What is the Purpose?
(NeW York Times

IL is clear that the majority of thea senate republicans are playing a dan gerous, but 10 some extent an intelli- gible, political game. They hope to make sure of California and all the other Pacific or far western states where the anti-Japanese bugaboo can be used to frighten children with. They want to allure various groups, , Sim Fein, pro-G rman, and what-not. To them the League of Nations is not @ matter of the restoration of conf- dence and business and the means of insurng the future peace of the world but something which they can capi- ta1ize into republican votes in 1920. It is a perilous game. 1t will be a fatal game to them if they succeed in defeating the treaty. Their dallying, their delay their false pretcnse as to motive, may make it fatal to them, even if they are driven into ratifica-& 4 tion of the treaty unspoiled and un- amended.
 If the general game is ineligible, the Shantung amendment is more puzzling. Of course there are number of republicans on the committee on. foreign affairs who want to beat th~ treaty outright. But exactly what Is Mir. Lodge, for instance, driving at in the amendment, again so vigorously riddled by Senator McCumber yester- day? MT. Lodge knows perfectly we'll that Great Britain and France will stand by Japan on the Shap- tung provision, whatever pastures or crimaCes the senate makes. One can not suppose that with all his carefully cultivated art of inCandesCent parti- sanship, he wants to see the United States humiliated, left alone, exposed. to the shame of making a separate peace with Germany. Moreover, he has read history and diplomatic his tory enough to know that the real act of ratification is done hN the president not the senate, and he remembers that his old friend, MT. Roosevelt, re fused 10 ratify a treaty doCtorcd and sophisticated by the senate. cer- tain intelligence and regard for Conse- oucnces may be attributed to MT Lodge. What, then, is the real pur' pose of the Shantung amendment? Is it anything more than a feint to scare the administration supporters into Hac- cepting reservations? Matched with sc much cacking in the committee room, do its incubators mean to have 1t de- capitated in the open senate7

DECISION ON
COLD STORAGE HOLDINGS.

GUILD SIOGtAGE HOLDINGS. M2he Supreme Court of Ohio, sitting @ Columbus, has handed down a @ision to the effect that the state $ the right to seize and sell meats other products held in cold storage ger than the specified time, which, the case at point, is six months. Ne decision was made after state
 t horities had communicated scv- @y-fiVe tons of pork owned by the &lumb bus Packing Company. Natur- #y, the company took the fight into
 @e courts and has obtained a ruling. #her seizures, under like conditions, MI be made in Ohio imm ediately, it promised. Presuma bly,, the goods @ll be sold at public auction within @very short time.
 #Unlike onnecticut-Which has not #en able to find a method of prose- #tion against it's protiteers and arders, according to the testimony # the Food Controller-Ohio is in a Nsition to act and the authorities @ve found a law that will warrant mediate prosecution of the hoard
 B. Technically, the men who are NIding back foodstuffs are not prose #ted, but actually they are fined the lice of the stuff which has been k Hzed.
 Should the government keep up it's slicy, aided by states and communl- 6s, prices are sure to come down. he effect has already been felt in a e wholesale markets, although Sere has not been a big decrease vet. he consumer will be the last to gain \ the slipping scale of prices, but he kI, eventually. The government is king action against the packers, lose who do business all over the buntry; states should help by prose- ! hting the state institutions, and |ties and individuals may work sainst the local agent who is getting To great returns. It is possible to D so, we believe, in every community
 hd district, if by no other method an cooperation of the public rnd |lercise of a boycott against mer- |nants who are known to be Hoiteers.
 It is no time now to let up in the Efort that has been made. Tn fact, is time to redouble it. The lesson as been felt. but not fully taught. Feep it up.

vator without charge, the community should run trolley lines without charge, the public being taxed for the service because the pub lie is benefited by the safe and swift transportation of the workman to his job. AS if 1t had something to do with the case, he cites the fact that the city furnishes public education and fire and police protection.
 Why stop at free trolley transpor- tation? Why not free clothing, free
 food, free boots and shoes, free
 drinks, free railroad transportation,
 free steamboat rides, free theaters,
 free movies, free everything men and
 women need in life-all to be paid for
 by a general tax on society? If, how
 ever, all these different forms of
 property are to be owned by the
 people at large-that is. society,"
 where will be the private property
 for society to tax? If a program of public ownership and operation of all sorts of business is entered upon there will be no limit--no place to draw a line.
 An owner of a building runs an elevator free because his building | otherwise probably would he tenant
 less. Public education, fire protection and policing are not synonymous to property or business. They are free and the cost is met by general taxa tion because all society is benefited The state--that is. the people-has no business to go into any field of activity where private endeavor can | do the work better, more economical ! ly and more efficiently. Surely the state has no business to give either l clothing or food or transportation to 1 the people, taxing society at large for l the expense

 that the railroad strike will furnish
 the means of settlement. The Rail-

 Dear Sir:
 In tho Herald of August 25th notice appeared relative to the Faf- nir-I7niversal baseball game of the preceding Saturday, in which it was stated that the Fafnir rOOterS mani fcSted a lack of spOrtSmanshlp in not applauding Schmidt when he re- turned to the bench after making difficult catch in which he met with a slight injury. This is manlfestly unfair. Tn the games participated in or witnessed by the writer the sports manship of the Fafnir team and it's supporters has been above reprOach. It is hoped the paragraph in question will not be accepted by the public as ref1ecting the opinion of the Cniver- sal team or those intimately inter csted in 4. than whom none could more seriously regret any breach in the very friendly feelings always en- tcrtained in the Universal club for the Fafnir organization.
 Yours very truly.

