Peace and War in the Balkans.

nor any cause for one.
As it is. the making Of peace is coincident with
what threatens to he the beginning of another and
still more serious war. for which the powers must
be deemed directly responsible 1t is true that bit

States including Greece. but il is also true that II
had been allayed, probably for all time. Had the
allies been left to settle with Turkey and TO partition

been no trouble The strife among them has been
caused partly 10y the arbitrary action Of the powers
in denying 10 three Of them their just rights and
partly by the mischief making ,ntrgues Of Turkey,
for which these months Of delay have given oppor-

The Great Smith Controversy and Our
Friend Jones.

If was Mr. Meredith Nicholson who first stood
Smith up on the firing line for every preacher ana
churchgoer to take shot at He explained with
much clearness in "The Atlantic Monthly just why
the poor man doesn't go TO church. Since then
veritabe mob has been at his heels Even book
about "Smith and the Church has appeared. Aud
now. in the current independent clergyman
brings Smith TO a definite end With truly Chris
tan thoroughness he 6ays the man alive and losses
him TO the wolves
II may be recalled that Smith was defended as
"the best Of fellows average twentieth cen
fury American" and lin no wise antagonistic TO
religion" merely indifferent" In attempted eX-
tenuation Of his absence from his pew II was
remarked that he spent his Sunday mornings golf
ing oepotterng about his garden. motoring.
All this the reverend critic kicks instantly TO
one side Speaking right out in The Independent"
he calls Smith "A sef-centrcd parasitic growth. an
cxcrcsccnce on the body Of society" The den
ducncy in churchGoing Is only one Of many grave
sins Our average pleasure loving friend is rated
a fiat and ignomnious failure in every socia task
On Election Day, for instance. Smith goes off fish
Ing and hunting. Furthermore. he has let our
economic institutions go TO the dogs in "a greed of
gain and lust for power" He permits torture war
slaughter Of innocents. slavery. His progeny is
spindng and pampered Finally his will is dab

WhitewashinG a Disgrace.

Responsibility for the outrageous disorder that
INSTRUCTED the suffrage parade in Washington on
March was unquestionably hard 10 fix. 1t was
one Of those not uncommon cases where many and
varying authorities were AT fault in relatively
small degree The consequences were out of all
proportion TO any individuals fault
Nevertheless the gentle language used by the
Senate committee is very hard TO justify The dis
order the insults the rowdyiSm we're unquestioned
So also was the fact that the women were holding,
after due notice lawful and orderly parade The
bare fact that the disorder occurred is enough to
disgrace Washington oficialdom and call for Wig
orous rebuke and drastic reforms.
The distinguished statesmen OF the Senate have
shown themselves quite as inefficient and careless
Of their duty as the weakened Washington au
thorites who made the original blunderS.
