ferences, those senators who have had
to yield some measure Of their con-
victions are to be commended on the
caliber Of their craftsmanship. 1t is
thus great measures of statecraft are
evolved. 1t was thus the Constitu-
tion Of the United States was brought
into being, satisfying no one at the
time in all particulars, but universally
recognized today as mans greatest
achievement in practical politics. II
Is probable that much fault will be
found with the revenue law which
will result from agreement among
members of the responsible party to
meet the responsibility with which the
country has charged them, but it Is
likely to be a better measure than II
would have been had the holders OF
any one set Of opinions been able to
ride roughshod over those who dis
agreed with them.
The democrats, 1t would seem, must
defer to another day their hope OF
seeing the republican majority on the
rocks. The time still is fresh in the
memory Of men when republicans
allowed their differences to reach the
breaking point. The result was eight
years of Punishment from power, and
the mistake Ia not apt to be repeated
at least until the generation which

Judge and Janitor.

The day of our deliverance from
the domination Of the janitor has
dawned. The doctrine that the jani-
tor can do no harm has dissolved
under police court test. A janitor
has been fined for disturbing the
peace. 1t has been decreed that
tenants have some rights which the
janitor is bound to respect.
This janitor. cherishing the conviction
general among janitors that the way
10 keep tenants humble Is to treat 'em
rough, made a great racket with a
waste basket on the back stairs and
beat on a tenants door and raised his
voice in janitor jargon and invited the
tenant to come out and have his head
knocked off. The tenant, being dis
Greet and desiring to retain his head,
remained inside until the janitor had
gone off somewhere and then came out
and had the king Of the apartment ar
rested and hailed into court like COM
mon culprit. And the judge. after hear
ing the evidence, fined him $100 and
laid down the law to the general effect
that janitors do not own the apart
ments and have no right to override
tenants rights.
Let all tenants take notice that the
courts of the land are open to them
in the struggle against the tyrannous
rule of the janitor. And let all janitors
beware lest the tenant worm, heart
ened by this courts action. turn to
the courts everywhere for relief from
the janitor's despotism.-St. Louis Post
Dispatch independently.

Fire.

Fire Prevention week did not have
q fireless opening. 1t was rather a
bad day in the line of fires and a busy
one for firemen, but the record is not
to be tested by the events of single
day. The record of the whole week
and the record of the weeks and
months following will be the test. The
campaign for fire prevention ought to
have, and no doubt will have, con.
siderable influence In preventing fires
and the record will show decrease
in fires and fire losses. Chilly weather
in the fall, the first chilly spell after
months Of unusual heat, might be
expected to cause a rise in fire losses.
And there is another thing Of which
one should think. 1t is now the
season Of falling leaves and the sea-
son of burning them, and Of burning
brush gathered in clearing up lots
and fields. People should be careful
that leaf and brush fires shall not

casion for increasing the number Of
units produced and sold in a normal
business. Yet it is equally true In
many instances that, playing an equal
part with depleted reserves, the timid-
ity with which many industrial estab-
lishments today regard the future is
contributing extensively to current
unemployment.
The action Of the Steel Corporation
should go far toward dissipating that
timidity. Here are the responsible
heads Of huge industry who, looking
forward into the future to estimate the
probable trend Of business, decide that
the prospects are such as to warrant
the expenditure Of ten millions Of dol.
lars upon plant extension and i'm.
provements. Operating at 40 per cent
capacity today, they anticipate an in.
dustrial revival in the near future
which will demand more than 100 per
cent capacity from their existing
plant. Deliberately, and with all the
confidence borne of an assurance
which is patent to all forward-looking
business men, they have decided to
take advantage of an excellent oppor-
tunity to prepare for the flood Of
orders they anticipate. 1t is probable
that nothing could more surely hasten
the arrival Of the hour for which they
are preparing than would general
emulation Of their sound policy by all
who are in a position to do so.

Senator Knox.

