A MoMENroUs DECISION.

"Shall society have the power to say arbitrarily,
from a purely economic standpoint who shall or who
shall not have the right to bear children?" asks the
Hartford Times THAT question is likely to be ar
gued rather freely, as result Of the decision OF the
Colorado judge who has given a Denver mother until
January to submit to an operation which will make it
impossible for her ever again to become a mother, un-
der penalty Of having her five undernourished ard
poorly cared for children taken away from her if che
refuses. This ruling was given after a physician had
testified concerning conditions in the woman's hong
and had suggested that conditions would be remedied
If the woman could bear no more children. The judge
seized upon the suggestion and turned 1t into a court
decision.
Certainly the theory that it is the right of society
thus to protect itself against the consequences Of pow
erty is brand new and startling. Birth control advo-
Gates will Immediately say that IL they are permitted
to have their way they will solve the problem by per-
hitting even the ignorant poor to control the size of
their families. thus reducing poverty. But it may be
doubted II even birth control advocates will urge that
the state should be given an arbitrary right to act in
such cases for purely econor.c reasons.
Certainty if the state is going to assume any such
rights it is hard to see how it is going to keep the bars
up against birth controllists in their campaign for per-
hitting by voluntary action what the Denver judge
wants to accomplish by force. It will occur to most
observers that the judge has held his own RESPONSE
bilities almost as lightly as he seems to believe the
mother has held hers with reference to caring for her
family"

THE BIcNEss OF IT.

"The signing of the naval limitation agreement
marks something new in human history" says the
New York Tribune. ut concretely introduces into in
ternational relations principles that three years ago
or even three months ago were deemed impossible of
realization.
"Of secondary consequence is the particular ratio
of strength approved. What is of the greatest sig
nifcance is the fact that there is any ratio. Fix your
mind on this. Consider some of the implications. 1t
is recognized that one nation may iegitimately take
notice of what another is doing. The domain of the
common concern is thus immensely enlarged. Here
tofore each nation has assumed that what 1t did in
the way of arming itself was exclusively its own af-
fair; that no questions could be asked; that it was
justified in resenting anything that even limited at re-
straint of its liberty of action.
''This doctrine is scrapped. In its place is estab-
lshed the one that the naval program of one country
is the proper business of all. Cast down is the arti-
fetal logical barrier which separated nations one from
another and inevitably led to competition in arma-
ments. Henceforward, in regard to armies as well as
navies, it will be possible for one country to ask an
other, Why your zeal in weapon-making?' 1t is our
right to take note Of the fact. Here is a wholesome
novelty in International law, and the seed planted at
Washington will multiply. National independence re-
mains unimpaired, but 1t must face its responsibilities
with more regard for realities.
another innovation is of almost equal importance
namely, that one nation can trust the word Of an
other with respect to matters of the most delicate ma
ture. The Hughes agreement takes for granted that
Great Britain and Japan will in good faith be true to
the bargain they have signed. No machinery of mu-
tual espionage is provided for. None is ID deemed neces-
sary. 1t is believed, and ~rightfully SO, that no one
Of the, signers will depart from the agreement.
"Such commence a confidence that asks for no
hostages, is something new in human annals, and now,
as always, trust begets trust. The food of confidence
is confidence. We have a right to think that the habit
of nations of watching one another out of suspicious
eyes will weaken. When suspicion is dead there will
be foundations for enduring peace.
''The bigness of the work done at Washington is
not yet adequately appreciated. Time is needed to
slow it in true perspective. II there ever is a uni.
versal annual holiday December IA will have high
claims to worldwide recognition. Yet some restricted
souls study the terms of the compact to see whether
or not they can torture from it an Interpretation that
there is not perfect equivalency of self-denial."

THE PRESIDENT MUST COME.

Ever since Mr.. Harding became the president ne
b., had a notion that he ought to visit Aiaska' ana
eve since the Frontier management sent MN a TWO
busbel range hat he is sure he ought to attend tne
Wvor,;no Frontier celebration next July. Then IN
aadition to this next summer will occur the nftietn
anniversary of the creation of Yellowstone Park ana
there will be quite a celebration on that account Pc
ING the first and the greatest national park IN tne
country. All of these things have conspired to induce
tho president to take a summer vacation so as to mt
in with the several occurrences.
Commissioner of immigration Hill OF wyoming,
lacking the situation over has undertaken to arrange
the mark celebration at a date Immediately before OF
immediately following Frontier so the president can
attend the two Wyoming affairs while on ms way
west to undertake his Alaska excursion.
Mr.. Hill has interested Secretary Fail OF the inse-
rior department and Superintendent Albright OF fei.
lowstone park, in the proposed visit Of the president
and is now urging western members Of congress and
senators to insist that the president make his vaca-
ton a real one and see things within the domain ne
has never as yet viewed.
wyoming would be delighted to play host to Mr..
Harding, and she can offer him real entertainment.
We have had in times past Roosevelt and Tart WIN
us on different occasions and they never ceased to
wonder at the many marvellous thirgs they found in
Wyoming. 49,
By all means let's have Mr.. Harding at our two
parties next summer.

