A RULE OF HOSPITALITY.

''The constitution of the United States provides
methods for its own amendment" asserts the Phila-
delphia Bulletin, "but the anarchistic doctrine that
this ~justifes sedition is p~unctured by the Connecticut
court of errors in a manner that must commend it
self to all citizens. This tribunal has just decided
that the bill of rights does not allow aliens the privi-
lege of attempting to change the form of the United
States government.
'This authoritative ruling is in accordance with an
imposing body of opinion by publicists, who have ex-
amined anew the fundamental basis of the ~constitu-
tional guarantee of free speech. 1t is not an unquali-
fs,d right of American citizens when it conflicts with
the exercise and sanctity of the police powers of the
government in time of peace. In war time absolute
freedom of speech is Ypthinkable. But to invoke the
bill of rights at any ZINE to justify propaganda for
the subversion of republican institutions is a ~travesty.
mo alien who claims to be dissatisfied with the
United States government is required to live under it.
So long as he remains a guest of the nation he should
remember that he is here on suferance. If he ven
lures to be seditious in his verbal assaults on the gov
eminent he cannot successfully invoke the very in
strument that he asxails, excepting it be to protect
him from his own bad manners"

HOPPER YARNS.

Grasshopper stories are numerous and. tales Of de-
struction wrought upon growing crops and vegetation
incredible. Things are never as bad as they seem and
it is suspected that there has been some romancing
along with the facts in the case. The seasons prize
story comes out of Canada where at one point dead
grasshoppers covered the surface of the ST. Lawrence
river from bank to bank The jewellers along this
noble stream marveled but offered no explanation ac-
ton while floating merrily on to the Atlantic ocean.
The New York state agriculture department inves-
tigated and pronounced it suicide by Wholesale. The
as they advanced and when they reached the river
they were discouraged by the broad jump required to
reach the other. side so they formed a suicide pact,
selves to the joy of the denizens of that neighborhood
and the temporary suspension of boat service.
We recall a very destructive visitation of grasshop-
called them locusts, which is not a marker for the
Canadian account of what happened along the st.
Lawrence.

There is nothing in the world more beautiful than
an American girl. However she gets herself up she
adds her personal touch in taste and style that admits
of no rivalry among the girls of other nations. She
is our finest product and we worship her accordingly.
The more we see of her the more we find to admire.
She reveals new charms with each change in styles.
Someone has said that the angels have nothing on the
American girl, and spoiled it all by adding, that
neither have on enough to wad a single-barrel shotgun.
But surely we have grown sufficiently accustomed
to the passing show to conclude that we cannot change
1T and honest enough not to change it if we could. We
have had a good long season of railing and criticism,
and we have been worsted at every point.

LAWS o MEN.

''The American people should squelch the insidious
tendency of substituting men for laws" says Forbes
Magazine. president Harding, under the tariff bill,
asked for stupendous power to raise or lower tariff
schedules as he might see fit. Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon asked congress to give him an entirely free
hand in handling everything connected with the $780,
900, 900, 900 owed us by foreign countries. Amer
lean importers, under the tariff bill, as drafted, were
to be placed\at the mercy of appraisers in this coun-
try, who were to decide market value of certain classes
of imported goods, thus preventing the American buy
er from being able to know what the goods would ac-
tually cost him. The method of enforcing prohibition
appears to be left to the judgment of each individual
revenue official, with the result that certain practices
are held legitimate in one district and illegitlmate in
another district. s.
"The United States should be- governed by clearly
defined laws. The delegation of unfettered powers to
individuals, no matter how exalted, must be guarded
against. The citizen should know what his rights are
under the law and should not be subjected to the ca
price Of any individual outside the regular courts of
justice. It is bad enough to have the country over
run with Commissions of more varieties than there
were colors in Joseph's coat. To delegate untram-
meled power to any one individual is not in accord
ance with the American system of government and
certainly not in accordance with the desires of our
citizens"

BURY OUR FOLLY.

The present administration among other white eie-
plants inherited from the late lamented Wilson gov
ernment is a flock of white elephants in the wooden
ships built early in the war through mistaken judg-
ment that they would prove of value in transportation
of European freights. These ships are practically
worthless as there is no possible market for them. Mo-
body wants them. Nobody viii accept them even as
gifts, they have been a source of expense and a very
large source of graft and are a reminder of a very
unhappy day. Whatever can be p~roftably salraged
should be rescued from them and then the lot turned
o-e- to the navy for targets.
Let's take the loss, and bury our folly away out in
the Atlantic ocean.

~ NORMAN HArGooD.

Discussing the real meaning OF less
government in business" sometime
ago / said that the expression pointed
to a drive against the Federal Trade
Commission. That drive Is now on
full tilt.
some of my readers will remember,
perhaps. that / pointed out that all
the tendency is toward more govern
raent In business. Extensive land

ex port business. For the benent OF

The Department of Commerce. has
been the center for planning TO pro-
note business activity and straighten
cut business difficulties. Never In It's
history has II taken SO energetic q
part In the country's business. The
results have been general satisfaction.
Certainly not for eight years land
probably not for over twenty years)
fas business had as close and con-
slant contact with the political pow
ers, and as cordial a hearing as II
has today.
LESS REGULATION SOUGHT.
LESS government in business
then, on the promoting side, has no
meaning whatever. On that side IL is
altogether more government In bush
ness. Its total Significance Is to be
found on the regulative side. Less
regulation OF business is what
means, and 1t means that emphatl
caIly.
The three great reguiatfve bodies
are the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. the Federal Reserve Board
and the Federal Trade Commission.
They have heretofore all been sue
cessfully kept out of politics.
Whether any. or all Of them are to
be put into politics now will develop
soon. In the case of the Interstate
Commerce Commission the question
will penter entirely around the treat
ment OF the railroad problem. The
latest appointment was John J. Esch,
ar able man. but a man of course.
thoroughly committed to the policy
illustrated by the Esch-Cummings
bill.
President Harding has indicated
that he intended to let the Federal
Reserve Board go along as IL has
been going. The indication that there
would be an attempt to influence its
treatment of the credit situation was
not borne out. II has made its own
decisions regardless of suggestions
from outside.
TRADE COMMISSION ATTACK.
The attack on the Federal Trade
Commission. however, Is Immediate
and determined. The plan is to re-
duce IL to nuility by putting its
publicity powers in the Commerce
Department and its powers of control
In the hands of the Attorney General.

will be no sense at all In keeping
