"Magnanirnity"

Even before an armstice is arranged
pleas in behalf of Germany are heard,
We are told that the Allies must not be
"actuated by punitive motives.' Let
those who have fought against the Hun
suffer.
The principle of Furnishing your friends
and rewarding your enemies seems to be
fundamental in the new craftsmanship.
Thus it is announced with some appear
ance of authority that the President de-
sires the coming peace to be as great an
example of "magnanimity" as that made
by the North with the South after the
Civil War. This, we suppose, is the new
version of "peace without victory"
Germany must not be "embittered."
Let the bitterness be left to those who
have suffered all the pangs that fright
fulness can inf1ict. 1t is really an in
tolerable idea that the criminal should be
made to pay the penalty of his crimes;
the victims can do that.
1t would be idle to speculate upon the
terms which the President would con-
slider magnanmous. Perhaps they are
all contained in the famous fourteen
points. None Of these, it will be re-
called, touches on the question of repara-
tion. That the American people are less
forgiving is perfectly clear. The all but
universal protests against peace by ne
gotiation show that And the Ameri-
can soldiers who have been fighting the
Hun, who have seen with their own eyes
his devastations, his brutalities, his war
fare upon defenceless women and chill
dren, his thefts, his tortures, his mur-
ders, would deeply resent his escape from
punishment.
They will not vote to-day, but the rest
of us have the opportunity TO make our
opinion of "magnanimity" to nation
that has waged war as no civilized ma
ton ever waged it before so plain that
there will be no disputing it.

Rejoicing by Royal Command

OF all the efforts of the great Demo-
cratic party to cash in on the war none
has been quite so delightful and ingenu-
GUS as yesterdays popular p@an Of
peace rejoicing-by direct command
from Washington.
Most Americans, patriotic Democrats
as well as reasonable Republicans, had
read and rejoiced at breakfast when the
news arrived.
But there is no partisan glory and
there can be precious few votes in such
casual JOY. For results at the polls you
must have concerted cheers and ioy bells
and tootings, all spontaneously register
ing at a given hour the devout apprecia-
tions of the American people for the
blessings vouchsafed them by a Demo-
cratic Administration supported (more
or less) by a Democratic Congress.
Therefore, at o'clock yesterday after
noon spontaneity broke loose. Our
Democratic Police Commissioner, over
whelmed by emotion, ordered the sirens
to toot; and the Fire Department ap-
parently experienced the same rush Of
joy to the head.
1t was rare show. Memory discovers
nothing to equal it. At least million
busy New Workers put their heads out
their windows and wondered, and went
back to work. So descended peace upon
Austria.
There is only one unconfessed point
about this pretty invention. That is the
identity of the great and original mind
that hatched the policy of American re-
joicing by royal command. So we hasten
to ask, on behalf of history, this ques-
ton upon all lips 'Who thought of it
first, Creel or Tumulty?"

A Victory for Fair Play

1t is pleasure for The Tribune to
record striking victory which has Just
been won in the Federal courts for the
cause of honest advertising and public
be-pleased retailing. The suit brought
against Colgate & Co. by the Attorney
General of the United States was a
crucial one that threatened to under
mine the foundations of every reputa-
BILE trade name in the country. 1t has
now been thrown out of court on its
merits by Judge Waddill, of the United
States District Court, sitting at Norfolk,
Va, in an opinion that is a landmark of
courage and clear thinking upon much
befogged issue.
1t will be recalled by Sour readers
that the indictment of Colgate & Co.
comprised none of the familiar charges
of such suits under the Sherman act.
There was no suggestion, either, of
monopoly or combination in restraint
of trade or unfair trade practices.
The sole accusation was that COLGATE
d Co. made a practice of refusing to
sell goods to retailers who cut prices
below the fair and uniform prices
fixed by Colgate & Co. The manu-
facturers did not even to seek to bind
the retailer by contract against price
cutting They simply exercised what
had always been considered the right of
the manufacturer to sell or not to sell
to whom he pleased, according as he
considered retailer fit and reputable
or menace to honest, equitable deal
ings with the public.
Judge Waddill's\decision goes to the
root of this extraordinary prosecution.
The case came before him upon de-
murrer to the Indictment filed by the
defendant. In sustaining the demurrer
and quashing the Indictment the court
said:

