Carpenters

Attention of the membership is di-
rected to the fact that there will be
no convention of the United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners of
America this year, as the twentieth
general convention scheduled to be
held at Butte, Mont, next September
has been postponed until September,
1920 This was made necessary as a
result of the recent adoption by refer
endum vote of the proposition to hold
general conventions every fourth year
in future, instead of every second
year as heretofore.

ford, state superintendent of public
instruction, Colorado still holds first

INTERLoCKING OF SALARIES.

Salaries totaling $198,7l988 was

according to testimony brought out by
a state legislative commission. Some

four different companies, drew four

City Health and War.

1t is inconceivable that any ruling
or action of any government board or
commission should deprive the Dis
trict of the services Of the street clean
ing and garbage and refuse collection
forces. These works are absolutely
essential to public health and must be
maintained on as high standard of
efficiency as possible. The streets of
this city are now unusually dirty ow-
ing to the lack of attention. The gar
bage and refuse collections have been
lately very remiss, and at this time
garbage is accumulating in back yards
and cellars for lack Of attention. The
health of the city must inevitably suf-
fer if this service is not quickly made
more efficient.
In the dilution of man power in con-
sequence Of the war certain municipal
services must be rated as quite as inn
portant as munition works, shipbuild-
ing and military duty. If the health
of the people at home is not main
tanned the country suffers in war eff
cheney. A hard and fast rule against
municipal employments in favor Of
munition works or public building con-
structioD or shipbuilding is inconceiv-
able unless those who are directing
the man power resources are entirely
blind to the vital need of cleanliness
as a factor for victory.

card. The measures all appeal. Man
power is appealing. Water power is
a big thing. And fevenue-in an un-
precedented sum-touches the pocket
nerve Of the country. A legislator who
could not be reused to activity and
interest by such things would be out of
place in law-making body.
The country wants, and needs, the
best in all these matters-in all mat
ters relating to the war. Man power
must be drawn upon liberally and in
the most effective way. Revenue must
be provided in quantities and in ways
to support the man power. Resources
of every kind must be considered in
carrying forward the country's un-
paraHeled undertaking.
There is nothing sleepy" about any
feature of this program. All Of it is
"wakefup to the last degree. Hence,
if the business continues to be at
tended to in the spirit Of its inaugu-
ration-everybody alive, and disposed
to do his best-the record should be
such as both parties may take pride in
and be congratulated upon.

German Hospital and Hangar.

In a report of recent British air.
plane raid on German hangers it is
stated that the personnel, under the
fire Of the bombs from above, became
demoralized and ran off to seek shell
ter in nearby hospital. 1t is not
stated whether the British airmen pur-
sued them and bombed the hospital.
But there can be no doubt on the
score. That is one form of reprisal
for German crimes against the rules
of warfare that the allies have not
practiced. German military hospitals
are safe from allied guns, as far as
deliberate firing is concerned. The i'm
pulse of the German fugitives to seek
shelter in hospital is a confession
of the supposed sanctity of such an
establishment from attack-sanctity
which the Germans do not respect, but
which they expect. And 1t is further
more to be noted that in this case
at least the German hospital was To-
Gated close enough to distinctly mill
tary position to be reached by short
run in case Of attack. One of the
feeble excuses of the Germans for
bombing allied hospitals is that they
we're placed too near to ammunition
dumps and other legitimate military
objectives.

The White House Conference.

The conference at the White House
yesterday on the subject Of the reve-
nue. measure was timely. Scoop, now,
the House will begin debate, and the
Senate's turn will follow.
Senators Martin and Simmons con-
veyed to the President authoritative
information. The one the majority
leader Of the Senate, and the other the
chairman of the Senate finance COM
mittee, and both experienced legisla.
tors. they know the situation, and are
good judges of the possibilities.
The Presidents desire for early ac-
tion as to more revenue is natural. His
financial adviser, Secretary McAdoo,
has stated the case for him.
The suggestion that the finance COM
mittee will grant hearings is not a sur
prise. 1t has been under discussion
for some time. Hearings will be in
order. The finance committee always
grants them. They need not be pro-
tracted in this case
1t is well to remember that, large
as the present amount is, an even
larger amount of revenue may have to
be raised if the war continues to
widen and grow in intensity. Such
hostilities as are now in progress are
enormously expensive; and skimping
is out of the question. Successful
fighting cannot be done on a cheese
pairing policy.
Hence, the present bill may have to
answer as the foundation for a future
bill; and foundations should be laid
with extreme care.
Whether the bill is passed in late
October or late November does not so
| much matter as that when it is passed
it be in as satisfactory shape as de-
liberation can effect. The reasons why
Congress should remain in session and
do this work thoroughly are many.
The only reason why it should hurry
is that the congressional campaigns
are opening, and members who are
candidates for reelection are desirous
of going home and taking personal
charge of their own interests.
But the public interests have the
first call; and everybody should obey
that. In fact, there are no votes in
disobedience. The legislator who
shirks is lost.

