First Aid for the Lawrence Babel.

From the Christian Science Monitor.
Few cities better exemplify social and
industrial conditions that ought not to
continue to exist in tho United States
h a the Massachusetts, city OF Lawrence.
In a total population of about 100, 600. more
than one-third are workers in the great
textile mills for which the city is famous.
but of these 35. 900 operatives more han
0 1000, or about one-third, do not speak
or understand the English language.
h in itself would appear to be enough
to explain the continually recurring labor
troubles from which the community SUI
fers, but the situation is aggravated by
the fact that the non-English using por-
ton of the people is subdivided into many
different n%ationalities and dialects. AL
most the last thing that might be ex-
pected from such a situation would seem
to be that the diversified groups should
be able to arrive at q real understanding,
whether over industrial matters or any
thing else. Certainly they can never
reach an understanding until they learn
to communicate with one another intelli-
gtbly.
- Only the otncr day, an Italian who had
lived and worked in the city for at least
half a lifetime. according to the social
welfare agent who cites the instance,

him to be n of the present set Of strik-

to explain that he was entitled to go to
work in the mill. he was arrested. and
kept in police hands until al interpreter
could make his position clear. This man
recognized the logic of the situation. He
began forthwith to study English. II the
same logic could be made to appeal to the

this Constitution, when ratified by the
legislatures of three fourths OF the sew
eral states, or by conventions in three
fourths thereof, as the one or the other
mode of ratification may be proposed
by the Congress"
This language is held by advocates
of prohibition to mean that the Con-
stitution does not recognize the right
Of the states to determine for them
selves the manner Of ratification, leav-
ing it to Congress. Had it been other
wise, article V would, as in other mat
tiers, have left the manner of ratifica-
ton to the choice of the state. Sec
tion of article /, for instance, leaves
to the states the "times, places and
manner of holding elections for sena-
tors and representatives" save that
Congress may at any time by law
make or alter such regulations 1t
also provides, section !. article II, that
cdcu STATE siai apPoiht' III SUM HIGH
ner as the legislature thereof may di-
rect, a number of electors" for elee-
ton of President and Vice President.
Had it been the intention of the Con-
stitution makers to leave to the states
the manner of ratifying amendments
it would doubtless have specified to
that effect as in the case of elections.
The fact that it did in one ease give
the states right of choice of method
and did not in another would seem
to furnish ground for court action
sustaining the legislative notifications
regardless of referendum laws.

Retirement as Insurance.

A feeling of confidence in the pos
sibiGty of House action for depart
mental retirement has been expressed
following a hearing on the Heating
bill. 1t is urgently to be hoped that
this can be accomplished at the pres
emit session, at which, despite all the
pressure for action on important meas
ures, there will assuredly be opper-
tunity if the spirit prevails.
The legislative situation regarding
retirement is prepitious. In the SEN
ate the Mcclellan bill, identical with
the Heating measure, has been brought
to a vote and a substitute adopted by
a Narrow margin, putting all the ex-
pense of pension system upon the
employees. A motion to reconsider the
vote by which this substitute was
adopted has been entered and the
friends of the original bill believe that
it can be carried. Should the House
meanwhile act faverably on the Keat-
ing bill the chances of a reconsidera-
ton by the Senate would be increased.
It is obvious that sentiment fer some
form of departmental retirement is
steadily growing in Congress. Only
few years ago it was Impossible to
gain more than a bare hearing for the
proposal. Advocates of such meas
ure were put of with inquiries and
vague promises Of subsequent action.
Now the members of the House and
Senate generally recognize that some
thing must be done to clear the de-
partments Of the superannuated, and
to establish a sense. Of peTmanenee for
the protection of the government. At
present the departmental force is rea-
sonably stable because Of the hope on
the part of the men and women who
have devoted the major part Of their
lives to it that some day the United
States would follow the lead Of other
large employers-and many compare
lively small ones-in providing a
method of retirement for employees.
Had it net been for this expectation
of eventual retirement the government
undoubtedly would have lost many OF
it's best workers during the emergency
Of war. They remained Oh duty, how
ever, and prevented serious lack of
service in the public Offices. This was
also the experience of many private
employers, who had by the adoption
Of retirement systems insured them
selves as it were against service losses.
This consideration is now to be horne
in mind in the matter of protecting the
government in Ahe future. II the pres
ont occasion is permitted to pass with.

Stop the Traffic Casualties!

