war that the trend of women toward
masculine attire and masculine habits
would show marked reaction the mo-
ment war was over; and that women.
reacquiring taste for frills and furbe-
lows, would become more feminine"

There is some slight hint of the fulfill

allegation that tennis is a great breeder

to the elements, moreover, are blamed for
hard lines and rough skin.

WATCHFUlLY WAITING

THE American people are practicins
orthodox Wilsonian doctrine in watch
fully waiting for an explanation that will
clear up the hubbub and doubt over the
Shsntung clause in the treaty.
They are waiting with patience and re-
straint.
But back of this attitude is a stern
resolve to insist upon the facts, full, free
and open.
Personal persuasion of particular Re-
publican senators in the seclusion of the
White House will not suffice if those
senators, like Mr.. McCumber, after their
visit, feel that their lips are sealed.
While this method may enlghten the
senators and win them over to approval
of the presently obnoxious clause, it will
not satisfy public opinion, which, there
is every reason to believe, is deeply
stirred by the apparent Inconsistency be-
tween the Presidents profession of prin-
ciples and the performance of the Allies
in this instance.
There is hope in the intmations of
Senator Colt, who said after he saw
the President, that the Shantung matter
"could be made much clearer than it
appears" and that there was a possibility
the President might make statement"
to the Senate.
That is what the people desire and
demand, and the Senate is recreant to its
representative duty when it fails to take
immediate advantage of Mr.. Wilson's
offer to appear for questioning.
The subject is too dangerous for triAing
either in the form of bombastic and jingo-
istic speeches in the Senate or urbanities
behind closed doors in the White House
For utter and severe condemnation of
the Shantung clause, it is only necessary
to quote the Presidents fine speeches on
numerous occasions since the first week
in April, 1917, but judgment must be re-
served until the President has been heard
in justification. That justification he
must make, after the revelations of this
week, or be content to see the section
adjudged out of his own mouth.

CTAY of execution of sentence upon the

The Superior Court has now denied the

But an appeal has been taken to the

BEER IN THE COURTS

TUDGE DICKINSON, in refusing to
= issue a ruling which would either
guarantee brewers and saloonkeepers
against prosecution for violation of the
wartime "dry" law or strengthen the
radical minority among prohibitionists,
seems to have shared the mood of count
less Americans who are viewing the beer
fight in Congress and throughout the
country with disgust for the lawlessness
manifested on one side and the hysteria
and ineptitude upon the other.
Congress wishes to prohibit the sale of
intoxicants. 1t has refused to define the
thing which it has declared illegal. A
federal judge is under no compulsion to
act as mind reader or to make decisions
which Congress has not the courage to
make.

Why do special plead
Aliens Must Speak ers always ignore es-
Our Language sential facts? There
is, for example, the
man who spoke in the Baptist Temple against
compulsory study of the English language
by aliens He remarked that Prussia had
tried compulsory German in Poland and
Austria had tried 1t in Bohemia and both
had failed. Does he not know that they
failed because alien governments were try
ing to force an alien language upon native

teaching of English TO Poles in American
schools is not on all fours with the teaching
of German to Poles in Polish schools. A
moments thought will show the radical diff
ference. Polish is the language of Poland,
and man who wants to live there must
speak it. English is the language Of Amer
lea. and the man who comes here from abroad
is handicapped unless he is able to speak
English. The state does a service to the
foreigner when it requires him to learn the
language of the country.
