Debate ON the Leu0ue

President Wilson could hardly have expect
ed that his request of congress to abstain from

turned to explain it, would be literally complied
with. 1t is mpossible--it is undesrable-to
prevent representatives and senators from ex-
pressing themselves. To emit views" is their
long suit, If they had to lock them up in their
stuffed bosoms the consequences would be as
dangerous as to suppress any other natural Sc
erection. Symptoms of auto-ntoxication would
surely be displayed. Anything like formal
congressional debate on the league in the sense
of trying to discover where the majority opn-
ion. or majority vote, lay would. of course, be
ill-timed But men will say what they think,
in and out of congress. 1t is we'll that they
should One of the objects in giving out the
text of the proposed constitution of the league
Of nations must have been to invite discussion
If there are grave defects in it they ought to be
pointed out and corrected If there are foolish
objections to it, an early airing of them will do
not harm, but good. The way is open and can
not be closed When it is a question of match
ing minds" what is in the divergent minds must
be freely disclosed Only so can we find out
whether it is true, as the president asserts, that
there is good and sufficient reason for the con-
stituton of the league of nations having been
drafted as it was.-New York Post.

Why the Long Delay?

Almost week has elapsed since an unarmed
soldier was shot down by city detective, and
the heads of the police department say they are
unable to determine course of action because
they are not yet in possession of all the facts.
Why the long delay?
To an outsider it would seem that only few
hours of careful inquiry by the chief of police
would be sufficient to determine whether the
officer was justified in shooting the boy he was
attempting to arrest If he was not so justi-
fed, he should be treated as any other offender
under the law. Merely because he is police
man, and clothed with authority and power Of
arresting other citizens, does not lift him above
the law.
The majesty of the law is not sustained
when the police become parties to delays and
apparently connive at shielding offenders from
punishment. If the officer involved is guiltless.
the fact ought to be established; if blameable,
he should be punished. But the excuses now
offered by the chief Of police, that the case has
not been entirely investigated, are mere qub-
bes, and do not satisfy either side.

The same sun shines on No Mans Lane
That shines on us today.
The tender grass is springing up.
And just one daring buttercup
Has boldly pushed its way
Through blood stained mud and tangled
wire,
To view the havoc wrought
BY bursting shell and scorching fire.
Where peace was dearly bought
For Nature waves her fairy wand
To right the wrongs of No Mans Land
The wind that blows DER No Mans Lane
The scent of blossoms bears
To us. But there the naked trees
Lift tortured branches to the breeze:
No budding joy is theirs
But here and there from ravaged root,
Withered and brown and dead,
There springs anew tiny shoot,
Raising its timid head
The resurrection God has planned
To right the wrongs of No Mans Land.
The wraiths that people No Mans Land
Are watching US today.
They cannot rest until they know
II that grim task they tried to do
Has failed or paved the way
To holding nations side by side
In peace and unity.
We do not wonder that they died
To keep a whole world free.
So let us not withhold our hand
But right the wrongs of No Mans Land

German Disarmament

Behind the entente decision to make Ger
many's army of 100000 men long-term army,
with enstnents for period of IL years, is,
of course, the memory of what Prussia did after
Jena. The Prussian army was restricted by
Napoleon for period of 10 years to maxi
mum of $4,000 men, By system of short, in
tensive drill, Scharnhorst succeeded in passing
through the cadres nearly four times that num-
Der Of men, It may be assumed that the en-
tente will look for safeguards against repe-
tition of this maneuver, but it is also to be as
sumed that German resourcefulness will en-
deavor to find way if the will persists. To
speak, therefore, of Germany's perpetual dis
armament is premature, at the same time that
we may concede her military impotence for a
good many years to come. Welcome as this
first step towards the disappearance of con-
scription everywhere must be, it is to be re-
membered that as yet the change is not away
from CONSUMPTION to the ideal of national
militia but towards professional army For
the purpose of maintaining internal order a
German army of 100000 men is large enough.
Both in Russia and Germany it has latterly been
shown that not numbers count, but discipline
and resoution.-New York Post.

Limiting Acreage of Cotton.

