Oklahoman Answers Arguments

SAYS LOOGE FOR AUTOCRACY
Cites His Advocacy for League

"Waging War Against Mankind
Not Against Woodrow wilson,"

Washington. Aug. s0.-Replying in
the senate today to arguments pre-
scented by Chairman Lodge of the for
eign relations committee against unre-
served ratification of the peace treaty,
Senator owen. Democrat. Oklahoma,
declared Mr.. Lodge had been blinded
by partisanship and by a district OF
popular institutions.
Holy Alliance and the League.
Referring to the committee chair
mans parallel between the League of
Nations and the ill-famed Holy Alli-
ance. Mr.. owen said the argument had
overlooked the intrigue and the auto
cratic selfishness which surrounded
the alliance.
The fact that wars followed the
treaty of the Holy Alliance" he con-
tinued." was because this treaty was
between military dynasties, made by
monarchial autocracies, each COM
trolled by intrigue. The senator from
Massachusetts believes that the prom
Uses of these royal scoundreis may be
justly compared with the promises and
aspirations OF the honest, organized
democracies of the whole world.
THE trouble with the senator from
Massachusetts, is that he really be-
lieves in the rule of the few over
many. He does not believe the peo-
pie ought to have the right to initiate
laws they want or veto laws they do
not want. He looks upon them with
less confidence than he did upon the
military autocracy. for the senator
favored a league in 1915, when the
autocracies were in full power.
Lodge Inconsistent?
THE galleries always applaud when
a senator strikes an oratoricel pose
and thunders forth his sturdy Amer
icanism. But the senator's American
ism did not prevent him from makiht,
an argument at Union college in 1915
in favor of a League OF Nations. Am
l going too far If 1 appeal from Philip
drunk to Philip sober?
HE is not as he thinks. waging a
war against woodrow Wilson. He is
waging a war against the desires and
the hopes of all mankind. Let him
beware OF throwing himself and his
blinded partisans across the path of
the righteous judgment OF mankind"

NO CAUSE THAT WE GAN SEE

It is still being predicted that the country will meet some social and industrial unrest before we can return to pre-war conditions. But that is inevitable in a time of change such as that we are passing. But we see no real basis for the panicky utterances of some of the prophets of evil whose voice is being heard every day.
 That the country is on sound economic basis cannot be questioned. We have laws with which to protect the liberty of the individual without permitting license either to the individual or to a mass of individuals. Our country has before it an era of industrial development that will more than absorb the men who have been thrown out of employment as a consequence of the change

There have been misunderstanding between our government delegates at the peace confer ence and the governments of theallies in Europe admits British official. That is not surprising Our countrys traditional isolation from Europe has been a handicap in dealing with the peace situation as it did with the war However, the neace treaty is to be ready for signature this week. From that we assume that the misun- derstandings referred to by the British official have been smoothed over, for which the whole world is thnkful.

FUTILE ANGER

Why the President should feel chagrin over recent events in Washington may be readily un- derstood. He is fully aware of the significance of the notice which the Senate has openly serv- ed upon him.
 Any dream of omnipotence, any thought that he reigned alone with power that exceeded that of the kaiser and that his role is not to cooper ate and to consult, but to command, has been rudely broken. He is under no illusion now. His boastful implication that he is the only one who knows the thought of America is hollow, pathe- tically so It may please him to continue to call out, a Mahomet, Allah is Allah and am the prophet of Allah" but the words lack au- snc~ity Neither the senate nor the people are willing to be ordered about as if children to whom it is unnecessary to explain.-New York Tribune

LOOKS QUEER FROM A DISTANCE

A report short time ago had 1t that man well versed in German conditions said that 1t was his opinion that the Spartocan and other bolster ous movements in Germany were kept allVed only as a means of blackman against the allles That when the peace treaty is signed,all this lamentation will cease. That Germany then will have used the Spartacans to the utmost to black mail the allies into sending food and granting merciful conditions of peace, the trouble makers will have served their purpose and will disappear
 A Swiss newspaper followed this statement with the opinion that the change in German gov ernment was one of name only. That the officials who governed under the kaiser are still in prac- tically every office That most of the leaders are the same. That the mass of German opinion is the same and that the Spartacus movement is an affair that will be disposed of when it suits German purpose to do so. Conclusively, a re- volutionary party that is led by such men as von Bernstorff and pr. Albert and welcomes home the arch-murderer Ludendorff, looks queer at least from a distance and most people will agree that Germany needs watching.

from war basis to peace basis. As matter of fact, the period of change may be said to be well advanced. Industry is meeting the changed conditions in the majority of cases. willing ness to cooperate between capital and labor is apparent. One of these fine days we will wake up and discover that the terrors of readjust- ment so dreaded by some, were mostly one big bogy, that the transition period is over and that the country is working under forced draft to keep pace with the gigantic opportunities for development of industry and commerce which the war opened for it.

COALITION
GOVERNMENT
MAY Be SPLIT
Officials of England Believe
Naturalization of Mines
Will Have Effect.

