son AT VERSAILLES

RESIDENT WILSON'S STAGE
ment that he will attend the
l. peace conference at Versailles Is
not a great surprise to those VINO
have observed his tendency to ADOPT
tho snectacular in his official con-
duct. 1t makes no difference that
in thus leaving the country at a crit
ical time he is violating tradiuohs
that have been observed since the
foundation of the government. AM
bition and vanity are expressed IN
this decision of the gentleman OIL
the White House to go to Europe
ond the boswells at Washington are
sending out to the kow-towlng press
of the country interpretations of this
unusual and extraordinary act OF
the President. For instance, with
reference to his proposed address at
the opening of tn peace conference
we are assured that it will furnish
+he peace tribunal with a chart and
compass, and have immense effect IN
conciliating the many conflicting in
terests. which, according to official
information received here, seem to
be multiplying since the cessation
of active warfare. diplomatic con-
tests having succeeded the armed
conflict"
It is not difficult to imagine the
feelings of the statesmen OF the
Allied nations who viii have to do
with the peace settlement when
they are told that the head of the
government on this side of the ocean
will supply the chart and the COM
PASS" for the whole important trans
action. 1t is not conceivable, how
ever. that the brainy leaders Of
England and France and Italy will
accent as the last word in all that
is wise the conclusions Of Mr.. Will
son.
Already his fourteen points are be-
ing dissected and the wisdom of
some of them questioned. For eX-
ample, in the Senate yesterday Sem
ator Lodge introduced a resolution
regarding the creation of an inde-
pendent Polish. state which was, with
an exception of the first eight words,
an exact reproduction of the thir-
teenth article of the Presidents
peace principles enunciated in his
address of last January. But Demo-
cratic leaders in the Senate without
realizing they were raising a question
against the President insisted upon
the resolution going to the Commit
tee on Foreign Relations.
Since the answer of the people on
the fifth of November the President
realizes that Congress is still a CO.
ordinate branch of the government
and he is not a superman, which
some of his over-zealous supporters
seem to think. Nor will his going to
Europe escape the severe criticism
which this decision invites.

WELL, SEE WHO'S HEREl

VERY so often somebody comes
n forward with the suggestion
- that this would be a good time
to build a public comfort station in
Market Square. Then the enthusias-
tic supporters of that doubtful pro-
ject get all het UP and the work is
to be started Immediately. But 1t
never gets under way, and that, 1t
would seem. would be an excellent
plan to continue indefinitely, were It
not for the fact that public comfort
stations are a necessity in Harris
burg, although not in the center OF
Market Square.
So it is not surprising to see our
old friend turn up again disguised
as "peace-time-p possibility" 1t was
about due, anyway, and we might
as well have the excitement now and
get 1t over with for another year.

A Glance at the Kaiser

two ago former U. S. Senator Depew
said:

Emperor and what he was, and what
he had and what he might have
been, when he had almost ma de an
economic conquest of the whole
world and then started for physical
conquest, and then lost 1t all. and
where he is now. it seems below the
dignity of the occasion, but really II

heard many years ago:

Hell. my friends. in judging the
Emperor-and we are judging him
now very we'll all over the world

entered into this war every military
man in the German army was for

ening him IL he did not do it. We
must remember that every profess
sor in the German university was
for 1t. We must remember that every
preacher In the German pulpit was
for 1t, and we must remember that
every man, woman and child in Ger
many was for 1t.

AN OLD TRICK

Letters received from American
soldiers in France express surprise
that prices in Paris are much lower
than they are in this country.
A letter received from former
employee Of this newspaper says that
cigarettes that sell in America for
l6 cents sell in France for cents.
He says that uniform that costs
SIS in this country can be bought in
Paris for $40. The food in France
is good and plentiful, he says, with
the exception of sugar. A good din
ner of seven courses can be had in
Paris for one-half what it costs in
Memphis or New York.
It is one of our national peculiari-
ties that articles produced in the Uni
ted States can be shipped abroad
and sold for less than they sell for
in this country. Economists have tried
for years to explain this phenomenon,
but unsuccessfuIly. One political
party has placed the blame upon the
other, but no positive result has been
accomplished except to establish the
accuracy of the charge that the con-
dition exists.
Years before the war American
made machinery was sold in Euro
pean countries for less than it was
sold at the door of the manufacturing
plant. There was profiteering then,
and there is profiteering now. It
SENS to be national and long-estab-
lished trait.
We shall make better progress when
we begin fighting or working with
both hands instead of keeping at
least one hand in our neighbours
pocket.-M Memphis Scimitar.
