REPRESENTATIVE MANN CALLS FOR
 FAIR PLAY

Representative Mann, the Republican leader of the house, has made plea for fair play for the President while he is on his mis- sion abroad The congressman stated that factional strife should be eliminated wherever it might serve to eembarrass the President while he is out of the country. As leader of the Republican faction he said that his party should not try to thwart the Presidents plans simply to embarrass the chief executive while he is abroad as the representative of the peo- ple He stated further that he believed that the American people would not tolerate any meddling at this time with affairs that so vi- tally concerned them, and that harmony should prevail among the lawmakers of the country-at least until after peace is signed.
 What Mr. Mann is calling for is no more than fair play. The President feels that it is of paramount importance that he attend the conference in Versailles, where world peace will be discussed and settled, founded upon principles uttered by him. And he feels that the American people will back him ill this be- lief While he is gone, he depends upon the sense of fair-dealing of congress to cause its members of both parties to give him the un- divided support that he deserves at this time of crisis He should be able to feel that con- gress is back of him solidly, and that he can depend upon it to support him i'll what seems to him to be wise and for the best interests of all.
 It is condition that is to be deplored, but it nevertheless seems to exist, that many congressman of both houses exhibit peculiar narrow-1nindedness and blind stubborness, ex- aggerated to such degree that it results ill opposition, red tape and pinheaded politics ot a character to try the patience of the most patient nation i'll the world. The Congress sional Record has accounts of many discus sions and debates, that for pure, unadulter- ated useless..~aa and waste of time and energy, are equalIed no place else in the world h. stance after instance may be found where our learned, dignified lawmakers have quibbled and argued about little points that did not amount to a row of pins, using valuable time and space, ill the Record, that should have been put to better use It is often mystery to an observer how some members of this au- gust body ever managed to camouflage their constituents into thinking that they were the men whom they should send as their repre- sentatives to the National body of lawmakers. Or it may be that these same men are too faithful representatives of their constituents. But be that as it may, the fact remains that there have been many occasions where con- gress has shown itself to be SO hide-bound, so provincial and SO small minded that it has been trial indeed to the American people.
 Of course, it is entirely within the province of congress to act as check upon the administration, but, at time like the pres ent, unnecessary criticism and fault finding should be done away with, and the lawmak- CTS should unite solidly to support the Presi- dent as he represents the American Nation before the other nations of the world.

BOLSHEVISM IN GERMANY

It would seem that Bolshevism was prov ing to be veritable boomerang for Germany, for as it stands now, an outbreak is imminent, and threatens to deluge the German nation in a reign of terror very nearly equal to that which they themselves helped to turn loose i'll Russia. They are ready and willing to give aid and money to the Bolshevik leaders in Russia and reap the harvest of the revolution that they carried on, but now this same doc Urine threatens to break out in Germany, and with violence so we'll prepared that it is al most impossible to foretell the outcome
 Dr. Karl Leibknecht, the ruling spirit of the revolution, has had extensive prepara- tions ready for some time, apparently only waiting for propitious time to turn loose the floo1 of anarchy that passes under the name of Bolshevism. The reports yesterday indicated that he has signified his readiness, and that the revolution was to break in Berlin Friday evening, that is, last night.
 Todays reports from Berlin give diff ferent note to the situation tho they state that there is considerable disturbance and violence thru the streets of Berlin, with considersb shooting and bloodshed. A despatch from Copenhagen says that Berlin reports an inter- cepted American wireless message that would indicate that the allies are planning to occupy Berlin temporarily with the purpose of restor- ing order and nipping the plans for the Bol- sheviki revolution in the bud before there is a chance for repetition of the reign of ter TOT that held Russia in its bloody grip for so long. The troops of the allies will perform police duty in Berlin and will thus untangle what threatened to be situation difficult to solve and one that might embroil Germany ill a series of revolutions with disastrous re- suits.
 The Germans may rue the day when they gave Boshevism the support that makes it the force of the proportions that it has attained today. They furnished the funds and help ed to establish it as the controlling power in Russia, but now, if it weren't for timely ac- tion on the part of the allies, it might serve to work great disaster for the nation that pro- fitted by its first burst of power.
 THE proposal to make national event of the burning of the cargo of German toys recently landed in New York; by way of Hol- land seems to meet with general approval. If New York will let the rest of the nation know the hour at which the bonfire is to take place, the people generally may be counted on to pause in their occupations and applaud the
