A STREAK OF POOR MORALS.


The large number of farmers in tie
vicinity of Newport who have pleaded
either guilty OF nolo eontendere to the
charge of selling watered milk sug-
gests the suspicion that a streak of
poor morals is running through the
people. 1t makes no difference wheth-
er the milk is sold to a great milk
handling corporation or to the most
lowlv consumer on a milk cart route +;
Knowingly to sell milk that is not
milk is a dishonest act which finds no
|palliation. Those same farmers who
have admitted that they sold watered
milk would call it dishonesty if a
storekeeper should sell them sugar
made up in large part of sand or 9th
or good mixing substances, yet the
suggestions oflense Of the s%torekecp-
|sr would be no more serious than their
oifense of selling watered milk. We
presume that the numerous prosecd-
tions which have been brought recent
lv are the result Of the complaints
made by a certain big milk handling
corporation, and We are ready to say
that that big corporation has been
doing a splendid turn by exposing
these farmers. while at the same ime
it has been protecting itself. Perhaps
We cannot make men honest by la1,
but we can prevent them from excrcls-
ing their dishonesty to a certain O.
tent.

Whatever reliance may be placed on
the opinion of Gov. Bradford of the
old Massachusetts colony that the
death among the Pilgrim fathers was
in part due to drinking of too much
water, it may be put down for a fact
that in these closing days of 1920 men
are dying for whiskey-dying after
they have been shot in an effort to
get it or to protect it from being stol-

The Spirit of Christmas

The true spirit of Christmas never meant 50 much nor seems
so full of promise as it does to-day.
While peoples minds are given over to evil f~orebodings and
the clouds of gloom cast their shadows here and there, the TACT
that we may turn our thoughts to the higher and better things
as revealed to us through the spirit of Christmas, IS a blessing be-
yond measure.
tits probably true that we are taking our troubles altogether
too seriously; we are thinking TOO mucn ABOUT Ge tnso 0H"e
will never happen.
To be ready to meet an emergency is to avert it; prepara-
ton is prevention.
The fact is that this country is fundamentally stronger fnan-
cially and economically to-day than it has been at any time during
the last six years and while our problems, social, political ana eco
nomic, loom large on the horizon, the process of solution is gong
forward in an orderly manner to the ultimate benefit OF all
During the last two or three years of socalled boom times
with its swollen and fictitious profits, ~far-sighted captains OF IN.
dustry and finance have been preparing for the inevitable day OF
reaction. Consequently, the large financial interests upon whose
shoulders the burden of transition must naturally rest are ready
to assume this burden and are to-day lending their resources IN
a manner that is commanding the respect and admiration OF all
honest business men.
If we can only keep cheerful and approach our little prob
lens with courage and fidelity, we shall be doing much to stimu-
late confidence in those who have the handling of the big prob
lens.
This country is coming through, if indeed it has not already
crossed the threshold of a new era of sound prosperity based on
honest values; of this there can be no mistake.
The spirit of Christmas is a condition of the mind and heart;
a condition, the presence of which, is much needed to-day IN all
lines of commercial intercourse. Business and business men need
a new mental aspect and a more generous heart impulse; tins
may be called the psychology of business, but til more than that,
it is the practice Of sound business ethics.
If we will live in the atmosphere of this spirit every day
through the coming year, the voice of the calamity bowler will be
a fading echo.
To carry through another years service the Christmas spirit
of honorable conduct toward the affairs of those whose conf
dence we hold, is, for this bank, an obligation that we gladly ac-
cept as an i~mpershabe Christmas gift

A SCCIALISTIC SCHEME.

Many of us, perhaps the most of US,
have thought that government control of
certain public utilities was solely and en-
tirely a war measure made necessary by
the exigencies of the conflict with the
Central Powers. Probably not more
than one man or woman in a thousand
knows that the War Department, OF
which Newton D. Baker is in control,
asked Congress to pass bill to create a
Federal Corporation. The text of this
proposed bill disclosed that its purpose
and intent was to make it possible and
lawful for the government to operate, not
only public utilities but any and all busl-
nesses. The capital stock of this cor
poration was first to be s125, 00O,0 600 and
this could be increased without limit,
and was to be 'real property" The bill
lands, materials, patented processes and
anv other thing which the corporation
might lind necessary in the conduct OF
its business, to lease other properties and
to operate and develop the properties
taken or leased, and to sell the products
thereof to consumers in domestic and ex-
port markets in competition with estab-
lished merchants, manufacturers and pro-
ducers." The capital stock, SIPS, 900, 600,
was to be taken out of the United States
treasury, after being put there either by
taxation or by a bond issue, which ulti-
matelv is taxation. The money of the
people was to be used in driving part OF
the people out of business.
There were to be 100000 shares OF
stock held presumably by the treasury OF
the United States and the bill provided
that no dividends were to be paid on the
stock and of course the stock was not
taxable. This proposed bill was not con-
sidered seriously in Congress. Its pas
sage would have opened wide the doors
to socialism, industrial ruin and national
bankruptcy Mr.. Cox and several other
eminent Democrats are shouting that the
Republican congress failed to do anything
of importance. We think they will admit
that when Congress threw this bill into
the waste basket it put crimp into Bak-
erism, Burlesonism, McAdooism, and all
the other ism inflicted advocates Of gov
eminent ownership.

