WHERE WE STAND. A "preliminary conference" on Pacific and Far Eastern questions would be contrary tt tiio spirit of the nje. Our government 'will nut consent to one. If tho British and seine other persist In their (iemaml nnd carry out the project against the withes of President Harding and Secretary Hughes, the whole enterprise, fraught with possibilities of universal good, may be wrecked: The proposal for a preliminary conference to which hould be admitted only representatives of powers having particular Interests in the Pacific and Far East rings sinlaterly. In bald terms it Is a bid lor secret negotiations, secret bargainings .-end secret settlements without consideration of common rights or principles of Justice. It Is an attempt to force the Old World diplomacy, erer fruitful of wars, on the United States of America. CS;uld it succeed we might never know until the bargainers quarreled over the spells precisely m-hat had been done; the Harding called conference would be but a ratifying ugen', ratifying what the strong were able to compel the weak blindly to accede to. The imaginations cf peoples have been etirred. their hepes buoyed higher than ever before, by the openness with which the American government hae proceeded in this business. XetMr.fi. lib? een concealed. The world has witnessed the Jesuits of an international spokesman shouting from th? hovce tops for "open covenants openly arrived at" and then locking: himself up with a choice few masters of statecraft and bargaining away public rights in secret. President Harding will net be a party to anything like that. We are going into this thing with pure purpose and we shall come out of it with honor unimpaired. Tf the others Invited are not willing to discuss the problems cn their merits and settle them on a basis of justice, the enterprise would better be given up.

luxury the supreme delight if we only knew how to t-nioy ourselves? Surely the lot'cf the toller cannot be all hardship if the "oil king" prefers that which to bo many is the most poignant grief of & long list of catalogued woes.

HA, EDISON EXPOSED! The camera tairlos realm to. its limits. It reveals ivitutlessly some thing which the human object on which it Is focused might prefer to leave unrevealed. The writer of fiction selects his material according to what purpose he haa in mind, and he enipiiusizen the details which suit this purpose. The brush of the painter may often soften features that need softening, or it may slight altogether features that are not desirable in what the artist wishes to represent. P. ut the camera is inexoritble. When Oliver Cromwell teld his portrait painter: "Paint me as I am.

warts and all," he anticipated the function and nature

ttf the camera. There is no deception about this little instrument; it tells what it sees through its glass eye, end it tells nothing more or less. Therefore it is often a destroyer of ideals. Take the case of Thomas A. Edison. No one knows exactly how the stories about this man's capacity for work originated; no one knows how much of this fact, and how much fictiou. Who has not carried about with him from his childhood days a mental picture of Mr. Edlscn always at work, always devising, always inventing. From sun-up and before, to sundown and Rfter he Is busily at work, winter and summer seasons in between t.hus we have pictured Mr. Edison. This restless Wizard of Menlo Park believes neither in food nor drink nor sleep only in work. This is the Edlscn of our Ideals. Ru'le awakening follows then when the camera registers an ominous click and developed negative reveal Mr. Edison .-deep nnd in the daytime. The snapshot taken recently during his outing in Maryland shows him asleep in a forset, as peacefully as the Pabes in the Wood. No sign of restlessness here; he looks as if he enjoyed every sleeping second cf It. as If he never wanted to do anything else in the world but take noonday naps and Blumber the long night through. The camera has revealed something which this man's biog, raphers have kept from us. Let all who are weary and tired rejoice even Thomas A. Edison sleeps sometimes.

FREEDOM OF THE SEAS.

RO CEEFELZ.ES, gets up at five. Though covetousness is denounced in the moral law it probably is indulged by more people than practice any other sinfulness, lying alone excepted. We fancy, tco, that a great many people who would not tell an antrnth are covetous, covertly if not openly. At any rate. It appears to be a universal habit to want what somebody else possesses, though not necessarily to the point of wishing to deprive the mere fortunate one if he actually be fortunate of anything that is his. While discontent with the uneven distribution of that which we call riches commonly manifests Itself in a wish to take away from those who have, we think it quite likely that most of us would be satisled to let thera kep theirs if we only could get what we might regard a3 an appropriate share for ourselves. Yet what is there really worth while that the "idle rich" possess which the "toilerB" might net also enjoy. What do you suppose most of the malcontents would do first, Ji they could do as they please, in aping those whem they think they hate because it is their privilege, seemingly, to do what they like? Is it not a fair guess that tlie most of us consider the very peak of luxury the right to lie abed after the alarm clock has tinkled its warning that if we den't get up now we will he late for work and may lose our job? It is this business of having to get up when we want nothing tlse so much as to stay between the sheets That causes so many to liken themselves to slaves. Yet there may be genuine luxury in turning" out when the first streaks of dawn brighten the eastern sky, or a yttle' before, maybe. We are of a mind to ponder this almost inconceivable possibility by the published report that John D. Rockefeller, tEe richest man in the world, gets up every morning at 5 o'clock. What do you think or that? Mr. Rockefeller assuredly can do as he pleases, if any American can. There is no material luxury beyond his reach, unless his good fortune has been vastly overestimated. May it not be that early rising, is a

"Freedom of the seas" may become a live subject once more, for now comes the United Suites shipping board with a package of admonitory words to liri'ish authorities that is nothing short of a challenge. This i. of course, no direct question of our freedom to sail the seas tho trouble is that the Urit'sh seem to have devised a scheme to prevent American ships from employing that right to advantage with respect to certain cargoes. It seems clear that freedom ofthe seas is an empty thing if it is still possible for one nation to discriminate against another in the getting'of business. As revealed by the news of the "serving of notice" on the British, the latter have adopted regulations covering contracts for carrying Egyptian cotton from Alexandria to the United Kingdom and the United States that amount to unfair treatment of American vessels. Put this is only the "test" case. We gather that there is a combination of shipping interests almost worldwide In extent whicTi refuses to recognize the United States shipping board as a factor in making decisions covering ocean transportation. In other words, the axiom "there is no sentiment in business" ha3 been brought forth and set to work. The others are against the newcomer, which is us. In the shipping trade. We ore not to be allowed to take cargoes of Egyptian cotton on favorable terms, fhat Is, on terms as favorable as those accorded to British ships and, presumably, these under some other flags. There may be no "open market." or rate war, as threatened by the hlpping board, in case its lust grievance is not remedied. The board, we may be sure, will be reluctant to Invoke the retaillatory measures authorized in the Jcnes shipping act. But it is necessary to let the world know that America will stand for her rights Kfcd that she has means of enforcing them. The shipping board has taken the proper preliminary steps.

A WASHINGTON writer eays Harding Is a good poker player. Here's hoping, then, in this disarmament conference, he isn't tricked into breaking a pat hand, something which happened in that little game at Pari!

LORD NORTHCLIFFE is sore at Lord Curzoa because an invitation he had to dinner in the British embassy has been recaled. Failure to get a good meal for cothing' these days is enough to vex anybody.

SMOKING of cigarettes will never be taken up generally by women until some practical way is found to change the style of them about twice a year.

IT IS EVIDENT that our British visitor. Lord Northcliffe, has no use for a press agent. He can do all that is necessary along that line, and then some.

THOSE European nations invited to the Washington peace party should remember that it is the host who fixes the date.
