French make the stipulation that there should
be sequence of payment, that Is, that Germany
and Austria should pay first the bill demanded
in the American scheme for destruction IN vlo-
iation of international law, and pay the other
bills-the bills England would demand-later,
as the state of her finances would allow.
1t is claimed that there is no great difference
between the French and the American views
when we take into consideration the fact that
Germany may be unable to do more than pay
the bills she viii owe on the first count-that
is the American plan.
Under the American proposal England
would be able to collect reparation from Ger
1nany only to the amounts of damage caused by
her airplane and Zeppelin raids IN English ter
ritory. the destruction of merchant shipping
and and the like The bills of the United States
and British colonies would be for losses infhct-
ed on them through the submarine warfare on
merchant shipping The chief creditors under
the American scheme would be Belgium
Serbia and Rulnania, the countries which suf-
fered the bulk of criminal damage.

WHAT CHILDREN DREAM OF.

Des Moines Register: Study of
children's dreams with the immedi-
ate object of broad classification and
The later purpose Of providing a
dream standard with which the
dreams Of individual children can
be compared, has been started
among London school children.
In the first investigation 5000
dreams of children from 5 years old
Upward were obtained. Among the
facts brought out are the following:
Children of 5, and years
dream largely Of Christmas and San
ia Claus. Among the very young
children the fear dream remains
prominent, this dream in London
frequently taking the form of dread
OF objectionable men, largely OF
German nationality The fear
cream involving animals is more
common among boys than girls. The
ghost dream. once a favorite oppres-
zion Of children's nights, has almost
disappeared, and apparently its
place has been taken to consider
rt lie extent by pleasantn dreams of
fairies. such recent terrors as air
raids stimulated few dreams. The
age of Z years was found to be that
in which most children. boys and
rJrls, experienced the burglar dream.
The dreams Of boys OF years react
ed to motion pictures. while boys of
lesser age and girls Of Z years We're

almost immune. Children of the
poorer districts dreamed of toys.
One young Brlton was an excep-
ton to the rule that adventure and
bravery dreams are rare He
dreamed he was an American sol
der, that ne had an army under him,
end that he went into Germany and
captured the kaiser and crown prince.
Exactly what service careful CLASH
fcation and persistent study OF
dreams will give the world remains
to be seen. An age that places as
much emphasis on psychology as this
will hardly deny that some benefit
will accrue The relation between
dreams and mental and physical
stimuli will bear much study Par
ticularly with regard to children of
neurotic inclinationn, it is likely that
the study will pay. There are clues
concealed in dreams which mind doc
tosr may make much of. Besides,
the whole scheme of studying chill
Cren's dreams will be abundantly vim
dicated if it does no more than focus
attention on one of the things
brought out in the London report
.to-wit that children of the poorer
districts dream of toys.

NOVEL QUESTIONS.

1t is suggested that the state of Rhode Island
NAV take to the supreme court OF the United
states the act Of congress which submitted the
prohibition amendment This raises rather cur
ious question. At first sight it might appear
that any provision which got into the constitu-
ton in the regulation way would become as
much part Of it as any original clause. But
is this the only view 10 take of 1t? Suppose a
new clause to be Numerically antagonistic TO
fundamental principle in the original instru-
nent. Both Of them could not stand, and would
the last repeal the first or would the first in
validate the Iast2 That is to say, might not an
addition to the constitution be unconstitutlon-
al as inconsistent with the document a
whole?
The question as presented by the contemplate
ed action of Rhode Island would be a little diff
ferent, being an inquiry if congress was constl-
tuti0nal in its submission Of the amendment.
Z court could certainly pass on this and
would have to if it came properly before it.
Would congress, for example, have any right to
propose an amendment validating slavery,
abolshing trial by jury, abridging freedom of
religion or putting limitations on any hitherto
guaranteed right Of citizens? In fine, can con-
gress take the first unconstitutional step to-
wards destroying the existing constitution,
and is there nothing in that instrument which
protects it against boshevist assaults? In
other words, does the constitution render any
right of any person secure against attack by
the legislatures Of three-fourths of the states ?
Perhaps these and other interesting questions
will be adjudicated within the next few years.

LET THE SUN INTO YOUR SOUL.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: One time a
man was tramping the forests of
North Carolina in search Of game.
When none came and he wished TO
return TO camp he discovered that
he was lost. Then he recalled read
ing one time, Light Is Life, moss
always grows on the north side Of
the tree trunk--farthest removed
from the rays OF the sun He set
about looking for moss and sure
enough IT was on the same side of
each tree. With this as guide, it
didn't take him long to find his way
back to the place from whence he
came.
But the point we wish to make is
that the moss would not have been
on the north side OF the tree If 1t
hadn't been impossible for the suns
rays to reach il. Moss thrives on
death And death is always found

more sunlight there is in your life,

A VICIOUS MEASURE.

