Orchids Of Human Elegance.
(NeW York Sum


 The New Jersey commuter who be- Queathed a legacy of $15.O0O to an Erie passenger train conductor as a reward for unfailing courtesy proved something besides the value of good manners; the cause of them.
 Note that It was an Erie COnduc- tor; not a conductor of one of those mile a minute trainS which rush and roar at breathleSS speed with sha kings and joltings enough to give body fits. NO The benefit was conferred upon a conductor whose nerves had been soOthed, temper cooled, deportm calmed by years of tranquil and de- Hberate travel.
 There is no one we'll informed on the subject who is not aware of the cause of what is frequently referred to a British mperturba hlity: it is the English infantile training by nurses, the constant admonition. "Don't rush about" It is we'll cough to go about your business be about when wanted or come about when beating to wind ward, but do not rush about Youth full submission to this wise command does not, it is evident impose upon Albion's sons look or manner of one chastcned in spirit; merely it fepresses outward signs of eXcitablity.
 So the conductor or any other man whose days are passed not in rushing about, but in unrufflcd, unjoggled, un- hurried undertakings of duty, in time develops enviable qualities of mind which are inevitably reflected in ad- mirable manners.

Probably there are Democrats who feel the same way about it's adoption. There may be totally altered view point of the treaty upon all sides, after the Senatorial quiz, now beinS conducted is concluded. Notwith- standing, there is now, in the United States, a desire for the adoption of the quickest and best available docu- ment for the preservation of peace. There is a sentiment that the treaty is the best solution of the difficulty among Republicans as well as Demo- crats. Should a referendum vote on the proposition be submitted to the people it would be carried, wholly
 With such diversity of opinion there would be little element of surprise in the forma ton of a third party, ono which would support the League and would not commit itself to the tradi- tions of either former political faction. Such an organization would receive many votes and might prove the only salvation for the Republicans, who could figure to keep the Republican prologue electors and attract many Democrats who might be dissatisfied with the methods of the administra- ton, irrespective of the treaty atti- tude.
 It might be that the Lea gue and the Prohibition Amendment will be the cause of an entire overthrow in our present system. Everything else has changed. The old parties refuse to keep pace with the changes. It may be time for the transfusion of new blood into the veins of politics.

Where StatCSmanShip Has Failed.
(NeW York WOrld)

(NoW Ork " OTld.)
 Nowhere has statesmanshp risen to the emergency with d solution of the problem of the high cost of living. From every quarter of the cNlllzed world come the same complaints of tho steady increase in the prices of necessaries since the signing of the armiStice. Month after month has passed without any effective means haring been devised to change condi- tions for the better. In countries de- moralizcd and cXhasuted by the pri- vations of war, governments cling to the policy of drift, as though people who are pinchcd by want could be persuaded that their only hope of relief was to bidc in patience the ad- vent of happier days.
 In Italy the government has had to face acute social unrest culminating in widespread food riots during which the people in many cities in their desperation have seized stocks of provisions. Premier Nitti pleads before tho pariia ent that the gov ernment has done it's utmost and that to reduce further the price of wheat, already handled at heavy loss, will mean ruin. In France short dOmcs- tic supplies, restricted impOrtatonS and excessive prices are pictured as the cause of dire want among large classes of the population who have looked in vain for easier conditions since the cessation of hostiiities. In England Dr. Conan Doyle predicts popular uprisings if price-Jumpin6 is not promptly stopped. '"There is no limit to conscienceless greed he pro- tests and insists that the dealers be restrained.
 The universal cry is against peace profiteering, of which there is abun- dant proof in all these countries, as there is today in the United states Against that abuse it~shOuid not be impossible to adopt m measures that Will check if not stop it. Yet the food extortioners and prOtiteers arc per mitted to go unmolested while lawn makers and official bodies soiemnly discuss why nothing can be done.

THE CONQUEROR.

The Sea and Shore held converse, long And the Sea mocked the Land, and
 said, Aha, For all thy spreading acres thou dost
 show
 But the bond-slave of Man; each
 year more far He blows and sows and reaps, dcepen-
 ing the scar Upon thy patient breast; all thou
 canst bear H e claims his own; thy beauty he doth
 mar,
 Lifting strange structures, that he
 misnames fair, And mimic mountains to the laugh
 ing air. "What though white sails ficck here
 and there my blue, Hi punN ships arc but the wild
 waves jest, Only when Neptune wills may Man
 pursue
 His brave adventure and his sol
 emn quest Though Golden Fleece, or Islands of
 the Blest. Or unknown, dream glimpsed shores
 his search may be, Loves siren call, Ambition s high be-
 hest,
 Are to~the Sea-god one; nor mark
 eth he
 The tears of Hero or Penelope" The Air then mocked the Sea, and
 said,
 70 thou.
 Who yesterday didst make such
 boastings vain, Of thy unconquerable might, see how Man drives his mighty fleet through
 thy domain. Thy raging waves are but an emerald
 plain
 Ger which he speeds; Man rules the
 deep, and sighs That my far fields untrammeled
 must remain: He may not chart the pathway of
 the skies,
 But he is lord of what below him
 les.' Then the great stars looked down,
 and held their breath For still they saw Man conqucror- knew him king Of Earth and Sea and Air; though to swift death His brothers plunged, with fearless, giant wing, And iron heart whose mighty pulsings bring Terror to Jore's own bird, above the mass Of sheathng Clouds, the thunder's | trumpetng, 1 He scared; and paung planets sigh ed, Alas. \ 1 Can stars their secrets keep?-come not Mans dreams to pass?

