The International Debate

The experts having decided that
M. Georges, however dangerous a
fighter in the trenches, is only
graceful dilettante in the prizering,
the mere outsider must fall back
upon his simpler reactions to this
historic and, according to some
critics, histrionic occasion.
"He have no lunch." exclaimed
The excited hacker of the victor as
the prone Levinsky listened to
final repetition Of the lower numer-
ais. Plainly the implication was
that if the Carpenter digestion had
been up to par there was no know
ing how much harder he might have
hit. Only little later the resusci-
tated Levinsky was estimating the
Carpenter punch at exactly double
the punching force of the Dems5ey
punch. And he ought to know.
Which leaves the uninitiated in
maze of bewildered calculations
whereby the doomed Dempsey must
presently be catapulted cut of the
ring at double the speed of the
mountainous Willard. Q. L. y.
Not only in this matter Of friendly
repartee and generous admiration of
the vanquishcd for the victor was
the match notable, Here was a new
kind of prizefghter, looking like a
movie actor-or, perhaps, an under
wear advertisement would be a more
effective comparison. Into this so
brutal and low-brow English sport
dances a Gallo figure of real beauty
and distinction-quite as Mr. Arnold
Bennett eloquently portrayed him
upon the occasion of the brief affair
IN London with one Beckett.
A distinction is important here
however, which Mr.. Bennett neglect
ed to observe. We have before us
9 hlgh-brow prizefghter-but he
nights not at all as a high brow. Not
science but vervc, dash, elan and the
fiery eye are his attributes in COM
bat. Which makes the issue with
dempsey not quite the clear-cut
issue which Mr.. Bennett had pre-
pared US to hope for. Carpenter
may we'll be quashed and civilization
yet survive.

training in normal school or college
and adaptabiity for difficult calling.
With equal training for some other
occupation, the average teacher might
expect to gain greater material re-
ward. There is a satisfaction in de-
voting a life to instructing the
young which in itself is no small
recompense, but sole reliance cam
not be placed on this, as the number
of teachers now going into other vo-
cations attests.
Commissioner Claxton feels that
the country's 100000 teachers should
receive pay corresponding to that
earned in other professions. They
are making the United States of the
immediate future. The army Of
school teachers forms our first line
of defense against ignorance, preju-
dice and Needless action. Whether
it is cXpedient, at the present time,
to raise their average salary to the
figure mentioned by Commissioner
Claxton may be open to debate But
that in general salaries are too low,
and particularly in rural schools, is
hardly open to question.

Sharing Production Gains

The White Motor Company is TODAY
paying its labor 110 per cent more than
1T was before the war Yet, in spite Of
this fact and in spite of the much higher
cost of material, the price of the White
truck is only 10 per cent more than it
was in 1914. The reason is directly and
wholly due to the fact that elrployer
and employees have conscientiouslv
worked out together and are loyally
carrying out together an increasingly
ethcient system of production that has
resulted in a tremendously larger mar
gin of profit, which they are sharing
fairly with the public and each other.
For years hundreds of large indus
trial concerns, with large numbers of
regular employees, have been striving
along many lines toward building up
in their own organizations better rela-
tions with their employees and co0pcra-
tive efficiency systems for increasing the

The Old Trick Again

As the crowd checred at Lafayette,
Ind, Mr.. Cox said that he wanted
to state frankly his own position,
and then declared:
Il am with all my heart and soul
i'll favor of the League Of Nations of
the world"
So Hiram johnson also declares.
So has William E. Borah declared.
Only after the question is asked,
"What league?" does argument be-
gin.
Mr.. Cox is at an old trick-the
trick Of trying to confuse voters so
they will not distinguish between q
league and the league. Is it not time
to "can" this device of deceit? 1t no
longer fools many.
Wiggling and wabbling Mr.. Cox,
all things to all men, has not yet
ventured to make specific his
league prescription. Pretending to
be frank, he is the contrary.

State Rights and the Railroads

The state railway commissions
are challenging the right of the Fed
cral Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to regulate intrastate rates
when the latter tend to disorganize
interstate traffic. They make a poor
argument, however, in the brief
which they have submitted to the
Interstate Commerce Commission
through their counsel.
This brief charges that the car
riers are engaged in "a deliberate
plan to deprive the people of this
country of rights and liberties which
have heretofore been an inscparable
incident to self government The
carriers can hardly be accused of
having influenced Congress to pro-
tect them by breaking down OBJ
stacles to the uniform operation of
a nationwide railroad system. Con-
gress has shown little tenderness for
the railroads. 1t merely wrote into
the Esch-Cummins act the substance
Of Supreme Court decisions empha-
sizing the paramount Federal con-
troll Of transportation. The rail
roads are a public instrumentality.
The government regulates their op-
Grafton for the benefit Of the nation
as a whole. In trying to standardize
rates as far as possible it is only
carrying out the intention of the
Constitution to remove disturbing
local restrictions on the freedom and
ease of interstate intercourse.
The courts and the new railroad
law put the interest of the people as
a whole above the interest of groups
intent on local advantage at the ex-
pense Of other groups Railroad
regulation by forty-eight separate
state commissions can result only in
confusion and harmful friction. We
have long outgrown parochial mul-
tiple control. The railway system
is tending to become a nationalized
unit. The state commissions natu-
rally combat that tendency because
their own power is involved. But
the power they have enjoyed has
been usually applied to retard gen
eral railroad development rather
than to promote it. They stand in
the way of results from which all
users Of railroads would benefit.
The appeal they make to the
state rights doctrine has little merit.
No state can afford nowadays to trv
TO be law unto itself in railroad
regulation. All for one and one for
all IS The better rule. The interest
OF each state is best served by con-
forming intrastate regulation to in
terstate regulation.

