Red or Purple!

Germany is playing the game that
has become somewhat familiar since
the armistice was signed. Pressed
by the allied powers in the matter
Of reparations. the cry is now raised
that iii you force us to pay at your
estimate Of what we owe-or what
you say we owe-we may go bolshev,k,
or we may go monarchist." When.
ever the screws were turned during
the treaty-making time and the later
period Of ratification, and during the
endorsements and now In the matter
Of indemnities. the authorities at Ber.
lin have raised the two-headed bogie
Of anarchy and monarchy.
Somehow this threat has lost its
keenness through iteration. The al.
lied powers are not quite as much i'm.
pressed by the possibility Of a red or
a purple Germany as a couple of years
ago. There may be danger Of one or
the other Of these developments. But
the allied powers are proceeding OH
the hypothesis that Germany has as
much at stake as anybody else in

warding off these two menaces. And,
Furthermore, they realize that as long
as there are two dangers one will to
a large extent negative the other
The reds have had one go d. the
game in Germany and have failed, and
the monarchists have had their turn
and likewise failed. These two cS-
periences seem to show that Germany
is not actually subject to reaction IN
one way or the other. that the people
are satisfied with their present demo-
cratic organization and are intent
upon developing it. Undoubtedly IN
trigues are at work for both bolSheV'
ism and monarchism. Probably Herr
Simon. who is talking now about ire
reparations, knows perfectly ABOUT
these antriSues and knows that they
are futile. But for purposes OF pup
lication and diplomacy he must nas-
Nifty them. The business sense OIL
the Germans, always keen. has not
been dulled by the war and the most
important job just at present for the
German statesmen is to get the repaf'-
tionS payments reduced to tie lowest
possible terms, BY any expedien'.

trict. There is nothing to be proud Of.
indeed, in the manner in which the
government and the states have han
died leprosy in the past. But meanwhile
there has been terrible distress OF
mind on the part Of some unfortunate
victims and intense anxiety on the
part of communities N which they are
being most inadeQua tely cared for ard
treated.
Surely if there is red tame it should
be cut. If there is misunderstanding
it should be cleared away. If the
government ler-osarium is ready 70
receive these local patients they should
be sent there without delay. If it
is not ready the process of making
it so should be specded. Too much
time has already been wasted in con-
sideration and negotiation, while Tie
disease has been developed in many
communities and the sufferers from
it when identified have been treated
with the mos. shameful cruelty.
And So no one can really think
harshly of this poor man whom the
District has been so Reluctantly, ana,
in truth, inadequately. housing for TAX
ing the matter into his own hands and
seeking a settlement by direct ac-
tion.' 1t is to be hoped that his
adventure will bring results and, of

Canada and Protection.

The fifth session of the thirteenth
parliament of Canada opens today.
The tariff will be the leading ques-
ton considered. Tariff revision has
been made imperative by the war.
Canada shares with all other coun-
tries that result of the world up
heaval.
Protection is the demand Of the
great manufacturing and trading in
terests. They are urging a strong
Canada. They want Canadian mar
kets considered in connection with
the industrial advancement of the
country. Canada first.
But there is a farmers movement
of considerable proportions urging a
low tariff in the interests of agricul-
ture. 1t is well organized, and will
bring pressure to bear on the legis-
Iators.
1t is stated in the press dispatches
that the Canadians are watching US;
that they are taking note, particu.
larly Of the Fordney bill. and may
shape their tariff legislation some
what on what is done with that meas
ure.
Well, we shall take note of what
they do. They are probably more
concerned about US than we about
them; but. as we are neighbors and
trade with each other. each must take
the other into account as respects
trade relations.
Tariff revision is now a world prob
lem. The war has made it so. And
all countries are weighing the prob
lem as Canada and we are. Each ma
ton wants to strengthen itself. And
yet in fashioning its tariff laws each
must consider the question from the
standpoint both Of holding it's own
markets and Of entering foreign mar
kets. Economists everywhere have
the floor. and everybody wishes them
well of their job.

The Anti.White Episode.

