Mrs Charles Ii. Farnum, Of New York city, mas
sent to Premier Clemenceau- a resolution signed
Iv five million women Of America denounclng
as infamous and sinister the German attacks on
humanity through womarkind. They demand
that all officers soldiers and civilians belonging
TO the armies Of the central powers who perpe-
trated any crime against women and girls III
any allied country shall be punished II possible
especially In patent and notorious cases. The
allied nations are asked to take measures to
deal adequately with the situation and also to
take steps to prevent such deeds in the future
The women of America went far afeld, and
with apparent good reason, in sending this reso-
luton to the right man. They foresaw its fate
had they submitted it to the foremost represen-
tative of the United States at the peace con-
ference In the hands of Clemenceau, it will
not be pigeonholed by influences which would

Chicago Tribune: Director General
Hines wants the inland waterways
co-ordinated with the railroads; OF
course he first must have waterways.
This puts the matter right where
we can shoot at 1t. The biggest
waterway possible In the United
States is one that will connect the
st. Lawrence system with the Mis-
sissippi valley system.
There is nothing the matter with
the Mississippi river 1t is navigabie
and it serves a tremendous territory.
There is nothing the matter with the
ST Lawrence and the great lakes.
They are navigable and also serve a
tremendous territory.
One thing is lacking. 1t is canal
in Illinois that win unite these two
great systems. For lack of a forty
mile canal thousands of miles OF
navigable rivers and lakes are denied
their full capacity for serving this
nation. This Illinois canal has been
agitated in Illinois for the last
eighteen years.
What is the obstruction?
The obstruction is the United

What's Holding The Waterways?

States government engineers, who
have persistently found objections.
In spite of the fact that this short
connection would make possible a
vast transportation system, 1t has
never got beyond the point OF local
agitation.
So now we present Mr.. Hines a
neat way of advancing the inland
waterway problem. II he is sincerely
in favor OF a continental system Of
co-ordinating common carriers. let
him exercise his energy toward dig
ging the Illinois canal If he thinks
the government should have juris-
diction over the inland waterways.
let him urge the government to pre-
sent itself with an enormous asset.
Thousands Of miles of waterways,
connecting the Atlantic with the Gulf
of Mexico and with the Panama ca
nal. are to be had almost for the
asking. Only a few miles OF exca-
waiting stands in the way
Mr. Hines needn't argue with the
people. The people are in favor OF
it. Let him convince the govern
ment bureaucrats that huge project
is being .obstructed.

pIsapproves Of New Draft.

To the Editor or the cate Olly.
The official summary of the revised
constitution Of the proposed league OF
nations, made public at Paris on April
twelfth. has led many of your readers,
no doubt, to believe that the object
ionable features of the first draft have
ceen eliminated and that the new
document should therefore be salts
factory to those who had condemned
the old one.
AS one who disapproved the first
draft because It called for an intoler-
llc derogation of fundamental Amer
lean rights, l shall as vigorously OPP
pose the second, for the same reason.
While the leagues powers over the
western hemisphere seem to have
been abridged, by an apparent exclli-
zion Of the matter of the Monroe doc
trine from its jurisdiction, 1t has not
ct all been made certain that the
league will be rendered powerless to
assert itself here, by putting it's own
Interpretation upon the Monroe doc
trine, as we'll as upon other clauses
of the instrument, and intruding upon
American affairs whenever American
affairs present international aspects.
The officially announced revision
says: "The covenant does not affect
the validity Of international engage
nents, such treaties of arbitration or
regional understandings like the Mon
roe doctrine, for securing mninten-
ance OF peace" The Monroe doctrine
is in the first place not an "interna-
tional engageme emit" 1t may be a
regional understanding" IT, as seems
unlikely, the phase regional under
standing may properly be used to
describe policy proclaimed by one
nation the validity OF which has never
been acknowledged by any other ma
ton to which it may be applied.
In the second place, tho Monroe
doctrine has never been fully expressed
in any one state paper. 1t is lolicy
founded upon congressional message

AN INTERESTING AGGREGATION.


