A WONDERFUL WOMAN.

That most wonderful old woman.
Sarah Bernhardt. has just scored another
triumph in that Paris which loves her.
Bernhardt Is scventy-hve. she Is almost
blind and has been for some wears 80
lame that she cannot move without some
thing 10 lean heavily upon. And Vet she
reappeared in her own theater IN Racine $
'sAthalie" one Of the triumphs of her
golden yonth, and again had all Paris NJ
her feet as wears ago.
II is idle 10 suppose that the procession
of distinguished persons who made visits
TO her dressing room door between the
acts of this amazing revival were paying
q tribute 10 Bernhardt's art Art such AS
hers in her prime does not survive the loss
of strength. the encroachment OF a feeble
and restricted movement. and even the
fading OF that voice of old whose in
fections were celebrated the world around
But Mime. Deschanel wife of the Presi-
dent of French Republic, and many
leaders of art and leteraturc were eager
TO paw tribute 10 the woman who has been
one Of the glories Of France and who has
surmounted obstacles and misfortunes
which would have crushed less lndomin-
able spirit. Bernhardt's art has already
passed into history, but her courage will
last as long as her breath and that courage
will always evoke the admiration which il
so richly deserves. Brooklyn Eagle.

PRESS COMMENTS.
TRUE FRATERNITY.

The story Of how the Order Of Elks
turned itself into Big Brother society
for the benefit Of the disabled soldiers is
one of the most inspiring narratives that
have come out OF the war. As told be-
fore the House committee on education
by Mr. J. w Lysons Of the War Reiief
Commission organized by the Elks, IT
shows combination of sympathy and
practical assistance that deserves to stand
as a model. Finding itself Mt the signing
Of the armistiSe with unappropriated
funds the Commission selected from
numerous suggestions for the disposition
of this moenv the plan of aiding the work
of the Board for Vocational Education.
The.stIm of S1OO, 900 was set aside for tins
purpose. and an additional sum Of 5000, 600
was made available as "a revolving fund to
he lent to young men in training who were
in need of aid There were many soldiers
who were unable TO enter training because
they did not have money for their first
months expenses. What have been the
results? or the total Of %, 900 men IN
training under the Vocational Board, no
fewer than 22 .574 have received help from
the Elks The amount loaned to them
has reached over 100000, OF which over
100000 has been repaid.
This is the smaller half of the story.
What the Elks really gave was something
rarer and more precious then money
human sympathy and persistent personal
effort. This was needed IN special
manner. Men had to be persuaded to
take up vocational training. Some OF
them had the feeling that the country owed
them living Some were earning good
incomes by selling or even begging on the
street. Some were disheartened. In
many instances. representatives OF the
Elks went before the Board and worked
to shorten the delay than hung over IL
like curse All these activities required
tact and patience as well as the will TO
help. The Elks have gwen a notable
of true communal effort.

THE COOKIE JAR.

THE COOKIE JAR.
You can riu up house with oil manner
o! things,
The prayer rugs Of sultans and princes
You can hang on its walls the old tapes
Which some dead Egyptian once treas,ir-
ed with care,
But though costly and gorgeous its
furnishings are,
IT must have, 10 lie homelike, an old
cookie jar.
There are just few things that home
must possess,
Despite all your money and all your s,ic-
cess
A few good old books which some loved
one had read,
Some trinlets of those whose sweet spirits
have fed,
And then in the pantry, not showed back
too far
For the hungry to get to, that old cookie
jar
Let the house be mansion, care not at
ALL
Let the finest of pictures be hung on each
wall,
Let the carpets be made of the richest
velour,
And the chairs only those which great
wealth can procure,
Id still want to keep for the JOY of my
flock
That honey, old-fashioncd, well-filled
cookie crock.
Like the love of the mother IL shines
through our years,
II has soothed all our hurts and has dried
away tears;
i has paid us for toiling, in sorrow or Joy,
II has always been kind TO each girl and
each boy;
And I'm sorry for people, whoever they
are,
Who live in house where there's no
cookie lar

Treaty effective and the League blessing
to all the world, still remains alien and
unsympathizing. BY rejecting the Treaty
and the League Covenant it has declared
itself still at war with Germany, and has
left the League Of Nations impotcnt by
lack of corporation.
What a sad record. How humiliating
TO our country and our people. How con-
trary to all our high professions at our
entrance upon the field Of war. How
unhappy in ite effects. Europe is still in
state of distraction. People are suffering
and international business is demoralized.
Complete restoration of peace is halted
because we will not say the potent word
or do the one thing that alone remains
to be done to make peace absolute.
Partisanship has wrought the mischief
that patriotism would have averted. And
the country is shamed and Inundated,
the whole world distressed.

Partisan Scheme for Peace.

