portunity to explain the measure to
the House committee to which It had
been referred. But neither his meas
ure, nor his explanation of it, nor
both together, proved persuasive. The
committee was not impressed, and
turned the measure down. It was con-
sidered impossible. Since then the
House has passed railroad bill diff
fering radically from the Plumb bill,
while the bill the Senate will take up
upon reassembling next month differs
from both the House bill and the
Plumb bill.
But the condemnation of the meas
ure, be it understood, comes from
sfplain, common sense Americans" who
are gathered here from every state
in the Union. A few of them come
from the state of Illinois-Mr. Plumb's
state. Is it Mr.. Plumb's contention
that these men have lost their bal
ance since, and by reason of, coming
to the seat of government, where, in
their official character, they belong'
Talk like the Plumb talk is intended
to fatter those to whom it is address
ed. They are asked to believe that
they are lucky in living outside of
the haze that envelops this town, and
to thank their stars for the oppor-
tunity and privilege of looking at
public questions in "plain, common
sense" way.
The railroad question is by no
means a simple one. But, complicated
as it is, Congress will soon settle it,
and the properties, with such govern
mental supervision provided for as will
safeguard public interests, be returned
to their owners for operation.

matter Of concern to them as well a
the people Of Pennsylvania or Texas,
Florida or Oregon.
Good organization marks this drive
for association membership. It has
been arranged that the citizen signing
an application need not concern him
self about the boundaries of associa-
tions. A clearing committee will as
sign to their proper jurisdiction those
applications that are received in the
general roundup. All that is wanted
is signature and a dollar, and it will
then be for the new members to 60
to their meetings when notified and
do their best to make the association
actually the voice of Washington ex-
pressing the spirit of the capital city.

Dollar-a-Year Men.

President Wilson's dollar in pay
ment for his first years dues as a
member of the West End Citizens As
ISOLATION has been framed along with
his application, and is now on display
in the window of business establish
ment. 1t should be the means Of ar
resting the attention of thousands of
people in acquainting them with the
fact that membership in one of these
organizations is one of the cheapest
things a citizen can buy. For 81 a
manor a woman in those sections
where women are admitted-becomes
vested with the right to express him
self in those forums which are the
Washingtonians' only opportunity for
raising their voice effectively ON ques-
tons of moment.
Thus the ranks of the citizens as
sociations are open to all. Even in
these days of the high cost of living
every citizen can spare dollar for
this purpose. That dollar should be
considered as poll tax is viewed in
those more favored communities where
citizenship is expressed at the ballot
box.
There is a duty in this apart from
questions of local interest. Presi-
dent Wilson does not expect to take
part in the activities of the associa-
ton which he joined, that which en-
braces his residence. But he recog-
nizes that it is incumbent at this criti-
cal time upon every American to be
joined in some organization that makes
for cohesion and unity. The people
of Washington are American citizens,
even though they are deprived of
votes. and the national welfare ia a

Ellis Island Reds on Strike.

Certain undesirable citizens who are
accused Of anarchism and are held at
Ellis Island pending inquiry looking
to their deportation have gone on
strike. They have formed an "Ellis
Island soviet" and demanded the re-
moval of a screen barrier separating
them from their friends during visit
ing hours. This being denied, they
have refused to attend the hearings
in their own cases.
No better evidence could be given
OF the propriety and necessity of send
ing these people away from the coun-
try than this present attitude of de-
fianee and recalcitrance. They are
proving their own case against them
selves.
But deportation is not proceeding
with the speed that it is plain is nee
essary to clear the country of these
mischievous agitators. A congression-
al committee is now looking into the
matter at Ellis Island, but commit
tees do not always lead to prompt re-
suits, and the country has begun to
doubt whether there will be any early
considerable shipments away from the
United States. Furthermore, there is
some question in the public mind as
to the efficacy of deportation, and the
way back into the country through
Mexico is said to be open.
What these folks themselves call di-
rect action would be more effective
than simply sending them away after
long delay, only perhaps to return.
If the present laws do not permit
their prosecution for crimes the laws
should be promptly amended SO that
it will be possible for the government
to hale them to court, and upon con-
viction send them to prison for sedi-
tious activity.

