Christian Science Monitor: Baron
Won der Lancken, civil governor of
Brussels, the Prussian official who
refused to allow a Belgian attorney
to see Edith Cavell, and who turned
coldly from the appeals of Mr.. Whit
lock, the United States minister, in
behalf of the condemned nurse. has
been appointed to commission to
Investigate the charges of unneces-
sary destruction of property in Ger
man-occupied territory, with the view
of establishing their untruthfulness
or of showing that they have been
greatly exaggerated. Such report
as commission would make under
the influence and dictat:on of a
character like Won der .Lancken would
partake of burlesque. The place for
this person, as soon as the matter
can be conveniently managed, is be-
fore court martial of the allied
armies not on neutral commits

RICH PICKINGs.

The appellate court of Texas has declared
its statewide prohibition law unconstitutional;
and there are some districts in the state where
it is now no longer a criminal offense to drink a
glass of wine. But many cities will still be dry,
being within ten miles of an army camp.
Texas, the birth state of those two pillars of
democracy, Postmaster General Burleson and
Attorney General Gregory and of that most
potent unofficial counsellor any president ever
had, the eminent Colonel House, received
more camps and cantonments than any dozen
northern states combined Six army camps,
eleven aviation camps, one concentration camp
and one repair depot are located within its bor-
ders. This is rich political picking for Texas;
and it is interesting to note in this connection
that six hundred million dollars have been
spent on camps south of Mason and Dixon IS
line, but only two hundred millions in all the
other states of the union, and New Jersey, the
presidents state, got over one-fourth of this.
Politics did not seem to have been adjourned
when this distribution of plums was made.

FOUR JAPANESE SHIPS UNFIT.

While announcement that four OF the Japa-
nese ships turned over to the United States
shipping board are not regarded by their com
manding officers as fit for service in the Europ-
can war zone calls for an investigation to fix
responsibility for the transfer Of vessels be
heved to be unseaworthy, it is stated in Wash
ington dispatches that the japanese govern
ment lis not blamed for the delicate situation.
This assurance is scarcely necessary, for there
has been no occasion to question Japan's good
faith in her dealings with the United States
The arrangement by which this country was
to get Japanese ships in exchange for ship steel
was satisfactory to both governments By ac-
cepting proposals and cooperating with
the United States shipping board in building
operations the government Of Japan served
this country and its allies in critical period
If Japanese shipmen have taken advantage of
an opportunity to dispose of unfttvessels, their
government will deal with them; but there
must be no interruption of friendly relations
between that government and our own, and we
may be sure that Japan will keep her promise
concerning shipping.

GERMAN. PREPARATION BY LABOR.

Charles Stewart Dawson, chairman OF the
American Defense society's board OF trustees,
argues that no peace should be made without
provision that Germany furnish large part OF
the labor needed for the rehabilitation OF the
lands devastated by her armies. Mr.. Dawson
sees great drive for world trade after the war
in which Germany hopes to find the allies a,
yided and herself on, trade par with them. II
the allied nations must furnish the labor to re-
habilitate the crippled nations, Germany would
have an advantage in her unlnyaded territory
and intact mechanical powers which she could
well afford to pay for in a series Of payments
spread over long period. There would be
simple justice in making Germany build where
she has destroyed and undoubted economic adj
vantage as WELL But it seems improbable that
Germany will find an after-war break In the
cooperation of the allies. In time world trade
will resume it's untrammeled flow but it is I'M
probable that the allied governments will fall
to provide a cooperative plan under which
they will work during the reconstruction inter
val.

.HAvNER,s RECORD.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil: Here
and there in Iowa may be found peo-
ple who "have 1t in" for Havner,
present attorney general Of the
state. In all of these cases, except
ing, of course, men of democratic
faith who will support their own
party candidate, there are reasons.
Havner's administration has touched
them on some tender spot. And the
reason these fellows oppose Havner
are the very ones which ought to
prompt men who believe it just and
right to reward faithful service to
support him.
First and foremost, Havner Is not
pussyfooter. He is aggressive. He
Is not passive, but active in the en-
forcement of, laws. In the vigorous
prosecution Of bootleggers in the
state the hand of Havner is In evil
dence You will find among his
critics the fellows who think 1t is
not any part of the states business
to go to ST. Joe and bring into Iowa
an auto load of booze. The kind of
an officer. which these fellows think
is right" is one who is always look
ing the other way while they violate
the law. Their conception Of an
attorney general is a fellow who sits
in his office and looks wise and
draws his salary and does only the
things he is obliged to do.
Havner is just the opposite kind
of a man. His eyes and ears are
open to all kinds of law violation.
He is on the job every day. He works
diligently and effectively. He is an
able lawyer. His integrity is I'M
questioned. He is faithful to his
oath of office. AS a steward Of the
peoples business he is rendering a
true and faithful account. And it is
because of this activity and this
faithful service to the people in the
enforcement OF law that Havner has
stirred UP some opposition. But when
boiled down to its essence it will be
found that this opposition comes
from men who are interested in
having passive rather than an ac-
tive man in the office of attorney
general.
The good people of Iowa, the 2eo-
pie who believe in law and order,
who believe in rewarding faithful
service in public officials, ought to
rally to the support Of Mr.. Havner.
A long forward step has been made
in bringing about the observance OF
a law when the people show by their
votes that they approve the work OF
officials who enforce the law. Hav-
ner stands for law enforcement. A
vote cast for him is vote cast to
keep Iowa clean and dry.
1t is in no sense contended that
Havner has made no tactical mis-
takes in his administration. Any
man who works diligently will make
tactical errors. But on the great
essentials Havner has been right.
And he is honest. He is true to his
trust. He has kept faith with the
people whom he serves. He should
be reelected.

EARTHQUAKES OF THE PRESS.

Louis Blake Duff, at meeting of
Inland Press association: Today you
buy for two cents the history Of the
world Of yesterday. Behind the fin
ished product of the newspaper are
the highest skill and ingenuity OF
man. Years Of study and effort and
millions of dollars have been spent
in merely constructing the channels
that tomorrow would give men their
news for a penny. Faithfulness was
the beacon, and What does the
world want to know" is the guiding
star of every period and comma that
enters into the newspaper of today.
One of the MOST unique papers in
the world is La Prenza, published in
Argentina, sold for seven cents, and
containing more news than the
metropolitan dailies would publish in
a week. 1t is published in a $4,000
eco plant. which INCLUDES a palatial
hospital, hotel, library and conserva-
tory of music.
Newspapers are not as subservient
to capital as they were twenty-five
OF even ten years ago. for they had
learned that they could only live il
they served the public.
The obligation of the paper is prf-
marily and lastly to the reader.
There are two lights to the pathway
of the editor. what the public wants
and what the public should have.
Newspapers were never more truth
full and closer to sound principles
than they are at present. They are
the eyes, the ears. and to some ex-
tent the tongue of the people. The
newspaper casts it's beams into the
dark places, the crime. vice and
ignorance fly before it like mist
before a summer sun. Its task is to
SO write the history of the day that
the public may know ITSELF, its vir-
tues and its weaknesses.
