poSE'S STATEMENT THAT FOL.
LOWERS OF COL. ROOSEVELT
ARE SUPPORTING THE REAC-
TuONARY NOMINEE.

Amos Pnchot, one of Roosevelt S
chief supporters in the 1912 cam
n.;en. now a member of the Com
m;ttee of 4S, takes sharp issue with
senator Boies Penrose's statement
that 1.-The nomination Of Harding has
mot with a hearty response from the
followers of Colonel Roosevelt"
"Real progressive will flock to The
now party to be launched at Chicago
on July TO-" Mr.. Pinchot said. I'm
stead of winning back progressives
who followed Colonel Roosevelt in
1912. the nomination of Harding on a
reactionary, ambiguous and insincere
platform proves the utter impossible
;ty of reforming either of the old par
ties by working from within.
For 20 years." continued Mr..
pinchot, honest independents have
been trying to make the republican
party responsive to the will of the
people, The Chicago convention
demonstrated this method is futile
The bosses and the privileged inter
ests they represent have a firmer grip
on the party machinery than ever be-
fore. The prominence and undue &C.
tivity of Senator Penrose himself is
evidence of this. There is nothiE ,
for any real progressive to do but to
get behind the new party which will
deal with live instead of dead isst e.'
and offer a solution of the pressing
economic problems which face the ma
ton. VI
I'VE are getting reports from all
parts of the country that the feeling
against Harding is growing daily.
The public is deeply indignant at the
spectacle Of great party that not
only offers reactionary as candidate,
but rubs this in by platform that
either sidesteps or takes the reaction
airy end of every big question, such as
the cost Of living. government own.
ership OF railroads and natural re.
sources. ct cetera.
I'm my opinion. the American p+o
pie, hard pressed by taxes and tie
high cost of living, are in no humor
to stand for negative men and plat
forms and a campaign of barren and
partisan denunciation."

A trip to Spokane and return in 81
hours and 30 minutes actual running
time is the record that Mr.. and Mrs.
l.. E, Titus made in their Ford coupe.
Running into a combination of
mountains, roads that were merely
tracks over the earth, and a sand
storm, the Ford coupe travelled over
and through all three without hest
tation.
Upon arrival in Centralia, Mr..
Titus figured his total number of
touring miles to be 8477. 1t was
found that the coupe, with its full
load. under adverse road and climatic
conditions, had averaged 20.1 miles
per gallon and had made an average
run of better than q miles per hour.
Very few cars at any price can
equal or surpass this record for de.
pendable, economical transportation.
Car trouOle-"Don't know, what it
is" said Mr. Titus.
Mrs. Titus vouched for the comfort
of the closed car, particularly dur
ms the sandstone, and stated that
she felt certain that as soon as Ford
owners, particularly the women, now
driving open models apprecite the
added comfort and protection of the
closed car that the Ford factory will
have to double its output of the sedan
and coupe.
The following log of this trip will
be of interests, especially to those
who contemplate such a trip, as ac-
tual mileage has been carefully

usual by making the ordinary purchases it would
generally make at this season of the year rather
than to wait in the expectation of further reductions
which, If they come, must be borne in no small part
by the public.
Now is the time for the seller and the buyer
to take council and to learn that there can be no
enmity between them. Each must cooperate with
the other so that the conditions which have given
prosperity to every line in every walk of life will
continue.

There is indication that the same situation prevails

The Parliament of Man.
HE assembly of the league of nations /

ii
IN Geneva today for the first time with
delegates of eminence from fortv-one ma
mons present, and applicants for admission from
lour otner countries prepared to press their claims
Broadly speaking it is the lower house of the FIRST
Parliament of man" summoned to pass unon
world affairs, and as such is an epoch-mark;pg
sathering, voluntary exclusion from which NAV be
explainable but not defensible
The assembly will meet in city already Sill

