THE FRUITS OF SECRECY

The irritation displayed by Premie,
Lloyd George when questioned about
disagreements among the peace con
ferees is easy to understand, if. as he
says. there is no divergence among
the negotiators." But when he COM
plains that all ears are at the keyhole
and that the air is filled with rumors
OF disagreement he complains of the
inevitable consequence arising from
the policy Of secrecy pursued at Paris.
Cannot the people wait until we
have finished our work instead of al
ways wanting to Judge our inten-
tions?'' he asks.
No, they cannot, and any person ac-
quainted with human nature might
have known that they could not.
Probably six months will elapse be-
tween the signing of the armistice
and the conclusion of peace Does
MIR. Lloyd George imagine that. after
being keyed up to the highest pitch
OF nervous tension and exertion by
four and half years of war, the peo-
pie would suddenly return quietly to
their peaceful vocations and leave the
arrangement of peace implicitly to
the assembly at Paris, displaying no
interest in its proceedings and wait
ing patiently for the diplomats to an
nounce the treaty? Does he imagine
that things would stop happening in
three great empires which were in a
state of revolution or in other suffer
ing. war-ravaged countries? Does he
imagine that during those six months
the enemy would do nothing to break
the unity of the allies, to weaken
them, and thereby to obtain mitiga-
tion of the terms?
The troubles of which the British
premier complains are the conse- /,
quence of the action of the confer (
ence In abandoning the first of Presi-
dent Wilson's fourteen points at the
very beginning of it's sessions. In /
place of 'open covenants openly ar
rived at" we have open covenants Sc
cretiy arrived at. Most meager COM
muniques have been given as to the
proceedings of the conference, telling
practically nothing of it's conclusions.
Information as to the daily proceed
ings has leaked, giving a doubtless
col0red, distorted and fragmentary
view OF what was done. Being denied
full and accurate information, the
public has grasped at any news it
could get. has discussed it and drawn
from it. Certainly the
allies have not profted, and the Ger
mans have.
The peace conference should have
learned from the events of the war

the folly OF secrecy when practiceC
without well-thought-out discrimina
tion. The first great effort OF the in
tervention of the United States was
moral, both on the allies and on Ger,
many. Promptly veil of secrecy was
drawn over all the tremendous prep.
arations of this country. German
morale could have been broken much
earlier by knowledge OF what the
: American people were doing, but the
newspapers were forbidden to pub
lish anything about the launching of
ships the sailing of transports or the
movement of troops. When the
boches met the first Ianks in battle
they believed they were fighting Brit
ish troops disguised in American uni
forms Not until they met Americans
of the war did they realize the truth
Not till then did the fact of American
participation in the war begin to
break down their morale. When their
choicest troops met none but Amer
leans in the Argonne. and were daily
driven back their morale went to
pieces and they fled. The final sur
render was the effect of knowledge
that they had to contend with fast
growing army of Americans, in con-
junction with knowledge that their
allies had deserted them, and that
they were beaten in battle.
Secrecy delayed that moral effect
for at least year after it might have
begun to be felt. 1t assisted the
propaganda of the German govern
ment, which denied that Americans
could cross the ocean. that they could
be trained in time to fight, that they
could or would fight. While the kai-
ser's government was stiffening up
the German soldiers morale with
such yarns the American govern
ment's policy of secrecy was helping
it by suppressing photographs Of the !
of great ships and OF the |
sailing of transports carrying thou |
sands of troops and of the scenes at |,
American debarkation ports in |
France.
The same policy is raising the |
morale of the Germans and lowering
hat of the allied nations during the
peace negotiations. 1t revives the old |
nsolent. menacing talk of the Prus-
sian militarists and encourages them
o threaten a world flood of bolshev-
SIN if the allies are too hard on them.
They, the most dastardly criminal ma
ion on earth, actually demand admis-
lion to the League of Nations as
EQUALS from its inception. At the
anne time the morale Of the allies is
owered by long secret sessions OF the
'eace conference, by conflicting re-
orts, by resitation to deal firmly with
by delay in seizure Of
ierman ships, in occupation of Dan
ig and in sending the Polish troops
ome After such a complete victory
S the allies have won, there should
ave been no anxiety in their minds
S to the terms of peace; all the anxi-
ty should have been in the minds of
he Germans. But we hear daily of
ears, doubts and dissension among
ne allies. which spring from the
lystery in which the peace confer
nee is wrapped. Secrecy is the

to occupy position between an advocacy of govern ment ownership and the majority opinion against it. He offers nothing a substitute for the Cummins bill only advising extension of government con- trol for five years It is now pretty generally be- eved that government control has already been two years one month and twelve days too long
 The government in that time has manip- ulated the roads that they lost nearly billion dollars the first year but has so far improved the management that the deficit has been reduced to an average of about s27O 100000 annually. All this has been in spite of greatly increased freight and passenger charges and greatly deterorated service
 The roads are now about to be turned back to the owners in this shape. It apparent that the rail- roads need some help
 They will need some immediate money and some government backing. That is, provided for in the Cummins bill, to be furnished until the roads again be made self sustaining. It proposed to bring that about by further increase of height which will eliminate the constantly recurring de- fict This government guaranty is necessary to at tract purchasers of the securities of the roads for without constant inflow of capital the roads can not be improved and extended.
 The government guaranteed to the roads their return in good physical shape they were when it took them over. It may do that; the tracks may be in good shape; so may the equipment But certainly the guaranty of the government should be understood to include the credit well the phys- cal condition of the roads-ther ability to earn div- dends and surpuses to be going concerns. That is the government put the roads in far better shape than they are now and that is what the Cum mins bill proposes
 Moreover, the bill relates in a way to an experi- ment to abandon exploded experiment It i'm poses no fixed policy but that may be changed when the need of change appears. The 'help" to the railroads may be discontinued when it is no long, CT needed.
 Senator La Toilette especially objects to the anti-strike feature of the bill. So do many other senators on perhaps different grounds Without dis cussing either the merits the results of such pro- vision if included may call attention to the fact that demand for still higher wages which would probably add another billion dollars to the expense of operating the roads has been made upon the goy- ernment with the understanding that it will be re- peated upon the private owners. We think no one will contend that when the roads are handed back with such demand impending and with certainty that strike would be alternative to granting the demand the roads will be returned as good shane as they were when the government took them over

COME IN QUICK!

