Exit Sidney Drew.

Sidney Drew is dead. That brief an
nouncement will bring sorrow to null
titude of people, who have for some
years greatly enjoyed picture plays en-
acted by Mr.. Drew and his wife on
thousands of screens in this country.
Sidney Drew portrayed type that
everybody understood. the man who
continually got into difficulties and
slipped out of them, sometimes almost
tragically. but always humorously.
Clever scenario writer's contributed
much to this success, but it was the
inimitable portrayal of Henry Minor"
that made Drew q favorite with prac-
tically all movie fans" Coming from
a famous family of actors, Sidney Drew
did not possess the histrionic talents Of
some of his relatives But he fitted
into the screen drama with peculiar
appropriateness and became an institu-
ton. It was perhaps because of the
human quality of his impersonations
that Sidney Drew held the affections
Of the public. In the course of his
few years Of screen work he kept the
world smiling and contributed to its
happiness.

Defiance of the Law.

Attorney General Palmer in his
statement On the Debs case draws a
distinction between the petitioner for
pardon and the convicted offender
against the laws who rails at the courts
and denounces the processes of jus
tice. He notes that Debs, upon the
final affirmation of his conviction by
the Supreme Court, indulged in violent
public criticism of the courts and prac
tically defied the power of the govern
ment to administer the law against
him
Thus far Debs has not asked for
clemency, although some of his friends
have presented his case for considera-
tion. Pardon must be based upon SUBJ
mission to the law, not defiance. To
grant pardon to one in Debs' case, with
a record of abuse Of the courts and
threats of public violence in protest
against his conviction and punishment,
would be to yield to the menace of dis
order. There could be no security for
life or property in this country upon
such basis.
That Debs violated the federal law
cannot be doubted in view Of the YER
dict rendered and the affirmations of
that verdict given by successive appel

late courts. There is NO question Of
fact in this case, as there may be in
the case Of a man convicted Of crime
upon circumstantial evidence. In the
judgment Of at least three courts Debs
was guilty of disloyal speech and con-
duct To threaten strike on the day
he goes to prison is to defy the gov
eminent. Those who subscribe to such
a threat are themselves guilty of con-
tempt of the judicial processes.
1t is impossible for any citizen to
denouncc or defy the courts without
weakening the safeguards that guar
antec him protection. Every citizen
owes his security to the law. How
ever humble his condition i'll life,
whatever his occupation or the meas
ure of his means, the courts stand Ior

gression and injury. Thosc "ho are

today. The war has destroyed so much,
aud unsettled so much more, the con-
trollers Of capital are naturally ex-
tremely cautious in placing it any
where.
Conditions in Mexico are likewise
different today. Since the overthrow
of the man who in a large sense put
Mexico on the map, the country has
known little but turmoil and waste.
In many branches business has been
dislocated and halted. Banditry has
fourished to the extent that the names
of some of the bandits are more IA
miliar to the outside world than those
of some Of the constituted officials.
And yet Mexico has never needed
outside assistance-the attention of
men with means to invest, and survey
ing promising fields for investments
more urgently than at present. Her
valuable resources are still largely
undeveloped; and upon their develop
ment depends the future of the
country.
A leaf out the old Diaz book. there
fore, would be we'll taken now. A re-
turn to the policy of inviting and pro-
tecting foreign capital. and welcoming

Mexico.
news story:

This is from a news story:
Private and official advices from
Mexico City within the last few days
were interpreted as clearly indicating
a sudden change in sentiment in the
republic toward foreign investments
in Mexico, and that the coming ses-
sion of congress will clear the atmos-
phere of much of the hostility shown
since the adoption of the 1917 con-
stitution. Diplomatic circles and Off
cials of the State Department are much
interested in this apparent change of
'front.' as manifested in newspaper edi-
torials and in statements by members
of the Mexican congress which have
been telegraphed here"
During the palmy days of the Diaz
regime-and they look very palmy by
comparison with the days that have
followed-Me1ico was made hospitable
for foreign investments and investors.
The strong man who then presided
over the destinies of the country in
vited such assistance, and showed every
appreciation of it when received. In
deed, foreign capital, directed IN many
cases by its owners, who had followed
it and taken up residence in Mexico,
accounted for much of the prosperity
of the country and the stability of the
government. President Diaz protected
such capital, and in return it rendered
whatever assistance to him was in its
power.
At that time capital was abundant
and there were many inviting fields
Mexico was only one, and an incon-
spicuous one, of the number. She was
lucky in receiving any responses. But
she did receive many, and profted
greatly.

