"Wilson Time"

To The Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In to-days Tribune c. F. V. writes
that he wants information. He needs it.
He says he cannot see how change Of time
can affect a dairy and the Tribune claims
that change Of train schedule will relieve
tho situation, as far as the dairy farmer is
concerned Tho Tribune also maintains that
the farmer can work by sun time and thus
avoid the losses which it is freely admitted
the farmer does suffer with Wilson" time
AS matter of fact most farmers do quit
work by sun time, but their help quit by
clock time Therefore, the regular work
must be done before the help quits, which
means that tho nights milking must be dono
one hour earlier than usual, with the result
that the mornings milking must likewise bo
moved. forward one hour, for it Is n recog-
nized fact that the mlkings must be donc
at near equal intervals as possible, No
change of trains will make our help work
later and no assertion by c. +. v. will make
cows think that they will give as much
milk if they not milkcd every twelve
hours.
1t Is unnecessary to cnumerate the nanv
Inconvenience and losses which the truck
and dairy farmers have imposed on them by
this scheme, for you frankly admit that thew
arc nggrieved But do you realize that those
two classes include probably 90 per cent of

However much one may cavil at the re;on

Solid Nebraska
(From The Nebraska state JournaN


The movement against the teaching Of
foreign languages in the elementary schools
has resulted during the present year in
the Introduction of prohibitory bills in
just onc-half of the states of the Union.
Seven Of these bills have already passed and
others will be passed no doubt in the near
future. The seven new laws are practi-
cally all like the Nebraska enactment, pro-
hibting the teaching of foreign languages
in the public schools below the eighth
grade and allowing the teaching Of foreign
tongues rs languages only in the high
schools and colleges. Religious instruction
in foreign tongues is quito generally per-
mitted. The movement toward putting the
private and dcnominational schools under
the inspection of tho state seems to be
general. Nebraska is going with tho rest
of the Union in this matter without a doubt

Mooney as a Class War Victim

The last heard from Mooney, whose
case is again brought to public atten-
tion by the publication of the Densmore
report, was a protest from him against
any general or other strikes to compel
his release. He said in effect that those
agitating along these lines were doing
him more harm than good-were max
ing his vindcation difficult, if not i'm
possible.
Mooney, if innocent, is not only a
victim of dastardly inversion of JUS
tice but of the class war, or rather of
the attempts Of certain elements to fos-
ter class war; if he was put in prison
by capitalist conspirators, those who
seek to use him as a propaganda ex-
hibit help to keep him there.
The man either threw the bomb or he
did not. If he did, his punishment is too
small. If he did not, then the plotters
against him should occupy the cell his
release would empty. Mooney and
Fichert-one or the other is dangerous
There is no place for compromise.
The jury, after hearing the evidence,
voted Mooney was guilty. But a large
number of circumstances throw doubt
on the integrity Of the verdict. Speak
ing generally, those who have studied
the case (and no opinion is of value
which is not the result of painstaking
examination) have commonly reached
the opinion either that Mooney is inno-
cent or that there is doubt and another
trial should be accorded.
The issue thus in no way relates to
the class war. The question is not as
TO the opinions, but the acts, of Mooney.
Has he received simple and old-fash-
ioned justice?
In Petrograd were mass meetings de-
.nanding MONEYS instant release. Who
attended these meetings? Men and
women who knew nothing as to whether
Mooney is guilty or not Elsewhere
Mooney meetings have been held. attend
ed by persons similarly in complete
ignorance. Obviously such declarations
are of no value. The declarants are in
structed not by the facts of the case
but by their inner consciousness.
Now, the game Of following an inner
consciousness is one all can play at. 1t
has happened that as one group "knew"
Mooney was railroaded SO another
group knew" that he was a black
hearted anarchist, meriting immersion
IN boiling OIL Shuttlecocl of this sort
Is futile; there has been little cxanjna-
ton Of the pertinent facts.
Mr.. Densmore seems afflicted with Tho
common distemper and is more fluent in
Characterization and conclusion than in
summary of the evidence. He is con.
v!nced that Mooney has suffered ~ tbe
hands Of corporate influences; the next
investigator may happen to be one with
strong feelings on the subject Of an
archism and may treat the public to n
dissertation on the extreme wickedness
Of radical ideas expressed by Mooney
Is there not soma way to get the
Mooney case out Of TIE quagmire Of ir-
relevancy? Can 1t not be lifted out of
the class war discussion and be iudoed
on it's nnerits-as American public opin-
ION has often judged the results Of
criminal trials when there was bas,a