THE CHRISTMAS CANDLE.

The old warning to have care about the lighted can
dies on the Christmas tree will go with as little heed
as the warning to look out for the fireworks on July
4th. Upon the anniversary of eac, of these holidays
a number of painful accidents occur in which the lives
of little ones, and sometimes of adults, are sacrificed
by carelessness. It is so easy to believe that no acct
dent could happen to our Christmas tree, our children
are SO careful; or our children know all about fire.
works and they are extremely cautious. Yet the ac-
cident occurs and the sacrifice must be borne. And
we don't know what can be done about it.
Warnings are even now going out from newspapers,
fire departments, police departments, insurance COM
panies and many other well-intentioned people and
authorities who realize the danger that turks in the
innocent little wax candle. They may mean the saw
ing of some lives and property. The hope always is
that they will obviate all untoward accidents. But on
the day following the newspapers will contain ac-
counts of the usual number of misfortunes.

| There Is n proposition now put up
against that Il seems to me n IL a
very simple one Instead Of putting
the duties. assessing the ad valorcm
duties which are duties assessed on
the value OF goods. on the foreign or
invoice value. the proposition Is to put
these duties on the value OF the goods
in the United States.
THE value OF the goods in the
United States Is not an unknown
quantity. It can be found. All tho
books. All tho papers Of the mnnufac-
turers. the 5obbers INK the sellers of
every kind are al the disposal OF n
government Prices arc dealing with
an absolutely known and certain
proposition and the whole idea Is
simply that where there is an old VA
loren rate Of duty on goods. we do
not try to assess this on the foreign
value. which Is largely guess work.
but upon the American value OF the
goods that Is known IN the United
States. and 81 is capable OF being found
out.
THE American valuation plan. IN
my Judgment. is absolutely possible
OF administration. and also feasible
of enforcement There Is nothing In
It this cannot DO carried on after a
little practice Just as well As the pres
ent law is.
The idea tina Il is impossible to
find out what tho American value OF a
piece OF goods. is when you are sup
posed to md out tho foreign value
seems, to me preposterous-
There Is one more thing to be kept
In mind. h only wa TO take care
OF deprecated currency at tho present
time and to make the manufacturer
safe and able 10 carry on his business
under deprecated currency. IL to put
aside the need for the manufacturer
to wonder In what currency the duty
will be assessed on the goods with
which he has to compete, and wonder
n day what II is going to DO the
ext He must ave II fixed on the
one stable thing in the financial world
and that Is United States money.
This Is something hat does not
change and Will not change. And the
only way to have stable duties. the
only way 10 have duties hat Will say
what they mean and mean what they
say, In the tariff law. is to have n
duty that when II depends on the
value Of the goods n depends upon its
American value and not on the value
that It has in af oreign country that
changes from day to day and from
hour to hour"

NOT POOLING UNDERWOOD.

1t is entirely characteristic of the Democratic lead
ers of the minority in the senate to desire to block
the four-power treaty when it comes or. for ratifca-
ton. It is also characteristic of them to appeal to
ard even threaten Senator Underwood, the Demo-
cratic member of the American delegation, to stultify
himself as an American citizen and a member of the
conference. The only argument, or rather the only
excuse offered is the defeat of the league of nations
proposal by the senate Republicans as presented by
Republican measure and the league as n Democratic
measure and both therefore subject to the ordinary
rules Of partisan politics. In neither case can the
view be upheld. Neither the treaty nor the league

NOT A THING DOING.

Director Dawes has assaulted one of the vested
rights of congress and the wall that is ascending to
high heaven is horrible to hear. He has abolished the
free distribution of seeds. Had he abolished the con-
gressional payroll, removed the Goddess OF Liberty
from the dome of the capitol, hauled down the Amer
lean flag, taken away the robes from the supreme
court or the gavel from the speaker, there would not
be half the fuss kicked up. But to paralyze an an
Gent and honorable graft such as free garden seeds
for the agricultural block is treason-even In the
name of economy.
The same thing has been attempted before, but
somehow when spring came the seeds came also. Con-
gress has always found a way to gladden. the heart OF
the farmer and in the present instance, in spite of
Dawes and economy, the ingenuity of congress may
be depended upon. And when we get the garden
spaded up next April we shall expect to find the we'll
known seed packages in our postofice box with the
wel-remembered congressional frank Of our favorite
congressman affixed thereto.
The constitution may wither and die, the palladium
OF our liberties may crunible to dust, the government
at Washington become only a memory to the oldest
inhabitant, but free garden seeds will go on forever.

ROLLING THE ooLosHEs.

The snowfall has brought out the goloshes and we
are uncertain whether to howl about it or let nature
and the fapper take their respective courses. 1t ap-
pears that they not only continue to wear them I'M
buckled but in many instances rolled which helps
some in eliminating the music. If the manufacturers
would only make them to fit thin legs, thick legs
and all the other kinds of legs possibly the casual OBJ
server would have a better report to make and less
complaint of the ungraceful figure young ladies pre-
sent in crossing the street.
But winter cannot last always and spring is bound
to come back when the flowers bloom and the %goloshes
are laid aside.
