DORMANT AT DOORN

TT THE Amsterdam report that the
L allied powers have accepted Hol-
lands last note concerning the cx-
kaiser is true, Entente diplomacy is re-
turning to realities. The Dutch Gov
ernmcnt. il is said. has promised to
stand guard over William Hohenzollern
and prevent him from endangering
peace.
Acquiescence in the assumption Of
this wardship means that there is to be
no trial nor sensational discussion, Of
new substitutes for st. Helena. 1t
means also that even the light of no
toricty will be withdrawn from the cx-
mpcror. Obscurity is to be his deserved
portion.
Such punishment is really the severest
which fate could intlict and far more
suited to the case than the formal ar
raignment so fantastically proposed in
the treaty of Versailles.

VETERANS AND LABOR

WHAT the members Of thc American
w Legion really think and what is said
and intmatcd by people who assume to
speak for them are often widely at vari-
ancc, Publication by Mr.. Gompers Of
statement by Mr.. D'Olicr. national
commander of the Legion. showing that
there Is no friction or suspicion OF fric-
tion between the veterans organization
and the federation will clear the air of
some dfsagrceable rumors that have had
a mysterious origin.
Somewhere or other there has been
an effort TO make it appear that the aims
'of Mr.. Gompers's organization and the
Legion were in some ways diverse: that
the very existence of the Legion might
be expected to restrict labor activities,
and that the sort of criticism which is
part of labors Legitimate propaganda
would have to he somehow censored to
meet the requirements of soldier scnti-
ment.
Mr.. D'OliCr and Mr.. Gompcrs, in a
dignified way, have merely reiterated
what every one ought to know and admit
that the veterans and the members Of
the federation are alike rational and
patriotic Americans, and that as such
they have common aims The people
who would create a contrary impression
imply wrong attitude of mind nor only
in the Federation Of Labor but in the
Legion itself.

ILLITERAcY AND THE CENSUS

THE we'll known candor Of the federal
i census is promptly capitalized by the
professional pcssimist. He regards the
decennal survey as repository of
alarming facts.
DR.. Thomas L. Finegan, the su-
perintendent of public schools in this
state, does not deny that some OF the
recorded realities are dismal enough, but
he is quite rightly averse to accepting
them merely with a despairing sigh.
The plan involves not simply the dis
closure of the number Of illiterates in
Pennsylvania-fgures duly set forth in
every census-but the specification by
the government of the names and ad-
dresses of the uneducated. Speaking
before the Americanization session OF
the Pennsylvania Safety Congress the
other day. Doctor Fincgan expressed
the belief that, with such information
in hand and with the assistance of
Governor Sproul and the CO. operation of
the state departments. we shall be able
to eliminate illitcracy in Pennsyi-
vania."
The data should certainly be rur-
nished. Cooperation along the sug
gcstcd lines between the stare and
federal governments would give new
complexion to otherwise gloomy pages
of the census. Reform has a real chance
to thrive when cases in need of It are
particularized and rendered thus avail
able for direct treatment.

MONEY AND POLITICS

CENATOR BORAH is not the only
~ one who is moved to clamorous ut
terance by the spending habit Of few
conspicuous candidates for national Of
fee. The dollar mark is coming back
osity of the public is being aroused. and
when the people begin to ask questions
they will have to be answered.
II is plain that a good deal of money
is being spilled in the West, but it is
a question whether Genera! Wood. Gov
ernor Lowden and others are actually
putting it to an illcgitimate use. They
are paying the new high cost of propa.
ganda and the huge salaries of press
agents. Even such expenditures are
not inspiring, for the candidates who
always are trusted by tho public are
those who do not need press agents.
I'VE are perfectly willing to go to
the mat with Mr.. Borah." said Repre-
sentative Norman J. Gould. one of Gen =
eral Woods campaign managers. That
statement leaves something to be desired.
Mr.. Hoover has better and simpler
answer to questions which relate to the
financial side of his boom. He has no
money to spend in politics, he said. He
knew little, he said, about the money
being spent by Hoover clubs, but was
sure that it was not much and that
these organizations would be perfectly
willing TO open their books for inspec-
ton at any time.
And yet the spenders themselves won

HOW DOES 1T

THE great national game of hide and

THE great national game of hide and
L seek is on.
The art of being n candidate is not
to have any convictions not shared by
30 per cent of the electorate who may
cast votes for or against you, or at
least TO hide such convictions as are
not so shared.
And the art of being voted for is to
discover the hidden convictions or to
force the voter to disclose them.
1t is a highly organized sport.
For better cOncealment you, If you
are candidate, belong to that typical
result of the American genius for
organization, the party.

think the land over.

A dozen people get together.
They declare that they represent
100000 voters in this broad land.
They demand to know before they
vote where YOU stand on the great
question whether there should be five or
six eyelets for shoe ,laccs in oxford
ties.

issue, contenting itself merely with
saying 1--WE sympathise with the

y the first successful dark horse in the
American presidential race. Others
similarly ranked are Pierce, Hayes and
Garfield. The Democrats nursed the in
spiration in such precedents when Bryan
stepped into the illusory limelight in
1896. Wilson can hardly be classed as
n surprise candidate in 1912, although
he was by no means the choice Of his
marty machine. His occupancy of a
goyernorship was hailed as a good omen.
State governors have often been effective
