SOUTH BEND'S PROPOSED "LET NOT THY RIGHT HAND KNOW WHAT THY LEFT HAND DOETH" CHRISTMAS. DDL-ION f I'll a ."top inra;y to the group Chritmai dinner, at wkl h poverty has been paraded and charity advertised, will b decidedly 'i ppropriate for the Christmas season. Advowy of the Chrl.v.ni.i hacket snt to the r.cmfs of the r.'-'dy, without labeN from whom it CAjn. siv from a kindly heart with a Christmas greVdrr, harks h i k to that saying of the Nazarene: "I-t no thy right hand know what thy Wt hand eloetb." In oVdient tor.'"i. Th" only emestion la will those chariiablo poror.s. inclined to make their charity known, continue to he charitable with th parade removed. Vor. Indeed, tl.' re pre these v, i . - do not believe in hiding thir "light und-r a bushel" after such manner, and they ha', e Ulhlical lore also, to hack them up in th.it. It he an interesting under taking; Ir.tcrestir.g t know how interact in Christmas giving to the ;cr-ir fnt poor, will decline or increase with uch a propra in of silence. The purpose 1. :.ot to compromise the recipient any more than is absolutely necessary, and never to let him knorw, if possible, to whom he is indebted for his greeting. It is the proper Christmas spirit and it is the proper Christian spirit. 1'rom throughout the philanthropic and church organizations of the city, a centralized body ought to he able to locate and reach every needy home. Hy such process too It can he lone wdthout dupll'atlon; without norne faml'.bs be i ng blessed from a. number of sources whib others go without being Messed .at all. It isn't tho old way of doing thing. but then there aro a number of thing that we :ro not doing in these times as we used to do them. This thing of letting not your right hand know what the left hand Is doing, reverts about as nearly back to the old way, however, as anything that has been .suggested locally for some little time. And as to the Christmas tree the municipal Christmas tree, abandoned la.'t year and to be abandoned again this year! They say the uncertainty as to the weather renders its abandonment necessary, in the interest of public health, yes; t ut here wo part company. A municipal Christmas tree on the court house lawn does not necessitate a program; does not necessitate Christmas carols, or ho staging of tho w!se men of east. The program would be but momentary at most, and witnessed but by a few, but the Christmas tree through Christmas week, with the beckoning star lighted every night until the New- Year's dawn, reminding everyone that parse that way that once a child was horn; that lie grew to be a man. preached a strange gospel and was crucified for It hy pharlsee3 : nd hypocrites whose successors are still with us, wouldn't bo a bad thing In these returning days of tho sordid materialism against which Ho fought; t o. i.o not a bad thing at all. Christmas should be observed as more than a biy of charitable und cheerful giving. It should bo a day of ChrL-tmna refactions; of Christian meditations on tho plgnifieanoo of that beginning of a new era In human history, over which a curtain, mite like that of the dark ages, seems again ringi : i sr down. A sneaking skepticism has half the world grabbed and got a mortgage on the other half. Its god is mammon. Regardless of religious professions we are even antedating Christianity'. birth wdtli our worship of thrt golden calf. Idealism! Huh! That i3 what tho rractl:alist calls Christianity and wo aro warned against it with no lesw zeal than the early Christians warned against the e il one. Frankly then, we Insist that dispersing with the Christmas tree itself, the star, and tho lights by i;;ht. Is ci ml.' take; never mind tho rrETa.m, at bet. perhaps a di:-pense.1lo part of the parade that hi former year readied out and embraced the poverty Christmas dinners. Pcrhajss tho stolid sihnc of th trf unheralded and unhung, would be even more lmprc.vlve than a lot of noise, it would be rymbollo to of the quiet manner after which the Christmas basket nr to b distributed.

PRO -GERMAN ARGENTINA FOLLOWS US AS GERMANY'S ALLY. THC same incipient i ro-German ism that has kept tho United States out of th league of .Nations through premise of partisan reward has found a eernlng ally now in Argentina, threatening to quit the Tveasue unless its pro-German demand that all sovereign nation be admitted 10 membership en a basis of equality, is granted.

the Introduction of Argentinian pro-Germanism to blork that. Hut the league assembly is a perious body.

