"It must have been galling." pays the New York Times, "to a man of His nature, working there (at Faris, where of course h-? HAD to go) for montb.3 for the good of his own country and the world, to feel that every illwilled man in public life was privileged to flout him in his absence." Yes. indeed, with nobody but Tumulty and McAdoo and Homer Curumings and Hitchcock and Jimham Lewis and John Sharpe Williams and the New York Times to stick up for him. There ought to be a law, or a constitutional amendment, or a Burleson order or something preventing any "flouting" of a president who write campaign letters, defines party issues and performs other duties not specifically prescribed in the constitution. The court journals should be allowed to call dissenting senators any name in the catalogue of billingsgate, but any mere outsider who talks back ought to be deported as an undes-irable, or have his tongue taken out or his fountain Pn confiscated. This is the true bolshevik doctrine; dis senters are counter revolutionaries and traitors: away

The sending of Trkulja. the Gary bank bandit, to the penitentiary to be pardoned after a few years is a gross miscarriage of justice because somebody felt sorry for

the young murderer. Is no one sorry for the murdered i

bank cashier? The frequency of these bandit raids in diferent parts of the country indicates that there is too much pity for these young degenerates. In Ohio two young lads, one eighteen and the other twenty, are in jail awaiting trial on the charge of robbery and murder. They had been conducting a scries of hold-ups and when a pose started in pursuit of them they opened fire, killing one detective, and seriously wounding another. Investigation has proved that each of these lads has a long criminal record in spite of their youth. But a review of the record shows that every time they were brought before the judge they were lightly sentenced; or, if sentenced to a long term of imprisonment, they were paroled as promptly as an easy-going system would allow. If they were fined, the fine was remitted. Now, facing a murder charge, they only say, "Oh w-ell, we'll get off after a little, anyhow." They have no sense of the serious nature of their crime, because their earlier dimes were dealt with too easily to awaken the slumbering conscience. They have no respect for the law which again has them in its toils, because in the past it has failed to impress them with Its power. Nobody wants to be hard on mischievous youth, but criminal youth for its own sake and the good of society must be treated with sufficient severity to instil a respect for the law-s by which society is governed. A decent man. a good husband and the father of four little children, lies dead. Two lads face the charge of his murder, because society failed in its duty and pursued a rolicy of leniency, which, after all, was the most unkind thing that it could do.

THE WAR TRUST. 'The league of nations," declares former Sena'o

Beverage, "is not a peace combination but a gigantic war trust and a war trust which requires America to spend most of the blood and the money for the benefit of the other members of the trust." Every reader of the league covenant is impressed by the force of Mr. Beverldge's description. I'nder i-s terms a group of nine men, catle.l a council, undertake the direction and management of all future wars. Every nation on the face of the globe is furbidden from asserting its independence and maintaining its honrr by force of arms. The penalty of disobedience is to have the armies and navies of the rest of the world mobilized under the orders of the council and hurled in an overwhelming deluge upon the people who, in the defense of their own rights, have offended the superstate. Every article of the league covenant teems with pro-

They are to formulate plans for a reduction of Ftmatnents, and after those plans have been adopted iht-y are not to be exceeded without the consent of th council that framed them. The council is to be the 'supreme, war staff ef the world, and as such can make such conilunjtlors of armies and navies as it may see fit, order them to any part of the world where it deems their services are needed, and compel them to fight against any nat nr and any people, entirely regardless of whether the nations represented in that, polyglot military force. have any quarrel with the object of their attack or not. In the process of waging its wars the council enn

FRANCE'S GREAT VICTORY. There is a prevalent disposition upon the part of a

class of politicians and newspapers in this country to criticize what they regard as France's dependent attitude tow-ard her allies. They think that in view of all the circumstances France should resume a more reliant attitude; that with the prestige of a great victory and her lost provinces redeemed, with the large reparation funds to come from

Germany, she can soon establish herself upon a foundation of enduring prosperity; that her recuperation ought .o be rapid. The victory of France ts not materially reflected in material results. Indeed, for France the triumph was rather pyrrhic than otherwise. Just about one more such victory and France would through the deadly process of attrition and 'annihilation disappear as one of the nations of the earth. France lost in French soldiers 1,400,000 killed more than her combined battle mortalities in her wars of three preceding centuries. And what her loss was in progeny exceeds her previous property war losses of a thousand

I years. i" Her ancient cathedrals lived to tell the storv that

though in the centuries past they had witnessed many invasions, it remained for the Prussians to violate and cfestroy them. Not only were her great Industrial centers laid waste.

