UNIONIZING THE MIDDLE
CLASS.

A throb of sympathy stirs the sal
aried people of this country at the
news that the English middle class
has unionized in elf-defence. Salar-
led people everywhere are tired Of
working at q dead level while labor,
capital and prices all pass them, each
waving its banner with the strange
device, EXCELSIOR
Still, they really have only them
selves to blame. Their condition
arises from their failure to use for
their own benefit and that Of others q
great power which they already pos
sess-tfe power Of clear, unbiased
thought. For who are the middle
classes-these sa!aried people? They
are the thinkers of the world. The
clerks, the doctors the lawyers, the
teachers. the preachers. the great
mass of educated people. They have
been reared to read, to think, trained
in faithfulness to duty and IDEAS.
Having neither the selfish fears Of
capital nor the long bitterness of Ia
Dor, they sh Wild be free from the
,prcjudices passions of either.
And there are millions Of them.
This great body trained to thought
and speech is better equipped than
any other to mold public opinion and
direct public affairs, and always has
heer. But it has been asleep. In its
sudden awakening to power is danger
not only for itself, for all society.
For this cool, clear-thinking middle
c!ass is the central balance which
uphoids the see-saw Of the world. It
must hold the world steady if it IS to
be held at all.
# instead OF subverting their pow
s.: to selfish personal ends, these
,nidd!e-class folk will use it as it
can be used, to force a proper adjust
.:aent Of the affairs of all classes. all
will be we'll. Otherwise we shall al

NEW VOLUNTEER ARMY.

With something like 100000
troops still in Europe, the United
States is planning to raise and send
over volunteer army.
It nay look strange. but it is The
natural and reasonable thing 70 40
The men now in the service nearly

period of the war. Accordingly it IS
incumbent on the war department to-
muster them out when the way isl

PEACE CONFERENCE FRICTION.

Every little while there come from,
Paris alarming reports Of differences
developing in the Peace Conference.
Recently it has been the dissatisfac-
ton of the italian delegation over the
new boundaries prescribed for Ital:
and resentment Of Japan over the
race question. Before that there
were disputes about the League OF
Nations. about war indemnities and
many other things France has been
reported several times as highly in
dignant over something or otile:.
The American delegation at one time
protested against unfair treatment.
Nearly every nation represented has
seemed, at some time, in a mood to
throw a monkey wrench into the
peace machinery
And in spite of all this. The work
OF the Conference has gone ahead
steadily, continuously, and one might
almost say, smoothly. During appar-
ent deadlocks in special matters The
other matters moved right along.
Even these partial deadlocks, so far,
have never lasted long.
It is possible that there has been
mere smoke than fire. Either the
correspondents, at times, have exag-
gerated the friction, or else the de!e-
gases hare had an unexampled gift
Tor composing their differences. The
latter is probably the truth.
Edouard de Billy, French high com
missioner in this; country hit the nail
%en the head the other day when be
warned America MS not to be unduiH
iafuenced by rumors Of troubles IL
tie Paris negotiations. Differences,
he reminded as. are inevitable whera
SO many nations and so many con-
si..tc.ing interests are represented.
But he insisted that the differences
appearing SO far at Paris had been
only the resulerof an honest effort 20
sessaplish truth and justice.
Ccr,SRly the spirit of compromise
and cooperation at Paris has been
much more inapresssiixe than the sp;r-
it OF quarrel ami self-seeking. Those
nany-languaged representatives OF
fourteen different nations, seeking to
settle the most complex OF an wars
and to establish the whole world S
future, have got along, on the whole,
more amicabiy and made more rapid
progress than any United States con-
gress Of recent memory.
