly proud. North Carolina was the first state in the j union to conduct a triangular de- j bate. Her example has been copied I by many other states, but none has found a more successful plan to en- ! courage debating in high schools. Every year more and more high schools are turning out debating '.... ' T.i!I fjtnf..- ii'.i . '.! for inter-collegiate debaters and later on for the pulpit and the bar. Although most of the boys of Ox ford High will have to learn some thing beside public speaking to be preachers, there are a few among us who aspire to be lawyers and now is the time for these few to start their preparation. This is also the time for the young ladies to start prac tice in arguing. Considering the number of students who expect to use their vocal organs at some future time we ought to have a goodly num ber of candidates for the triangular debate this year.

NEW RESOLUTIONS Some people have a habit of re solving on January the first to swear off, swear on, wipe the slate clean and hang up nice little printed cards each bearing a full set of resolutions for the New Year which are all promptly broken by the first of Feb- I ruary. But in the words of the poet, "Every day i3 a frsh beginning," so let's all do some more resolving right away. Let's decide on something more definite than to be good citi zens of the greatest nation on earth. j Let's all make each day a fresh be ginning and when one perfectly gool set of resolutions is broken, make an other set which will be just a little better, and then make a good, firm resolution not to break them. The English language gives us no better means of expressing this thought, than Oliver Wendell Holmes has given us in The Chambered Nautilus "Build thee more stately mansions 0 my soul, As the swift season's roll. T.onvo thv low-vaulted nast! Let each new roof, nobler than the last Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast Till thnn nt lencrth art free Leaving thine out-grown shell by life's unresting sea."