It has got the League actually functioning, and it must be admitted that, with all the weaknesses it has Bhown and all the criticism aroused by some of Its actions, the awpmbly at Geneva haw already made a better impression than Americans expected. As a result, Amirican sentiment as distinguished from pro-German sentiment in America, Is taking a more favorable turn, and there Is lesj talk of keeping out of It permanently. It is now rather a question of exactly what changes are to be made In the League constitution, with tho consent of the present members, before the United States accepts membership. The assembly has wisely postponed all effort to amend the constitution until next Bummer, at which time it will Eeek to come to agreement with the new administration at Washington. And it Is very doubtful If It will go out of business because of Argentina's pro-German demonstration, any more than it stayed out of business because of our own.

THE INDIANA MOVEMENT FOR NONPARTISAN CITY GOVERNMENT. NEW. from over Indiana that there la to be a sort of organized movement to have the coming session of the state assembly act to authorlzo adoption of tho commission or commissioner-manager plan of municipal government, revives an old Issue that had almost been forgotten. During the sessions of 1913 and again in 1917, the late fen. G. Ii. Summers, introduced bills to accomplish such purpose but they never got farther than the com mitteo rooms. The non-partisanship features of commission and commission-manager governments In cities, are the things that Indiana legislators seem to dislike; this thing of conducting tho elections wdthout regard to party. It does not listen v. ell to the politician, yet without these features the commission plan would be no better than the so-called federal plan under which we are now operating The purpose of commission government in cities i. to get service for the public rather than grease for political machines. On the other hand too, tho non-partlsanlzlng of municipal government through the commission systems, has net always non-partisanized them. Too often they have become hot-beds of the worst sort of "invisible" partisanship; that is, the men in control, while ostensibly non-partisan, so elected, and pretending to serve regardless of rarty, have secretly considered tho politics of every appointee, and attached him to the outside organization as effectively. If not more so. than If it were done in the open. "Wo have had examples of this here s?t by mayors In making up their so-called bi-partisan boards. Mayor Carson has appointed not a single man to Ids boards from the opposition party, scivo men who bolted their party in the city campaign and supported him for election. Former Mayor Keller can lay claim to Just one exception, and that exception did not come from the party tnat was his nearest rival. In neither of the last two administrations has the minority in South Bend had the representation on the city boards, to keep track of things, that the law providing for bi-partisan boards anticipated. It has been observed in letter but not pplrit. The law never contemplated such appointments on the basis of party affiliation in national politics picking men who have bolted such affiliation in a city election to support the man from which such appointment comes. So politicians are rollticlans, it seems, whether under ron-partisan commission government on the so-called two-party federal plan. Grand Rapids, Mich., lattle Creek, Mich., and Indeed, several Michigan cities, where the commission system had been adopted under tho "home rule" law and not only In Michigan, but elsewhere. Including even Dayton, Ohio, and Galveston, Texas. have had their tilts -with the practical politicians. When a majority from one party, even though non-parti-ranly elected, get into control, the temptation seems too great to bo overcome. Tho principle of nonpartisan commission government for cities, is ideal: but then, so is the principle of the popular primary and the initiative, referendum and recall. But the poiular primary hasn't been an overwhelming success In practice, and the Initiative, the referendum, and tho recall, have, prowa bunglesomc uninteresting, ultra-expensive, and at times a huge joke. We believe !n non-partisan elections .n cities, and in the commission plan of government, tut when, oh when, will the people from whom all government proceeds, possess the eteadfast public spirit and moral stamina, to proceed with It to the fulfillment of such high ideals, and Insist upon their maintenance? With partisanship reduced to quite the like of religious frenzy, and adhered to with dogmatic blindness, regardless of principle, conduct, or anything else, as It has been In these latter daya; a brand of new ignorance and Inertia that subjugates all to the will of their designing leaders well, what is the use? What is the use? The place to begin is not with the legislature, but in tho brains, the hearts, and the souls of the jeople. o GUILTY PARENTS. An Illinois grand Jury indicted a man for an offenso agairst a young girl, but took occasion at the same time to reprimand the girl's parents for allowing her to roam the streets at night. The attitude of the parents in this case wa3 especially ilagrant, but it is a matter in which laxity is all tuo common, nor is it confined to the les fortunate classes. Young people from better homes are frequently allowed a freedom unsuited to their years or Judgment. The proper place to begin checking youthful delinquency ami providing for the safety of the young is with the parents. This fact cannot be ttreted too much or too frequently, and the grand Jury which publicly held the parents in this case guilty of contributory negligence performed a valuable i-ervice. o It may be foV4Uh to refuse J 1.000, COO as Charles G j r and did, but It's great to have enough svlfrel'ance to make such a refuse'

