The Appropriateness of Mr..
Wilson heading the peace dele
cation to Paris is growing more
apparent every day, and is sure
to prove embarrassing and hu-
initiating to the President, and
at the same time place the Sen
ate in a delicate position. Mr..
Wilson no doubt figured that if
he personally attended the con-
ference, aided in framing the
treaty and League of Nations,
the Senate would be compelled
to give approval, but in this in
stance he will meet with disap-
pointment. For the past two
years the American Congress
has been a gathering of STOOL
pigeons voting as the President
dictated, and he probably had in
mind the approval of his peace
treaty and League of Nations.
when he pulled his political bone
head last fall demanding the
return of a democratic Congress
to help him bring the war to a
successful issue. The people by
their votes said they were oppos-
ed to a Mexican dictatorship un-
der our form Of government, and
wanted the power of Congress
restored as co.ordinant branch
of government. The lesson was
lost on Mr.. Wilson, with his OBJ
session of individual greatness
and dictitorial habits, and he ex-
poets to bull the game through,
a job he will find more difficult
than anything he has yet tackled.
Mr.. Wilson should have remain
ed in Washington, in close touch
with the Senate and his cabinet,
and all working together direct
the work of the commission; but
such course was not satisfying
to his personal vanity that want
ed to appear with royalty and
dra " to himself the adulation of
the peoples or Europe.

Decisions of courts are certain
ly past all understanding by Or
binary laymen. The United States
supreme court rendered an early
opinion that states had the right
to regulate the hours of employ
ment on the theory that states
could pass laws to protect the
health and morals of their citi-
zens. And now on an appeal of
the eight-hour law for women to
the U. S. Supreme Court to test
its constitutionality on the ground
tn at it Disseminated between
mattresses in railroad restaurants
and other restaurants, the court
holds the law to be valid. In
other words, if a girl works six
teen hours in a railroad restau
rant health and morals are not
affected, but to work more than
eight hours in any other restau-
rant it is detrimental to her
health and morals and her en-
ployer is subject to prosecution.
1t is wonderful how our court de-
cisions all seem to favor the big
corporations.

During the late session of the
legislature we heard a good deal
about taking our educational in
stitutions out of politics, but it
was mostly talk. Last week the
state board of education met and
approved the work done by Prof.
|. Colodny, state director of yoca-
tional training, and then refused
to re-elect him to the position.
1t may be due to the fact that
Colodny is a democrat, but we
are more inclined to the belief
that it was the fine Italian hand
of President Kleinschmidt, who
has been ruthlessly seeking the
undoing Of Prof. Colodny for
nearly three years, because Mrs.
Colodny's work in organizing the
women of Tucson to drive out
the "red-light" district interfered
with the rent rolls of certain
influential citizens. We have too
much Kleinschmidt in our edu-
cational institutions. He has de-
stroyed the usefulness of the
university as a state institution,
and if his devastating hand is
not kept out of other branches
of our educational work Arizona
will find her schools wrecked by
one mans selfish ambitions.

MINEOLA, N Y. July 7.-The re- turn cruise of the British diriglble R-54 across the Atlantic ocean will not start until shortly after dawn on Wednes- day. The proposed plan to get the gigantic ship away at a. m. on Tues day was abandoned tonight after local weather conditions which included ad- verce, bumpy winds made it impos- s;ble for the dirigible's crew to over haul the engines during the afternoon. Without such overhauling it would be impracticable for the airShip. to take off on her venture, as quantities of carbon accumulated in the engines during the 10S hours in which the craft was aloft on the unprecedented journey which ended at Roosevelt field here on Sunday morning.

 The seven men were named by Mir Graham as Hollis Godfrey, Howard E. Coffin, Bernard M. Baruch, Samuel Gompers, Franklin H. Martin, Julius Rosenwald and Daniel Willard, mem bers of the advisory commission of the council. This commission, he added was designed by law to act in purely an advisory capacity to the council, composed of six cabinet officers. but the president, he asserted,' made them the real executives.
 After, Mir. Graham had read to the investigating committee digest de- signed to show that the military draft, food control and press censorship had been discussed by the commission sev- eral weeks before war was declared,

Townley, tes- tified in district court this afternoon that he never conferred with Townley regarding the speech which Gilbert made at Kenyon in 1917 and at Lake Field in 1918, and that Townley never conferred with him regarding addresses which Townley made during the war.
 Townley and Gilbert are on trial charged with conspiracy to foster dis loyalty by means of public speeches and literature.
 Much of Gilbert's testimony con cerned the speech he made at Lake Field, January 23, 191S He was ar rested while making this aspeech. The indictment charges that Gilbert. in this address declared: Your boys are better off on the farms than in the trenches. 5000 miles away Who will feed these boys when they are in the trenches 5000 miles away"
 Gilbert testified that he said: "Whv the boys on the farms are rendering just as valuable service toward win ming the war as the boys in the trenches"
 T also said. "who would feed the boys in the trenches if all would be at the front" Gilbert added
 Gilbert denied that he said in a speech at Kenyon, August r. 1917: We were stampeded into this war bv newspaper rot to pull England's chest f nuts out of the fire"
