SOWING THE SEED EARLY.

Insidious and far reaching is the work of those who would undermine and bring down to destruction the government of the United States un- der whose liberal provisions to freedom of speech and freedom of ac- ton of the individual they drive their nefarious plots with an immunity that they could experience nowhere else. Investigations made by the Lusk committee in New York of the activities of anarchists. Boishey- ists, Industrial Workers of the World and other radicals show that they neglect no age in which to spread the poison of their doctrines.

Please do not select things that are so ve- nomous as to antagonize at the outset. It goes beyond saying that in a pri- vate school the boys come mostly from capitalistic homes.

HURLEY SEES ENOUGH,

After his experience as chairman of the shipping board. Mir Hurley may Fessona ply be expected to qualify as an expert when he speaks of eonvic- lions grounded upon that experience.
 In view of his coming retirement from the board. MT. Hurley was ask ed what had impressed him the most. His answer was that he had seen enough of government ownership and operation and that it was ineTitab able That it could not have tfe efficiency of private management True it was that there were responses to special appeal. but the relapse carried pre- Suction again below the standard of private ownership. With the respon- Eibility for costs loaded onto the gov ernment- tn" appetites of employers and emplo N Decame unsuitable and there was q constant demand for more and more.
 MT. Hurley sums it up as follows:
 For new shipyards we furnished the capital we guaranteed the wages, we provided the profits. What natural incentive was there to keep costs down? As we view the opposite con- ditions under which our industries have grown to their present vast ex- tent, how could we look for efficiency under such a system? And if we had government ownership over the coun- try, nationally. taking in all the pub lie utilities. the same results would follow. More. you wouldn't have out side Of the government owned plants that efficient competition which re- mains the life of trade.
 After thus emphasizing that which impressed him most. Mir. Hurley warns private enterprise that not only must it preserve it's efficiency, but be tfreless in it's efforts to improve upon existing methods. He protested that the workman who does not do a fair day's work is fair neither to himself the war has given a great setback to public ownership. he calls upon all concerned for the highest possible en- deavor. Nothing less will suffice.

HOPE FOR sUFFRAeisTs.

There is encouragement for the woman suffrage advocates in the re- suits obtained through a telegra phic inquiry sent out by Governor Bartlett of New Hampshire in an effort to find what the trend of opinion on the subject is.
 The New Hampshire governors telegram asked whether. if he called a special session Of the legislature, enough other governors would do likewise to make him feel that New Hampshire's effort would not be wasted.
 Seventeen governors have answered that they will call special sessions. provided enough others will do the same. while five states will have reg uiar sessions in time.
 Out of six others still to be heard from Idaho and Nevada are said to be fla vora pie. while there are possibilities in others, the governor concludes.
 With twelve states already having taken affirmative action. the governor finds that there is a total of thirty four which are either ''favora ble or hopeful; or at least possible" Having this in mind, it is his conclusion that the situation is one where it would seem to him that New Hampshire ought to Joln the movement
 In order to enact the federal woman suffrage amendment. the affirmative action of thirty six states is neces- sary. The twelve which already have taken such action are Massachusetts, New York. Pennsylvania. Arkansas, Texas, Ohio, Illinois. Michigan. Wis consin, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas; while three which rejected the amend ment are Georgia, Florida and New Mexico.

We have in certain New England mill towns the classic ex- ample of the other extreme, where no worker would dare join a union. God forbid that Bridgeport should become as either of them! For in Bridgeport as present we have the fair and mod crate program in which the right of workers to join together and bargain collectively is reasonably recognized and provided for, side by side with the recognition of the inborn right of every free American to work where he chooses, how he chooses, and to join or abstain from joining the un- ion as he sees fit.-Bridgeport Post.