I week's Slip Horn, says: Jest a part-

Therefore th' bride should be fully cognizant o' th fact that if she's t' have a husband she'll have t' take man in his wild, crude, unrefined state, an' fashion him into one. Unless she's fortunate in selectin tractable material, she might Jest as well try f bridle a zebra. Not th' partly striped hybrid quagga seen - in circus perades, but a real Barbarv, North Africa, zebra. A sensible

bride '11 ask herself these questions before her weddin' day: Could I love him if he chawed t'baeker in th' houso Could I be proud o' him if he had a heavy damp mustache? "Would I sigh fer my old freedom if he played croquet in his undershirt? Or could I trust him if heshaved ever'day? If he appeared on th' verandy in his bare feet, would it shatter my romance? Have I th personal and physical charms t hold a husband an spur him t' success? If a girl's married life is goin' f measure up t' her dreams she's got t' bo some trainer. No bride, how-

Th" single feller that's only comin out even these days has ever'thing t lose an nothin' t' gain. When he takes a full partner without experience or capital he is simply givin' up his freedom, half his income, an' his good will he's jest bein' held up an' robbed, th.r.'s all.

How Crime Has Increased As Result of War

HY AUTJIL'K II. i:i;ii. An invcötijator of sociological conditions in American cities, observing that crime ran rampant to new hi-jh records in 1J19, observes that "human lifo was never as insecure in the United States as it ii today. Our national apathy in this matter is an indictment of our alleged civilization." It is a pessimistic view. He blames "the press, which fails to draw useful conclusions from the facts presented; the church, which stoma indifferent to the jnest Ilagrant violation of the laws of God. and the- authorities, failing to obtain prompt convictions in a large number of murder case's." Probably there is some blame to bo attached to each of these for the prevailing Jiigh murder rate in the United States. But it is not clear that they aro responsible tor tho sudden increaso in crime in 19 ly.

for the press and church and

authorities are probably not

apathetic today than they havefor years. Indeed, there are

donees that they have ben alert in recent months than narily. Tiie increaso in homicide in is due to one cause, and one

It is due to the cheapening of th

value, placed on human life by the great war. Irresponsible mind.- that comprehend that 10.000,000 soldiers were slain from lyl4 to lyl are not likely to attach much significance to adding one more to t li loss. It is the price the world pay.: lor tttim; men at each other's throats. There are, however, obvious contributory causes to homicide under normal conditions that arc within possibility of correction. The cas? with which dunir-reus wenk pers-'i.s can obtain a death-dealing weapon is an imitation to them to use those weapoiu The power of the courtH to frighten men into being good iü titriet ly circumscribed.

Hear, my Son. tho instructions of a Mother; for when Solomon sang of the Perfect Wife, he drew inspiration from all the virtues of his seven hundred wives. Yet, in all his harem, there was not ONIJ llawless woman. 1'or lo .there was Trillah, whose voice was of silver and whos-? feet were lighter than tho fall of almond blossoms yet she wore curlpapers under her boudoir cap and left her hair in the comb. And there was Musa, whose wit was more- sparkling than win and whose epigrams we re more piquant than spices yet her tongue knew not weariness, and she would never STOP talking! And there was (Jracin. who was fairer than the rose of morning and sweeter than a pomegranat yet she opened her vanity case at the restaurant table, and powdered her nose in public without shame. And there was Jaz.a. whose mirth was as a spring tonic and whose gaiety was as sunlight on a meadow yet her p?es and puddings were 1A "burnt offerings.", And there was Vampa. whos heart was a sirocco, and whose kisses were as old w'uu yet her jalousv was more intense than either.

