THE RUSSIAN DEBT. Apologists for the Russian soviet trovrnment always speak of the Russian debt as if ; were non of that country's rrerent concern and a? if any burration of Its future rnymrnt v:tr unworthy or criminal. A pood d?al ha3 been said about the mattrr lately In connection with Franco's outspoken hostility to the bol.hrvlst system. The charge is mid that Franc, in '.icr diplomats war Pgalnst l:clfehcvl5m, is actuated bimply by s fordid desire to Eft her money back. It would not be strir.cre !f such a motive did play considerable part in Frn?h policy, .since the French people are the principal holders of Ruysian bonds, und France Ls impoverished by the war and almost hopeless of pt-t tir.ff compensation from Germany. The French would naturally like to pet back some cf the ten of billions of francs th-y lent Russia in pood faith. Cven Frenchman, however, must realize that France has already had considerable l-encflt rut of those loans. A larp1 rr- of the money went to the creation and Fupr.ort f,f the Russia n nrmlfs rxrly In the pre;ent war. when Russia plaved fo noble a part in drawing the German tire to the ?ast and softening the blow thit foil upon France. Natural pratitude for the past niipht influence France to forgive hilf that debt if there were any a.'surajico. of ever getting the rest. r.ut as far as Russia herself is concerned why this a!n assumption that the Russian people have no moral obligation whatever to repay it? True, much of it was spent for purposes in which they had r.o voice, and much of It was stolen or t0.ua ndered foolishly. Still, in all probability, the preater ran of it was ured in buildinp up and strengthening Russia, holdinp her territory' together and defending her arainst her enemies. If the Russians do not want F.usria held tou'ether now. aionp the line, of the policy set forth in Sec'y Colby's recent note and agreed lo by France; if they are wlüinp to see their country partitioned amor.p foreign, nation.- a:i rival domestic leaders, perhaps there is r.o lccral or moral way to hold them to the oblipMion. Fui if they want Russia maintained in it-; territorial intrprity as it was under the czars, to mike a preat. free reptit-lic, urely they oupht to honor the debts incurred by th czars in treating lt.

THE TENNESSEE RATIFICATION. The povernor of T nnesee ha- r-rtitio 1 the Tennessee ratification of the föderal ufl'rae amendment to the secretary of state and the secretary of state will proe'.'iim, the ratification to the people. Kfforts of anti-suffragists to block the cert.fication by court injunction, have been righteously t-ubjecied to the same processes of legal hindrances as they, themselves resorted to. V cani o: presume to i.a- upon the laus of Tennessee, but in most s:at. s the povernor would have snapped his finper in the face cf the courts, and the injur.itiin would haw leen .i'.srccarded anyhow.

r considered and set aside it? automatic order. The "aw was later he!d unconstitutiona!. and tb governor respected the decision, but he was no, to be retrained in any such summary manner, and the court or. reconsideration, apparently considered him rlht. The whole effort of the anti-suffragists ha been f n evidence of hal'ow-bralr.r dnes, in this connection, to begin with. There has never been any Question since the U;.-:iture ratified the amendment, rftrard!es of court proceedings, but that the vonen would vote in November. Even with an adverse decision, and that dec.sion promptly appealed to the United State t-uprerrte court, as it would have beer, and expedited before that tribunal, there is hardly .a doubt in the light, of the court's ruling oa tu Oh;o casei but that the Tennessee con-

ter!on would r-e ever-ruld and ratification approved. Th po.nt a itsue is practically the um as in Or. io. There it nas contended that ratiflc4tion of the suffrap and prohibition amendments wan lncomp, V r t. ithotr s-ibmi-.-ion to a referendum under th :ä? ronstirution. The supreme court held that the federal cor.s'Ututicn pre.-crlbed the. manner oC ratif ition hy the 1 pi-lature. or by conventipn. but rr.ade r.o r"ii::rmfnt for a referendum afte. ra.ti firatlon by a !-pilature. The Tennessee argument is that the state c6n?titution requires that no amendments shall b- ratified except by a legislature elected on that Issue. The federal constltutirn r-.ake3 no qualifications, and unless the United States supreme court discovered a greater distinction than is visible at this time, thrc ran be practically no question thit the Ohio decision would govern the suffrage proceedings in Tennessee if appealed. The proper courre from the etart would hive been to go ahead as though ratification wer duly effected, making every preparation, through assessment and registration, to permit th women to vote In November. Thxre is no reason why an appeal could not have been argued and decided btfore election. Should the federal court by any chance decided against s-ufprage on the point raised, the country could better afford to lose the money spent in preparing to qualify the women aa voters than to deprive the.m of that rignt through failure to be ready if the decision, as it is believed to be practically certain, should uphold the ratification by Tennessee.

