Lite Building, Kansas City, Mo. TOM MARSHALL AND BOK'S AWARD: — Thomas R. Marshall, former Vice President of the United States, has made a bid for Edward W. Bok’s SIOO,OOO peace plan award. He suggests an international agreement pro viding that war shall not be declared by any country until the question has been submitted to a referendum of all men and women above 18 years of age. and then not until sixty days after a favorable vote. If Mr. Marshall wins Mr. Bok’s SIOO,OOO we’ll add a good 5 cent cigar to the award, but pending a d> cision a few doubts occur. Mr. Marsha’l is thinking in terms of Indiana, which he knows as one of its most amiable | citizens. He can see a referendum | working in Indiana. Russia has a big army and may make or get into the next war. The Russians do not vote. If they did they would have to vote the way the soviet government told them. China is knocked to pieces by irt.-ual wars. It has armies and bandits, but no governments. China couldn't have a referendum. If Mexico had a referendum the vote would be what the government wanted it to be. Tin se arc minor troubles in Mr. -Marshall s scheme, I for which, by the way, he would claim original authorship. We believe I Congresswoman Huck of Illinois sug- ■ gested such an arrangement to congress. It’s a favorite dodge of the pacifist. We do not quite see what would happen in case one people declared for war and another against it. If the Japanese voted for war with the

It would be an unchivalrous tldnfc to do, but the Japanese government might reply that, disagreeable us tbe thing was, it had a mandate. I The chances are that two peoples w ho were cool headed enough to take a vote on war couldn’t be driven to fight each other and if they wanted to fight no treaty could compel them to take a vote. People who can be driven to war by their rulers can be driven to the polls or away from them. it Mr. Bok wants to give the $11)0,000, we’re game on our cigar proposition.—Chicago Tribune.

police and officials and th,e booUeggcrs. It seems to have been a case of too much liberality in permitting law violations. It’s the old case of when they are given an Inch they tuke a mile and the wisest course is t° make every one obey the laws, all of them all the time, as nearly as possible. Racing curs through the city with the cut-outs open is a violation of the state laws and should bo stopped. Why watt until it becomes a worse nuisance? Cutting corners, driving cars at an excessive speed is dangerous and the way to stop it is for the police to make a few arrests. A spotter on any street can get enough
