New York, Wall Street, Jan. g.
The selling of the shipping shares
on a report of hitch in the Mer-
camille Marine deal caused unregu-

ceeded the losses. Marine preferred

Grieved Over Loss Of Quentin

New York, Jan, Gone thing
that contributed more possibly than
anything else to the death Of Col.
onel Roosevelt was the recent death
of his son 1t. Quentin Roosevelt, the
aviator who was killed by fall dur
ing the war in France. While Col.
Roosevelt tried to bear the death
of his boy with the usual fortitude
that characterized him during his
public career, this blow seemed tc
stagger him more than any other
and he endeavored to find solace in
pursuing his work to a greater de-
gree than ever before.

that we will use our riches and our power fr all sor's VI

starts a row in Europe or in Asia?
We r. great regulators and having regulated ourselves
into a form of autocracy, we may undertake to regulate every
thing and everybody else i'm the world, but are we not DOund

There are some Americans left, and let us be thankful
for them who still refuse to believe in making the onted
States of America the Don Quixote among nations, or the
"Meddlesome Matty," as the late Colonel Roosevelt put 1t into
palmer language. Because we happen to have a president
who is deeply tainted with international socialism is no rea-
son why we should all faint ourselves with that or make IL
our boast that we follow where we are led, even if it is across
"the bridge of asses"
No objection has ever been raised to Mr.. Wilson pledg1ng
himself to any course or policy that may attract him, Dut
when he would pledge the rest of us, and our children and
our children's children, most of us feel we should at least be
consulted.

MEN AND THE LAND

The reports from the government and other sources
show that in the midwest there are more jobs than men, at
least on the farms. But it is not because the men are lack.
ing, it seems, but because the men prefer to stay in the cities
Just as the Tribune and others predicted, the men, after
their experiences in the world war, are not disposed to re-
turn at once to the quiet of rural surroundings The glare
|of the cities has more attractions for them. But in the very
nature of things the country, however well disposed it may
be toward them cannot provide city jobs for all men. There
must be some who are willing to labor on the lands, and I'M
less enough are willing to do SO the world will have to re-
main on starvation rations.
But things will right themselves, let us have no fears
about that. Men will tire of hanging around the cities look
ing for jobs, or those who have jobs in shops and factories
will sooner or later long for the out of doors which is 80
|abundantly provided on the farms. The land has a lure OF
its own, and sooner or later it will become strong enough
to draw men toward it again. All that men have to do is
to come to their right relations in life to realize that of ali
places the country is still the place for living the surest
kind of a life.

THAT ARTICLE TEN

The much discussed Article X of the league Of ma
lions as we were asked to approve n, begins as follows:
The high contracting parties undertake to respect and
preserve against outside aggression the territorial integrity
the league" fm
Thet leaves no doubt as to what is meant 1t is one
part of the document that is not in the least vague. Elihu
Root proposed that to these words there be added, for a
period of five years." that is, until stabilized. Just What
would be required of the "high contracting parties" in case
some one should try to break away from its present moor
ings is implied, if not openly stated. 1t would be the duty
of each of them to help see to it that those who would as
sert their territorial freedom do not obtain that to which
they aspired. Egypt, for instance, would not be permitted
to break away from its British mOorings If its people SO
desired. as the American colonies once did. So with other
units of other empires.

PROTECTION WANTED IN CANADA

Up in Canada there is a tariff propaganda under way.
There are many there who believe that protection, as We
have always called it in this country, is an essential Of ma
tional prosperity, and those who believe in that way are
willing to spend money advertising their views. In one OF
the Canadian advertisements along such lines we find lib
eral quotations made from the writings of Abraham Lin
coin, among other things this declaration of the great
martyr president:
1.-THE abandonment of the protective policy by the Amer
lean government must result in the increase Of both useless
labor and ideness. and 81 in proportion must produce want
and ruin among vi people,"
Lincoln is presented in these Canadian advertisements
as a man "who was raised on a farm and had a deep sym
pathy with farmers" These things are reminiscent OF
things that used to be uttered in American politics, and who
shall say that they will not again be uttered here at home

NEW ORGANIZATIONS IN ENGLAND

In Great Britain the mania for organizing is sweeping all
classes. 1t is now proposed to organize what they call a
middle class union" to be composed of all those who labor
with their brains or "pens." Why do they not include type
writer's? All these middle class men and women are to
stand together and we trust that the standing will be good
and that there will be room for them. Even the most august
dukes, of whom there are about a score and a half in the
tight little island, are talking of organizing a ducal union to
protect them in their ancient rights. When all the classes
have been organized, what are they going to do about it and
with themselves? Are they going to fight the others while
protecting themselves? If that is to be the case England
may have a repetition of the war of the Roses-civil wars
that were bloody in the extreme.

