The West Xirainia War

The men whose resistance to the law in West Virginia is taking the proportions of civil war must be mostly foreigners and ignorant of events which have gone before in this country in the of century and half.
 We do not how well grounded their griev- ances were. but that is matter which is not now under consideration. The thing immediately at hand is the restoration of order and of that will be restored regardless of the number of those who may be opposing it-whether 4o0o 100000 
 The whole force of the United States or so much may be necessary will be thrown into West Virginia.
 There have been countless uprisings such as this in most of them apparent prospect of sue cess. though really they never had chance. The Whisky Rebellion which masked the activities of Genet backed by American leaders looked as If 1t was going give the government good deal of trouble and it giving it trouble as long as the government temporized with it. But when the government about crushing it, that done almost immediately.
 The force of government cannot be success fully resisted in this country It may be revolt against the force of city county a state The police may be held in check So may the peace officers of county the militia of state But that is nothing for back of forces Is the bined force of forty-eight states.
 The first thing is to put down the uprising. that will be at liberty to look into the of the disturbance
 And when this imminent matter has been disposed next thing should be the removal of causes, the chief of which has been the attitude of the great coal operators of that region whose years has been the scandal of the nation their oppression the their participation in corrupt politics. their former if not their present control of legislatures and courts
 Thus but small part of the work of the gov- ernmsnt will have been performed in putting down the ignorant miners.

LIE SIS STR ue G LIE
(Ry Martin Herlick)

The infant struggles from the start To break its mothers hold; It shows the world it's little heart Seeks freedom, as of old. The child in school it struggles
 Its lessons to acquire, Then shakes his head and shuffles- Out into distant mire. The college boy his initial earns; And his place upon the team, And lover for his sweetheart yearns And struggles for his dream. The man his health to business gives For luxury and gold; And fights ard struggles almost lives; To carve his name out bold. Success is measured not in gold,
 But honor, truth and name, And either way is as of old
 It's struggle-fight-and fame.

A Kick to the Editor


 August 31, 1921. Editor Arizona Republican, Phoenix. Arizona.
 Dear Sir: I gave you an article August 18th asking you to publish same in the most conspicuous place possible. Said article was entitled The Nigger in the Woodpile." You saw fit to change the title of same to The Opening of the Daggett Gate way, and also changed the word "Nigger'' in several places to the word African" The piece dld not convey the idea that I intended that 1t should. The word African" as you explained to me over the tele- phone, to mean the same thing a: 'nigger,' I admit is correct in one sense of the word, but in this in stance it is entirely different.

- o the mind of writer in The Nation and The Atten-
l acnm, of London the perplexity which has been
shown in America regarding the lines upon which
the foreign policy Of the administration is to
proceed has been extended to London. This
lea in the following words:
"The rreconciable Senators, by whom the treaty
killed in the last Congress, are, most of them
much opposed to the treaty to the covenant. How
could they for the ratification of its disjecd mcbrdf
On the other hand, Senator Lodge and his immediate
supporters interested in the reservations
which they used last year for the destruction of Mr..
Wilson; but they would be glad to see all the puni-
tive clauses of the treaty enforced in the interests of
France. President Harding, his message to Con-
gress condemned the existing league for the excellent
reason that is merely the enforcing agency of the
victors Yet it is precisely the enforcing agency to
which Mr. Harding's Ambassador gives his enthusi-
astic approval, while Mr.. Hughes checked in his eff
fort towards mediation by the unnteigent Callcism
of the American press turns the power Of the State
Department against the feeble forces that making

Meanwhile, the Knox resolution, declaring the
state of at end is held up midway between
the Senate, which adopted it in few hours, and the
House Of Representatives which is eager to pass it.
The resolution is objected to, not only by the Will

in varied international enterprises financial and other
The rest OF America and of the world may surely
unite in the conviction that there is least right
intention in the mind of the President who, in the
confidence Of ne&perience, believed that gov
ernmcnt is a simple thing after all! The thing
is to proclaim that America is at peace with all the
world. and is resolved to remain So"

French Press on the Near East.

TINE important Paris papers which reflect more
or less accurately the opinions of the French
government are greatly disturbed by the prep
arations which the Greeks making for their re-
newal of offensive against the Turks They are
also considerably rated by the part which they be-
eve the British playing in encouraging Constan-
tine to attack the Turks. According to the Temps
Constantine's principal object is regain his pres
tige, but the only result which the offensive will
have will be the further loss of life destruction of
property and the ultimate defeat Of the Greeks.
France has followed policy, with regard to the
Turkish Nationasts, similar to that adopted by Great
Britain in the of the Soviet government
The reason that the British have decided to follow
different policy is that they opposed to permit
ting strong government being established in Con-

Possible War in Pacific.

TINE London Outlook, of May a8 contains an article
by Jphn l.. Badersron book called "Sea
Power in the Pacific" by Hector c. Bywater
The purpose of this book according to Mr.. Balder-
ston, is to explain Americans the srategca stu
alton in the Pacific and to call their attention to the
omissions and deficiencies in their naval
that make for almost inevitable disaster if they have
to fight Japan in the future" To quote Mr.
Balderston further:
"Mr. Bywater's book contains an analysis of the
existing and projected fleets of the two rivals and
shows in conclusive fashion how Japan has built with
strategical necessities Of with America in mind;
whpe the United States has piled up dreadnoughts
haPhazard, Congress has year after year knocked out
OF the naval bills items providing for Pacific bases
and for fast cruisers until the American feet appears
in spite of its paper strength untitled for the task of
fighting Japan. All Of the modern Japanese
ships OF the line, for example, two knots faster
than the corresponding American vessels, and Japan
has four battlecruisers, while America until 1929 will
have none; that if before then the American feet
should into Eastern waters subsequent to the
almost inevitable capture of the Philippines Japan
could hazard indccsive action, nfict as much
damage possible, and break off the battle at her
time without permitting the more numerous but
slower United States dreadnoughts to force fight to
a finish.
"If japanese American war takes place Mr..
Bywater seems to believe, it will occur the moment
chosen by Japan. very possibly late in 1922 and will
result in its initial stages in the defeat of the United
States and complete success for the island kingdom
Why should the two nations fight next year, if they
to fight? On this point Mr.. Bywater is most in
teresting. Next year, he says, Japan will enjoy
relative strength that she never again hope to
reach. Possibly the battlcshp "Tosa" with ten six
teen-inch guns, will be in service; certainly Japan
will have five other super-dreadnoughts and four bat
tle-cruisers of the 'Kongo' class capable of 27H
knots The United States in 1922 will possess twenty
super -dreadnoughts, apparently crushing supe
riority But the fastest of these make only wen-
tyone knots the first three American battlecruisers
will be ready until the year following. and the
'Magato' and 'Mutsu,' not to mention the pow
erfu "Tosa' will be two knots faster than the Colo
RADIO and Maryland the only American ships then
in commission carrying guns of equal strength.
Moreover, the American feet will not in 1922 possess
any modern fast light cruisers"
Another for setting the date of the Pa.
cifc war in 1922 is because the United States gov
ernment has decided to develop Guam as naval
base and as this island is the key to the Pacific, il
would be the advantage of Japan, if there is to be
war; to bring about before the plans for the
development of the American naval base have bees
completed ... ..lss., .I