THE BOLSHEVIK DEFEAT The counter-drive of the Poles against the RUiflan tolsheviki, who were almost upon Warsaw, only to be thrown back and started on a lorie retreat, revives strong hopes that th Ru?so- Polish struggle may be settled without involving other nations in the fighting. With such a come-back by the Foles. the Russians, who by thi time must be rretty tired of fighting and In no condition for a ti campaign, will scarcely attempt to dictate terms in the haughty mood they showed a short time ago. In the last few days it has looked more as If the rolea might do the (dictating. Such terrorism as that of the bolshevists is bound to blow up sooner or later. It is to be kept in mind that It got its terrorist reputation exclusively from attacks upon defenseless civilians at home; from assaults upon thore it should have protected. When opposed by an army it could make no headway except when it had overwhelming numbers. Calling a Russian a bolshevist has not changed him into an Invincible fighter. He can endure only so much hunger and fatigue, and then he is bound to be about as ready for peace as others. Whit we must be on guard against exaggerations, and must not build on peace until it comes, the reports yesterday read much as if the bolshevists are beins routed in disorder. At any rate, it looks vastly better now for terms that will afford a reasonable basis for peace discusfion. O-' - In deciding wnether to keep Mr. Harding on his front porch or to keep him on the road, the republican leaders act as though they were forced to choo?e between two evils.

Other Editors Than Ours

IT'S GONE GOOD lUDPANCL:. ( ImlLaiiaiMtUs Star.) Talkin- to the republican editors of Ohio the other day. sVn. Harding deplored the pasi'ng of the "partisan" nwfj apor and the growth of an independent pre?, foj-s.hly he va influenced to this expression by the character of his audience. Possibly Jiiif own verj definite views on party gov ernr.ur.t incline him to this rpinion. Evidently the sti.itor iiniUr-f.-timatr tho good that has com through tho tendency on the part of newspapers to respond les-s eioril to partisan control and to speak more freely as knowledge of facts and conscier.'Jous underfctanding impel them. 'The partisan new spa per." said the senator, "in irs. editorial expression, uttered the considered views of a large element of our citizenship, while the independent p'per is often the crgan solely of its owner or it i colorlessly neutral." Bat this is hardly a fa:r statement of the cae. Many a partisan newspaper i.tt.red the views of party leadership, of party ho.-st.- views too often fashioned wholly ly consideration for the interests of the dominant partv proup. Tivs'o views were dressed appealing!v ior the consumption of the rank and file. Untold fairs wer; sup; r sed or distorted. Reader-i were not helped to form intelligent opinions. It is true, tho evil was corrected in part by the confiict between party organs; but the correction was not thorough nor often wholesome. Partisanship answered partnership by misrepresentation and abuse. Retween them the truth is lost. The independent paper !s seldom colorless. A colorless newsraper has a hard fight for existence, whereas preat and prosperous independent newspaper? have developed in the United States largely through battlinc vigorously for policies and Ideals which they held irrespectively of party. Newspapers which do not feel they have a brief to defend every act of a political party to make black appear white and white black, are the best friends of the parties to which they lend support; Vut. more th.n that, they are the truest friends of America, and of the public yeal No newjpaper has a greater duty than to help its readers to think intelligently on public questions. To do this, it must be non-partisan in its presentation oL,the news and sufficiently non-partisan in its interpretation of the news to give scope for the exercise of its own intelligence freely and conscientiously.

More Truth Than Poetry

By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

THERE'S A REASON. A critic bewail the fact that poets no longer write love poetry.

In bygone days, when bards wore bays And twanged their lyreB in bowers shady. With toilful pains they fashioned strains In praise of some exalted lady. But girls are queer, and though sincere The poets' love, and soft their rhythm; Though tlll we quote the lines thoy wrote. They never won a lady with 'em. A maid would smile and blush the while The gentle lyrist sang about her. And in her eyes the tears would rise. To think he could not live without her. But when the lay had died away In rippling echoes, low and mellow. Her handkerchief would quench her grief And she would wed some other fellow. A var rolled round nnd nwtj

That lay on hearts forlorn and

With hours on end that they can fpend Atttiidine baseball games and races. And ma Ids high hern no longer fcorn. The halladist with sneers satiric. In courting Janes this truth obtains: Tho rash is mightier than the lvrie!

WHAT'S IN A NAME

J'acts about our narre: Its history: its meaning; whence it was lericel; its sis ui lira net : your lucky (lay and lucky jew I. BY MILDRED MARSHALL.

UITLU. The delightful little namo of Effie. which signifies "fair speech." came into vogue in Scotland at a very early stage in the etymological history. In modern times it is regarded as a contraction of Euphemia, but it had no early asrociation with the longer name. It c.ims originally from the name Aoiffe, which has proved the. progenitor -t so many of our modern feminine names. "Elfie of Scotland" is a term frequentlj' used in the history of feminine nomenclature. Though the Highland version of the name

is now Aolrig. Effie spreads to other !

countries through the evolution of Aoiffe- into Affricu. In the beginning of the U'th century. Affrica. daughter of Fergus of Galway. married Claus the Swarthy. Kint; of Man. and her daughter Effrica married Somerled, Thano of Ar.yle and Lord of the Isies. Africa is still used as a feminin name in Ireland. Aoiffe was the wife of Cuchullin in the Ossianic poetry and Evir Allin and Evlr Coma were both famous in the history of those early times. Lttie. on the other hand, passed directly over the Scottish border into England where it sained instant fame and is still ranked among the most popular English feminine names. The beryl is Ertie's tjlismanic stone. It ls believed to ho a lucky stone for those who sing or use their voices for dramatic expression, sinc

it gives clarity and strength and !

fluency of tone. Thursday is Effie's lucky day and 5 her lucky number. (Cnpvright. 1320.)
