H is scared out of his wits by Johnson, Uorah and the irrooru üables. Ho Is mor? afraid of them than of William Howard Tif. ('..urge W. Wickersham, VAWwi Hoot, Charles Iauhs Hughr:. How th-.-- men will bo abl to ge along farther with him, having asserted f.,r him that ho has not infant, what ho now says h? means, is the next conundrum to ho worked out. If they try i'. They must, to follow Mr. Harding farther, "scrap' thdr word, and if they have been honest about It in .he past, "scrap" their consciences; ditto, their announced Judgments. Thro Is no question about It now. It requires an all too gullible public, even among the moat astute partisans, to accept such eliamertloal alternative s as that pnsented by Mr. Harding that ho intends to "scrap" the league, and Mr. Taft's assurance that ho means to have It ratiici with clarifying reservations; swallow them both in the same gulp. Mr. Harding frankly asserts now that he has no uso for reservations or clarifications, and declares that ho never did have. To us it has always been plainly thus, but it seems that a lot of hi: partis. m followers have been hoping against hope, quite to the contrary, only now to have that hope blasted. You cannot be for the League and against It at the pame time. You cannot bo for "scrapping" it and for ratifying it, botli at once. Cowering beforo the Borah-Johnson combination, which knew hla mind, ho has shown the tirst sign of honesty slnco his nomination, and, we guess, told tho truth. Ho has mado a definite- statement, or nearly so; ho nearly bo. In fact, as to qulto fulfill hU instructions, as a campaign speaker: "Avoid Gov. Cox's fallacious contention that the chiof disiseratum is definiteness in the obligations to bo assumed by tho United States. If tho obligations aro in their nature undesirable, the frreater the dctinltene.sa tho greater the risk." Therefore he would "scrap" the whole thing, regarding all tho obligations in their "nature undesirable," which simmers tho Issue down te the desirability of the obligations, (iround in between tho tipper and nether millstones between Gov. Cox en the ono hand and thr Borah -Johnson combination on tho other, tho Marlon man has been forced to locate, himself. Tho senater will "scrap" the Paris treaty and th'i karuo if ho is elected; definitely says so and he has nothing constructive to offer save that he will ;tdvis' with the senate oligarchy with some sort cf "association of nations' in the distance; an "a.s-t-oclutlon of nations." of course, in which the "chief lUsideratum" will not ho "definiteness." Can't you t--o the hand of tho war-god In such a frame tf mind? Indclnitenes.s and misunderstanding have bred all the wars that have blood-soaked the earth. Militarism and the proriteers upon militarism, arj the Mestopheban inspiration, and can bo the only inspiration, for s-ich a program. What care they for the blood ei f your hoys; or for the drain upon your pocketbook, to keep them in the tield? Humanitarisnt ha- all gene out of tho t-ouls of such rr.er.. Mr. Harding joins them as one of that school of neurotic.-; with gooseth sh and teeth a-chatter. trying hard to be wi-- and brave; who don't givo a cire what happens as long as It don't happen to them. The senates is like the man who fell into the soup nr.d thereupon congratulated himself upon being :n tho swiro.

Hr language, her political traditions, h r whole manne r of thought these have had i ry little in common with those of tho Anglo-S.t"rs to northward, and of those peoples who have b vn s " readily aimi!at'd by them. It has t een Mexico's fault, jh rhaps, and assuredly 1: has been ours. Until about, a c ntury ago, of course. Mexico was losely bound to Spain by governmental bonds. Th reolutlon which made th.- f.rt republic possible yverc those or.ds. but tb.- Iatin Anu-ricans turn4 to & kindred raee. All through the IC-th conUiry it w as to I'rar.ce ih.it wal:hy Mexican.travelled, to rr.ir.ci they m:- their children to bo ucatovi. It was in rr.ince that Mexican young men. down to our our. da. .-tu. lied the r.iilitary art. Now, tt arrears, loth the l'nit. d States and Mexico ar awako to the di-" advantage s ef tliis policy.

