Is Germany Going Bolshevik2

If bolshevism succeeds in gaining
foothold in Germany, what will be the
RESULT No man can tell how far this
influence would spread. and it is not
to be denied that the possibility is
viewed with anxiety in London and
Paris. Behind the present disorders
that are prevailing throughout Ger
many is undoubtedly the Spartacan
influence that caused the troubles of
mems councils are being organized on
the soviet plan. A yeritable soviet
republic has been proclaimed at Hof,
in northeastern Bavaria. The Ebert
government, in calling the general
strike as a weapon against the Kapp
reaction. may have lighted a fuse
leading to a powder magazine.
If the Spartacan influence prevails
in Germany and all government is
overthrow the allies must act. For
it is virtually assured that one of the
first moves of bolshevik government
east of the Rhine will be reputation
of the treaty, with its onerous eco
nomic liabilities. France could not
look with any confidence whatever to
a bolshcvised Germany for reparations
and indemnities.

Mr.. Clark's Decision.

Champ Clark again decides wisely in
the matter of his public usefulness.
As between the House and the Senate
he chooses the former. He made the
same choice at the time of Senator
Stones death. Then the Governor of
Missouri, who had the right of ap-
pointment, offered him the place, but
he preferred to remain where he was
At that time he was Speaker of the
House. Now he is the minority leader
"a place which under the new order
of things is more important than the
speakership.
If the next House is democratic Mr.
Clark will probably be Speaker again !;
if republican. minority leader again.
In either place he will possess an in
dividuality, so to say, he could not
hope for at the start as a member of
the Senate. And individuality is
much in public life.
Mr.. Clark has had his training as
legislator in the House. He knows,
and has pulled, all the ropes in that
body His talents are we'll suited to,
and he likes. the House atmosphere
and procedure. He is ready in debate.
The cut and thrust House stylc-which
is. a little more energetic--turbulen
if you will-than the Senate style
develops him at his best. AS long as
he remains in the House he will con-
tinue to be a prominent and influcn-
Evening star., 1920-03-17

tial figure there. And unless q re-
publican wave sweeps Missouri and
the country next fall he will probably
be reelected.
The next Congress will be charged
with much important business. The
present Congress can but make start
with reconstruction. Some steps can
not now be taken. What is done will
depend, of course, upon the November
result. The republican party and the
democratic party are not travelling the
same road-not stepping in the same
direction.
But whichever party controls on
Capitol Hill after March Of next
year will face card which VIII keep
it busy. Opportunities for legislators
with ideas and the knack of present
ing them cogently and persuasively
will be numerous. Young men striv-
ing for. their first notice. and older
men desireus Of adding to regulations
already established. will have every
incentive to do their best.
Tho situation IL generally appre-
ciatcd. Seats in tho Senate and in tho
House are being sought by men Of high
quality everywhere. The vacancy in
the Senate occasioued by Mr.. Bank
heads death has stirred the ambition
Of half dozen democrats of local con-
sequence. The money rewards Of pri-
vate life are unprecedentcdly large now,
but the lure Of office is still strong,
fortunately for the country. We need
the best men available for all the
ommissions, executive. legislative and
Judicial, and we ought to pay them
salaries associablc with the services
we ask and expect them to perform.

Unity for Enfranchisement.

