Time Softens Many a Crime

The attorney general of France has recommended that
Joseph Calaux, erstwhile premier of the republic be
brought to trial This is surprising, if not disturbing. We
have not heard much of Callaux for a year or more.
Wasn't enough accomplished when Duval and Bolo Pasha
lined up against wall and shot? Surely when the
tools of traitor punished the ends of justice would
to be served The usual procedure forget if not
forgive the chief.
Caiaux apparently did not do anything except endeavor
to bring defeat to France He probably thought anything
inflicted his country after the treatment it had
corded him justified. If a man who has a grievance
is not to have his what is the world coming in
the end?

PRESIDENT is VERY
BUSY MAN NOWADAYS

Washington, November 2S.-(Special0@
The President hopes to disappoint Senator
Moses and others who declared him to
be mentally and physically defective by
appearing in person before Congress next
week and reading his message to the
members.
This is the Presidents hope, it is
learned, from sources very close to the
President. 1t is a hope, however, of
which he says nothing for the public.
Because it is not certain, as yet that
DR. Grayson, his physician, will permit
him to run the risk of relapse.
At the present time the President, in
q comparative sense, is, a busy man. He
is preparing two mess ages, one for Con-
aress and the other for the new indus
trial conference which will be convened
December /. In addition he is apprising
himself of every phase of the Mexican
situation, and is watching every angle
of the game of italy to seize Fiume and
Dalrnatia Furthermore, he is prepar-
ing new means of advancing the treaty
of peace with the Senate. And finally,
he is thinking Of the availability of sew
eraI men to fill cabinet positions-the Of
fees Of Secretary of Commerce and OF
the Treasury.
It is understood in his message to Con-
gress he will deal vigorously with the
necessity of preparing legislation to

COMPROMISES IN SIGHT
ON TREATY OF PEACE

Washington. November 2S.-(Speeial)--
There is every indication that both the
President and Senator Lodge are pre-
pairing to make compromises respecting
the League of Nations. ,
1t is understood in Washington that
the bulk of republican senators does not
indorse Lodges programme of rule or
ruin The bulk wants some kind OF
a treaty. and indicates that the peolNe
want some kind of a treaty. 1t is even
said that Lodges leadership will be as
sailed if he tries to force his side of the
Senate to stand with him in his deter
mination to reject the treaty bodily.
And at the same time. the President,
according to gossip emanating from
the White House. is no longer deter
mined to put the treaty through with
out some reservations of important
character To that end. he has sum-
moned Senator Hitchcock to return to
Washington from Nebraska and confer
with his Saturday.
At this conference it is believed that
the President will tell Senator Hitch
cock that he will stand for any reason
able reservation. but against any which
vitality effects sections of the treaty or
renders its effectiveness void.

preparing effective railroad legislation
in that the common carriers might be

will repeat his insistence that the peace
treaty and the League of Nations be
quickly ratified.
In his message to the industrial confer
ence he will insist on the drawing up of
a programmeaof permanent nature which
both labor and capital can indorse. He is
still hopeful that the lion and the lamb.
in this particular, can be made to lie
down together, this despite the complete
failure of the original conference.
Concerning the appointments to the
cabinet, the President is almost certain
to name Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury LeffingweH to be secretary. 1t
was thought that he would name Assist
ant Secretary of Commerce Sweet to
be Secretary of Commerce, but later adj
vices seem to favor Bernard Barusch
for the position.
At any rate the President may be
termed a busy man. Even if he does
not find himself able to appear in person
before Congress next week he is GER
tainly proving himself to be on the
road to permanent recovery.

Washington, November 2S,-(SpeciaL)-
The rather abrupt way in which w. 6.
McAdoo projected himself into the eff
forts of the administration to make peace
and wage scale between the operators
of coal mines and the miners of coal has
led observers in Washington to believe
that the former Secretary of the Treas

will openly and aggressively espouse the
cause of organized labor.
Mr.. McAdoo, as is recalled, suggested
that the miners be granted without hesi-
tation wage increase of 81, 65 per cent,
and that the operators be denied the
right. which they professed to have, to
put the burden of that extra cost on the
shoulders of the consumers. Mr.. McAdoo
thus appealed both to organizer labor
and the unorganized mass OF consumers

that Mr. McAdoo busted himself in the
PSYCHOLOGICAL moment to curry favor with
organized labor
Mr.. McAdoo while always associated
in business with capital and so-called
plutocrats, has, since the time ne ac-
esepted position in the Wilson cabinet,
catered to organized labor. 1t is a mat
ter of record that until quite recently,
when President Wilson protested against
policemen joining the American Fedora
ton of Labor, and took up arms against
the coal strike, organized labor has se-
cured its every demand at the hands of
the administration. Especially is this
true in the case of the railway brother
hoods. 1t is believed that President
Wilson was moved in that case through
the advice of Mr. McAdoo. who in that
crisis was federal administrator of rail-
roads
1t is of course unknown whether Mr.
McAdoo, In projecting himself into the
coal wage question, was moved by any
other than an utiiitarian motive. At the
same time. unquestionably he added to
his popularity with organized labor, And
