Mr.. Underwood's Appoint
ment.
PRESIDENT HARDING has
1 completed his appointments
for the peace commission. Ihey
are Secretary of State Hughes
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, chair
man of the senate foreign rela-
tons committee, Elihu Root, tor
mer senator, and Senator Under
wood, leader of the Democratic
minority in the senate. The last
named appointment has brought
out considerable criticism in in
dependent and Democratic news
papers. These criticisms are not
aimed at Mr.. Underwood as pub
lie man and citizen. His ability
and integrity is conceded by all.
But he is open to the same crlti-
cism as Sentaor Lodge is. 1t will
be his duty later as a member OF
the senate to criticise and review
the work which he has helped to do
on the commission. In addition to
that. as the senate leader OF the
minority party it looks like an Ct
fort to stop his mouth in criticism
later. The Springfield Republican
presents this view of the matter
very clearly when it says:
"The appointment of Senator
Underwood is more difficult to
Judge. The senator's personal
ability and fitness are not in ques-
ton. No available Democrat could
bring to the conference table a
saner outlook or more sincere de-
sire to promote the avowed OBJ
iects Of the conference. But his
position as minority leader in the
senate forbids his acceptance of
the place for the reason that espe-
cially upon the antiadministration
party in that body will rest the
normal parliamentary function and
obligation of criticism in case
treaties or agreements emanating
from the international conference
should be sent to the senate for its
approval. Unless that function is
to be more or less paralyzed in
advance, the senate's minority
leader should not be placed in the
position of having given his Sig
nature as an executive commits
sioner to conventions which his
senate position later on would re-
ouire him to consider from the
standpoint of a critic. The two
jobs are necessarily incompatible.
There is no commanding rea-
son for placing the senate's minor
lily leader on this commission, I'M
less the president seeks to put the
senate out of bushes as the con-
stitutional critic Of the results OF
the coming conference. It has
never been the contention of this
newspaper that the senate could
not properly review critically the
work of the executive when pre-
sented with the tangible results
of that work in the form of in
ternational treaties. President
Harding has now gone farther
even than President Mckinley
went in appointing Senator George
Gray as one of the commission to
negotiate the treaty Of Paris in
1898. For Senator Gray, while a
Democrat, was not the leader Of
the senate's minority party.
TT is unoffieially announced
that if Senator Underwood should
decline to serve because of his
position as minority leader in the
senate, the president would prob
ably appoint John w. Davis, for
mer ambassador to Great Britain,
to represent the Democratic party.
Mr.. Davis selection would be
free from all possible objections.
No Democrat could surpass him in
capacity for usefulness in the
service contemplated"

Chicago. - Information bureaus

Illinois Committee on Public IT'LL
ity Information, originator of the
plan. The move is a new one in
this field Utilities cooperating in
clude electric light and power, elea-
tric railway, gas and telephone in
dustries
These state committees on pub
lie utility information aim to de-
velop public appreciation of the
services of the utilities and public
confidence in them.
In the early days of the public
utility industry it was blessed with
plentiful engineers and many law
yers," according to B. ]. MuIIaney.
director of the Illinois committee,
but with a few who could tell the
public about these services in the
language of the laymen. 1t has
been found that the Illinois idea
has been of inestimaLle value in
bringing about better understand
ing, such as will permit of great

BY NEW BUREAU

Chicago.-EStabli Shment OF Sc
curities information bureau design
ed to protect Illinois investors from
worthless securities is announced
by the Illinois Chamber of Com
meree. 1t has prepared for this
purpose an information blank
which it is sending out next week
ANY one in the state may avail him
self of the bureau to learn about the
standing of stock, bonds, certifi-
Gates, etc, offered for sale.
The Illinois Chamber plans 10
work largely through local cham
bers of commerce and county farm
bureaus and in smaller towns
n through the bankers.
II In explanation of its plan, Har-
veg T. Hill, secretary of the state
chamber, said:
1.-THE Illinois Chamber of Com
merce is continuing its war against
the sale of worthless and unsafe
securities by placing at the dispos-
al of every local chamber of com
merce in the state a number OF
blanks to be filled out by statesmen
of securities. AS soon as the blank
properly filled out is received by
the Securities Information bureau
of the Illinois Chamber of Com
merce, a report will be sent back
concerning the value of the secur-
ity offered.
'HThe information furnished will
be available for the local news
papers or anyone interested in it.
In communities where there are no
chambers of commerce the local
banker or the county farm agent
viii be able to get this service for
his community.
1T is not the purpose of the bu-
1eau to furnish information about
the value of securities furnished in
the past, but rather to serve as a
protector against unsafe securities
being offered today No one should
buy any security without first salts
flying themselves that what they
are purchasing is sound.
NThe service of the Illinois Cham
her of Commerce enables anyone
In Illinois to get expert advice al
any time without cost and if faith
fully used it win drive from the
state all the takers who have been
making their living by selling
worthless stocks, bonds, etc. WherC
a salesman asks you to buy a Sc
curity and you are not sure of it:
value ask your local banker OIL
your local chamber of commerce,
and they will get the Information

greatest nation in this world,
stronger than ours, richer than

likes, and to give spiritual leader

traces of anti-British feeling, but
that he was also made aware of "a
warm and widespread friendliness,
of which too little is heard On this
side"