! A reign of terror prevails in the streets
I of Washington at present. Automo-
| biles are being driven with such reck
| lessness that people are being killed
and injured at an appalling rate. Traf-
| fic rules are being violated most reck-
| lessly by drivers who appear to be
! either ignorant Of or Indifferent to all
| the regulations. Arrests are being
| made from time to time, but these eff
forts of the police are not effective
in checking the carelessness and in
difference to life which prevails.
At the present rate Washington will
have soon become the most dangerous
city in the country from this cause.
The streets are crowded. it is true, by
both pedestrians and vehicles, and con-
ditions are highly propitious to aeei-
dent But this very fact should make
for greater care on the part of all
ger that exists in practically all parts
of the city
In the great majority of cases of ar
rests made in the past the decision has
been that the victims were themselves
responsible for their death or injury.
But it cannot be set down as a fixed
principle that the burden Of respon-
sibility rests upon the pedestrian.
There is no longer any right of way
at crossings at present for those who
walk. Persons crossing streets vir-
tually do so at their own risk, even at
the intersections. The skip stop system
has placed the car stops at such points
that pavements must be used in mid
block in many places of vehicular con-
gestion.
The severest penalties should be adj
ministered to those drivers and motor
lists who break the rules, whether they
injure people or not. A few long Jail
sentences will have wholesome eff
feet. Certain classes of drivers today
appear to regard themselves as immune
from all restrictions, notably some of
those who run the Army motors, and
these should be made to understand
quickly that they are equally subject
to regulation with all others who use
the streets. Truck drivers have grown
most careless and Indifferent in the
handling Of their machines, Employ
ers and superior officers should give
strict instructions that all who work
for them and under their direction
must respect the regulations and the
rights Of pedestrians in the streets.

The Presidents Stamping Tour.

If the President tours the country
in behalf of his attitude toward peace
he will address enormous crowds at
every stopping place. For several rea-
SONS, the people will flock to hear him.
His receptions abroad have increased
interest in the man. Time is inereas-
ing the interest felt in all post war
problems But, most of all, interest
will attach to the definite statement
the President will then be making.
The leading difficulty in this eoun-
try as respects this matter today
springs from the obscurity, the dark
ness, that envelops it. The fourteen
points laid down by the President are
generaizations. They read well, and
voice aspirations in which all peoples
might we'll share. But, on practical
grounds, several of the number are
challenged, both at home here and
abroad.
The time has come fer particulars.
The President is expected to make his
meanings entirely clear. The world
is at attention, and the American world
in particular awaits his further de-
iverance with some solieitude.
This deliveranee will have been made,
of course, before the President takes
the stump. But his stump speeches
will elaborate it, and in that way pos
sess tremendous drawing power of
their own.
We do not know, but soon should
know, to what extent the Presidents
original views have been affected by
his conferences abroad. He has met
the leading statesmen of Europe on
this business, given his views and re-
ceived theirs. Not unlikely, his hori-
zen has been changed somewhat by
this experience.
The result of this tour, If the tour
is made, should tell on the Senate.
Maybe that is the Presidents object.
He will want his work approved by the
Senate, and will expect public senti-
ment, if he arouses it in his favor, to
Influence the Senate.
IF the President has changed his
views, what will be the effect on the
6enatef Something will depend, Of
course, en- just what his final attitude
may prove to be. The opposition to
the President now existing in the Sen
ate is based upon the generaizations
under criticism for vagueness. Should
the Presidents explanations at Yer
sailles prove satisfactory to senators
now opposed to what his program Il
supposed to be, the necessity for the
stumping tour might disappear. On
the other hand, if such senator's are
not 50 moved, their attitude toward
the stumping tour may produce one OF
the most interesting situations the
country has ever known.

Ratification and Referendum.

Progress toward the full ratification
of the federal prohibition amendment
has been rapid during the past few
days, and there is now a virtual GER
tainty that by the close of the present
week the necessary number Of state
have re-
corded their assent. A new angle Of
the ease, however, has developed, to
involve possible delay in the proela-
nation by the State Department Of
the full adoption of the amendment.
The Governor Of California has been
temporarily enjoined from certifying
the ratification by the legislature of
that state, a member of the Grape
Growers Association pleading that all
acts of the legislature must be sub
mitted to referendum of the people
before becoming effective. The dis
tillers' committee in charge of the fight
to prevent nationwide prohibition has
announced its intention to conduct
similar contests in other states which
have adopted the referendum. Some
of these have already by their legis-
latures ratified and others are about
to do 80. This involves a new line of
argument before the courts, which
have just negatived the plea that the
vote in Congress was insufficient to
submit the federal amendment to the
states.
Article v of the Constitution pro-
vides that Congress, whenever two
thirds of both houses shall deem it
necessary, shall propose amendments
to this Constitution, or, on the appli-
cation Of the Legislatures Of wo-thirds
of the several states, shall call con
vention for proposing amendments,
