conference; that the president stood rather alone in his desire for just and perpetual peace; that late allies "on the make" that with less regard for the future they preparing to get the most possible out of the present; that while still wandering in the rosecoored fog of sentmentalty in which had groped for two years the French the British and the Italians though they induged in much sentimental talk during the war, have emerged from any fog in which they may have been enveoped into the clear air of practcaty, and are graspng at substantial objects within reasonable reach.
 The increasing opinion, therefore is that the peace conference will be stormy one, perhaps much than any the preceding great conferences into which very capable men entered with not only very clear notions of what they wanted but with fairly clear notions to the to be employed to get them.
 It is probably this stormy outlook that suggested coture upon the proceedings of the conference.-the keep from the eyes of the world the spectacle of the conflict and especially avoid the dsillusionment of Americans long as possible
 It is that there nothing sordidly substantial that expect want from the conference But have wanted something more than that-the realiza-
 ton of the ideals for which we fought for which we given the lives our soldiers and have ungrudg ngly poured out billions.
 If it should transpire that We have only fought rearrange territorial boundaries in Europe Asia and Africa-that our allies might enlarge their domn- ions or strengthen their positions, We can not but feel that part in the in vain that after all the glory of troops and the magnitude of our sacrifices, we have suffered defeat

The Propaganders

Long before the signing of the arnistice even be- fore knew how badly off Germany was, we were looking forward to peace and were fervently hoping that there would be numbered among it's blessings a cessation modification of the activities of those men and women who not content with world made safe for democracy, striving for perfect world, according to specifications that each made. Some of these persons were in government service and drawing government salaries; others belonged to private organizations and also drawing salaries the while they wasting lot of paper and post age. But they will not let go This horror of the persists There is reduction of the worth less mail that comes from Washington and other haunts of the propaganders and propageese, for all of them not ganders.
 Yesterday morning desk was piled higher than with this stuff. Though months ago we had de- vsed scheme for the quick handling of i-by leaving the anitor gather from the floor the unopened velopes find that it takes time to push the the floor. Our experience has ren- dered us exceedingly sympathetic with the Galveston News which complains:
 The propagandists who so busy at>Washngton and mighty near everywhere else do not expect the publishers to publish all the trivial statistics and dundant drvel which flow into the editorial every day. Many of these compositions intended for the education of the edtor it being commonly derstood by the professional propagandsts that editors class misinformed stupid, according to their distance from headquarters" Considering the so-caed scarcity of labor in the United States and the gut of experts at the commercial and political centers, why doesn't statesman, hoping to be- immortal, propose that the propaganda boys be hustled out of their warm places and sent back to the farm? There are sad to be hundreds and hun dreds of special and free-lance correspondents at Paris each with bad case of cacoethes scribendi, and they reighting the mails and the cables with unutterable lot of balderdash In addition to the clutter of correspondents there other hundreds thousands first and third assistant secre- ares researchers data harvesters compilers ndxers preface specialists, red tape winders doorkeepers, carriage starters drink mixers, and many other sorts of modern inconveniences. Not only Paris, but Lon don, Rome, Brussels, Haparanda, Huloch and Hobo ken overflow with them. Why not demobze these swarns of unwearied Wies and compel them to do something that needs to be done?

The Exoneration of Deeds

The "exoneration" of Colonel Deeds accused in he report and findings of Charles E. Hughes of seri 5us msdeeds in connection with aircraft construction octrays brush marks either indicating an unskilful job of whtewashing awkward tools. No other outcome though, expected Immediately rpon the submission of the report it coverty attacked both by the department and by the office the attorney general of the United States, notwithstand ing it framed after most searching inquiry by the most famous investigator in the country.
 It will be observed that in the "exoneration' of Colonel Deeds there is admission of the truth of the report of Mr. Hughes No statement is denied But the eXoneration bristles with explanations one of the most remarkable of which is that Colonel Deeds fired by patriotism and exalted by patriotic enthu siasm, intent he that he neglected his own business and forgot to turn the stock he owned in those corporations which favored with air craft contracts under his direction.
 Some allowance should be made for so single minded a patriot that if his single -mndedness could be satisfactorily established But that can be done only by the unsupported statement the patriot himself We do not that he has made such a statement; far know it is only a fancy of Mr. BaHer's that Colonel Deeds was that remarkable kind of a patriot
 As to the charge that Colonel Deeds had falsely represented the progress being made by the aircraft
 