The anti-White, anti-Cox, move
ment was hasty and ill-advised. Its
authors should have been surer of
their ground. They acted without
knowledge Of Mr.. Whites plans or
disposition. The story of his eager
ness to retire was three months old.
and never well authenticated.
The amateurishness Of the affair has
caused much surprise. Undertaken
in the interests Of Mr.. McAdoo, it
does not suggest methods associable
with the cause of so keen and accom-.
plished politician. He has had great
success in the past eight years, and
was a close second at San Francisco
in the contest for the democratic lead.
ership. He is still strong in party
favor, but not strong enough to sup.
port many more breaks" Of the kind
just made.
However, 1t was made in the abb
sence Of Mr.. McAdoo from the coun.
try. He is back from Mexico now,
and presumably will in future keep
sharp eye on the gun.
AS for Gov. Cox, the movement
complimented him. 1t seemed to as.
sumo that a movement was necessary
to get rid Of him; that unless his
friend could be eliminated from all
committee influence. another Cox can.
didacy would spring up and be ad.
vanced.
Today. Gov. Cox does not look for
midable to the average observer. In
the circumstances he made a good
fight last year. But his defeat was
so overwhelming it is almost impos.
sible to conceive Of his coming back
as early as 1924. if ever again.

A Leper at Large.

No one can blame the inmate Of the
so-called leper hospital on the banks
Of the Eastern branch for his escape
yesterday in an endeavor to see the
health officer and bring his case to
the point Of decision. He has asked
to be sent with his comrade in con-
fnement to the newly acquired gov.
ernment leprosarium in Louisiana.
For some reason not clearly explained
there Is delay. Some red tape, it
seems, has to be unwound. Some mis-
understanding. apparently. has de.
veloped between the District govern.
ment and the public health service,
and finally this patient precipitates
the situation by walking out Of his
barbed wire inclosure and presenting
himself at the District building.

Bonus Alterations.

These are hard times for the gov

ployes. First they get the bonus IN

legislative bill, then it is knocked Out

Then 1t is stricken out of the Dill IN

now that is the status OF the proPo-
sition-out Of the bill But there Is
hope that the action of SATURDAY VIII
be reconsidered. Indeed it is incon-
ceivable that the session should close
without the grant Of this so-caneo
extra compensation, which is. IN truth'
merely an increase Oh the regular
compensation to bring it up TO Inc
point of the living necessities of the
government workers.
The experiences of this session with
the bonus demonstrate as could notn-
ing else the inequity of keeping thc
government pay scale on so low
basis that an annually granted borus
is necessary to maintain the depart
mental force. 1t has been already
announced that this is the last
bonus" assuming that this will be
granted; that before the next appro-
priation bills are passed some sort
of reciassifcation law will be enacted
raising the basic pay throughout the
service.
Probably few legislators realize what
these alterations of ruling and de-
cision mean to the government work
ers. Perhaps If some one were con-
tinually to propose and temporarily
to effect the reduction Of the congress

The Guest From Germany.

Some days ago a meeting called by
the United German Societies took
! York. Erich Won Salzmann. from Ber-
{ lin who was said to have come over
as a representative Of the Vossische
Zeitung. was called upon to address
the meeting 1t was probably expect

to conevy greetings from Germany to
! those present.
] Mr.. Won Salzmann did not restrict
his remarks to greetings. He gave
! those present a lecture concerning

/ and conducted himself in such man
ner as to provoke loud opposition.

that they are perfectly informed about
their rights and duties. and that it Is
| people like Won Salzmann who would
have to be made responsible for the
many embarra ssments in which Amer
leans of German origin had been
placed during the last few years.
We can only rejoice at this frank
language. We Americans OF German

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Trouble Makers.


Since first this world Of ours began
In prehistoric nations
There now and then appeared some
man
To offer wild orations.
He did not seek our lives to bless
With rational deduction.
He thought his effort success
II he could raise a ruction.
And oft we hold him free from guilt.
We say his work was splendid
Because a better place was built
When conflagration ended
And yet their record sadness brings
Which nothing can diminish
The people who keep starting things
For other folks to finish.
