A POLICY, NOT A MAN

Senator BOrah insists that it is not a question of conf
dence in our president, but one of national policy. No man,
he insists, has any business or any right to have such con-
fidence i'm a mere man, which a president is, that he would
accept from him any change in policy that he might see fit
to bring about. Nations must view such matters more broad
ly than as one of confidence in the man who happens to be
in a position to act decisively. Presidents even may have
mistaken ideas and whims even, or they may be influenced
by what may be called the pride of their own opinions. In
this case Mr.. Wilson in speech long ago expressed certain
ideas and naturally now he wants to see everything ended so
as to square with those ideas. That is his pride of opinion,
and of that kind of pride we all have enough and to spare
at all times. We like to be able to say that we fOrecasted a
situation Alright, or that we had our way.
We believe that Senator Borah is quite in the right. In
battle it might be necessary to follow your leader or to go
where he may send you, but in other things the thoughts Of
many are worth more than the thoughts of any one man.,
however fitted he may be. In a democracy it is supposed to
be the collective thought of the people, which is public SEN
timent, that rules. 1t is no virtue to say that we stand by
our man, nor is it wisdom to discourage Independent think
ing or even criticism, for criticism may be of all things the
most whOlesOmely constructive.

THE ''FLAMING COFFINS"

The American aviators, now that they are released from
silence under military rule, are not bearing high testimony
to the few American fighting planes that found their way
to France. They call them flaming coffins,' a phrase that
is bound to stick in connection with the late war. The men
who flew in them say that they were not fit for action,
that they We're dangerous contraptions, with new ideas that
had not been proved. They were of all things most apt to
catch fire, and hence the phrase, flaming collins" And a
man, or two men in an airplane which clutches on fire do not
have much leeWay.
We are bound to place confidence in the men who went
up in those machines. Their opinions are more conclusive
than the findings of political committees. And if the facts
are as these men say they are, then it is fortunate that we
did not get more of our planes to the front-and they say
there were only a few, mostly Haviland tours, a foreign
model with American alterations supposed to be improve
ments. Congress appropriated at one time $6SO,OOO,OW for
the aerial service and at another time over $SOOOOO,OOO, and
it is still an interesting question what was done with those
vast sums of money, or 50 much of them as were not left
in the treasury. And while we are interested in knowing
how our moneys were spent, still we are now to be glad
that we did not make more of the machines to which the
a>iators who have returned have given the name of ''fam-
ing collins"

THAT BIGGEST NAVY" BLUFF

The senate now has secret news of a message that the
president sent to Washington, urging the policy that Secre-
tary Daniels announced, and which he afterward admitted
was advocated to serve as a scare on England. That policy was
to start out to build the biggest navy in the world and to
complete it within the next six years. This was to be done
al a time when we had already greatly impoverished ourselves
making war and trying to build aeroplanes. The secret infOr-
nation that the senate now has, and of course it has leaked
out, is to the effect that without such an announced policy
the president could not carry out his ideas in the peace con-
ference.
This is startling to some who are outside of the senate,
where men nowadays see all sorts of bogies, for we were led
to believe, nay we are told. in effect, that the idealistic poll
ces of the president are to be carried out by soaring and in
timidating England. The threat to build a navy greater than
that of England was supposed to scare England out of its wits
and make her accede to any program that we might have for
the remaking of Europe and the world. But can it be said
that idealistic negotiations can be carried out by placing a
pistol at the head of one of the negoiators? And when the
other negotiator is Johnny Bull himself, who has been known
to be a stubborn and even an ugly fellow? The idea is GER
tainly startling enough and it seems impossible that Wood
row Wilson could have originated it and cabled it in secret to
Secretary Daniels, who was not enough of a diplomat to keep
the secret or to avoid telling the truth-that is that the big
navy he asked for was not to be a real navy, but just an
enacted one to scare England.
But England does not seem to have been in the least
scared-her statesmen probably knew that Uncle Sam was
betting on a bob-tailed flush, or a pair of duces. And it is
now revealed. in connection with these secret dispatches that
Lloyd George himself. so far from being scared or intimidat-
ed, told an American congressman who interviewed him that he
hoped that the United States would 60 ahead with the build
ing of that big navy. for it would be a great aid to England
in policing the world. They all want us to assume their bur-
dens and they are working us for the rich Uncle Sam who is
ready to blow in his money, if not to blow out his own brains.
And then this further interview took place:
What will you be building while we are building battle
ships?" inquired Mr.. Butler, the American congressman.
Merchant ships replied Lloyd George.
There you have it. Instead of being a piece of diplO-
matte shrewdness on our part it turns out to be a piece of
craftiness on the part of Johnny Bull, to have us waste time
and money monkeying with more batUeships while he him
self proceeds to capture the merchant marine business.

