LET MODERATION PREVAIL

There is sound sense in the statement made nv A.
tcrney General Palmer that the thing that is esneciall v
desirable at this time is the enactment of stringent laws
penalizing real profiteering. rather than the framing of
bills authorizing the president to fix wholesale and re-
tail prices of commodities.
What the country needs is immediate action which
will remedy some of the worst of existing abuses, The
shaping of legislation to govern the production and dis
tribution Of products is certain to be a long lob and
there are certain things which cannot well be permitted
to wait. There is not likely to be any debate on the
proposition that means should be found to mete out
adequate punishment to all persons who are shown to
be guilty of extortion in handling the necessaries of life
There may be differences Of opinion as to the best way
to achieve the object, but let immediate legislation be
confined to that subject. and there is every reason to
believe that there will be speedy agreement on some
method which will prove reasonably effective. With
the work confined to that issue, no public ma von,d
dare to assume the role of obstructionist.
But let there be undertaken a cotnpreh.n.,v. MAN
for the regulating Of the handling Of commodities on
anything like a complete and permanent basis and tho
way is opened for endless debate and interuinable d.l.v
1t would be necessary to remove doubt as to the con.ti-
tuttonal powers Of congress in the premises. Constitu-
tlonal problems having been solved. 1t would be necessary
to decide within what limits action was expedient. how
Tar the government could 60 in the matter Of regulation
without throttlins the legitimate activities of the country,
And while debate was progressing on these and other
highly Important phases Of the question, there would be
tnose whose personal interest lies in preventaing action
Of any kind who would be constantly planting nev .tuu.
bling blocks and discovering fresh material for debate,
Just now the country needs laws against proftteerinr
laws with teeth and claws. After those are enacted con.
sress may well devote it's attention to the consider. liz,
OF plans Of q more general and more permanent nature.

Archangel, Aug. 21.-Two Amen-

Merrill of Somerville, Mass, and
Thomas L. Cotton Of Lingle. WNo.,
were caught amid heavy shell fire in
a mutiny of Russian troops at Tulgas
on the Dvina river some time ago.
Their experiences have just now beepG

Merrill and Cotton who were form
erly Dartmouth college athletes. were
the only Americans in the village
which was garrisoned by Russian
troops, with a few British officers. The
Russians, fearing that they were
about to be cut of and surrounded by
the Bolsheviki, determined to mutihy.
They escorted the two Americans to
a blockhouse which was under fire
from Russian artillery.
The blockhouse eventually became
too hot for the Russian escorts and
they fled, leaving the Americans to
make their escape to Archangel by
rowing ESQ miles down the river.

THE PRINCE OF WALES

The visit of the Prince of Wales to this continent
and his forthcoming visit to the United States bring up
as matters of current interest a good many facts which,
while they have been well known. have almost passed
from the recollection of most Of us. One of these is the
manner in which the title, prince of Wales" was first
conferred upon the son Of an English king. Wales, so the
chronicles tell us, remained for a long time under the
rule Of an ancient line of British kings who refused to
yield allegiance to the invading saxons and their success
sors, the Normans. For several generations the early
Norman kings sought to extend their sway over the little
mountainous kingdom to the west, but it was not until
the time of Edward I. that this was accomplished. Ed
ward sent his armies into the Welsh mountains and fin
ally the sturdy little band of defenders were obliged to
yield. When the matter of arranging for the government
of the conquered kingdom was being discussed, Edward
assured the Welsh representatives that he had no inten-
ton of deprivng them of their own government; on the
contrary he declared that he, would name as their prince
one who was born in Wales and who could not speak a
word Of English. The Welshmen, gratified by this con-
cession. agreed to all Of Edwards demands, and swore
fealty to him. and to the ruler whom he should name.
son, Edward, who happened to have been born within
husband on his invasion, and who it was quite sure could
not at that time speak a word Of English or of any other
language. Like a good many other tricks of the sort this
the manner in which they had been duped. inaugurated
3 rebellion which, while not successful. kept Edward
busy during the remainder Of his reign.
The title thus conferred as a grim lest. and renre-
sentins as it did utter calousness and lack of good faith,
has as a rule been borne since that time by the eldest son
OF the British monarch. The unpleasant features which

THAT BLISS LETTER

When the president presented to the senate the peace
treaty and made his address on that subject he invited
the senate and its committee on foreign relations to call
on him for any information concerning the treaty, say
ing that he would gladly supply anything that he had.
Some little time ago a request was made that Mr.. Will
son transmit to the senate a copy Of the protest which
General Bliss was reported to have made to him on be-
half Of himself, Secretary Lansing. and Mr.. White con-
corning the settlement Of the Shantung question. The
president replied that for reasons which he set forth he
did not consider the publication Of this letter wise, and
1t was not given the senate. Because Of this there has
been more or less criticism. The president has been ac-
cused Of voluntarily Offering to do a certain thing and
then fatty refusing to do it. Those who wish to be criti-
cal may quite easily convince themselves that this is the
case. In all fairness, however. the facts relating to the
Bliss correspondence ought to be understood. In the
first place the president informed the senate that the
letter written by General Bliss was not a protest against
the shantung settlement The Chinese matter was pending
before the conference. Certain methods of settlement
had been suggested and were under discussion. Mr.. Will
son as head Of the American delegation asked his col
leagues for an expression of their views on the subject.
He received It in the form Of a letter from General Bliss
which was concurred in by other members Of the dele
CATION. In this, these members took strong ground
against the form of settlement which was then proposed,
and stated their reasons for their position. Subsequently
the plans under consideration were modified.
1t Is evident that in a communication of this kind
such an expression of personal views was to be expected
as the writer might not have felt at liberty to make in a
public way, and the president says specifically that the
letter of General Bliss was written in a personal way and
contained reference to foreign governments which it did
not appear to be advisable to make public. What gov
ernnents those are is not stated. but it is quite easy to
understand that in a communication Of this kind between
members Of the same delegation there might easily oc-
cur a very frank discussion of the attitude and motives
Of other governments which If made public would give
great ohense and would be the source of much irritation.
The presidents offer to lay before the senate all the in
formation that he had must be interpreted in a reasonable
way. It is understood always that certain communica-
tions relating to public matters are intended to be pri-
vate and must be kept private, and it is not reasonable
to assume that a general offer to furnish information is
intended to cover everything that may have been said or
done.

THE CHANGE.
When Esbert Oswald Tomkinson was just a little lad
He used to do a lot of things the neghbors thought was bad:
He broke full many a window pane and ran away from school
And once he stole a neighbours pie that she'd put out to cool.
His parents said they couldn't do a single thing with him
They'd threaten him with punishment and tortures dire and grim,
But Egbert was a winful boy in search of boyish fun
Who never thought of damage till the damage had been done.
The neighbors sadly shook their heads whenever he ran wild
And vowed they'd never see before so terrible a child.
His brain was always thinking up new mischief he could do
And mothers called their darings in when Egbert came in view.
But that was many years ago and Egbert now is grown,
He has earned a lot of money and his fame is widely known.
The papers often print his name with adjectives Of praise
And the netghbors now recall with gle his clever childish ways
