will hings more on the pro- or anti
Code sentiment than on political lines.
Every person is entitled to his or her
opinion with regard TO the beneficial
or harmful nature Of the Code. The
Code opponents are doubtless sincere
in their objections, and it must be ad-
.mitled that some strong arguments
have been advanced in support of the
demand for the repeal Of the new
school laws. The point that is deplor-
ed by the friends of the Code, however,
is the fact that such strong opposition
has developed in the law before it has
been given a fair trial. As we stated
before, the Code was prepared and en-
acted for one purpose only, and that
was to advance the educational stand
ard of this State to a higher plane OF

Conference, has put himself and them

Whether some OF us favor labor un-

THE PREAMBLE
tFrom the New York Trlbune.l

In the preamble to the ratifying
resolution as approved by the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations it is
provided that the reservations which
follow must be accepted by at least
three of the four principal Allied and
associated powers.
No objection will be made on this
side Of the wafer if there is formal fl
ing Of such acceptance But what is
the need of demanding this kind of ac-
ceptance? 1t is a familiar rule of the
law of contract that when one party,
before signature, appends a reservation
or a construction, and the other par
ties enter into the relations contem-
plated by the instrument. the reserva-
tion or construction concerning matters
whereof IL deals Is accepted. The act
implies assent This country, adhering
TO general conventions, has attached
thus silently accepted by
other powers.
The effect Of explicit and tacit ac-
ceptance being the same, the practical
question TO be considered is what form
OF acceptance is likely to prove the
more agreeable to proposed associates.
To put this question in the present in
stance is to answer it, II will scarcely
be challenged that it will be easier for
other powers TO accept by acts rather
than by words.
Motives Of pride often intervene to
prevent men or nations doing some
thing in a particular way which they
would do in another. Having made
our position clear, it seems polite TO
allow our associates a choice of method
of acceptance If the other powers wish
to say this country is welcome as a
member Of the league on the terms and
conditions it prescribes, Of course, no
harm will be done by the preamble, but
what may prove TO be an obstacle
seems unnecessarily injected.

SenfimenfaIify in Labor Disputes

York and Chicago

treated his weaker antagonist with in
consideration or contempt Public
opinion stepped in and took the side Of
the employe, aiding him to victory.
Now the employe wishes TO treat his
employer as he was once treated, not
realizing that such a course Of action
VIII inevitably turn public opinion from
sympathy TO avowed disapproyal. The
employe is In danger OF destroying one
Of the chief sources of his power and
Of turning his strongest ally into an
opponent.
1t would be unfortunate II public
opinion ever reached the stage where
IL always adjudged either side wholly
right or wholly wrong. The just atti-
tude for the public to take would be
TO recognize the fact that the relations
of employer and employe are very
much the same as the relations between
buyer and sLler. Each tries TO safe
guard his own interests and each some
times over reaches in trying TO get the
best Of a bargain. They are on the
same plane, contending in a wholly
unsentimental manner, not necessarily
for rights, but for advantages and
privileges Sometimes one is right,
sometimes the other: but It is seldom
correct to presume that either party to
a labor controversy is wholly right or
wholly wrong until the facts In the
Individual case are carefully studied and
accurately weighed.
The public should recognize the fact
that the cmploye is at least as well
equipped to get what he demands
as is his employer and 1t should
withhold sympathy from either side
in any specific dispute until it has
had full opportunity to compare the
merits OF the rival claims; il should
recognize the fact that the whole con-
troversy is nothing more nor less than
a business proposition, an effort at coll
lective bargaining in which as high
price as possible is sought Tor TABOR
that is already at a high premium
Above all, blind emotion should not be
allowed to displace reason. IL IS as an
surd, for instance, to become sentiment
tai over a demand for a twelve-dollar
day as it would be to weep when tue
corner grocer balks at a jobbers de-
mand for seventy per cent. profit on a
shipment Of potatoes.
In weighing the arguments Tor or
against any strike, consideration should
be given to general principles az well
as specific motives. Just now, 1t is al
most universally recognized that the one
great need OF the nation is production,
and more production. to make up for
the tremendous waste of war and cor
rect the unfavorable balance between
money and commodities, which is the
urinary cause OF the high cost of
living" If the urgency Of the need for
nroduction were realized by the senti-
mentalists, who approve OF trivial
strikes that make production impossi-
BILE public opinion would soon force
the strikers to defer their disputes until
the nation had recovered from the shock
of war

the same sordld motives that moved

But why should there be BolsheVism
in countries with better living condi-
tions2 There is the Scriptural parable
OF an evil man sowing tares IN an
others field while he slept. Repressed
at home, the MARKHAM seed, for Imperial
reasons, was scattered broadcast in
other lands. The poisonous fruit is
the same the world over, though IL
may differ in appearance. An interna-
tional socialism that will dominate in
dustry and take all power Into its au-

Manual workers are taught the world
over that capital is their arch-enemy,
and must be destroyed; that man is
valuable only from the chin down; that
the manual workers produce the
wealth, but capital takes all but
pittance from them. They are taught
that the government is capitals engine
Of oppression, and the workers enemy,
helping TO withhold from them what
is their own; that the manual workers
should take possession Of all Industry
because It is rightfully theirs. The
tares have not made such luxuriant
growth here because the great mass Of
workingmen are better educated than
others, and are loyal to their govern
ment. But there is an element whose
ignorance forms a fertile soil for the
seed.
Educated men, university graduates
are teaching Bolshevism here. Even
