MIR. Summers Argument


ter from Mr.. John S. Sumner, the
late Anthony Comstock's successor,
concerning Madeleine" 1t seems
rather hopeless to try to make our
point of view clear to such intel
lectuals as are there displayed. But
one point should be made in the in
terests Of accuracy.
Mr.. Sumner lays great stress on
a Tribune review of the book which
appeared on October "a, 1919. He
does not quote from this review.
But it was this review which first
called the attention of Mr.. Summers
society to the character of the book,
he states; this review formed part
of the record of the case; and thus,
Mr.. Sumner triumphantly exclaims,
he had "the encouragement of The
Tribune" in his prosecution.
The facts are, Of course, that the
review, written by Mr.. Haywood
Broun for this page, made no sug-
gestion whatever that the book
should be suppressed. Mr.. Broun
did not think the book a great or
valuable volume and said so. He
conceded that it Seemed to be true"
and was informative" but criti-
cized it because it was, in his judg-
ment, absolutely barren of any
philosophy built upon it's observed
facts" perhaps there are prob
lens in the world which are beyond
solution" he continued, "but at least
there is a certain satisfaction in
having an author suggest a remedy,
even if it is worth nothing. We
can't see that Madeleine has any
thing of the kind to offer" Nowhere
did Mr.. Broun characterize the book
as obscene or indecent.
That such criticism should seem
to Mr.. Summers mind "encourage-
ment" for a criminal prosecution de-
signed to suppress the book COM
pletely is apparently fair index of
Mr.. Summers mentality.
Equally he seems to argue that
Justice Smiths statement that he
can "see no useful purpose in the
publication of the book" justifes it's
suppression. The point is typical of
Mr.. Summers ridiculous pretensions
to moral censorship. Had he his
way literature would be constantly
filtered through the minds of a few
expert observers of vice to see
whether each writing served a use
full purpose in the Judgment of these
connoisseurs. The Bible and Shake
speare might get by, but how sadly
expurgated! No literature could
show wholesome growth under any
such preposterous tyranny of petty
minds.
MI. Sumner says that the decision
of the Appellate Division in regard
to madeleine" may have Serious
effects. We hope so. We hope it
will bring to an end the ill-advised
campaign which Mr.. Sumner has
begun and restrict his activities to
their legitimate field, the suppress
sion of that which is unmistakably
vicious and obscene.

sfEMRER or THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Whiting Down the Treaty

But in the mean time the Allied de-
inland for delivery of 100000 tons
a month has been whitfield down.
The new minimum is 100000 tons
3 month. The Germans want to de-
liver only 100000 tons monthly.
By the treaty Germany is pledged
to deliver 100000 tons of coal to
France for ten successive years. She
is also to supply the difference be-
tween the former annual output of
the French coal mines in the de-
.partments Of the Nord and Pas de
Calais and their present annual out
put. The delivery on this account
is not to exceed 100000 tons in
the first five years or 100000 in
the second five years. Germany has
contracted to turn 100000 tons a
year over to Belgium for a ten-year
period and to send Italy from 6,000,-
600 to 100000 tons a year for the
next ten years. She is, further
more, to deliver to Luxembourg an
amount equaling the pre-war an
nual consumption of German coal in
that country.
Germany's obligations in the way
of coal delivery amount to something
like 100000 tons a year. She
offers to contribute a little over 49,
100000 tons. The Allies have cut
their demands down to 100000
tons-a little more than half of the
treaty figure. So even if the Ger
man delegates bow to-day to the
revised ultimatum Germany will
have extorted concession of nearly
so per cent by her crafty policy OF
delay and notification.
The Allies won the war in a mill
tary sense. But they never reaped
the fruits of victory. They are
gradually losing the peace. At no
point at which the Germans seri-
ously resisted execution has the
treaty gone into effect in it's original
sense.
The Allied breakdown goes back
to arnistice days. The American
people wanted to force Germany into
an unconditional surrender. The
President, however, accepted Ber-
Inns offer to make peace on the basis
Of the Fourteen Points. Mr.. Will
sons attempts to apply the Fourteen
Points when it suited his convenience
and to dodge them at other times
divided the Allied governments at
Paris and killed the concert which
was needed to vitalize and enforce
the treaty. Because he couldn't get
the treaty ratified in the form in
which he signed it the President has
drawn abruptly out Of the Allied Su-
preme Council. We have no repre-
sentative at Spa. We had none at
San Reno. We are not contribut-
ing anything to make Germany live
up to the obligations which Allied
victory and the treaty imposed on her
Germany is playing adroitly on
the failures of the peace conference
and the dissensions which have
arisen among the Allies. Mr.. Will
sons policy has been godsend to
her. Americans who fought the war
and knew what they were fighting
for must deplore the steady relaxa-
ton of pressure on a defaulting en-
envy. Another President must sit
in the White House before the
United States can again be made a
real guarantor of the Versailles
peace. Till then one Spa conference
after another will probably merely
mark the progress of the unremit
ting German campaign for treaty
modification and notification.

SONORA REVOLT
is SPREADING
WILL RESIST ANY ATTEMPT BY
cARRANZA TO REGAIN
STATE.
REPUBLIC OF SONORA
ALL FEDERAL PROPERTY HAS
BEEN SEIZED AT NooALEs
AND Aqua PRIETA.
Western Newspaper Union New. Service.


Nogales, Sonora, April 12.-Custom
houses and all property of the federal
government of Mexico have been for
mally seized in the name of the Re
public of Sonora" here.
The customs house at Aqua Prieta,
across the line from Douglas, Arix.,
has been seized in the name of the
Sonora state government and armed
men are guarding the building. The
immigration office and the postoffice
also have been taken over by state
authorities.
The employees of the customs office
and of the other federal departments
have declared their loyalty to the state
government.
Sonora state officials, headed by
Adolpho de la Huerta, governor of So
preme Power of the Republic of So
nora" by the State Congress, declared,
while the state had seeded, it would
return to the Mexican republic upon
guarantees from the national admin
%istration that there would be no in
fringement Of the states rights by the
federal government.
The secession, according to the off,
Gals, was brought about by C~arranEa
ordering federal troops into the state.
They said the next move was up to
Carranza. Unless he acts, political
leaders of Sonora said, the new repub-
lie would defy the Mexican federal
government and resist with armed
forces n attempt of Carranza to
take back the state by force.
Gen. P. Elias Gales, former COVER
o of Sonora, and who recently re-
signed from the Carranza cabinet, has
been made supreme military COM
mander of the states military forces.
Gales has issued a proclamation call
ing for volunteers and calling on all
soldiers in the state to rally against
any threatened invasion by Carranza
forces.
Spread of the secession movement
to other states, unless the Mexican
government acts quickly, was fore
cast.
The Sinaloa State Congress, accord
ing to information received here, has
Endorsed the action of the Sonora Con
gress in demanding constitutional
rights, and Lower California, accord
ing to these reports, is expected to do
the same. Slnaloa politics are closely
interviewer with Sonora's, and both
states are largely controlled by Gen.
Alvaro Obregon.

CANS BETTER THAN BUCKETS
Most Convenient for Collecting Milk
al Barns and Conveying IL to
the House.

MIX and cream from even a few
COWS can be much more conveniently
handled in regular milk cans than In
the shallow pans and wide-mouthed
buckets commonly used. Cans are con-
v~enient for collecting the milk at the
barn and transferring 1t to the house.
These cans may be bought in vari-
ous sizes. For handling cream and
skimmilk where separators are used,
or even where cream is set to sour for
buttermaking, the shotgun can" is
very convenient. It can be easily COW
cred and set In water and is conven-
lent to handle.