a fertile agricultural region literally destroyed, her machinery all stolen, her livestock killed by the enemy and consumed, and her trade of great consequence annihilated for years to come, but millions of civilians, including women and children, w ere o brutally mistreated that it is doubtful if the present generation can regain much economic vlaue and efficiency. As for France's financial status. !n a general sense it is plainly one of bankruptcy. Her vast investments in Russia are lost for the present, perhaps permanently. Her war expenditures exceeded by may billions centuries of previous expenditures for military purposes. Her war debt has reached a figure where its orderly liquidation at par seems impossible. As for offsets to these war losses, there are the reparations to be exacted of Germany, which will not amount to half of the real destruction Germany inflicted, even if the agreed upon sums are ever collected. For it must be remembered that Germany is well night bankrupt in a financial sense. At best, it will be a long time before Germany can begin to make reparation to France in large 'sums, since Germany will have to rehabilitate her industry and commerce and earn the money with which to make such reparations. Germany is infinitely better off than France is. Her percentage of battle casualties is smaller, her territory was In no sense despoiled, her civilians were not sub

jected to outrages, her great industries were not destroyed, her farm lands were not ruined. Germany is even now ready for resumption, whereas France will have to aw-ait the slow process of recuperation which depends upon many contingencies of more or

fless uncertainly.

France is quite as dependent upon American encouragement and generosity to restore he rln time of peace as she was for them to save her In time of war. To withdraw such generosity now would mean to leave France prostrate and ruined. The truth of the matter is, the rehabilitation of all Europe must depend largely upon the ability of the American people to help. We might leave them to work out their own salvation, but it would ultimately ruin us to pursue that course. The 400,000,000 white population of Europe are by long odds the best customers we have for our products, and they will not be able to continue that profitable relation unless we help them to their feet so that they can produce and buy from us and sell to us. In any event, we need not be dazzled by France's victory. In a spiritual sense it was sublime; In a mora! sense it was inspiring; in a' military sense It was splen-

l did, but n a material sense France has been literally

ruined, whereas in a physical or human sense she has almost bled to death. France will not be able to proceed in the absence of material aid from the United States.

swallow the dose prepared for it by the nine wise men. Devastating, bloody war is the chief but not the only weapon at the disposition of the omnipotent, cauncti of nine. Economic force to a degree never before contemplated can be called into action to supplement the ravages of the council's military operations. A nation that has refused to abide by the decision of these nine potentates", and has resorted to independent action, is to be subjected to immediate and complete ostracism by the rest of the world. Its trade and financial relations with all other peoples will be immediately severed; all international intercourse stops at once; and the offending country is metaphorically held at arms length by the w-orld while the council's armies and navies cut its throat. Yet Wilson, Taft. et al, clasp their hands reverently across their breasts, and call to their countrymen. "Come unto us, all we who are war weary, and we will give you peace."

MARK BAGGAGE CAREFULLY. The vacation season seems a particularly useful time for people to be reminded that hundreds of pieces of baggage go astray every month because they are carelessly marked, or at any rate because the care exercised des not take into consideration the exigencies of railway traffic, says the Christian Science Monitor. An official of an important express company in the United States advises that tags should not be used if the proper marks can be written, nailed or pasted on the package; and that when tags are used they should be used in duplicate, and fastened beyond peradventure with wire or strong cord; also that old marks, which are responsible for a great deal of troubie, should be thoroughly got rid of. Individual care in this matter would save individual disappointment and often a marred vacation-

Despite its scope, Swift & Company is a business of infinite details, requiring infinite attention. Experienced men must know livestock buying with a knowledge of weight, price, the amount and quality of meat the live animals will yield. Each manufacturing operation must be done with expert skill and scientific precision. A highly perishable product must be handled with speed and care to avoid loss. Chemists, engineers, accountants, and other specialists are required to take care of our intricate problems. Alert wisdom and judgment must be used in getting stocks of goods into the open channels of demand through our four hundred branch houses. Branch house organizations must show activity and energy to sell at the market in i face of acute competition from other large pack. ., and hundreds of small ones. All these requirements of intelligence, loyalty, devotion to the task, are met in the personnel of Swift & Company. Yet the profit is only a fraction of a cent per pound, with costs at minimum. How can the workings of this delicate human mechanism be improved upon? Do you believe that Government direction would add to our efficiency or improve the service rendered the producer and consumer?
