criminate, as regards one race against
another. This has been the ruling
sentiment of America, since the Civil
War, and it is said that negroes in
America stand on an equal footing
with whites. Why do Americans en-
tertain deep racial hatred against
Asiatics? If Americans are able TO
be impartial toward the negroes

discriminate against the Asiatc
peoples, who have pretty good cvili-

The truth is, however, that though
Americans speak of no racial discrim-
ination, they are not able to carry their
ideal into effect completely Negroes
are legally on the level with whites,
but in practice the former are being

Reminiscent

There IS something decidedly ia
miliar about that paragraph. 1t reads
like reprint from American papers
in the days before this country went
dry. Even more familiar is the song
of the secretary Of the Brewers AS
sociation:
"Opposition in plenty is expected by
the prohibitionists. They recall the
scenes that were witnessed IN recent
years when radical changes in the
licensing laws were proposed. Now it
is assumed that in the counter cam
paign the liquor trade will take an
active part. But the secretary of the
Brewers Society said yesterday that
he considered it unlikely that it would
be necessary to organize any opposi-
ton. No worse time, from the tee
total point of view, could have been
chosen. 1T would be unwisc,' he said,
to underestimate the effort which is
about to be made to induce this coun-
try to vote for prohibition. Yet. as
far as can be seen. at no previous
time has the popular feeling against
1t been more pronounced, as will at
once become unpleasantly clear to any
speakers who organize an open meet
ing. 1t is not practical politics, and if
Mr.. 'Pussyfoot' Johnson foods the coun-
try with posters, cinema and other
pictures and speakers and tries to
adopt every possible means Of 'un-
derground' influence, and goes on do
ing it, as he has said he is ready to
do for years, he won't meet with much
success. He might as we'll attempt
to get the Frenchman to vote for a
wineless France"

consequence.
Rumania is reported to be about to
withdraw her army from Hungary

"%HE old legal maxim to the
effect that he who seeks
equity must come into court
with clean hands has a
parallel in international justice.
American prejudice, particularly on
the Pacific coast, against the Japa-
nese, gives the Japanese press ample
ground for commenting on the racial
troubles at our own door. The
following excerpts from japanese
newspapers throw light on Oriental
opinion:
Asahi (Osaka):
Al FIRST the negroes merely threw
stones, but they eventually came to
make oopholes in the walls of their
houses to shoot through. This shows
the great determination of the negroes,
and also leads to the assumption that
there must be deep seated causes for
the present trouble. What an irony
that such disturbances should have
occurred in the capital Of America, the
protagonist of the league Of nationsi
Most of the American papers fear that
if all the negroes, who amount to over
10 per cent. Of the whole population
Of America, should rise In revolt, the
consequence will ba very serious.
Apprehension alone, however, does not
suffice to remedy the situation. Is it
not most urgently necessary to rectify
the arrogant attitude of the whites
toward not only the black but other
colored races?

~ ENEVA, to be the capital
r of the league Of nations, is
~ described in communica-
ton by Ralph A. Graves to
tho National Geographic Society as
follows:
Seated serenely on both banks of
the River Rhone where it leaves the
Impid waters of Lake Geneva as a
placid stream, in contrast to the
muddy turbulence Of its ingress at
the other end Of the lake, Geneva is
not the metropolis of the miniature
republic Of Switzerland, for Zurich
surpasses it in population by so per
cent and Berne is the capital. But
It is doubtful whether before the
world war any other city of it's size
was visited annually by as many
tourists, for it was the main gateway
into the world famous playground
Of Europe.
Although its recorded history
goes back beyond the Christian era.
:, the time when julius Caesar, in his
commentaries on his first expedition
into Gaul, mentions it as strong
hold Of the Allobroges, its growth
has beer phenomenal only in its
leisureliness. To-day, after twenty
centuries, it has less than one-third
the population Of the century-old
capital of the United States.
"The city enjoys the distinction of
being the birthplace of the Interna-
tional Red Cross, but also has some
dark chapters in its past-the re-
hgious excesses of the Reformation,
when the prosecuted became the per-
ecutors.
Rousseau, of whom Napoleon
said, Without him France would not
have had her revolution and the
patriot Bonivard, whose trials Byron
immortalized as the Prisoner of Chill
lon, were Genevans. Farel, the Billy
Sunday Of his day, who could not
be made to iesist from preaching,
even though the women of his con-
sresation dragged him up and down
the aises Of the church by his beard,
made the lake city his headquarters
during his ascendency. And John
Calvin, who found Geneva bear
garden and left it d dociie scnoo!
Of plety, was virtual dictator here
for quarter Of a century.
New-York tribune., 1919-09-21