1t will be remembered that about year
ago the coal miners of Kansas struck and
there was an impending coal famine in
that State. Henry j. Allen, the stalwart
governor of that State, called upon its
citizens to work in the coal mines, and by
thousands they responded, coming from
the college campus, from the factories,
the stores and the farms. The governor
protected them from molestaton and the
people of the State were supplied with
coal. In the recent primary held in Kan
sas Gov. Allen was candidate for re-
nomination. He was opposed by the
unions and by the Non-Partisan League.
He was renominated by a majority of

A LAW UNTO HIMSELF

When the so-called anti-strike bill was
before Congress there was one section
which Mr.. Samnel Gompers thought
might put him out of the agitating busi-
ness. He lost no time in telling Congress
that if this section was enacted into law
he would not hesitate to violate it. That
was anarchistic. That was the threat of
a blatant demagogue. The safety of the
government of the United States wisely
refused to be bulldozed by Mr.. Gompers.
When any man, it matters not who he
is, in what political party he belongs, or
what position he holds in the business or
the labor world, says to Congress that he
will not hesitate to violate certain law,
that man should be Pot down as belong
ing in the l. w. w. class and be treated
accordingly. There are orderly ways for
contesting the legality of any law. If
this threat came from an irresponsible
malcontent there would be no need to
call public attention to it, but MI Com
pers stands forth as the leader of thous-
ands of men who for years have, in the
main, followed his advice. When he has
put himself on record as being ready to
violate a law which does not suit him it
is timely and necessary to put him in the
class where he belongs. We do not be-
lieve MIR. Gompers can control the or
sanized labor men of this country to the
extent of making them violators of the
law. With comparatively few excep-
lions the working men of this country
are intelligent, honest and patriotic.

POLAND

Events in Poland are demonstrating to
the world that the covenant of the League
of Nations is merely high sounding pre-
tense Article 10 of the covenant con-
slsts entirely of two sentences, the first
being a promise and the second COM
mand. The first sentence says: "The
mem Ders of the League undertake to re-
spect and preserve as against external
aggression the territorial integrity and
existing political independence of all
members of the League" Poland is
member of the league. A large army of
Russians differed by German generals
and munitioned to considerable extent
from German arsenals, are invading Po-
land and fighting her soldiers on battle
lines more than eighty miles long. This
is external aggression" against her ''ter-
ritorial integrity and existing political
independence" and now seems likely to
result in a division of her territory,
part to Russia and part to Germany as
the spoils of war. The purpose of the
invaders is to wipe Poland from the map
of Europe. She will have, if conquered,
neither territory nor political existence.
The second sentence of Article 10 says:
'In case of any such aggression or IN
case of any threat or danger of such ae-
gression the council shall advise upon the
means by which this obligation (meaning
the first sentence of Article 100 shall be
fulfilled" England, France, Japan, Greece,
Portugal, Brazil, Switzerland and several
other nations are members of the league.
1.-THE Council shall advise" 1t adjourned
from recent meeting and did not obey
that command 1t blandlF ignored the
injunction of Article 10 as completely as
the members of the league have ignored
the obligation laid upon them by its first
sentence. Not one of them except France
has vet undertaken in any way to pre-
serve the territorial integrity and existing
INDEPENDENCE" of Poland. There is, at the
present time, no indication or apparent
probability that any member of the league
ever will do so in an effective way. 70
land has been advised to ''sue for peace"
Perhaps this is the sub-rosa advice gwen
by the council 1t certainly is the advice
of LLOYD George and Marshal Foch. We
are perfectly willing to accept their sd-
vice instead of that of the league because
ENGLAND and France have been from the
first, and are now, in complete control OF
the league. There are some people III
this country and many in Europe VINO
say the league is impotent because tne
United States refused to join it. In otner
words, without us the league can do moth
ing. 1t therefore logically follows that IL
we were in the league we would have 10
do it all, We were to be the working and
fighting member of this wonderful ~
peace corporation. American soldiers
were to be the lads to preserve all Europe
and a part of Asia against external ag-
erosion, and the august Supreme Coun-
Gil was to tell them where and when to /

tool and policeman of a foreign junta. It
is now fairly evident that England and
France have been the league from its
adoption to its present state of utter
moral collapse. Poland has been left to
her fate and her territory is being taken
from her by cruel and merciless external
aggressors. At the first real test of sin
certify the league has funked. 1t has been
weighed in the balance and found want
ing. 1t has stultified itself.