Muscatine Journal: The public
utilities bill as introduced in the
senate of the Iowa legislature is
vicious piece of legislation which
should invite the united resistance OF
every community in the state 1t is
reactionary legislation under the
guise of reform
The bill provides in the main that
the state board of railroad commits
sioners shall be increased to five
members, each member to be. paid
$4,000 per year. This commission
would have authority over rates.
services and similar questions, but
such subjects would first have to be
referred to the city council. Before
any changes in rates or service were
made, notice would be filed with the
city council. The board would pass
on these matters following public
hearing.
The bill as presented takes away
the election of the commissioners by
the people and authorizes that the
governor appoint one member every
four years, beginning July i, 1920,
and that the hous and senate each
appoint a member at each session OF
the legislature for four terms.
Not only would the bill rob the
cities of Iowa of the privilege OF
making rates and fixing conditions OF
public service, but 1t would deprive
the people of voice in the selection
OF men who would decide these mat
tiers.
Were the commissioners subject
directly to the will of the people
some security would be extended that
community interests would be safe
guarded, but this measure denies
every vestige of protection.
The manner in which the bill is
being pushed hints of sinister iniu
ences. The legislative effort should
arouse every community to the i'm
perative need of protesting against
1 the enactment Of such an untoward
measure It's passage would be q
death blow to home rule In Iowa and
must be stout1y resisted, for the

HOW SHALL GERMANY PAY?

Three theories have developed at theNpeace
conference concerning what the principle of war
reparation should be and they are respectively
American, British, and French
The American theory is that PREPARATION to
be demanded from Germany should cover only
such damage as was done by her in deliberate
and criminal destruction in violation Of the
laws of war and of nations. Under this head
inc would come such barbara acts as the ruth,
less destruction of cathedrals unnecessary pill
lace Of farms and houses, etc, etc
The British view is that, since in civil law
al. damage must be paid by the aggressor, Ger.
many should be compelled to pay, not only
such costs as America would exact but also al
the expenses involved in raising, equipping
transporting and maintaining their armies.
lhe French view is that reparation shoulc

ToeAcco AND PROFANITY.

Chicago Herald Examiner: A GER
tain gentleman named Alexander,
full of discomfort, was reputed to
have sighed because there were no
more worlds to conquer. This atti-
tude of mind has apparently afflicted
Billy Sunday, who, now that John
Barleycorn has taken the count, is
seeking new fields for his unques-
toned ability as an evangelist.
But Mr.. Sunday must reckon with
the returned soldier, who says that
the greatest periods of comfort that
came to him in the trenches came
with the cigarets. mo one will ever

Tobacco has played its part in the
worlds war, and most important
one. 1t will continue to play it's part
in the reconstruction period. The
men who do the really big things in
business are tobacco smokers. The
men who have written our best Ltera-
ture have been devotees of the weed
and-whisper it-some of our best
sermons have been written by users
of tobacco.
If Billy Sunday does sigh for other
fields to conquer, let us direct him
TO the arena of profanity, wherein
lies the greatest menace in our nat
ional life.
We seldom hear Of those opposing
tobacco without thinking of man
who stood on a crner waiting for a
car. A busy person happening along
noticed him smoking and remarked:
Young man, how many cigars do

left for names) shall members of the e1ecu-
tive council.
That means that before the body Of delegates
has organized and exercised It's power OF MAX
ing permanent selection of the four other ma
ttions to be represented on the executive council
the vacancies shall be filled temporarily. 1t IS
practically certain that those appointments
will be made by the nations already composing
the council, and it may be safely assumed that
once nation has secured representation in the
council it viii remain there indefinitely, as the
body of delegates viii be very loath to attempt
to unseat a power that already has been so
recognized.
The question very naturally arises why these
other nations were fixed at four, and why, IT
they are to be named by America, England,
France, Italy and Japan, they were not deslg-
mated in the original draft of the constitution
1t may be taken for granted that the four ma
lions already have been selected by the big
five 1t is too much to ask the public to be-
live that the peace conference has been IN SEES
sion for three months without definitely setting
such vital point There can be little doubt
that Mr.. Wilson, if he had chosen to do SO,
could have told US on his recent visit just who
the other members of the executive council
would be. Why, then, are we kept longer In
the dark, and why does that alElnlportant
blank appear in the constitution
There is some reason, sufficient to the mind
of Mr. Wilson, that has sealed the president S
lips That consideration can only be that the
publication of the names would add to the dis
favor of the league in the eyes OF the American
public Surely, if the chances Of the league
would have been enhanced by printing the
names they would have appeared in large type
in the original edition of the constitution. In
stead the president has offered us what boys
might term blind trade" We are asked to
submit our destinies to four foreign nations
whose names are given, and to four others
whose names are held in reserve to be sprung
upon us after our assent to the league has been
secured.
OF course if the league ever becomes part
of the peace treaty, and is formally presented
to the senate for ratification the blank will be
filled, but the real contest In this country over
the league Of nations is right now. The senate,
of course. will discuss the details and any
changes that may be made in the original draft,
but the American public is entitled now to the
fullest information in order that they may
guage accurately the dangers that are i1npend-
ing. To ask them to give assent to document,
one of the most vital parts OF which Is left a
blank, is preposterous and such of it as they
have been permitted TO read should be return
ed to its author for completion before it Is even
considered seriously.
