OF WORLD CONCERN

In his statement to the Polish min
lister Secretary Hughes Identifies the
Silesian boundary dispute as a matter
of European concern, in whose settle
ment the United States should not be-
come involved, and says that in con-
sequence our representatives in the
Supreme Council have been instruct
ed to take no part in the discussion,
says the New York Tribune.
This declaration, which establishes
highly important precedent, Will sad
den those who have hoped that this
country was to be one of the upholders
of the substantive parts of the Yer
sailles peace, and, through this ana
other action. one or the maintainers
of general world peace. We refuse TO
take part in even the discussion OF
what seems matter of grave world
concern-a question which, if not sat
isfactorily settled, may lead in the fu-
ture to another world war.
Is boundary disputet a matter OF
local concern, or has 1t broader sig
nificance? 1t depends on circum-
stances. Where runs the national line
of Turkey is of little general interest
But the frontier of Belgium, and re-
spect for it, was of supreme impor-
lance
In which list, the negligible or the
non-negligible, falls the Silesian boun-
dairy caAe? Is the identification OF
Secretary Hughes accurate in fact!
1t is doubtful if the world as whole
thinks so.
The particular danger now threat
ening world war relates to Germany
and TO Russia. These two nations are
dissatisfied with the peace. They
would upset it. The creation of Po-
land linked to the democratic nations
by sympathy and interest was not only
demanded by justice, but required as
a bulwark of peace. Poland was TO
prevent an easy union of Germany and
Russia.
Looking at world conditions broad
ly, the assumption of Secretary
Hughes that the Silesian boundary
question is local matter must be
challenged. If the world at large is
not concerned in this question, in what
one is it concerned? And if the world
is concerned the United States is also
concerned.

new enterprise, in addition to the long
deferred bridge that will probably
cross at Fifty-seventh street.
1t is easy to see how far-reaching
these great enterprises will be and
how much this immediate part of New
Jersey will be benefited. There is real
" no telling how extended the improve
ment will be, because there will be
such a food tide of new residents COM
ing over from the great city that their
name will be legion. And they would
start the long march months before
the starting of the tunnel once it was
assured. In time the second bridge
over the Hudson river is merely ques-
tion of time after the first one gets
over. There are already four magnifi-
cent bridges over the East river, and
the Hudson will doubtless have as
MANY in time. The one big deterrent.
of course, will be the far greater cost
of bridging the Hudson. But let the
value of bridges be established and
mere money will not stand in the way.
New York must have greater breathing
space, and northerly New Jersey offers
by far the greatest outlet as well as in
ducementS.

LANES FAREWELL TO EARTH

When a public man comes TO uie
the event is usually enveloped in the
obscruity of conventional phrases. III

man even through the period OF oDlt-

TWO REALLY GREAT MEN

The current week marks the end OF
two of Americas greatest men, Chie1
Justice White of the Supreme Court,
and ex-Seeretary of the Interior Lane.
Both were truly great men, each typi-
flying the exalted standards OF intel
lectual and moral work that will
make their names of signal impor-
lance in the country's annals. JUS
tice White was man of extraordinary
gifts, a sage at interpreting the lana,
and will rank with that first great
jurist, Chief Justice John Marshall.
He did not believe the Supreme Court
was mere process or machine for
grinding our justice as such, but
court of Interpretation of principle
based on equity as we'll as justice-an
institution for the people and their
rights.
OF Secretary Lane, the idealist, no
vision was greater than the broad
sweep of his human sympathy. He
lived for others, and money was never
an air in his life. He eXemplified the
very uppermost limits of the unseltish
life and made his daily walks living
poem. The country has never pro-
duced another man like Franklin h.
Lane, for his counterpart among men
was as rare as his character was
beautiful, and that was absolute.
Thus we lose two notable jewels in
the crown of our intellectual stars
two men whose deeds were modest in
performance but luminous in effect.

Have to Eat the leavlnas.

The women of California and other
fruit-producing states Of the Pacific
coast are complaining that, while they
are charged high prices for the fruit
that they must buy. they are unable
to get anything but the second-grade
produce. Under ordinary circum.

the eastern markets and only when
the market Is glutted are they able to
get the best.

Silly Prison Sentence.

In Italy it is not uncommon for a
criminal to receive full sentence upon
each of a number of separate convic-

He was condemned to three years i'm

WORK 0N WEEV|[S IN CORN SAYS H|NDS

Auburn, September J. Farmers who are interested in reduc- ing corn weevil damage to the mini mum next year and also in making more corn to the acre should select their seed in the field in the fall of the year as soon as it is mature, Is the advice of Dr. W. F. Hinds, en- tomologist for the extension service.
 Numerous experiments in Alabama and also in other states have proved that it is possible to materially in crease the yield of corn by field se- lection of the seed rather than wait ing and selecting in the crib, and in order to make this work as easily understood as possible pr. Hinds says that the seed corn should come from vigorous, erect stalks bearing their ears at a medium height, usually between waist and shoulder, never above the shoulder line, that two medium size ears per stalk are us ually preferable to one large single ear, and that for the prevention of WeeVllS ears haVlnS lons, tiSHt-ht- ting sshucks extending at least one and one-half inches beyond the tip should be selected.
 On the averag ge one bushel of seed corn will plant about six acres and farmers who select seed in the field should select at least twice as much as they will need for planting in or der to recull it at the barn and thereby secure the desired type Of ears and grains.
 After thorough investigation ex- tending over many years, pr. Hinds estimates that corn weevils take an annual toll from the farmers or Ala bama Of from s5,ooo,ooo to slo'ooo'ooV' equivalent to S20 to $40 for each farmer in the state, which loss can be largely eliminated by field selec- ton of seed, and, when necessary the fumigation of corn in the crib.
