Illinois Artful Dodger.

Gov. Small of Illinois is playing a
shrewd and foxy game to beat the in
dictment found against him for mis-
use Of the states funds while treas
urer. Having been denied the 'divine
right of kings" in the matter Of i'm
munity from arrest, he tries now to
be arrested on ground of his own
choosing. The Sangamon county war
rant can be served anywhere in the
state, but the governor does not want
to be arrested in Sangamon county,
where the judge has already shown
his indifference to the sanctity Of the
office. He would much prefer to be
hailed to court in Chicago, where
judicial sentiment Is more friendly to-
ward him and the machine organiza-
tion which he represents. The sheriff
Of Sangamon county, charged with
the production of the prisoner in court
to answer to the indictment, is willing
to wait until the governor is available
at Springfield. the capital Of the state,
and the seat of Sangamon county. SO
the governor has decided to make q
tour Of the state to inspect the new
roads system. He transfers his ofiice
to automobiles and he and his sta9
will sojourn for q time on wheels.

The President in New England.

The President will feel at home in
New England. The whole section did
very handsomely by him last year.
But it has been doing handsomely by
republican candidates for the presi-
dency for many years.
1t has produced many notable men
of republican affiliations. For more
than half a century it has been served
in both houses Of Congress exception
ally well. At times, indeed. New Eng
land delegations have been at the top
on Capitol Hill. When Thomas E.
Reed occupied the Speakers chair and
Nelson Dingley led the House major
ity, and W. P. Frye and Eugene Hale
were colleagues in the Senate. the
state of Maine for brilliancy and eff
cheney headed the congressional hunt.
At present New England is faring
well in Washington. The Vice Presi-
dent, the leader of the Senate. the
Speaker of the House and the Secre-
tary Of War are all from that section
and from the same state-Massachu
setts. THE Yankee boys for fighting
are the dandy o.
And yet. for all that, New England
lost her supreme chance for the presi-
dency. Mr.. Blaine was one of the
brilliant men of his generation, and
rated as the most magnetic party lead
er since Henry Clay. Ands he met
with Clay's fate. The highest prize
proved to be beyond his reach. When
he might have been elected he could
not secure the nomination. and when,
at last. he secured the nomination he
could not be elected.
As President, Mr.. Harding is at
home in all sections and assured of
cordial greetings in all. But, for the
reasons given, it is understandable
why he should snuggle up to the sec
tion where. for the coming ten days
or a fortnight, he is to be a guest.

This proceeding is, Of course, great

the governors prestige. The resound-
ing assertions of innocence evoked by
the first news of the indictment are
now but faint echoes. The 'divine
right" clamor and the whirring Of the
wheels of the itinerant headquarters
have filled the public ears. A less dig
nified proceeding has never been
known in American public life. And
the people Of the country, regardless
Of political feelings. are now hoping

France and England.

Danger of a break between England
and France on the Upper Silesian
question has been averted by the de-
cision of the government at Paris not
to send additional troops until at least
the matter has been referred to the
supreme council. Premier BRAND, re-
ceiving d message from the British
government that could be interpreted
only as a warning that further pro-
ceedings would be in the nature of a
breach of compact, persuaded the min
istry that insistence = the pro-
gram Of reinforcement in Upper
Silesia would be possibly disastrous.
Whether this course was influenced
by the decision of the Italian govern
ment to adhere to the British view of
the case is not. of course. known, but
the fact may well have had its bearing.
The difference between England and
France over Upper Silesia is one Of
procedure. France wants to safeguard
the Polish interests by the establish
ment in the disputed area Of a larger
number of allied troops. England
wants to hold strictly to the assigned
procedure of awaiting the decision of
the allied council on the plebiscite.
The delay in the rendering of that de-
cision has led to much difficulty. OBJ
viously a grave problem has been af-
forded by the vote. In respect to
gross numbers it favored Germany. In
respect to localities it chiefly favored
Poland. Decision could logically be
rendered either way. But there are
grave political considerations at stake,
and economic factors enter the case.
Which country is to possess the val
liable coal mines? The allied supreme
council must answer.
Unless a strict censorship has been
exercised over the news from the dis
puted area there would seem to be no
urgent occasion for an increase of the
allied forces in Upper Silesia. No dis
orders have been reported from there
recently. The Polish insurrection has
subsided. OF course, there may be
dangers of which the American news
paper readers are unaware, and which
are known to the French foreign office,
but of surface indications there are
none to warrant the insistence and the
haste of the French demand for i'm
mediate reinforcement. 1t would al.
most seem as though the Paris min
istry had sought to force the issue of
dominance of influence. In that case
the London government has taken the
trick by pointing out that the French
moves have been contrary to the spirit
of the compact whereby France agreed
to take no action without first consult
ing London.
Adjustment of these differences is
to be welcomed. A break now be-
tween England and France would be
a disaster. Fortunately the Polish
issue is recognized at Paris as of less
consequence than the maintenance of
cordial relations between the two coun-
tries that stand today as the bulwarks
of peace in Europe.

