PALATABLE RESERVATIONS

THE twelve Republican mild reserva-
= tionists who are said to be considering
a fusion with forty-four Democrats in
'e treaty tangle are in a position to do
he country an immense service.
sTSane agreement on this subject bv
fifty-six senators will not establish the
necessary two-thirds majority, but the
concert should be stimulus to waverers.
Once specific, ineligible plan is afoot
the sentiment of the nation will make
resistance to it difficult to maintain.
1t is hinted-that the compromise reser
vations will be on lines close to those set
down by Mr.. Lodge. But there is no
inevitable reason to foresee deadlock in
the movement. 1t was not so much the
substance as the manner of the Lodge
reservations which made them objection
able.
They were bad-tempered, belligerent

WITHOUT HONOR

CONSIDERATIONS of honor and of
" decency are restraining influences
among all civilized people. Normal men
hesitate before they lie or steal or answer
friendliness with enmity. 1t is because
the moral sense is utterly lacking in pro-
fessional agitators for the Bolshevists
that more scrupIlous people must deal
mercilessly with them.
Any crime is tolerated il the Lenine
philosophy as means to an end Hereto
fore only daring criminals went in for
counterfeiting. But the manufacture and
circulation of imitation money has long
been one of the accepted methods of prac-
tical bolshevism.
Fake money and fake Liberty Bonds
were found by the agents of the Depart
ment of Justice in many of the recent
raids in this country. This evidence shows
at least that some of the irreconcilables
now in Jail were preparing to adopt in
this country a method that Lenine ap-
piled with extraordinary effect in Russia.
The early Bolshevists adopted counter
feiting as the supreme form of sabotage.
When they wished to bring Russia to her
knees they began the Generalization cf
the financial system by flooding the
country with imitation money. They
counterfeited not for profit chiefly, but to
bring about social and moral confusion.

WAR AT THE HALL?

nFFlCEHOLDERS allied with the
~ Wares who found themselves tempo
rarily or permanently jobless yesterday
when the new city solicitor suddenly dis
missed the entire staff of his department
need not rail at Mayor Moore or Mr..
Smyth.
Such communications as they may have
to make in the present crisis should be
sent to the irrepressible Charley Hall,
who, as the head of the Ware faction in
the new Council, arose at the first meet
ing and clamorcd for fight. The dramatic
invitation was accepted, but Mr.. Hall was
nowhere about to take the consequences
or help the afflicted brethren. So it has
always been with word-fghters. AS an
example of political tactlessness the out
burst of defiance at the organization of
the new Council was almost without
precedent.
A policy of frightfulness directed at
the Wares and their friends was not con-
templated by Mr.. Moore. 1t is to be
hoped that it will not be necessary. The
innocent, in such circumstances, would
inevitably suffer with the guilty. The
city solicitor has intimated that he will
lSlHSCdIt SOIuS VI llle llEeu yeSIeE-
day and it is to be hoped that he will
do so.
AS a demonstration of force the up
heaval was convincing. Mr.. Hall and his
advisers ought to know now that it is
unwise to start anything that you can't
finish. A cry for war to the hilt came
with poor grace from the leader of the
Ware forces in Council. What Mr.. Hall
apparently forgot was that he and his
associates in the opposition represent
discredited order of politics and that the
men he challenged are actually pledged
to better things. There are no evenly
balanced issues to inspire sympathy for a
fighting minority. The question in the
new Council is one of good or bad govern
ment
There is one way in which everybody
can be relatively safe at City Hall.
Everybody, including the Ware council
men, can get in line and pull together
behind Mayor who wants good govern
ment and is willing to fight for it skill
fully and, in pinch, without mercy.

DiSTURBERS OF THE PEACE

IF THERE is one thing that the world
= cannot afford it is misunderstanding
between America and Britain, or any
abatement of the sympathy that grew up
automatically between the two great
divisions of the Anglo Saxon world in the
years of the war. The results of any wide
separation of British and American aims
and policies would be immeasurable and,
an all probability, disastrous. Naval
rivalry on a stupendous scale would be
certain. But more dangerous would be
the suspicious and jealousies that confuse
bought, dissipate energy and make
4 .iendly cooperation impossible.
\ Every rational observer of events ad-
it's all this. And yet there are in
merica Il great many people who are
+ ying to revive the old-fashioned
.tastime that used to be known as twist
inb the lions tail. England has a group
oi irresponsible men who are quite as de-
fefmined to be offensive to the United
States. Thus Hearst has been flaming
forgotten prejudices to new life with
false reports of British designs on Ameri-
ran financial resources. Senator Sherman
IS playing an ardent obbligato to the
Hearst tune, and the big navy crowd in
England are shouting hysterical warn
jngx 10 their country and insisting that
: Ae biggest navy in the world is neces-
- 10 keep the Americans from grab

SEAGULLS

A LII day long where the sunlight gladdens
n Rock and headand, and beach and shoal,
White as the fierce salt surf that whitens
Crested breakers that shoreward roll,
Hither, thither, with brave breasts buoyant,
Loiter the gulls from near and far,
Now aloft on their spreading pinions,
Now wings folded on beach and bar.
Salt airs breathing and lungs expanded,
Thus I watch them till day grows dim;
Nigh and distant, the great sea, psalming,
Lifts triumphant a ceaseless hymn.
Back from the shore when the shadows
lengthen,
Far, far homing, before the night.
Sunset tinting their wings with color,
West west ever, they take their fight.
Far, far westward the gulls go speeding,
League and league through the dying day,
Till. low specks on the western skyline,
Faint and fainter, they fade away.
Birds, brave birds, when your fight is ended
Darkness yelling the rose red vest,
Stars above you. and night surrounding,
Where, oh, where do you take your restf
Where ! know not but this I witness
Dawnlight flooding the landscape fair),
Eastward flying, your snow white legions
Course their way through the dewy air.
Back again to the white sea -surges,
Back again ere the world awake
Brave breasts buoyant and wings extended
East. east ever your course ye take.
-Rodcric Quinn, in the Sydney Bulletin.

souvenir, but the Italians did not want to
part with them. small boy, seeing that he
wanted a medal, offered to get one for him

bronze disk which he gave to the doctor.
