MErnop1sTs AND THE LEAGUE.

The Methodist church is not a po-
litica-body, and its pronouncements
on matters affecting International poll
tics may be taken as merely incl
dental or supplementary to its real
work. But, like other church organ
izations, it takes "A profound interest
in all matters pertaining to good
government and the maintenance OF
peace. Like, other great religious
bodies. it has displayed great inter-
est in the formulation of terms of
peace with Germany, and especially
in the creation of a League of Ma
tons.
1t is interesting, therefore, to note
the character of resolutions placed
by the committee in charge before
the present general conference now
in session lat Des Moines.~ The COM
mittee was divided as to the best
course to pursue in making a recon-
mendation with reference to an APP
peal to our government advising a
course of action in relation to the
League Of Nations. The majority
favored an endorsement Of the
League of Nations. with a econ
m%endation to the president and con
gress to get together on a program
of action. The minority proposed
hat the president be asked to resub-
nit the matter to congress with such
notifications as will insure adoption.
minority
1t will be noted hat both the ma
jority and minority accept the fact
that the ratification of the treaty as
written is impossible, and both groups
urge that such steps be taken as will
insure ratification in some form.
We believe hat in this attitude the
Methodist conference represents the
settled opinion of a very large ma
jority Of the American people. We
have to do with concrete facts. Many
would have been glad to have the
treaty ratified without change, not
thatiit is flawless, but hat on the
whole it represents a substantial ad-
vance, and the element of time is
important. The people wish the wal

DANGEROUS MUD SINGING.

This is a good time for every cam
paign manager, every political speak
er or writer. to resolve that he or she
will abstain from the malicious type
Of personal assaults upon rival can
didates. S~elf-respect should compel
this, but in any case self-interest must
commend such restraint to persons of
judgment. At a recent Indiana rally
one speaker is quoted as having at
tackled General Wood upon a pre-
posterous hypothesis. rejecting on
his personal honor.
The false and injurious assumption
was very properly Missed. 1t is likely
hat speakers who .habitually make
such remarks will find themselves
without dates. Chairman Will Hays
of the Republican national committee
announced long g a policy Of prin-
ciples not personalities, so far. az his
conduct Of affairs might extend. Col.
onel Theodore Roosevelt and othera
have made a number of admirable
statements. to the same effect. So
have leading Democrats.
We live in world of Individual
men. Ideas must be expressed
through personalities. 1t is perfectly
proper, indeed it Is absolutely vital,
to measure the personal gifts and Nc.
quirements of each candidate, to
point out the elements of leadership
in which a favored candidate may BIZ
strong or an opponent lacking.
But all this nay be done with cour.
tesy, and above all with care to avoid
either direct statements or implica.

kind of talk and resents il. Agar

TO @

Mr.. w. Jet Lauck, who Is described
as consulting economist for the rail-
road brotherhoods, is quoted as say
ing that $500 a year is necessary
for the support Of the American fam
lily of five, and in support of his esti-
mate presented. to the railway labor
board statistics compiled from many
sources, together'w with the conclusions
Of some of his predecessors in this
line of investigation.
There is nothing specially true
about MI. Lauck's estimate. Similar
compilations have been made scores
of times, and it is characteristic Of
such inquiries hat no matter what
target the investigator aims at, he
finds no difficulty in hitting it. 1t
would be Just as easy to prove that
the American family needs $1,000 or
$1,000 a year as that it needs the,
sum mentioned, by Mr.. Lauck. 1t all
depends on what is considered neces-
sary to the maintenance and well-be-
ing of the family.
For instance. 40 present a rather
modest bill of particulars, let us as
sumo that in order to meet the re-
qdirements Of decency and comfort
the family Of five must have a seven
room house, with full basement and
modern, but modest in all its appoint
sments. There should be a fifty foot
lot In order that there may be plenty
OF light and air, and the property
should be on a paved street, because
mud road is dirty and unsanitary.
There should be a maid, for no wom-
m should be expected to take care
OF three children. and do her own
housework, and there will also be
needed q man to do odd jobs, for the
head of the family cannot be expected
after working six or eight hours to
bother with the furnace. and the lawn
and the storm windows. He needs
the additional time for rest and
recr1Ation. for the cultivation of his
intellect and the study OF problems
or state. There will be needed a car.

TO the second annual convention OF the

general counsel ana secretary OF the
American Petroleum Institute, Will dis
cuss the gas oil scarcity.
Gas producers and consumers alike
are threatened by the scarcity ana
high price of gas OIL according to u.s.
ISOLATION delegates. Mr.. WEIGH will
discuss the problem from the viewpoint
OF those in the oil producing and re-
filming business lie has consented 10
answer questions that may be asked by
delegates. The great consumption Of
gasolene, particularly by motorists, is
reflected in the scarcity of gas oil. As
long as gas oil and coal are scarce the
manufacture of gas will prove so costly
that rates charged by public utility
corporations furnishing this commodity
TO the consumer must be Increased, ac-
cording to many of the delegates.
The question of rates will probably be
discussed BY clyde p. AItchison OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission, who
Is on the programme Wednesday
Thomas d. Miller Of the Consolidation
Goal Company, Baltimore, is prepared to
tell the delegates of the difficulties In
supplying the amounts OF coal needed by
gas producers. Mr.. Miller said yesterday
that the shortage Of cars and locomo-
tives Is q big factor in this problem.
How gas companies are to obtain re-
lief in rates and how they are to obtain
continued supply OF essential gas
making materials will be the subject in
general way of an address Wednesday
by Philip II. Gadsden of Philadelphia,
viee.presldent OF the United Gas I'M
provement Company and chairman or
the emergency committee of the asso-
citation. The report Of this committee Is
regarded as highly important to gas
companies.
George q. Cortelyou. president of the

An Objection TO Adding TO the Number

To TIE NEW YORK HERALD; The pro-

except the high cost OF Congress.

many Representatives OF certain sec
tions each bent on getting all he can

us make the first fight against the pro-
posal 10 add more members TO Con-

less expensive government but more
efficient government in short, less gov
eminent but better government.
