ARTICLE Y AGAIN.

England always seems to be on the
right side of Ireland. On the map.
Nations are sometimes pretty mean
to their dependencies. In our own
history there was little unpleasant
ness when George the Third was king
And since then we haven't been de-
tendency. France helped out in that
case,
Spain was pretty mean to Cuba.
The United States helped Cuba out.
Much as we admire England, we
don't feel that her treatment of Ire
land has been creditable. If ireland
revolts fromEngland. and France
helps Ireland, do you think the whole
world ought to attack France? Read
Article X.
The high contracting parties shall
undertake to respect and preserve as
against external aggression the terri
torial integrity and existing political
independence of all states members
IF the league" Well the British
empire is to be a member of the
league, and Ireland is part of the en-
pire, Do we wish TO fight to pre-
serve the territorial integrity of the
British empire in all cases?
Article X doesn't hold out much
HOpe lOT TeNOlullOllS'
But read Article XI, ut is hereby
declared and agreed to be the friendly
right of each of the high contracting
parties to draw the attention of the
body of delegates or of the executive
council to any circumstance affecting
international intercourse which threat
ems to disturb international peace or
the good understanding between ma
yxyt ~, dc
Here is Article XXIV ut shall be
the right of the body of delegates
from time to time to advise the re-
consideration by states members of
the league or treaties which have be-
come inapplicable and of international
conditions of which the continuance
may endanger the peace of the
world"
Those seem to be pretty good points,
1t is not straining the meaning of
Article XI to say that the situation
between England and ireland threat
ems to disturb International peace.
Suppose we used our friendly right"
and brought the matter up in the
body of delegates.
According to the old ideas of ma
tional honor, England could not for Il
moment consent to the right of other
nations to discuss her affairs. But we
are getting away from those old ideas.
To use the usual illustration. when a
man has fire in his back yard which
is likely to spread to the neighboring
lots. the neighbors have an interest
in the fire And it isn't unreasonable
for them to exercise the friendly right
of discussing the fire and how best
to deal with it.
If it seems to the nations that the
best way to attend to the fire IN Ire
land is to grant Ireland Independence,
they have a right to say so. OF course
England wouldn't have to accent their
suggestions. but the public opinion of
the world definitely expressed would

CLEMENCEAU AND ROOSEVELT.


"Clemeneeau shifts in the presiden-
tial chair, now right and now left,
throwing bits of his own interpreta-
ton to Wilson or Lloyd George in adj
vance Of the official translator. He
corrects, he emphasizes, he underlines
the interpreter with emphatic nod, or
takes exception with a flourish of his
graygloved hands or a swift uplift
of the white scythe of his mustache.
Ellis eyes scour the room to study
effects. He is continually signaling to
the secretaries behind him for orders,
memoranda, messages to be delivered.
The obvious parallel is with our own
man of energy whom we have lost so
recently and without whom it is SO
hard, three thousand mikes away, to
think of America.
ION his feet Clemenceau is less dy-
mamie in action than Roosevelt, The
voice indicates his age, though it does
not quite reveal it. His utterance is
softer than his words. His manner
Is colloquial. but his message bites.
He does not thunder, he Arends."

Director Hines saw railway service

learned in other days. He has notified

where he can at the lowest prices.

board which seeks to prevent COM
petitive generalization when there is
surplus produced on war orders.
Price-fiXing, Hines holds. is con-
trary to the antitrust law. And, any
way, he says, the railway losses under
the government make it necessary to
avoid eXtravagant prices for material.
He wishes to do business in the right
way.

Communications

Editor Morning Journal:
An advertisement in the Morning
Journal of April Sth interested me
very much-the advertisement of the
First National bank giving notice that
none of the officials or directors of
the bank were interested in any oil
stocks or oil company promotions.
Their decision to advertise this fact
is commendable. The oil fever which
is raging in Texas is working this
way, alluring advertisements are ap-
pearing, dividends are promised even
before drilling begins. and we are
asked to believe that fortune surely
awaits those who buy to limited
extent stock in these promotions.
The last or highest member of a
rhetorical climax is reached when we
read: Liberty bonds accepted at
par" during the time these bonds
may be obtained on a discountable
basis of from four to six per cent.
Where is the Federal Trade COM
mission? Possibly busy harrassing
legitimate business.

BACHELOR GIRL REFLECTIONS
BY HELEN ROWLAND.

A man may possess all the seven
deadly sins, yet if he possess the one
supreme virtue of loyalty any woman
who loves him enough can make an
archangel out of him.
A clever wife spends half her time
in stimulating her husbands vanity
and the other half in reducing the
fever, so that it won't 90 to his head
and make him wonder why he wasted
himself on her.
Alas in order to see man in hia
most interesting colors a woman has
to scrape off such lot of superfluous
whitewashing. a.
The man who sits idly back and
waits for Divinity to shape his ends
may find that the Arch-enemy has
taken over the contract.
At this time of year it is so difficult
to tell whether love is merely an ex-
aggerated form of curiosity or a
moonlight effect.

Clarence Mackay, recent head and
principal owner of the Postal tele-
graph. seized by the postmaster gen.
eral at the end of last July, says
if Burleson will at once return the
lines, the twenty per cent increase in
rates made this month will at once be
Cancelled. The company had not con-
tempIated increasing rates. In the
six months following seizure last July
the net earnings at former rates
amounted to double the allowance
Burleson gives the owners for a full
year.
This record was made with the
company's own staff in charge for the
government, while MaeKay was still
serving as government director of his
own property. His removal did not
occur until recently, and followed his
protest against seizure of the company
cables.
The motive for the latter seizure

George Creel press agent of the ad-
ministraton, keep a tight rein on the

allowed to go to Paris and come from

the purpose.
The increased twenty per cent takes
from the public. who use the wires,
| $16, 100000 per year on the estimated
| $50, 5000 annual business.
| MacKay asserts that his company
could have continued business at old
rates and without loss of profits. In
fact the Postal would have made in a
year 100000 more for its owners
than Burleson allots to them. The
company profits for the first year, to
the end of next July, under govern
ment control, will apparently be 3d.
! $50, 900, without the twenty per cent
increase. But Burleson applies ST.
! 000,0 of the Postal profits to make
Up for losses on operation of the
Western Union system. and also has
to raise from patrons $l6,O00,O00
more for the same reason or because
the allotment to the Western Union
is excessive.
Thus, says MacKay, patrons are
made to pay $16.OOO,OOO more per
they did under rates at which the
companies were profiting amply, be-
fore Burleson butted in.

ON the DAYS News.n

The Most Rev. Alexander Christie,
who today completes his twentieth
year as archbishop of Oregon, is one
of the oldest members of the Roman
Catholic hierarchy in the United
States in point of service. A native
of Vermont, he was educated for the
church at the Grand Seminary in
Montreal, and was ordained to the
priesthood in 1877. During his early
career he SERVED as pastor of church
es in Minneapolis and other Minne-
sofa cities. In 1898 he was conse-
Grated bishop of Vancouver Island,
B. c., and on April II. 1899, he was
promoted to the archiepiscopal see of
oregon. Besides being an able admin
istrator Archbishop Christie has a
wide reputation for his learning. He
is regarded as an authority on canon
law and his advice has often been
sought by the other clergy

STILL LOSING.

Is the worst yet to come? The
governments net operating income for
railways in February has just been
announced as little over 100000, 900.
This was the lowest in years and ST.
$4,000 below the income of Febru-
airy, 1918.
The month last year was an especial
ly difficult one for operation.
That the administration is anxious
to pass the roads back to owners is
not surprising. That owners getting
guaranteed interest are not seeking
possession is not strange.