The Empty Stocking club is grow ing but not quite as rapidly as might be wished. Every mail brings new members and a good many, mostly ladies call. Some of them are so anxious to help at once that the names of unfortunate children are turned over to them at once. Some of the letters bring money but the general plan contemplate the spending by the members of their own money.
 Though that stage of the operation of the club has not been reached yet, it is the plan that every member be assigned as many children as he or she desires to take care of, the ages and addresses of the children. An executive committee will be named shortly to have general charge of this work and then the names of all the members of the club will be printed.
 The lists, both of the members of the club and the empty stockingers" are now being made up. It is hoped that this work may be finished soon so that the poor children also may have the advantage of early Christ mas buying That is why the readen of The Republican are urged to make haste not only in enrolling as mem bers of the Empty Stocking club. but in sending in the names of needy children,

If an rancher doesn't give his reason for selling-such as having sold his ranch or lost his lease, etc, why prospective buyers would think that the man had a bunch of junk or poor stock that he wanted to unload on somebody and they wouldn't come around to the sale.

PERSONETTE
BY NlKSAH George Matthew Adams

Might best be described as tonic walking around on two legs. He seems able to infuse his own bubbling spirit of success into others with just a few words, a smile, an ever-ready sym pathy. His little daily talks which help thousands of newspaper readers are really the creed by which he guides his own life. His is not the inane and eternal optimism which is so exas- perating. It is rather the sturdy and understanding cheer of one who has gone through rough places himself, re- ceived hard knocks, almost gone un- der, only to bob up with never-say- die grin, asking no help from others but always ready to help them.
 George Matthew Adams is what is commonly known as a self-made man. But if he were asked he would prob ably say he was a mother made man. In his study hanging over the chair where he does his writing there is a picture of g. sweet faced little lady. Her son always speaks of her with a lowered voice. He worked his way through college by waiting on tables, to show her. He took his first job as an elevator boy in Chicago and plugged away until he became a successful advertising man, to show her. It is his greatest sorrow that he is not able to show her his last success, the thriv- ing newspaper syndicate in New York
 Although it is a popular belief that the self made man has little time for anything but business, MT. Adams has many ether interests. His greatest enthusiasm is etchings. He has one of the finest collections of Legros etchings in the country. Whenever he acquires a new one there is public and triumphal celebration in his of- | flee It is a treat to watch him turn | ing over with reverential fingers and keen delight, the exquisite but little- known work of this English artist. | Mir. Adams secret of success is to live sixty full minutes every hour. He plays as intensely as he works. And the best thing about him is that his enthusiasm and success seem to be contagious and include everyone as- sociated with him.

 The situation has grown very tense, as it were.
 There was an old melodrama called, we believe, Nellie the Beautiful Cloak Model In the first act the villiah threw her in front of moving train. In the second he threw her off Brook lyna bridge In the third he threw her off a steamer in New York bay In the fourth he locked her in a room and set fire to a building-some such sequence of attention. In the fifth he inquired: Why do you distrust me, Nellie ?'.'-Chi. Trib. editorial.

Concerninq Coal

Though the coal strike has ended 1t will be a long time before there will be a normal supply for the country. Even before the strike called the stock of coal in the country depleted There less coal in the yards and the pits than there usually was at the beginning of the coal laying in 7eason. Last summer it will be remembered the coal association and government officials advised the purchase of coal once and warned the country that it would be difficult coal little later The strike at that time taken ino consdera- ton if it was expected that there would be one
 After the beginning of the strike few weeks ago the production throughout the country was re- duced to very low percentage of normal. Many so-caned non-essential industries have been com pelled to suspend for lack fue the operations of some essential industries have been suspended; the early winter in the north and east has been unus- ually cold requiring larger consumption than had been expected Generally there has been what we may call an accumulation of lack of fuel which will have to be made up before there can be nor nal supply for all purposes
 But the economy that has been taught us will stand us in good stead It will be easier for us to save fuel now since learned to save it when we had to do Thus privations are not without their beneficial uses
 And, still another thing The attention of the country and the government has been called more closely and painfully the coal producing industry than ever before. result will probably be strcter supervision of it. The coal mine operators will be- have better under watching They have been given hint that just because the mines are theirs they cannot do with them they please. regardless of the public And the miners organization has also been given hint that labor well coal be exercised in disregard of the public interest.
 That proposition, of course, did not go to de- termination but the question was raised as never before and perhaps labor organization in the future will contest the proposition further than the coal miners organization has done.

INCREASED PRODUCTION

Over in England. about 14o years ago, they had some labor trouble. This industrial revolution as it has been called, resulted in a good deal ot misery and loss.
 It all started when machinery began to appear and factories sprang up here and there to do the work which had been done in the homes by hand.
 A machine for instance, was intro duced which would do the work of ten men. The workmen looked at 1t and figured that if it would do the work ten men could do by hand and only needed the attention of one man, nine men would be thrown out of work. On this snap judgment they went straight way and started strikes that lasted 30 years.
 They didn't stop to realize that the machinery helped every man multiply his output by ten and that as soon as the system became general there would
