Lite's Owm Terms
From the Philadelphia Ledger.)

Our lives were not of our election,
as those who grumble at fortune
are fond of reminding us. We had
no say as to where or when We
should come into the world. and
some of us would have made choices
vastly different. We always have
with us those who cast the fond
backward look to the supposed supe-
rior felicity Of bygone day and la
ment that they did not live in it.
They tell us that modern times are
decadent and modern youth degen-
crate till we grow tired of hearing
them and wish that instead of vain
Iamentation they would busy them
selves toward the improvement they
desire.
We came on earth to grapple with
life not as we wish it were, not
as we think Il ought to be, but as
it is Life imposes the conditions.
not we who live it. Nature was in
business and natural law was in
working order long before we ap-
pcared on the scene. We must sue
cumb or perish. Most of the time
our bitterness against the ordain-
ment is the result Of our own will
full, impetuous disobedience. The
warning stared us in the face, and
we overran it. We knew the rule
we broke. We imagined nature,
while she might punish the rest,
would show us a particular indul-
gence. We were deceived; but our
ruefulness came too late.
The men who complain most are
those least inclined to obey. Disci-
pline to them always has been dis
tasteful. AS children, they over
ruled parental authority; as adults,
they overrode prescriptions whose
reason was long ago made clear.
They have studied history not at all
or to no purpose. They have learned
nothing from the observable expert
ence of mankind. They have not
recognized that nature is as willing
to chastise a king as to rebuke a
commoner who does not obey her
edicts.
Through life, whether we like it
or not, we are under reign OF law
in one form or another. We might
as well submit, with such grace as
we are able to show; for the law is
puissant beyond any force we can
muster to resist II. When a man
thinks he can beat life at its own
great and immemorial game he be-
comes as useless to society as he
who studies to circumvent the law.
Often as it has been told, the tale
still bears the telling of Margaret
Fuller's complacent acquiescence in
her destiny; and Carlyles comment
thereupon. Il accept the universe"
announced the transcendental lady.
"Egad, she'd better!" Illuminated the
Sage of Chelsea when he heard of
the remark.

At the numerous occasions on
which Marshal Foch was called on
to speak he always expressed his de-
light and appreciation OF the honor
bestowed on him and the cordial
welcome shown. Nisibly affected
with the bestowal OF the honorary
degree OF doctor Of laws by the St.
Louis university in an open quad
rangle before the student body and
members of other Catholic schools,
the marshal declared it difficult to
express-himself. A few minutes

St. James's Orphanase.

One OF the inevitable Accomplishments of life
is orphans. Children are bereft of parents, left
for the world to look after. Other babies come
into the world unwelcome, source of reproach
to the mother and in alm~. every case deliber-
ately abandoned by the father. These must all
be cared for; no blame attaches to the child, and
claim to attention. Omaha has several splendid
institutions under whose sheltering roof these

Watsons Charges Must Be Sifted.

General Pershing has denounced the Watson
charges as the most outrageous and untrue ac-
cusations that could possibly be made and abso-
lutely without foundation" Unfortunately, not
all Americans will hold similar opinion. Enough
will still cling to the SANDER, simply for the rea-
son that it is aimed at the army commanded by
General Pershing.
The senate has again resolved that it will
probe the Watson charges; it owes that duty to
the country, and the inquiry should be thor
ough. Watson should be required, if humanity
possible, to disclose all his information, that he
may either be branded as malicious slanderer,
or be approved as public benefactor If he is
telling the truth, punishment of the guilty will
surely follow; if he is not, senator or no senator
he should suffer the penalty proper to SLAM
dercr.
Such proofs as he so far has offered are of the
Himsiest kind. Photographs of gallows and of
executions exist, for men were hanged in France.
but only after trial and with the approval of
Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States
tor sentence OF death by court martial can not
be carried out until it has been submitted to re-
view and is approved by the commander-ir-
chief The first execution took place in the
summer of 1917, not long after the first Ameri-
can troops reached France, and was for crime
for which Mr., Watson has approved lynching
without trial.
Other atrocious deeds were similarly pun
ished, but evidence consisting of photographs
made of such executions will not sustain the
sweeping allegations Of the remarkable senator
from Georgia The senates inquiry shoud he
such as will leave no doubt either way as to the
truth regarding the charges, and whoever de-
serves punishment should get it in full.

The British Delegation
(From the Washington Post.)


