NO EVASION

WASHINGTON. May 5.--"There
is not even the merit OF common hos
esty in the effort of certain French
newspapers to represent the United
States in trying to clip out at the
last minute after having allowed
their representative to negotiae au
understanding in their name" de-
clares the Republican Publicity as
ISOLATION through its president Hon.
Jonathon Bourne Jr. Neither IS
there much Americanlsm in an Am
erican newspaper which publishes
that statement with its apparent ap.
proval.
THE United States has neither di-
rectly or indirectly endeavored to
evade any of its obligations, legal
or moral. II stands ready today to
serve the world in larger measure
than 1t is under obligations to serve
and it will not shirk any responsible
IL which could possibly be imposed
upon It by due observance OF inter
national ethics.
When newspapers OF the United
States publish without adverse criti-
oism the statement from the Paris
Midi. that It 10 beside the point to
assert that an American president Is
not qualified to conclude treaties by
himself and that II is not the Gus
tom of other nations to slip out al
the last minute after having allowej
their representative to negotiate an
understanding in their name such
papers are endeavoring to cast .
stain upon the good name of the
United States and the quality of theft
Amerlcanism stands in doubt. The
people of the United States did not
permit Mr.. Wilson to negotiate ar
understanding in their name. Or

VIRTUE

The political agitator generally
plays heads I win, tails you lose"
game. He would attack anything
that would appear to gain popular
favor without due understanding of
the facts involved,
a fayorite sport has been for To-
cal politicians to use the taxpayers
money duplicate existing public util-
ity plants with municipal owned
plants on the theory that such com
petition would reduce rates below the
figure set by public authority.
So much OF the taxpayers money
has been wasted in this manner that
the modern tendency is to put muni-
cipal plants under state regulation
and make them stand on their own
feet.
AS a result, the state Of Washing
ton, in the last session Of It's legis-
lature Joined the ranks of the states

necessity measures. And now, E'

lally owned public utilities, Spokane
has begun obtaining the signatures
on petitions for referendum.
In other words public regulation
of private companies is a good thing
according to the politicians, but III
same regulation is not good for mu
nlcipal plans. according to their rea
soning, as such regulation would d.

STEEL SHAVINGS

Cuts in the price of steel products
continue. Reductions by the indie

ed by the lowering OF the schedules

REMEMBER 1919

A movement is on foot to union
ize the steel industry of the country.
It is to be hoped that the lessons Of
the steel strike of two years ago
have been taken to heart, and that
the leaders of the new union will not
be selected from the Fosters and
Fitzpatricks OF radicalism.

THE whole history Of insurance,
no matter what form it may take.
has been one OF prevention OF the
thing against which the insurance is
directed. or course the prime pur-
pose Of taking out any form of in
surance is to provide compensation
in case of loss but the holder OF the
policy knows also that the probable
lty of loss has been diminished by
the encouragement he has given to
the insurance business. All insur-
.ance slatlatle5 prove that his judg-
ment in that respect is sound.
rs it not the truth OF the matter
that Mr.. Gompers, Mr.. Vol, ct al,
don't want to see an end to strikes
hence they oppose every Influence
that tends to avoid them? Should
labor disputes cease the raison d'etrC

Fifty-Five Billions in Reparatiea.

1t was the Philadelphia North
American which made the point that
when it is argued that the sum de-
manded in reparations should be re-
auced, this means precisely that suf-
ferers from Germany's aggression
shall be penGlized to the extent of
the remission and the Kansas City
Star asks "Why is it unreasonable
to expect Germany to pay annually
an amount which is only fraction
of the sum other nations are having
to pay on her account, and which is
not more than half as much as the
French people alone must pay in
taxes to meet the interest on the sum
raised to repel the German inva-
sion?"
The Literary Digest sums up gen
eral opinion in few words to mean
that if Germany doesn't pay. France
must.

Let the Other Side Be Heard.