The Unready Islands"

An authoritative forecast of the re-
port of the Wood-Forbes commission.
now in the Philippines. shows that
the following recommendations viii be
made to the American Congress:
The Philippines should be retained.
with a continuation Of the autonomy
granted by the Jones act. but with
closer American supervision. The
courts must be thoroughly overiarled.
finances must be rehabilitated and
peonage practices broken up.
This means that the Philippines are
not ready for independence. The COM
missioner believe that America must
continue it's responsibility in the is
lands. The development of the is
landers has not reached a point where
our efforts may come to an end.
The report will have disappoint-
ing and even disquieting effect in the
United States. There had been a
growing feeling that the Wood
Forbes Investigations would show
that the time was at hand when the
Filipino could take over and get
along "on his own."-Philadelphia

The President and the Press.

Lord NOrthcliffe yesterday attended
the semiweekly conference at the
White House between the President
and the Washington correspondents.
The meeting interested him very
much, but he made no comment.
Mr.. Harding. both as official and as
former newspaper editor. knows the
value of the press in this country. He
wants to keep in touch with it. So
he receives members Of the press twice
a week, and discusses with them the
issues of the day, and responds to
questions as to administration moves
and measures.
Mr.. Wilson took similar course.
Although the politicians complained
Of "offishness" on his part, he gave the
representatives Of the press no cause
for quarrel on that score. He met
them at appointed times. and fenced
with them for points in a way that
both sides enjoyed.
1t is. Of course, the proper course,
and both sides profit. The President
receives as much information as he
imparts. He turns interviewer him.
self, and learns from his callers how
to turn the trick.
Foreigners are impressed with every
feature Of the accessibility of our pub.
lie officials to the rank and file. 1t is
particularly striking when they see
the head Of the state open his doors,
and admit to conferences men not in
office. and with no other credentials
but those relating to their service to
the public.

No Preliminary Conference.

No preliminary conference will be
held between any group of the powers
INVITED to the disarmament discussion.
That is the definite understanding
based upon official views. not officially
Expressed. The position 0f the United
States is made plain in that no agree
ment as to the scope of the confer
ence is to be had by any smaller num-
ber Of the powers than all of those in
vited. In other words, there is to be
no repetition here Of the proceeding at
Paris. when the peace treaty was vir-
tually written in principle by very
small group.
Certain reasons have been advanced
for a preliminary meeting, particularly
the convenience of the British colo
nial premiers. The State Department
appears quite willing to accommodate
the premiers and to adjust to their
prearranged programs as far as pos
sible. But it is of far more Importance
that the final conference should be
held in circumstances of the most per-
feet good faith and freedom of discus
sion than that the personal con-
yenience Of certain officials should be
conserved.
The spirit of the conference as call
ed by President Harding is to be sim
cerity. If an agreement is to be
reached by the major powers to set
lie equitably and permanently the
issues and policies that make possible
for warfare and consequently to estab-
Rish themselves on a basis of assured
peace it will be only in that spirit.
Any other outcome of the conference
would be a false settlement, breeder
Of trouble rather than a maker OF
peace. And the first requirement of
sincerity is perfect good faith between
all of those powers that have by in
clusion in the invitation been recog-
nized as holding in their control the
balance Of the world peace today. This
will be no occasion for smart practice
Or intrigue or combinations. 1t is an
Experiment, as it were. in international
politics. If 1t succeeds it will give the
all lands from an enormous burden of
taxation and debt. If it fails it will
neave conditions as they are. perhaps
.no worse and no better save that
things must. in that case. have been
better for the mere trying.