Washington's protest against con
mass meeting last night at Central
High School, was pitched in terms Of
demand for the enactment of con
stitutional amendment granting ma
tional representation in Congress and
the electoral college. The organiza
tion formed at that meeting was given
a mandate to work to that end.
From various points of view the
status and claims of the District citi-
zens were presented in an impressive
manner. Former Speaker Clark ad-
dressed the case from the standpoint
of the national legislator, charged by
the Constitution with the dual duty
of caring for his own local constitu-
ency and for the National Capital.
Samuel Gompers voiced the demand
of organized labor for the bestowal
upon the District Of the basic right
of American citizenship. Col. E. Les
ter Jones expressed the sentiment of
the service men who fought for de-
mocracy in the great war. Z. ]. Biller
defined the interest of the govern
ment employees. the largest single
group Of Washingtonians. Miss Mary
OToole, appropriately, spoke for the
women of the country at large, as we'll
as of Washington.
Union upon the single purpose Of
obtaining national enfranchisement
was the keynote of the addresses de-
livered- There may be differences of
judgment as to the order of procedure,
but the most gratifying feature of the
meeting last night was the fact that
those differences are now subordinated
to the one desire for securing the
greatest degree of enfranchisement,
which will give the people of the eapi-
tai direct and full representation in
Congress, and, therefore, in the enact
ment of the laws under which they
live, as well as a share in the selec-
ton of national executive.
Especially significant and hearten-
ing is the assurance that SO influential
member Of Congress a Champ Clark
has declared his adherence TO this pro-
gram and given assurance of his sup
port Of the constitutional amendment.
1t may be difficult, as Mr.. Clark says,
to amend the Constitution. But diff
culties should be but spur to the
people of the capital and their friends
in the states, who sincerely deplore
the voteless condition of the District.
United effort should yield results in
the adoption Of the twentieth amend
ment in record time.

The West and the Presidency.

The country beyond the Mississippi
the whole expanse was known for a
long time as "the west"-has come to
figure very prominently in the presi-
Dental equation.
Take the present situation. On the
republican side Senator BOrah of
Idaho, Senator johnson of California.
Senator Poindexter of Washington,
Senator Capper and Gov Allen of Kan
sas are all mentioned for the Chicago
nomination. Gen. Wood, although
eastern born, derives much of his
prominence and popularity from his
long residence in the west, while
Ger. Pershing is credited both to Mis-
souri,. where he was born, and to Ne
braska. which he now claims as his
home.
On the democratic side Mr.. Clark
of Missouri, and Mr.. Bryan and Sena-
tor Hitchcock of Nebraska, are men
toned for the San Francisco nomina-
ton.
Mr.. Hoover of California enjoys the
distinction of being mentioned in con,
ncction with both nominations. As
he has not taken sides-in fact, he has
refused to do so as matters stand
tie popular impression is that with
aplatform constructed to suit him
ne would accept either nomination.
The small state of Nebraska, it will
lie observed, furnishes three of these
mcn-M-. Bryan, Mr.. Hitchcock and
Gen. Pershing. She is great little
state, and is brackcted with Kansas as
= arisk onmon~ca!th, of kospitable

Il was Mr.. Bryan who put the ives,
on this map. Prior to 1896 she had

mission. ssat they had not been boom
cd for the presidency. They had
seemed As without that sort of honor
in their own country.
But at Chicago twenty four years
ago. Mr.. Bryan, young man of thirty
six, who had just reached the constitu-
tional age, came forward and took a
national convention by storm. Four
years later he was named for the
presidency again. and eight years
later still named for the honor the
third time. And four years after that.
at Baltimore, he named the candidate.
Well, the west, speaking broadly, is
a stirring section of the United States.
It has a good deal to show for its en-
ergies and efforts. Its men and
women have done wonders in the way
Of state building. Look at their work.
Consider how much they have con
tributed to the present wealth and
strength of the country. The section
beyond the Mississippi is rich in
everything, and destined to be much
richer.
With every reason, therefore, the
west will be very prominent at both
national conventions this year. One
Of them, out Of compliment to her,
lis TO be held within her borders; and
if at either Of them one of her sons
is chosen to lead his party, she will be
the theater Of great contest.

Bloodshed in Germany.

