haps was not as popular as some of his
fellows who were less courageous, but for
that he did not care as he preferred to be
open and honest with his fellowmen. He
had Iittle use for the fellow that runs
around the corner to talk about his neigh
Dor, and small use for the fellow that had
all kinds of opinions on public questions.
Perhaps not always right, but an honest
doer of things he goes to his reward car
rying with him the respect and regard of

The Bamberger Electric Railroad is at
tempting to raise freight and passenger
rates, which action has brought forth a
protest which has been filed with the Pub
lie Utilities Commission. 1t is strange
that the Bamberger road should attempt
to do such thing, rather we would ex-
pect it to raise its rates arbitrarily, ire
spective of law, as it did some time ago.
At that time it arbitrarily raised its pas
senger rates, perhaps freight rates also,
but as to that we do not know, and later
on was forced to retreat and go back to
the old rate. But the Bamberger road
did not return the fares it collected illeg-
ally, or at least some of the fares that we
know of, and has not even so much as Of
fered to return them. A foad that acts
thus arbitrarily should not only be pro-
tested but should have its charter re-
voked.

and superlative business of the Peace
Conference. All the fads and fancies,
the millennial dreams, reveries and ideal
isms were matters for after considera-
ton, if they were worth considering at
all. Futue conferences could match minds
and dribble "may-I-not" rhetoric through
leisurely years over these phantasies, if
thought advisable.
What the people of this country want
is peace-technical, actual peace based on
such Stacking, hog-tying and ham,
stringing Of the ravening Beast who made
a shambles of the world as will render
him impotent for evil generations to
come. We are not step nearer that end
now than we were when the mind match
ing began. The Beast does not even know
he is beaten. With every day his AFRO
gance and insolence are increasing With
every day his strength and his resources
for another debauch of blood and lust are
recuperating. His army is reorganizing
and still possessed of arms, and, as DR..
Hill says, with the prospect of adding the
recruiting resources of millions more of
population by the accession of Austria,
the Hun is flinging the defiance of his
present seventy million people in the face
of the Paris conference, and claiming ex-
emption from payment of indemnities on
the ground that the terms of peace were
agreed upon before thearmistice. In 9TH
er words agreed upon" in those pestifer-
Gus Fourteen Commandments with which
the entire proceedings have been bobbled
from the start. asa
What then,H asks DR.. Hill, "is the
coming peace to be and when will it be
concluded? Who, in fact, are the vic
tors?"
Who on earth could find the answer to
either of these questions? Nobody. We
are not going to try. We are going back
to Paris to match minds for 1.-THE

WHO ARE THE vICTORS?

Subjected to Mr.. Wilson's favorite
"acid test" just what has been done in the
three months during which the President
of the United tSates has been travelling,
speech making and mind matching in for
eign countries? AS David Jayne Hill said
in his speech before the Sons and Daugh-
tiers of the Revolution in Washington
few days ago, the test is achievement,
and he very well summarized, not the
achievement, but the lack of achievement
to date of this interminable Paris. pow

Nearly four months ago we had Ger
many beaten to fragile. Her armies
could have been forced to unconditional
surrender. Peace could have been dictat-
ed in Berlin and the war ended before
Christmas. Now, after months and
months of talking and triumphal progress
sing and matching of minds the sole re-
suit is vague, impossible document, as
sent to which by the Senate and people
of the United States is preposterously out
of the question. In the CESSATION and
bringing forth of this abortion about
quarter of year has been consumed.
Meanwhile we are no nearer peace with
Germany, no nearer to throwing off re-
strining trammels of state of technical
war, no nearer to return to normal con-
ditions than we were when the everlast-
ing palavering began. And all this be-
cause the President of the United States
with his suite of manikins, is laboring un-
der an obsession, as he himself in one of
his speeches in Italy put it, to change the,
psychology of the world" In the hearty
language of Marse Henry, to hell with the
psychology of the world! 1t is the psy-
chology Of the Hun that is to be changed

forlaity with the decencies of the civilized

BORAH QUOTES WILSON

In his New York speech the other night
Senator Borah said: II would be willing
to take Woodrow Wilson's arm and walk
arm in arm with him as William H. Taft
did here the other night, if he would stand
by this declaration which he made after
America entered the war.
"'When we go out from this presence
we ought to take with us that idea that
we are devoted to the purpose of enabling
America to live her own life, to be the
most just, the most progressive, the most
honorable nation in the world."'
Senator Borah should understand by
this time that President Wilson has no
set time to stand by any of his declara-
tons. IN AZ

