countries aeainst their own Kovernruents. Hut ii is refreshing to find a Journal like the Loudon Nation saving of ii: "President Wilson must, know better tiian any (if us that the wiil of the peoples of the earth does not enter into the ground -work of this socalled league; the governments alone are represented. The fatal flaw in the foundation of this structure is its complete autocracy. The center of vast power is vested in a self-constituted autocracy of five ministers, who control all determined judgments and actions of the league. If the league is permit red to take this form it were better for the worid iT it had never been conceived, for it would make the world safe not for democracy, bin for a new and stronger despotism." It is not a .grateful ta.k to approve an alien utterance ajrainst out own president, but in tins case no other course is possible. Severe as the nation's rebuke i?. 'be president has drawn it upon himself.

KINGLY TRAPPINGS. If Mr. Wilson should have in minJ the future setting v.D of a monarchial roenase, it is apprehended that the Rulers of Europ have presented him with enough paraphernalia to last hiniae'f and hia household for eome ypars to come. And. under an autocracy, the constitutional provision against the acceptance of any present from any kins, prince, or foreign state, by a person holdins office of profit or trust under the United State?, wi'bont the consent of Congress, would, of course, be obsolete.

AN UNNECESSARY TRIP. The editor of thi-s newspaper, together with probably svral hundred editors of the Seventh Federal District, baa been invited to a conference in Chicago on April 11th to las, a day, for the purpose of conferring wi'h th Federal District Victory Loan officials as to promoUon and publicity for the coming loan. Kri".t;rj. have been a?ked to notify the Federal pvprve officials whether or not they can come so that expense account vouchers covering the costs of the trip, railroad fares, meals, etc., can be sent them. "v thoroughly agree with the Fort "Wayne News, which suggests that the editorial trip to Chicago is unr,prssary and that th money which the junket will cost 1s a sinful wa3te. Says the News: ' This means that hundreds or editors are invited to com fo Chicago at the expense of the United States ovmment to participate in a conference in which not half a dozen will be heard and probably none offer counsel worth while. Everything- that could possibly be ai romplished at this gathering- ccruld much better ba accomplished by a series of half a dozen sensible and Sitsine?s-Hke letters directed to the editors. If any of 'Vse gentlemen have suggestions to make they can make them by mail, and to adopt its own Idea this paper mi- suggests that this absord and expensive conference h called off and the money saved. "Acrual'y, the spending of public money has become s trh ?n obsession that there are those who apparently 1 o awake of nights devising new ways to scatter the rnn. It is high time to call a halt and to return to that practice of economy that is In. consonance with common sense and thfJ financial burdens of the American people." It is not only a wasfe of money, but it is a waste of time. The editors in this district, from y.-bat we littfiy of them. ar a pretty busy let, and it would be impossible for a lot nf Them to get away anyway. It fs unnecessary fr them to ned any counl or any urgent r-ompiiEEs a' th Victory Loan. They have been through, the mill four times before and if the loan is taken care of ss well as 1re predecessors there is no rlnvb hat that iria! if wTil b OVrSub?CTibe(J. rut out the Junkets and rut out the waste.

A BRITISH LIBERAL VIEW. Choree Harvey, once a sponsor for Fres;dent Wilson, Is rerrainlv keen with the literary scalpel. He doesn't thjnJt much of Wi;?on's League of Nations idea. Me says 1t Is encouraging and heartening to that sane rrln'is beyond the Atlantic perceive the boHowness of the president's tumid rhetoric, the falsity of some of Va pretensions, and the fatal defects in the League of NVion which ba Is trying to impose upon the world. The presMen? in bis Boston speech strore to persuade us that the people of Europe, more than the governments, were behind his scheme. lie said: "The nit:ons of the world have set t.heir hands to do a cieit thing. . . . and when I speak of 'ha nations 1 i o not speak of the governments. I rpeak of the rropes who constitute the naions of the world. They are 1n the saddle and they are going- to see ir it that if their present (governments do not do their will some ofher governments shall." H was no, perhaps, surprising to hear tb president utter that implied menace against th very government, with which he is negotiating; seeing that he was recently eneaced in appealing- to the pontiles of some of tbose

