COMING INTO THE OPEN

THE contention Of the underlying
- transit companies leased to the
p. r. I. seems to be that they are out
side Of the jurisdiction of the Public
Service Corporation.
They have secured a writ from Judge
Linn staying the proceedings of the
commission on the petition of the United
Business Mems Association for an in
vestigation into the validity of the
rentals until the courts can pass on
the question Of jurisdiction.
1t has commonly been supposed that
the Public Service Commission had
jurisdiction over every public service
corporation in the state. Attorneys for
some of the underlying companies, how
ever. have denied that these companies
rendered any public service. Perhaps
1t Is on that claim that they deny the
jurisdiction of the commission.
But we are in fair way to have the
whole question threshed out in the near
future. Then we shall understand just
what the legal status Of the underlying
companies is and what the powers of
the commission are. If it shall appear
that the, commission has not power
enough, then the Legislature can be
asked to extend its authority as far as
necessary

WORLD HEALTH

THE health clauses Of the League Of
l. Nations covenant are evidently not
TO be interpreted as mere bland and
ineffective expressions of uplift.
The council has agreed to invite the
United States to participate, either
directly or indirectly, in the organiza-
ton of an international Office to CO.
ordinate International sanitation. Health
administrations in the various countries
are to be brought into closer relation
shin; 90 operation with the league of
Red Cross societies and health missions
to supervise the condition of workmen
Is to he encouraged.
Presumably the program will seek to
secure some uniformity in quarantine
regulations. Such a reform would be as
practical as it is now extremely nee
essary. Conformity with American
rules concerning the health credentials
of immigrants has been lacking of late
in several countriesr- notably in France
and the Near East.
Repatriation has caused needless ex
pense in addition to the injustice to the
newcomer to our shores, who invariably
feels that he has been victimized With
proper examination abroad the costly
procedure could be ended.
That plaques and epidemics could b,
localized and the health OF the world
/ immeasurably improved is a self evident
deduction.

RUSSIAN IMPERIALISM AGAIN
THOROUGHLY characteristic of Bol

TN11OROtGHLI characteristic of BOl :
l. shevist methods in negotiation is the
postponcmcnt Of armistice parleys with
Poland. Ever since the Soviet Govern
ment was erected its diplomatic policy
has been such as to cause the much
assailcd chancellcrics of bourgeois
nations TO appear by contrast as ex-
ponents of an archaic simplicity and
sincerity.
At Brcst Ltovsk in 1918 the German
delegates, obscSsed by conventional no
tions of warfare. were decidedly en-
barrasscd by foe who refused either
to fight or to make peace. The Prin-
kipo proposals became farcical chiefly
because the Soviet applied to them its
principles of morality" which treat
trickery and evasion as perfectly jus
tifiable when deemed favorable to the
progress Of communism.
Even granting, therefore, that the
Polish Government Is loath to admit
the magnitude Of military defeat and
that it's representatives dispatched to
the front may have been incOmpletely
accredited, there is nothing new in the
Bolshevist maneuvering.
Furthermore, Russian reluctance to
halt the drive, now pushed beyond the
Bug river, can be ascribed TO tradi-
tional nationalist sentiments as well as
to radical aspirations strengthened by
victory. For more than a century be-
fore the world war the heart Of Poland,
including Warsaw, was under tyran-
nous Russian dominion.
Moscow was not consulted when the
Peace Conference restored to independ-
ence an ancient nation, partitioned as
n result of one Of the most ruthless
international crimes in history. Rus-
SLAMS of whatever social complexion,
mobiles, bourgeoisie, peasants, prole-
tariat, are reported as unified in the
desire to regain the lost province.
The design is obviously imperial.
The Entente is hence confronted with
the spectacle of Russia which, de-
spite the revolution, is indulging in the
formidable aspirations of old. Beside
this revival the mad performances OF
the Bolshcvists as social "rcformers
appear almost as secondary peril.
The crisis is one which even divertS
attention from the greed and vanity of
the Polish Government in originally
prosecuting an aggressive war.
With Russian cavalry within thirty
one miles of Warsaw, the situation now
calls less for moral reflections on the
speed of retribution than for the prompt
exercise of craftsmanship and unity on
the part of western Europe.

AMERICANS ALL

CENATOR HARDING spoke words
- of sobcrness and truth when he told
a delegation yesterday that he did not
want Americans Of foreign birth making
their party alignments on what we mean
TO do for some other nation OF the Old
World.
This country had enough Of hyphen
ated Amcricanism during the war to
last US for all time,
American citizens owe their only
LOYALTY to tine United States. If they
be of foreign birth they will naturally
have n sentimental interest in the coun-
try of their nativity, but that interest
should not be allowed to complicate
questions of American politics, no mat
ter what the foreign country may be.
This does not mean that the citizens
should he uninterested in the foreign
policy of the United States, but that
they should have a proper realization OF
what foreign policy is. One thing
that it is not is meddling in the do
nestle affairs of other nations with
which we have no concern.

COLONEL HUNTS AcQUlTTAL

TIME acquittal of Colonel Hunt OF
i charges of neglect of duty in con
nection with the escape of Grover Berg
doll must be accepted as fair inter
probation of evidence. Individual re
sponsiblity in this unsavory and dis
creditable episode is not easy to fix,
Moreover, discovery Of scapcgoat will
not suffice.
The real blame attaches not so much
60 particular persons, but to system
which blundered TO the point of asi
ninity. Bureaucracy in the mass is al
most inevitably stupider than its indi
vidual components.
Is there, for example, any honest
American who. if left to his own de-
vices, would have given moments
credence to the cock and bull yarn
about the crock OF gold or would have
permitted a disgusting and notorious
draft dodgcr to prosecute mock
search for it?

GEOGRAPHY AND DIPLO LOMAcY

CAGHALIN is n barren and frigid
- island off the Siberian coast, equally
divided by the treaty of Portsmouth be =
tween Russia and Japan. The role
nlayed by the United States, and es-
pecially by Theodore Roosevelt, IN
evolving that pact renders it unlikely
that official ignorance in this country
extends so far as misconception of geo
graphical features
This is the position, however, taken
by the japanese newspaper Asahi com =
menting on the American note express e
ing surprise at the occupation of the
northern end of the island by the
Mikado's troops. 1t Is explained that
this move is in retaliation Of recent
massacre Of Japanese in Nikolaievsk, a
town on the Siberian mainland now the
provincial seat Of government for Rus
sian Saghalin.
In other words, the guilt Of Niko-
laicvsk Is the guilt also Of the whole
territory, insular or continental. under
it's jurisdiction. The ethics Of the rea
soning is matter apart from the rather
absurd implication that the State De-
partment has not consulted map.

With shortening breath, down to his

But it's not so--his best is yet to be,
When his child Autumn, shall with

And when, at happy Yuletide, we shall
see
His snow white head with wreaths OF
holly crowned.
Then tell me that life's best part Is
gone,
Because the high noon Of the day is
here;
There Is a beauty in the twilight deep
One has not felt at any hour since
dawn,
And what is there for tired man to
fear
When night comes in with stars and
dreams and sleep?
