GETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT

THE repassage by the House of Rcpresen-
L tatives of the resolution repeating most
of the war laws-a resolution which the
President killed last summers evidence of
the determination Of the Republican majority
to redeem its campaign pledges.
The resolution does what it can to declare
the war nt an end and to put the country
on peace basis. 1t declares that "any act
of Congress that by its terms is in force ONLY
during the existence of state of war and
limited time thereafter shall be construed
and administered ms II the present war tor
minated on the date when this resolution
became effective"
When the Senate passes the resolution and
the President signs it. then the business Of
disbandng the great army Of clerks called
to Washington by the war can proceed
OF course, 1t is possible that the President
may veto it, but even If he does there are
so many congressman of both parties dc.
tcrminpd that the fictitious state Of wor
shall be brought to an end that the veto
might be ovcrrddcn

THE BONDS WERE SOLD

MR.. STOTESBURI, the banker member
4Nl of the Sinking Fund Commission. an
nounced at the first open meeting of the
commission few days ago that If the criti-
eism of the banking syndicates who bid for
city bonds was continued the bankers would
cease their bidding.
When the bids for 81. 900. 900 Of new bonds
were opened Thursday no bid was found
from any of the banks in the syndicate,
which has frequently offered to take all or
none at given figure and has frequently
secured all at the figure offered
Several other banks made bids, however,
and still other banks were prepared to take
large blocks of the bonds.
1t is evident that there is no group of
bankers powerful enough t. force the city
to sell it's bonds to it's members on the terms
which they choose to FIX. The demonstration
of this is fortunate for the city, and it should
encourage independent bankers to make bids
In the future in the confident hope that they
will not be blocked out by any syndicate.

however. 1t is tax on the gross earnings
of business. A manufacturer deposits his
receipts in bank and checks it out to pay
his bills, including his payrolls. II his pay
roll amounts to 81 200, 900 Il year the tax on
1t, If he deposited the money in the bank
before he drew il out to put in the pay
envelopes would amount to $4,000. II the
Trcadway bill should be passed the large
employers would be inclined to save the tax
by keeping in their own safes money enough
to meet the weekly or monthly payroll unless
the interest on their daily balances we're
large enough to cover the tax.
Before Congress passes any such new tax
law il will consider not only the conditions
under which men do business, but it's rela-
ton to other taxation plans. Indeed, the
taxation program to be adopted will come
from the ways and means committee and not
from any individual member of the House.

It is unreasonable. however. TO expect

bound to be long and bitter debate on II
before IL Is brought to vote. No one need
be surprised IL the present Congress ad-
journs before the bill is finally disposed Of.
It's purpose is to prevent the interruption
of interstate commerce by providing penalties
for it. That interstate commerce should not
be interrupted by any one is admitted by
almost every one. The national government
already has power to secure the free move
ment Of passengers, freight and mail from
state to state. President Cleveland exer-
cised that power during the Chicago railroad
strike about twenty five years ago. He had
to send troops to Illinois in order to protect
the movement Of trains, and he sent them
against the protest of the governor Of the
state. But the Supreme Court sustained
him in every particular.
The defeat Of the Poindexter bill will not
destroy the power Of the government in the
premises. The question for Congress to de-
eide is whether the courts shall be empow-
cred to protect interstate commerce by pun
ishing those guilty Of interfering with 1t, or
whether IL shall continue necessary for the
President to call out the army to secure the
free movement of trains while those persons
guilty of conduct which obstructs traffic are
allowed to 60 scot free.

MRS. n. s. PRENTIss NICHOLS
On Value Of Cluhs to Women

TT ISN'T n mans world, nor yet a woman's
women together must give their best for
humanity. And the women have learned
much concerning their share Of giving
through the women's clubs Of the country.
Such is the opinion of Mrs. II. 3. Prem
tiss Nichols, president of the New Century
Club, one of the city's oldest and well hon
ored women's organizations. Mrs. Nichols
herself is typical of the modern clubwoman-
well dressed, intellectual with an innate
ability for and interest in housekeeping and
"a wide, sympathetic interest in humanity
and the civic betterment of the community.
THE woman's club has been of inestima
BILE value in training women to think and
act in co operation that is. to think as in
dividuals and to act in organized groups
she said.
For nearly fifty years women's clubs
have been gathering together groups of
women in almost every city, town and hamlet
in the United States, until now the General
Federation of Women's Clubs represents
2,5OO. 600 organized women. The last indi-
vidual member could be reached with any