good IL VIII gather IN the capital OF State long
years ago set apart as an abode of peace with it's
territory inviolabIe; and nation to which wisdom
mas been given to settle in pacific ways conflicts
OF race and class without war and BY ultra-demo
cratic political methods. Far wiser has been the
enoiee OF Geneva for this seat of international law
making than would have been that of Brussels in
the cockpit of Europe" and nobler will be its de-
eisons because formed of the hectic passionate
mlitsrist atmosphere of Paris where the treaty of
Versailles was intrigued into shape
Much OF the labor of the first days of this meet
ing VIII be centered in those formalites which will
establish the technique of procedure and define the
scope of action. But, fortunately ere the call Of
the roll begins or the Swiss republics president
formally welcomes the assembly it will have been
settled that the sessions are to be public and the
news uncensored
The main task OF the assembly is to ratifv or
TO dissent from the decisions already made bv the
council OF the league, and to initiate for discussion
action and subsequnt conference with the council of
broad policies on which majority of the assem-
bys delegates agree. In addition there will be
discussion OF plans already proposed and backed
by certain nations calling for notifications or
changes in the structure of the league decision
TO the admissibility of applicants, and important
indications of the legislatures willing to further
effective tunetioning of the proposed international
court and such executive agents as the league NAV
need.
AS the assembly acts on suggestions for alter
nation OF the structure of the league it will be
hampered somewhat by uncertainty as to what the
United States really wishes in the way of special
tavors The unofficial observer from the United
States cannot speak this point with any au-
thority. Nor can the Department of State Nor
can any emissares from the incoming administra-
ton But not even this untoward fact need prevent
action on such propositions as nations within the
league have filed. Nor need the assembly hesitate
IN making some response to the moves that are
coming from South America to test the compe-
tency OF the league arbiter of differences
which exist there. This is an issue that sooner or
later must be faced, whether the United States
enters the league does not; and the South
American republics quite naturally have used their
rights as league members to raise it now

John Calyin's Shade.

When the assembly of the league of nations
meets today in Geneva to plan for "law-governed

Gated to the memory of John Calvin.
There will be certain sort of fitness in this
TACT, for Calvin, beyond all other men of his time,
made Geneva the center of theory Of government
in church and state which was to have a marked
influence on the history of constitutional rule
throughout the world. Quite apart from any
theories of theology which he held and promul-
gated he has compelled the attention of historians
and jurists because OF the profound influence he
had upon civil administration not only in Geneva
but in lands where his political as we'll as religious
influence became dominant either while he lived or
after, as for instance in Holland, Scotland Great
Britain and the English-speakng sections of North
America
He was dehner of law and also codifer of
law. He stressed the theocratic conception of the
state his most directly descended spiritual
and ecclesiastical heirs dare not stress it today
But his hercest critics never questioned the sin
certify of his effort to higher ethical standards
OF living for men and for nations. Fundamentally
he was not legalst, but moralist.
II his shade is now lowering over the CITY that
10 inseparably associated with his name it must get
considerable satisfaction from the place the COM
munity recently has reassumed in the worlds eye
There are concentrating for their permanent head
quarters associations with many names but a COM
mon object-namely, setting up kingdom of Cod
on earth with passion, envy and strife eliminated
They want reign of law among and over nations
selfdetermned after candid debate of all the pros
and cons that legitimate natonalism can present
These associations of two knds-voluntary
associations OF individuals, and, in the case Of
the league OF nations, representative of govern
ments from all the continents and including repre-

did he, believe that Righteousness exalteth a ma
tion." and that the ultimate right is the ultimate

in one of his great essays has shown. But neither
was he ST. Francis.

Beautifying Arlington.

Logic, if other factor were operative. has
made it necessary for the nation to put itself back
OF plan to complete and make beautiful the
tract in Arlington where lie the remains of leaders
and privates in the since 1861. 1t would have
been absurdly inconsistent to utilize the best en-
gineering, artistic and expert advice in making
worthy OF the dead our cemeteries in France and
Great Britain and not do the same here at the
nations heart.
The Fine Arts Commissions approval of the
plans OF the War Department settles the matter
so far as advice goes. Now it is up to Congress to
make the changes and expansions possible For
estation will then proceed that in the course of
time the newer additions to the area will resemble
if not equal the superb timber that now covers so
much of the site. Changes in the rarely beautiful
Gusts House will bring it back to its typical state,
a symbol of the South in the best days of its pre-
civil war wealth, culture and hospitality.
Inclusion of Arlington and its environs in the
general plan for making this urban center one Of
the most, if not the most beautiful in the world is
wholly commendable When the coming bridge
spanning the Potomac and connecting the parkway

The Matter of Prices.