the spread of Bolshevism to tne i unm " - and clothe the Holsheviki. A good deal of the talk about our dutv to Europe. Asia aod the islands of the sea is rather bard to understand, but the theory that Americans should toil and spin and skimp in order that the Russians nav run amuck with all expenses paid is the ruost inexplicable doctrine of all. The only wav to cure Russia 'of her madness is to let the people of that unhappy country suffer the consequences or anarchy until they decide" to get rid of it. ForAmeii- o feed, the Bolsheviki snake in the hope that after fat and sassy it will s'ay on its own premises is an argument uttered not in friendimess to the American people or the American form of government, but to the forces of disorder and class autocracy in Europe. DISCARD PRUDERY'S CLOAK. tea.- Chicago ttps into the van among Indiana cities with an actual appropriation by the city council of $3000 for the establishment of a clinic in the city for the treatment of venereal diseases, and this newspaper has been asked to giv its support to ihe movement. It does so unhesitatingly. Tje federal government has appropriated nearly $iO,b) to meft a like appropriation from the state for the purpose of fishtinj; venereal diseases, a great eooial service. Incidentally it is becoming increasingly proper to discuss this arch enemy of mankind, openly and without the cloak of prudery that heretofore has impelled many newspapers to refer to this viciously destructive force as "unmentionable," etc. Tne campaign is a pari of the new order of things. The war has opened up the social fabric and thrown Into the discard a lot of fabe modesty covers. The campaign has been instituted and is making considerable progress. The Hammond and Gary city councils nave ordinances providing for the reporting and quaran'mmg of venereal diseases. IndianapoL's. Eransville, East Chicago. Anderson and Muncle established clinics. Indiana organizations are preparing to get in the fight. Twelve hundred churches will participate in the fijjht for better men, better women and better children. People who hare communicable diseases will not he permitted to pre? upon society. The subject so appealed to the manufacturers of Anderson as a business proposition thaj they themselves pledged financial support for a year's clinic.

THE NEW VICTORY LOAN DRIVE. : . . The Fifth Liberty Loan Drive, which wdl be 'known as the Victory Liberty Loan, will, according to a statement made by Carter Glass, eeeretary of the treasury, be opened on Monday. April 2lst, will last for three weeks, and -will end on Saturday. May lftth. This is expected to be the last l'berty loan undertaken by the government. The Amount of the loan end the rate of interest have nor yet been announced by the- treasury department. This issue of rovemrcent liberty eecuritie will consist of 6hort-term notei rather than long-term bonde, such as were issued during the first four liberty loan drlres. Secretary Glass fcaa authority, in the laws under which the t three liberty bond issues were old, to ofTer for sale additional liberty bonds up to S,0?2,51S,PO0; however, the rate of Interest on euch "bonds !s limited by la-w to four and one-quarer per cent. Moreover, they would be eubject to super-taxes and profit taxes, and It is thought that they would not be likely to prove a real success, consequently the iasuanre of short-term notes passed y Confess, the secretary of the treasury has been grlven authority to issue short-term notes to t.he amount of $7,000,000,000. He a'.Bo has authority to make the conditions and rate of interest more attractive than the four and cne-Quarter per cent bonds. Regarding; this matter, Secretary Glata says: "I tn led to adopt the plan of Isstitng short-terra notep rather than long-term bonds largely because of the fact that I believe that a short-term issue will maintain a price at above par after the campaign, rs concluded far more readily than wojld a longer term iiue. I haT not Tet reached a conclusion as to the rate, of interest and the exemptions from taxation which these notes will bear because this decision must t babied upon existing condition immediately prior to the, opening of the campaign. I take this opportunity to repeat, what I have already stated, that it ia the intention of the treasury department to carry on the same kind of Intensive campaign for distribution as heretofore. Tt wovtld a most unfortunate occurrence if the people of tha United State failed te take thaee sotsf, thut placing the burden of subscriptions on the bnk. . . . f therefore ask the American people once

again to aive their support lo theirn government In i order 'hat this great loan may be made an overwhelm

ing success by the widest possible di-frtbution." Under the Bond Act of March 3, 1913. recently will be resorted to daring the coming drive.