BREAKING A PRECEDENT

A LONG line of traditions run counter to
n President Wilson's choice Of Washing
ton as a permanent residence after with
drawal from public life.
Heretofore the claims Of the national
capital upon the affections Of retiring Chief
Magistrates has been conspicuously weak
John Quincy Adams, it is true began new
career in the House of Representatives and
died as a member of that body. Andrew
Johnson sought to repair his reputation in
the Senate. was chosen to represent Ten
nessee in the upper house, but died in 1875
before taking his seat. But after leaving
the White House neither Adams nor John
son regarded Washington as home. The
eagerncss Of the first President to regain the
peace and gracious isolation of Mount Yer
non is historic. Madison withdrew to his
ample Virginia estate at Montpelier, and
Jefferson moro or less serenely viewed the
whirligig of politics and the progress or
retrogrpsSion Of his fellow countrymen from
the splendid emincuce of Monticello. Presi-
dents to whom their former habitats ceased
to appeal selected a new environment az
did Cleveland with Princeton.
Mr.. Wilson's departure, which is in an
other sense no departure at all, is unique,
In addition to personal reasons, which are
probably strong, there are other possible cx-
plantations for his decision, and in these the
American people are emphatically interested
1t is generally understood that Mr.. Wilson
will revert to his original role Of American
historian. There is momcntous story, in
which he figures with extraordinary promi
nence, to be told.
Residence in Washington will place him
within easy reach of the Congressional Lii
brnry and of important official documents
and statistics in the various government de-
partments. In the former home Of Henry
p. Fairbanks. just purchased, Mr.. Wilson
will be enabled to pursue his anticipated in
quest into the greatest cataclysm in history.
The nation, instnctively kindly to those
who have Mt last escaped from the turmoil
Of politics. whole heartcdly desires that Mr.
Wilson's days as a private resident Of Wash
ington be spent pleasurably, comfortably
and, to speak selfshly fruitfully. In the
last hope is contained the expectation of a

revolutions. He was deported from Russia
at one time for plotting against the govern
mcnt The Germans, knowing his habits Of
mind didn't welcome him. He has the air
of n cultured man Of the world and he speaks
several languages in n nicely modulated
voice. But he bore rather astonishing
message to these shores. Having to speak
for Ienine, he had to imply that IL our gov
ernmpnt didn't recognize the Bolshevist gov
ernment, the Bolshevist government would
turn the proletariat loose to eat us up. Oddly
enough, it is the proetariat in Russia that.
being sick Of bolshevism. is now getting
ready to eat up the organization at Moscow.
Even this knowledge Is not such as might
be expected to console a government threat
cned on its own soil by ambassadors from
abroad. Martens was tolerated in the United
States, but his position even as an unrecog-
nized cmissary never was very safe. The
news of his expulsion is pretty sure to cause
something of a sensation abroad. Recogni-
ton by the United States even of Russian
trade agreements and credit systems would
have done great deal to bolster up the
declining prestige Of the Lennc dictatorship.
BY queer and uncertain methods some such
recognition has been provided by some of the
foreign governments, and naturally these
governments would prefer to see America
join an adventure in which numbers are
necessary to even comparative safety. But
the administration at Washington Is still
under the domination of single. track mind.
The deportation order, even though its ex-
ecution may be long delayed through court
appeals, will hasten an end and a new be-
ginning in Russia.
The interesting and significant fact for
Americans is that as Washington d. Van

ANOTHER BLOW AT THE BOARD

MTH1LE il is impossible at this time to
w fOretell the ultimate fate of the findings
of the State Constitutional Revision Com
mission, it can hardly be denied that an idea
behind at least one of its recent recommcn-
dations will win a substantial measure of
popular support
Section 10. Article V. Of the new instru-
ment provides that mo duties shall be i'm
posed on a court or judge except such as
shall relate to the administration of justice
or the conduct Of the business of the court
or to the conduct of elections
1t may be argued that the amendment
is out Of place in the constitution. One Of
the implications. however. is significantly
clear. The law, II made fundamental, would
compel the Legislature to devise some other
method Of naming the members of the Board
of Education.
Undoubtedly the present method-appoint-
nent by judgcs-is in dsfavor. The fact
that abuses also crept into the earlier system
ought not TO be construed as n complete de-
Tense of the present arrangement
The Legislature will oppose current sen
timent il it fails to inquire thoroughly into
the whole subject, whether the proposed cou
stitutional change is or il not adopted.