The Peanut Gets a Hearing.
Providence JOurnal.)

(PrON1dencG journal.
 The senate, the other day, it's in terest awakened for the first time in that little thing, the great American peanut, voted unanimously and en- Enthusiastically to grant the department of agriculture twelve thousand dol lars for collecting and distributing by telegraph, mail and otherwise in formation on the supply, demand, comm merCial movement, disposition quality and market price of peanuts" [" The meaning is that, so far as the modest initial appropriation will go, the government will now begin to furnish crop reports, the state of the market and other instructive matter relating to peanuts-such facts and forecasts as have long been distributed for the benefit of growers and con- sumers of, and traders in, cotton, the cereals. tobacco, apples. hogs and virtually every crop except the peanut.
 Why the peanut has been hereto fore overlooked is only to be ex- plained on the ground that our paternal government has been as ignorant of it's economic importance as most of us-though we are a pea nut-eating people. The senate was told that, last year, our prolific soil produced more than fifty million bushels of the goobers. as they are called in the growing country, down South. Apparently about as many more bushels were rooted up by droves of pigs, turned into the fields for fattening. It is estimated that d hundred million dollars worth an- nually reaches the market in the shell or in the form of oil and butter, and an equal amount in the form of ham and bacon. The value of the peanut as food crop is unquestion- able, of course-the dietary scientists say it is perfect substitute for meat.
 Almost every day, if we keep our eyes and ears open, we may learn something interesting about some thing or other.

COMMUNICATED.
IS ANDREWS TO BE OTSTIID 2

From what took place at the last
 meeting of the school board, there
 seems to be movement on foot to
 oust C. s. Andrews as truant officer
 on the part of d few members of
 the board to whom Mir. Andrews has become persona non Grata. This is
 to be brought about in a sort of
 underhandcd way by abolishng what
 is now known as the truancy depart ment and setting up in it's stead a "depa rtment of attendance' which to
 tho ordinary lay mind is a difference
 without a distinction, mere subtcr- fuge, pure simple cam mOuf1age. Is it the object to Oust Andrews in the
 interests of economy? Hardly. For
 efficiency sake? I don't think so. Mr.
 Andrews has been truant officer for the past fourteen years. He held the office during all of that time either
 because he was ca pa ble and efficient or because those members who are
 now trying to oust him were so grossly incompetent that it took them fourteen years to find out Andrews was inefficient and that the time had come to make change. It seems to mo that the fact that Andrews has filled the position for the. past four teen years without a single complaint having been lodged against him is the strongest argument that could be made in favor of not busting him but of retaining him unless the change is to he made in the interests of "econo- my" 70 try and keep down the mount ing costs in the running of the schools. This is not likely from the fact that Andrews salary is but $500 a year. It does not seem that the pruning knife could be used to any extent here. l don't think Andrews has ever received an increase in the past four teen years although some other school employees have in the same time re- ceved increases of almost 100 per l cent notably the superintendent of 1 schools Now does the school board wish the people to understand that the assistant Miss Cam pbe1l is to have under the "re- organized departm ent' ] is to receive less than Andrews got. If l so surely the board has undergone a 1 change of heart in the interest of the 1 taxpayer. This seems too good to be 1 truc Time alone will tell.

States has a senator Eetn ..,.,,.ed and elected to the presidency.
 And from some of the perfor- manCes that l have seen since 1 have been here,' he added, ''on both sides, l have long ago ceased to wonder at what once addressed itself to my mind as a most remarkable phcnOm- CnOn.'
 Senator BOrah swallowed his Adams apple rather hastily, and a few others who are known to have presidential aspirations batted their eyes.
 The remarks of the senator were occasioned by the holding up of a resolution that was favored by the democrats
 We all know that since the death of MT. Roosevelt many candidates for the presidency of the United States have blossomed, and will continue to blossom on the other side of the chamber, and each of course. is ploW- ing his own furrow with his own heifer, in the hope that his blow share will turn up the particular presidential grub.'

