By your Arsenal, let's blow up the

tiresome panic holds on with bulldog
tenacity, and when will it end? Who
will end it?
Now, political parties can't end it.
the Red Cross can't, Congress can't,
the church and the numerous other
organizations can't-so, who can?
say. that the Newspaper Editors
of the land can. and they only. TO do
this they would have to call upon all
the educational forces of the country
the movies, churches, political par
ties. platform speakers and the
masses of people in the common
walks of life.
They would have to put at the head
of the great drive, a Hoover. Hard

some good progressive editor and
they would have to cooperate with
him.
We would have to have a campaign

which is easy.
To live and let live, to produce

WATCH FOR THEM

Having experienced the mess made
by government interference with the
railroads it was thought the coun-
try had become pretty well fed up on
that sort of iniquity Mr. Harding
had made 1t clear he thought 1t time
to give business chance and the size
of the popular vote indicated the pub
lie approved of his attitude.
Out in some of the Western states
the desire to regulate the business of
every other fellow is yet strong, it
appears. and their representatives
seeking to secure public approval Of
return to Congress are timorous con-
corning it. This condition has been
aggravated by certain business men
who insist by their crookedness on
being interfered with.
They belong where Brindell is. be-
hind the bars. and there is no way Of
putting them there except by getting
Uncle Sam to do it and he Is asking
for money to make the attempt. If
the public could be convinced the
crooks would get a life sentence all
necessary would be to pass the hat.
a popular contribution would more
than fill it. If there is anything more
contemplate than the fellow who
cuts the fire hose at the beginning of
a confiagration it is the one who
prof1teered in the war. If we shut up
the man who refused to fight we
should in all fairness shut up the
crook, though not in the same cell as
the deserter and Stacker are really
the more decent and would be cor
rupted by too close contact.
So what is the government to doo
A lot of villains will get away with
their booty if it doesn't interfere and
very likely will if it does. 1t isn't
the labor agitator. the flannel
mouthed soap-box orator and the
parlor bolshevik who will fasten gov
eminent meddling on us. On the
contrary it is the inability of certain
business interests to be decent with
out it. And then comes the pitiful
demonstration of the governments
inability to make them decent.
This makes a pretty dubious show
ing. There is something, however,
which would be well to remember;
this crookedness in the long run has
a very strong tendency to defeat it.
self. OF course a lot have to suffer
meanwhile but there is consolation
in the belief that time will iron out"
the mussed up condition that now
troubles us. Meanwhile if you see a
crooked head lifted, hit it. And if
you want to keep in fighting trim

New England loses its best known
newspaper publisher in the death Of
General Charles H. Taylor. He once
said: my aim has been to make the
Globe q cheerful. attractive and use
ful Newspaper that would enter the
home as a kindly, helpful friend Of
the family" He was successful. His
name became a household word
throughout New England and all this
he accomplished in the face of great
odds. Wounded in the Civil War he
came back to Boston and renewed
hts acquaintance with printers ink
and from that day until the time OF
his death he retained intimate rela-
lions with the supervision OF q

tributed sreatly to the profession he
henored and to the welfare of the
people he served.

WHEN FINAL WORD is SPOKEN

"Co-operation with the United
States is "a cardinal principle" with
Great Britain. declared Prime Min
lister Lloyd George to the Imperial
Conference today.
We are ready" he said, Ito dis
cuss with American statesmen any
proposal for limitation of ornaments
which they wish to set out and we
can undertake that no such overtures
will find lack of Willingness on our
part to meet them.
Friendly cooperation with the
United States is for us cardinal
principle dictated by what seems to
us the proper nature of things, by
instinct quite as much as by reason
and common sense"
So speaks Lloyd George--but he
adds: I'm the meantime. we cannot
forget that the very life of the Unit
ed Kingdom, as also of Australia and
New Zealand, and indeed Of the
whole empire, has been built upon
sea power"
AS one reads on, the inference be-
comes clearer that England would
insist on the dominant sea power,
and on alliance with Japan looking to
control in the Pacific. And yet those
acquainted with England's policies
could expect no less of a claim. But
that way does not seem to lie any
material Iessening of her power in
the interest of disarmament. 1t re-
minds the reader Of what our secre-
tary of war had to say a few days
ago. about knowledge possessed re-
speeding this question of disarma-
ment which the general public has
not yet learned and which makes it
extremely desirable that the public
leave in the hands of its leaders the
shaping of policies.
1t should not be overlooked, how
ever, that Lloyd George necessarily
does not speak the final word for all
the dominion of Great Britain. Can
ada and Australia are nearly as in
dependent of England as is the Unit
ed States. Each has it's ideas re-
speeding relations with the Japanese
and undoubtedly will assert them
when the occasion arrives. Indeed
their public men have already spoken
very clearly On that point and Eng
land will heed them when making al
lance with Japan.
Even the Germans in the midst of
the war when the colonies were COM
ing to the aid of England were forced
to admit the mighty and wonderful
cohesiveness of the structure which
Great Britain has built No such re-
Spouse came from German colonies;
no such spirit was shown And for
that loyalty to a common purpose
which the British colonies then
showed, equity demands that consid-
ovation now be given. Hereafter
those dominions must be consulted,
and that is what is new being done
in the conference at London and at
which Lloyd Georges address was
made. When the final word Is spoken
1t will be when the attitude of the
colonies is clearly defined. Before
that time comes we hope Uncle Sam
will have been able to make a definite
proposition looking to the limitation
Of ornaments.
