In Chicago a movement has been set on
foot to tear the page containing the eulogy
of the Kaiser out of 100000 spelling books
in use in the city schools on the first day of
opening in September. The tearing out was
to be done by signal from cannon firing, bell
ringing and the blowing of steam whistles.
The Board of Education has had the page
removed with more dignity and less noise,
but none the less effectively Why eulogy
of the Kaiser was ever put into an American
schoolbook is the amazing thing.

Richard Evelyn Byrd's idea concern
ing the consolidation of certain State offices
and bureaus is interesting and plausible
Nevertheless, none knows better than Mr.
Byrd that such proposals are easier to make
than to execute. Most of these government
tai agencies have continued for some years
and each was the outcome of the efforts of
some group of influential citizens. Unless
it can be demonstrated that any one of them
is utterly useless, it will be difficult to abol-
ish it, and unless there is Il clear and sub
stantial duplication of work. 1t will by no
means be easy TO consolidate them There
is an inertia in such matters that is not usu-
ally overcome by academic discussion

War Powers of Governors.

WYE have heard much Of the war mower
OF Presidents and of the necessity of
increasing IT, but Illinois gives us the first
evidence of the war power of Governors
me law committee of the State Council of
Defense has informed Governor Lowden that
ne mas absolute authority under the Illinois
constitution to seize and operate the coal
mines Ill his State. And il the Illinois ex-
ecutive can commander the coal mines. why
not any other public necessity within his
jurisdiction? Why not the wheat crop or
the packing-houses?
The power of the average State Governor
In normal times has been circumscribed NV
weil-deiined limitations So is the power NJ
me PRESIDENT restrained in periods of peace
but Governor may assume almost limit
less authority upon occasion. He NAV de-
clare martial law under circumstances of
riot or instruction, suspending for the time
the execution Of all civil laws He NAV
command the soldiery of his State 10 seize
persons and property. Under his police
power he may take over the railroads. steam
snip INES or any other public service which
MS States welfare may demand. And in
time OF great war it need not be surnris-
Ing to find that State Governor may reach
out and protect his people from the oppres
sion or coal operators or food SPECTATORS
There will be men, of course who wonia
challenge such move and who would an
peal TO the courts to prevent its execution
put courts, like other public officials are
sworn TO protect the public against its enc
mics And it is not venturing too much n
predict that few courts would be inclined to
tie the hands of Governor who was pro-
ceeding against menace to his people.
Even so. the experience of the State of
LIMOS IN this connection will be watched
win national interest. There seems but ~
tie doubt that Governor Lowden will act
speedily upon the advice given him by the
law committee of his own appointment, I'm
less the coal producers surrender by reduc-
ing their prices and increasing their outnut
we may expect TO see the State authorities
feach out Tor them. A battle in the courts
would follow and the attitude of tho Illinois
!urlsts would be as interesting in the second
instance as that of the Governor IN -. e.

The statement of Henry P. Dawson, chair

cross In Europe emphasizes the broad HUI
manitarfanism that is the ba sis of its extended
sphere Of usefulness. With Americas en-
trance into the war, the neutrality of tho
great organization necessarily ended auto
matically, and the field Of its activities is CON
fined behind the lines of the armies of the
United States and its allies. But" to quote
the Language Of Chairman Dawson, 'the Red
Cross knows no such thing as the nationality
OF wounded man. Any wounded enemy
turned over to the care of the American Rcd
