A Stumbling Block

Some people nag and oppose others
who are trying to reform along lines
of moral decency, propriety in dress,
and many other things. They are
ever ready with the help of Satan to
tear down the efforts for reform OF
the better minded class of people
We were not trained in this country
to dress quite nude like the natives
of India who marry at the age of ten
and twelve years. but we are civil :
lied people.
Reformers have been alta ked and
abused by dictatorial. unprncipled
evil minded people who are ever
ready to thrust their insults upon the
whole world. And furthermore. those
people want free speech themselves,
but show desire TO muzzle the
mouths of those who out of decency
and kindness would wish to make
this world a better place to live in
and honor our country which has
been the grandeSt nation on earth.

A New Peace Conference.
Chicago Tribune)


Any conference for a general limi-
tation Of armament must resolve it
self into discussion of all major
problems of international friction
The Presidents proposal to the great
powers is therefore in reality an in
vitation to another peace confer
ence.
1t is not necessary to enlarge upon
the importance of this step IF there
has been anything obvious in the
state of the world since 1919. it is
that the work OF the Paris confer
enCe was badly done and that much
Of it would have to be undone. At
times it has seemed that Versailles
had ruined Europe, but the forces Of
life have been strong enough to COM
bat the mischief and European So
ciety is still afloat
Yet the eravest weaknesses remain.
The nations are still bearing a heavy
burden OF armament and a heavier
burden of economic restrictions i'm
posed by selfish policy or fears. The
economic organization of Europe has
been demoralized and is not being
apparently restored. It is traversed
and impeded by political and military
policies to the impoverishment of
Europe and the imperiling of western
society.

IVORY DoMES, MANIAcS AND
GASOLINE

The Journals local columns told of
the visit of Cannon BALI Baker in
battle ship gray car Saturday even
ing. This was said to be the same ma
chine in which he travelled from New
York to Los Angeles, in six days, II
hours and 33 minutes. We do not
like to think it was Baker but it was
someone driving battle gray ma
chine that turned a sharp, corner on
the Augusta Winthrop road late Sat-
urday afternoon at speed which
easily would take him from New York
to Los Angeles in the above men
toned time and terrible accident was
only averted by the sheerest luck.
Just east of the sharp turn men
toned a car going west had broken
down and was being repaired. 1t

a car going west in order TO get by
would have to turn inside ii. Such a
car was about 20 do this when the
gray machine came around the
curve at terrible speed, just avoiding
collision with the broken down car.
Had it been a half minute later it
must have struck the car going west
in passing the broken down car with
results one doesn't like to con-
template, but with which the news
columns are filled.
There was no possible excuse for

And this raises the question what
right anyone has to drive over the
roads occupied for purposes of legiti-

his car? Ought not the manufacture

NAVAL MISMANAGEMENT

1t is regrettable that an investiga-
ton into the management of naval
affairs during the Daniels regime
cannot escape suspicious of partisan
bias, notwithstanding the majority
report did not resort to conjecture
and the minority objections were
based on the accepted generality that
we had brave navy which ac-
compIished wonders.
a defensive in place of an agrees
sive policy WAS what might have been
expected Of Mr. Daniels and the ma
jority OF the committee finds that the
evidence submitted prove it. Any
how the evidence has been collected
and gone on record ana ought to
have some value in advising future
mana gementS. Admiral Sims, of
course came in for round criticism
by the Democrats of the committee.
but the testimony is said TO support
most of his charges. OF his principal
charge that half a million lives We're
lost and billions Of property because
of the inefficient management OF the
navy at the beginning of the war the
ma ority of the committee accept the
truth Of inefficiency and express the
opinion that great losses resulted but
do not attempt attempt to estimate
the extent OF the mischief, holding
that to be conjecture. They do find,
however, that during 1918 the war
vas carried on creditably, that many
OF Sims suggestions. heretofore
neglected, were put into effect.
Whatever the committee might or
might not have done we are Under
the impression that in event Of
another war Josephus Daniels would
not be called to the mana cement of
our navy. And when all is said and
done the country is Indebted to Ad
miral Sims for calling attention to
the short Comings, although his view
point probably was prejudiced in
some degree.
