ARTICLE X FOR TIE LAST TIME

THE high contracting parties shall
undertake to respect and preserve as
against external aggression the ter
ritorial integrity and existing political
independence of all the states mem
bers of the league. In case of any
such aggression or in case of any
threat or danger of such aggression
the executive council shall advise up
on the means by which the obligation
shall be fulfilled"
The three principal objections to
| Article X are: "a 1t binds us to enter
wars in distant parts of the world in
which We have no interest (2) 1t
binds us not to help out by force of
arms any revolution, no matter how
just it is, and even to attack any ma
ton that does try 10 help out in this
way. (S) 1t commits us to the status
quo as settled by the peace confer
ence; status which is likely to be
unjust even now and which is sure
to be unjust sooner or later in the
future, as conditions change
The answer to the first and second
objections is that If two or three OF
the principal nations, say United
states, England and France so into
/ this thing with the real intention of
keeping it, the other nations will fall
INTO line ana no -Nne nation VIII dare
| to break the covenant.
AS for helping out just revolutions,
we've got to do 1t in some other way
| than by force of arms. The public
| opinion of the governing countries
must be brought around to the neces-
| sity of doing justice both to their de-
Tendencies and to the minority popu-
| lations within their boundaries.
The same remarks apply to preserv--
| ing the boundary lines. We are re-,
serving to ourselves the right of dis.
cussion, which includes the right of,
| investigation.
But will the right of discussion be-
sufficient? Well. we can try it, II
is going to be just as easy to amend
this covenant as 1t is to make 1t in
the first place. And If 1t dneSsiili-yy
work we can amend z. y
II We had that Article X before this

war, Germany would never have dared
to- start it. II she had known in ad-
vance that England and the United
States would come into it. there
wouldn't have been any war. That's
pretty strong argument in favor of
Article X.
And IL the covenant leaves some
thing to be desired in the way of Sc
curing justice for those who want to
be free and who are wronged by a
majority population, the way to do
is not to leave out Article X but to
put in some other article In the COW
enant.
l believe a special conference called
for 1922 and for every ten years
thereafter to consider boundary dis
putes and the rights of oppressed
peoples would be good feature. But
II isn't necessary. Sufficient provi-
sion is already made in the covenant.
The upshot of 1t all is that Article
J. is not dangerous. 1t makes agree
nlents that We ought to make, that We
FAUST make If we really intend peace
And while it may seem to bind us
ITO the status quo, it really binds us
only to preserve 1t as against external
aggression. We may hope to change
the status quo by other methods, as
time proves these changes necessary
! or advisable. We can rely somewhat
\ upon the wisdom of the future.

of depression are sure to come. The
recovery from the war will take a
long time. The present period should
be regarded as a harvest time that
will not last indefinitely.
Now is the chance to set aside a

1t is very easy for young people to
get into the habit of costly amuse-
ments. Many of these young folks are
spending dollars the way their parents
spent nickels. Simpler pleasures give
as much satisfaction. They are more
developing, since they lead people to
depend on their own wit and ingenu-
ity instead of hiring costly service.
The best form of enjoyment is that in
which one develops some form of

Fang himself in the inexpensive game

his money out on costly automobile
trips is adding nothing to his life

France is to hold the mineralized
Saar valley of Germany, only by an
other way around than by the annex
alton route, according to a press dis
patch published Thursday, French
control for fifteen years is to prevail
and then the inhabitants may vote
whether the valley shall be French
territory. The valley is peopled now
by Germans, but French forces will
probably crowd out the German pop
ulation from the coveted country in
less than fifteen years. That plan is
the one Germany lately asked to have
followed with reference to the future
ownership of Alsace-L Lorraine. of
which France was robbed.

HOW CHOSEN.

Dona Ana county's republican or
ganization has recommended for road
superintendent Francis Lester, to
whom more than any other citizen
that county owes the agitation that
secured excellent paved highways.
Many other road superintendent
have been appointed upon recon-
mendation of local people and organ
izations competent to decide upon
qualifications. If any unfit be Sc
lected it is the inalienable right of
the people who pay the taxes to pro-
test and show the governor. OPPOSE
ton. because of superintendent's
politics is hardly worth while. Neither
would 1t be were the shoe on the
other foot, over at Santa Fe.

If five great business corporations
became involved in destructive
struggle that cost five million lives,
destroyed a hundred billions of prop
erty, and created as much more bond
ed Indebtedness for future generations
to pay. we would all say business was
a failure. Yet that is what pater-
nalistic and socialistic governments
of Europe have done. And there are
those who want to saddle upon our
country an ever-increasing load of
governmentally- owned, or managed,
industries and political paternalism.

GREAT STILL.

