merely because a council, dominated by foreigners, advises it? , . As a matter of fact, does not Article 21. instead of protecting the Doctrine, not only turn It over to the league, but extend special protection to "regional understandings" between European and Asiatic countries as to the disposition of territory? Why should the United States undertake "to secure and maintain . . equitable treatment for. the commerce" of Hedjaz, Serbia, Siam. Czecho slovakia, etc? Why should amendment of the covenant be made so difficult, requiring the unanimous vote of the council ad well as a majority of the assembly. Would not that restriction practically preclude the United States from ever securing any change in the language?

FEDERAL AUTHORITIES SHOJJLD ACT. The sad funeral of the three riot victims at East Hammond this morning is directly caused by agitation. Threats against the Hammond police Individually and collectively, are being made by friends of these misguided men. Intemperate language and revengeful boasts are extremely dangerous when expressed In a city where law and order will prevail at all hazards. If there had been no agitators there would have been no disorder. If the agitators at the Standard Insist on stirring up these men who are unfamiliar with the English language there will "be more disorder, -with disorder will come more bloodshed. If the federal government did its duty, these alien agitators and Russian Reds who are inflaming the East Kimmcnd populace- would be deported.

LIGHT WANTED. Here are a few questions the people expect the president to answer before he concludes his tour of the country In providing means of withdrawal from the league, why waa rot a clear-cut provision Inserted that a nation may withdrew at the expiration of two years' notice? In the language in the covenant which provides that a member nation's international obligations must be fulfilled before it can withdraw does not mean what it says, why was it included at all? " Why should euch countries as Liberia, Cuba and Panama, for whose very existence the United States is responsible, be given an equal vote in the assembly with thlj nation? Why was ihe secretary of the league given power to appoint all his subordinates? As he is an Englishman, cannot the- national inclinations of the league's personnel be pretty accurately forecast? So far as America Is concerned, would not the proceedings of a league at Geneva, 3,000 miles away, be practically behind closed doors? Does not Article 10 of the covenant specifically obligate this country to protect the territory of all other member nations? Under the terms of Article 11 cannot any Incident, either foreign or domestic, be called to the attention of the league by a single nation on the ground that it threatens to disturb the peace? What 13 there in any paragraph of the covenant that specifically reserves to the United States the right to regulate immigration, tariffs and coastwise trade? Is not complete discretion left with the council to determine whether those matters are within the' Jurisdiction of the league or not? Why should the United States be obliged to proclaim boycotts against a friendly nation merely because it may bave offended some foreign state? What American wants to send his boy to war against a country with which we have no quarrel whatever,

NEW THOUGHTS ON A TIMELY TOPIC. We notice in a neighboring publication a letter which bears on a subject very close to the hearts of a people who re about at their wits' end in an effort to make the pay envelope eke out the high cost of living. The letter reads: . President Wilson's bill for the expanses of his trip to Paris is an Interesting document, especially the items, "Fuel, heat, light and compressed air, $2O,03S"; confidential expenses, $13.5ST." and Purchase of automobiles, $14,602." It certainly must be a source of great satisfaction to the people who did without things to eat and wear in order to subscribe to the Liberty loans to know for what patriotic purposes their money has been spent. Wilson is said bv his admirers to be "a second Lincoln." Imagine, if you can, Abraham Lincoln deserting his post of duty at Washington and going to Europe to settle the affairs of the wofld, and with a retinue of more than 1,300 hangers-on, military iind civil, running up bills of $14,914 for "subsistence." $128, S2S for "food and hotel supplies," and J3"7.T20 for "rents' " and this, too, at a time when the sovernment is so hard up as to be obliged to assess a tax on ice cream, soda water and cor nplasters. The next time you pay your tax on any of the above articles, Just remember that you are contributing-for the "compressed air" used at Paris and you will not regret the expenditure. The expenses of the Paris affair are already more than $1,250,000, and the president wants congress to appropriate $S25,000 more to complete the job! This will make a total of $2,075,000, or enough to have paid President Lincoln's salary for eighty-three years. Such an outrage on the public will make luDrn anarchists in this country than all the speeches of Debbs, Berger and Germer could make in a century.

A REPUBLICAN PROPOSAL.