The Ani.rle.vn chamber of commerce of Mexico ih serves the credit. This organization has worked out a scheme for an Interchange of fholarhips between Mexico an 1 United fitatcs universities and expects within a few xnoatiu to cCTcr no ls Lbaa 123 Icxican youths tho

chance to attend institutions of higher learning in this country. It hepes, likewise, to provide similar durational opportunities in Mexico for selected young m-n from th- Ftatrs. It is on the right track. Kihty pe-rc-ent f-t Mexico's commerce is with tho l'r.:!d Slated. The nation's future !s of necessity bound up in ours. Mutual understanding such as the- fullest use of .uch a scholarship system Is bound te rreat must go far'toward simplifying th3 probm whie-h has caused one war and half a (lo.Ti decades of misunderstandings and recriminations. It will he generations before Great Britain coniC3 to know how great a good Cecil Rhodes accomplished when he created the scholarships which are e arly weaving ne w bonds between the Anglo-Saxon I e opl s. The Ame rican chamber of commerce of Mexico may have been thinking of business 20 y ar.s h'nee whn it developed this scheme. Tho good it may accomplish will last forever.

SUGAR PROFITEERS LOSE. TH K K I' will be little public sympathy for tho rpeculators who, according to a Boston sugar man, have lost fortunes as a consequence of manipulations of the market. A shrinkage of $200.000,000 in the valu of stocks, as reported, will not bear he avily, we may be sure, on any legitimate holders of UKar. All sympathy for distresses growing out of the situation of the hist few years will be reserved for general consumers, the people who have been mulcted not only, but fre quently have been unable to supply their needs at any price. The Boston man who has been enlightening the attorney general of Massachusetts, so far as his testimony is available, gives few details of the manipulations, but a fair inference from the news report is that unconscionable hoarding of sugar by isome Interests is tho explanation not only of the high prices that have been exacted but of the scarcity of the commodity at groceries. We believe that there was not available at all times all the sugar that the American people required, but it appears that the shortage was far less than was represented. Otherwise there could not have bee n the enormous losses asserted to have been suffered by holders of the commodity when the price began to slump. Popular opinion will hold tD this until there is evidence to the contrary. And it will hohl to it too, with reference to pome other commodities, perhaps not always with a reference to hoarding, but profiteering none the less, as in coal for instance, through wholesaling, jobbing and retailing a series of manipulations quite as damnable as those of tho sugar barons.

A SORRY DEMONSTRATION. WHi:X the anti-British clement in New York attempted to disrupt the terccntary celebration of the landing of the Pilgrims in that city a few days ago, they made a bad mistake. Shouting "Down with England! Hurrah for America," the mob burst into Carnegie hall where th exercises were being held. They carried banners bearing tho names of British delegate i to the tercentenary, referring to the delegates as "British spies."' The intruders were led by a group of women who said they belonged to "The American women pickets for the enforcement of America's war i.ims." Police reserves had to be jummoncd to eject them from the hall. That this mob is in no sense representative; of any true American sentiment goes without flaying, nor would any of the thoughtful women of America give their countenance to any such organization or behavior. The tercentenary celebration is of purely historic significance, and rich in meaning and associations Ier all true Americans from whatever race they may have sprung. All the better element in America deplores the insult to English guests, and the attempt to break up the celebration. No friends will be gained for anti-British propaganda by this sort of sorry demonstration, while numberless representative Americans who havo hitherto maintained an attitude of toleration in tho matter will be antagonized and actively opiosei to any anti-English agitation from now on, whether it be ultra-Irish, pro-Hearst, Hi Johnson, cr just plain pin-head.

PAPER SHORTAGE AFFECTS SCHOOLS. A condition in the Philadelphia public schools foreshadows what the shortage of print paper m. ans and what, if it continues, will be the result, declares tho Fourth Estate, a newspaper trade I uhlication. The shortage of paper in one of that city's high schools is so acute that pupils are forced to study from notes. In many of the elementary grades school hooks nre so old that they are unsanitary. Although the board of education has made appropriations, the scarcity of books, caused by papi r shortage and increased price, has forced the board to transfer funds from other branches in order to help and this has not yet been suthcient. Thus paper shortage clogs the wheels of education. The effect on newspapers was felt some time ago. Where it will lead to, if it continues, is a puzzle to the best equipped optimist, but time will find it. Maybe it will be discovered some time that paper has beta manipulated after tho same manner as sugar, and here Is hoping that, if euch is the case, the men who have indulged in it, will, like many sugar manipulators, bo the ones to go broke by it. Of course, it is only a hope. o Even the talking machine may be silenced while the family listens to the music made by the coal o.s it Ildes through tha chuU la to the bin.

