ROUMANIAN QUEEN TO VISIT US

Queen Marie of Roumania may
soon visit the United States. Whether
the trip will be made before or after
the conclusion Of the peace conference
has not been decided. Queen Marie
says that for many years her most
cherished hope has been to visit the
United States, and now she is looking
forward to the early fulfillment OF that
hope.

much at home in America as in my

PHILANDERING IN PUBLIC.

4 How little consideration the rest of the world
would get from any class of people able to inn
pose their will and ways upon it. All history
has furnished repeated evidence of this. The
world has never wanted for persons who would
make spiritual, mental and physical beds for
mankind to rest on; and 1t sometimes seems as
though there We're more of them on earth to-
day than ever before. Speaking of one of his
iproclamatlons, the great Lincoln said that ut
was not put forth as a Procrustean bed TO which
conformity was Indispensable But today we
have president of different type determined
to fit the nation to his league instead of making
that to fit the nation S need.
Fancy for a moment what a wearing expert
lence life would be if all the would-be regulators
i of our beliefs, our diet, our manners and our
morals had the power to impose their own par
lticular ideas upon us. A New York City wom-
an who seems to be a femme sole and misog
anist, denounces In the newspapers the dis
gushing and revolving" practice of billing and
leooing on the roof seats of the buses on Fifth
avenue. She does not charge that there was
actual bussing, though bus would seem TO be
ia natural place for such endearments: but the
tphilandering and the fondling, the ogiing and
the sleeps eyes young couples obhvious of her
presence cast upon each other. annoyed her
very much, and she demanded that such prac-
itices be penalized they are IN the public
parks.
What cold, gray, gloomy and lugubrious

she could; and who knows but that anti

IN PLACE OF THE LEAGUE.

In one of the first speeches that President
Wilson made on his present peripatetic fight for
the league of nations, he demanded that the
senator's who would reject the league and treaty
offered them for ratification give the people
something in place of it. But that is precisely
what they have done. They offer him and the
people amendments and reservations IN the
treaty now before them that will make it accord
with American ideals and safeguard American
interests.
They accept most of the treaty and league
but desire both to be more American than they
are at present. They are offering President
Wilson something in place of the league. What
more does he want? In this demand many viii
think him unreasonable. He has right to OBJ
iect to these amendments and reservations, but
he cannot honestly charge that they are not
something in place of the league which he Of

WORK OF THE TARIFF COMMISSION.

The tariff commission seems threatened with
disintegration. Professor Taussig resigned
some time ago as chairman. The course Of
sprouts which he was put through while con
nected with that body seems TO have been ef-
fective in one particular-it worked radical
change In his views on the tariff question, and
from a pronounced free trader who had Taught
and written for that principle, he gradually
worked over to conversion as protectlonlst, II
his published views while chairman of the COM
mission are any criterion.
The tariff commission has had a career which
merits brief review: 1t was appointed by
President Wilson after he had held out for
some years against it The act providing for
the commission made it mandatory that a BIZ
partisan body should be appointed, so Mr.. Will
son appointed four Wilson democrats and two
eancy, he appointed Thomas Walker Page, now
democrat who served on the old tariff board
which was killed in 1913
The tariff commission, since its organization,
seems to have busted itself in haphazard way
in the study of various commodities included in
the tariff schedules. Strive as they may have
striven to make their investigations harmonic
with the principle of free trade, they seem to
have been unable conscentiously to do so and
most of their published reports show a distinct
trend toward the protective principle For
this they are to be credited as having subor-
dinated personal bias to cold facts.
It is difficult to maintain, on the face of the
record, that the tariff commission, as at present
constituted, has justified its existence and the
amount of money which it has expended. Some

BILLY SUNDAY AND HIS WORK

ample. There is no answer TO
the question he asks as he points
TO the five players of the old
Chicago champions who sat on

arose and announced that he had

them There is nothing to be
said, and no man who hears that

thing. He simply shuts the
door and nails ii UP. And while
he is doing it. he is able to fix
an almost startled attention.
MIR. Sunday is a great orator.

might have CHANGED filling the
Sunday tabernacle twice in one
day, with men only. TO listen to
an address on booze. But even
that may be doubted. Certainly

in American thought that Mr..
Bryan. or Mr.. Roosevelt, or
President Wilson. or any speaker
that may be named. dare attempt
to fill the tabernacle with men
