What a Change!

One cannot refrain from comment on
one remarkable change time has wrought
between eighteenth and nineteenth cen
tury civilization and that of the present
dav, News dispatches tell that the Elysee
Palace and the Hotel Champs Elysee
Paris. have been taken over by the American
evolutionary forces the buildings to be
used as offices and quarters for officers
of the American army. The Elysee Palace
was erected in l7lS for Count Louis d'Au-
yergne II was used as residence by the
great Napoleon, by Napoleon III and by
other noble Frenchmen, and until recently
was the residence Of the President OF
france.
What a change from the traditions OF
old France And what a change for many
of the sons of democratic America Those
officers are sons Of blacksmiths, preachers,
millionaires, washerwomen,. college pro
fessors and the good rank and file that
compose American civilization. And they
are living together in the palace op a for
mer emperor while they pursue the splen-
did quest for world freedom and democ-
racy.-Milwaukee Journal.

THE NATIONAL PASTIME

THE editor of the New York Suns weekly
l. Book Section, confined to his literary funk
hole by the mumps. has amused himself by
drawing up international baseball teams
composed of authors.
His English lineup isn't so bad He has
Wells az pitcher; Chesterton, catcher; BEN
nett first base Conrad, second base Gals
worthy, third base; Kiping, shortstop; Nav
Sinclair, Rebecca West and Eden Philpotts
felders. He endears himself to US by saying
that William McFee will go on the first nine
when Kpling retires. He picks Thomas
Hardy as manager and Cincredble) George
Moore. that long exploded and fusty George.
as coach.
Personally. we would take out his battery,
putting Hilaire Belloc on the mound and
Gilbert Murray behind the plate. We would
pass Calsworthy to the bench, and put Chest
erton on the third sack. Miss Rebecca West
would yield to f. " Lucas in the center
garden. And our choice for manager and
coach would be Barrie and Shaw.
Now for the American team The Suns
literary EDITORS mumps have badly dis
heveled his judgment. Think Of an all
American literary nine in which neither
Vachel Lindsay nor Edgar Lee Masters is
mentioned nor Don Marquis nor Tom DAILY !
(And Tom used to play ball for Fordham
too) We refuse to reprint the Suns line
up for the American team, but mere Il is as
we would man it: Harrington. pitcher /;
Amy Lowell, catcher; Don Marquis, first
base; Vachel Lindsay. second base; Mar
garet Deland, third base; Simeon Strunsky,
shortstop; Irwin Cobb, Tom DAILY and Ed
Howe ielders Edgar Lee Masters, manager,
and Mary Roberts Rinehart, coach
And for umpire? The Sun offers no sug-
gestion. We would choose Garabed Gira-
gOssian.

WHEN IS A STATUTE A LAW?

4 cSENAToR WARE insists that the law
- forbids any man to vote in Republican
urinary who did not vote for a majority
Of the nominees on the Republican ticket
last fall.
He saws that all of the plain voters
who cast a Town Meeting ballot last ran
win be welcomed in the Republican pri-
.rnaries and no questions asked.
He announces that If any Of the Town
! Meeting party leaders attempt to vote IN
fhe Republican primaries they will be COM
PEELED t. swear that they voted for ma
iority o. the Republican nominees.
His view of the law seems to be that
II a voter is willing to support the Ware
party faction it can be ignored, but If you
are opposed to his faction it must be
enforced.
In brief law is to be juggled in the inter
est Of factional politics, and 1t can be
ignored at the will of factional leaders.
But the election laws are not the only
statutes toward which our political lead
ers show disrespect. The Philadelphia the
ory ana practice indicate that law is a
law only when it serves your purposes.
Is II any wonder that the Navy Depart
ment had to intervene in the vice situa-
ton?

WOMEN IN THE MINES

,rrHERE is nothing even in revised
public opinion which will tolerate the
s&mployment Of women and girls at the
mines and coal breakers. The operators
who attempted this experiment near
Hazleton and were promptly blocked
by proper objections from the United Mine
workers and the State Department of
Mines nave merely shown that constant
vigilance will be necessary If the safe
guards which normally surround women
and children in industry are not to be
broken down by employers Under the plea
of war necessity.
The intention of the existing labor laws
is to protect women and children not
only against unusual hazards, but also to
keep them safely out of such employments
as Involve unusual stress or an environ
ment untitled to them. The work of the
coal mines therefore, must be dore by
men.

THE MARKET VALUE OF HATE

TNHE hate quatrain that won a $1,000

line poem denouncing England's baseness"
seems to us strangely lacking in calories
Is It possible that the author did not really
hate England, but only pretended to for
the sake Of winning the prize? II we were
writing venom at $40 a word we could
amass a deal of passion in each heavily
milled syllable.
But. after ALL hymns Of hate seem
puny kind Of propaganda. They only serve

knows you hate him with a fun $1,000
worth OF hate he'll surely keep his powder
dry. What the Germans ought to do is to
offer some prizes for really convincing
love poems about England Maybe that
would fool the British feet so that all the
battleships would haste to drydock and
wreathe themselves with smilax

blast the Kaiser we'd start on more

THE KAIsER's HAND IN RUSSIA

TVHE apparent determination of the Ger
4 mans to make open war upon the Boil
sheviki under the mask of new royalist
movement is the final attestation of some
thing Inherently decent in the policies OF
the foriorn revolutonists in Russia.
The counter-revolution, through which
the Grand Duke Alexis has been declared
emperor at Petrograd, obviously has been
engineered by the aristocrats, royalists,
bureaucrats and the wealthy cliCues-the
real anarchists, the same mob that has
been pro-German from the first, that sold
out the Russian masses and delivered
hordes of unarmed peasants to the German
machin. guns.
= This stability of a monarchy in Russia
! now would represent merely German con-
quest of the entire country-by proxy.
The pacihst tendencies of the Bolshe-
wiki must now endure the ultimate test
The revolutionists must surrender and
descend to the degradation out of which
they tried to lift Russia, or they must fight
ma fight hard. Their only alternative is

2. They are very witty, but they have

4. They are annoyingly pretty.
