HOPES FOR PEACE

CLEVELAND, Sept 1.-THE last
thing any sensible wants is strike"

the Brotherhood of Locomotive Eng
ineers here Saturday night. discussing
the critical situation in the railroad
field.
Members of the Big Four broth
erhoods will not count their ballots
until October 10th in Chicago. If
the vote favors a strike, then the next

deal with them as a whole. I hope
for peace. I am making no predic-

THE NEW COMPTROLLER OF
 THE CURRENCY

The new comptroller of currency in the Harding administration, D. R. Crissinger of Marion, O., is a life long friend of President Harding and a we'll known Democrat, lawyer and banker.
 Mr Crissinger, long prominent in the business, financial and legal life of Marion was born on a farm in Fully township, Marion county, De cember 10, 1860. He was educated in the public schools of Caledonia, Marion county.
 He was graduated from Buchtel college at Akron, where he took the honOrs of his class. Subsequently, he was graduated from the Cincinnati law school and then entered into a law partnership there with Judge William z Davis under the name of Davis & Crissinger.
 Early in life MT. Crissinger entered politics and was elected prosecuting attorney on the Democratic ticket in 1888 and was reelected in 1891. In 1893 he was elected city solicitor and was reelected in 1895 and 1897. He was the Democratic nominee for congress in 1904 and 1906.
 MT. Crissinger has been identified with a number of successful business enterprises in Marion. He assisted in organizing the Marion County Telephone Company and the City National Bank In the reorganization of the bank recently, when the name was changed to the City National Bank and Trust Company, MT. Crissinger became president of the institution. He is also a heavy stockholder in many of Marion's largest businesses and large land owner.
 President Harding and Mir. Criss- finger have been close friends since boyhood and MT. Crissinger took an active interest in the campaign of MT. Harding for the presidency, both before and after his nomination last June. He is president of the Marion Civic Association, which was or ganized shortly after the nomination for the entertainment of visitors to Marion during the campaign and de- Iivered the address of welcome at the homecoming exercises when MT. Harding returned to Marion from Washington after the nomination.
 Mir Crissinger accompanied Presi- dent Harding to Washington when the latter left for his inauguration and was a guest at the White House for sometime after the inauguration.

GEORGE BUYS IMMUNITY

What Lloyd George has really done under the cover of a trade agreement with BOlshevist Russia is to buy i'm munity from Bolshevist propaganda in India, Asia Minor, Persia and Af- ghanistan. It still remains to be seen how much actual trade Lloyd George has negotiated and how much immunity he has succeeded in purchasing
 The trade, according to Krassin, all depends on favorable decision of the English courts respecting the ownership of the Russian gold seized by the British government. The i'm munity from propaganda is certain to be wholly fictitious unless the BOlshe- Vist government reverses itself and admits it's official responsibility for the activities of the Third Internation- ale, which is in charge of Bolshevist propaganda.
 The agreement is unQuestionably a victory for Lenine and Trotzky and comes most Opportunely for them. It gives them status hitherto denied among the civilized nations and also points the way to further recognition. If the British govern ment can be forced by propaganda to surrender and buy immunity, other governments can be brought into line by the same methods.
 Had the United States followed the moral code that Lloyd George has defined in this trade agreement it need have had no serious trouble with Germany. It, too, could have purchased immunity by respecting the German submarine zone and painting it's ships like barber poles. There would have been no inter- national law left in the world had it done so, but the doctrine of safety first, which Lloyd George has now taken up, would have been vindi- cated four years ago and the prime minister would not have been ob- liged to create his own precedents for abandoning Great Britain's Allies in favor of the Bolshevists.

"GET BERGDOLL"

Grover Bergdoll, the arrogant and now jubilant slacker exulted too soon over the fate of the two Ameri- cans who were committed to Ger man prison for trying to bring him back to America, where a prison yearns to receive hin. There is that little matter of a forged passport that gives the English a change to do for us what we cannot do for ourselves. It is hardly likely that the English will make any great difficulties about it or that the German government would care to be embarrassed further in efforts to shield a deserter Berg dolls wild gloatings are not helping us to forget him.
 Then there is the American Legion for him to reckon with. It is not for getting this stacker. There is a sort of grimness about the way the legion is watching the case that does not argue for the Bergdollian peace of mind. The legion wants justice done, and there are good many legion aires and will be more. Get Berg doll!' is the legion slogan.
 The American state department doubtless understands that this case is being watched by millions of Americans with more than ordinary interest His is no ordinary slacker's case. If there is any way in which he can be brought back to a richly deserved punishment, it should be found.

FOREST RESERVATION

Strange as it may seem, this re- public of ours can take lessons from a yearling when it comes to forestry, and the yearling is republican Cze- cho-Slovakia.
 ''In that new republic only mature timber can be cut. Without official sanction no soil once used for forest purposes may be used for any other All numbered acres must be refoest- ed within five years. The laws also provide for the maintenance of a force of trained foresters and war dens for fire protection"
 So stated Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the American Forestry Association, the other day. He also drew a lesson from the oldest re- public in the world as follows:
 "As has been said, with her munich pal forests Switzerland holds her mountains up and her taxes down. Six hundred years ago the city of Zurich put it's forest to work. That forest has been working steadily ever since. It never goes on strike. It is always on the job. A municipal wood lot is a handy thing to have around, ready to go to work when coal strikes threaten and railway transportation goes bad.