(NeW York Herald


 COnfuCius was the author of what since has become known US the Gold ell Rule. The Chinese have listened to American protestations of brotherly love and have felt that in this country they had a true friend. It is not given to many Americans to know the Chi nose equivalent of double e-cross." but it is easy enough for them all to una derstand why Chinese now hold to the opinion that China was double crossed by President Wilson.
 The situation is one that does not augur well for Americas $ prestige with China in the future. Undoubtedly the refusal Of their delegates to sign the peace treaty has the approval of the Chinese people. If by it China is left out in the cold" the Chinese find comfort in the fact that this is not the first time their country has had tha; experience.
 It may even be that more good than harm will come to China from desertion on the part of those who protested friendship. Modern disciples of Confucius-an eminently clear thinker, who did not chase moon bcams-hold that the stand taken by the delegates at Paris will drive home to the Chinese people the fact of their Country's isolation and that by so do' ing it will promote the unity and de- velop tho natiOnaliSm so much needed for their country's protection. It may be so But if the proposed League of Nations looks to Chinese very like s pack of wolves, can anybody blame them

Meriden Record. )


 Alas for Stevenson of the graphic pen! Here is a subject worthy of his powers, and how he would have rel ished it!
 In the very region where Stevenson wrote some of his most delightful tales, the island of Samoa, certain small boys have been digging up buried treasure.
 The treasure is forty chests filled with gold and buried by the German officers who sought to fec from the islands after the United States joined the Allies.
 When the United States navy ofl- cers questioned the Germans they claimed to have disposed Of all the money to German agents. But Com- mandcr Strum of the L. s. x. knew a thing or two about Germans. so he started details of his men searching for the treasure.
 They found nothing. Then Strum appealed to the school children of Samoa, and never did children have a oh more to their taste. They dug and they delvedt> they hunted and they prospected. and did they find the gold? They did. Leave il to them. Almost all of the supply has been un- earthcd and turned over to Uncle Sam.
 It is easy to imagine that school teachers in Samoa found their lives hard during these days Of treasure hunting. for what book could hold a tule half so exciting, or what arithme- tic problem be nearly so thrilling as trying to guess how much gold each chest contained?
 Huck and Tom will turn in their graves when they hear of this

TEAGTTF OF NATIONS AS \ PARTY
 ISSUE,

If appears from the trend ot the reap1,e of Nations situation that lead ers of both the Democratic and Re- nublican parties will attempt to make a partisan issue of the pact at the 1920 Presidential election Rumbllngs frono Washington rumor it., many such forecasts are being made about the country, it may come about.
 Members of both parties will find themselves hopelessly lost when the fight comes to the polls for decision. Broadminded Republicans will fur nish the majority of the men without a party, though a few prominent Democrats will also be lost. The fol- lowers of Taft, a large part of the New York state G. o. P, and others might be confronted with the need of voting for a Democrat or desertinS their party The opposite might be the case with the large constituency of Col Watterson, of Louisville, and such men as Gore from Oklahoma. An interesting situation will arise and new political parties will be form ed, the old ones fading into oblivion We believe that division should not be brought about by the argument as an international league is not a matter to be fought out on political lines. If the covenant is the only question be- fore the voter next year and it's adop- tion is assured by the election of Democrats, Democrats will win, we believe
 There may be those who, like Gov ernor Holcomb will desert their par ties if they support the League or re- fuse it endorsement. Our own Gov ernor has expressed himself as being unalterably opposed to the League.

Scandal Of tho Russian Soviet M1SSloi

From the papers seized last week in the offices of the Russian Soviet Mission in this city, it has already become known that instead of re- stricting itself to commercial trans actions, as it's head declared it would, the mission has consistently and per sistentlv engaged in political propa- ganda. .It will surprise nobody if nolitics should turn out to have been the principa business of the mission; and it's politics is directed to the over throw of the governments of the United States and of the several states composing the United States.
 This mission came to the United States and sought official recognition at a time when some Of our soldiers were fighting the Bolsheviki in the ,Archangel district and others were cooperating with the enemies of Bolshevism in Siberia. It did not get official recognition, but it did gain the privilege of opening offices here which served as headquarters for it's participation in the politics of this country. It aligned itself with the radicals in our population who were doine. all they could 10 shoot -Amer-
  vincing evidence has been produced that it took an active part in support of the propaganda of violence, Of which bomb Outrages are an essen- tial and inevitable incident.
 The toleration of the Russian Soviet in this country while American soldiers werC being shot by Bolshe wiki in Russia is, and has been from it's beginning, a scandal and a shame. Had the mission in fact done nothing except to try to bolster up the falling power of TrotzkN and Lcnine by all lianccs with American business tol- eratiOn of it here would have been disgra ceful. But it's political activi- ties-about which the federal govern ment ought to have known at the outset-shOuld have brought prompt expulsion from the country of it's m em bers through the operation of the federal power. They should not have been permitted to plot the down. fall of America until a committee of the New York Legislature published their guilt. ~- The history of the Russian Soviet Mission here records disgraceful neg lect Of duty by the officials of the