TREATIES WITHIN THE LEAGUE


 The more we hear of special trea- ties to be negotiated between powers already signatories to the League oi Nations the more the impression is forced upon us that these signator- ies can have no abiding faith in the league as working possibility for the peace of. the world. ~
 Before the senate now for consid eration is the special treaty with France by which the United States engages to go at once to that. coun- try's aid in the event of unprovoked aggression against her by Germany. At the same time it is considered nee essary that there should be a special treaty between England and France in which England ''consents'' to assist France under similar circumstances.
 Now it appears also that Italy feels the need of a closer alliance with France for which Premier Nftti of Italy is making a special appeal to the French people.
 The intent of all is the same. the adequate protection of the French republic, against whom it is recog- nized the full weight and hate of Ger many would be flung in case that country were ever in a position gain to challenge the world.
 m Ihe1r purpose trance with the assurance that she shall not be left. alone to face German aggres- sion all nations seem agreed and sure ly the United States should be the last to deny her that comforting guarantee
 But with the league of nations her aided as the long sought instrument to bring peace to the world. is it not an evidence of doubt that such will really be accomplished through the league, when treaties within the treaty are demanded? Does this not lead to the conclusion that France and Italy,, at least, recognize it as a Utopian dream. and put more faith in a practical working plan through spe cia1 treaties.
 Grand and glorious as the concern ton of the league is. does not this demand for special treaties indicate that some of it's members have come to realize with Premier Cfemenceau that the existing com ation of all lied and associated powers was enough for all purposes? From this might at length be evolved the ul timate realization of what all the world wants, freedom from devastat- ing wars. =,~

The historic drama enacted in Scapa Flow. when, by the hands of their own crews, the once mighty German high sea fleet went to the bottom, will remain imperishable memory to those who saw it, says the London Daily Mail.
 The boats which pushed from the sinking ships were loaded to the wa ter's edge with men and baggage Most of the German sailors had their best suits and were spruce and span as if dressed up for a fete.
 A most commanding figure was an officer with the Iron Cross prominent on his left breast and his field glasses slung over his shoulder. Every now and again he would unsling his glass es, level them az his own sinking ship, close them with a decisive snap, and resume his ceremonial parade. This officer was fluent English speaker and acted as interpreter to convey the orders of the British naval authori- ties to his companions.
 Judging by the amount of baggage they brought along, the Germans must have mistaken ths British for furniture removers on a large scale Bottles of brandy and various other spirits were plentiful, and these were at once thrown overheard by the searchers.

Fifty thousand dollars worth of

were arrested in Chicago and three
in New Haven, Conn. Other arrests,
it is stated, will be made.
Detectives, who assisted in unrav-
cling the details of the murder, as
sert that there no longer is honesty
among thieves. According to, their
story Binkowitz planned the robbery
with band of thugs and ex-convicts
and slipped away to Milford, Conn,
where he remained in "hiding."
Binkowitz's accomplices sent five

and the bonds to New Haven. These
men killed Binkowitz and stole the

LONDON, Eng.-Change of senti-
ment in England, France and Bel
gium, the nations responsible for the
clause of the treaty with Germany
demanding the trial of the ex-kaiser,
may result in that clause never be-
ing made effective.
"Hang the war profteer," has be-
come a cry much nearer the heart of
the people of Europe than the old
one: "Hang the kaiser" There is no
question about the general belief of
the former kaiser's blood-guiltiness
or his meriting any punishment that
can be inflicted but, after exhaustive
research, all the inter-allied legal tai
emit assembled in Paris has been I'M
able to discover any legal means Of
getting William Hohenzollern to the
bar of justice.
Holland has intimated that she can
surrender the ex-kaiser only on proof
of an extraditable offense, which Eu-
ropean lawyers have been unable to
formulate. Holland, however, has in
formed the European allies that she
probably would be doing them real
service to refuse to give him up, be-
cause his trial would involve them in
a hopeless tangle, with dangerous
to themselves.
Trial Surely Is Far OFF.
Should the trial be staged, proba-
bly, in England, there is every indi-
cation that it could not be called be-
fore a lapse of Is months after the

respecting their personal communica-
tions he could not well be refused.
