The State and the servants Of the
state.

at is just ten years since the strike
of the Government railway employees
in France promised a serious situa-
ton with which CLEMENCEAU was
called upon to deal. At that time the
fundamental principle at issue was
stated in THE SUN by DR.. NICHOLAS
MURRAY BUTLER of Columbia. We
quote from a private letter written
by him. printed then by us with his
ftpermission, and reprinted two years
later in the Congressional Record at
tho instance of Representative Nc
,CAL of Massachusetts:
"a Servants of the State in any ca
pacity-miIitary, naval or civil.are
in our Government there by their
own choice and not of necessity.
q Their sole obligation is to the State
. and its interests. There Is no anal
ogy between servant or employee
~ Scf the State and the State itself on
the one hand and the laborer and
s1BFivate or corporate capitalist on
the other.
1.-THE tendency OF public service
~ officials to organize for their own
q mutual beneft and Improvement is
well enough. SO far as it goes. The
element of danger enters when these
organizations ally or affiliate them
selves with labor unions. begin to
use labor union methods, and take
~ the attitude of labor unions toward
capital in their own attitude toward
~ the State.
~ SIN my Judgment loyalty and trea-
son ought to mean the same thing in
the civil service that they do In the
military and naval services. The
door to get out Is always open IL
one does not wish to serve the pub
Hc on these terms. Indeed. am not
eure that as civilization progresses
loyalty and treason in the civil SER
vice will not become more important
and more vital than loyalty and trea-
son in the military and naval SER
sices. The happiness and prosperity
Of a community might be more easily
wrecked by the paralysis OF its postal
and telephone services, for example,
than by a mutiny on shipboard.
! rJust as soon as any human being
puts the interest OF a group or class
to which he belongs. or conceives
himself to belong. above the interest
ef the State as q whole, at that mo-
uient he makes II impossible for him
Y elf to be q good citizen.
~ cit may be that the exact line be-
tween o mutual benefit organization
ysnd q trade union is not easy to
Hdraw; but think 1t must be drawn
and insisted upon so FAR as Govern
Ement employees are concerned. I'M
less we are to permit communism to
organize itself under our flag and at
the expense OF the taxpayers them
selves
ITO me the situation which this
problem presents 10. beyond compari-
son, the most serious and the most
far reaching which the modern de-
mocracies have to face. It will be-
come more insistent and more diff
cult as Government activities multi
MY and as the number of civil SER
vice employees increases"
~
We reproduce this clear and pre-
scient exposition of question which
as DIR. BUTLER said ten years ago
win wreck every democratic govern
ment In the world unless 1t is face(
sturdily and settled bravely on right
eous lines.

 AZ QUERETAR0

Queretaro, Mexico, Aug. 6-Opal mining in this district, an industry as yet untouched by foreign capital, has shown renewed activity with the close of the war and normal num- Der of men will soon be at work. The Queretaro district for more than sixty years had furnished virtually all of the opals sold in the republic, most of the valuable gems going to deal CTS in Mexico City who in turn ship them to the United States. Primitive methods are still used here to secure the gems. Dynamite is used to bias. the gems from the ground. After the rock is broken into siza ble pieces it is taken to the shops for the grinding and polishing processes. Modern methods are not used, the rough stones merely being placed on spin dles and applied to an ordinary grindstone worked by foot power.

NEW LONDON TO

 FOREIGN TRADE

The efforts of Congressman Angus tine Lonergan to have New London designated as a shipping port for foreign trade and the agreement of the Shipping Board to assent if the required guarantee of cargo can be made and carried out is not only important to New London and the Chamber of Commerce of that city and the State Rivers and Harbors Commission at whose instance Con- gressrnan Lonergan acted, but will be of vital importance to the entire State of Connecticut and particularly Its manufacturers and others now en- gagged in foreign trade and those who expect to 50 engage.
 It is calculated that If the designa- ton is made that in addition to busi- ness from this State, that part of Rhode Island. Western Massachusetts, all of Vermont, and the surplus cargo from Boston would be handled at the New London pier.
 The case rests with New London which should have the cooperation of the Connecticut Chamber of Com merce as Congressman Lonergan has done his part promptly and efficient 1y

