given by Dr. B De Jong Fan Book on Dane. He objecte to tko covenant because it excludes tbe vanquished nations. falls to provide far compulsory arbitration, afforda no guarantiee that "the decisions af the league af nations will bo really based on international Juatlee." aad also because of "tho lack of auflleiont assurances that an International court of Jflatleo will soon be established and the development af Intentatlenai law con-

tinued." Tho writer continues: Tbe Dutch government draws sps-

mni attention ta the fact that the

prohibited and that tho sanctions are too uncertain te create sufficient faith tn the real power standing behind the enforcement of the rules of tho covenant. This lack of faith will be a hindrance on tho way toward national

disarmament.

But Holland was further, so it !• argued, asked to make real sacrillcee. namely, her neatrallty. and part of her sovereignty, sacrifices that wo | should aot bo called on to make. Tot within throe days after the peace treaty went into affect the Dutch government made public Its proposal to the parliament to empower the queen "ta declare Holland’s accession to the league of nations.’* We quote again

(tom the article:

In other words, this little nation has caught tho idea of service, realises Its responsibility to tho world, aad is anxious, ovaa at the coot of sacrifice, to co-operate in "building a e of aatisns upon the rains af — and the people still think and of the nation’s "soul." To rsfuse go Into ths league would. It is said, "be plajAtg Into ths hands of those who da net deairs a bettsr organisation. bat who Wish to have unrestricted freedom to declare war and who wish to maintain ths prsbdat miiitsry system.'" What is true of Holland Is equally true af gwttserland. both governments being "of tbe opinion that It would not be good policy to refrain from Joining the league." Tat congress Is trying ^o decide whether It caa and should not make s peace that would protect *11 the rights guarantied to us by the treaty — which It has so far rspudlatsd — and free us from all responsibility. Asd Raymond Robins, ns advance agent of Senator Johnson, though he saw nothing specially to condoms in Bolshevism and denounces our government for ita slight effort to protect helpless people against assassins, and instate that Us peace treaty must be modified in tbe interest of Germany, is telling the peeple of Indiana that the league of natione Is ail wrong. There are many practical men in Holland and Switzerland, but they are not so ■praettear as to have lost "the

vision splendid. ’ C

No economist, ao man familiar with the fundamentals of practical trading. would * believe that greater production will not influence prions. On ail aides the people are being urged to Increased productivity as ths primary stsp toward rsdueing

living cqsts.

Ths corollary to ths sscrotastsn’ statement that greater production will reduce the farmer’s ineoma perhaps explains ths assertion as to ths offset on prices. Not la It by any meaaa clear that greater production will affect adversely'the farmer's Income He may get less a bushel for his wheel, but If he has more wheat to sell his total profit will bs greater. Ths secretaries, as a means of reducing living costs, counsel for ths country at large less extravagance and more work. In other words, they mdvtne less consumption and more production. Thnt is sound counsel for farmers ns well ns for ths producer* of other commodities It is not beliovnbls thnt ths farmers of ths country can be influenced to stab ths country In Us back by limiting production when the aim of every man who values his own and the national welfare Is ta augment production so that supply may once more catch up

with demand.

THE POST CASE

Very properly the resolution introduced in the house calling for the impeachment of Louts F. Post, assistant secretary of labor, will be considered in committee, and the result will be xn investigation of ths actions of Mr. Post, whether there Is impeachment or not. And an invest!-

this league. Holland should Lgation is greatly needed. Ths feel-

ing is that there has been too much tenderness toward thoso held for deportation. It Is certain that there Is a conflict of opinion between the department sf Justice and ths department of labor a* represented by Mr. Post. Ths only possible conclusion Is that ths department of justice has urged the deportation of many innocent persons or else that ths department of labor has stood in ths way of ths deportation of those who had forfeited their right to remain in this country. It is fitting that Mr. Post should have an opportunity to defend himself and hts policy, and to explain any actions that are now challenged. Ths government In this Important business should have a clearly defined policy, and act. In all its dspartmsata strictly in accordance with ths law. It is to be hoped, therefore, that tbe Investigation will bs both thorough aad Impartial, and prompted solely by tbs desire to learn th* truth. Mr. Pont is known to entertain extremely liberal views—-view* that to many will seam to be advanced* But tbeee are net in laeue. What the country wants to knew ie whether the assistant secretary has been protecting men who did not deeervo protection. It would aleo like to see hearty co-operation tn this Important matter between the two departments of th* government charged with responsibility ia connection with it.

enough when given by employer*, but when the strikers* own friends aad associates give thia advice it demands even mere attention. Such a course was recommended in resolutions adopted st a local meeting of about It* members of th* four great brotherhoods of railroad em-

ployes.

