in position to move on Munich.

How Far It Went.

Secretary Of State Lansing was be-
wailing the commercialism of a GER

following story to illustrate his
point:

and was the house guest of a wealthy
family whose most-prized gem was a
daughter named Agnes. The English
man was viewing the estate with the
girls father and waxed enthusiastic

THE TABLES TURNED.

While the democrats were in
power, republicans dinned the
country S ears with criticism and
denunciation. Every act and
every omission was wrong. Moth
ing was right. The war was mud
died; peace was delayed; recon
struction was impossible. The cure
was a republican congress, with
brilliant statesmen and economists
like Senators Lodge and Penrose
and Representative Gillett and
Mondell as its leaders.
Three months Of republican re-
sponsibility and control has not
convinced the people that the
change was for the better. In
deed, there is not a problem
which has not become more
acute; not a popular demand that
has not remained unfullilled in
this fourth of a year Of republi-
can accountability for legislation.
At the worst, the democratic
congress preceding the one now
in session was charged with doing
its work poorly. But it acted.
The present republican congress
has done next to nothing-and
done it very badly. If the demo-
Gratis made mistakes it was be-
cause they made efforts. Against
the republicans is fairly charge
able the greatest and costliest of
all misunderstanding to try.

THE SELFISHNESS OF
CLASSES.

Anyone who looks over the
newspaper and other expressions
of opinion from class and trade
sources, must be impressed by the
spirit Of selfishness commonly
displayed. The organs of the
capitalists seem anxious only to
have the rights of property pre-
served. The organs Of labor arc
clamoring for advantages for the
unions, regardless of other ele-
ments. Farm papers can see only
the interests of the farmers
Trade jourals seem to consider
solely the welfare Of the trade
Everyone must remember that
the community at large has its in
terest, far greater than that Of
any single class.
There is altogether too much
class dictation. AT some periods
the capitalists appear the worst
dictators, and crush the elements
of manual labor into the dust
with heartless selfiShness. AT
other times labor appears the
most ruthless, and highly or
ganized groups threaten the com
munity with paralysis Of industry
and starvation unless their de-
mands are acceded to- AT other
times both these two elements get
together and by their power of
organization squeeze the general
public.
The prevalence in the world of
narrowncss and sclfishncss ac-
counts for most Of the social self
ishness accounts for most Of the
social difficulties now existing.
To attain its ends, any element
must give the general public an
impression of reasonableness and
consideration Of all interests. The
man who can't attain this point |
of view, is not fitted for any
form of leadership lie does his
cause more harm than good

"We view with alarm and OPP

oppose the Plumb plan Of buying

dom sees fit to give these rail

that congress shall also buy all
of the farms Of the United States

all of the farmers to operate
them, paying to the farmers a
wage equal to two-thirds Of the
hourly wage that the average rail
