.Wo' not Work for an Ideal in Peace Same as We Fought for an Ideal in Time of War

TWO cf the best things that have, ben said In Fcuth Bend during the pist week, have been paid with a r"fTenc to the embryo labor trOÜMM hero, and the lrgr labor difficulties that conf'ont the whole country. Neither of them were , a1i by either employers or by habor leaders. The ' Mlon of neither appear to have attained any such Hob Jone addressing the Klwar.Js club Thursday. U one o! tho rJllty Partie, and Charles Sielzle of j;cw York. addrr.'slng a rnasi meeting at the high rchoo! auditorium Monday nlirht, la the other. Dr. tc!zlo om-. first: 'You men. employers and employes alike, will ncv-r settle your differences, or be abl to work togf.lhtr In amity, until you have eliminated cl.ts.s jU'shnrss. found a common ideal. met on common ground, to work for that ideal. That is the way you worked toother to win 'hi- war. It Is the way the allied nations of the arth worked tog'thr to win the war. You likewise need a common ideal, and common ground, to work for In peace Just us the nations nerd It to live toother In peace." If you can't pet that tho first time, better read It again. You know what the common Ideal of all v.as In wartime; the common ground upon which rich and poor, employer and employe, soldier and civilian, made their light. Well, we take it, Hob Jones -ort of supgested the common Ideal, and common ground, for capital and labor In time of peace: "If you conduct your store or your factory merely for profit, or work at your counter or your lathe merely for ray. a servant only to yourself, inconsiderate o f the importance of your relation to society and duty to the social economy as producer and distributor, you are not tilling your niche in Cod's world, your obligations to your fellow man, nor proving your good citizenship." Pearls, perhaps, thrown to the winds, but sensibly enough, wo hopo that now and then a listener, and reader of this comment, may catch the spirit. We havo had altogether too much sneering at ideals frince the, armistice was signed; pneers thrown to the wind?, and wo ore now reaping the whirlwind. Just for the moment permit us to commend the two quotations to our readers, capitalists and laborers, and in-bet weens. Clvo them a Sabbath cf solemn thought. We are nil tryinqr to solve something. Maybe a little less personal selfishness and a little more respect for our social civic obligations will help. A square deal for the other fellow, as the thing uppermost in the mind of everybody, would pretty nearly mean a square deal for us all. AS LONG AS BOB JONES LASTS. m IG I IT Y good, indeed, it la of the city hall apgrejVl patlon, to have sent cut word to the brothels, blind-tigers and gambling hells: "Lay low, cr pet out of business while the IJob Jones revival laMs." Evidently the mayor and his hosts assume that there will bo no after effects to the Jones revival; that when the evangelist Is pone, everybody, including the pood church folk, will drop at once tick into their old rut willing to wink, countenance, condon? anything that is permitted, encouraped, or graftir.ply licensed under their own political party banner. If that is as much as the Hob Jones revival is to amount to. in the way of social or civic revitalization. the evangelist might better rack his tent, and like the. ancient Arab, quietly steal away. We must havo an aftermath of righteousness In South P.end, t merging first of nil from the church people, or h.will do Christianity more harm than pood with the i. on-church people. Hypocrisy in South P.end, a hypocrisy among socalled Christians wherein re'lgious mindedncss is subordinated to political minddne.s. and the Christian virtues are thrown to the winds as often as their maintenance interferes with partisan advantages, has become so dominant that, the church Is fast losing its Christian caste; exact".y the th.ing that Hob Jones must overcome, and overcome with a depree of permanence, if his j.resnce is to provo the worth of his fait. It Is this hypocrisy that places South Hend in Its l-resent Immoral statu.-, and exactly this hypocrisy which has led the city administration to think that it will go on forever; that It will revive as soon a the Jones tabernacle closes its doors. South Pend's churched population, bed-followed with the worst iee agencic of the city, despite all warnings, pave i:s the administration that wo haw. and that same population regardless of all moral appeals, hasteadfastly eschewed all effort to bring the admln'sfutlon to time Into keeping with its two-faced lamtalgn premies; that i with reference to the tare that was looking their way. "G-od's C-wn P-arty." ah yes! The mayor, his board of safety, police department and concession grafters. apparently feel sufficiently well protected by Christian lethargy, and subserviency to political lomlnance. that It will all come back, once Hob Jones Is cone; and maybe it will! Maybe U will! "VE TOLD YOU SO." FOIXOwTNrt the custom cf our Main st. contemporary. f appropriating to Itself enormous credit for everything accomplished that was ever touched uion In Its columns, permit us to pat ourselves on the back. "We have a letter from the South Hend Teachers' federation, for instance, which doesn't seem to indorse the Main st. claim that the aforesaid oracle was alone responsible for the recent salary Increase pranted by the board of education thanking us by unanimous vote "for the many splendid editorials written in support of the teachers' cause together with any other support given them," but this isn't the instance that we had In rr.Ind. Tho "we told you so" that we have been considering, refers to our contemporary's lead editorial of last Wednesday on the "Allies at San Ilerao." After mention of the meeting of the inter-allied supreme council and the changed conditions that confront it. with Germany determined "to nullify the allied victory" after much the same manner as the United States has refused to ratify it. quite t liiulrtln us from the conference, save through a

