Please Don't Think Us impairment

The senior class of Teachers Col
iege, Columbia university, is giving
a. series of fashion shows with the
object OF promoting better standards
of dress among the students, and for
teaching good taste in dress. Cos
tunes are loaned by the New York
stores and the senior girls appear as
models. showing both what is cor
rect for various occasions and also
the combinations that are caricatures
of good dressing.
The idea is worth while, for school
teachers as class need help in
planning their clothes if anybody
does. The fact that they haven't
much to spend for clothes or any
thing else accounts for many of the
things seen at teachers conventions,
but there is no excuse whatever for
deliberately buying a blue, hat to
wear with a green suit or for COM
bining a pink and green striped
blouse and gray and green checked
skirt with dark red coat.
Teachers may excuse themselves
on the ground that their minds are
on higher things and that they
haven't the time and energy to de-
vote to their personal appearance. 1t
isn't so much a question of time as
Of education and good sense along
the lines the Columbia girls are
working out. The effect of a well
dressed teacher upon the children she
faces is worth taking int account,
and about balances the effect upon
herself when she is conscious of look
ing well.

though were to die for it."
The principle to which he referred
is the crime defined by the New York
law as advocating "the duty, neees-
sity or propriety Of overthrowing or
overturning organized government by
force or violence" Larkin made no
serious attempt to deny that he had
done this. On the contrary. he. like
all AvoEsA anarchists, boosted rather
proudly Of what he had done and
tried to dc. The court room where
he received sentence was packed with
sxmpathixsrS whe crowded around

A Fitting Choice.

The intimation that Senator Lodge
is TO deliver the keynote speech at
the Republican national convention
is gratifying We think it will be well
coined by a very large majority OF
the party and be recognized by men
of all parties as a fitting choice.
From out his long experience. and
many attainments, his unbiemished
record and ability to speak autheri-
tatively for the party with which he
has been unvaryingly identified, this
distinguished service is assured per-
Torrance suited 10 the occasion. No
man in public life today is better
qualified for this. Born in 1850. now
in his SEVENTEEN year, he retains hts
mental vigor unimnaired and Won
derfully trained. With conservative
tendencies he nevertheless compre-
bends the view point of the radical.
He was a warm personal friend and
aQflIfGr IN0VrCSStl. Inv
attitude of the President on the
peace treaty has served to reveal the
sanity of the counsel of Senator
Lodge, his skill in leadership, and to
relieve him of responsibility for the
deplerahle situation respecting the
League. In his campaign for re-
election in 1916 he said these words,
the more impressive today by reason
of his endorsement at the recent
primaries:
Many of those who were my
friends at the outset have gone: a
new generation has come up and
new men are leading in our politics.
1t is right that it should be so, ana
from them, too, l have received the
same cordial support as from their
predecessors, but the friends VINO
were with me when ! began, and who
still live, are my friends today, and
it is something to be able to feel
that l have lost no old friends ana
gained many new enes."

A New Fight for the Control Of Con
qress.

A warning against the present
activities and potential growth of
the Plumb Plan League and other
radicals and radical organizations
advocating government ownership is
issued by Representative Pell. of
what is considered the richest dis
trict of New York county. He de-
clares that all such organizations are
up and doing, and that the fight they
are starting for the control of Con-
sress may succeed unless the con-
sentative people of the country are
awakened. The fact that party rebels
do not count with them he believes
will give them a chance to pick up a
Republican here and a Democrat
there in successive elections, all of
whom will be government ownership
men, until they will come TO control
the situation.
Illustrating the apathy of con-
servative voters, Mr. Pell said he
represents holders of about a billion
dollars of railroad securities, but
that during the recent fight on the
railroad bill he did not receive one
letter from a security holder asking
him to vote for or against it. On
the contrary he received scores of
letters from radicals in his district
asking him to vote against it.
He believes that government own
ership and secialization of indus
tries are the most important issues
before the American people, but that
not more than 10 per cent. of the
people favor them. He reminds the
90 per cent. that the minority is we'll
organized and knows what it wants.
1T is perfectly clear" he says.
that q johnson Republican and a
Bryan Democrat have more in COM
mon with each other than either has
with a Cox Democrat or a Lewden
Republican.
If in a given district As per cent.
of the people vote straight Demo-
cratic ticket because they admire
Jefferson or Wilson. and in another
forty five per cent. vote the straight
Republican ticket because they adj
mire Lincol and dislike Wilson,
and in each, per cent. want a
government ownership man with
out regard to PARTY, YOU may be
quite sure that in COMPARE
lively short time both these dis
tricts will be represented by gov
eminent ownership men. one calling
himself a Democrat and the other a
Republican.
when this group at last gets suf-
fieiept control of the government to
take over our railroads, this majority
of the people, both Republicans and
Democrats, will howl with rage at
the eowardly surrender of Congress
to a small minority They will then

