THE PAkDoN REFUSAL.

That the country will approve the 'ac- ton taken by President Wilson in refus- ing to pardon Ds1s there can be no question. TheIs was of course an Ioppor- unity furnished through the recdn1mefl- dation of the departf1ent of justke to have approved it and ended the term at Atlanta of the man who declares that he would do again regardless of the laws what he is now serving time in prison for doing. It is in fact upon similar recommenda tions that extensive use is made of the pardoning power But 1t did not prevail in this instance and it is well that it did not. Debs was convicted under the law, which he fully understood
 His violation was deliberate and it is only proper that he should serve his time quite the same as others. And in View of all the conditions there is far less req son why leniency should bo shown in the case of Debs than in some others.
 In this connection it will be interesting to note the outcome of the Berger case where the conviction has been set aside. not because of any claim of unfairness in the trial but because of the allegation that the judge in the case was prejudiced. There is no reason to believe that the outcome would have been any different who may have been the judge. There was ths same wIlful disregard s6r the establishsd law made necessary during an emergency.
 The fact that the supreme court of the United States has ruled upon the point raised regarding prejudice does not affect the facts in the case They can and should be presented again. The action of the supreme court virtually calls fol new trial and the fact that an appea las been successful on 2 matter outsid, of the violation of the law ought not tt prevent a disposition of the case upo1 it's merits Berger now stands as if h, had never been brought to trial and cer tainly the fact that this situation hai been delayed until after the war Is eve
 and some of the war legislation reseind
 ed ought not to Dc allowed to white
 wash his conduct.

Some of the warships will lave to be put out of commission and be left with only skeleton crews but there will be sufficient ready for use to meet the requirements of the country.

GERMANY's BILL.

It is only natural that Germany should not regard the terms submitted by the allies as final, but regard them as a baSis for negotiations. That is the at titude that it has taken in regard to other points involved in the treaty and will be remembered that as the result or the negotiations which have been car ried on Germany has received important concessions. Germany has in fact come So far from complying with the strict terms Of the treaty that it apparently feels justified in taking the attitude that all that is needed is to continue to op- pose and it's point of view will be more or less conceded, or that it will in the end get a removal of part of the bur- den.
 As long as Germany can get away with the policy it is a good one for it tc pursue even though under it it seems to carry the idea that it didn't lose the war but that it compromised the outcoms and thus cannot be forced to carry out the orders of the victors except as fl pleases.
 Germany maintains that it cannot pay what is demanded of it. That is a stand which might be expected, and one upor which great stress will be laid It vii strive to show why it cannot meet tn, bill and why it should be relieved of tn, heavy drain.
 It is well known by Germany as vel as by others that there can be no erea war launched for the purpose of collect ing the bill. The people will not stanc for it but that should not be suffcien reason why 1t should escape its bill 0 expense to other nations It is putin, into effect great economies and it is re viving it's unharmed industries even a Belgium and France have restored man, of theirs. Germany can do much nor than it thinks it can or much more thai it is willing to admit.

CUTTING OPERATING COSTS.

Tho national labor board has been pre- sented a hard quection by Vice President Atterbury of the railway executives as- sociation when it is asked to abroea te the national agreements existing between the railroads and their employes. The purpose of this is to get rid of the agree ments that the railroads may individual ly deal with the conditions faced at the present time instead of each operating under an agreement which pertains to the whole country.
 The condition Of the railroads today is given as the reason for the petition. Ii was hoped by, the railroads that the in crease in the rates would give them suffi- Cent income to meet the operating ex- penses and afford them the req soma ble profit permitted under the law. Effects Of the readjustment have, however. been felt. the roads have not been called upon to do as much business and consequently in spite of the increase in the rates the revenue is insufficient. There is thus g desire to get back to different basis If it is impossible to secure enough reve nue to keep the roads running and fur. nishing an adequate return under pres ent conditions there must be steps taker to better the situation. Certainly it i. no time to seek higher rates. Many em ployes have been released and in orde, to further reduce operating costs 1t il intended to bring about reduction il wages.
 That under the national agreement cannot he put into effect as it could hay bee few years ago, but that is wha is desired through the abrogation 0 agreements by the railway labor board With Vice President Attefbury's reques granted railroads would in due time b able to make reductions the same as fac tories and through such reductions ther could in time be expected an infiuenc upon the present. high rates
 Such proposition is being strenuousi opposed by the railroad employees an under the circumstances it can be ar preciated that the task placed before th railway labor board Is one of no sma proportion.

IN THE DAYS NEWS
Mont Baane.

Mont Blanc undoubtedly remains the apex of Europe in spite of the loss of part of it's top in a gigantic snow and land slide as reported in press dispatches says a bulletin issued by the National Geographic Society. This great mountain led it's nearest Euro pean competitor for altitude, i. Monte Rosa, by 5s4 feet. ThougF1aactual measurements of the loss in height bv Mont Blanc may not be made for sons time, estimates so far are that it has lost only some score of feet a loss which still permits it proudly to rear it's head far above all other pinnaeles ot the eartn's crust west of the Cau- casus.
 Mont Blanc, the White Mountain is the westernmost of the great peaks that form the Pennine Alps, which in clude in their length of about 50 miles such we'll known features as Monte Rosa, the Matterhorn, the Great St. Bernard Pass, and Mont Blanc itself. Mont Blanc lies on the border between Italy and France. About ten miles to the northeast, also on the crest of the Pennines, is the common corner. of France, Italy and Switzerland. The towering White Mountains is easily visible in fair weather from Geneva, seat of the league of nations, sixty miles to the west.
 Mont Blanc has been accepted as extending 15,782 feet above sea level 1 just 5S feet short of three miles. As a matter of fact its height has varied i from time to time.

BURNtNe THE poNDs.

There is no danger even though . New York professor has offered to furnish the kindlings that his suggestion to the effect that the people of this country make bonfires of their Liberty bonds will be carried out. He insists of course that fn- asmtrch as the bonds arc a liability of the country Of which everyone is a part and therefore responsible for them that the quickest way to remove that liability would be to destroy the bonds.
 It is quite a scheme and there" may be some who will fall in with the plan. Some have already given their bonds away and others feel that they have sac rifced much in buying and holding them, but there is no chance that the burning of the bonds will be adopted intentional ly and with anything Ike a general par ticipation.
 In the first place the bonds are not distributed in such manner that there could be an equal contribution to this plan of lifting thG burden of liability Some would be throwing in much more than others, even in proportion to what they might be expected to do. There is in fact no reason why there should bt bonires made of Liberty bonds than oi any other government securities
 Tt is to be remembered that all are not holders of Liberty bonds, ever though the liabilities of the government as represented by the bonds are shared by all It would be fine thing for th4 holders to lift the indebtedness repre- sented by the bonds from the shoulder. of the country. but what would becom, 1 of the little fellow who has tied up al his savings in such an investment? Tn proposition put forth by the professo would wipe out the result of long year of saving, placed in government bond for the help to the nation in time of dis tress and because they were regarded a a sound investment The scheme is o course one of those which is preceded b, a great big "if'' and there isn't the shos of a chance that that obstacle will eve ce eliminated
