CHINA's SHREWDNESS

China has shamclcssiy gone back on Senator Hiram Johnson by signing the treaty with Austria and thus making her self eligible to membership in the league ot nations. Senator Johnson has seen in the league only the lock on the door that shut out China forever from the recovery of her old position in Shantmg. I've first rob China. " he said in the senate, "md enslaye 4OOOO,OO0 people, and at the very time of the wrong we underWnte the robbery and guarantee by our arms and money 1t shall never be mghted. This is the league of nations And this io the league of ma tions that China >ubocrbc> to voluntarily, by singing the Austrian treaty. The Chin csc are bright people, to tell the truth about them. They have managed their case with great shrcWdncss. By refusing to sign the German treaty they started backtire on Japan; and by signing the Austrian treaty they take out what insurance there is against complete loss.

WHY NOT NOW?

Since Nr. Will Hays assumed his posi- tion as tituIar head of the republican party machine he has not lacked in amazing ut terancos and naiyety of assertion, bland in its innocence and amusing in its conception of the crcduity of the American public But all his former efforts are made to look amatue1ish in the calcium light of his speech before the republican editors of the sovcrcign State of Illinois Friday night.
 The mastcrIy grasp of statcsmenship he showed there proves that he is wasting his atIents in his present small job. To him should be assigfcd the task of solving the problems now affecting the nations well fare. Equal justice to all should do it and that is his uotto It is a good one and has been that of the United States for more years than Mir. Hays numbers in his brief career.
 In the abstract it is a fine principle. But in attempted concrete applications of 1t differences sometimes arise, Every day industrial occurrences offer striking eN, ampIes. That which seems "eXact justice ' to the miners is considered rank injustice by the operators and vice versa, while what the government considers to be impartial judgment and ''eXact justice' for both of the disputants is berated by both as being "damphoolishness."
 "EXact Justice to all' is an excellent catch phrase for campaign purposes but in the application of it as a principle much dependens upon the view point. In fact there is so much that is unjust, so much that is wrong, so many conditions upset, i'll the world today that we have to worry along working for the greatest good to the greatest number, dealing out absolutely i'm partial justice according to human limita- tiOnS.
 The legislative program outlined by Mr. Hays in his speech is most interesting. A budget system he says will be enacted development of trade, improvement in the relations between capital and labor, the es tablishment of an adequate merchant marine and other things, all will be accom- plshed ''when the republican party as sumes control"
 Perhaps Chairman Hays, in his role as peacemaker between the warning IacJlOnS of the republican party, has not had time to get acquainted with the present align ment of congress. Some of his political friends should put him wise to the fact that the republican party is and has been since the beginning of the special session of con gress, in absolute control of all national legislative machinery. It has done none of those things which he says it will do. The house of representatives has passed bud get bill but even republican congressman admit that there is no chance of it's ever getting beyond the senate committee room. Our foreign trade is being developed by building tariff wall around the United States higher than even the most ardent

EDUCATIONAL AND DAILY NEEDS
(Kansas City Star.)


 Never have subjects been so we'll and taught in their respective classrooms; never has the trend of educa- tionaI thot been so progressive, so practical, so close to daily needs.'
 This declaration of hope, confidence and assurance is made in one of the latest books on education. Specializing the Three R R's," by Ruth May Weeks. Apparently it refers to the present time, and there is lit tie reason to doubt that this diagnosis is correct, 50 far as the trend of modern cdu- cational effort is concerned.
 The immense gulf that one time yaWn- ed between the school and the needs of daily life has been materially narrowed and filled in during recent years. There was a day when the connection between book knowledge and practical affairs was re- mote to the last degree, and the best that was, expected of education was "prepara- tion' f6r one of the three "lealncd' pro fessions, law, medicine or theology, or a of information that might serve the purpose of ornament on certain occa- siOns.
 Faint traces of this not very ancient idea of education still remain, but the ten dency in the last decade or so has been heavily in other directions. The vocational idea has flourished and there has come to be such a wide range of electives in high school and college instruction, and so large a variety of subjects for which credit has been given, that authorities have begun to fear that educational standards may suffer.
 The warning has been as much in order as the swing to an apparent extreme in been natural A Ph. D. who taught political science in one of the leading American uni versailles remarked not long ago that it did seem shame that the fellow who taught milking just across the quadrangle should be called "professOr, listed among the faculty members and generally regarded as an authority around the institution.
 That kind of situation is discouraging to the man who has unusual ability and ambition along with it. And, if possible, any process by which education would be ought to be avoided. There has been too much of this in America, es- pecially where graduates" 'diplomas, professors" and even ''doctorates," hay been rather promiscuously distributed among only the near wise and the educa- tionally half-baked.
 But bringing education to meet the daily needs of life does not necessarily in volve a cheapening process. It does mean, of course, that some of the dignity and the exclusiveness that always attaches to some thing that is held apart for the few will be lost, and that there will be a kind of level ing process. Leveling, however, is the order of the new day, and any social elevation that is not willing to bend bit to it's sur is likely to be bent rather fore ibly.
 It stands to the credit of many educa- tional authorities that the new demands O modern life have been sensed and that methods of instruction calculated to meet the calls of practical every day life have been advocated and to a reasonable extent introduced.
