There is abundance of votes in the
senate for the adoption of the Knox
peace resolution, according to admis-
sions by leaders Of all factions. Doubt
is expressed that an opportunity will
he presented for utilizing these votes.
The general opinion prevails that the
democrats will debate the resolution
to the point Of filibustering. This will
be done to save the president from
necessity of vetoing a proposition for
the restoration Of ~peace.-Washington
Dispatch.
1t is not uncommon for the minority
of the senate to resort to filibustering
to defeat some measure that it can
not defeat legitimately. Filibustering
is simply the employment of dilatory
tactics, such as making longwinded
speeches and frequent moti0ns-any-
thing to Obstruct proceedings and kill
time. There is no party politics in
fi~libustering, as members Of all
parties resort to it upon occasion. But
the majority is to blame for permit
ting such proceedings and they are
permitted through fear that senator
ial dignity" whatever that may mean,
may get a shock by limiting debate and
making the majority master Of the sit
uation under all circumstances. The
senate rules ought to be revised and
the filibuster deposited in the scrap
heap. A leader in the senate like the
late Thomas 3. Reed, with a majority
to back him, is needed. Without argu-
ing for or against the peace declara-
ton, it may be insisted upon that the
majority ought to rule and that no
methods should be permitted that will
enable the minority to defeat the will
of the majority. If the republican
majority in the senate doesn't possess
the good sense and the stamina to
knock this filibustering beast in the
head it deserves to be under the steam
roller operated by the minority. Is

FRANCE STILL OUR FRIEND.

France is no doubt irritated at the
course of events in America leading up
to a failure to ratify the p~eace-league
treaty with or without reservations,
but France is still our friend and has
confidence in this nation. Hon. w. ID.
Boise, member of Congress from the
18th district of Iowa, in a recent adj
dress in the house favoring the resOlu-
ton to declare peace with Germany
quoted from the Paris Matin, one of
the most influential newspapers OF
France and one that usually voices the
sentiment of the French people, as fol
lows:
"At the most troubled moment in
history America has a sick president,
an amateur secretary of state, and no
treaty of peace. A president in the
clouds, Il secretary of state in the
bushes, and IA treaty in the cabbage
patch. What a situation! However,
America is America that is to say
our great sister nation which has our
love and eternal confidence. Colby or
10 Colby, treaty or no treaty, the
American people know that we call
them friends.
1T is only a little longer that a
sick man will be able to keep the
cloud in the sky above the two sister
republics. And soon there will be a
secretary of state with whom Europe
can speak and whom we car under
stand. France needs no written guar
anty to know that America will send
her boys again if we are menaced as
we were in 1913. and let America know
that we send another Lafayette if she

1t used to he the custom OF the ban
dts and robbers of Morocco and Alger-
III to attack merchants while transport
ing their goods to points where they
were to he sold, and take such portions
AS they desired. However, the robbers
had an eye for business and did not
take everything from the merchants,
leaving them enough to sell SO they
could come back and buy more, when
the thieves would have another chance.
1t appears that the sugar thieves, the
lumber thieves. the leather thieves and
numerous other thieves in the United
States are pursuing the policies of
these Moroccan and Algerian free
hooters. These later day pirates are
not taking all the American people
have. They are leaving enough to in
sure some picking next year, and for
this consideration perhaps we should
all be thankful. However, when the
old-time robbers were Overpowered,
which happened once in a while, they
were severely dealt with and not one
of the band was left to fell the tale.

lievc is going to be the nominee of the

Quoting his campaign upon Il high plane
and is making Il good impression all

man of great good sense, well balanced,
conservative without retr0gression,
progressive without radicalism, and
withal Il safe, sane, careful, sagacious
leader. Up one side and down the

The support of Hearst is injuring
Senator johnson in many localities
and aiding him in others. Many think
the senator must be a bad man to
secure the favor of Hearst, but that is
not necessarily true. Hearst is bitter
against Wilson and the League OF
Nations and Johnson is in the same
boat. Hearst believes the election OF
johnson would be a bitter pill to Mr..
Wilson, more bitter than the election
Of any other republican, and we may
believe that has no little influence in
determining the course of the Hearst
publications in the primary campaign.
However, if johnson is nominated we
believe Hearst will Loyalty support him
and his support will add immensely to
the johnson strength i'll the. east,
though it might lose him votes in the
west.

There is altogether to much reli-
ance put upon legislation to cure eco
nomic ills. Some people, apparently,
think that if congress and the admin
'istration would enact this law or re-
peal that one a remedy would be
found to pull the country out of the
condition in which it has settled. Leg
islation may be beneficial in some
directions. but only industry, frugality
and the square deal will work out the
salvation of the people. Legislation
cannot take the place Of work and laws
cannot neutralize the effects of waste
and extravaganza. Until the people
get ready to pick up the thread Of in
dustry where they laid it down at the
outbreak of the war there will be no
permanent Improvement.

