THE PUEBLO CH1EFTAIN
In His Usual Place

Senator LaFolettc's resolution, condemning Prcs
dent Hardngs action in the appointment of American
representatives TO the Allied councils in Europe,
quite characteristic of the Wisconsin senator AS the
first break in the Republican ranks in the senate it will
attract far attention than its Importance de-
Something Of this kind inevitable, but instead
of indicating any weakness fault the part of
the administration it is merely another proof that SEN
htor LaFollee believes it to be to his personal
advantage to play lone hand politically than to act
a member of organized political party. His action
is surprise, and would occasion surprise if
few other Republican senators would follow his ex-
ample.
No one would be more surprised than Senator La
Toilette if any administration Republican or Demo-
cratic, would act in such way to command his
sistent approval, and in Washington would be
uncomfortable in such position And it is quite
certain that greater misfortune could befall the
United States than to have its national policies directed
along the lines that have been approved in the pnst by
Senator LaFolette.

The Peoples Government

The government of Pueblo rghtfully belongs to the
people of this city and not any individual, group
or class The sole purpose of that government should
be to protect and promote the welfare of all the people
Under the liberal laws of Colorado the people of
city have very wide liberty in establishing chang
ing the features of their local government, and by
these laws it is made the duty of the people WHOLE
and not of any select class at home, any outside
power to say what kind of government the city shall
have.
Proposed changes in city charters should be ap-
proved only after they generally understood and
after they have been thoroly discussed
With regard to the proposed City Manager plan for
Pueblos government the people have right to be
fully informed upon the subject both regards the
advantages and as regards the disadvantages of the
plan.
The columns of this newspaper are open to an i'm
partial discussion of charter revision The full text
of the amendments proposed by the charter revision
committee published in last Sundays Cheftain
and doubtless has been read by many of those interest
ed in this matter. The Chiefain for the present will
neither advocate actively oppose the charter amend
mens, but will any question that may be asked
by any reader with regard to the details the prob
able effects, of the City Manager plan

The Moral Obligation

The acceptance by the German reichstag of the
Allied ultmaum raises again the interesting question
whether the German people are under moral obisa-
tion keep the promises that have been made in the
name of the nation. We have become accustomed
to look upon Germany as promise breaker and there
have been many conspicuous examples of her faith
essness that apt to jump to the conclusion that
if Germany does not keep the obligation she has
accepted it will be another example of her national i'm
morality.
1t is however clearly accepted principle of law
that contract made under duress is void. If a
signs note under threat of immediate death bodily
violence, he is not legally obligated to pay that note
the person that has obtained his signature by threat
of violence. If however it could be shown that the
note had been signed the result of compromise in
settlement of debt otherwise owed, and in order to
avoid costs and penalties of suit at law that would
be quite different matter.
The important point then is whether the element
of durcss has entered into the contract but back OF this
there is also the other important point whether Ger
many is being compelled to assume unjust obligation
or whether she accepting the payment of just debt
in order TO avoid penalties that might be fairly laid
upon her.
From the standpoint of the Allies the latter propo
stion is unquesonably true, for the assessed
against Germany is but small fraction of the of
the the Allied nations, and there is no doubt
of German,'s responsibility for the war But as the
IGemans it, it is equally unqucsonablc that Ger
many is being compelled to assume unfair and
just obligation. And, therefore, the German moral OBJ
legation is unqucstionable from the standpoint of the
Allies while from the German side there appears to be
mo moral obligation at all
One thing is certain. Germany will pay any
moro of the reparatons assessment than she is
PEELED to pay and if next year. in ten years,
any other time Germany the opportunity rcpu
date her action in accepting the utimatum her states
men will not hesitate to do so.

tho volume of sales averages about a
hundred million dollars a day. The
two million dollars is tho regulator
and stimuiator of the flow of the hun

individual business man uses his share
OF the two million determines very
largely what is To be his share OF the

This Is a fact which tho farmers. as

The Farmers Position.
So tho farmer has reasoned in tho

he produces the most fundamental me-
cossities of all. only wood. steel and

Tho producers of steel do not adj