had been done? The effort is worth
making, and we commend an undertak-

going out of our way to support back
ward people and an alien race which is
more akin to them, and that we are doing
this (while conniving in British and other
aggress'ons) chiefly in hostility to them.
The Japanese asked in Paris, and Allied
statesmen supported their contention. that
if, as the Chinese claimed their treaty of
1915 was invalid because it was imposed bv
force, why were not scores of other treaties
which had been similarly imposed on China
by Britain, France, Germany, Russia .and
the United States likewise invalid?
Our authorities
+. t. Williams and Captain Hornbeck, the
American authorities on the subject took
the view that Japan's aggressions went fur
ther than those of other nations and were
more dangerous. But after the discussion
had gone on for months the President in
effect, finally replied to the Japanese dele
cation: eyes, you are right. If we deny you
the terms of the treaties of May, 1915 we
must in justice withdraw ourselves-Amer-
lea and the European nations-from the
Chinese Empire that the white powers
opened by military force
The Chinese campaign in Paris was di-
rected almost entirely at the American del
egation and the American press this coun-
try being their only formidable supporter;
and after their failure the Chinese turned
their attention to the American people and
Senate, various members of their delegation
coming to this country to continue their
propaganda here. With few exceptions the
Chinese delegation was composed of young
men who had attended American schools or
colleges and spoke English we'll They are
of the group that represents the best in
present day China, but which is unfortu-
nately inadequate in numbers to meet the
needs of the vast, unwedy empire. The
Chinese employed one or two experienced
American writers to assist with their propa-
ganda, and, like many other delegations,
spent good deal of money in entertain
ment and printed matter.
New-York tribune., 1919-07-25
Why australia Yielded

An exception to the general attitude tow
ard the Chinese claims in Paris was that of
the Australian and New Zealand delegates
Mr.. Hughes, the Australian Premier, was no
admirer Of President Wilson, with whom he
had several serious disputes, and whom he
dubbed with the title formerly held by the
Kaiser, the All Highest; but because of
Australia's fear of Japanese encroachment
Hughes, like the American delegates, IA
vored the Chinese case until persuaded
that the British Foreign Office knew its
business and had no intention of sacrific-
ing the Pacific colonies.
Before America went into the war the
hard pressed Allies had been compelled to
pledge support to Italy and Japan in their
respective claims in return for military as
sistance from the former and munitions,
supplies, shipping and naval aid from the
latter The Allies stood by these pledges
in Paris, although the President for long
time argued that by accepting the fourteen
points, and because the league of nations
was being created new order of interna-
tional relations was born, and the "secret
treaties" should not hold good. The Allies
replied that the pledges were acknowledged
as valid and would be made good if Japan
and Italy exacted payment.

Woman,s Real Wisdom

A very wise woman once made the
simple remark apropos of her philos-
ophy of life. that she accepted the uni
verse. The observation came 10 the
ears Of Thomas Carlyle, who splut-
tered out in his dynamic way, Cad
sir, It's well she does" But Carlyle
and the woman who made the remark
put two entirely different interpreto-
lions upon 1t. The man meant that
it was well she did accept It, for there
wns precious little she could change
by refusing TO do so. But the woman
meant that she nodded her life into
lines Of character and personality aud
cndeayor which enabled her TO nc
cept the best Of the universe and re-
Jet the rest.