President Lowell of Harvard uni
Lodge on the league of nations, in
referring to Washington's Farewell
Address: at was a great document
in its day. and so were the Ten Com
mandments."
Can the distinguished collegian Of
Harvard or the former president of
Princeton write anything as great?
Would the Harvard educator have
the world wipe out the Address ana
replace it kith the Fourteen Points?
Germany now SAYS that the Fourteen
Points must be the only law and the
gospel under which she will take Up
the burden brought upon herself
Or would DR.. Lowell have the Ten
Commandments considered as only
good in its day"
The wild murderous reds who rule
and ruin several unhappy countries
just now are setting aside the Ten
Commandments
OF DR.. Lowells scornful or frivolous
fling the Baltimore Manufacturer
Record says;
When the world banishes the Ten
Commandments it will have banished
all morality, all that makes life
worth living. and it will justly have
brought down upon itself such con-
demnation by the Almighty that if 1t
should be blotted out of existence it
would get only its just punishment
President Lowell made a monumental
blunder. He insulted God Himself as
well as the audience which had a
right to expect something better of
him. This nation cannot afford to
follow such leadership unless it wants
to get on the toboggan slide to He'll or

AN OPEN QUESTION.

Tho Arizona Labor Journal may DE
several laps behind the procession III
printing old stuff to the effect lilat
railway owners are demanding return
of their properties by the government
Much less talk of that sort is heard
since the federal administration au-
mitted that it fell behind $20O,ooo,ooo'
or half a million daily, in costs OF OPP
Grafton. including interest guaranteed
TO owners.
Practically all of the increased rev.
enue assessed upon the public by an
increase of 25 per cent on freight
rates by the federal administration
has been absorbed by increased wages
allowed railway workers. Because OF
the use of that additional revenue Tor
compensation of labor, much OF when
at least needed better pay, the publc
has borne the additional burden with
comparatively little protest.
But the announcement that the
government had not made good IN
maintaining the roads from proceeds,
and must issue 5000, 900, 600 of inter
est-bearing bonds to pay losses. Jolted
the country. But it also Jared stock
holders in the railways.
With prospect that the government
would not allow railways to increase
freight rates after return, and that
organizations will never permit re-
duction of present wages, the pros
pect became less inviting to owners
Interest now received promptly
with no chance of, loss IS doubtless
quite factor in silenc!ng owners.
They can very we'll desist from de-
manding and hoping for return OF the
railways, under losing conditions.
When the statutory limit for release
Of the lines expires, it will not be sur
prisng if owners head the movement
to have the government purchase the
railways and give interest bearing
bonds therefor, yielding the rate of
compensation now paid by the gov
eminent.
In England, also, losses on railways
operated by the government are now
tremendous 49, $1,250,000 per day.
When the time for which interest was
guaranteed to the railways expires in
England, 100 per cent increase in
freight rates will be necessary to pay
running expense and provide profit
equal to four per cent interest now
paid
English authorities say that owners
bankrupt, Improbable lines. In lieu
of that the government will purchase,
and not daring to lower wages or raise
freight rates. will operate the roads
at constant loss without reduction of
charges against the public.
The Arizona paper goes far from
the facts when it asserts Uncle Sam
built the railroads in the first place
with loans, land grants and conce3-
sions."
True, some lines were so aided, but
the number was small. The majority,
and all constructed in the last few
decades, depended upon private CAPT
tai alone. The investors put their
funds into these railway enterprises
with full confidence in the good faith
of the government in permitting man
agement by owners, without coercion
or confiscation.
But like other people who own
property, many very probably are
quite willing to part with it for a
guaranteed sum and interest.

CHARGE YOUTH
WITH ROBBERY
Woodbridge Lad Held in Con-
nection With BurgIaries in
This City

Joseph s. Karmonski, eighteen
years old, of Woodbridge, was appre-
hended by the Woodbridge police yes
terday M brought to this city last
night by Detective Sergeant Lawrence
A. Long to answer charges of burg
larry. The local police, together with
Detective Sergeant John A. Huff, who
were working on the case, are certain
that the youth is the thief who twice
broke into the store of Deiehes &
Abrahamer 400 state street and they
believe he Is connected with some of
the other robberies which have been
staged in this city.
Karmonski, when arrested, was at
tired IN a u of clothes aud an over
coat which were identified as those
stolen from the State street store.
The youth is charged with having en-
tered the store on New Years night,
securing for himself an entire outfit,
with the exception of an ovcrcoat,
and then returning two nights later
and picking out a Goa that appealed
to him.
The police have found tina Kar-
| monski has served q term in the re-
formatory and that he was arrested
once before in this city. On the night
Of December 8 he was picked up by
Detectives William Hartmann and Jo-
| seph Gutowski on suspicion. He was
held, but as he could not be directly
/. connected with any of the 'jobs'
about the city, he was released. He
