A Yearly Balkan Conference.
(NeW York Post l

New relationships among the peoples of the Bal kans and Central Europe have grown up since the armistce. Evidences of better feeling new outlook of desire for sabilization and peace, continually reaching this country Czecho-Slovakia, Jugo-Slavia, and Rumana linked in a defensive alliance against reassertion of Magyar flaps burg imperialism; Austria, though distressed by the difficult circumstances of her economic situation is showing plainly that she desires to be good terms with the other states lying along the great Danubian waterway. and there is undoubtedly tacit understanding among all the smaller Slavic peo- pes that sooner later Bulgaria will be received by them into partnership
 What these states need most is close under standing of the economic problems which in the past have lain behind many of their differences. Their JealouseS and misunderstanding often deliberately fostered from the outside, have made their part the world tempting sphere for exploitation by the greater Powers. They need a program of co-opera- tion, of development, of productiveness
 In view of this fact there interesting possi- bfties in the suggestion made recently by the edi- tor of the Near East London review devoted to annual Balkan conference be inaugurated perhaps through the mediation of Western statesman possibly by agreement among the statesmen of the Balkans themselves. This conference to meet regu- larly each year in rotation the various capitals would be attended by representatives all the Balkan and Danubian countries irrespective of their political affiliations It would furnish means of clearing the air by the exchange of views in public and as such would be an agency working definitely for peace. Boges and real differences of opinion fade in the light of frank discussion and friendly personal intercourse. The experiment is well worth trying.

RECONSTRUCTION GOES ON WITH ITS

The latest of many transformations and readjust- nents to in famous institutions since the en forced abdication of King Alcohol is the announce ment that the celebrated wine cellars of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel to be made into a modern gym nasium, with tennis courts, racing tracks, boxing rings wrestling stages and accommodations and para pEernalia for many sorts of athletic sports The bar of this world renowned hostelry which had been called the trysting place for West visiting in Gotham long ago turned into a library and reading

LIMITING SIZE OF CONGRESS-.

Representative Cordell Hull of Tennessee has pro posed Constitutional Amendment that should receiv very serious consideration His resolution propose to limit the number of Representatives in Congres to 450 Whether 450 should be the limit whethe it should be less is proper matter for dis cussion but that there should be a Constitutions limit ought to be conceded. Nearly all of the State have fixed limits to their State Legislatures The, have felt that efficiency and economy both by making it impossible for the Legislatures grow to unweildy proportions The lower house of Congres has grown from less than 200 until there now 435 members, and the apportionment bill pro poses 4S3 members.
 Most of our economists believe the House Represent atves is already large, and that i, should be reduced That is probably true. A lmi CT $50 or 400 members would probably be wiser than 460. However it seems that it will continue to grow at the rate of 100 for every two three decades unless the people intervene through theii Constitution to fix. limit

The Old "Stone Fence."
Cincinnati Enquirer.) )


 There is indignation and tribulation manifest iG the prohibition camp the recently delivered opinion of the Attorney General of the United which fixes the legal status of hard cider. The of the enforcers of Volstead virtue insist that they have been betrayed, that cataclysms and vacuums about to engulf society.
 The Attorney General had the temerity to say that cidar may be kept in the home after it has fermented and become intoxicating. Wherefore the woeful uulations of the leaguers rend the air
 A man may sit down-forgetting his vine and fig treeby his cider barrel and watch it work, confident of the protection of the great American Government when criminal Nature spikes the inno- juice of the innocent apple. That is he may play Omar to the extent of reading book of verse, and swigging a swig of cider warranted to bring him dreams and visions. long he does it all en famila He must sell it. But he may possess it. Reserved for home use cdar legally is virtuous and sacrosanct.
 The argument of the Attorney General seems to be conclusive if profund. He points that the possession of liquor is not unlawful, is not prohibited by the eighteenth amendment. The opinion curtas the enjoyable activity of many ambitious and jealous officer of the enforcement squad. It to imply that it must be left to the constitution and the law to define themselves through the agency of their servants, the Courts rather than through the judgments of the Treasury and the vgilant engineers of the Volsead violence

MANY GOVERNORS WARN PEOPLE.

Within the last year many ol the Ho'erhors oi great American States have protested agalhst the tendency centralize the powers of goVefhmeht III tb;s country in the Federal Government at Washing .cn and to minimize the, powers of the State Govern ments at the cost of the government by the people. These Governors include strong men of both partleS and the four men most prominent and generally re- earded as strongest among all our Sta1e execu- lives of last year-Gov Cox of Ohio Gov. Lowden Of Illinois Gov Smith of New York and Gov. Coolidge of Massachusetts. Other Governors who nave warned the country against of centralization in clude Gov Clement of Vermont Gov. Stephens oi California Gov Cooper of South Carolina Gov Olcott of Oregon and others.
 These warnings coming from those who have given the matter thought in connection with the execution os their duties would indicate the gravity of the situation, and the necessity for action They also indicate that country is ripe for acton because the recognition of the dangers from overcentraliza ton of authority are generally recognized .s.''
 The best way to remedy the danger from this drift from the, Constitution would be for people to Ike greater interest in their local governments. They should put their strongest in the executive chairs of their States and Cities and in the State Legislatures and City Councils The States and Cities should be active and virile governments. If that ere done people would to look to local authori- ties for their remedies instead Washington. Gov ernment through the State and City organizations is government by the people, ef-governnent. Govern ment from Washington is, too often, government by people and organizations strong enough to maintain Hobbies at the National Capital Let the people cen ter their efforts in their local governments and Sena- tors and Representtaves in Congress will reflect that Condition in their attitude and No people keep closer tabf on the sentiment back home than those wise politicians who hold long tenure n Congress.

The Hoover Qualifications.
(POrt Angeles News l

Those Republican leaders who are said to be seeing red because Herbert Hoover is on the tentative cabinet list entitled to indulge their tastes in chromatics It is a private affair The law which prescrbes deportation for Reds does not apply here.
 Any objection to Herbert Hoover has to do with his partsanship. It has bearing upon his qual- dcaton. We believe it is everywhere recognized that Mir Hoover is one of the most capable products of education, training, hard knocks and pure gumption with which the country is present familiar He not only grew fast in the respect of his fellows during the crisis of war but his growth has pro ceeded on into peace, In whatever department of the government fortune should place him he would make that department efficient. reduce it's wastes, promote it's latent enthusiasm for good service It would be joy to observe him dealing with govern Went red-tape What has broken the heart of many m eager cabinet officer would inspire the Hoover person to battle with and conquer.
 Questions of partisan fitness for office must carry ess weight with the Harding administration than with any previous administration in our generation II 1t is to succeed the people count upon its Icing.