Concerning the recent announcements of price
reductions in number of commodities, the Nash
vile Tennessean comments very sensibly that its
readers must not be msled or deceived as to the
full significance of the reports
an many instances price cutting has been the
result of forced sales of manufactured articles after
original orders had been Cancelled and the manu-
faeturers were confronted with either selling the
articles at loss storing them" says the Nash
vile paper.
In other instances great reductions in prices
have been due to manufacturers and others who
have articles that are not standard reducing exces
sfve profits which they have charged upon these
articles
The public is able to realize, however, tina,
there has also been a reduction in articles consti-
tuting the necessaries of life this autumn beyond
what was expected and almost to the safety point
Reductions to a certain point are profits shared
by the public Reductions beyond this point are
losses, which also must be shared by the public.
AT this time there could be no more serious
obstacle to busnessl men, to professional men, and
to wage-earners alike, than cessation of buying
A weeks cessation of buying would affect this
country very much like plague would mean in
Vulnerable failures and serious business depression
If not panic, and period of bread lines and soup
houses.
Local retailers are selling articles which
they bought at the peak of high prices These
articles must be sold and the shelves cleared The
retailer must suffer loss, and for the most part is
contenting himself with selling at the manufac-
turer's price and losing his overhead and general
cost.
eff the general public should be able or desirous
of further recession of prices they must in the
end bear a portion of the loss which the retailer
would Immediately suffer- for if the merchants have
to sell ruinous prices these ruinous prices will
mean inability to purchase other stocks which, in
turn must mean that the manufacturers must cease
operation and labor become idle. 1t would soon
become question of not what wages labor could
secure, but whether it could any work at
any wages.

BUSINESS MEN URGE
TAX PAYMENT DELAY

Hundreds OF business men are ap-
pealing to William VI. Williams.
Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
for extension OF time on payment Of
the fourth installment Of income and
excess profits taxes. due December
Is. il was learned officially yester-
day.
q Answer is being made to all in.
quirieS that Treasury officials have
no authority to grant such requests
and that relief can be obtained only
through a special act of Congress
before the limit of time is reached.
II is indicated that Congress will be
asked TO extend the time.
Slackened business and falling
prices are given as reasons why
many business men cannot meet
their full obligations without fac
ing bankruptcy. From the inquir-
les 1t appears that the silk and tex
tile industries are the hardest hit.
All sections of the industrial field
appear to have made representa-
tions.
Treasury officials point out that
any considerable reduction in income
from taxes at the present time
would place the government in an
embarrassing position. Treasury
certificates OF Indebtedness amount
ing to S69l,026.0o0 bearing Ia per
cent interest were issued in antici-
patton OF the final installment and

SAYS TROPICS STIR sAvAGRY.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
/ believe there is an explanation
OF the alleged slaughter Of native
Haitians by American marines and
the local gendarme-under Ameri-
can command-in the curious influ-
ence of the tropical climate on the
white man.
1t Is terrible story of reversion
to primitive passions. But the white
man. suddenly confronted with an
inferior civilization and having alb
so!ute power in his own hands, al
most invariably is brutalized until
his own reactions have had time to
stabilize him.
When the Spanish conquists dores
occupied Mexico and Peru. they
showed themselves the victims Of
this law Of barbaric degeneracy. So
did the Europeans who colonized
other parts of the New World The
Belgian atrocities in the Congo,
which stirred civilization into Wig
orous protest fifteen years ago. were
Of the same stamp.
When the United States occupied
the Philippines, the water ere"
torture was applied to the natives,
showing the primitive law liz opcr-
alton there. Examples could be null
tiplied indefinitely.
The Haitian revelations show
Americans at home that the white
man seems the universal victim OF
this form Of atavism, We ourselves
are scarcely 1900 years removed
from the savagery that for 100000
years formed our instincts and
guided our habits.
But, the higher civilization dem
onstrates it's fitness, nevertheless.
For. the white man no longer allows
such barbarities to continue. The
white man, himself. stops them. His
indifference to injustice is short
lived. So America will stop sucn
affairs and eventually will provide
Haiti with a stabilized democratic
government. KERNDON HILL.