The announcement by Mr.. Lloyd
George of the personnel of the Brit
ish and Dominion delegations to the
conference on limitations of arma-
ments is gratifying assurance Of his
own attendance and of the high
character of the British representa-
ton. Mr.. Balfour, Lord Lee of Fare
ham and Ambassador Geddes are In
the first rank of British statesmen,
while the delegates from the domin-
ions are experienced and capable
men who have made good in the
great field OF international inter-
course.
Lord Lee of Fareham is the first
lord Of the admiralty and may be
considered a foremost authority on
naval affairs. He is in thorough
sympathy with the primary object
Of the conference. At his right hand
will be Lord Baetty, first sea lord.
a fighter and navigator In whom
the American people have both pride
and confidence. Mr.. Balfour will be
ably assisted by a staff Of experts
intimately acquainted with far east
ern questions. The maintenance of
happy relations between the Amer
lean and British delegations, what
ever the nature of questions that
may arise, will be largely in the
hands Of Sir Auckland GeddeS, who
enjoys the personal friendship of the
American delegates.
The popularity OF Mr.. Lloyd
George in the United States is the
result of his successful exercise of
qualities which Americans keenly
admire He has met StupendouS
problems and mastered them by in
genuity, audacity and unfailing con-
fidence. His bubbling optimism IS
trait which appeals to the young
men Of the United States. His read
mess to attack any problem, however
complicated, inspires confidence and
evokes applause. Throughout the
darkest days of the war he was alb
solutely undaunted. His optimism
was not mere indifference to danger.
by any means. but was based upon
courage, tenacity and resourceful-
ness.
Americans hope that Mr.. Lloyd
George will find in the conference
the widest field for the exercise Of
his wonderful genius for adjusting
differences among men and nations.
Better relations between France and
Britain. tending to settle the Upper
Silesian question. ought to result
from the conference in this capital
Thus, by crossing the Atlantic, Mr..
Lloyd George may facilitate the ad-
justment Of home questions as well
as lending his powerful influence to
the settlement OF International diff.

Put the Convicts to Work.

Both from the standpoint of humanity and
economy it is to be hoped that prisoners in the
state penitentiary are not left in idleness this
winter. It is no kindness to these men to re-
move them from all useful labor while the tax
payers support them. All except the very low

confined in a CELL
One New York prison produces all the gar
ments worn in the state institutions. Modern
penal practice has seen to It that lawbreakers
are taught to make themselves useful. Interest
in some trade or other occupation has re-
formative effect that mere confinement lacks.
This can be arranged, moreover, without con-
hcting with labor or industry in the free world

support. Sign painting, automobile repairs, hair

OF mechanical occupations are taught thus. Many
prisons utilize convcts for work of this sort, but
only to get the task done, and not with any idea
of vocational training.

A circular just received from the
corporation at Washington, D. c.,
dure which must be followed by
wishes to gain credit from the cor
poration without having the transac-
ton pass through a bank.
Tho circular defines cooperative
association as "a cooperative mar
keting association Of producers of
agricultural products, operating I'M
der marketing agreements which
confer upon the association unlim-
tied power to sell or pledge the agri-
cultural commodity in question" 1t
Is further required that "all dis
tribution Of net proceeds must be
made to its members in proportion
to the amount of products received
from them or marketed on their ac-
count" In case the association is a
capital.stock corporation, the stock

the amount of products marketed
for their account.
4 cooperative association, so de-
fined, may apply for loans direct to
the War Finance corporations. Such
loans may be made to cover loans
made by the association to its farm
or members, the proceeds OF which
have been or will be used for agri-
cultural purposes, including the har-
vesting or marketing of agricultural
products or the breeding, raising or
marketing Of live stock. Loans may
also be made to cover advances
made by the association to cover
partial payment on products in pro-
cess of being marketed through the
association.
Under these provisions a farmer
may borrow from the War Finance
corporation to finance the feeding of
live stock through the agency Of
his cooperative association just as
he may through his local bank. This
ruling Is contrary to an announce
mont made earlier by the local COM
mittee ard on which The Bee had
previously based a statement that
cooperative associations could bor-
row only in connection with the
marketing of products of members.

GRAND JURY PROBES

Young Mississippian Is Held, Charged With Shooting
 Woman to Death

Meridian, Miss, February s. -ASpe- cial.) With the investigation of minor crimes out of the way, a. num- Der of indictments for which have al- ready been returned, the grand jury which began it's deliberations Monday morning when the circuit court crimi- nal term of Lauderdale courrry was convened by Judge J.

 Roy Miner, whose family Hs one of the most prominent in this city, has been held as a suspect since the day after the body was found.

Finger print photographs taken from bloodstained articles and from the vrall paper in the Price home supposed to have been maoe py the murderers sLlong with all the evidence so far secured will be placed before the grand ijury with the hope that the identity and arrest of the murderers may be the result.
