According to Poindexter

From the New Republic.
 MT. PoindeXter, though member of the American rather than the French Senate, has already chosen for France. Item one: 'The American people, however, are for FralIce. Item two: France needs the le hgue more than America,
 This is cert ainly true.' Item three: "Our wise sta tesmen have always refused to share the burdens of Europe" Item four Let us make a separate peace with Germany. Ab method of being flor France this is superb It consists in saying: We are for you, Joan of Arc, Lafayette and Marshal Foch. You are the most gallant people in the world. We shall always remember you affectonately, but the less we have to do with you the better In the meantime, as proof of our undying friendship ye shall make a sepa- rate peace with the enemy"

Profit by Others Experience

As start, complete control Of the
state government of Washington In
1920 is proposed in a plan outlined by
the triple alliance" A convention Is
to be held In Seattle In January 1920
TO bring together the radicals OF all
types into one compact political or
ganization.
The /. w. w., the Non-Partisan
league and the labor Bolsheyists will
be In control and the Legislative pro-
gram adopted viii undoubtedly be in
favor OF destruction OF private proper
ty and individual property rights, for
state socialism is the goal OF the triple
alliance"
This movement Is merely an exten-
sion Of the North Dakota sociallstic
experiment with the latest radical pro-
gram added TO 1t.
The danger lies In the organization
OF the radicals more than in their
numbers.
Sane laboring men and conservative
farmers win not join the movement but
they are unorganized, hence the dan
ger.
North Dakota received a sad lesson
by allowing radcalism to secure con-
troll Of the state. Other western
states can profit by her experience.

Failure Of Government Operation

Advocates Of government operation

The fact Is, postal inefficiency from
highest authority down has been a ST.

ownership.
Deliveries local and national have
slowed up, services and collections have
been reduced I'm many cities, and work
doubled.

Lack OF living wage to hold the ex-
