The Tennessee Filibuster.

The boiling Tennessee legislators
are making a very sorry spectacle of
themselves. They are not playing the
game in a manly fashion. They are
trying to defeat measure by trickery
that should be met squarely and passed
or beaten on its merits.
If there is anything to the point
raised about the state constitutional
provision the courts will amply take
care Of it. The legislators, having been
summoned in extra session and having
voted, with the result of clear ma
jority for ratification, should abide by
that result subject to judicial proce-
dure, which has been already invoked
When Speaker Walker changed his
vote and entered motion to recon
slider the vote by which the amend
ment was ratified he was within his
rights. He should have stuck to that
line and within the two days allowed
by the rules should have gone to a test
on his motion to reconsider. But, on
the other hand, he organized the bolt
that broke the quorum and now the

America Wins!

BY the widest margin ever scored in
the history Of the modern Olympic
games. the American team has won the
great international match at Antwerp
The grand total of points for this
country is 212. Finland was second by
Jos, clear lead for America of l07
points Yet, whereas the athletes from
the United States at the last previous
Olympiad, in 1912, took Ii first honors,
this time they scored only g. A fac
tor of Importance in the American
winning was that while in 1912 only 5
"places" counted in the points, at Ant
werp points were scored for 6 "paces."
1t is pointed out that despite the great
margin Of the American winning there
is danger that the athletes of this
country may lose their re-eminence
in future Olympiads. They must, it is
said, do better in the development of
middle and distance running. Uncle
Sans young men have perhaps been a
bit too confident of their athletic
prowess. Between now and the next
wherever it is held. they
must do some hustling.

legislature is tied up in knot. This

legislature is tied up in knot. This
is costing the state a good deal of
money, is preventing the transaction
of other business than the matter of
ratification. and is making Tennessee
rather ridiculous in the eyes of the
country, whereas a few days ago it
held the enviable position of having
cast the deciding vote for the enfran-
chisement of the American women.
This maneuver may serve to compli-
cate and delay ratification. But the
serious issue will remain not whether
by the undignified procedure of some
of the legislators the certificate of rati
fcation is rendered incomplete, but
whether Tennessee is entitled under
the law to ratify at an extra session
Of the legislature this year.
All who admire the state of Tennes
see-and it has a remarkable record
that gives it high place in the esteem
of the American people-will hope that
this filibuster will quickly end and the
boiling legislators will return and fin
ish the business for which they were
summoned to Nashville.

The Potomac Park Shanties.

| When during the course of the wal
buildings were erected in Potomac Park
for the accommodation of troops sta
toned there for guard purposes. there
was NO public demur. 1t was regarded
as a necessity, even as the construc-
ton Of Office buildings in the Mall and
on the upper edge of Potomac Park
was viewed as part Of the war require
ments. Now that tho war is over
actually if not of1icially-and there is
no occasion for a military post in Po-
tomac Park, the buildings that have
for some time been blotting the land
scape east Of the railway bridge should
be RACED. They are NO longer needed
as barracks. A very few soldiers, 1t
is true, are CHARTERED there, but for
what particular reason is not clear, nn-
less there is no other place to put them
and they are awaiting discharge or
duty.
Some time ago it was announced
that these buildings would be sold and
removed. Nothing was done. The
government took over the plant as a
storage place for departmental sup
plies and most of the buildings are
now used as warehouses. Some Of them
are vacant and in a sad state of shabby
neglect. None of these buildings is
at all suitable to the environment.
If the government needs store
room for its departmental supplies it
should have one commodious enough in
a central situation and certainly more
secure than the Aimsy shacks in Po-
tomac Park. An immense quantity Of
material is stored in them and liable
to loss any time by Ere. 1t is the poor
est conceivable business to put such
a great value into such inadequate
shelter, apart from any other consider
alton.
Now that the war is over, in fact
if not in law, no more time should be
lost in cleaning up these odds and ends
of makeshift provision. Just as rapid
ly as possible the temporary office
buildings should be replaced with per
manent structures-outside of the
parks-and the lath and plaster crea-
tons destroyed. The more durable
buildings in Potomac Park should be
removed also. They should not be per
mitted to remain any longer than it is
possible to provide replacing accom-
modations elsewhere on permanent
basis.
The best beginning on this course of
cleaning up the debris Of war in
Washington will be in Potomac Park.