Jerusalem, July 6-Many children are injured each day Tn Palestine by shells and explosives which were scattered throughout the country dur ing the open warfare between the Turks and the Allies. The battle fields cover such a large area that careful salvaging' has been impossi- ble, and the result is that children, farmers, or peasant women arc mangled almost every day by acci- dental explosions.
 A large number of the cases treat ed in the American Red Cross sur gical hospital here have been bomb or abdominal cases, according to the physician in charge.

 Lansing said 1t was true that Presi- dent Wilson had cabled the French Premier, requesting that the confi- dential minutes of the proceedings of the commission on the League of Ma uons be not furnished to the French Senate.
 MT. Lansing did not recall how the American plan differed from that eventually adopted. Asked by Senator Brandegee, Republican. Connecticut, whether it was true that the American plan was drafted by two New York lawyers for the President the witness replied:
 'I think that is not true"
 And was the plan not destroyed be- cause it was so absurd 2" asked Mr. Brandegee.
 T never heard of that" said MT. Lansing
 The Secretary said he thought the plan now embodied in the League Cov- enant was a decided improvement" on the American plan. He could not was not a member of the commission which drafted the Covenant. The American plan, he thought, was "along the sams general lines" as the one adopted.

 Non-union operators began pulling their cars into the barns at 7:30 a. m, saying they were afraid to run. Meanwhile police protection was ask ed for. A number of minor dis turbances occurred in the early hours, due principally to strikers and picl<ets boarding cars and urging the crews to quit. The greatest congestion was in South Brooklyn, where thousands of persons were forced to walk. Coney Island practically was isolated so far as ''L" trains were concerned, few of the trains reaching there. No tick cts were sold and guards were sta- toned to keep the people out at the beach side resort depots.

CLARK SCORES 6. 0. p. LEADERS
 AS CR0WLERS
Presidents Critics De. nounced By Famous
 Speaker.

Washington, D. C.. Aug. 6.-Aptly referring to the Republican party as
 "a concentrated grow1," Champ Clark
 Democratic leader, flayed the carping
 critics of President Wilson in a spirit ed speech in the House of Represen-
 tatives during a debate over the veto of the Sundry Civil appropriation bill because of the inadequate amount apportioned for the vocational train ing of disabled American soldiers. Ii was noticeable that the remainder of the debate was barren of presidential criticism; moreover, the appropriation for the soldiers was raised from six to fourteen million dollars through Democratic insistence.
 "I have not always agreed with President Wilson, said MT. Clark. "and I never do agree with everything that any man who ever lived does. and never will. When have differed with him I have come out into the open and fought like a man, taking all the islander, lies and filth which editors, hoping for some reward, could heap on me. I have not sidled in and out as the gentleman from Wyoming (Mondel1, Republican floor leader) and his followers are do- ing,
 Certainly the great Republican party does not propose to reduce it. self simply to a concentrated grow1? But that is exactly what you are do- ing. The whole speech of the gentle man from Wyoming was nothing but grow1, and he is getting to be the greatest growler on the American continent, bar none.
 Anybody can find fault. That is one of the easiest performances known among mon. Any plug can go out with an ordinary telescope and find spots on the sun. They are there: they have always been and always will be; but notwithstanding the spots the sun continues to warm and light and fructify the world. You can talk all you please about the spots on the present President of the United States, but notwithstanding. the fact stands forth that by the verdict of the civilized world he is the foremost mna in all the world. He needs no eulogy. As Daniel Webster said abour Massachusetts, There she stands and you can judge for yourself and there is not a man in the House who has any respect for his own reputation, both for intelligence and veracity. not a single one, who will deny that by the universal Suffrage of Amer ica he stands at the toh of the heap"