AS a special pleader for a bigger
navy in any and all circumstances,
the general navy board is never at
loss. For years it held to the argu-
ment that the country must spend
money without limit OF fleets in cr-
der to protect our overseas posses
sions. Every new step in territorial
expansion served to encourage it in
its policy of increased ornaments.
Hawaii, the Philippines, Porto Rico
and the Panama Canal were only so
many fresh instances of the dangers
that the United States ran from at
tack by foreign enemies.
Now, it is our growing merchant
marine that fills the general naval
board with apprehension. 1t requires
protection. The more ships of peace
we send to sea the more ships of war
we must build to guard them on their
errands of promoting foreign COM
merce. 1t works both ways when it
comes to spending money. There
must be a fleet for protection and a
fleet that requires protection.
One rule always holds good with
the general naval board. 1t never
finds reasons for spending less money
on ornaments and tightening the
taxpayers burdens. In the insecure
ty of the merchant marine it has
made happy discovery, when other
arguments were becoming thread
bare.-New York World.

Now whose war burden is greater
that of Germany or france? Ger
many, of course, owes for war bonds
held by her own people, but they
were involved by their investment in
the guilt of the war and Germany
can with much justification cancel
these domestic bonds.
Nobody should object to the logic
that Germany should carry as heavy
a financial load, in consequence of
the war, as France is compelled to
shoulder. Frances public debt in

SIZE OF GARDEN HAS
EFFECT OF METHODS

This is the time of year when
much thought is being given to the
garden by both farmers and many
people in the cities, and in this con-
nection they should remember that
the size of the garden should have
definite effect on the gardening
methods used. This is based on the
experience of gardeners wi o have
worked both small and large areas.
The distinction holds between the
garden of limited area and the farm
garden-one seeks the greatest pos
sible production from a given area,
the other maximum production from
given amount of time and labor.
The gardener who has plenty of
land at his disposal will do well to
have long straight rows spaced far
enough apart for horse cultivation,
or at least easy wheel-hoe work, and
he need give little attention to the
conservation of space by intercrop-
ping and succession cropping.
The gardener whose land is linn
tied, however, and whose leisure
hours are relatively plentiful may be
an intensive gardener.
He will have his soil as fertile as
possible, space the rows closely, and
try to follow one crop by another the
same year. Radishes grown between
rows of parcnips or carrots will be
gone before the latter crops need the
space. Lettuce may be grown be-
tween cabbage rows and even be-
tween cabbage plants in the row.
Onion sets may be thrust into the
ground wherever there is a vacant
space and used early as green onions.
Peas and early turnips may be re-
moved in time for late snap beans.

False Prophets.


unbottled a plot which had the
House of Representatives doing a
war dance last week. 1t seems that
the members were in league, or rath-
er had revived secret alliance, to
lease thru" a measure increasing
their salaries. They were going to
do this without the formality of ad-
vance notices, but Representative
Blanton up and told on some of them
and this spiked the whole scheme.
The accused got mad and stormed.
They said it was all lie and pro-
ceeded to act as foolish as crazy
house. One member even got up out
of his bed at the hospital to brand
the whole thing as vile, 3landerous
and beneath the dignity of the great
august Congress. He told the
world" that his skirts were clear,
and in blaze of seething denuncia-
ton he set himself and his colleagues
right, so that his constituents might
read the newspaper reports.
Once in while member like Mr..
Blanton is honest enough to observe
the fact that public office as we'll as
public funds is public trust, and
that Congress cannot proceed with
out some measure of decency and
equity to vote salaries and perqui-
sites. The very appearance of the
whole thing smacks of the old-time
salary grab.
Evidently Mr. Blanton was on the
right track, otherwise his efforts
would have been ignored. The at
tempt to humiliate Mr.. Blanton was
enough to arouse suspicion, and the
general uproar suggested something
rotten in Denmark"
1t hasn't been so long since Con-
gresham Fuller, of New York State
and president of the Packard Motor
Corporation, tried to stir the mem
bers to a sense of public responsible
ty and common duty. During the
war, at least, he suggested that Con-
gress dispense with special commit
tees and lot Of other useless and ex-
pensive habits, which are wholly a
burden upon the taxpayer and the
people, and let the expense of these
things go into the general war fund.

And now we see Congress buying

The thing that keeps us mulling
is, where does democracy come in?
Remember Congress is Republican
and this is therefore not a party
matter. Is it democratic to tax the
people for Congressional abuses and
for foreign court and pomp!
If we are 20 pay the price for
princes and titles or an equivalent 4
to our representatives and vie with
other countries in political and diplo
matte functions then the suggestion
arises why not organize ,
the government for that purpose {

system. We are
democracy in public and