But the election is not to be held
tomorrow 1t is more than sixty days
distant. And every one of those days
will be crowded. The battle is on in
good earnest. Both sides are in action
for all they are worth.
1t is rule of the game for both
sides to be eonfident-for publication.
And both sides are observing the rule.
Harding is the man." say the repub-
LEANS "Cox is certainty" reply the
democrats.
To support these claims the crowds
at the meetings are instructed. Mr..
Harding is hailed as "the next Presi-
dent" Gov. Cox at his meetings is
hailed similarly
At the same time it is very evident,
and becoming palmer every day, to
trained observers that the situation is
one of unexampled complexity and
difficulty. Is it safe even to predict
what would happen if the election were
held tomorrow Millions of new voters
are to be taken into account. New
issues of the greatest importance are
to be decided. The unrest in the eoun-
try is more widely extended and deep
~ seated than ever before.
The country is sin for probably the
most strenuous tussle it has ever
known. and that is fact. But we are
ready for it. Our institutions are all
intact, and functioning. They have
stood some severe strains They will
stand this latest strain, severe as it is.

Poland to Keep at Home.

Poland, it is stated, will give assuf.
ance TO the United States that the
Polish armies will not pursue their ad.
vance beyond the frontiers of the re.
constituted republic. This in response
to an official statement that the United
States will not approve any offensive
action against soviet Russia beyond the
photographic limits of Poland.
1T is to be assumed that Poland has
the same conception of her ethnograph-
ic limits as the State Department. The
treaty of peace defined the Polish
boundaries adequately. Those bound
aries are well understood at Warsaw,
and there should be no misunderstood
ing ON the score of what constitutes
frontiers.
The present crisis through which
Poland has just passed was caused by
an incursion into Russia Had Poland
remained on her own side of the
boundary as stated at Versailles there

Gov. Cox and His Charges.

The Senate committee investigating
campaign funds has made request of
Gov. Cox which is respectful in tone
and terms and meritorious in character.
Presumably he will comply with it by
giving the committee all the informa-
ton he possesses, and the sources of
it, touching the "slush" fund he has
charged the republicans with raising
for usein the present presidential con
test.
Tho committees action is justified
en- two grounds: a. The source of the
charge made. and (a) the amount Of
money tho charge carries.
What might be smiled at and dis
missed lightly coming from An ordi-
nay stumper or soap-bo1 spouter is
entitled to serious consideration COM
ing from q candidate for President of
the United States.
The sum mentioned-ffteen million
dollars-is "a mighty sight of money"
for campaign purposes, even in these
days Of tall financial figures, and of
many new methods Of interesting and
instructing the public in politics.
IF Gov. Cox is certain Of his facts
and figures-if the republicans have
been "caught with the goods on"-he
owes it to the voters Of the country to
lay the details before the committee
authorized to receive them. If he has
spoken hastily, or in a spirit Of ex-
aggeration which sometimes seizes and
controls candidate for Office, or been
misled by those to whom he has given
his confidence, he owes it to himself
to make confession.
The Senate committee promises a
thorough investigation, not only of this
charge, but of all kindred charges bear
ing on the subject of contributions and
expenditures in connection with the
struggle now in progress between the
two old parties for control both of
the presidency and of the next Con
gress. That is what the country de-
sires and will indorse.

would probably have been no bolshevik
advance. 1t is hardly to be believed
that the Warsaw government will re-
peat that mistake, even though as a
result of it the soviet has been greatly
weakened in prestige and in the field
by the blow that Poland has just in
ficted upon it.
That the soviet is hard hit by the
victories of the Poles and Of Wrangei
is confessed in a resolution adopted at
Moscow conference of the communist
party, deciding to raise additional vol
unteer troops. 1t specifically acknowl-
edges that the western army "has sui
fered a serious defeat" and that Gen.
Wrangel's front is acquiring primary
importance" This is the conclusions:
at. therefore, calls upon all party
organizations to carry out a party
mobilization with the same accuracy
and rapidity as before and arrange for
businesslike discussions of measures
to be taken to assist on Wrangeis
front. Also widespread agitation must
be developed among the masses, work
ers and peasants in favor of voiun-
teer movement for the red army IN
the struggle against Wrangel."
All sorts of imaginings are inspired
by this peculiar language. What is 4
"party mobilization"f What is 'wide
spread agitation"i This resolution
strongly suggests the application of
the soviet method Of impressment un-
der the guise of volunteering. I'M
