he brings the distressing information
that the First Chief feels his honor is
drawn in question and that he is hurt
and grieved. Senor Carranza finds it
comports with his honor to confscate
the property of Americans who were
cajoled into making investments there on
express agreements that their defined
rights should be respected; but to be
left out-tilis is an intolerable affront.
Sacre!
The fifteenth point might we'll have
been the one declaring that no country
should complain when the complainer did
in principle what it found fault with
in another. This power to see ourselves
as others see us, as one Burns remarked,
would rid us of many foolish notion.
The American who can see why America
occupies a special position in regard to
some questions and can't see that any
other country should be given preference
as to other questions has an imagination
active in but one lobe of his brain.

Discomaging Crime

Mayor Hylan's suggestion that the
newspapers discourage crime by not re-
porting successful burglaries and hold
ups was excellent, but he has not yet
taken the next step. If crime is in
creased by propaganda which presents
New York as a Beulah land, may it not
be decreased by contrary propaganda?
We hope his honor will enlist the news
papers in a vigorous campaign to dis
courage the influx of criminals.
It should not be difficult The Mayors
committee on public information-we
trust it's creation will not be long de-
layed-should send to all yeggs in the
country full reports of our heat waves,
including a complete list of prostrations.
Daily comment also might be sent out
on the overcrowded condition of hotels,
the subway stress, high rents and the
weakness of the Yankees in right field.
This general propaganda should go to
all undesirables who have not yet come
to New York.
lneTe also mlgnC De more SpeClallzeN
publicity. Thus, there might be warn
ing to safe robbers of the likelihood of
a cracksmans having his pockets picked
while on his way home from hard
nights work in the greater city. Like
wise, pickpockets might be informed Of
the precarious condition of all savings
in New York owing to the prevalence Of
safe robbers. Perhaps as climax might
come the announcement that no criminal
can remain outside the clutches of the
New York police force for long, with
accompanying figures of the daily ar
rests for failure to keep the tail lights
aglow, heedlessness Of traffic signals
and neglect of DINNERS.

Disgusting Carranza!

- Just when the executive officers at
washington are developing a holy zeal
''or such propositions as that Japan must
not have special position in China, or
Italy on the Adriatic lttoral, or Greece
in Asia Minor, along comes Carranza to
compei them TO avow that the United
States must continue to claim special
position in Mexico. 1t is most disgust
q ing.
. The latest unwelcome reminder Is
Agnilar. son-in-law Of the First Chief.
Who mas appeared in Washington to say
"he does not understand why Mexico has
not been invited TO become member Of
the league Of nations; that he is told tho
reason for the sxcla9on was this coun-
txy's veto. and how about 1t? Moreover.

Potash

Before the Ways and Means Commit
tee witnesses say it costs IS a unit to
produce potash in this country, whereas
it can be imported from Germany or
from the soon -to-be French mines of AL
SAGE for $3.50. Protection to equalize
the difference is asked--said to be indis-
pensable if an industry in which $780,
100000 has been invested is to survive
and to attract new capital.
The question Of what is to be done with
respect to the potash infant raises many
old issues. Which should be the first
consideration-to establish basic new
industry for the benefit of the future or
allow our present farmers and truck
raisers to get fertilizer where they can
buy it the cheapest? At the interroga-
tory brain cells that have not functioned
for long time stir into action. Many
"reminiscences come.
Whether or not the infant is to be pro-
tected probably depends on the evidence
of the prospect for it growing to self
sustaining manhood. If there is prom
ise of this, if America can be insured
against finding herself again without an
indispensable article, doubtless the agri-
cultural interests and consumers of food
will be willing to pay more. On the
other hand, if it shall appear that high
priced fertilizer will permanently battle
us in international competition, strong
will be the demand to purchase potash
where it can be obtained at the lowest
price.
The witnesses shed no light on this
question. All they did was to lift up the
familiar cry that il the protection asked
was not accorded they would be ruined.

New York's Example

Governor Smith again has shown
his alertness and good sense in prompt
ly calling a special session of the Legis-
lature to ratify the suffrage amend
nent. His action sets an example which
other states should be quick to follow.
Meantime attention centres on Penn
sylvania, where the Legislature still is
in session, with but a few days remain
ing before adjournment 1t is to be
hoped that the issue will be brought up
there promptly and vote obtained. To
delay consideration now will postpone a
decision until 1921, unless a special ses-
sion is called. The sentiment of Penn
sylvania can hardly be doubted. At the
first referendum, four years ago, suf-
frage came within 10000 votes of adop-
ton. Pennsylvania has now the oppor-
tunity to be the first Eastern state to
ratify this great reform, and no eleventh.
hour congestion Of legislation should be
permitted to obstruct vote.
The swing of the country is unmis-
taxable. Sentiment seldom has gathered
in such overwhelming force for any
change of such Importance. Ratification
by the states is grave constitutional
duty calling for the best judgment of
our state legislatures. They are en-
titled to be heard, and heard promptly,
on this measure affecting the rights of
one-half of our population and the well
fare of the entire nation.