KOdEKS. Remarking that "solitude is the greatest medicine a man can take." a former Princeton student who has spent 1C years as a hermit on a lonely Island in Chesapeake bay, with study for diversion, has rejoined human society. Taken in such a dose as that which he prescribed for himself, it would drive most people mad. la homeopathic quantities, however, there is something to be said in its behalf. Solitude does more than anything elso to develop the resources for entertainment that are to bo found in one's own mind. And the person with these resources developed has a happier time than one who is dependent for entertainment on the society of other people. The latter is likely to be bored if forced by circumstances to spend any considerable period alone. He tires of reading, he tires of playing solitaire, or of playing the phonograph, and knows of no other way in which to divert himself. On the other hand the self-contained person is usually a student. who rinds everything around him worthy of fdudy and onlv regrets that he does not have more time at his disposal for solitude and study. Tho student finds life more interesting than the person who cannot bear solitude, and is likely to make a more valuable contribution to the world's welfare. A liberal amount of solitude is indispensable to the highest mental cultivation. There can be little deep thinking without it. MILITANT SUFFRAGISTS TO SHOW UP THE JAILS UV MAKI1-: ATIIKUSO.V nvi.nt will the women do with tv.nir nnwer?" is being a: ed by good many people nowadays. One thing they are going to do s get after prison reform. The militant suffragists who were sent to Occoquan workhouse in th- District of Columbia for picketing and making trouble generally kept rather quiet about it at tho time, because they did not want to co ifuse the issue for which they were fighting. But now that the vote is won. they are going to make a determined effort not only to show up the prison system as it exdsted there, but to see that It is remedied there and elsewhere. This group of women is now collecting affidavits to show the unsanitary' iind ignominious conditions they were forced to endure. Among these, it is said, were the facts that some of the women had food served to them with worms in it; that they were deprived of all rights to read or write; that all women prisoners had to use the same cake of soap, whether they were white or black, sick or well", and that all had to drink out of the same bucket and dipper, in spite cf the fact that some of the prisoners were suffering from highly contagious diseases. Members of the National Committee on Prisons and Prison Iabor have recently visited the workhouse and declare that great improve- . ment has been made recently. If half what the suffragists say car. be j proved, certainly there was plenty j of room for improvement. j Too often the conduct of public institutions is given over to people who lack, to put it mildly, the proper training. A man or woman ionlined to j ill does not. by the fact of their sentence, lose theii- humanity. They should riot be mollycoddled, but the" deserve humane and decent treatment, cleanliness and proper sanitation.

Where Kissing Even Of One's Wife Is Crime UY i.-orisr: alli;m.v. The Spanish are sticklers f ir propriety, if we may judge from a dispatch from Madrid which tells that a visitor in taking have of his I wife at the door of a hotel kiss.-d her. The act was don- under t"ie eyes of a policeman and the nscula-to-v husband stxedilv fonr.d him self in the clutches of the law. He was Informed that he had committed a serious offence ,-iuainst lh laws of the Spanish capital .and ignorance of the law provided no excuse. If it mi-ht bo presumed that the offense lay in the f.ict that he kiss.-d his wife, the dispatch corrects any such assumption by saying further that It is a n equai offense to kiss any woman while in the tdreets of the city, with or without her consent. Thus there is no discrimination ns to women. Howevir. tho culprit, u am further informe!, was let off with a reprimand that probably impressed on his conseiouness the Kraity of the crime. Se f;ir as the information to us cro.-s, the prohibition applies to kissing on the streets. Whether it extends further is not stated. It possibly also lias to be done in th" sight of a policeman. If the young Spanish lovers are discreet they may seek a park, like some do in this land of liberty. At any rate they would probably be cautions eriourh to glance around to s-e who might be looking. We never would have suspe'ted that the i-'panin rds were aflicted with "blue'' laws. They have r.f vex been puritanic. However, th.-." addict'-d to kissing th"ir wives will do well to be careful while in Sp?.in. DISEASE CARRIERS IS MATTER OF IMPORTANCE UV WM. II. ALIH'ItN.