Suspicion attaches to much Of the
news that is coming from Berlin re-
garding the progress and status of
the German revolution. A censorship
has been established there under the
direction Of the notorious Lincoln. who
figured here and in London in espion-
age activities during the war. He ap-
pears to have been named news man
ager of the Kapp government, and it
now is plain that no reliance can be
placed in the messages that are al
lowed to come directly from the CAPT
tai.
Reports of compromise between
the. Ebert and the kapp factions
proves to be unfounded. The Ebert
government is still established at
Stuttgart and has rejected ali over
lures for settlement, relying upon the
effect of the general strike to bring
the Kapp regime to an end. kapp has
failed to form a ministry. His de-
cision to resign is reported. Hinden-
burg, it is reported, has refused his
support, though Ludendorff has ap-
parently aligned himself with kapp.
Though starting blood!essly the
revolution is now taking on a most
sinister aspect. Rioting is occurring
in many cities. Conflicts between
troops and strikers have resulted in
the death of scores. At Kiel a cruiser
has shelled the quarters Of the work
men opposed to the Kapp government
and 400 are reported killed and many
others wounded. Also at Kiel in a
fight for control Of the arsenal 200
are reported dead. Thus the casualties
are beginning to mount into high fig
ures.
Il the Kapp government collapses
under the economic pressure of the
strike and a Lack of general support,
the Ebert government will doubtless
resume control. But it is not assured
that Germany will remain intact. A
disposition toward separation has pre-
vailed since the war ended, and it is
now indicated that Bavaria, Wurttem-
berg and some of the other states will
demand autonomy, whatever the re-
organization effected.
Sharply conflicting statements have
como respecting the aims and afilia-
tions Of the reactionaries who consti-
tute the Kapp revolutionary move
ment. Kapp has himself explicitly de-
MED monarchical or militaristic inten-
tiops. On the other hand, Won Luett-
WITT is quoted by a member of the
Ebert government as having as e1-
plicitly avowed his intention to ignore
the treaty requirement for reduction
of the German army as the first step
toward preparing for "the next war"
The separation of Hindenburg and
Ludendorf, who have heretofore been
generally Of the Same mind, may be
explained on the ground that Hin
dsnburg is actually presidential can
didate and is, therefore, with political
provision, holding aloof from a move
ment that is distinctly opposed by the
socialist and middle class groups.

PEACE is NECESSARY
MADoo ASSERTS

NEW YORK, Nov. William G. !
McAdoo former secretary of the treas
ury, in a statement Monday night
commenting on the result of the ma
tionnl election, declared that what the
country needs Is subsistence of the
passions and haiTeds engendered byl
the war and the partisan political APP
pcals that have followed. The state
ment says;
at is of no value 10 try 10 explain
the causes of the democratic defeat
November ID. The overwhelming re-
publican victory has given that party
the presidency, and both houses of
the congress, After March 4th next
IL will have entire responsibility for
the policies and administrator of the
government and cannot eyade or exc
cuse IFS failure 10 perform the prom
iscs il has made 10 the country. Under
our political system IL is always better
70 have one party control nt Washing
ton than 10 have divided authority.
What the country imperatiyely needs
now Is subsistence of the passions and
hatreds engeudered by the war and
partisan political appeals that have
followed. We are sick of political
SANDER and controversies, We want
domestic as we'll as international
peace aud want restoration Of that
fine spirit of cooperation whichmade
America inyincible in war. We face
domestic and international problems
of great gravity. The only way TO
solve them is through cooperation.
The highest duty of the leaders Of
both parties is, therefore, 10 promote
better feeling among all classes of our
people, 10 refrain from unworthy. APP
peals to class and racial prejudice ana
10 bring To bear upon our serious
problems that dispassionate ond in
telligent concern through which alone
there is promise of genuine pulAc
service.
"The democratic party has suffer
ed n severe, but not a disastrous de-
feat. II is far from dead; 1t is not
even seriously wounded. Throughout
our history overwhelming political
reyerses have been followed by eX-
traordinaary political recoveries. So
long as the democratic party is true
to its mission of service to the com
mon people it will live. What We
must do now is to build up and
strengthen the party organization

GREAT RESPONSIBILITY

Representative Fcss, chairman of the

placing upon the party the greatest

opinion that most of the coming scs-
sion will be- devoted to appropriation
measures and to the preparation of
legislation for the special session.
Fcss thinks that the first thing the
republicans should undertake Is TO cN-
net tax economies in every direction,
the reduction of unnecessary places,
the adjustment Of duplicating bu-
rcaus and above all, refusal TO in
crease the expenses of government in
