UNCLEAN! Denmark has little sympathy with the Bolsheviks. It would be -well for those in authority in this country to at least look forward to legislation -which will help us handle this scum of society. Denmark will not allow them in the country. If they are not fit for Denmark they are not fit for America.

LIQUOR AND POLITICS. One wonders Just what effect the eradication of the liquor traffic will have upon politics. Politics fattened the brewery traffic for years and finally killed it. No one can conceive the greatness of the change TJRless he was fully convinced of the Influence of the saloon upon politics. They used to be almost inseparable; not that decent people gave way to their sordid Influence; but that many became closely associated with them ia exploiting public sentiment in the direction of alcoholic drinks. Why, it was onoe the case that political campaigns got much of their enthusiasm from the liquor ehop. And much of this enthusiasm resolved Itself into the political support of the drinking places. It was bo often the habit, too, to have secreted near the polls a bottle of party alcohol to influence the voter In harmony with the beverage. , All this will disappear henceforth and the fiery demon will have no Influence over the votes of the people. One can conceive of no greater liberty than to be freed from the domination of the saloon- Really, while that lasted this was not a democracy; it was chained to a thralldom that pressed upon men at every point in their lives. The candidates used to have to spend large sums in rlsitin.5 the saloons and the brewery owned saloon was an American curse. If the liquor men had kept clean of politics, saloons would be open today.

REMEMBER? President Wilson's direct appeal to the Italian people ver the heads of their official representatives was not without precedent. In 1915 Bernstorff spoke directly to the American people in warning them not to sail on the Lusitania,

AN UPSTANDING ENGLISHMAN. In a fpeech before the Royal Colonial Institute, Manchester, England, recently, Lord Milner, secretary for the colonies, exhibited a brand of British nationalism which explains why England is the leader today in the council of the nations, and makes the average American blush for shame that our representatives at the peace conference betray such a spineless attitude ia support of the interests of the greatest republic in the world. , Speaking: of the relations between Great Britain and her self-governing colonies. Lord Milner declared": "No amount of affection and good will between the several states would enable the British Empire to exercise Its proper influence in the world unless we maintained the means of planning and of acting together as one power. We must cultivate the wider patriotism, the sense of our common citizenship in this superstate, by every means in our power. We must strive to multiply and strengthen those invisible but all-powerful bonds- If there were no such thing as a tariff the principle of preference would still hold good, for the Idea at the root of It is that we are a family, a family of nations, and that in all our policy and dealings the Interest of a family should come first. A man is not a less good citilen because he devotes himself to the interests of his own family. "I maintain that it is not necessary that because an Englishman believes, as I myself believe, from the bottom of my heart in fair dealing between nations and in the essential solidarity of all human interest, he should therefore go in for a washy internationalism and pretend to care as much about the welfare of Paraguay and Bolivia as he cares about the welfare of Canada, South Africa, Austrlia and New Zealand. It may be very wick

ed of me, but I do not care as much. I want to see the resources of every part of the empire, in-so-far as they are needed for the development of that part, devoted i strength and prosperity of all the other parts. I feel not exclusively, but first and foremost to build up the strength and prosperity of all the other parts. I feel that about emigration, the investment of capital, and a score of other questions with which 1 have daily to deal and for these reasons 1 take so deep an interest in the work of the Royal Colonial Institute." , And the principles which Lord Milner enunciates are those subscribed to by the vast majority of the British people comprising the British Empire. Similar principles awaken a warm response in the hearts of the American people when enunciated by the champions of American nationalism, but they find not the faintest echo in the hearts of Woodrow Wilson and his school of internationalists, who apparently more vigorously espouse the causes of despotic Japan, or Bolshevik Russia than those of the country which gave them birth.

One might easily foresee the dominating influence of the British Empire in a League of Nations in which she possessed six votes and measureless supremacy over other league members. Milner is not "very wicked." Out of the compromises between nations grow the great pood to humanity in general. Internationalism submerges the type to the level of the lowest. When the transcendentalists and charlatans have been dispersed and confined in their phantasmal asylums and red blooded champions of American nationalism are entrusted with the destiny of this land we will once more take our place in the vanguard of nations.

INGRATITUDE. After helping France out of a bad fix, we have undertaken not only to limit her action at the peace table, but have insisted on her becoming a party to a League of Nations of British-Wilson manufacture. Fortunate for us that after France helped us out of a bad fix during the Revolution she did not bind us to a League of Nations in which Great Britain would have six votes to our one.

REMEMBER THE FIREMEN.

Passaic, N- J., holds annual memorial services in honor of local firemen who have lost their lives in the .protection of life and property for the city. .Surely no public servants are more worthy of tributes of respect than these heroes of peace, for nothing is more hizardous than firefighting and no wound more agonizing than a burn, while death by fire is something to make The bravest shrink. In spite of all this, there is seldom any public memorial service for the firemen of a community. If they lose their lives, the flag on the city hall is put at half mast, and that is about all the attention that is paid. This is not because communities are heartless or uuappreciative, but just because every public institution must have its start in the activity of some individual. Every city owes its debt of gratitude to its fire-laddies. Why not take up the Passaic idea, and establish a regular day to pay respect to living fire-heroes and tribute to the dead?

BEGINNINGS. Today we regard the seaplane NC-4, in which Lieut. Commander Read and his crew of five men made their voyage to Europe, a wonderful craft. We marvel at the spread of its wings, the power and perfection of its engines, its ability to cruise on water as well as in air, and all the ingenious apparatus which has made this memorable achievement possible. , Very likely the ships in which Columbus first crossed the Atlantic were also regarded with great admiration, though there was less novelty about them than there is about this new air craft. Certainly they were as good ships as could be obtained for that great adventure of the fifteenth century. And the largest of them was a vessel of 100 tons and the smallest was only 40 tons. In size they were comparable to modern sailing yachts. wM sailing efficiency they were almost inconceivably inferior to modern sailing craft. And just tnink of them a moment in comparison with the ships many hundred times larger now crossing the Atlantic. When the teamship Savannah made her pioneer voyage across the Atlantic in 1S19, she was considered the last word in nautical efficiency. She had a 90-horse-power engine and was rigged with sails to use in case the engine broke down. Her paddle wheels were made to fold up on deck when not in use- They were out of commission during IS of the 30 days required for the passage. '4 Some day we shall think the marvelous NC-4 ridiculously small and crude, as is the way with all beginnings. May not the future air craft be to thi3 seaplane as the Savannah was to the caravels of Columbu3, or as the modern ocean liner is to the Savannah?

TREAT THEM LIKE TRAITORS. But, as we have pointed out before, while the real barrier to the spread of Bolshevism in America is the common sense of the American people, it is the part of decency and justice and patriotism to treat the followers of the red flag exactly as we would treat traitors. For that is what the real followers of the red flag are, traitors to the ideals of the country, traitors to the flag and traitors to the soldiers of America who have given heir lives to save liberty for the world. The red flag is the symbol of sedition, revolution, anarchy, and anarchy i3 hell. And in the new America resulting from the war to make the world safe for democracy there is no room for such hell-raisers, says the Uniontown, (Pa.) Herald. To wave the red flag anywhere upon the soil over which the flag of Washington and Lincoln flies is an insult to every true American. There is only room for one flag in the United States- , Let us treat the disciples of Bolshevism, the wavers of the red flag in this country exactly as they should be treated.

It IS observed that every careful man who discusses the amended constitution of the League of Nations qualifies his comment by the remark, "if the published text is correct," or words to that effect. When shall we ever have assurance that we have a correct copy?