To Senator Miles Poindexter. of Washington, is to

be credited the first move in attempting to bring capital and labor together in conference, and to him should go the credit for its initiation. As long ago as June 17th he introduced a resolution in the senate for holding this conference, and many of the conferees proposed by hin in the resolution are now on the president's list of those who will be requested to attend. Mr. Wilson had been abroad nearly 6even months when Senator Poindexter introduced his resolution, and, according to the president's own confession, he had gotten out of touch with conditions at home . An attempt is now being made by th-? administration, through the medium of its vast press agency ,to take upon itself credit for having suggested and brought about this conference between capital and labor, and. doubtless, whatever good may be achieved by the conference will be credited to Mr. Wilson by his publicity writers. But the fact remains that, the idea was of Republican origin. Mr. Wilson appreciated its value.

STARTS OUT TO RAISE FIVE MILLIONS FOR DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN EXPENSES

William D. Jamieson, director of finance for the Democratic national committee, has set himself the task of raisin? a minimum of $5,000,000 from l.OoO.OOO people to run the pirty's 1920 campaig-n. In 1912 letween seventy-five and eitjhty-fiv thousand people subscribed ?1,100,000. In the 1916 campaijrn 300.00C people gave two millions and a half.

PROBABLY that unclassified bird that stunned itself trying to fly into a hospital for the Insane in New York is some kind of a loon.

THAT theological student who threw a bomb at the Egyptian premier has not benefitted much from his study.

THAT millionaire cub reporter in New York is enough of a curiosity to be exhibited for charity.

WHENEVER we find ourself in a treat c;ty like CHICAGO being shown th- sifc-hts by OUR nobler half "WE always fel ft kren speculative interest IN" wonder Just how soon we will be run over BY a strpot car or auto OR die a natural dath by overeating WITHIN the next hour. ANOTHER remarkable thins; IS how a man Is never anxious TO stay married THE vvr.y he is t" pet married. IF you accuse-a girl of bf ing n f.irt of COURSE she will deny it indignantly BUT Just th' same she's really PROUD to think you thtr.k she is attractive ENOUGH to be considered a flirt. OF all the fiat things IN" this world flattery is '.he flattest BUT it takes some people AN awful long time TO find it out. WE den't know much BUT . we do know one old-fashioned

AVE often wonder why it is that A MAN who is sensible ENOUGH in other ways wi".l try to see HOW close he can gret to the DANGER line without stepping over it. ONE mystery Is why anybody with a PLEASANT home in which there ARE no flies, bugs or ants and where there IS clean table linen and CHAIRS should ever want to go picricking. ABOUT the only WAY we can get a proper conception OF what reallyt crowded conditions MEAN is to see a couple of extremely FAT friends on the front seat OF a little flivver.

circumstances, but those who will be satisfied wtih nothing less will find that they will be accommodatedSociety must protect itself against

ruthless radicalism if it is to continue to exist. In the United States we are not going to have a repitition of the folly that has been worked in Russia, where a lawless and blood-thirsty minority is imposing its will upon the majority. Those who want that sort of thing should go where it is tolerated. There is no apology necessary in behalf of the action of the representatives of law and order. The customary depreciation of the outcome of the clash between order a'nd disorder should be noticeable only by reason of its absence. For several weeks Hammond has been more or less terrorized as a result of the strike at the plant of a local manufacturing concern. At one time the state militia was sent there to maintain order.

sidered. There Jre the rights of employes who desire to work. There are the rights of the vast majority of the people who are not directly interested in the matters as issue, and there is the right of society, as a whole, to protect itself at whatever cost. At the present time there is no legitimate disagreement that cannot be adjusted by arbitration with the assurance that those who toil will get everything that rightfully belongs to them. Men are sympathizing with their fellow men and are insisting that justice be done. But there are those who are not willing to accept justice as the measure of settlement; there are those who are willing to risk all In attempting to enforce their demands regardless of the rights of others. Such men are treading dangerous ground. For some of them the path will lead to the cemetery, for some It vill lead to the penitentiary and for the rrajority it will lead to persoral financial loss and hardship. It is a a time for reason and counsel, not for violence on the part of those who are asking far things without taking into consideration the varied ways in which other interests ire involved. The nation and ts welfare and preservation are bigger than any one element, and the majority will be found standing for that which is dear to them if worst comes to worst. Minori-

SPEAKING OF TROUBLE

MUSIC doesn't always sooth the savage beast. News reports say Mexican bandits are charming singers.

CALIFORNIA announces a young goat that dances the "shimmy." Some folks hold it is a good dance for, goats.