The Situation on Capitol Hill.

Upon reassembling. Congress has
started off we'll. The right questions
are in front. There is spirit in the
debates. Everybody with something to
say is saying it. Everybody is show
ing interest. The local public is in
attendance on the proceedings. The
galleries of both chambers are filed.
Let US hope that this keeps up. It
will make for good legislation-at
least for better legislation than Ian
guor or indifference would produce.
At times there is naturally some
droning in Congress. Humdrum in
heres in the routine. Not every topic
appeals. Some topics most decidedly
lack appeal. Attendance falls off-all
but disappears. A few members on
the floor and a few visitors upstairs
in House or Senate-make the whole
show.
Stories are numerous Of visitors to
town-come mainly to see Congress in
session-expressing surprise and dis
appointment at the spectacle. At
home they had imagined something
very different. Their notion had been
that legislators in action were ami
mated and eager, and all on the job.
What they saw made them for the mo-
ment doubt their own eyes.
There is no routine at present on the.

despite possible penalties.
In these days when man power 10
at premium, when every man should
be working at some productive occu.
patton, when there 10 need Of every
dollar in legitimate lines Of use, the
prevalence Of this mean form Of gam
bling is distinctly harmful. It has .
destructive effect upon morals. It
leads to the commission of crime.
Local records are filed with instances
Of men who have begun gambling in
handbooks only to fnd themselves
soon enmeshed in difficulties from
which they have sought to extricate
themselves by theft.
Whatever the way may be that the
Department Of Justice has found to
reach the root Of this evil and eradi-
cate it, it should be applied vigorously
and unremittingly. For one thing, the
persons arrested in this latest raid
should be put upon trial at once and
their cases expedited to the quickest
possible conclusion. In the past the
handbook cases have dragged along in
court for months. sometimes to incon.
elusive action, indicating the loss Of
witnesses through delays. If the Depart.
ment Of Justice has found a way to
stop the handbook business it must
surely include prompt punishment for
those who are guilty.

A Dictated Peace.


American war aims, given in the course
of a speech in the Senate yesterday,
is one of the most invigorating ex-
pressions thus far on the subject. 1t
is of particular Importance at this time
as it indicates that the republican
party, of which Mr. Lodge is now about
to become the senatorial leader,
through the death of Mr.. Gallinger,
will urge the prosecution of the war to
a military conclusion and the restora-
tion of peace through dictation rather
than negotiations. If there has been
any hope in Germany that party di-
vision in America might cause a re-
Taxation from the war aims as enun-
ciated by the President, that hope is
killed by yesterdays deliverance by
the spokesman of the now minority
party.
In its broad outlines Mr.. Lodges
speech follows the Presidents defni-
tion of American war aims. There are
slight differences in phraseology, the
senator stating the case of Aisace-Lor-
raine little more definitely than the
President and more explicitly advo-
eating the elimination of Turkey as
a European power, but in the main
there are no divergences. Restitution,
restoration and reconstruction are the
keynotes of this policy.
But most important of all is the en-
phatic statement of the senator that
the American people want Germany
beaten to her knees on her own soil.
Our men abroad, he says, are fighting
to put Germany in position where
she can do no more harm in the future
to the rest of the world. To this end
be says I'VE must be above all propo-
sitions of a bargained peace, all sug-
gestions of negotiations; deaf to every
voice which would divert us from the
path; deaf alike to the whimper of
the pacifst and to the wheedling or
truculent appeal of the helpers of Ger
many
That is the kind of talk the Ameri-
can people appreciate today. There is
no patience in this country at this time
with the suggestion, wherever made,
that peace can come through "ar-
rangement" There is no faith in the
honesty of Germany. There is only
loathing and contempt for the power
that has torn up treaties, violated
agreements. outraged humanity, broken
laws of civilization. There is only
wholesome fear of that power as a
future menace if it is not crushed now
in this conflict that has already cost
so terribly and that will cost still more
heavily before the cpd is accomplished.
A dictated peace is the only goal
toward which our armies can fight with
any degree of self-respect and with
any degree of confidence in the future.
Whatever the particular terms of that
peace it must be peace written at the
POINT of the sword and not at the point

Root Out the Handbook Evil!

An agent of the Department of JUS
tice, following raid on handbook op-
orators in which eight arrests were
made, stated that a way had been
found to put stop to the business,
as will be shown later. It is sincerely
to be hoped that this is true and that
. way has been found to stop this most
insidious and dangerous gambling
evil, especially as in the list Of per-
sons arrested in this latest raid occur
names that have appeared heretofore
in similar lists, which would indicate
that arrests and prosecutions do not
discourage the handbook makers. This
is evidence that the business is sufi-
,cientiz profitable to- tempt those en-.