Hotel Crillon frequently before his recent re-
turn from Paris found gathered there the most
unique assortment of Americans on whom he
ever laid eyes. The big hotel was so crowded
with them as to suggest that they must be Sleep
ing three in bed; and during waking hours. as
far as casual visitor could discover, no one OF
them ever had anything to do. No building
ever rooted queerer collection. Most of them
had never heard before of any Of the others or
imagined that the country had produced such
specimens, Heterogeneous and defylng classlhca-
Ition Alleged experts, putative specialists with
their assistants, secretaries, red-tapers, facto-
ttums, servitors, they all sat there day after day
in uneventful Obesity, rocking-they have rock
ing chairs in the Hotel Crillon-watching one
another looking out of the windows, studying
each chance arrival, rejecting, talking, argu-
ing, putting meditatively on their pipes or
ftloughtfully cutting wedges from plugs OF to-
bacco. Naturally they know little of what is
going on They are in Paris but not OF it, be-
lwildered by the swirling life around them
What they are paid nobody, unless it be the
|paymaster of the travelling aggregation. knows;
and why they are paid probably would puzzle
him. How they are paid is happily little
Iclearer, since it be only out Of the one hun
idred and fifty millions which congress put in
the presidents hands.
Apropos of this, cable despatch recently re-
lated that Barney Baruch, who is over there In
some underlined capacity, had chit the fund.-
for one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, the
president having given him his check or
voucher for that amount. No farther light is
thrown on the transaction. No hint is given
why he got it, or how many such little dona-
itions, if any, he had received before. 1t was
Just an unrelated fact, cabled across because it
!came to light and as of possible interest to the
friends Of this astute financier. Perhaps we
shall know more about it as time goes on. Con-
gress gave President Mckinley fifty millions to
be spent at his discretion when the war with
Spain began and he established precedent by
presenting an itemized account of the uses to
which he put it. He did this voluntarily, con-
isidering it the fitting thing to do and that
enemies might have no ground on which to base
an innuendo. As the same phraseology was
used by congress in the creation Of both funds,
presumably the same course may be found ex-
pedient by President Wilson; and we shall then
know what it cost the public to keep the Hotel
Crillon packed to the caves by the aggregation
which rocks and runinates and reminisces and
cogitates and speculates and waits for meal
time and for bed time in the crowded lobby day
after day, week after week.

OPEN DISCUSSIONS.

The presidents demand in the first Of his
fourteen points for 'open covenants OF peace
openly arrived att has worked out in secret
covenants secretly arrived at and studiously
withheld from the beligerent peoples, and even
from the peace conference delegates of the
smaller states. Things often if not usually hap
pen that way; and it would be interesting when
the treaty is finally published to compare it
with the fourteen principles, taking them up
seriatim to see how much remains of them.
But when the treaty as finally perfected
reaches the senate, all the mystery and secrecy
which enshroud it will be swept away. Sen
ator Lodge declares in favor of abolishing ex-
ecutive sessions and openly discussing it on the
floor. This course undoubtedly will be follow
ed; and the press will carry to every corner OF
the land every important utterance OF every
senator Upon the subject. This is eminently
proper. Each state has right to know where
its senators stand, and the people of the coun-
try, who are the rulers of the country, are en-
titled to every fact about matter so vital to
their welfare and that of the world.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Knoxville Journal: The Legislature
is to be congratulated upon making a
long step in advance in The mater
of good roads legislation. While the
law enacted represents a compro-
mise, as practically all legislation
must, 1t opens the door to better
roads and puts the whole proposition
squareiy up to the counties.
Mason City Globe-Gazette: The
fact that Mr.. Clum wants an open
trial would seem to indicate that he
is clear in his own mind and that he
lis not guilty of the charges.
Des Moines Capital: Governor
Harding's course is now plain. He
can proceed with the discharge OF
his duties by giving careful attention
to everything and being careful in
his appointments. He can thank a
large body of friends for rallying to
his support. He can thank the demo
Gratis of the state for their help In
defeating a further effort to impeach.
The democrats were in shape to be
heard without any self interest. If
the governor can avoid the danger
to hand himself all the bouquets
after the fight IS over-he will be
wise man.
Cedar Falls Record: 1t is known
that Mr.. Havner had hopes OF being
made governor Of Iowa. His chances
have gone glimmering along with
those of Hardings for the vice presi-
dency.
Rockwell City Advocate: Havner
has many good points. He has done
some good things for the state. But
he has shown consistently and en-
Iphatically and unquestionably that he
is not gubernatorial material and he
never will be. He has disastrous de-
fleets plenty.
Waterloo Times-Tribune: Thus
goes Harding from public life. Thus
goes his political ambitions Con-
sidering that politics and office hold
ing have been his life's work; con-
sidering that he hoped to succeed
Senator Cummins in the United
States senate, 1t is serious blow
that has befallen Harding.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: At dis
lance of 40 miles from Des Moines
we are unable to quite understand
why Woodwork Clum's demand for
a public hearing before the sena-
torial Investigating committee should
not be granted. We hold no brief for
Clum, but he is entitled to square
deal.
