The action Of the New York legis-

not sanctioned by the constitution. nor
by those who believe in fair play.
The Socialists have revised their
platform, their tenets Of faith. and have
brought their belief into accord with
the institutions OF this government
Socialism is not anarchy or Bolshevism
1t is a political party that has grown
to some consequence, and like a great

Tho laws Of this country are suf-

1t Is crime TO he n Socialist, every

There is no difference in opinion

everyone admits and abhors.
In order 10 get this country on

Then another voice said.
Well. my Uncle Wiggdly lives in a

has windows and roof. and Nurse
Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy lives there. too"
But where do you live3" asked the
voice that had first spoken. DO you
live in stylish house like mine?"

his tail spread out so the sun shone on

Aland Island Dispute.

The decision Of the league Of nation.
TO attempt settlement of the Aland
island dispute between Sweden and
Finland has been hailed in some quar-
7 terH as a demonstration OF the efficacy
of the covenant for the prevention Of
war, but we doubt II the decision is
one that will favorably impress the
people Of the United States.
Finland contends that the Aland is-
land dispute Is domestic and not an
International question and that the
league OF nations has no Jurisdiction.
The council OF the league rejected the
Finnish contention and pronounced the
question international and appointed a
commission TO report findings rs the
basis OF a league decision TO award the
Island TO one nation or another. The
decision was based on article 10. which
provides III the dispute between the
parties is claimed by one OF them. and
as found by the council to arrive out
81 q matter which by international law
rs solely within the domestic jurisdic-
tion OF that party. the council shall so
report and shall make no recommends
~taQa as TO its settlement"
The decision OF the league gives no
guarantee that immigration is a domes-
tic question. Already there is a move
ment on foot by Japan TO bring the
immigration dispute with the United
States before the league Of nations II
Japan should take this step and the
league assume jurisdiction. the United
States would be invited to become a
member Of the league for the purpose
Of settling the dispute.
Should the United States accept the
invitation and assume membership OBJ
legations, and the council arrive at a
decision which does not meet the sane
ton Of the United States, the refusal
Of the United States to be bound by
the verdict would be an act Of war, not
only against Japan, but against all
members Of the league who are pledged
TO support one another financially and
economically. TO sever all trade and
financial relations, prohibit all inter-
course with this country and with all
other nations. whether members OF the
league or not
II the decision OF the council should

ton policy Of the United States, and

Der OF the league, undertake to accept

Gas and LAWYERS.

The difficulties of the gas company
seem to be multiplying. We do not
know what can be done for the remis-
sion Of its past sins, but In order 20
avoid further difficulties II might be
well for the bondholders, stockholders
and creditors 10 pool their assets and
turn them over TO the lawyers In full

The poor old gas company has law
yers as receivers and lawyers for the
receivers. There are lawyers repre-
penting the company In It's application
for higher rates. lawyers representing
the bondholders. lawyers representing
the stockholders. lawyers representing

city and lawyers representing the law
yers.
Each day finds new bevy OF law

Unless there is an extension Of service

Judge Mccall appointed Mr.. Rainier
and Mr.. Elgin receivers for the COM
pany. Mr.. William II. Fitzhugh was
appointed attorney for the receiving
attorneys. The Chamber OF Commerce
has suggested, and the city has con-
curred In the suggestion, that the re-
celvers should resign. No reason was
assigned for the accommodation. but
! tho public assumed that 1t was for the
purpose OF securing the appointment
of experienced gas and electric light
operatives in their places.
It now develops that the board Of
directors of the Chamber OF Commerce
desires the resignation OF the receivers
with tho understanding that Mr.. Fitz-
hugh be appointed In their place. Nat
urally the receivers have declined TO
resign. To do 90 would be admit their
1ailure. It would be humiliating TO
be removed.
Mr.. Fitzhugh very properly and truth
fully declares that he is not an APP
plicant for the job held by his clients.
Mr.. Fitzhugh's duty Is TO help his
clients succeed and not to succeed them
He appreciates the delicacy OF the situ-
alton that he has been placed In by
being advocated as the successor of
the gentlemen to whom no is giving le-
gal advice, and has made a statement
which shows that he is in no sense re-
epcnsible for the embarrassment caused
by his friends who remember so well.
and appreciate so greatly. the splendid
success he made Of the Chamber OF
Commerce when he was president.
Meanwhile nothing is being done by
Ehese different agencies for the public,
which is primarily interested in getting |
improved gas and electric service.
Il would be well for the city and tho |
Chamber OF Commerce TO accept the |
situation as they find II. and Co operate
with the present receivers in an effort |
TO get relief for the company and for