THE NEW DEMOCRACY

The United States now runs a shop where 1T sells curlosl-
ties. 1t is called the historical branch of the service and its
official advertisements are printed in the u. S. Bulletin. In
the list we notice number 1880, which is 1.-The bathroom in
Prince Murats mansion" i'm Paris, where the presidential
party is now escOnced in wealth and luxury.
This exquisite picture of an exquisite bathroom is Of
fered for sale by the United States government for % cents,
address the Photographic Section, Signal Corps, Nineteenth and
B streets, Washington. If you want the picture of the bath
room in which the descendant of Pocahontas has made her
morning dip, all you have to do is to send the 70 cents and
the great U. S. A. will do the rest, so anxious is the govern
ment to educate us about royal bathrooms. If this is not u
sign of progress, what in the name of heaven is 1T? The
only thing we hope is that they will not find out in Europe
that our government is specializing in such photographs, for
lea and that even pictures of them are highly priced.
In the same list of official photographs we find 81 1873,
which is described as Colonel f. M. House and his secre-
tary. Gordon Auchincloss, Paris" Now, this Auchincloss is an
interesting character, the son-inlaw of Colonel House, and
his likeness ought to be in every home. His achievements
are many and great. We ought to make a national hero of
him for three reasons-his name is Auchincloss, he is a secre-
tary. and he is the secretary of the uncrowned king of Amer
lea. or at least the unelected alter ego of a president. or
course. some of us could understand the matter better if the
secretary were a pretty girl-but the U. S. A. officially wants
us all to learn to like Auchincloss, and so please buy his
picture, for only twenty-five cents.
These are great days of toadyism, of bathrooms, and we
plain people out in the country and in the mining camps will
have to step lively to keep up.

A l. HALTS PEACE

The loOked-for complaint has been heard. Europe wants
a peace, a peace of some kind or any kind. The people are
growing tired of academic discussions by pundits and poiti-
clans and men who would, through mere diplomacy, remake
the whole world, Peace, that is what they want, so they
may again go about their affairs. AS long as the issues hang
i'll the balance no mans mind is settled and no ones place
are going to get, and SO do the Serbians, and the French
want to know where their new boundaries are going to be,
while Germany, more anxious than all the others, wants to
know what it must pay and when its ports will be unlock
AIDED. They have set up their own government and they are
ready to go ahead.
These demands are said to be so insistent that the peace
commissioners can hardly disregard them and they are said
to be preparing to hurry things up SO there may be a vr-
tual decision reached in March, instead of in June. 1t is
well that this want for an early settlement has been made
felt, for it would not be a hard matter for men obsessed with
for the next thousand years to prolong their debates, and in
such matters one thing always brings on another, and the
things that call for adjustment are endless while those who
come with demands are without number.
In this country also we are somewhat vitality interested
in having a final settlement reached. We are hanging in the
air ourselves. No one knows how to go ahead. Even the
food situation depends on the peace outcome now. England
is not buying provisions now, for it has enough left to sup
ply its wants for sixteen weeks. France is buying little and
Italy only a little more. Germany would buy, but it has no
means and the American sellers are not willing to take Ger
next government might upset them. AS long as the peace
hangs in the balance that long will we have unsettled condi-
tions the world over, including the United States.

