that he may be given another repriere
from formal hearing.
Caillaux's record has been unsavory.
He was involved while premier in sew
eral difficulties closely .verging upon
scandal. While minister of the in
terror in a subsequent ministry he was
accused of official improperly. When
his wife killed Camette, editor of FL
garo, in the. early spring Of 1914, he
was openly accused, though not form
ally, of being in unduly intimate re-
lationship with Germany. The wife
was acquitted, though not before Gail
lau1 had been seriously involved in an
intrigue for the suppression of GER
tain documents. to prevent the pub
lication Of which, it was alleged, the
crime had been committed
IF Caillau1 is not put on trial and
the doubts regarding his loyalty set
tied, for or against him. suspicion will
prevail that the French governmen
does not wish to press the case to a
conclusion for fear Of revealing con-
dition that may involve others.

Steel Strike Suspended.

Formal announcement comes from
Pittsburgh that the steel strike, for
recognition of the union, which began
September %, has been formally sus-
pended. The men are ordered to 60
back to work, and so far as places re-
main for them they will probably be
taken to their old jobs. 1t is not as
sured. however, that all of them will
get back to work in their former
places. Many of them have gone to
other employments.- Others may find
their places in the mills filled by sub
stitutes whom their employers may
prefer to keep. The skilled men who
are needed will doubtless be taken
back.
The strike has been failure. But
it is declared that a campaign of edu
cation and "preparation' is to be un-
dertaken at once, and this doubtless
means that the country will witness a
series of agitations designed to bring
about a renewal of the strike vt some
date regarded as favorable. The steel
industry thus gains truce from hos
tilities. The countrys hope is that
meanwhile a system of adjustments
may have been devised and generally
adopted to prevent such disturbance
as renewed strike would cause.
Apart from the financial losses in
volved. which affect other industries
and all building works and employ
ments. in many lines, there is always
grave danger Of rioting and bloodshed
in a strike Of this character.

The Caillaux Case.

Two years ago Joseph Caillaux, for.
mer premier Of France, was arrested
on charge of espionage. His name
had been connected with reasonable
movements in France since the out.
break Of the war, but until January,
1918, nothing tangible had been de-
veloped. He was imprisoned and
from time to time his trial was or.
dered. but was as often postponed.
Today he is to appear before the sen
ate sitting as high court. Even now,
however, postponement is the order
of the day, and it is expected that an
other delay will be granted, for at
least fortnight. possibly longer.
There is something mysterious in
the reluctance of the French authori.
ties to bring Caillaux to trial. Since
his accusation others have been ar.
rested, tried and executed. Caillaux
has seemed to have charmed exist.

Germany Fighting Bolshevism,

With martial law proclaimed
throughout Germany, that country is
once more in state of grave turmoil,
resulting from the agitations of So
cialists who wish to establish the gov
ernment upon the Russian soviet basis.
Rioting has occurred in Berlin and
elsewhere and many persons have been
slain The government dominates the
situation at present, but there are
signs that the radicals are not fully
subdued. but are gathering forces for
renewed attack.
This present trouble in Germany is
the outcome of a bill recently intro
dueed in the reichstag to place all
workmen's councils under government
control. Yesterdays rioting was caused
directly by the gathering Of mob
of demonstrants before the reichstag
building protesting against the pas
sage of this measure.
Germany has not regained balance
since the revolutionary movement
which set in just before the armistice
was signed. Order has prevailed for
some months, but the economic con-
ditioRs have been bad and unrest has
prevailed in all parts of the new re-
public. The soviet propaganda has
continued secretly. The movement
toward establishing workmen's coun-
ellis has advanced steadily until the
so-called "exploitation law" was pro-
posed as a measure Of prevention.
Apparently the government domi-
mates. Doubtless if the question were
left to the people they would vote for
continuance Of the present system.
The Germans do not want more war
fare. They have had enough. There
is no glory in civil strife. The suf.
feriSgs Of the past FIVE and q hah
years have made peace assume 1 bless.
ed aspect. Revolution toward soviet
ism is certain to bring bloody results,
and the average Teuton today wants
nothing 30 much as quiet and an op-
portunity to rebuild business.
The sympathy Of all but the adyo-
Gates Of bolshevism will be with the
German government in this crisis, de-
spite the asperities and bitterness of
feeling due to the great war. What
ever the sins Of its predecessor, and
whatever its own shifty maneuverings
in the peace adjustment, the govern
ment at Berlin nevertheless stands to-
day as breastwork against the red
menace that tends westward from it's
Russian center. If Germany becomes
bolshevized there is danger of a
further spread Of this poison.

Publicity.

In the matter of the FIVE socialist
members of the New York state as
sembly whose suspension Is to be m
vestigated by a committee of that
body open sessions are to be held.
Publicity was ordered on the motion
of Theodore Roosevelt-his first mo-
ton as a member of the assembly,
and q most creditable debut.
The open door in all such business
is the thing. The people are entitled
to such a policy. and just now are in
the humor to insist upon it. They
want nothing in their interest done in
seeret-nothing done in a corner.
The inestimable value of publicity
was never more eonspicuOusly proved
than in the handling of the peace
treaty by the Senate. Under the rule
of that body, the pact would have been
examined and debated behind closed
doors. @
Had the rule been followed the: pub
lie would have had to depend fer re-
ports upon leakings and inventions !;
and yarns would have become a. sort
of industry. The Importance of the
subject and the keenness of curiosity
would have stimulated invention. and
the whole six months of the debate
been marked by yarn after yarn Of
more or less sensational import and
effect; and as a result many senators
injured temporarily in their reputa-
tions.
Fortunately, however, for the treaty,
the Senate, and the public, the doors
of the. chamber were left open and
the people invited in. They gladly
accepted and filed the galleries when
ever the treaty was under discussion.
The press carried liberal daily ac-
counts. Senators were not left at the
mercy of leakings and inventions, but
permitted to utter their views and
record their votes in the sight and
hearing Of crowds.
Today, had secret sessions Of the
Senate been held, we should probably
have an intolerable situation. Asser-
tions and denials would be filing the
air and great confusion rampant. In
stead, the public is advised as to the
words and votes Of every member Of
the Senate on every feature Of the
treaty the protracted debate devel-
oped. 81 Is-'s-
The President has not at any time
on any subject proposed anything
better than "open covenants, openly
arrived at" That policy should pre-
vail. The people are taking livelier
interest in the conduct of their af-
fairs, and holding public servants to
. more rigid accountability, than for
merly. The spirit Of Missouri has
overspread the United States. Every
body wants to be shown.
The only way to meet this spirit
and satisfy it is to comply with it.
It cannot safely be snubbed or de-
MED. 1t is the spirit Of democracy,
working at time, Of general unrest
and intense ferment.

. Virginia district for, April, to fl .
vacancy caused by the death Of Rep,
resentative Watson.
Both districts are, democratic, but
in both tie republicans are .orsanized
and throw good yets. the expecta-
tion is that, both will remain in the
democratic column. e
The Missouri republicans have more
heart in, their work as q rule than
their Virginia brethren. They have
some successes to their credit. A few
years ago they elected q governor, and
twice within the past decade they
have elected a United States senator.
Ono Of the Missouri senators at pres

In Virginia the story is that Of un.
interrupted democratic success. The
republicans in state matters seem I'd