No Appreciable Shrinkage.

A surprising showing of virtually
sustained Official population in this
city, despite the suspension of hostili-
ties and the readjustment of govern
ment work here, has just been made
in the reports of net changes. which
show that up to the 1st of April there
has been a reduction in all of only
5,179 persons in the employ of the
United States in Washington.
There was a sudden and heavy cur
tailment of clerical forces soon after
the signing of the armistice, when
many of the activities of the govern
ment were suspended or checked. Some
thought that the city would quickly
lose practically all Of its emergency
population. Others, better informed as
to the prospective needs of the public
service. predicted that there would be
no material change for MANY months.
That the latter were correct is proved
by the latest figures.
Washington will doubtless never re-
turn to pre-war conditions and size.
There are certain federal Offices which
must necessarily be maintained on q
larger basis than ever, notably the in
ternal revenue bureau and other
branches of the Treasury. The War
and Navy departments, too, must hold
a large percentage Of the additional
force for a long time. The shipping
board, new in the scheme of govern
ment administration, is likely to in
crease rather than diminish in size
and importance.
Provision must be made for larger
population. The city cannot continue
to subsist as at present, upon con-
gestion basis, with many thousands of
the people inadequately housed. The
government cannot be expected indef-
nitely to continue in the "rooms and
board" business, certainly on the small
scale of its present enterprise in that
direction. There is need at this time
of hundreds of new houses, with steady
additions as capital is available.
Just as soon as possible there should
be some definition of the future or
panization of the departments. The
nrosert uncertainties should not be
permitted to continue. The city can
not afford to develop its housing re-
sources to meet an emergency only to
find eventually that through large per-
manent reductions in the federal-ofice
staff here these new constructions are
suner7nous

The American Legion.

A meeting will be held in st. Louis
organizing the American Legion, to be
composed of those who wore Uncle
Sans uniform in the world war. The
call is signed by Lieut.. Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, jr., chairman, and Lieut..
Col. Bennett Clark, son of Champ
Clark, vice chairman.
This is taken from news story:
"'The legion will not interest itself
In politics, but will make its influence
felt in regard to policies Lieut.. Col.
Roosevelt declared in discussing the
embryo organization. 1t will be strict
ly non-partisan, he added, its objects
being to perpetuate comradeships form
cd during the war, to preserve the his
tory of the conflict and to maintain
the principles for which American SOL
diers and sailors trained, fought and
died"
Upon these lines the Grand Army
of the Republic was organized and its
affairs have been most successfully
conducted. 1t has been an instrument
for good. It has contributed to the
spreading and the Strengthening of
truly national spirit. It's influence on
public affairs generally has been ele-
waiting
In many campaigns, state, eohyres-
siopal and presidential, much has Lcen
said about "the soldiers votc," and not
infreeuently politicians have tried to
Swing it" as such to this side or to
that. But success has never been
achieved. On all such occasions the
non political character of the organi-
zation has been demonstrated. The
veterans, as other citizens, stood. and
stand, divided on issues purely po-
itical.
A conspicuous case in point was the
presidential contest of 1884, when Mr..
Blaine was the republican, Mr.. Cleve-
land the democratic, candidate. The
latter, although young and vigorous at
the time, had sent substitute in the
war for the Union, and his political op-
ponents sought now to make campaign
capital out of the fact. But it was a
misconceived. and proved an ineffec-
tive, appeal 1t so turned out that Mr..
Blaine had not fought in that war, and
Mr.. Cleve1and's friends used the fact
in their reply. The appeal cost Mr..
Cleveland no votes. The contest was
decided on other grounds.
The American Legion is to be well
coined as an agency for the promotion
Of the best in our national life. It
will represent, with other things,
@the majesty Of numbers" A great
many men will be eligible to men,
bership; and they will be young, and
full of hope and purpose. And when
they act together in matters within the
purview Of their organization they will
represent force to be reckoned with
in the formulating of public policies.