SOME REMINDERS.

Vice President Marshall may not be
a great statesman or a great man, but
has the faculty of speaking truths in
a plain manner upon the right Oc-
%casion. He gave an illustration of that
fact at a recent interchurch world
movement mass meeting in Washington
and his cutting shafts must have made
those who knew they were guilty vince
unless their consciences are scared te-
lyond repair.
After 4 few preliminary remarks
complimentary to everybody concerned
and especially to those present, which
seldom mean anything and + seldom
taken seriously, Mr.. Marshall uttered
la few sentences out of the ordinary
and put his finger upon the sorest spot
in the church. He said the chuIch
must prove its work by its faith and
I"it is idle to legislate for purity if
the preacher, above his book, is to lecr
at his neighbours wife, If none are
guilty none need heed. st is vain to
|enact laws" continued the vice presi-
dent, IF the elders are to continue to
work little children to death. 1t is
useless to forbid larceny when the
ldeacons make large church contribu-
tons out of excess profits wrung joint
ly from labor and the ultimate consnm-
ler.''
Mr.. Marshall told the audience that
the church, with a complacent smile,
had turned oyer to the state the en-
lforcement of the moral law and that
the state had failed, while the man on
the street sneered.
Wake, o Zion, and if you really be-
lieve in the communion of the saints,
prove it by consistent conduct" Mr..
Marshall said, This is, no holicr than
thou message. l myself am Il sinner"
''The man on the street is not tired
of the words of the NaZarene. When
the church takes back the disciplin-
ing Of the moral and religious life of
its members, when it trains up its
children with fixed views, when it
proves it's faith in the communion of
the saints by its works, its courts will
be thronged with worshipers and
there will be no need for patchwork
Legislation to reconcile labor and cap
ital, nation and nation.
This, o God, make the supreme de-
sire and the one motive of all those
engaged in this great movement. If
it be not, then our money might as well
be spent upon'a Roman holiday"

Senator johnson and Gen. Wood are
the leaders i'll the republican primaries,
but that doesn't necessarily mean that
either II will be nominated. The
candidate who has the largest number
of second choice delegates stands TO
win and it looks as though Coy.
Lowden is the leader in this respect.
The fight between Wood and Johnson
is SO strenuous and bitter that it is
unlikely that either. CAL secure. much
support from the other. This situation
is satisfactory to the Freeman:JO our
nal, though it believes Gen. Wood
would make a great president and it
could support him with enthusiasm.

gan. To illustrate: Last week d bunch
of self-appointed democratic -bosses'

trade had at least doubled meantime.
Yet the Indications today are that the
total value of merchandise sent from
Europe to the United States in the
fiscal year which ends next month will
be three times as much as in the i'm
mediately preceding fiscal year and ac-
tually greater in value than in any
year in the history of Jul trade.
This tremendous INCREASE in our inn
ports from Europe in the current fiscal
year as compared with the year i'm
mediately preceding occurs chiefly in
luxuries, but includes also certain
products of the European colonies HOW
reaching up, by way of the mother
country. Instead 70 direct as during
the war. Among the luxuries in which
the great increase occurs are diamonds,
art works, laces and embroideries,
silks, high grade cotton and wooden
goods, kid gloves, and olive oil, while
the colonial products now reaching us
by way of Europe include india-rubber,
jute, wool, furs, hides and skins, and
raw cotton.
In many instances the increase, es-
pecially OF the luxury side of the
statement, is very large. Diamonds
for example imported in the eight
- 80
months ending with February, 1920,
practically all Of them from Europe,
amounted to $4S, 10000 in value,
against $5,3OO,OO in the same months
of last year; art works, brought chief
ly from Europe $21.715,OOO against
|$2,S5O,000; cotton laces and embroid-
cries $7,SOO,0OO against $3,2OO,OOO;
silk laces and embrOideries in the cur
rent year $4,312,OOO against $1,4S0,-
900; walnuts from France and italy
$6,O5O,000 against $310,OOO; olive oil
from France, ITALY and Spain, $10,-
100000 against 1898 900; silk fabrics
50, 10000 aginst $1,000; silk wear
ing apparel $2,O5O,OOO against $780,
900; and raw silk, $23,OO7 900 against
$4,000. One class Of articles which
falls outside the luxury list is burlaps,
brought from the United Kingdom but
manufactured from East Indian jute,
valued at $9,33O,OOO against $1,550,OOO
in the same months of last year.

A number of the cities Of the coun-

crease in their population as shown
by the census just taken. But quality
is what really counts. One good cit

Frank A. Munsey, the well known
New York publisher, predicts that the