Dear Editor:
 Whereas recent issues of the daily press of the state have given wide pub licity to a grave error will you kind ly insert in your next issue this of tcial contradiction. II has been re- ported that typhoid fever was pre- valent at the Advent camp grounds near PlainVille, Conn.,, and that in consequence the meetings were closed. Let us state officially this is not true. The best of health and sanitary con- ditions prevail here.
 The reported cases of typhoid fever referred to have occurred in con- nection with the Methodist camp ground near ForestVille. Our meet ings are in full progress, continuing until Labor Day. Will you kindly give publicity to this correction as the false report naturally injures the interests of our services.

Who Wants to Buy a City?

A bargain of unique kind is of fered by the government in the pros pective sale of the War-emergency town of Nitro, w. Va. Here is a "complcte industrial community em- bra cing 737 manufacturing buildings, with horsing accomm odatiCns for 2O,- 900 persons and all the COnVeniences of d modern city as large as Danbufy or GloNersville, only waiting to be snapped up by some enterprlSlng buy CT In addition to it's manufacturing facilities there are rCfrigerating and ice plants, 1,5C0 furnished houses, 15 nermanentlv constructed executive residences ard hotels, bc arding -hous- es. 1ormitOries, club houses stores, ca feteria, moving picture houses, hos pital, schoolhouse. bank, police sta tion-in fire, a fully equipped munich pality.
 What an opportunity for an cxperi- mcnt in Utopian ideals! Nitro con- tains possibilities undreamed of at Brook Farm; it is a machine ma de model city peculiarly adapted for the application of Communistc theories. Must it serve the uses of merely in dustrial development, or will some millionaire philanthropist rise to the occasion and utilize it for social up lift? If no wealthy idealist embraces the opportunity, organized labor might trv it's hand at running an industrial community free from all capitalisic restrictions.

Waterbury Republican Wonders
lWaterhurv Renuhlican)

(WaterDury RepubllCan)
 It is a weird tale of the sea that comes from Walnut beach. local fisherman, out on a rOWboat, was peacefully watching his line and dreaming of mermaids when a huge fish, a shark, he says, began to bite at his trailing oar. In pardona ble fright the fisherman seized both oars and headed for shore, not stopping to reel in his line. But the fish pur- sued him, biting savagely at the oars as they were dipped into the water Finally the worried man stood up to strike at the ravenous creature with an oar and while trying to do this fell overboard. Fortunately he came up near the boat and with unsuspected agility pulled himself aboard again, not, however, before the man. eater had snatched at his foot and torn away part of his shoe. Picking up his oars the fisherman started for home again quite willing to give up the at tempt at reprisals. Luckily the baf- fled fish, with his teeth full of Spl1n- ters, gave up the chase. It is not un- common for sharks to follow boats, of course, but Is there any record of their attacking them in this indecorouS way? And if a good sized shark takes hold of the blade of an oar can the rOwer continue 10 operate 1t success fullyc

THE .\CTORS' TROUBLES.

George M. Cohan. true to his repu- tation, has been furnishing most of the "thrills' in the fight for stage unionzaton now on in New York and has trimmed the episodes with seN cral expressions typically Cohanesque as he did yesterday in rendering a check for S100,O0 to the Actors Fi- delty League which is opposed to the Equity League, or Actors Union. When the Fidelity attempted to re- fuse his offer of money he urged it's acceptance but it was finally turned over to the Actors Fund for charit- able purposes among disabled thes- plans. If you need another s1O0,- 900 you can have it now, and another, and another and another-that's the kind of a little guy I am, and I want you all 10 be with me- were his words, which needless to say, were received with cheers.
 It was announced at the meeting that members of the Fidelity would be offered contract which was far better from the actors standpoint than that for which the Equity has been striking, and which it has failed to obtain. Thus the managers are meeting the unionization of the stage. Meanwhile the Equity proceeds with
 its plans for producing musical com edies and drama in several theaters.
  members have been held. Injunctions against the strikers will prohibit their interfering with productions in any house of the opposition. There the matter stands.
 Whether the strikers are success | full or not in winning their demands | they have succeeded in obtaining 1 better conditions for the profession benefited from the strike of it's fellows ] in the Equity and has gained every l thing that the Equity asks excepting 1 recognition as an organized labor l body, which is not desired by the I'i- l delity. The rock upon which the ship of the stage has split into two well defined pieces is the great issue | of recognition. There are numerous members of both Leagues and it will l be a matter of interest to follow the fight. We strongly suspect that the i organized body will have to bow to the strength of the Fidelity before it | he ] long and bitter one.
 There are many famous actors in
 the Equity and not as many in the l Fidelity. Most of the stars of the stage owe their fame to publicity, coupled with a certain amount of technic and the good fortune to have 1 obtained a manager who recognized
 their assets and led them alright. The | Equity has the individuals whom past publicity has brought more before the l public eye than the members of the ! val League. The stars will be sure
 to draw large crowds upon their
 regulations. It will be up to the
 managers and producers to bring be-
 fore the public new set of stars
 from the ranks of the Fidelity League.
 which we are sure it will be possible
 to do.
 So a new set of stage stars is
 promised to us as a result of the
 arguments in New York. As soon as
 both organizations get well under way
 with their productions publicity
 fight such as we seldom see will be
 instituted. AS managers money, more
 often than not, makes a star we are placing our bets on the Fidelity
 League and a new set of footlight fa-
 vorites.
