London, June 20.-A new allied of.

view in certain circles here today, of
radical arrangements of French and
British forces in northern Greece and
Macedonia.
1t now develops that the British
withdrawal from above the Struma
was mainly from a health standpoint,
the British army chiefs not desiring
to hazard the fitness of the troops
by a summer in that section. 1t was
pointed out here, however, that the
withdrawal might also be part of a
general scheme to shorten the front
and increase the strength of General
Serials forces at the foremost point
of contact with the enemy.

entirely open to the allies Hereto
fore the allies have hesitated to throw
great forces OF men into the Macedon-
ian theater because there was always
the possibility that the pro-German
king of Greece would scheme some
movement that would perhaps bottle
up that army.

The Speakership.

A not unlikely extra session of the
new Congress, with the two parties in
the body almost evenly balanced, brings
the speakership of the House into promi-
nence.
The office. as we all know, has been
shorn Of power. The occupant is mere

with parliamentary law and practice,
and disposition to be fair in rulings,
are all necessary in the place. Expert

The Gallinger Amendment.

Mr.. Gallinger has offered an amend
ment to the corrupt practices bill now
pending in the Senate providing for a
congressional investigation of "the de-
nial or abridgment in any state of
voters rights in violation of the four
teenth amendment TO the Constitution" !"
The penalty for such denial is reduc.
tion of representation in Congress and
in the electoral college of states so of
Tending.
Mr.. Vardaman is quoted as saying:
IL take it the amendment is aimed at
election laws of southern states. As far
as / and the people i represent are CON
eerned we are willing for any sort of a
fair and honest investigation of cleo
tiens in the south to be made The
more the race question is discussed the
more / like it. When this question is
understood in the north, as it is now
understood in the south, the fifteenth
amendment will be repealed and the
fourteenth modified. These amend
ments are not violated in the south
now, but when it becomes necessary to

Clerks Pay.

The prospect for immediate increase
in the wage of government employees is
not rosy. but neither is it hopeless It is
said that as the Senate subcommittee has
stricken the proposed horizontal increase
from the executive, legislative and ju-
dicial appropriation bill, the Senate
will probably approve this adverse and
disappointing action. Legislative fore
casters say that unless the House shall
insist upon its original position the pro-
posed increases will be lost. However,
fight is never lost until it has been fin
ished, and quick reversals come in con.
gressional temper as quick changes come
in the wheel Of fortune.
The just argument of the clerks has
made considerable headway in this Con-
gress. Their reasons have converted a
good many legislators to the thought
that the government clerk is underpaid.
and that his earnings have fallen far
out of line with rates of pay considered
adequate in this age. The clerks pay
schedule was based upon the cost of liv-
ing and the standard Of living Of a by
gone age. The people of the country
have no wish that the men and women
upon whom the actual work Of govern
ment falls shall be paid other than a
fair and reasonable wage, and the leg
islative branch of the government should
be responsive, as it is responsible to the
will of the people.
This deserved and just change in the
8 ;ale of compensation of government en-
ployes should be made ungrudgingly and
! made now. The Senate ought itself to
assent, and if it does not the House
should insist. The federal employees rea-
sonably resent being made the only OBJ
ject of economy. Representative Page
is reported to have said, very justly,
that if economies are to be effected they
should be genuine, and that he does not
believe that Congress should knock out
the proposed clerks increase, and then
go ahead with great appropriations like
those carried in the public buildings and
rivers and harbors bills.

violate them to maintain white suprem-
acy in the south, the white people are
going to control. There is law higher
than the law of man that makes this
| necessary
! and democratic senator accepts, why
not an investigationf Assurediy the
matter is of sufficient importance, and
assuredly it has been long enough sub
ject of partisan and sectional con-
troversy. If it can be it should be
settled
Former Senator Bourne, speaking for
the Republican Publicity Association, is
in favor of the Gallinger amendment,
and says:
"The corrupt practices act aims at a
worthy purpose. No one will deny the
baleful effect upon republican institu-
tions if elections may be purchased with
money-or with favor. Neither will
any one deny, as principle. the bale
full effect upon republican institutions if
elections may be stolen, in direct viola
ton of the Constitution. Consequently,
in order to make the pending measure
symmetrical, honest and equitable it
should be amended so as to provide
against the theft as we'll as against the
purchase Of elections"
Let us put aside the extreme note in
both of these deliverances. This ques-
ton can be disposed of equitably and
Justly within "the law of man." The
Constitution is man made: and what
man has made he should certainly be
able to amend in the light of progress
and experience. No higher law need
run in a matter so practical and so easy
of comprehension.
The trainers of the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments were not without
appreciation of the difficulties that might
grow out of them; and so they pro-
vided penalty that would apply in
case of their violation. The situation
in the south is well understood-is ad-
mitted. The spirit of the two amend
ments is violated. And yet the penalty
has never been imposed. No southern
state has lost a seat in Congress or a
vote in the electoral college by reason
of palpable discrimination against men
of color.
Mr. Vardaman thinks that more in
formation on the subject would bring
the north into agreement with the south
as to the south's action. This is an addi-
tional reason for an investigation; for,
as matters stand, the two sections are
far apart, and the north believes that
the south profits greatly by its nullifea-
tion of the Constitution.

familiarity with public questions is thor
ough, and his party loyalty unehal-

lost to his party and to the country by
the change which has reduced the
speakership almost to a nullity. The
vice presidency does not exercise less
