the Red Crusts will assume entire charge of the operations from the time of collection until the delivery to the ships of the Kuropean Relief Administration, which will transport it to Europe. In countries where the Red Cross has no organization, Mr. Hoover has offered to have hi3 food representatives take charge of this distribution. Thus the responsibility for the campaign will be on the Red Cross from the time of the collection of the clothing to the time of its ultimate distribution in Europe. Every kind of garment for all ages and bolh sexes is urgently needed. It is equally important that the chapters avoid the collection of garments which are utterly useless for relief purposes and should not be included in any parcel. The contribution of sue harticles which cannot he sent abroad unnecessarily increase the expenditures of Red Cross money. Garments need not be in perfect cundii ion. ON IMPUTING PARTISANSHIP. A correspondent accuses us of being partisan in what he calls our "opposition to a league of nations." This newspaper does not oppose a league or nations as a league. It does oppose a league where America is made a European catspaw and insists that there is no partisanship in the widespread opposition to a pact of that description.

TWO GOOD APPOINTMENTS. Gov. James P. Goodrich has made two good appointments for the bench hi Lake County in the persons of E. Miles Norton of Gary and Martin J. Smith of Crown Point. We have already spoken of Judge Norton's attainments for the ermine and his qualifications have already favorably impressed those with whom he has come in contact while a successor to Jud?e "W. C. McMaho-n on the Lake Circuit Court bench. The appointment of Martin J. Smith of Crown Point, a rising barrister, to sit on the newly created Criminal Court bench meets with general approval of bench and bar. Judge Smith, as he may now be called, is highly respected In legal circles in Crown Point, and his home town is proud of his success. He is believed to be eminently fitted for the honor that has been given hiiu, and thosa who are called before him will get a square deal in every respect. To adorn the bench of the Criminal Court in so populous and important a county as Lake County is no small job but Judge Smith's friends axe confident that he will administer justice in its strictest sense.

MUCH WORK F(JR THE PRESIDENT. The wheels of government and affairs in general in Washington are not running so smoothly of late, aue to the continued absence of the Nation's Chief abroad. After Mr. Wilson left in December the various government activities seemed to move along well on their own momentum, but gradually snags, problems, and important questions arose for which no definite solutions could b? found without the advice, consent or suggestions from the President, showing how closely identified is the office of the Executive with most every branch of the government, a matter never realized before beqause at no previous time has a I'resident been absent from the country. True, President Wilson -has been in constant touch by cable and letter with government officials, bu" tbere have been many things that cannot satisfactorily ba presented to him by such means, and so the oftrepeated response to many inquiries is "Wait until t h "

President returns." It is, therefore, but natural that the j

cos in the wheels are getting somewhat choked and rusty. Of course. Conzress moved along as best H eou!d. but when the President returns it is readily seen that the White House offices will lie jammed with Senators and Representatives and committees from both houses, all with their different stories to tell and all seeking advice. The Cabinet meetings are held regularly, hut lack the "pep and go"' to them that is found when the President is at the head of the table. Business and all sorts of delegations have flocked to Washington since the close

"The proposed organization of a league of nations carries us into the unexplored regions of diplomacy. It presents a problem far reaching in its effect, the solution of which will test the capacity of the Anuricpn people for self-government ard the preservation of American institutions. I have no sympathy whatever with the suggestion made by President Wilson that the discussion on by the Senate should be postponed until he comes home. A most unusual and regettable request the President has made. If President Wilson had thought more of America, her people, her institution, and tared less for the triumph of his personal ideas and efforts he would have said to the American people, 'discuss the measure, vivisect it, analyze it, tear it to pieces.' and find out its every possible defect, if defects there be in the plan, because it is only by the attrition of ideas and friction of suggestions that the truth, the eternal truth, shall be evolved. No man possesses a corner on all the wisdom and patriotism of this Republic; all men are fallible, even the Presidency of the Inited States is not hedged about with divine amniscience." The great trouble with the American people is that they are too complacent and ready to hand over to one man the privilege of doing their thinking for them. There never was a time In the nation's history when it was more criminal than it is now to delegate to other? the right to exercise judgment, to fail to be vigilant anil on guard for danger ahead. Surely it is urong to ascribe partisanship to the man who does that. I? Senator Hardwick, a Georgian democrat of no mean ability, partisan when he said in the Senate: "I have seen the executive branch of this Government absorb and magnify its own powers at the expense of other branches of the Government until the Congress of the United States stands abashed and ashamed before the American people, without standing, without credit, without self-respect, without power. Your bills are drawn in the executive bureaus and are merely passed up to you for your complaisant acquiescence, their rejection not being permitted. "I have seen this country Prussianized in order that we might maintain the proposition that free America was unable to fight a war unless she adopted the methods of despots. "And now, last of all. Mr. President, the fitting climax comes. Having absorbed all power that belonged to the States, havine taken all rights that belonaed to the citizens and lodged them all with the Federal Government, the Executive, then proclaiming his indifference in some cases to judicial opinion and his contempt always for congressional sentiment, proceeds to take them all to Europe with him in a ship named by mockery the 'George Washington.' and propeses to hand them over to a league of nations dominated by foreign powers."

PROTECT THE MEDALS. Bill introduced by Representative Gould, of NewYork, provides for a fine of $10,000 or imprisonment for tewnty years or both for the wearing of a Congressiooa Medal of Honor, a Distinguished Service Cross, or any decoration awarded by the Allies in the war by s-ny other person than the one to whom the decoration had been officially awarded. Lei the measure become fully drafted and passed in a hurry. If there is no such statute on the books it is a disgrace. See that it also provides penalties for manufacturlne or dealing in spurious decorations. And, above all, when the measure js passed see that it is enforced. It has up to the present been deemed no offence for anybody to wear any kind of uniform, whether entitled to or not. It is a practice we notice also to wear decorations with irregular promiscuity. Returned soldiers should wear onlv the stripes or chevrons they are entitled (o