presidential Interest. our contemporary, "independent" republican, says: "An element friendly to Germany has shown itself in tho presidential primaries in thU country, betraying a desire of the Germans to favor a candidate who is against the treaty of Versailles." But why say "a candidate!" The slam is at Sen. Ill Johnson to be sure, and we do not know but he deserves it. but is tho honest opponent of the treaty any worse than the dishonest one; the demagogue who r.retends to want it, merely because he knows the people demand it, while at the same tlrm hedging it around with "assassinations" in the disguise of "reservations" Introduced for the purpose of humbugging that people? Nay, nay! Tho favoritism of the German-Americans hyphenates, is not for one candidate of the republican party alone, but for the republican party, und its whole palnxy of candidates, a favoritism bought by the attitude of the senate majority toward the Paris treaty, and backed by every republican candidate in the field, including some democrats. William Jennings Hryan and Robert L. Owen, as samples. Hut get this: "The tendency of the questions that may be considered secondary' to the issue of the treaty of Versailles Is to undermine sound opinion In the countries concerned and enable the Germans to promote their plans for evading tho treaty's requirements. The Big Three, therefore, must settle the main issue. It must decree that Germany must comply with all the provisions of the treaty under pain or further military occupation, except as she may be permitted fostponements and abatements in the orderly process provided in the document itself. Franco did exactly right in beginning to put the screws on her late enemy at the first sign of duplicity. Her allies must back her up." "We told you so!" But where is the slacker, "America," which, under republican domination in the United States senate, is to take no fart In such "backing up," or Insistence that Germany measure up to the treaty provisions? We are In Just as effective a position to do so, under the armistice, as we would be under the treaty with tho proposed Lea cue "assassinations" (er "reservations"), but read on: "A number of American newspapers are giving encouragement to tho Germans by sneering at the motives of tho recent French military demonstration. Their reasons for doing so are evident. Tho German element in our population is being wooed for commercial purposes. If it were possible for the people to see through the machinations of these prostitutes of the pres3 and punish them in proportion to their offense it would be a comfort to all the thousands of people who lo3t kin on the fields of France, men who fell in an effort to destroy the menace which these newspapers by their tactics are helping recreate. The San Hemo conference must make Germany como to time. And the United States must ratify the treaty, with league reservations, and bepin to help put the world to rights. We are breeding a war for our children's children more awful than the last." Again, "we told you so," only moreso. But why deride the newspapers? It is only republican propaganda that they are spreading, yes, "the German element in our population being wooed, "but not so much for "commercial purposes" as for political purposes, and ratification of the treaty, "with League reservations' (er "assassinations"), or tho advocacy of It, is Just as much a wooing of the German element, as no ratification at all. Our contemporary knows what the reservations were introduced for. and was against them, and for the treaty and the League without them, until party policy turned its head. They were Introduced to kill the League, as pro-German a move as has been committed by any individual in the nation, since the war was declared; pro-German in effect, at least, and Introduced for the wooing of the GermanAmerican vote. not for any particular candidate, but for the republican party. "Pro-German In effect," Is as much as could be said even of Eugene V. Debs, and possibly as much r.s ought to be said of Victor Herper; no worse for them than for Henry Cabot Ixdge, and his reservation brigade, the Hrutusesque conspirators behind the league controversy. Hvery reservation introduced has had for its purpose the transfer of our foreign relations under the league from the executive department to the United States senate, subjecting them to an avalanche of rag-chewing, oratorical nlncompoopery, and the machinations of politics exactly where Germany wants them. We havo had specimen enough of the probable result? since last June. The senate might well have set in Herlin. The supporter of the Lodge reservations, newspapers or curbstone pab-artlsts, are In the same category' ith their senatorial leaders. However, the next thing we know, like as not. cur esteemed contemporary in its chameleon dexterity, will be deserting its comment of .the other day. and come out for the German peace resolution low passed from the house up to the senate, ut as it has deserted its one time support of th treaty and League without amendments or reservations. When it does, remember "we told you so." Aside from which, read again its comment on conditions in Uurope and the Levant, due to the absence of the United States from Loapue membership, and from the San Hemo conference which is the result of the senate's world treason; all tho worse, not because of the Hi Johnson-Hill Borah irreconcilability, but because of the maior senatorial r e e r v a t i o r. ; s t h u m b 1 1 p p e r I e s . The issue is the Iapue cf Nations ns It stands or no league of nations. All that our contemporary says, we have sail repeatedly; except we are still f r the Iapue. and the Lejpuo as it stands, and have an inf.ni'ely preater respect for Hi Johnson ar.d Hill Borah, open opponents of it in toto. than we can have for the- demagogues who are trying to stradle. intent upon foo'inp the people, while beneath their coats they carry the reservationist's dapper. Intent upon accomplishing the JohnsonBorah result by sneaking indirection.

Have you noticed that in jll the campaigning of the republicans, they avoid mentioning the 68th congress as far as nossible?