IJy Franklin D. Hogers. Just around the corner lies a era of the soundest prosperity

It may require a few months for development, but it is as certain to come as day is to follow night. Business men everywhere who have studied the situation know this to be true. The wise merchant and the wise manufacturer are they who are clearing their decks and getting ready to star afresh with the dawn of the new day. The workmen who have been dropped from the rolls of the railroads and the big corporations will all find themselves either back at their old jots soon cr otherwise employed. There has been for a long time a shortage cf labor in many lines, because workmen have been attracted to work where the pay was very high.

UHTOUS NOTi:. The following artiel on tin? league of Nations is M.iit out by tin Lvalue to 1'nfDi w lVatv. Fiance and Belgium, according to information just received by the league of Nations News Bureau, have registered with the league secretariat at Cieneva copies if utlicial correspondence revealing the nature of the recent agreement entered into by these countries for mutual defense against Germany. They refer to this understanding as "a ries of military measures to meet the eventuality of a new Clerman aggression against Belgium and They' state that they made this communication in order to conform to the provisions of Article XVIII. of the covenant. In the letters exchanged the agreement is described as fol'.ows: "The understanding in question is purely defensive and has reference exclusively to the case of an unprovoked aggression. Its object is to reinforce the guarantees of pace and security resulting from the covenant of tho league of Nations. "It is recocrnized as a matter of course that the two states retain undiminished their rights of sovereignty in respect to the imposition

i of military burdens upon their renretive countries and in rfcrari to

determining in each case whether

the eventuality eontemp! ted by the present understanding has in fact

; arisen."

The treaty registration section ". the League setretariat has announced that under the section of the covenant requiring treaty registration "". international agreementshave thus far been received and registered by the League. They include among other. 10 from Great Britain. 11 from France and nine from Germany. The last named. though not a membe r of the Ixikup, a creed to register all its treaties and has sent in documents signed with SovietBussia. Latvia and other states not In the League. In applvir.g for admission to the League. Bulgaria his submitted a plea that shows extreme repentance for the past and promise for the future. This document has been published by the League secretariat so that the ' representatives at the Geneva assembly might have It before them when they consider Bulgaria's application at the praoent

session. A cop:', received by the League of Nations News Bureau, follows: "1. The Hulir.irian nation i not fe-uilty of th- decisions takvti during 1114 and 1115 by the ex-King Ferdinand and his government, who wre only able to drag the people into war against the Powers of the Entente by means of false promises and by deceiving the army as to the true reason of the mobilization. Bulgaria, as soon as it had the means of so doing, severed all ties binding it to the past; at the present hour it has a firm and stable government that has been able to

strengthen the Bulgarian state and j

to repress any signs of anarchy in the country. Since the armistice. Bulgaria has given many proofs of the perfect correction of its attitude and of its loyalty towards the Powers of the Entente. "Bulgaria will observe the same loyal attitude in regard to the obligation? it has assumed. It ia ready to give effective guarantees of its intention of fulfilling its international obligations ar.d of accepting such reirulations as may be prescribed by the Iag-ue concerning its military', naval and air forces and armaments. "3. Having obliterated all memories e.f the past, the Bulgaria of today will endeavor to realize a state of perfect friendship with its neighbors; its policy being definitely directed towards that of the Powers of the Kntcnte, the Bulgarian government is firmly resolved to give

f them all its assistance. however I slight it may be. so as to enable

them to restore order and tranquility in all countries. "In view of these considerations. Bulgaria hopes thit. in regard to its admission to the League, it will not be compared to other defeated nations: but that it will be allowed to prove the sincerity of its intentions in contributing by its work to the re-establishment of peace in Lurcpe." In accordance with the spirit pro-fec.-sed in this application. Bulgaria has placed at th? disposal of the Permanent Advi-ory Commission on Military. Naval and Air Questions all the information required by the Leacue. It has also met Greece in a spirit of falrmln iedness which has made possible a treaty between those two powers concerning the mutual exchange of nationals resident on the wrong side of the borderline.
