On the matter OF politics Mrs. Stacy's
views are anything but Mld-victOrian. Il

for my conviction that Girl sasdld have

tremes. There IS too much sex talk I be-
lieve in eugencs-it is the savior OF the
world--but We think too much of these
things.
Actually, the dress, the manners and the
free action OF our young girls of to-day
cannot fail to affect their ideals and morals
They are displaying all their charms until
they cease to be charms and become vul
garities"
League Is Forming Now
To Improve Manners and Morals
Mrs Stacy said that she was member OF
a league that was being formed to improve
manners and morals She presented code
of morals and manners, formulated in
Prof. H. II. hornes classes during the last
year. TO serve as a chart for the ~ Y. u.
students at Washington Square Mrs. Stacy
said that this expressed more clearly than
anything she could devise how she felt
about the proper behavior for modern girls
Almost contemporaneous with Mrs
Kendals Mid-vctoriam interlude and the
ensuing argument, two significant events
took place in this country: The Colonial
Danes Of Philadelphia brought 10 close
an extended campaign for the long skirt
and the largest department store in Chi.
cago-Marshall Field & Co.--issued an edict
barring bobbed hair.
The Philadelphia ladies announced that
their goal had been reached. that the girls
were behaving once again as Philadelphia
girls are supposed to behave The store
superintendent OF Marshall Fields refused
to discuss his order except to admit that
any one of the thousands OF girls employed
IN either the retail or wholesale stores
would be dismissed who failed 10 put a net
over her bobbed hair until II had grown out
to its natural length.
AT the same time a woman correspondent
to the London Times struck a note that
seemed quite to the point Women are
very human" she wrote, "and have learned
to be long suffering. but just now they are
lectured, advised, talked at and talked down
to in a manner which IL as foolish as II
il ignorant. Women have been given the
glorious liberty Of a free people. and they
will not prove unworthy"
But still we feel confident in predicting
that women will be lectured advised, talked
at and talked down to as long as there are
Mid-Victorians and Ultra-Moderns And
then some one else will have a try. It's the
way OF the world.

modern girl is once more called to the

Quoting a dilatory love tangle.
This time the charges come not from

doctor of divinity. 1t is--if you care to
believe it--an actress who brings up the
matter. Mrs. Madge Shafto Kendall, who
is of the old school, both professionally
and otherwise, is the official perpetrator of

under present conditions the public
IS being assessed high freight and
passenger rates for the purpose of
maintaining abnormal payrolls and
easy jobs.
The day of normal prices is being
postponed by the opposition Of work
ers to a reasonable program of de-
flation. This is pointed out in a let
ter of the president of the Brother
hood Of Railway Trainmen on the
wage question. He reminds the men
that millions of workers are out of
employment; that nearly all classes
OF labor have been forced to accept
reductions during the past year, and
that the government reports show
that since July 1, 1920, living ex-
penses have been going down. He
concludes accordingly that a strike
at this time would be ''unwise.' y
There is no doubt as to the soundness
of his counsel.-Providence Journal

WHAT A DIFFERENCE?

At Versailles the United States
was represented by Woodrow Wilson,
collegep professor, governor of New
Jersey, and president, but unskilled
in diplomacy. At the conference on
limitation of ornaments, the United
States will be represented by Lodge,
for "a years a member of the House
and Senate, and for a quarter of a
century studying international prob
lens as a member of the Senate COM
mittee of foreign relations; Root,
successful practicing lawyer, mem
Der of the New York constitutional
convention; secretary of war in the
Mckinley cabinet, secretary of state
in the Roosevelt cabinet, u. S. SEN
ator, member of permanent court of
arbitration at The Hague, president
of The Hague tribunal of arbitration
between Great Britain, France, Spain
and Portugal, ambassador extraor-
dinary to Russia; Hughes, success
full practicing attorney, governor of
New York two terms, justice of the
supreme court, nominee for president
secretary of state; Underwood, 26
years in House and Senate, Demo-
cratic leader in both houses. r There
is some difference in the matter OF
training for the work at hand.

Through her propaganda in China,

india, and even to supply them with
arms If a revolt should be melted.
Great Britain might seek to give In
dia immunity from the Japanese by
repressing Japan's designs against
China. or by gaining Japan's favor
by tacit acquiescence iIE those
schemes. The fact that there is an
Anglo-Japanese alliance now in force,
and that Great Britain made no scru-
pies about entering into the secret
agreement with Japan DUR
ing the war, would Indicate that the
British attitude toward Japan is
conciliatory rather than contentious.
If that be the true state of affairs,
the position Of the United States at
the conference will be made the more
difficult. Fortunately, the United
States will have with her on the Chi
nese open-door policy the delegates
from Belgium, Holland and Portu-
gal, to whom invitations were ex-
tended to attend the parley.

THE STRIKE THREAT.

