PAYING THE. KAISER'S WAGES. nomocracy is not ? rampant in revolutionize 0-rm.ny that th- national asmtty ran not pravolv receive and rive ronid ration to h bill to reimburse William Hohnzo!!rrn to th-. ntmt of S-42.500.UOU "an a tot.il settlement for the civil list h lot ly forced ahdiration." Tho merest rt-f pect f ul recognition of thin r.ill or anything similar implies somwhat forcibly that the Gtn.nn people have lost their snse of humor or common ns.- completely. r-rhaps both, unless the bill it.self is put forward as an xampl of o.uiet humor. The offhand popular opinion in other countries would b that lr. this attracts e day of wid spread opportunities anö democracy a genius of Wilhelm'. arad would web-ome the freedom from the fitters of royalty and aristocratic intricu. lid on top th.- nmny millions h ha- cashed in several s.'f places, this $4-,ö0ffrt'i adds us('e.sly to a sum already . larire thaf at this ntcr Wilhelm ould not spend a tenth of it in bKitunate ways, and if h purposes illegitimate w.ns'.- of It in paths of political darknefs he would be incalculably better without. And so would the lerman pcopb-. whether they ',r revolutionary or unrepenera to. What, for instance, can Wilhelm. said to be broken In ppirit and shattered in health, want with such a pile of millions?.He cannot spend it in trae!, for he does not dare to move about K'irope and probably would be no more- amicably received in Asia, uhile Africa is too far from the line of communication.' I'.ut if this bi!l to pay the former kai-er such a h'Ufe sum of money to be taken from the people still experiencing the panps of hunger is not a piec. of German humor, it illustrates a rather complete loss of German horse sense. There is a possibility also that another alternative exists that, after all th German people have suff Ted through ilh-iiu. they still have a sneaking reverential aft", etion for him. and contempt for thnuelves. ABOLISH ARMY SERFDOM. UriK. Gen. Samuel T. Ansell. formerly t .de vivo-'-vte k'-ner..l of the army, and the man who the injustice of the Amer can court-martial kftem. sy: V.'e ;!11 neer riht another war sucee-f -! unless oonsres radically changes the np thcL l orvunia .ion and discipline m the ,ii nn ; rivl thl Applies particularly to th" coiirts-ioar-tirl.- " cft Aineric in public has teamed a .uood d--al in the la.st fev monihi about the pracUcal wotkir.4 of the present system. A sincere effort ems t V.iw been made by the army authorities, since the ni riiistice was signed, to nn. ip.it e the . erity of the sentences imposed during the war. It has boon impossible, however, to ren edy all :h- in.:ut:ce ;nder the present mode of procedure. Thous-tnd if the tindeterved ientencfs v : . alreadv served, in wnole or part, before rev:evi:iu' court vol .round to them Many of the wrongs cannot be rschlcd under the rrcsent law. Ai-i it is a s.i;r.incint commentary on the sys'eni th.it f;en Ansel' nna rol able to accomplish his reform work with.n th. orjciintzation. hat had to tae the army t do it. Gen. Ansell adds: -The whole system is o;:t of tune with o ir democratic eoverr.ment. Hir miiitary code was r.ken bodily from that of the l'.ritish back in 1 774: and the I -it:sh in turn took the. is from o'.i ttms when the soldier was but a serf.