 he ever saw that paragraph for which he was held responsible But that is what trials by court-martia by other courts 1vr-to resolve doubts so that it would seem that in the the charges against Deeds, the department, which only doubt his guilt should let the matter go a court martial as was suggested by Mr. Hughes.
 Concerning the accusation that Deeds had given out confidential information, that is admitted It is said eXplanatorily that he practced deceit but with good and patriotic intentions "to aid the government 10 expedite it's program of aircraft production That Was admitted by the "exonerators" to be foolish and provocative of criticism but much of it unjust criti- cism
 it is found by the department that whatever Deeds might have d,ne. he had intent of wrong doing Intent is proved in only of two ways-either by the admission of the accused by his The IS dircumstantal evidence It must be concluded from whit he has done that he is guilty or innocent The hhgs which Mir Hughes believed pointed the guilt ol Deeds do not impress Mr. Baker
 We think tho public would rather accept the in- dclnenl of d skilled investigator than the evidently Troeonceived verdict of Mr. Baker without any inves- tigation whatever

This Is Needed

There should be in the legislature not the slightest hesitation regarding the amendment to the consttu- ion proposed in a bill introduced into the house yes -orday by Speaker Peterson. It looks to the most highly efficient school system, and, as one of the means to that end proposes to take the direction of oir educational institutions out of politics. We have setn within year the evil of mixing politics oh educational affairs. The wreclling of both the Northern Arizona Normal and the University threatened and feared
 our educational boards, those in charge of the maj schools and the board of regents were carefully hand-pclled as to the majority, least, with refer enco to their excessive loyalty the appointing power and with no reference at all to their fitness to the good of the institutions. They expected to be only party or factonaI henchmen, and we have seen how they performed their parts henchmcn
 Such an educational board as the proposed amend ment contemplates would result the saving hundreds of thousands of dollars to the taxpayers by avoiding many of the useless appropriations now made It has been the practice in the past for the 1oads of the institutions backed by the boards whose uembers are local to institutions, grab all they old and by system of log-rolling, participated in by members of the legislature those in which the institutions situated, they have gen eyally succeeded in getting all they had the nerve %ask for.
 The amendment would leave to the board. com roscd d dsnterested members four of them familiar with school work and the other three men of high stdnd1g in other walks of lite the business of making up an estimate of the needs of the insttu- tions Every feature of the measure is a good, rotmatory and constructive one, and especially that ,ne providing that the superintendent of education should receive his appointment by the board

 Issue is Ecorcmic Liberty
 Other autocracies have before this made claim to efficiency which could not stand the test of competition with freedom and democracy. The pyramid | ing net profits towering into many millions, and the silent, unceasinS ex- tension of power into new fields here and abroad, are the answer to adver- tisements showing the packers rolling dollars to the farmers. whose average net return does not equal the wages Of the mechanic. Figures showing small profit per dollar of sales or per pound of product are what we have right to expect and demand in an industry handling as valuable material with as rapid a turnover and with as little alteration by manufacture as are meats and other basic foods.
 But the issue is not one of eff ciency. The issue before the jury of the country is Of economic liberty in America. IL has been conclusively es-
 tablished-indeed it can fairly be said to be admitted-that combination in restraint of trade has existed between
 the big packers In a statement is
 sued by Swift and company on August IS, 1918, it is said "The beef pools that is,- the arrangements whereby
 the quantity of. beef that could be shipped by each packer to various large eastern markets-were discon- tinued in 1902" The federal trade
 commission has found that in spite of changes in form, a combination far more reaching and effective still exists. The question is whether and in whai manner effective competition can be
 restored in an industry in which a community of financial interests has | once established a substantial control,
 or whether practical monopoly must be
 recognized and it's operations and prof | it's be regulated in the public interest. ] What laws shall be passed and what | measures shall be taken upon either | hypothesis or upon any intermediate | one? In particular, can we have eff l fective competition or effective regu- 1 lation and control if the marketing agencies of transportation and distrib-
 ution, live stock and refrigerated cars, 1 stockyards and refrigerated terminals and storage facilities, remain in the
 hands of those who already dominate
 the marketing of live stock and of
 meats in interstate commerce? Should
 not at least the specially constructed
 and equipped transportation and ter minal facilities essential to interstate commerce in live stock and meats or | other food products be furnished by or | in conjunction with the railroads to all shippers on equal terms, so that undue advantage over existing or potential