The Republican leaders in Congress
now plan TO put through the House,
ahead of action in the Senate, resolution
declaring that the war with Germany is
at an end. The strategy of this move is to
have the resolution come over from body
which had nothing to do with rejection of
the Treaty of Peace and the Senate then
may act upon a resolution initiated IN the
lower body. There is pending in the Senate
the Knox resolution declaring peace with
Germany, but the program OF the Re-
publican Congress is said To have been
mapped out recently along the lines of
House action first.
Republicans Of the lower body in con-
sidering such peace resolution will he
taking a step to ''save the faces" ot their
party colleagues in the Senate, who were
mainly responsible for the defeat OF the
Treaty of Versailles Having rejected the
Treaty negotiated by the President the Re-
publicans set up the claim that substan-
tiallv the attainment of peace may be had
by the simple passage of joint resolu-
tion saving that the war with Germany
is no more and demanding of Germany
that she accepted certain conditions Of the
rejected treaty.
There is grave doubt among constitu-
tional lawyers that war may be brought to
an end BY resolution of Congress.
Outside of ordinary disadvantages of such
a prosecure. there are serious compica-
,ions involved affecting International re-
lations, resumption of commercial and
diplomatic relations, title to property
acquired during the war by the United
States and many other problems.
The situation m the Republican Con-
xress is such, however, that some effort
must be made 10 convince the country
hat the United States is at peace with
Germany. Though IL Is an unprecedented
step. the Republican leaders will contend
hat the Congress which declared war NAV
,lso declare peace although there is moth
ne In the Constitution about a peace so
about. The scheme is merely a

APROGRESSIvE REACTIONARY.

Senator Hiram W Johnson. once a
conspicuous Progressive. still lmagines
himself to be progressing and shudders at
reaction. Ifear reaction, he says. Who
is talking more for It, who is seeking more
ardently to commit the United states
and the world 10 it. than heP
The new hope, the advance IN human
relations, the chief permanent benefit
that Americans and men and women of
every race who do not accept periodical
waste and slaughter rs the permanent
doom of humankind, is the League Of
Nations. the lesseninp of the frequency Of
wars, the means OF setting up practicable
international machinery OF reason, adj
judication. delay, arbitration, and finally
of an effective pressure upon international
hatreds, ambitions, economic and terri
torial adventures and aggrandizements,
The old system, the balance OF power
and all that, is reaction. What Is the use
of happiness of living If the world RECEIVERS
from exhaustion. from overwhelming
taxation, from epIdcmics, famlnes, wide
spreading social disaster and intOlerable
financial burdens only to repeat the same
experience of ruin Civilization will not
be proof against these constant drains
There must be something better or despair

THE PRICE OF COAL.

ANY increase IN the cost of mining coal
must necessarily result IN one of two
things reduction in the profits Of the
operators OF an increase of the selling
price of the coal. 1t is not difficult TO
guess which alternative Will be adopted,
in the absence OF any government authority
for the regulation of the price. But there
ought to be some authority empowered
TO see that if the price shall be advanced
it shall not be made the pretext for the
exaction Of additional profits from the
longsuffering public.
1t has been so often the experience of
the consumers that every increase in the
miners wage scale has been attended not
by corresponding increase in the retail
prices of coal but by an addition sometimes
twice the increase in the cost. This ex-
perience has made the consumer sensitive
on the subject, suspicious of the explana-
tions offered by the coal trade and dis
posed to be skeptical OF the necessity of
any price increases at all. Suspicion and
discomfort of this sort is the fertile soil in
which popular sentiment for the nationali-
zation of the mines is apt to grow

An tnwise Action.

The manifest sentiment OF the country
is that the New York Assembly acted
with unwisdom and injustice IN rejecting
the fyc Socialist Assemblymen on the
plea that the platform on which they
were elected wasunpatriotic, eventreason-
able. in its declarations The platform
does not sustain this indictment Their
rejection from the places TO which they
were elected. therefore. stands forth
as an outrage and violent overthrow of
the honest results of popular verdict
This blow at free governAent comes al
most unfortunate time. We of this
country have not yet felt impelled to look
upon Socialism as a danger, but as
largely nuisance. That this was the
popular view was sttested by the manner
in which the Socialist vote was dwindling
But now the Socialist party has an issue
upon which to appeal TO the people with
some degree of justice. A considerable
increase in the Socialist vote az the
November elections. especially in New
York State, may be looked for. Nothing
so helps a political cause, no matter how
unpopular or unappealing it NAV be, as
10 make il the victim of outrage and
injustice

FORCE OF AMERICAN OPINION.

Through all the defiant speeches of the
British members OF Parliament and writers
shows the gleam of fact that American
opinion is respected and that some anxiety
exists as to the possibility of its antagonism.
Whether the Irish question is purely
domestic one or not, as the British claim
it is one exciting much interest outside Of
England, particularly in this country,
and there must be some measure of Justice
in its settlement to affect opinion in this
country, for opinion is going to be formed
and to have influence, whether il is de-
rided or not.
No nation in these days can afford to
have i'll repute with another, as the con
dition of Germany is practically proving.
