a reproach to old age.-Aristotle.
D"THROWING ON DOG,

A resident of New York City reaching home
recently found platoons OF policemen IN the
PENNSYLVANIA railway station and long lines OF
soldiers in the streets outside standing stiff as
ra1nrods for what seemed to be great occasion.
He was told how he could get out by side
door, skirt the soldiers on duty and get away to
his home but curious as to what the denonstra-
ton was for he found on inquiry that Baker
was coming This information left him puz-
zled for he knew, as he explains, that the noted
Home run Baker, was somewhere out in the
west adding new luster to his reputation. But
further inquiries drew out the fact that the
platoons in blue and the regiments in khaki
were there in honor Of Secretary Baker, of the
war department who was coming to town.
This iolted the citizen into thoughtfulness,
as he admits, and he could not help realizing
that he now knew where some Of the money
went which officials ministers, actors, moving
picture artists and all the rest Of us had been
ranting and champing to raise" An official of
the government was expected at the metropolis
and instead of taking a bus or taxi to his des-
t;nation unostentatiously, he must be received
with 'all the quality, pride, pomp and circum-
stance BETTING his position. In other words
as this dsgruntled citizen puts it, when this dis
tinguished parsonage arrives she must throw
on more dog"
This phrase may be a little mystifying to
readers who are not up In the colloquial, but it
probably may be understood as conveying an
idea which is the reverse Of Jeffersonian sim
plicity We speak with proper difidence upon
this matter but ''to throw ON dog" appears to
mean to splurge, to strut, to cut big figure,
to make a spectacular appearance, brave dis
play European notables have long delighted
in this. The kaiser was a poor master at it. He
''threw on dog habitually not only because
he liked to do it but as matter of policy to i'm

them feel what worms of the dust they were

TROUBLE IN THE FAMILY.

The president will find himself involved in
official family affairs Immediately upon his re-
turn to this country. There is trouble between
Secretary Glass and Secretary Redfeld whose
effort to come to the rescue of Mr.. Peek and his
price fxers proved futile. 1t is a matter OF
record that the president has had affairs IN his
lofficial family from the first Lindley Garrison,
flor instance. He was member of the family
who got impatient and told the truth so bluntly
THAT he had to leave home; to be sure he was
fright and what he proposed was done; only it
was done much later and much less efficiently
than Mr. Garrison would have done it. Memory
brings to light pictures of the little squabbles
lof Mr.. McAdoo and Dr. Garfield; of Mr.. Denman
and General Cocktails; of Mr. Piez and Mr..
Hurley And memory is never needed to recall
the fracases in which our Burleson has been a
party. Secretary Lansing has accepted clerical
duty with lofty serenity and patriotic quietude.
What Secretary Baker has accepted cannot be
stated here. Secretary Daniels has shown com
mon sense in stopping his idiosyncrasies and
listening to sound advice when something had
to be done. Secretary Lane, for whatever may
be the reason, seems to maintain an lndepend-
ence foreign to his fellows IN the cabinet. There
is plenty of reason to believe that the president
will have some family affairs on his hands when
he returns from abroad; perhaps he has them
on his hands even now.

An EntanaIino Alliance.

Washington Post: The mischief Of
the proposed league Of nations, aside
from the bitter establishment it III
bring to peace loving men every
where, Is in the fact that it entangles
the United States in Europe. The
allied nations of Europe are fully
justified in forming permanent
alliance. They must do SO, In fact,
whether they wish 1t or not. But the
United States should declare its SYM
patty with such an alliance, formed
for the purpose of Stacking the
Germans and maintaining free gov
eminent; but the United States
merely makes the situation worse
when It enters into European poli-
tics, takes sides in European
squabbles, sets itself UP as an arbiter
of European boundary and CONNER
ciaf disputes and invites disgust and
hatred by becoming busybody in
other nations affairs.

The Chinese.

Chicago Tribune: The Chinese are
reaping the harvest of their policy.
They have chosen to develop on their
own peculiar lines. They have made
IA religion of the past and challenged
the law of change They have be-
come great merchants and preferred
to trade for peace rather than fight
for it. The soldiers trade they have
soorned and the patriots duty of de-
fense A nation of 300,000,000, pos
sessing enormous latent resources.
they have preferred to rely for safety
upon the balance of other nations
forces. the conflict of other nations
wills, rather than upon their own
strength. Pacifists must admire this
policy, for it is virtually what they
recommended for us But the rest of
Us cannot have much respect for it or
much sympathy for the Chinese. They
have many good qualities, we recog-
nize, but they lack others we Instlnc-
lively honor and would keep alive in
ourselves. We do not want to rely
upon other peoples virtues or other
peoples weaknesses for our protec-
ton. We want to rely upon our Own
strength We are willing to pay the
price of independence. The Chinese
have not been.

