Ralston, the Democratic nominee for United States Senator, has challenged his opponent, Albert J. Beveridge, to say “at least one friendly word in support of the four-power pact. ’ Whether that will be done remains, of course, to be seen, but if one were to judge by Mr. Beveridge's r. cord of silence on the question it would seem that he will find it impossible to get on friendly speaking terms with the “monumental achievement’ of the Harding Administration. Mr. Ralston’s challenge serves to focus attention on one of the strange contrasts of the Indiana campaign. There is Beveridge, running for the United States Senate on a platform that indorses the Harding Auministration, yet to all intents and purposes he is utterly opposed to the treaties that grew out of the parley. Then there is Mr. Ralston, who if he had followed the dictates of partisanship as exemplified by Lodge Watson et ah would now be an implacable foe of the treaties, yet we find him broader than the bounds of party ties, upholding the results of the conference. Mr. Beveridge said on May 25, in reply to a question as to his views on the four-power pact: “Why discuss that? It is already a part o? the law of the land. One might just as well discuss the emancipation proclamation. I don't care to say anything about It at all." Mr. Ralston, in speaking before the Democratic State convention, tai this to say: But since we could not got the T l-.'.vc b“en wlllimr to take the next beet thing. Though it 1? but av- rv si: sfej ■ ■ n While lam a party man laait it i:t..l ">L that If Ig" '“VI a mv partisanship will erase at 'ho water's -are auU I w.u stand - a of President Harding or of any etat-r Pres.deut umk.a*. , . . effort to prevent or end war.

Mr. Ralston’s broad stand manifestly will appeal to these thinking people.

Knickers in the Limelight While th°re has been a .;r< at deal of fommer.t for an.', against knickers for girls, vet the step taker, by I-- ■-.non. mayor of Traverse City. Mich., to arrest any won- a r gvi aiv - ’g on h. street, there wearing knickers, has aroused consi-i'-n :>• r ir ;ro r. . His decree does not exc’udo t us. It d-v's not seem ‘'air to be arrested for appearing in a distant city attired in a garb which your home town sanctions. The equestrienne !r. the :-••:!-urns wH. fold horse.! suddenly marched to Jail upon arriving in Traverse City donned in her knlcker riu ng habit, if she does not happen to have knowledge of the new order. Why t;. sudden disapproval of knickers? Have not women been wearing breeches for five or six years for horseback riding? Bloomers have long been approved for athletics, and knickers are regarded a necessity for outdoor -e.nfort in sports. A New York theater recently rcf.no I admittance to a young woman in knickers and yet a certain tt-ater owner '.:-.s authorized knlcker uniforms for his usherett'-s. All unusual st'C's have a shower of 'TitSeisin poured upon them before they are generally accepted. Take o r instance tae very short skirt. When Paris launched this fashion Americans assumed an attitude of immunity. Every one openly declared that American women were too demure to accept this style, but It is not necessary to mention the success it finally had here and the reluctance with which It Is being given up. New York has recently abandoned it, however, and a middle aged woman In a knee length skirt was regarded as a curiosity on Fifth avenue the other day, which shows that anything out of style is a curiosity, and while this style Is shockingly noticeable when not generally worn, It excited little astonishment when it was common. In the middle West the short skirt fashion has not yet been discarded and the long skirt is the rarity. It is not to be anticipated, however, that knickers will soon be worn generally by all women, but we may reasonably to see the day not far distant when their appearance on the street will not be regarded as a curiosity. McCray Fails to Explain Governor McCray's characterization of Frederick Van N"uys’ charges that the State depository law has be n misused f >r the benefit of banks in which State officials are interested as “little stuff” doubtless came from the heart, and the use of those two little words averted the necessity of a lengthy, detailed statement defending the practice. No one questions the legality of depositing State funds in institutions in which the Governor, Lawrence Lyons, or Ora J. Davies are interested, yet the coincidence of the induction of the McCray regime with increased deposits in banks controlled by members of the administration or their friends is not a wholesome spectacle from a public pokit of view. Nor can Mr. Lyons escape the verdict of popular opinion by declaring that the Democrats would have done the same thing if they had been in power. Doubtless it is true, as B-r. If. Urbahns, deputy treasurer, said, that Democrats had misused the law in the same way. but if the custom was morally wrong then, as it unquestionably was, it is wrong now, and the excuse falls fiat. W. G. Oliver, auditor of State, intimated that he resisted the efforts of banks in Franklin —his heme—to obtain large slices of State money, and is opposed to the policy of all- eating State funds to institutions so closely related to officialdom. If this is true, it means that the majority of. the finance board. Governor M ‘ hay and Treasurer Davies, must bear the responsibility for the acts complain* and of. McCormick Quits Els Jch The resignation of Harold F. McCormick as president of the International Harvester Company as the edraax to a series of domestic troubles demonstrates that big corporations are no longer tolerant of men whose conduct is such that it cannot Instill public confidence in their ability or their motives. The same rule held true when James A. Stillman resigned from the presidency of the National City Bank of New York following sensational publicity as a result of a divorce suit. Mr. McCormick, who was divorced by his wife, a daughter of John D. Rockefeller, has favored the marriage of his young daughter to a Swiss livery stable proprietor whom the mother feels is only seeking a financial alliance. Although the affair is purely a McCormick family matter, the prominence of the parties involved lias made it more or less a public question and Mr. McCormick does not occupy a very enviable position as a result of his activities. The McCormick nnd Stillman cases ere excellent demonstrations that the man oi affluence can not “get by” with everything.

WASili ALTON, J:.:.0 3.-- Congressional dillydallying over important Atlministration measures, and particularly the tariff and merchant marine bill, is beginning to .sorely vex I’resident Harding. The President, it is ofuciaily stated at the White lieuso, hopes for tl-e enactment of both the. ■ moitsiircs at the present session. lie .---s no reason why a Congress that has tad time to consider mnuers of far i-ss importance should not act upon the ship ru sidy bill. It was strongly l. ima -d that officials of the ship:.;. board who were brought to ■Washington to reorganl-ic the American merchant marine are chaffing under the delays i; C per. es. Unless some actl-n is taken soon it was said the President f-t rs he wfiil m- un.-i’-de to keep some of the high officials ou the job. WHITE titl: MAY ABANDON M i l ALOV.