>HE notion that there should be a M.

With few exceptions this is not to be found

lowing one, for instance, from a recent Bit

friend Of ours used to choose books of
orthodox theology and turn to the chapters
on eternal punishment whenever the weather
grew unduly warm. We cannot recommend
the plan, because we happen to know that
he caught severe cold last August whila

Our summer suggestions, with few excep-
tions, would be books which stimulate
thought. This is much the easiest of Ill
forms of hot weather exercise. An exhaus-
tive study of back newspaper files will reveal
the fact that heat prostraton is unknown
among chess players.
Accordingly, if we were asked to recon-
mend six recent books to vacationists W
would suggest Theodore Dreisers Twelve
Men,; "The Undying Fire" by H. G. Wells;
Whi:lock's "Belgium"; Reading the Bible"
by William Lyon Phelps; Merrick's "Conrad
In Quest of His Youth" new at least IN
edition., and possibly Gerald Cumberands
"Set Down In Malice" Of these only the
Merrick novel is light beyond question and
it is recommended not on that account, but
rather because the book is fresh and joyful
and imaginative, which are by no means tho
usual characteristics of light fiction or sum

F Federations and Teachers
From The Qopeka State Journnn

Fron. The Topeka State JournaD
Time was when it seemed incredible that
school teachers would ever find it neces-
sary to organize in order to obtain fair
pay and fair working conditions, but when
the teachers of some cities discovered that
the garbage collectors, aided by labor
union affiliations, were getting better
wages than the teachers and were in line
to obtain more favorable pension con-
sidcration than teachers could hope for, the
teachers began to see the necessity for
organization. They discovered, at length,
says "The Christian Science Monitor"
what the entire social body, usually re-
ferred to as "the middle class" is begin
ming to find out, that in highly organized
world he is a rare individual indeed who
can hope to get his rights unless by Joint
action with others situated and equipped
like himself.

unphant.

The death of John C. Spooner, for
three terms a Senator of the United
States from Wisconsin, removes a man
who was long recognized as one of the
ablest public servants of America. A
constitutional lawyer of high attain
ments, a man of wide experience in af-
fairs, who united the culture of the
schools to Western energy and practi-
cality, he placed all he had at the dis
posal of his country. He was rich in
mind, and even richer in character, and
his services in the Senate leave a great
legacy.

The Prussian Way

AS is generally known, since last Mo-
vember the Germans have developed an
extremely keen sense of the sanctity of
international agreements. There is no
end of their complaining that the peace
treaty violates the fourteen points of
President Wilson, on the basis of which
the armistice was concluded. The follow
ing editorial utterance of the Tdgkche
Rundschau of Berlin is, therefore, doubly
welcome as an indication of how the Ger
mans, purified by defeat and suffering,
conceive the, to them, formerly so un-
usual achievement of living up to an
obligation:
According to the Wilsonian peace
programme, those regions of our eastern
marches which had an indubitably Polish
population we're to be ceded to Poland.
BY our acceptance of the fourteen points
we undertook to comply with this condi-
ton, and this we could readily do, be-
cause there are no parts of Prussia with
indubitaby Polish population"
This may not be straight thinking, but
it is certainly plain speaking. Also, if
this be the way to fulfil treaty, it looks
almost honorable to break it. One shud-
ders to think what Interpretation the
Germans, had they the chance, would
have put on the Wilson;an clause about
the freedom of the seas, for instance.
Out of his own mouth we learn about
the modesty and good faith of the Prus-
sian in defeat. 1t is, indeed, benign
Providence that has spared the world
the experience of Prussian morality tri-
umphant.

Mr.. Taft complains rather testify (the
weather makes campaigning temper
wearing on even men of small avoirdu-
pois) that his opponents use antithetical
arguments-one element declaring there
must be no oligarchy Of nations and an
other offering suggestions that if there
is no oligarchy the league is toothless" "
And, not to be outdone, Mr.. Taft parades
the antithesis that the league does not
impair national sovereignty and that it
is necessary to impair national sover-
eighty if there is to be any organization
for peace maintenance.

The Jonkheer Hohenzollern, who is
spending some time at Wieringen, Hol-
land, while his wife sues for divorce,
predicts another war in ten years. His
former Highness ought to know-he is
specialist in war launching. But per-
haps he does not know for the same rea-
son that he could not see that the war
he fostered could not succeed. His mind
is attuned to a kind of political leader
ship which is gone, we may hope, forever.

1t is astonishing that the puritanical
have not crusaded against daylight saving.
Under daylight saving, golf and tennis are
games for bachelors. No wife, if she be
the cook, wants to wait until 8 o'clock for
dinner; and no other cook will. Marital
felicity and daylight saving are incongru
GUS. Why, then, says the bachelor, get
married?