Austria-Hungary Bound

The terms of the armistice with Aus
tria-Hungary leave the Dual Monarchy
impotent. They secure the fruits of
Allied victory. They embody the prin-
ciple of safeguarding the military su-
premacy which the Allied armies" have
demonstrated in the feld--the same prin-
ciple that was applied in the armistices
granted to Bulgaria and to Turkey. They
are military in their character, political
only in their incidental effects.
Austria Hungary is obliged to evRcu-
ate the Trentino and part of the Tyrol
in order to give the Allies secure access to
the interior of Austria. She gives up
Istria, Dalmatia and most of the Adriatic
islands in order to make Allied control
of the Adriatic absolute. She turns over
her railroad system, demobilizes most Of
her troops, surrenders all her navy, re-
leases Allied military and civilian prison
ers, recalls her troops from the French
front and becomes a base for any mill
tary operations which the Allies may
wish to conduct against the southern
borders of Germany. These terms are
viz ACS iCi1IdCC pOIIIU VI d USlcdCCU ndL
tion They certainly cannot be resented
by Austria Hungary, which in the hour
of defeat has even ceased to be nation.
They will, in fact, protect her peoples in
the intermission period before the dead
empire is recast into independent states.
The Allied demand for the evacuation
of the Trentino, Istria and Dalmatia
leaves no doubt about the disposition of
Alsace-Lorraine in any armistice with
Germany. Alsace-Lorraine will be sur
rendered, as these Austrian provinces
have been surrendered. The German
navy will similarly be turned over to the
Allies or dismantled, so that Germany
can never resume the war at sea. If
Germany ever had any doubts about what
is in store for her under an armistice,
she can dispel them by reading the Aus
tro-Hungarian terms. Once hostilities
cease the irreparable will have happened.
Germany, the arch-conspirator against
the peace of the world, will be bound,
just as Austria Hungary, her humble
satellite, has now been bound.

Look Within

We have been forgetting the suffering
at home, the need to care for children
whose fathers are at the front, whose
homes are left motherless because the
high cost of living has forced so many
women into the industrial field. And
because we have forgotten it the New

districts and run by women for the sake
of suffering women and children, was

its clinics and 28,741 in its dispeflsary;
made 5,043 examinations in it's patho

Mr.. Burleson
CFrom The Pittsburgh cAristien Advocate)

(F'rom The Pittsburah Christicn Advocate)
a FEW weeks ago we all were busy
"A wondering Why our Postmaster Cen
eral was eager and hot in opposing
prohibition before committee of the
United States Senators who were LOOKING
toward an increased output and greater
efficiency in our shipyards. Indeed, we could
but wonder what business it was of the
Postmaster General anyway His depart-
ment is in such wretchedly bad condition
that one would naturally think that he
would need to spend all of his time
in his office straining the harness to
improve the mail service of the country
and better conditions in our army mail

only man before the committee who used
language that was, to say the least, in bad
taste. He spoke of the prohibitionists as
fanatics, and declared that we had no time
to fool with them, words to that effect.
He displayed great heat and zeal in defend
ing the brewers.
Now we have the key to the situation
and all is clear. In "The WASHINGTON

Mrs. Russell Sage

1t is seldom that a very rich man, dy-
ing, disposes of his vast fortune as
wisely as did the late Russell Sage. In
stead of attempting to apportion it
among a number Of benefciaries, with a
possibility, so often realized in other
cases, of interminable disputes and Gti-
cation, he left it substantially intact to
the wife who had been his loyal and
helpful companion all through the years
when he was amassing it. 1t is not
known that he SO much as suggested to
her how he would like her to dispose of
it. That was not necessary. He knew
her, and he knew, therefore, that what
ever she did would be done we'll.
That confidence was amply justified.
Coming into unrestrained control of an
immense fortune late in life, Mrs. Sage
retained, with that perennial spirit of
youth which was one of her personal
charms, a keen recollection of the needs
which pressed upon her in her early
days and of the needs of others which
had through many years been obvious
to her keenly perceptive and tenderly
sympathetic mind. In consequence, she
forthwith voluntarily constituted her
self the almoner of her wealth for the
benefit Of society, dispensing It with a
generosity, catholic impartiality and a
sanity of practical discretion noteworthy
even in this day of multitudinous bene-
factions.
The simplicity and unaffected sweet
ness Of her character endeared her to