Egypt, we take il, has been trying to break away from
British control. Under the league of nations as proposed, we
would have to send men over there and also money to help
keep Egypt in line, provided England could not DO 1t alone,
for Jointly we are to guarantee the territorial integrity OF all
the nations of the league. Elihu Root proposed that we
place a five-year limit on that proposition, that after five
years the nations must maintain their own territorial integ-
This is not a bad amendment. After that league con-
stitution has been enough amended it may bear some SEM
blance to Americas common sense.

Senator Borah thinks that if the Russians have discov-
cred, as they believe, a new and valuable idea, they ought
to be permitted to try it out on themselves, but not on 9th
ers. That suggestion is not made amiss. 1t might be a val
liable lesson to the rest of the world, to see to what ends
Russia would be carried with these new ideas. The world
might as well be disillusioned one time as another and un-
ill the disiIlusionment comes the dreamers will go on dream
ing.

If you will let the average bunch of reformers alone
long enough they will fall to quarreling over the spons.
That is what they have started out to do in North Dakota. It
is nonsense to suppose that any number of men for any
of time will submit themselves to the dictations of a
gang of manipulatOrs who are looking out for themselves,
however hard they may talk about the grievances and the
rights of others.

COUNTRY VS.. CITY

Some towns are resisting the daylight saving laws of
the land. At Mendon, Illinois, it was voted not to put the
clocks ahead, but those in the railroad offices and in the
postoffice were advanced. The farmers in some places are
bitterly opposed to the innovation, and at Mendon the town
people sided with the farmers. The farmers are opposed
to the new time because they prefer to have the hour TO?
work in the latter part of the day rather than in the earlier
part The hour after six o'clock is to them more desirable
than the hour before seven in the morning, when the dews
are on the grass and the wheat and the corn. The farmers
side of the controversy is not without merit.

This is the year when the first flight across the Atlantic

AS SEES US

American supporters of The league of nations charter
as it is now drafted = have been busy spreading ue i-
preston in the United States that the document as IL now
exists is regarded abroad as something OF a sacred 'dDe'
which must not be criticized or amended. Ii Will therefore
be a surprise to the American people to find that a maJorty
of the newspapers of England, France and Italy nave opehi!
advocated free discussion of and amendments to the char-
fer since the text was made public. The London Times OF
February Is, for instance, said:
people are already cridcizng the covenant and we hope
they will continue to do o, for on criticism depend both pub
lie interest in the project and its efficient working"
The Times is Lord Northcliffs most influential newspa-
per and Northcliff and his newspapers placed LOyd-ueorge
in position of leadership and sustained him there.
On February 26 the Times, in its comment on Pfesideh'
Wilson'S Boston speech, points out that curiously enough the
term league of nations" was not uttered by Mr. wilson III
that famous address, and then continues:
There are controversies o n which we cannot Win pro-
priety at present express opinions, W if W had fuller Ia
...s TO rorm them than we possess. They are primarily
questions of American domestic politics, though they are at the
= same time, of great moment to the rest of the world. We
have no doubt that they and all other points arising from the
presidents scheme will be threshed out upon both sides with
thoroughness and vigor. He has thrown down the glove. His
opponents must take it up, and the American people will de-
eide the ISSUE"
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1919-04-12

Here is a sane, judicial summing up of the situation, and
il differs widely from the sentimental gush being poured
forth so freely by The presidents partisan supporters on THIS
side of the Atlantic. Members of the administration even
hint that those who oppose the adoption OF some OF the sec
tons of the league covenant, as it was presented, are al
most guilty of sedition"
So important a document as a charter for a league of
nations, a document designed to safeguard justice and peace
in the world, must be fully discussed and thoroughly under
stood by all nations involved before it is adopted. The at
tempt which partisan parrots were making to rally support to
the charter as it stood on the ground of personal loyalty to
the president was petty, scandalOus and a thing extremely
dangerous for the United States of America.
Public discussion is doing its work. Let ii go on. II the
league is a good thing we want it. But the place where
that discussion should have conferred was in the United States
senate, among those elected by the people to pass upon 1t
and who must pass upon it before it can be of any force.

From one district in the Caucasus there came recently
the news that there is not a "dog, cat, horse, camel or any
living thing left" That shows what war can do for coun-
tries that are not in even the immediate war zone. And
yet all the pan-German writers before they foisted the great
war on the world wrote continually about the glory of the
war and over the moral duty of nations to make war, lest
they lapse into decay. In those days of Germany war was
preached as the maker of nations, that is nations like Ger
many, no matter what might happen to the "lesser breeds
as they viewed them, in the processes of making Germany
great. a
