when he had taken up all the tickets
he came back, and stopped for a

He has listened to complaints when

find one person assaulting another on the street
and you rush in to help the person assailed
and succeed in beating the assailant, knock
ing him down and holding him until he cries
for peace. only to have him become defiant
again as soon as you let him up. you cannot
say that the struggle with that fellow is over.
Today the French army is ready to move on
into Germany marching toward Berlin where
the Allies should have gone before they agreed
to any armistice. There is no telling what this
movement may lead to.
The United States. however, has quit and all
it has to show for the part it played in the
great war are some $1,000 graves in France.
a large body of wounded and MANNED young
| men at home and a great debt that will keep
the people paying heavy taxes for the next
generation. Well might the veterans OF the
World Wa ask what it was all about.
We went in to save civilization and make
the world safe for democracy. The boys
thought they were fighting with some great
principal at stake. Now. thanks to the action
of the United States senate, it is learned that
we went into the war merely to bring Ger
many to her knees. Having done that, and in
spite of the fact that she is rapidly rising to
her feet again as defiant as ever, we quit
with the hardest part of the job yet to be done.
1t is about as ignominious a showing as any
great nation could make after having gone
into a thing with such a spirit as we displayed
at the outset.
The senate is certainly making an awful mess
of our foreign relations and President Harding
does not seem to be ~forceful enough to estab-
lish his own policy. Just before 1t was decided
to put the Knox resolution through President
Harding dined with Senators Lodge and Knox,
and Ambassador Harvey, that enigma whom
he has just appointed as our representative to
the Court of st. James. These men, appar-
emily, were able to twist the President around
their little finger, so to speak, and get his
consent to whatever they wanted to do. II
the President, who, while being an amiable
have no forceful will of his own, would listen
more to the advice of his own secretary of state
and not so much to the scheming. crafty sena-
tors, he would be far better off.
The one great hope of the nation in the
present crisis is Charles E. Hughes. While he
cannot accomplish everything single-handed,
his presence at the head of the state depart
ment gives the country confidence and hope
for the future. There is good reason to be-
lieve that the Republican leaders at Washing
ton would be glad to be rid of him. God help
the nation IL they ever succeed in forcing his
resignation.

FORCE OF HABIT, PERHAPS

1t is rather interesting to read that the first
report received at police headquarters regard
ing the enforcement OF the new state prohibi-
ton law was to the effect that a saloon was
visited by a policeman as early as $50 O'Clock
Saturday morning and that everything was
found o. X. The interest is aroused by the fact
that the place should be open at that unearth-
ly hour when, under daylight saving time. 1t
is hardly daylight. In the old days the saloons
opened early for the beneht of the topers who
had to have an "eye-opener" before they could
eat any breakfast. But "eye-openers' consist
ed of something decidedly stronger than soda
pop and near-beer. We cannot believe that
the demand for such stuff as the law now
permits to be sold would attract a man down
town as early as $50 in the morning so why
would the saloon be open at such a time?
Probably it is the force of habit, the saloon
keeper having not yet become used to the new
ways.

OUR HUMBLE EXIT

claring peace with Germany the United States
ends in a nzzle that which was begun so grand
and nobly. Having gone to the assistance of
the Allies who were struggling to save civiliza-
ton itself we abandon them at one of the most
critical periods in the whole history of the
war.
For, in spite of the fact that a treaty OF
peace has been signed by all the nations that
were at war excepting the United States, and
in spite Of the farcical Knox resolution, the
struggle is not over. by any means. If you

ENCOURAGING LYNCH LAW

Jersey justice received a rude shock Friday
when a stay in the execution of George Wash
tington knight, the negro murderer, was grant
ed by the court. This mean that this fend
will not be electrocuted this week in accord
sncs with the sentence pronounced at the time
of his trial. 1t is just such action as this that
breeds lynch law.
There is no question as to the Negroes guilt.
He pleaded guilty to the most heinous crime
that can be committed. He was accorded every
privilege guaranteed by law, however, and was
oven examined as to his mental condition be-
fore his trial. A competent lawyer put up
the best plea possible in his behalf and a jury,
after due elaboration, found him guilty. The
negro was then sentenced to die sometime dur
ing the first week in May. Justice had been
done and the law was indicated.
Now comes along a lawyer from Atlantic
City. said to be representing e negro minister
IN New Brunswick, and makes an application
for a review of the case and a new trial. This
was Indignantly denied by Chancellor Walker
before whom the application was made. but the
denial in itself operates as a stay so that an
appeal may be made to the court of errors. A
stay Of the execution was then issued by Justice

the technicalities of the law as this. The crime
Of which Knight Is guilty is one that arouses
men to do desperate things. In many instances
under similar provocation they have taken the
law into their own hands and hung the Grim
inaI from the nearest tree. The only remedy
for this so-called lynch law is confidence In
thu written law. This can only be secured by