A report that the railroad men of
the country are strongly in favor of
a strike against the II per cent re-
oucUlon IN wages ordered by the La
Dor Board, is by no means as serious
as 1t might be, Notwithstanding the
fact that in all the union organiza-
tlons there are hot-headed individ-
uals who find enjoyment in labor
disturbances. The American people
know that, considering the circum-
stances, a cut of 12 per cent is very
small, the wages of many of the men
having been advanced from 100 to
200 per cent during the last few
years Furthermore, unemployment
Is so widespread that the chances of
winning a strike are so remote as
to be hardly worth considering. The
absolute failure of the strikes of
the marine workers and the steel
men foreshadows a like fiasco in the
railroad field if the men should be
so foolish as actually to quit work.
The probability is that neither the
leaders nor the rank and file of the
men have any desire to strike on such
an issue as a II per cent reduction
IN wages. The statement that the
strike talk is intended to scare the
Labor Board into sanctioning the con-
tlnuance of the government working
rules doubtless has a substantial ba-
SIS. The testimony presented to the
board shows that the rules were de-
vlsed for the purpose of increasing
The cost of labor; two or three men
under the rules are required to do
the work of one man, and in addi-
tlon there are heavy charges for
overtime. The evidence as to rules
indicates that the Ioafing provided
by them and the employment of un-
necessary men cut into earnings
more heavily than the inflated wages
carried on from the war period. There
as no doubt that the rules ought to

The value of manufactured pro
ducts in Montana has increased from
$73,271,793 in 1909 TO S166,664, ,5IS
in 1920, according to the census fig
ures made public in Helena Monday.

plants has increased in the same per-
iod from $44, 4,588, 1888 to S197, Ate, ,297.
Salaries and wages for manufac-
ture in 1909 were $29,484,017, as
compared to S12, ,955, ATT. in 1909.
Persons engaged in manufacture
were 2O,692 in 1919, and 1884 in
1909. The figures reveal that 2.5
per cent of the plants of the state
employed 65.6 per cent of the wage
earners, the remaining 97.5 per cent
of the plants hiring only 34.4 per
cent.
Materials used in manufacture
cost $122 ISL, ,924 in 1919, and $49,-
180,238 in 1909. The value added in
the state by manufacture was S44,-
512,594, as compared to $24,091 ,554
for ten years ago. Horse power used
was 17O,2O6 in 1919 and 9O,4O2 in
1919.
. Automobile repairing is the chief
manufacturing industry, if number of
employees is the basis for rating. It
is followed by bakeries, brick, but

THE INDIAN FERMENT.

Reports come to our shores of in
creasing unrest in India. Native up
r1slngs are becoming more frequent,
IN the course of which British garri-
sons suffer scores Of casualties. The
Indian ferment is the cause of grave
concern in London, and tn estrongest
measures are being taken to main
tain British control over the coun-
try. 1t is fact not generally real
lied that India and China have a
common border-line over $500 miles
IN length, and it would be compare
lively easy for supplies to reach the
Indian rebels from that direction,
just as they have over the Russia
India border to the westward.
1t is possible that consideration

MELLON PLAN rs PROPER.

Advances made by the United
States to its associates in the late
war aggregate the enormous sum of
nearly nine billion dollars, upon
which interest to the extent of some
S900,000,000 is owing. All this
money was borrowed ON the sole Sc
curity of notes given by the accred-
tied representatives of the debtor
governments. There is no thought
that any debtor government will con-
test, much less repudiate, the obli-
cations which it incurred, but it is
obviously desirable if not necessary
that these vast transactions, which
under the pressure of war necessity
were conducted In an off-hand man.
ner, should now be regularized and
that the loans which were so lavish
ly and informally made should be
placed on a normal basis.
To this end it is important and in
deed indispensable that the secre-
tary of the treasury should be invest
ed with an authority commensurate
with the occasion, and that he should
be empowered TO negotiate for the
repayment of the advances which
have been made upon the best terms
of which in his Judgment the condi-
tions permit. There are wide diverg-
ences in the paying ability of our
several European debtors. No one
Of them is in a position, or likely for
many years to come to be IN a posi-
tiOn, to make full repayment of
what it owes US. Apart from what
Is due by them to the United States,
they are all staggering under a bur
den of Indebtedness which they are
unable or barely able TO bear and
even Great Britain, whose financial
status is of all of them the strong
est, IS having a severe struggle to
maintain its solvency.
In these circumstances it will be
understood that the immediate OF
early collection of the billions owing
us is an absolute impossibility, and
that no more can be done now or
within any measurable period than
to- arrange, so far as such an ar
rangement is practicable, for the pay
ment of interest ON the outstanding
principal; and this is what the enact
ment of the pending bill will enable
Secretary Mellon to do. 1t is obvi-
Gus that whatever measure of sue
cess he may achieve in that direction,
no matter how small, will be so much
gain. The money lent to the Euro
pean countries was obtained through
the issue Of Liberty and Victory
bonds to which the American people
subscribed and the interest on which
is being paid by them.
When the non-interest bearing
notes now in the possession of the
United States shall shave been ex-
changed for bonds of the debtor gov
ernments, the revenue therefrom
derived win to that extent tighten the
burden of the American taxpayer.
That is why the Mellen bill has been
introduced and it constitutes the best

avoidable delay be enacted -Phila-