A gathering of cotton planters is being held
at Memphis just now to finally conclude as to
the extent to which the acreage of cotton is to
be restricted for the coming season. Since early
in the year the movement has been under way;
county and district conventions have been held
all through the SOUTH and generally the de-
termination is expressed by the planters that
they will not grow more cotton than reasonably
can be absorbed at the market on the basis
of 50 cents a pound.
What would these men say if the farmers OF
Nebraska Iowa and others of the great food
producing states were to unite in a move to
restrict the output of wheat, corn, pork and the
like to famine basis, and exact famine prices?
Suppose the steel mills, the coal mines, all
the great basic industries were to adopt a
similar policy? Who can comprehend or ex-
press the harm that would result, the calamity
in general that would overtake the world, ii
the policy adopted by the southern cotton
planters were to be made general? Yet each
of the other underlying groups has an interest
exactly IS intense from selfish standpoint as
the cotton planter.
The ethical aspect of the case is too obvious
to deserve discussion, while its moral phase is
quite as plain. 1t might seem spiteful to recall
that only four years ago the whole country
was being enlisted in an effort 10 help out the
cotton planters. Now that they are banding to-
gether to hold up the people who then assisted
them, ordinary indignation is too mild to reach
the offenders. Their plan may succeed, but the
hereafter surely will overtake them,

Wages for City Policemen.

The dispute in the city council over the pay
schedule for policemen seems to turn on the
choice of one of two principles as basis for
compensation. Chief Ebersten and Superinten-
dent Ringer have advocated a sliding schedule
based on merit. This is to be determined by
service, and is open to one great objection, that
finally the determination of merit will be left
to the chief of police Thus, the man below
would be made to realize that his opportunity
to secure an increase in pay would depend on
his standing with the head of the force. Not
very careful analysis is needed to disclose the
danger that lies in this. Meritorious service
should be rewarded in some other way.
While standardized pay has some features
that are open to objection, the basic plan of
giving each man similar compensation for SINH
lar service, with added pay for continuous serv-
ice up to reasonable maximum, and holding out
to all the opportunity for advancement through
promotion to higher grades, is the one that
will operate to better advantage for all con-
cerned in the long run. 1t gives to the man on
the beat assurance that faithful service will be
recompensed by pay advances accruing because
of seniority, and that his ability will be his test
for promotion 1t relieves him OF any impulse
or inducement to try for more money through
currying favor with superior, and also from
any danger that might threaten his place on
the payroll through the displeasure of the man
above him.
Our police force should not be demoralized
through the subtle influence that might flow
from control of the rate of pay by the chief or
his assistants under the guise of recognition of
merit.

BoLsHEvIsM: A REAL MENACE.

Hungarian proetariat having united with the
Russian extremists declaring for the support
of all that bolshevism contains, challenge the
world anew.
Civilization is no longer confronted merely
with the passing fury of isolated groups, but a
great region that is blazing with social discord.
The fact that the Hungarian peasantry, as that
OF Russia, has been backward, that the Tatar
strain is but slightly diluted through the ages
that have passed since first the Magyars in
vaded the region of the Vistula and the Danube,
explains the readiness with which the delusion
of bolshevism takes hold. This does not point
the way to settlement, however.
America and western Europe are in less dan
ger of being overwhelmed by the madness, for
the people are of different stock have been tried
more thoroughly in the fires of adversely, and
are more completely trained in self-discipline.
1t is not likely, therefore, that government and
order will be overthrown among the great ma
tons. More than this is involved, however.
General Hoffman,, who dictated the treaty
at Brest-Ltovsk to the Lenine-Trotzky group,
processes to see the present Allies united with
Germany in war against Russia to quel the
hordes now gathering under the banner of boil
shevism. Not much imagination is required for
the moment to visualize such an event. Fifteen
centuries ago Rome was confronted with much
the same situation, facing the ancestors of the
present bolsheviki, and later was overwhelmed
by them, and Europe was plunged into the Dark
Age.
Civilization can no longer temporize with
this social insanity and retain security. A
definite policy should be outlined and put into
force at once. Whether we are to conquer them
with kindness or with force, we must set about
the work with little delay for the longer the job
is put off, the harder it will be to finish.
