Hope for Democracy.
(NeW Y ork Herald)

Out of the gathering storm clouds and threatening social upheavals come the cheering returns from the elections in France and Italy. There is hope for real democracy. The forces of disruption and disaster have been making the most noise, as al ways they do, while a strong under current of common sense and reason -quiet and undem onstratiVe-ha bided it's time and waited for the op- portunity to manifest it's power at the polls lawfully and forcibly.
 The result is most gratifying. 1t confirms the belief maintained against discouraging and disheartening evi- dence, yet firmly held, that the forces of law, order constructive effort and progressive activity in the last analy- sis would prevail. The world is not lost, civilization is not scrapped, de- mocracy is not a failure. The people of France and Italy have differenti- ated between democracy of ruinous individualism hiding behind radical socialism and a democracy of reason and right founded on faith in human- ity. toleration and surrender of per- sonal selfshness for the welfare of all. They have discovered it is better to mend a leak in the roof than to burn the house.

Martens Should Go.
(AnSonia Sentinel)

We know of no man in the United States who is more entitled to swift deportation than is the accredited agent of the Soviet government of Russia who has been plotting here for many months to overthrow the de- mocracy of the United States. To be sure, he has undertaken a hopeless task, but his guilt is no less black because he cannot succeed in his de- sign. He has no status here except that of an enemy alien, a Germano Russian, who is plotting now against the welfare of the republic. His own admissions before the Eusk committee are enough to damn him in the eye of all Americans. He was sent here for a purpose. That purpose, as he admits, was to issue propaganda ill behalf of the Red travesty on govern ment in Russia. He has been busy in this work for a long time and much of the unrest in the United States may be traced to his lavish use of funds for the propaganda of discontent and revolutionary violence.
 His appeal to the, State departme ent should be thrown into the waste basket where it belongs, and he sh any other alien who has been ope-- at.ns here to foment revolution De- portation is the least punishment that can be. inflicted upon him. If he got his desserts he would be arrested, ar rafgned and sentenced upon the evi- dence of his own admissions as q criminal anarchist who has been try ing to, overthrow the government of the United States. It would be well. too, for the Department of Justice to speed up it's work of securing the trial of other radicals who follow his line of thought and give him plenty of company on his journey oversea Emma Goldman should go with him and Alexander Berkman and others of the same crimson fraternity Of murder. They are all unfit to be har- bored in the United States They menace it's peace; they undermine it's prosperity and they threaten the se- curity of it's homes. If they are not deported they should be sent to prison under the ample law we have for the punishment of treason

lncOmprehensiblc Billions.
(NeW York Sul,l

CNeW Ork Sun)
 The Carnegie Endowment for h. ternal Peace, publishing it's estimate that the war cost 337 billion dollars, adds that the figure is both incom- prehensible and appalling As it would be more appalling if it were comprehensible, it is good thing that every mind cannot grasp it.
 The human loss is easier to under stand. It is as if four geographical divisions each the size of the State of New York, had lost every man be- tween the ages of Is and A. This removal of 10,0O0,00O men is the only war loss worth deep grief
 Practically all material things which the war took can be replaced. The case of a farmer whose house burns down is relatively more desper- ate than the worlds loss. Yet the farmer, still having his indestructible land and the crops and credit it repre- sents, does not despair. He goes to work and in time he has better house than the first.
 As with the farmer so with the world. A world which does not settle down to work will not recover. Noth- ing will repair the wars economic waste except individual effort. This is now being put forth in the sober countries of Europe. Here in 4Americ;t. where there is too much money and not enough goods, the workman loiters. When he comes to his senses it may be too late to keep us on even terms with Europe.
