An so we have another prophetic
star from the political heavens. This
is the fellow who declares that the
way to dispose of labor strikes is to
appoint commission. Strikes are
barberous; they are not far removed
from savagery and the cure he has
discovered is commission or bu-
reau to look after them. How in the
world have we ever got thru without
this wonderful genius. Too bad he has
never popped up before. These Con-
gressmen will newer be happy till
they get everybody on the Govern
ment pay roll. They are too busy
holding receptions to attend to the
strikes. So let us have commission
and the strike trouble will be for
ever settled. Little bright eyes
is ever on the job. After we have accu-
mulated few more councils, commits
sions, and long-table smokers and the
many other government accessories
suggested by bright thinkers, and
when they have hawked all the mon
ey they can with taxes and drives
and sundry national promotion
schemes, maybe somebody will wake
up with a new light shining thru
the broken window. He will no
doubt see one of these bright minds
and level his political gun at him.

Some time since Mayor Pittman
had an interview with one of the
Board of Railroad Commissioners con-
concerning the depot in Union City,
with the result that the matter
would have his earliest attention. The
article from the Commercial
Appeal in another column
shows that the interview is
bringing results and perhaps in the
near future some more substantial
evidences of the long delayed con-
struction work on the union station
in Union City.

/ am sure that Sentaor Lodge
would rather discredit President Will
son than to see the progress of events
which must inevitably follow the
success of the allied armies of Eng
land, France, Italy, Belgium and
America. Senator Lodge is a his
torian and a national figure in poll
tics, but a narrow partisan, his
highest ambition the success of his
party and, If possible, chance to
aspire for the first place in the gift
of the people-the Presidency. Like
every small exponent of public opin-
ion we have our notions of things,
and, whether it is presumption or
not, we believe the day is just be-
fore us when international politics
cannot be overlooked. We have al
ready aligned our interests with
those of the enlightened nations of
the world. We cannot cut loose
from that union, no matter how much
Lodge, Reed, Shields and others may
proclaim it. This nation has extend
ed its hands across the ocean and will
not draw them back. We have linked
ourselves in fraternal and political
friendship with Europe with the
back of these hands turned to aris-
tocracy and bolshevism, the two ex-
tremes which have no relation to
democracy. There is but one de-
mocracy. The Democracy which
would close its doors to its

There will never be such a thing

Wanted slogan of democracy "A gov