Washington the ill-treatment of
negroes by American soldiers raised a
question in the French Chamber Of
Deputies, which has passed a unani-
nous resolution urging the equality Of
the treatment of all races. We can
not but be sympathetic toward this
resolution, at time when the United
States Senate has been indulging in
scnseless twaddle with regard to the
affairs Of another country. The ques-
tion of racial equality. originally ad-
vocated by Japan, is to be brought for
ward at the first meeting of the league
of nations, to be held in America in
October. The racial riots in Washing
ton and the French resolution must
be a great warming to America.

CAMPBELL NAMES NORMAL MEMBERS
CReview Phoenix Bureau

PHOENIX, Ariz-. Jan. 15.-To fill the vacancies created by the retire ment of two members, Governor Campbell has appointed M. J. Powers and J. c. Dolan, both of Flagstaff, to positions on the board of education of the Northern Arizona Normal school. They succeed E. T. McGonigal and E. Hash.
 This institution has just been desig mated as one of the Arizona points where disabled soldiers and sailors will receive appropriate training under the provisions of the Smith-Sears act. There is possibility, however. that the number of disabled men from this state is so small that they may later be sent to the adjoining states of Cali fOrnia and Texas tO complete their re- education.
 Any number of new occupations are open to the unfortunate military from the baby state. Included in the list to which they are eligible is law, teach ing. engineering, mining, medicine. professional agriculture, forestry. farm management, bookkeeping. dairying, gardening horticulture. telegraphy. salesmanship, stenOtype, and account ing. In addition there will be a wide choice in trade and industrial fields such as metal working, wood working. building, electrical and automo0i.e trades together with many of the spe- cialized branches such as wireless ope- ration, autOgenus and electric welding.

Alleged to have had mania for passing bogus checks. the proceeds of which he used to fatten his pay as a butcher. insurance agent, and news paper man. Edward H. Thorn was taken into custody here on descrip- tion forwarded from Mesa by Dep uty Sheriff J. K. Joy. In charge of Deputy Sheriff O. l.. Pickens of Mesa, the man left here last night for Mari cOpa county to face between fifteen and twenty charges of issuing bogus checks in Mesa, Phoenix and Tucson.
 Thorn was said by Mir. Pickens to have been employed in several butcher shops in Phoenix and Mesa and while there to have issued bogus checks aggnsgating a considerable amount, after being warned that his bank ae- count was overdrawn. Even then he might have gotten away with it. had he been content to draw only on the bank in which he had made deposits. but unfortunately for him. he switched banks several times. The last check he was known to have passed was in Tucson.
 Thorn was found working in a local butcher shop by Deputy Joy. who took him into custody and wired Deputy Pickens to come on.

BETS CHAIRMAN
 OF COMMISSION
oReyiew Phoenix Bureau

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 15.-With the adoption of a resolution designed to establish a precedent in the matter of the succession of the presiding officer of the corporation commission, Com missioner A. A. Betts has automatical- ly been elected as chairman of that department. Mir. Betts is to enter upon his new duties at once and will serve for the calendar years of 1919 and 1920.
 On the part of the commissioners it was deemed advisable to devise some means by which each member would, during the course of his term of office, direct the deliberations of this body. An added advantage lies in the fact that the procedure outlined in the fol- lowing resolution will insure the guild ance of an experienced member at all times:
 "The members of this commission, having been elected by the sovereign vote of the state, and each member thereof having imposed upon him and having accepted equal duties and re- responsibilities and being thereby en- llieu lo dii pi tiS AibhtS anu bii'i leges by virtue thereof, it Is deemed appropriate that each member should be selected to preside over the delib- erations Of the commission for per iod of two years during his term: Tt is Therefore Resolved, That the commission adopt the practice of elect ing as chairman the member who is commencing the second two-year per iod of his term"