If Issue Must Come
(Bosten HeFald1

If the issue must come, it ought to
be between the treaty as it is and
the treaty with reservations. 1t is
along these lines the country has
been thinking during the memorable
debate in the Senate. We hope the
Democratic convention will declare
for the treaty as it is, and that the
revolt will be unsuccessful. This may
result, as Senator Hamilton Lewis
has predicted, in Mr.. Wilson's run
ming for third term. We are al
most prepared to face that pessibil-
ity.
On the other hand, the Republicans
can do nothing better than to stand
for the treaty with reservations-not
denominating them the Lodge res
ervations" but describing them along
the lines first pointed out by Mr.,
Root. These comprise in the main
the right of withdrawal. the right to
domestic questions. the limitations Of

Another Treaty Enemy

The statement of Chairman Cum
Mings of the Democratic National
Committee concerning the Knox
tisanship of q shallow and extreme
kind. AS such it contributes not at
all TO the end Mr.. Cummings asserts
he has in view.
At no time since the negotiation
of the Versailles Treaty has it been
possible to have settlement unless
it was non partisan or Bipartisan.
Fer treaty purposes neiparty has had

essential to have support from men
of different party labels.
Mr.. Ledge'and the Republicans who
favored his reservations constitute
the largest single group in the Sen
ate, but they did not muster the two
thirds necessary TO ratification.
They are not even a majority of the
Senate. Many have assumed that
Senator Lodge was master of the
situa,ion~-have complained because
he did not ratify. He couldn't. He
has lacked the power.
Nor will the Knox resolution, even
though it passes the Senate, mean a
settlement. The President, as is his
admitted right. will probably veto the
! resolution. TO disregard his veto
once more a two-thirds vote is re
qured. A two-thirds vote can be
provided by no party alone.
| Mr.. Cummings ignores the pr-
| mary fact of the situation. He says
not a word in favor of compromise
| or combination. On the contrary,
his tone is such as to add to the diff
| ticuities of getting together. He
pretends to think ID is dishonorable
for this country not to act on the
treaty. Yet he uses his influence to
hefpetuate the alleged dishenor.
What must be thought?
Mr.. Cummings knows as we'll as
any one that no party is likely to
have two thirds of the Senate as a
result of the November election. and
that even if by miracle any party
should gain such preponderance its
power would not come into effective

aware in what list he places him

of ratification and has no higher APP
parea. purpose than to use the treaty
dispute for a partisan purpose.
The treaty has been so bedeviled
by those who have upheld the Pres
ident in his stubborn unreason that
its prospects are not good under any
circumstances. The net result Of the
Cummings declaration is further to
lessen the PROBABILITIES of ratifica-
ton.

Courage and the Opportunity

Timidity, fiabby upperlips, seeing
only the length of ones nose and
slowing down at sight of hill are
not characteristics of successful
men. Moreover there is an old saw,
Nothing venture, nothing have" and
such as: Buy when others wish TO
sell and sell when others wish to buy;
All of which remind us that many
wish TO buy. Stocks are low, enter
prise waits, fields are untitled, mines
are not worked to capacity, mills are
slowing down and their products are
scarce.
In short this part of the world new
er before offered so good an opper-
tunity to the individual willing to
earn his livelihood. When he grasps
his opportunity the captains of in-
dustry, the men who plan and lead
will be able to grasp theirs.
Meanwhile the profiteer who exists
because of unsettled and abnormal
conditions is grasping enough to
sink him were it tied about his neck
in deep water, as some undoubtedly
are wicked enough to wish it were.
Today he is a menace: in many in
stances he is neslecting his oppor-
tunity Cutting the selling price
twenty per cent, as was done by one
of New York's big retailers is con-
fession; it is also q recognition that
profiteerns persisted in will injure
ones business.
There are many who sympathiZe
with the farmer, but not effectively
in most cases. Few are able to in
diligently comprehend his exact sit
uation. That it is disheartening
must be apparent to even the casual
observer. We are net surprised that
in many instances he is telling him
self that he is not appreciated True.
Brooding over what he regards the
injustice of working long hours to
feed those who won't work at all if
they can possibly help it, he may
say: 1T will do them good to go
hungry" All true. But-and here
is something worth considering
real prosperity for the country means
real prosperity for the farmer, short
age of food stuffs means greater de-
mand and consequently better prices.
Potatoes may not sell in the fall for
the prices of seed potatoes today.
and again they may. Assurediy
there is good reason to suppose they
will command good prices. They
can't be raised without fertilizing
and without work. The individual
effort of the farmer to produce them
and other food stuff has more of as
surancc than were the cities full of
idle and men were clamoring at the
farmers door for employment.
Courage and hard work can't be
beaten in the long run, and those
who recognize this fact are in a way

who are now discouraged.