ATIME FOR EDUCATION

The present is time for education
There are too many brilliant men at cross
purposes on the important message OF the
hour for all to run like sheep into one
field. President Wilson and former Pres
ident Taft have declared for the League
of Nations. One is Democrat and the
other is a Republican. Senator Reed
and Senator Borah, one Democrat and
the other Republican, have declared
against the League Of Nations, and there
are many prominent men of both parties
that have declared for League of Ma
lions but against The League of Nations.
The case from all points of view is being
placed, or will shortly be placed before
the American people, Senator Lodge is
going to debate the question with Presi-
dent Lowell of Harvard This should be
interesting as well as highly instructive,
as both are educated gentlemen, and en-
inently qualified. Others of prominence
will discuss both sides of the question,
and at present it would seem opportune
for citizens to watch, read, study and di-
gest the arguments that are presented
from time to time, and be ready to intel
igently vote on the question in case it
should be submitted to the people at
later date.
The present line up is evidence that it
is not political question, although some
may attempt to use it as such. AT any
rate there is no occasion for any citizen
to lose his head over the matter. Moth
ing will be gained by calling names, and
besides there are too many good men IN
both camps for any one to throw brick
bats. President Wilson has thrown too
many already, and so have some OF the
senator's. Now that the President is
nearing France where he can only reach
the senators at long range we trust he
viii cease throwing his brick-bats, ann
that senators will do likewise. These two
very important branches of our govern
ment should learn to dwell in peace and
harmony.
Read the editorial on this page from
Goodwin's Weekly on Secret Diplomacy
of President WILSON, 1t is one of the
best articles that has been written, but
don't get sore. Just think and decide not
to let President Wilson, nor anyone else
do your thinking, and you will be alright.

President Wilson commended that. he
mustSbe actually in touch with the peace
delegates to obtain what he wanted. 1t
seems to us that he should have been ac-
tually in touch with the United States
senator's all the time that the plans for
the league were being formulated here
and abroad so that he might know what
they wanted. In that way he could have
made valuable communications to the
senate from time to time and the senate
could have supervised the terms OF the
covenant. Inasmuch as the covenant
must be ratified by the senate it would
have been well had the senator's beer
consulted constantly regarding the plan.
One of the peculiar and deplorable re-
suits of the presidents erratic action has
been an open and public breach between
him and the senators who oppose the
league as promulgated in the Paris plan.
Some of the senators felt it incumbent on
them to reject the presidents invitation
to dinner, arguing that they would be
bound by the rules of courtesy to treat
as confidential everything said at this
secret diplomacy feast. They feared that
they might be bound to keep in confidence
things that the American people should
know.
Long ago the president should have
laid his cards on the senate table, face up.
In Europe he could not easily do that. Had
he remained at home it would have been
simplicity itself. 4a !.

The senate and the nation are in
quandary. The president comes back full
ly equipped for argument and has his op
ponents at &C disadvantage because he
thoroughly familiarized himself with his
plan while keeping the senators utterly in
the dark. Some of them have already
Numbered in their criticisms. Some of
their arguments have seemed almost jul
venile. And yet there is a great body
of skeptics who feel that, after all is said
and done, the covenant binds this country
to unending interference in the affairs of
Europe, Asia, Africa and the islands of
the seven seas.
theoretically the people want the Unit
ed States to live up to all the obligations
resulting from their entrance into the
war, but when it comes to indorsing a
League of Nations plan which involves us
in seemingly interminable adventure in
all parts of the world there are many sane
leaders like Senator Borah and millions
of plain citizens who fear that President
Wilson has committed the nation to a
scheme fraught with the deadliest dang
ers.-Goodwin's Weekly.

SECRET DIPLOMACY OF PRESI-
@ DENT WILSON

President Wilson came home to ask
that his secret diplomacy.be ratified. How
much better it would have been had he
remained at home and prepared a plan
for the League of Nations which could
have been sanctioned in advance by the
senate. We are under the necessity now
of accepting or rejecting the plari--said
to be largely Wilson's plan-already al
proved by the entente powers. If the
senate rejects the scheme it will be not
only rebuke to the president but snub
to friendly powers. In sense, therefore,
the president is using duress to force the
United States sente 20 adopt his views
formulated in secret and proclaimed as \
covenant before there was the slightest
chance to discuss any of the points in this
country.
If it be argued that there was more or
less of an idea among the people of THIS
country as to what the covenant wouli
contain it can be fatty denied. In one
of his last utterances Colonel Roosevelt,
after the Presidents departure for Eur
ope, said that no one could approve or con
denim the League of Nations because no
body knew what it was.
The president, for many good reasons,
should have remained at home, but even
if he felt the call of Europe so insistently
in his soul that he could not stay in Wash
ington and perform the duties of his Of
flee, il was incumbent on him to prepare
in advance draft of the League of Ma
tons and submit it for consideration to
the senate and the people. AT least the
general scheme could have been agreed
upon. The people would have had a
chance to discuss all the salient plans
from Roosevelt's proposal that the league
be based on few general principles and
covenants to the extreme plan of William
Howard Taft that a League to Enforce
Peace be established.
Acting as he did President Wilson COM
mitted himself to an offensive form of
secret diplomacy. All his emotional and
high sounding assurances that hereafter
international covenants must be openly
agreed upon seem hallOw and hypOcriti-
cal now that the covenants have been pre-
pared in secret and agreed to secretly in
adyence by the "high contracting par
ties" Who is there that does not feel that
he is in certain sense bound by what the
president did abroad. True, it would be a
folly, betrayal of the nation if the sen
ate were to ratify the treaty in weak
surrender to this duress; nevertheless all
of us are conscious Of the duress.
Unless the peace treaty is to be delayed
for many months our discussion must be
brief. Speaker Reed, in the campaign of
1896, referring to the silver issue, said
that the country had been called upon to
determine this great question sin less
time than IL takes To riDen a straw berry,"
Now we are called upon to approve'or re-
ject certain plan for League of Ma
tons in an even shorter period. If we re-
ject the plan there will be no league. If
the senate tries to modify the plan it viii
enter upon protracted task which viii
delay peace indefinitely. If the senate ..
