DISMEMBERMENT OF AUSTRIA.

Grave symptoms of dismemberment
are being manifested within the Aus
trian Republic. This is curiously CO
incident with the voyage Ito Paris of
Mr.. Renner. and the Chancellor might
be interrogated on this subject. Did
he come to paris because misery was so
prevalent in Austria that the Hereditary
Provinces" were about to fall away from
Vienna, starving Capital? Or, rather,
is the movement of disintegratiOn accele-
rated by Mr.. Renner's voyage? The
distinction is not without interest.
Day before yesterday the 1yrolean
Diet demanded, by unanimous vote,
il is said, an economic" alliance OF this
Province with Germany. When, recently,
the Berlin Government imposed upon the
citizens Of the Empire patriotic sacrifice
TO fifty gramrnes Of bread for the starving
Austrians, this was not romantic act.
1t was an investment. The resolution of
the Tyrolean Diet shows that the invest
ment was wise one.
IL is already foreseen in Vienna that
separatism may extend to other Provinces.
Before Tyrol, VorarlbeTg had given AN
example Vorarlberg, by virtue of it's
Swiss affinities, wishes TO become a Canton
of the Helvetic Confederation. A plebe-
scite, which revealed among other things
the existence Of strong Pan-Germanistie
minority. pronounced itself IN this sense.
Should Switzerland admit these postu-
lanfs. or should she notY Upon this
question, our neIghbOrs are divided.
Those who are partIsans of expansion by
the voluntary union of Yorarlberg, ad-
vance as many arguments as those who
do not want it. They furnish, particular
ly from a French point Of view, arguments
of general European interest. IF Switz-
erland." thew say, docs not unite with
Vorarlberg, Germany will not hesitate to
do so. lis it not better that the Helvetic
Confederation should have one Canton
more and the Empire one country less?"
1t goes without saying that, If the dis
solution Of Austria were an accomplished
and irremediable fact, the union with
Switzerland would be preferable to the
one with Germany. But we have no
choice, because the question can not be
opened by us, nor even with our consent,
If we were 10 admit for the lielyetic Con-
federation the right of moral annexations"
1t would be necessary TO admit 1T Tor the
Germans, by whom this euphemism was
invented IL is also true that at Berne
they realize that such step would carry
with it a heavy responsibility. 1t remains
to be seen whether events are not going
TO take upon themselves responsibility
of creating new situations.
Is Austria capable Of life? And if she
is not, to what degree will the Europe
of Treaties, the Europe fashioned at Yer
sailles and at Saint German, be? II
the chain of the collar which the confer
ence has placed around Germany snaps
at Vienna, who will give assurance that
thsother States of which ii is formed will
not follow

Remember the Facts.

There should he no forgetting the fact
that in resuming its sittings after the
HOLIDAYS, the Republican Congress began
the second month of it's regular session
faced by all the big problems that pressed
{ solution in the extraordinary SESSION.
Much time has been wasted; little has
been accomplished.
With Presidential campaign only q
few months distant there is every hkeh-
hood that the Republican leaders viii
attempt to evade and temporze, lest
their political chances be affected by
their votes on vital legislation. Courage
and unselfshness will be required 10 deal
with many of the important propositions
which are pending in this Congress.
Partisan considerations viii have TO be
ianored If the country is to have the action
which its needs demand.
Taxation Is one subject which cannot
hb safely considered from the viewpoint
OF partisanship. II must have attention,
n nevertheless, and the Republican majority
know il is a delicate question. Judging
from the recent past the Republican
managers of Congress will undertake to
defer as long as possible any enactment
looking to q reduction or a revision Of
present taxes.
Some disposition Of the railroads will
have to be made, but that, too, is likely
I'd be modelled according to the exigencies
Of Republican politics rather than IN
response to public necessity. Adequate
provision for soldiers and sailors who
fought in the World War has not been
made by the Republican Congress, mott
wtthstanding many boasts and promises
by leaders of the G. o. p. The former
fighters viii doubtless learn that it was
their votes that were sought and not Their
welfare.
There is only one sort Of activity that
can be expected of the regular session Of
this Republican Congress. That rs a
constant opposition TO the President and
a continuance of the Investigations
from which the leaders Of the Senate and
the House Of Representatives hope, not
for reform or improvement, but for
ndtoriety for themselves and publicity
for their party.

Playing with + Boomerang.

Some Of the tactics being employed by
the House Of Representatives Of the
United States in vegard to the bills now
before it aimed Mt the punishment Of
scdition arc not such as 10 call for com
mendation. Ten days or more ago, the
Senate passed the Sterling bill, which
hits the sedition monger-and perhaps
Others as well, because of its vague and
loose provisions--hard enough in all
conscience. The judiciary committee OF
Che House was not satisfied with this
measure, il sccrns, nor did it have sufii-
cient courage to propose fair fight with
the Senate over the question. Instead
of proposing its own bill and courtlng a
fair and open fight it amended the Sterling
bill by striking out everything after tho
tnacting clause and substituting the bill
prepared by Congressman Graham and
Attorney Genera Palmer--a Tar more
drastic measure, one which imposes the
death penalty in some eases and, among
other things, empower the Postmaster
General to institute n censorship over
any persons private mail.
The effect OF these tactics is that, IN
case the House should pass this decidedly
alarming measure, it would not go to the
Senate for debate, but would go Mt once
10 conference before the conference
committee appointed by the two bodies.
The Senate would thus have no oppor-
tunity TO discuss the bill except upon
the report of the conference committee,
which il would have either TO accept or
TO reject, but which it could not modify
In other words, the House Judiciary com
mittee wants to put the Senate in a hole.
Such antics are not very creditahie on
the part of one of the branches OF Con-
gress, and especially is this so when the
subject matter of this legislative Jockey
ing is one of such supreme Importance
a bill which continues MIR. Burleson S
wartime powers and which makes nim
the censor over personal correspondence
and the contents of newspapers as well,
is one which should be thoroughly aired
before passage. Any disposition on the
part Of professional politicians to choke
off debate on such a measure is sure 70
be hotly contested. Also. il will oper-
ate to defeat the main purpose, the chok-
ing Of anarchy. These gentlemen are
playing with boomerang, which surely
viii react The country earnestly de-
sires legislation that will insure adequate
and prompt punishment of anarchsn
and treason. But it will not stand for
an abrogation Of the rights OF citizens as
guaranteed by the Constitution.

BETTER DAYS.

A better time is coming am
quite sure of thIs--when YOU will see
me drumming my Tyre in perfect
bliss; the Reds, who claim attention,
will be too scarce to mention, the
serpent of dissension will be too weak
TO hiss. We all are growing saner
with every passing day, the evidence
grows palmer that pipe dreams fade
away; and soon we'll stand and
wonder why in the name of thunder
we tried to tear asunder the things
that ought to stay. You'll see us
backward gazing and viewing, with
tear, our antics most amazing, IN
one unholy year, when we were all
demented, distraught and diseon-
tented, and every day invented new
kinds of doubt and fear And, on the
heights of reason, we'll mutter,
Can it be, that through one god
less season no dome from bats was
free? o, can it be we ranted, and
elamored to have planted in this
fair land enchanted, fake kinds of
liberty?" Slow, slow has been the
waking from wild and bughouse
dreams, but now the morn is break
ing, and sunlight on US streams; and
as the morn advances We'll come
forth from our frances, while yet
our eagle prances and fills the air
with screams.