ROYALTY UNMASKED

Now that the royal families of Europe can not longer
mulct the taxpayers to support their families and their harems'
are beoinning to resort to the divorce courts. They
must be too lazy to go out to provide a living for their
spouses and their offspring. The former emperor u AUS
tria. if is reported. will divorce his wife, Zita, and now comes
the runor that the German ex-crown prince will pro-
coed to separate himself from the woman who accepted
him in the DAYS when he looked like a person OF some I'm
portance in the world. The crown prince, presumably to
save his own life. fled to an island in the Zuyder see or he
was informed there by the government of Holland, and ne
left behind him his family, presumably not caring what might
come TO them at the hands of the mobs that were then as
summing control of things in Berlin and around Potsdam.
The crown prince that was will approve himself as a fine
pup" if in their first misfortunes he divorces the woman VINO
bore him five children-mless she wants it SO done, ana III
that case it would be a credit to her judgment.

THE FIELD OF HONOR in FRANCE

The suggestion that the Americans acquire in France a
field of honor in which the American dead shall be buried
is strikingly sensible. OF course, there are some who may
want the remains of their boys brought home, and those de
sires should be respected in all possible cases. for those who
gave their living are entitled to receive their dead.
But there may be many who share i'll the ROoseveltian
feeling that they would want their dead buried on the fields
in which they died, and for all such the field of honor would
be a fitting rseitng place and it would become a great Ameri-
can shrine for ages to.come. And the presence of such a
field of honor would in itself become an expression in favor
of peace in distracted Europe. The moral influence of an
American field of honor, such as proposed in France, would
be incalculable.

ENGLAND'S TRADE" WAR

The Hearst papers, which were barred from England ana
the British colonies. and which are therefore always opposed
to anything English, are making a great ado about England
limiting certain kinds of imports, calling it a trade war
against the United States.
From the standpoint of England, the policy adopted we
should consider a wise one. There is no thought in it of hos
tlitv against the United States. In England the men are
striking to reduce the working hours OF the day, not because
thew want to work fewer hours, but because they want TO
make more working days for more working men, men VINO
would otherwise be idle. Would it not be folly for that coun-
try to import things and throw workingmen out OF work!
In effect the British policy is one akin to our protective
tariff. and we have never been willing to concede thai 1T was
a trade war against England, and England has not so consld-
cred it, although it has limited its exports to this country.
The right of a country to provide for those OF It's own
industrial household is supreme, and none of us should COM
plain of England doing it. If we will attend to our own bus
mess as England is proposing to attend to its business we
will be better off, too.

SHIPPERS OPPOSE McADOO

The Corn Belt Meat Producers association in their Des
Moines convention the other day went on record as opposed
to railroad ownership and operation of railroads and also OPP
posed to building more merchant ships on government ac-
count and for operation by the government. These views are
somewhat unexpected, but they are not far from being cor
rect. The stock shippers know that government management
of railroads is not desirable, for there is less effort made to
please the shippers and it is almost impossible to even
get losses adjusted. AS for the government built ships, they
are in competition with the ships that are operated under
other flags.

Those who have groaned under high food prices ought to
begin to see a little daylight. Western dressed beef has gone
down from So to So a hundred and lambs from So to 81 a hun
dred, while butter has gone off five cents a pound and eggs
three cents a dozen-and they will go lower still. These are
the wholesale declines, but they may be expected to reach
those who buy at retail in due time.

One wonders how it happens that a man whom we
used to know as Bryan does not come forward to gloat about
the country going to a grape juice basis. Has he lost all his
pride and what has become of the words that used to run so
glibly from his tongue?
