The GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

Few men are better equipped
than Elihu Root to render TO his
country a distinguished service. No
man ever born into the world has
done more successful work in ne
gotiationS of treaties and the pro-
motion of international peace than
this great lawyer. His service as
Secretary of War and Secretary of
State in curbing the automatic
WITNESSES of the impulsive and i'm
pctuous Roosevelt, and his more re-
cent service to his country in balk-
ing the effort of the Republican
majority in the United States SEN
ate TO obstruct or prevent the sign
ing of the peace treaty at Versailles
in the form agreed upon by the AL
lied and Associated Powers, have
put the whole civilized world under
obligation. Though now stricken
in years, Mr.. Root yet retains the
physical and mental capability to
do his country final and more sig
nal service. No other man in his
party can do so much to bring about
the early ratification of the peace
treaty.
What a wonderful opportunity
for Root to round out the banquet
of his life by rendering such SER
vice! What an end it would be to
such public career!-Charleston
Gazette.

FIRST PRINCIPLES.

We can treat men worse than
they treat us. Flat is the primal
law; the law Of the robbcr. We can
treat others as they treat us-that is
the Mosaic law.
We can treat others better than
they treat us-that is the law of
Christ.
Long centuries passed before the
world was ready for the thou shalt
not' of Moses, the negative morals
Of the Scribes and Pharisees. 1t was
thousands Of years later before even
a few we're prepared to understand
the law of Christ, and even now,
twenty centuries later, so very few
know the meaning of that law. A
life that is not force for good-an
aggressive helps not a Christian
life. Among nations at last, under
The leadership of America, there is
d reaching out, and in the League
Of Nations, the great civilized natl
ons ore 10 become Christian in face
as well as in name, in that they arc
positive forces for good. Neither
The robber nor The Scribes and
Pharisees type Of morals shall
henceforth rule the nations in their
relations toward each other. The
religion of Christ is vindicating it.

Leaden skies dimmed the color.
but not the enthusiasm of Indepen-
dence Day in Paris, which was cele-
brated last Friday as never before
in history. Indeed, with all the
French public Offices and schools
closed for the day, there was every
sign that the French people had
cheerfully adopted the GLORIOUS
Fourth" as an extra holiday of their
own.
The celebration started as earIv
as O'Clock on the 4th, when
the vast space of the Place de Ia
Concorde was packed with people
TO watch the parade and review of
French and American picked troops

was decorated deliberately. Each
city represented there by statute

Growing maudlin over our re.
turning soldiers is very easy-and
exactly what they dislike.
Every one Of them wants lust one
thing. That is a square deal. And
a square deal doesn't mean a wet
eyed business welcome today, fol-
lowed by an icc-pitcher, "Well
what's wanted" reception tomor-
rom.
These men have no high-fa'utin
notions of their having saved tho
world for democracy; they went
over there, or stayed back here in
service, to lick the Hun and keen
his damnable feet and unrepcntan,
hands off this country. That's alb
Solutcly all.
Now these soldiers want, no,
bronze memorials to gather moss
dust, verdigris and forgetfulness
but a chance 10 earn a decent living
IN the country they put on khaki to
defend.
Are you doing your part to sec
that they get just that?

Lloyd Georges announcement to
the House OF Commons that the for
mcr German Emperor is to be tried
by an international tribunal will be
received with general satisfaction
outside of Germany. The decision
follows the line of the Napoleonic
precedent and of the American
phrase that guilt in personal. The
eN-Emperor in his day of power
proclaimed himself the vice gerent
Of God, and allowed no one to ques-
ton his authority. He cannot now
logically hide behind his ministers
and officials who did his pleasure.
There is no crusade of vengeance
IN this decision, nCr does it merely
offer scapegoat to popular c!ar,or.
II is even more important now than
II was in Napoleon's time TO estab-
lish the principle of personal re-
>ponsibility on the part Of public
officials. In popular governments
the public will can always be asccr-
tanned. Hereafter, if there should
be absolute governments, their rul-
ers will find a salutary warning in
The case of the Emperor who plung-
ed tl:c world into war in 1914.

Strong opposition to placing the

Federal Civil Service regulations
was registered yesterday by nor
nal and high school teachers in
a brief presented to the reclassifi-

The teachers alleged that detri-
ment to the local schools would re-

teachers were taken over by the
Cpited States Civil Service Com
mission. Grade teachers of the Dis
trict also are opposed to the prom
iosition. which was first outlined by

some weeks ago.
Important tests can be given
teachers by an examining board
within the school system with bet

stated in the brief.

DROPPING EXCHANGE
HITS FARMER MOST

Speaking before the Missouri So
ciety last night at the Washington
Club. Prof. II. ]. Waters. former
dean Of the State Agricultural COL
lege of Kansas, said that prices for
farm products should be stabilized.
He declared that this could be ac-
complished by settling the peace
treaty and extending a reason
able amount of credit to the nations
OF Europe, and insisting that they
pay a reasonable price for our prod
ucts which they must purchase.
Prof. Waters said that the serious
economic situation forced on our
country on account of the low value
OF foreign money had affected the
farmer most of all. because he is
forced to sell his product at a low
price. while the items which he must
purchase are high priced.
The talk by Prof. Waters was sup
plemented by a short program, con-
sisting of vocal numbers by Mrs.
Grace Hazard and Miss Inez Miller
and readings by Mrs. Elizabeth Fred.
