ARE SENATE SEATS FOR SALE?

In its disposition of Henry Ford g
contest Of the election Of Truman ID.
Newberry Of Michigan, the United
States Senate has an opportunity as
plain as it's duty to decide whether
large and lavish; if not reprehensible,
expenditure Of money is enough to give
title to a seat in that branch Of Con-
gress; whether violations of the law
such as are charged-are to be condor
ed by body whose functions it is to
frame laws.
There is no denial that Mr.. Newber-
ry's apparent plurality at the polls was
obtained by the use Of very large sums
of money. The law limits the personal
expenditures by or on behalf Of senator
ial candidates to $4,000. It is admit
ted that there was an outlay of $l7S,'
900 in Mr.. Newberry's primary cam
paign alone. There is evidence for the
presumption that an even bigger
amount was used in furthering his cleo
ton.
Mr.. Ford has a right to demand from
the Senate a guarantee that candi
date who respects and obeys the Law
shall not be defeated by an opponent in
whose interest the law is ignored an6
violated. There is, obviously, involved
in this contest more important consid
Grafton than Mr.. Ford's political for
tunes. There is the question whether
such brazen attempts to influence cleo
tions by unlawful use of money are tc
be rewarded by membership in "the
greatest deliberative body in the
world" whether ballots OF slush funds
are to determine who shall hold public
Office. ..~...

MIR. Hays's Women Aids.

After reading the plan of campaign
outlined by Mrs. Medill Mccormick,
chairman of the Republican Women's
National Executive Committee, in an in
terview with the Washington correspond
ent of The Tribune, no one can say
again with truth that women have not a
genius for politics. Mrs. Mccormick
and her aids have not only mapped out
their organization, from the national or
ganization down to the township commit
tee, with the ninutest detail, but they
make point Of publicity as to their de-
signs. They purpose to bring every Re-
publican woman in the country into the
organization and draw her into the cam
paign of 1920, and if the opposition can
gain any advantage from having infor-
nation as to this plan it is welcome to it,
Mrs. Mccormick disclaims any inten-
ton on the part of The women of in
Producing innovations. The old system
of organization which the men have
found effective will be emulated by the
women, but there are certain tasks that
women are peculiarly fitted for, Mrs.
Mccormick points out, and these tasks
will be undertaken, in addition to the
regular organization plans.
Besides the ordinary, old-fashioned
campaign routine,' said Mrs McCor-
mick, "the women's committee of the
Republican party is planning a new line
of educational work. We believe that
women can teach foreigners to vote.
They can organize citizenship classes.
They can see that the proper transla-
tions are made of pamphlets on Amer
lcanizatiOn and on citizenship"
Mrs. Mccormick and her associates
have aligned themselves with the Re
publican party, she points out, "because
we believed the Republican party was a
party of action and not of phrases, and
that Republican Congress, in spite of
its difficult situation, will find real lead
crs and go forward"
Mrs. McCormick's declaration is an
admirable combination of idealism and
sound politics. The work of her organ
ization viii be an interesting develop
ment of the next campaign.

the police succeeded in carrying away the
French flag, but not without first having de-
stroyed it in their efforts to wrest it from
the people. Those who had hold of the Bel
gian flag were more fortunate and succeeded
in returning it to the legation.
notwithstanding the stern measures en-
ployed to quell these demonstrations the
people of Caracas made up their minds TO
gather the following day in greater num-
bers, to again show their sympathy for the
Allies. This, unfortunately, could not be
done to any great extent. owing to torren-
tial rain which fell that day. The follow
ing day, however, there was a third demon
stration in one of the public squares; but
this time the police, having been fore

Illusory Clouds

4 remarkable fact was set forth in
the interview with Mr.. John G. Shedd, at
the. head of the house of Marshall Field
s. Co., on our business page of Tuesday
This was as to the tremendous volume of
retail business since the armistice was
signed. This was Mr.. Shedd's testi-
mony:
"The retail drygoods business has al
ways been an excellent barometer of the
purchasing power of the people. Reports
that we have received from all sections
of the country prove that the months of
December 1918, and January, 1919 have
shown the largest volume of retail dis
tribution in our history"
This surprising volume of business
gives little support to the prevailing tone
Of pessimism in many lines of trade. Mr.
Shedd believes that such a display of
confidence on the part of the public
SHOULD be an inspiration to all manu-
facturers and distributors" Yet he
says:
'ln the face of such evidence of the
national welbeing of the people, manu-
facturers and distributors are hestating
in their operations for the future, and
continuance of this hestancy may we'll
demoralize the economic as we'll as the
social conditions of the country"
There is here a very obvious possibil-
ity. Our present day business machinery
is made up of tremendous number of
interconnected wheels. If one gets out of
order or stops, the whole mechanism is
deranged Such arrangement is tenn
porary and never can continue long 1t
is, in fact unnecessary at all. There is
abundant evidence that buying power is
present in great strength, nowhere more
so than in the remarkable demand for
Injuries. Also the great lowering in
ocean freight rates must Immediately
give strong stimulus to our export
trade. The clouds people think they see
are produced by fear of things that need
not happen. They are, in fact, economic
illusions.

Pro-Cermanism in Venezuela

We publish elsewhere on this page an
article from a Venezuelan newspaper
issued in this city--calling attention to
the strong anti-Aily attitude Of the
Gomez government in Caracas. Gomez
has been one Of the most ardent pro-
German Latin-American executives. He
has been, perhaps, more outspoken than
Carranza. And he has been pro-German
chiefly because ne is anti-American.

Ito leave these hallowed sites fallow for

surely, what exhausted France will
scarcely be able to undertake. The
drenching rains of winter, the crumbling

What Venezuela Wants
From La loren Venexuelu

nN King Albert's day the students and
~ the people of Caracas, desrous Of
publicly expressing their sympathy for the
cause of the Allies, gathered in great mum
bers before the Belgian Legation in that
city
The people marched in an orderly manner
to the doors of the legation, which the min
lister hastened to open, admitting as many
as the building would hold Toasts and
speeches were made recounting the glorious
deeds of Belgium and her King. of the Allies
and of the United States Before departing
the people requested from the minister the
Belgian flag in order to parade it through
the streets of the city, to which request the
minister Immediately acceded The parade
thereupon started toward the American Le-
cation with the purpose of rendering a
tribute of sympathy to the great democracy
of the North
The police of Caracas, obeying specific in
structions from Gomez, Ind already en-
deavored to disperse the multitude, threat
cning to thcir weapons, although not
daring to go so far.
Meanwhile the parade had arrived at the
American Legation. The minister was away,
but they secured an American flag and
marched toward tho Legation of France
where the scene that occurred at the Bel
ginn Legation was repeated, and on leaving
>the people asked for tho French flag, which
also immediately givn.
Meantime the police had received rein
forcements and prepared to attack the
people. which they did soon as the pa
rade resumed it's march. The police at
tackled with firearms in their hands with the
intention of carrying away the flags of the
Allies, which Of coursc, brought on great
uproar and strife between them and the peo-
plo, who would not allow such nm insult to
pass with impunity. However, after while