LAW COURTESY EFFICIENCY. A troubled apartm.r.t hou-e il'.vi 11, r writes to his paper to inp.:ire about the i ral rights of thirdMoor occupants. He says in part: "Can the wife shak" a dustcloth into the air off the lack porch without beinc subject to am t ;.nd fine? How abo.U a dust mop? Can she sweep the porch off. or mut she pather the dirt and dispose of it some other way? Can she har.K rugs out to air without beating them that is. on the porch railtnir? It seems that every time she turns around the woman downstairs threatens arrest. Have we any rights as a third-floor tenant?" In thi.s particular case city ordinances provided that "no carpet, cloth, etc., shall be beaten or hun;' where particles therefrom will pass into any occupied premise." The third floor tenants were outside their leal righ's. They were even more out of hounds when common decency and community interest are considered. If there had been a fourth floor family a Krosfciy indifferent and careless about .ieir housecleaning activities, the third J'.oors would undoubtedly have been prompt in offering objections and threats. It is not onl very inconsiderate to shake dust and dirt into the open doors and windows and onto the porches f one's neighbors; it is also a proof of bad housekeeping methods. The efficient housewife, even in a one-family house, with a yard of her own separating her from her neighbors, does not shake dust out of her windows in these days. There are cleaner, more permanent ways of disposing of dust and dirt. CUBAN ELECTION REFORMS. The Cuban election laws -have hten overhauled and completely rewritten, and an American has done it; not however, an Indianian Maj. Gen. Crow der. who w as provost marshal general of the Cnited States army during the war. and who hand'ed the draft, was invited to the island for this purpose by the Cuban government. He spent four months there, and seems to have done a thorough job. He took the election machinery out of the hands of the political parties, as some of our states have lone. and put it in charge of the Judiciary, giving the party organizations it-presentation but no votes. Ho established a strier, corrupt practices act and made ii possible for any aggrieved person to get a square deal in an lection dispute. He brought all political organisations under statutory regulation, arranged for a census of voters and originated a plan whereby every voter will carry an identification card entitling him to ote without registration. Having returned to this country. Gen. Crowder might prohtably devote hi attention to extending the reforms lie has inaugurated in Cuba. There is hardly one of them that might not be adopted to advantage by some of our states. That identilnation device ,vo "ld probably make a hit with the average American voter, wearied of much registering, and might result in a better turn-out on election day. If that actors" strike lasts loner. it may be a knock-out blow to the "legitimate" theater business Theater -going is only a habit and with the movie hous.-s all open, the public may get out of tho habit of patronizing the other?. Why not government regulation of tips, too? In many restaurants a patron has to tip a waitei pearly as much ;;s the food bill amounts to, if he wants to net anything to eat. al The actors have gone on strike in Xew York and e'hioaizo. hut as yet they have not ked the Cnited States government to take over the .eater industry. Thev're ::-ir.ur bottles or milk to christen airplanes. And there's a certain fitness in that, for wasn't it a cow that jumped over the moon? "hie:tr. delicately calls its landlord profiteer "rent hogs. -' 'order what it calls its packers. J.AVIXG Tili: rol NPATIOX. (lly A. M. Simon.) The League of Nations is the only possible, the only proposed foundation upon which to reorganize a chaotic world. It may be imperfect. It is the insult of compromises between more than a scoie of nations; between impe rialism and idealism; befveen international financiers and international labor; between all the contbeting forces of more than a thousand years of Kuropean history, plus the orient and the Americas. : is almost as imperfect as wa? the constitution f the Cnited State when adopted. It too was a, Mt ies of comrromi'i v 1: was so negiectf'il of human rights that it was necessary immediately to amend it by the introduction of the whole bill of rights. It was so indefinite, and impractical that it conferred powers upon th-1 supreme ourt of which it? founders neer cire.im.d and provided for an tntire'y unworkable plan of electing the highest ofnc aal. Yet that impt i feet constitution prevented domestie violence, foreign conquest and a perpe'ual balkanization of America. The I.fague of Nations is the only thing to prevent dornt stic chaos :.nd violence in a score of states and Internationa 1 violence for ears to come. After these things, if not now, will come a league of Nat:ms. Why not now' Amendment is easier, than w-r and revolution. The Iifacuc is the one hope of a warick world. W.-ak or strong no other solution has beer, suggested The tallow -car.db- and. stage coach talkers In the senate and elsewhere who babble of "minding oar own business.'' avoiding entangling alliances." 'keeping awa from Europe," and similar antediluvian bromides are not suggesting aiternat.ves. Until we swap ' airplane for the sailing packet, tear down the u:'i"S5. cut the cables, abolish international trade and return to tne whole mechanical and industrial age of Washington. ?uch mixims do rot apply. Even if all else were evil the labor sections -Core would make the League worth righting for. These sections, all leferenci to which is avoided by th pretenuediy radical, really pro-bolshevik and partially pro-German, press. offers so safe a road for so. i.:! progr. s as to make sure that all traveling will be diwi'ed from 'lie robber-mf-eted and nuick-.-:i.d b : rv id of bc-'-hev ism " T'.i. siii-.a. bos the foundation of tr league of ,.(. ;.; s for w h'a h labor has askei.

More Truth Than Poetry By James J. Montagus.

THE ACTORS' STRIKE. Two gray haired parents sit in tears amid the gathering gloam; A whiskered sheriff knocked without he's come to take their home. He holds a mortgage in his hand, which, back in '17 The couple placed upon the farm to buy a limousine. And now the crop of hay has failed the price of gas is high. And there is nothing left for them but kiss the place good-bye. Dut hold I the wayward son walks in he's just about to cough The money that is requisite to pay the mortgage offAlas! the finish of the play must still be left in doubt A walking delegate appears and calls the hero out! A flaxen headed little child is playing in the lane. The villain, whom her fond mamma once spurned with deep disdain. To reap his . devilish revenge, abducts the tiny maid And ties her to the railroad track. Will no one come to aid? Yes! yes! We hear the train approach but with a pruning knife A farmer comes to cut the rope and save the baby's life. Will there be time? Our hearts stand still; the engine throbs and hums The ten-wheeled messenger of death each second nearer comes But ah! we never shall know what the denoument was like For just before the train appears the baby joins the strike! The hat check girl when tempted by the rich and aged rake ' Says rags are royal raiment when they're worn for virtue's sake, But when he buys the restaurant and throws her from her job, And she has starved for three long weeks she murmurs with a sob: "Ah me! forever must I face privation and despair, I'm going to the river side and drown myself! So there!" And does she carry out her threat? Does not yon gentleman Who hears her threat show up in time to thwart her awful plan? Who knows? The hapless maiden's end must always be uncertain She joins the Actor's Equity before the final curtain! (Copyright. 1919).
