PRACTICE,NOT PRINCIPLE

Paris, Feb. 14-President Wilson In
addressing a delegation from the French
Association for a Society OF Nations
yesterday said:
II appreciate very deeply what has
been said. and take IL that the kind
suggestion is that some time after my
return we should arrange & public meet
ing. at which. am quite confident, we
may celebrate the completion OF the
work. at any rate up TO a certain very
far advanced stage, the contamination
OF which we have been working and
hoping for for long time.
TT would be a very happy thing II
that could be arranged. can only say
for myself that I sincerely hope 1t can
be- l should wish to lend any as
sistance possible to so happy a consum-
nation.
IT cannot help thinking OF how many
miracles this war has already wrought,
miracles OF comprehension as to our
interdependence as nations and as hu-
man beings: miracles as TO the removal
of obstacles which seemed big and now
have grown small. in the way OF ac-
tive and organized cooperation Of ma
tions; in regard to the establishment
and maintenance OF justice
Moral Force IL Mobinsed
and the thoughts OF the people hav-
ing been drawn together. there has al
ready been created a force which is not
only very great, but very formidable. a
force which can be rapidly modified, a
force which is very effective when mobil-
lied, namely, the moral force OF the
world.
"One advantage in seeing one an
other and talking with one another Is
to find that, after all, we all think the
same way.
I'VE may try to put the result OF the
thing into different forms. but we start
with the same principles.
II have often been thought OF as a
man more interested in principles than
in practice, whereas, as a matter OF
fact, can say that. In one sense, prin-
ciples have never interested me. Be-
cause principles prove themselves when
stated they do not need any debate.
The thing that is diffcult and interest
ing Is how to put them into practice.
Large discourse Is not possible on the
principles, but large discourse is neces-
sary on the matter OF realizing them
Practice Not Principles
so that. after all principles until
translated into practice are very thin
and abstract and, I may add. uninter-
esting things. II Is not interesting to
have far away visions, but II is inter-
esting to have nearby visions Of what II
Is possible to accomplish. And in a
meeting such az you are projecting per-
haps we can record the success that we
shall have then achieved OF putting a
great principle into practice, and demon
strated that IL can be put into practice.
though only, let US say FIVE years ago
II was considered an impractical dream.
II will cooperate with great happiness
in the plan that you may form after my
return, and thank you very warmly
for the compliment OF this personal
visit"

NEW LIGHT ON.PIGS.
A Decision That Will Please
Pig Fanciers in Washington.

From the New York Globe:
Supreme Court Justice Tompkins
holds that there are pigs and pigs,
and that no law exists by which
pigs per Sc can be prohibited in
East Chester. West Chester, or
anywhere else within his jurisdic-
ton. 1T is a matter Of common
knowledge he declared in his me-
morable decision of this week in
the case of the authorities of the
two Chesters against Lafayette
Wlseman, that pigs may be kept
in clean and sanitary manner"
Judge Tompkins's decision is thor
oughly in harmony with both an
cient practice and modern scientific
opinion on the subject, although it
sharply breaks with the IegaIistic
principle. upheld in the lower
courts, that pigs is pigs. \ pig has
as much self-respect as any other
animal Treated kindly, it becomes
gentle and afcctionate. Given a
regular bath, it soon comes to re-
Eard the bath as an essential part
OF its morning and evening toilet.
Once taught to brush its teeth and
wash behind its ears, it always

hind its ears. II the subject is pre-
sented in an approved pedaEogic
style, the pig soon learns to take
an intelligent interest in public sam
itation. As far back as the thirties
and fOrties Of the last century the
pigs of New York were practically
the only scavengers the city had,
and. on the whole, as Dickens and
other travellers agreed, they did
their work well. What was thrown
out of the window one day in the
form of scraps came back the next
day in the form of bacon. This eco-
nomiCal practice has been discon-
tinued. Why should it not be re-
sumed? If the efforts of the mu-
nicipal white wings were supple
mented by those of a few thousand
well trained white pigs the condi-
tion of the streets might be greatly
improved. And perhaps these intel
ligent and aw-respecting animals
might be of use after dark in scar
ing away burglars and hold-up men,
thus making the police force more
than ever unnecessary.

MANY ALIENS TO LEAVE U. S.
From The New York Post.)

CFrom The New York Post)
One million three hundred thou
sand aliens will leave this country
shortly and return to their own
countries. This estimate was made
by EtheIbert Stewart, director Of the
inspe ction and investigation service
of the Department Of Labor, after a
nationwide inquiry was completed
by the Federal Bureau.
The returning element is COM
posed mostly of the Eastern European
immigrants. an element which has
for years past furnished the bulk
of our unskilled workers-Poles,
Hunga arians, Russians, Croatians,
LIthuanians. Rumanians, Greeks,
Serbs and SloVaks.
It can easily be seen that their de-
parture will Immediately create a
shortage of labor, against which Col
Arthur Woods. assistant to the Sec
retary of War. has repeatedly
warned the employer. The report
of the Department of Labor points
unmistakably in the same direction.

man. formerly superintendent OF
Portland's public schools, as result
Of his service abroad with the army
educational corps.
Alderman was one of more than
800 of Americas prominent educators
who were engaged in advising SOL
diers how to best prepare themselves
to ft their old or some new OcCupa-
ton.
"Virtually one-fourth Of the soldiers
in the army of occupation that came
under my observation. are lliterate
to the extent they can neither read
nor interpret" said Alderman.
Our educational system must be
nationalized We must not permit
local community to have full respon-
sibility in the education of the chill
dren Of America. Every child OF
America is a citizen of all America,
and should have equal educational
opportunity with every other child.
Education must be more practical and
have a closer connection with actual
life"