The labor party has been launched.
It will hold a national convention
mex summer for the purpose of adopt

presidential ticket. 1t appeals for

may be said, since all the men and

Have the leaders in mind sticking it
out' or will they capitulate, and
throw their strength next year to
that one of the old parties which
shows the best disposition toward
them?
The bull moose party, it will be
remembered, met in national conven-
ton in 1916 ostensibly for making a
second effort to capture the presi-
dency and Congress. But it accom-
plished nothing. The reason appeared
in its failure to impress the country
with its claim of sincerity. All that
the country could, or would, see in
the meeting was an effort to induce
the republican party to accept Theo-
dore Roosevelt as its candidate for
President. The effort failed; and nine
tenths of the bull moosers drifted
back to the republican party,
whence they had come. Mr.. Roose-
welt himself was of the number. Then
the bull moose party faded away
went hence, and has been no more
known.

their nominations and proclaimed
their principles next year, will this
labor party fade away' or conduct

Thirty-odd years ago party calling
itself the populist party took the
field. Its strength was in the farming
sections, and grasshopper and drought
explained its existence. 1t was the
expression of an effort to raise the
price Of farm products by legislation.
In the west and northwest the re-
publicans suffered; in the south, the
democrats. But only for time, and
in a local way. Republicanism sur
vived populism in the west, and de-
mocracy survived it in the south.
Then, gradually, populism faded away.
Today it is but tender bucolic mem
DRY.
And yet, although failing to secure
and keep control of the country, pop
ulism was not without its influence
ON the old parties that put it down.
The republicanism of the west became
little tinctured with it, while the
democracy of both the west and the
south showed populistic streaks. The
democrats Of the east today regard
Mr.. Bryan as more populist than
democrat. 1t was ON that account
they cut him deeply in 1896, 1900 and
1908. But. as party movement, do
ing business in its own name, popu-
ism had NO message comparable in
interest to those of the organizations
1t was created to supplant. Death,
therefore, was its proper portion.

Plumb's Washington Experience.
A press report from Chicago saws:

A press report from Chicago says:
"Glenn E. Plumb was ecclesiastical
ly received today by the national
labor party convention when he pre-
sented his plan for the nationalist
ton of the railroads of the country.
When he appeared on the platform
several hundred delegates from rail
way labor organizations marched about
the hall shouting, I'VE want the Plumb

torney Plumb asserted that after
spending considerable time in Wash
lngton during the last two years it
felt good to talk to plain, common
sense Americans"
Yes, yes. This Is cold stuff''-famiI-
lar patter. 1t falls in with the humor
of persons who fail in their missions
to this town to hold the town respon-
sible, and upon returning home to
describe the atmosphere and general
tone here as un-American. One might
suppose Washington to be an unde-
sirable place of residence, where peo-
pie get out of touch with the conn

citizens. A sort of ring is drawn
around the capital, and outsiders are
warned to stay away. If they come,

Revolution Plotted in Event

(By william Cook.)

Versailles, June 9.-(By Telegraph
From N. Y. World, Copyrighted)-
Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau has
returned from Cologne, and with him
came Capt. Hinchlaw Cooke, the
British liaison officer, who had
charge of the German mission during
the journey.
At Cologne Brockdou8- -Rantzau
had long conference with Cardinal
Hartman regarding the formation of
the Rhenish republic. The German
minister met other officials in Co
logne and made a thorough inquiry
us to the manner in which the re-
public was proclaimed and its recep-
ton by the people there.
1t is considered probable that
Count Won Brockdorff- -Rantzau will
send the allies a final note on the
results of his inquiry, and this be-
fore he receives the allies ultimatum
regarding the signing of the treaty
He will also report Immediately TO
his chiefs in Berlin. The rumor Is
again current here that Matthias
Erzberger will be called upon by the
Berlin government to sign instead OF
RantZau.
Peace Celebrations Prepared.
Although opinion here Is divided
as to whether the Germans Will
sign, once the allies ultimatum is
handed to them nothing can dampen
the ardor, of those officials whose du-
ties call upon them to organize the
peace celebrations. Chief inspector
Oudailie, who is charged with the
safety OF the German delegates and
their staffs, has drawn up an elap-
crate program to celebrate the great
day.
The historic chateau is practically
ready for signing the treaty. The
big gates have received a new oat
of gilt and ratings have been IN
place for 7ome days, from behind
which the eager spectators Will
watch the arrival of the allied and
enemy delegates. The three main
roads leading from Paris in the
chateau have been repaired and
tarred, and by the middle OF the
week everything will be in readiness
for the eventful day.
Deep Purpose in Strike.
While the strike leaders in the
suburbs of Paris persist in. saying
the labor manifestations are Of a
corporate character, many belleVe
them to have a deep political pur-
pose, particularly as the time ap-
proaches for signing the peace treaty.
IL tire report which reached Paris
| from Switzerland is confirmed those
who believe the strikes are political
will have their fears justified.
Count Won :. Brockdorff- Rantzau's
.secretary, who recently arrived in
Switzerland, has had a long inter-
view with the British socialist, Ram
say Macdonald, and the French So
cialist of bolshevist tendencies, Jean
Longuet. The object of this inter-
view, it is reported, was to bring So
cialist pressure to Dear on the Ger
man government to persuade them
not to sign the treaty. On the day
the signature is refused, the report
adds, the purpose is to try to bring
about a revolution in all countries