may be counted on to resist to the
uttermost the plan to turn Germany
loose.
This country also has its respon-
sibilities. Its self-appointed spokes-
man had the unenviable distinction
of first forcing a break in the war
entente, whose loyal continuance
would have guaranteed peace. It's
influence was thrown to the side
which preached that the chief bust
ness of the peace conference was to
prevent France, Italy, Great Britain
and Germany from becoming too
"imperialistic." Later Americas s
spokesman somewhat modified his
conceptions, but the harm had been
done. The crevicc was opened into
which German diplomacy and propa-
ganda have since been steadily ham,
mering wedges.
Talk of league Of peace is idle
if the war entente cannot be kept
together. The United States, act
ing through an administration
which would not call our partners
allies, was the first to veto con-
tinuance of the alliance. Then Italy
was split off. Now if Great Britain
and France go separate ways the
world will be back about where it
was in 1914.

The Wreckers

If Mr.. Wilson had not insisted on
the acceptance of his covenant,
Article x and all, it would have been
approved by the Senate. So Mr..
Taft is right when he says that it
was not the Senate but the Presi-
dent who wrecked the league.
Not until Mr.. Wilson declared that
Article X was the heart of the cove
nant and ordered his tame Senators
to vote against any ratification that
modified it did his plan become dead.
1t is Mr.. Wilson, not the Senate,
that has kept US out of peace.
1t is Mr.. Wilson, not the Senate,
who, to quote his own phrase, ""has
broken the heart Of the world"
And Mr., Cox, in adopting Mr.. Will
sons policy, line for line and letter
for letter, pledges himself to con-
tinue the quarrel that makes any
effort to restore the country to
peace basis impossible.
Article X will not be accepted by
the American people. Every cleo
ton where it has been an issue has
proved that Even Georgia refuses
to follow Mr.. Wilson's leadership
that far.
Mr.. Cox, knowing perfectly well
that Mr.. Wilson is responsible for
the wreck of the league, pledges him
self, not to a course Of action that
will be approved by the Senate and
the American people, but to a policy
they can not and will not accept.
Yet it is possible, to quote Lin
coin, to fool some of the people
all of the time, and a few strag-
glers have gone to Cox on the theory
that thereby they are promoting a
league. But it is not possible, to
quote Lincoln again, to fool all of
the people all the time. 1t is plain
to the great masses thai the Wilson,
Cox program holds out little hope to
the peace leaguers.

There IS another very simple Logical

Of all our strikes-those which have

labor leaders and to labor chauvinism
and that is to withdraw from labor

Great labor organizations to-day
as has already been shown and en-
phasized are doing exactly what the
great trusts were attempting to do a
generation ago and what the Sherman
antitrust law vas passed TO prohibit
their doing namely, to get such d
monopoly control in different indus
tries as would make it possible fOr
them for their own interest to shut Of
or curtail supply and thus unfairly
raise prices to the public. AS mat

You can tell generally what an off,

making the further observation, "Who
are backing Hughes 2" All the fnanciers
who are reaping big percentages from
Europe's financial pinch.
All the combinations Of steelmakers
lronmakers, copper producers, oil pro-
duccrs, cannon and shot makers that
are making millions on millions because

is there an intelligent German
American who can force himself to be-
iovc that Hughess backing of million
makers would let him destroy the very
condition through which they make
their enormous profits?

Protection Against Monopoly

If the Sherman antitrust law as IN
terpreted by the Supreme Court ap-
piled to labor organizations to-day, the
coal miners union could not have 8
monopoly control in the coal industry
that would make it possible to stop
practically every mine in the country,
and other great industries could not
be so dominated by self-seeking labor
organizations that the production
and distribution Of many Of the most
important necessaries of life could at
any time be shut Off from the whole
people at their mere whim.
AS it has been applied by the courts,
the Sherman antitrust law has pro-
tccted the public against monopoly and
the evils Of monopoly control in any
industry, so far as great corporations
are concerned but it has not only not
interfered with legitimate business op-
erations, but has in the long run
helped, rather than hindered, the very
type Of organization against which it
was directed, and which at first fough'
it most bitterly.
The Sherman antitrust law would
undoubtedly have exactly the same ei-
feet if applied to the great monopoly
labor organizations to-day; and NOT
only would the public gain tremen-
dously by being protected from tas
great, nationwide strikes that paralyEe
whole industries, but the labor organi-
cations themselves would soon develop
a healthier growth, which would ben
eft the average worker as much as |"
would the public.