"Why !" the Widow released her elbow, and sank back on the rustic seat beside th fountain, with a little gasp, "Mr. Weatherby! Are you era are you ill?" "Not a bit!" answered the Rachelor, dropping down beside her, and liphting a cigaret with perfect complacence, "I was only trying the 'cave-man' stunt to please you. Didn't that Spanish author say that a little bullying, a little rough treatment is what all ou women are secretly pining for?" "Blasen H anez!" exclaimed the Widow, the flag of battle flaming in her cheeks. "Don't you mention his name to me!" and she fluttered the long black ostrich plumes of her fan, indignantly. "I didn't." protested the Bachelor, "I can't pronounce it! But what

But. when it comes to stepping down off her throne and occupying a foot-stool, the American woman has held the domestic sceptre and the purse-strings too long " "You mean they've been too darned spoiled!" broke in the Bach

Here, we have the most chivalrous and loyal lovers, and the most devoted and best-trained husbands in the whole world! And he comes over and tries to drop a Spanish fly in our cup of Joy!" "There, there!" soothed the Bachelor, "He's taken it all back and said he didn't say It, and apologized for it, and " 'Taken it all back and said he didn't say it!' " repeated the Widow scornfully, "Isn't that just like a man, to give two alibis just in cajso we don't care for one of them? But it doesn't matter whether he said it or not a lot of poor, foolish men will take it seriously, and go right homo and attempt to act on his advice,! And Just think what will happen to them!" "I shudder at the vision!" said the Bachelor closing his eyes and lazily blowing smoke through the leaves of the potted palms, "I suppose that will depend on which side of the town they inhabit. If they live on the wrong side, they will bo quickly cured by the simple tap of a rollingpin or a flatlron. But if they live on the; on the sophisticated side " "They will be Just as qu.kly and permanently cured!" broks in the Widow, with icy sweetness, "Andaluslan and Castilllan beauties may sigh for tank-corps methods of wooing and yearn for heart-bruises as proof of a man's love; but the Beauty As Factor In Ba by A doption Cuts Little Ice IY ARTHUR RETD. A baby bureau in New York has Just announced with solemnity befitting the outgiving of important news that "the pretty baby holds little advantage over the homely one in tho matter of adoption." There is a bit of speculation as to tho why of this, which presumably is regarded as an anomaly, but the guesse3 are wide of the mark. There is. in truth, nothing mysterious about the fact stated. Love gives the impulse to adoption. Love sees all babies as beautiful. The dovottd mother finds beauty in every feature of her child's face, no matter hew distorted it may be. People who would adopt babies are devoted in advance of the selection of the child. They get a pretty one, whatever it may look like to the less blessed in spirit. So there really Is nothing to wonder at In tho leadinesa of pcoplo to adopt homely infants. They are not homely. But it one were inclined to apply the cold rules of reason to the selection of babies for adoption it may be cuestloned if pretty ones would be more favored. A pretty face In Infancy may bo otherwise in later years. There Is no certain formula for picking the babies that will become handsome men and beautiful women. One so plain as to border on the repulsive has as good a chance of developing entrancing features as another that wins every' visitor by Its Infantile pulchritude. You never can tell what a baby will become, either as to appearance or character. It is that uncertainty which makes the willingness of many people to adopt strange children one of the outstanding human phenomena. In the baby adoption lottery you have two chances. You get either a well of comfort or a bundle of misery. But the prizes are .all beautiful, for love directs the drawing and love sees no other kind. Only unimpeachable accuracy can put sense in the census. Wonder what effect a "hunger strike" by the American people would have on the general situation? After all, it Is the people who consent to be pouped who put the profit In profiteering. No longer Is It a question of what one earns, but of what one wants; and. of course, none will take less. Chicago had the lowest death rate last year of all large cities of the world. Where have the gimmen gone? The Modern Language association is of the opinion that reformed spelling i a misnomer. It refers to it as deformed. Tho party of 100 congressmen, i who are going to look over Hawaii j and the Philippines to learn what legislation Is needed, are also doubtless aware that it will constitute a pleasant trip.

The Widcw smiled and leaned back, lazily fanning her?elf. "Our men are nice!" she said, with a sigh of deep satisfaction. "They're born nice in the first place; and trough': up that way by their mothers ar.d kept that way by their wives, until they die." "Like little canary birds." Jeered the Bachelor, "accustomed to the ease and wouldn't fly away from it, even if they had a chance!" "Don't ycu dare cast aspersions on the American man!" exclaimed the Widow, Fitting up with flaming cheeks, "You don't suppose the American man treats women like queens because he has to, do you ? He does it, because he wants to because he is so big-hearted, and broad-minded and tender and peneroup, that he never imagines that bullying a woman makes him a 'hero.' He would no more stoop to brow-beat his wife, than he would to to pinch a baby! If he wants to shov his prowess If he wants to fight, ho picks out somebody his own size the Germans or the kaiser, or something!" "And then poos homo, and lets pome little two-by-four pull him around by the nose, and walk all over him, f,nd think up things for him to do!" scoffed the Bachelor.

"It's a woman's world!" murmured the Widow smiling complaeently as she adjusted one slender .' t shoulder strap over a snowy .-houli der.