Tbe resolution* show that ths brotherhoods, through thoir officials, had been as successful as any human agency could be in advancing th* causes of tk# members. They might bate stated that tbe railroad men owe practically everything they have obtained in th* way of legislation, safety appliances, shorter hours and so on to th* brotherhoods. At times the public has felt tbe demands made were unfair, but a spirit of compromise has finally prevailed aad the railroad men have fared aa well as or better than men in other industries. Rot long ago the brotherhood chiefs were fighting th* legislation that congress finally enacted, but when the law went Into effect they showed their good sense aad sound Americanism by announcing that Bata, hut they proposed to give it a fair trial. Tbe statute ^ provides for a board, composed equally of members representing the railroads, the employes and th* public, which i* to consider all demands for higher wagee. etc. Under the law .the railroads could not to the act upon the demands the men mad* upon them. The brotherhood chiefs understood this and said that a strike at thia time was ill-advieed. Gradually th* mea who west out under

meat of freight had beea reduced te a minimum, every effort was mad* to us* rooter trucks Some of them hauled freight out of Indianapolis and soma brought freight In. No sooner had the emergency service started than reports began to come ia about actios takea by township road officials. Some of the heavily laden trucks were doiag considerable damage to highways aad the highway authorities sought te atop something that would cost th* taxpayers moaey for repairs Net long age a big truck, with a full lead, mired down la a neighboring county. It was stuck for two days aad after being unloaded th* greatepf difficulty wan experienced ia getting it eut of th* mud. The truck tore up tk* road ao that It was virtually impassable

A stretch of mud road ia th* earn* as a box ear with no trucks ta th* middle of u freight train. Th* train is ready to run, but one defective car will prevent its runaiag. So it ia with tbe reads.

potatoes while prices are high, msm bers of the Housewives’ League et Marion County entered into a general discussion of home problems A report of th* meeting say*: Several of the housewives, taking part in the general dtecuaeioa. declared that the high cost situation can be controlled by th* women, if they will give th* proper amount of time and attention to their households instead of leaving them te inexperienced help, or neglecting them altogether, for the sake of outside pursuits. The wisdom of this suggestion ia apparent, yet there must be a happy medium between household work and koueakold management. An element that formerly opposed giving women any privilege eentlnaally shouted that "woman’s plan* la in the home," when what it really meant was that "woman's place le in tbe kitchen.’’ It believed that women should cook. sew. waab, rear children and scrub floors. Then came the view that there was no more reason for a woman to be a slave to her home than for a man to be a slave to hla business. Labor saving appliances came to lighten the work of the kitchen, and gradually the housewives have been emanci-

pated.

Th* average woman has as much good Bens* as good looks, hut there is no denial that many women have found outside pursuits so Interesting that they neglect th* work at home. Perhaps neglect is too stroag a word because such a woman usually leaves tho house in charge of somebody, but this somebody can not bring the same degree of business management te It that ah* can if aha jrtves it her attention. Getting meaia from cans is an easy way to solve th* menu problem, but It 1* as expensive as it is easy. The personal touch is neceaaary if household budgets are held te th* minimum. Women are welcomed la bueiness. In polities and elsewhere, but there is danger — as members of the Housewives' League pointed out — of th* pendulum swinging too far th# other way. In these days of high prices no housewife can afford to neglect personal buperrlslon of her own home. That come* first and. as a certain national chairman says, everything else is chores. \

General Wood's Example

(Boston TranecnpU In voluntarily calling off hia campaigning for the present, canceling many engagements to apeak here and elsewhere throughout th* east, giving up ths first furlough he has taken in many years, and starting west at II o’clock tonight to resume command of the central department and hold himself In readiness for service in the strike .field, Leonard Wood Is only living up to a lifetime habit of practicing what he preaches. His fellowcitixens in this his home state of Massachusetts will forget their disappointment at not hearing and seeing him and shaking his hand in their, admiration for the fin# spirit of selfforgetfulness and simple devotion to duty that he show* in this critical time of national unrest. He Is setting an example which his admirers here and elsewhere will try all th* harder to, follow—an example that will have a ton teal effect upon timid procrastinators the country over. "Steady la the watchword" Is Gen. Wood’s message to the nation, and ths nation knows, that he means what he says.

Governor Lowden's victory in Illinois will not be entirely satisfactory to him. It Is his home state and he la Its favorite son. He ought to have a unanimous delegation, according to the old rule of weighing the candidacies of favorite song Instead the delegation is spilt, with Lowden, of course, in control of tho majority. He made no great showing In South Dakota and did not run well in Michigan, the neighbor state of Illinois. Hla managers have been actively at work In tn# south, with results; but the time he* passed when southern delegates could make a nomination in a Republican convention. Besides, his headway in the aouth was mad* before Frank H. Hitchcock allied himself to the Wood candidacy and went down there. Wood and Johnson showed unexpected strength In th# Illinois poll.

them, with Wood getting the simonpure Rooeevelters and Johnson getting that element which was at tracted to Roosevelt solely because they counted him a radical—“the lunatic fringe,” as Rooaevelt himself once called that kind of support. Down-state Illinois voted for Lowden, with the exception of a few counties, and th# real fight waa in Chicago. There Johnson accomplished th# remarkable feat of haying more than 49,000 voters take the trouble to writs his name on th# ballot He got 1,090 more down state, but it is the Chicago vote that counts in the po-

litical calculations.

The plurality of more than 27,000 votes cast for Wood In Cook county Is undoubtedly a Roosevelt vote In the main, though local opposition to Governor Lowden may have Playt some part In it. It is more rtkel however, that voters affected by th consideration voted for Johnson. Mayor Thompson announced at the beginning that he would keep his hands off, but his lieutenants were busily at Work for Johnson, in obedience. It Is said, to a statement issued by the mayor Tuesday night Ths natural affiliations of Thompson and his radical following would bs with Johnson, and if he did violate his promise to keep hands off it was in Johnson’s interest, as th# Wood and Lowden managers charge. Johnson, of course, got the pacifist and pro-German vote, as he does everywhere. Th# state outside of Chicago was organised for Lowden. and Wood’s vote was probably made up almost entirely of straightout Roosevelters. Tho same conditions would not exist In some other states, where Wood’s support might be more mixed

in character.