We Should Haze Remained Away

Richard Washburn Child, in Col
Eer's: Out of the fog there emerge
two great lessons for Americans--for
us. They are spoken in Paris-under
the table
The first of these is that no matter
what the measure of Wilson's influ-
ence through the peace conference
will be, his influence and ours would
have been UNNECESSARILY greater and
our risk of appearing as preaching
creditor nation UNNECESSARILY less if
we had stayed away-ready to serve
as arbitrator, asking nothing, suggest
ing league of nations, If need be,
but not inviting resentment by forcing
upon the world the will of our repre-
sentatives at Paris. Having made our
belated war contribution generously
and as a people. in full measure OF
zeal, we could have retired We
would have had much greater use
fulncss as volunteer Judge, whose
judgements would surely have been
reQuisitioned, than as a party to the
adjustment. Some of us long ago
tried to say exactly that!
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1919-05-28

The second lesson for us, now being
realized in Paris, is that the world
cannot be remade on paper, as those
other nations associated with us knew
long ago. Geography and climate have
not made the peoples OF this earth OF
enc mold or one fitness. The laws OF
economics cannot be legislated.
Leagues hold together only by com
mon interests.
President Wilson has been great,
and a truly great, apostle of the rights
of mankind-of the benefits the indi-
yidual deserves from the state, of the
benefits one nation deserves from all.
But the world is needing badly a
man for a much more difficult and un-
popular and useful task. The peace
conference knows it. The world needs
an apostle of the obligations of man
kind-of the service the individual
must render the state, and the require
ment that each state must SO conduct
itself, by example rather than by
preaching. that it serves the cause OF
all states.
! thought then of Roosevelt.

IoWA'PREss COMMENT.

Waterloo Times-Tribune: If the Ger
are not They are preparing to pene-
have their big card ready to place on
the table. Gen. Foch is running back
and forth from Cologne, Coblenz,
Mayence, Strassburg. And it isn't a
bluff.
Cedar Falls Record: II the govern
ment was running ahead as far as 1t
is running behind with its railroad
management nobody would have TO
pay taxes.
Marshalltown Times Republican:
The argument now passes to the sem
ate. There also the decision rests.
The senate should assert its constitu-
tional rights.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: 1t is a good
thing to note that the women have the
vote for presidential electors in thirty
states now. They are surely entitled
to it, and they are entitled to it in the
other states, if they want it. And II
they want 1t there is never doubt
that they will get it soon
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: The re-
publicans in congress will not lack for
advice as TO the course they should
pursue-not If the members will read
the newspapers and listen to the com
Eiencement orators.
Davenport Times: Dispatches state
that the American troops will leave
Archangel, on their way home, inside
the next ten days-so it looks hope
full for letting the Russians fight it out
among themselves.
Humboldt Republican,. We said that
We wanted nothing out of this war,
and by gum we are going to get it.
Cedar Rapids Republican,: Ger
many can afford to pay because Ger
many thought it could afford to make
war. The question of ability is one
they ought to have asked before they
entered on their dastardly work in the
world war.

big safe since the war began. But still there is
enough of it over there and Secretary Baker,
who has lately returned, may have fallen into
the habit and brought it over with him. Per
haps America will get used to it and even come
to expect its high officials to throw on dog
whenever they appear in public. 1t is true that
our traditions are all against it and our great
est Americans never threw Oh as much dog
as they might. Really great men do not have
to, do not care to, and the very idea of it bores
them But the little men in great places, the
medocrities who have been lifted up SO high
and suddenly as to make them dizzy, the men
who are sometimes unkindly spoken of as two
spots'' or Jokes are always the ones who
quickly acquire the habit of throwing on
dog

of the thrush. OF course he did not
succeed, just as no painter has found
the pigments which will reproduce
the tints of sunset. Just at dawn
these days you will hear few bars
of bewildering melody from the
thrush and then he is off looking
after the building of that nest in the
brush. When that work is done the
morning concerts are longer. The
Democrat has heard the most cele-
brated singers of the last thirty years

for him, no blare of accomplishments

p. o. SPY SYSTEM.

Cedar Rapids Republican: The post.
master general, who is also called poll
teal master general, is constantly
getting into trouble. He is a misfit
tic such an extent that his own party
i or many of it's members, are hoping
/ that he may get out He belongs to
an ancient regime of Texas slave
! drivers and he is said to have made
his great fortune out of the employ
ment of negro convict labor. He acts
like an overbearing bully and in his
| control of the wire lines of the coun-
try he has done many things that
| seem like outraSes. Among these
outrages are the employment of spies
who report to him or to his under
strappers every employe who ex-
presses, or thinks anything that
savors of lack of loyalty to the domin-
eering head of the department. 1t is
a new use of the spy system in the
American government, thing that
VIC have never viewed with compla-
cency in this coultry. To surround
employees. with spies and secret whis-
perers is to subject Americans to
Ihumiliations that will become hard to
bear. The spy belongs to the old re-
gimes of cars and kaiscrs. and they
have no proper place in an American
republic. That Burleson has been en-
ploying such methods and that he has
been acting upon information so gath
ered seems to admit of little or no
doubt In this country officials should
be confronted with pulic evidence and
not disposed of on secret and often
undetermined devices. 1t it is to go on
the fellow who is the dirtiest informer
will be the preferred public servant,
an intolerable condition.

TODAY,S BIT OF VERSE

A vERNAL MORNING.
have in mind morn in May
Fit for a rhymer's holiday;
Al morning with no cloud to mar
A climbing hill slope or far,
One sweet with the alluring spell a.
or dawn distilled hydromel
Or, such a morn III take my scrie
And staff, and for companionsh1p
ri have a brook of friendly tone
Until l wish 10 be alone;
Yet solitude where may one find
When there Is company in the wind.
In the clear piping of the quail,
In whispering grass or galingaie,
or any living, growing thing,
In this serene high tide of spring!
Then latteriy path I'll choose
Still dedicated 10 the dews,
That CLINT on leaf and thin rush blade
Like tiny globules cut in jade.
And SO at las. for my reward,
I'll find strip Of sunny sward
Within a glade deep hidden wherC
boulder offers me chair;
And there I'll sit and wait for Pan,
With all his cloven-footed clan,
To come and laugh and shout and sing,
And dance about in ring.
Aye, there I'll rest, rover free,
And dream I'm back in Already.