London, July Observation-Disclosures
Of the Associated Press.)-Belief is
held by some political observers that
the parliamentary battle over the pro-
posed Naturalization of mines and
railways may split the coalition gov
eminent of Great Britain.
The coal magnates are trying to
rally the mine owners to defend their
rights and the whole principle Of
private ownership of under earth de-
posits is at stake.
The government has an arrange
nnent by which Lord Cowdray's ex-
perts are exploring for oil and the
Labor party and many Liberals pro-
pose that the government shall deny
any right of privat ownership in oil
fields.
A~hundred members Of the coalition

tested to the prime minister agains,

Geddes. control over highways, road
transport, railways, tramways, docks,
canals and coastwise shipping. 1t is
now proposed to add electric power.
Sir Eric claims that the ministry
will have no greater authority than
the board of trade formerly held.
Opponents charge that the bill makes
him a dictator with far more power
than Secretary McAdoo had in the
United States as director general OF
railroads. and that his office nigh,

ways were heavily armed and when
eve challenged by the border police
a pistol battle invariably resulted.
Nearly a score of dry policemen
bear the scars of bullet wounds as a
result Of their efforts to break up the
liquor traffic between Baltimore and
this city. The "boot-leggers" have
even had pistol battles among them
selves here in the streets of Washing
ton, with tho result that there has
grown up in the national capital a
large band of pretty handy pistol
"toters," who have not hesitated to
use their guns, n with absolute i'm
munity.
A careful inquiry into the causes of
the riots of last week develops the
fact that they were started by a few
soldiers, sailors and marines. These
soldiers, sailors and marines had in
vaded the southwest section of the
city known as the home of the boot
logger. There they had been solicited
by colored men who offered liquor for
sale. The soldiers. sailors and marines
had gladly parted with SO each for
h%alf-pint lots Of supposed blockade
whisky. Every one in Washington
knows that blockade whisky is bad
enough at best. In the language of the
west, it would make the most timid
jack rabbit spit in a bulldogs face.
But the soldiers. sailors and marines
had even a worse les put over or
them, or at least they sc regarded it.
After much secret bargaining they
emerged from the lair of the boot
leggers n upon opening their prec-
ious half-pint TASKS found they were
flied with cold tea. Scores of soldiers,
sailors and marines, it would seem,
had been treated in the same manner
The result was raid planned solely
4 a 90 i1ct tho hop{-1oroovS IF tho S01,fh-
west. That is how the trouble started.
| And of course, once started, it spread
throughout the city.
The shoot-leggers. knowing the raid
was intended against them, soon took
! matters into their own hands, and
manning their outlaw cars they pro-
ceeded to tour the city and to "shoot
up" everything in sight.
1t is manifestly unfair to the law
abiding white and colored people OF
Washington alike to mix them UP in
this outbreak of the known lawless
elements Of the city.
1t is undoubtedly difficult for out
siders to realize the money the boot
leggers have made out of their illicit
traffic or to appreciate their arrog.
ance in defying the law. Under the
impression that all the colored resi-.
dents Of Washington were under at.
tack. outsiders interested in the race
have rushed here and put themselves
in the position Of defending the known
lawbreakers and pistol 'toters." A lit.
tie more discrimination on their par
might have accomplished more perma.
nent results.
The riots and the extra police and
provost guards have for the time be.
ing put the bootlegger entirely out OF
commission, and as a result Washing.
ton is quiet.

B0LSHEVIK
MAKE GAINS
Claim Allied Officers Are
Arrested by Their Own
Soldiers.

London, Aug. Successes for the
Bolsheviki in the Omega sector Of the
Archangel front are reported in a So
Wet official statement sent by wireless
from Moscow. The statement declares
the Bolshevik forces have advanced
fourteen miles aided by a mutiny
among the allied troops.
The text Of this portion of the COM
munication reads:
I'VE have advanced IA miles north
ward on the Omega sector. The ad-
vance was preceded by a rising of
white regiments who arrested resist
ing officers n handed them over to
our side"
The official statements bears date
of July 81 and the rising reported ap-
pears to have been subsequent to the
recent muitiny among the Russian
troops on the Archangel front report
ed by the British army authorities.
The Moscow message also. reports
unrest in Siberia. 1t claims that there
is an insurgent front extending from
Tashkent in Turkestan to Nikolayevsk
on the Amur. In the region of the
Amur, it is declared, the insurgents
annihilated a large detachment of
| Japanese recently. In addition it is as
serted that an important Bolsheviki
detachment is advancing from north
ern Siberia toward Tomsk.

BIG CHANGE IN

Report Says He Will Effect

Stockholm. Aug. 1.-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press)-The Svenska Dag
bladt is informed by persons closely
connected withs the Russian Soviet
government that Nikolai Lenine, the
premier, intends to begin a drastic
change of policy and then retire. One
condition of his retirement will be
that Leon Troszky, the Bolshevik war
minister, be left in command Of the
red army.
At recently held meetings Of the
Soviet commissaries, the newspaper
informants say, the question of giving
power into the hands of other. Socialis-
tic parties was earnestly. discussed
but Lenine declared the best way to
check reaction as represented by Ad-
miral Kolchak, head of the all Rus
sian government at Omsk. would be
to drop power for a time In order to
prbve that no other party was able to
feorganize Russia
This. Lenine %~ commended. would
strengthen the Bolshevik and enable
them to resume power. <Lenine's
views were shared by George iTchit-
cherin, the commissary for foreign
affairs.