Philander c. Knox entered the pub.
lie service reluctantly. He had quail.
fed for the bar and achieved such
success there political office. even of
a national character, possessed no lure
for him.
But, persuaded to accept office. he
buckled to his duties and to the new
him fame and fortune in his profes-
sion and enabled him to write his
name among its leading members.
In both the Department Of Justice

for the country's business, as also
i'll the Senate when transferred to
the legislative field. Thus, wherever
placed-as attorney at law, as cabinet
officer and as senator-he took his
stand in the front rank of the activi-
ties, and merited, and received. the
confidence and admiration Of all his
associates.
In the use Of terms we sometimes

wit-Thomas B. Reed-once in a run

no knack or taste for political man
agement, but whose reading and
grasp of public questions entitled him
70 the place he occupied among those
indisputably rated as statesmen.
He has been snatched by death
almost on the eve of the vote in the
Senate on the treaty which is rooted
in the resolution he helped frame
respecting peace with Germany. But
he had the assurance that the treaty
would be ratified, and that his labors
had not been in vain. The country
and his party lose heavily by his
death.

D. G. Tax Surplus a Concrete Fact

Elsewhere in The Star is printed,
with editorial comment, a statistical
table covering the period from 1900 to
1920. which shows with figures sup
piled by the District auditors office
the Districts tax deficit or tax surplus
in each year and the accumulation or
reduction of deficit or surplus at the
end Of each year. 1t also shows the
recognition by Uncle Sam through
Congress of the existence of District
tax surpluses in the Treasury in the
transfer from time to time of portions
Uf these surpluses from the credit of
the District to the credit of the United
States. These transfers are noted in
the table as 'Direct Charges"
In making these subtractions from
the revenues Of the District in the
Treasury the existence of such reve-
nues is, of course, recognized, and
the obligation to repay the remainder
of such accumulated revenues after
these deductions have been made is
admitted and confirmed. 1t is incon-
ceivable that Uncle Sam would recog-
rize this District surplus in the Treas
I,ry only when on some plausible pre-.
text he takes some portion of it to
himself.
The figures of this table prove con-
clusively the existence Of the District
surplus as a concrete fact, raising a
distinct obligation, not to be avoided,
and will repay careful study by Wash
ingtonians and by our legislature on
Capitol Hill.

Optimism and Unemployment.

The decision Of the United States
Steel Corporation to spend $4,000, 900
in extension Of it's manufacturing
plants and improvements deserves the
wholehearted applause of the nation
upon two main grounds. In the first
place it marks the first step upon a
large scale of what is obviously the
most practical and certain method of
meeting the unemployment crisis. In
the second place it connotes a degree
Of optimism as to the near future Of
American industry which cannot but
have a heartening influence upon
those to whom the depression which
has overlong gripped the nation has
, brought chronic gloom.
In ASSUMING the function Of pioneer
IN reducing unemployment through
+ the effective means Of furnishing ad-
ditional employment the Steel Corpora
tion sets an example which all who
can would do well to emulate. Under
existing market conditions it has been
found impossible to operate the mills

thousands Of employees have of neces-
sity been laid of. The corporation,
seeking a means Of alleviating the re-
sulting distress, determines to avail it.
self of an excellent opportunity to ex-
tend it's existing maximum capacity.
1. Is true that to enter upon such an
undertaking one must be possessed of
strong emergency reserves either in
cash or credit, and that the non-pos-
session of such reserves will preclude
many from following the example
which they will applaud. A time when
the unit cost of production is greater
than the unit rrice of sale could hard
ly be held to be an advantageous oc.

The Conference and Its Meaning.

Vice Admiral Kato, 4 member OF
the Japanese delegation to the arma-
ment conference, is en- route to Wash
ington, and at Honolulu gave an in
terview from which this is taken:
"There should be unreserved ex-
change Of opinion. with the sole aim
of devising measures that can be
carried actually into efect. Agree
ments, even though phrased in fault
less Language. are OF no o avai an, uhless mes
serve to limit with justice and fair
ness. 1 am convinced this Is the real
aim of the conference, which Will be
attained"
Here are two very sensible sug-
gestions. One is that the exchanges
Of opinions at the conference should
be "unreserved." The nations through
their delegates should declare them
selves as they actually feel toward
the questions presented. and consider
themselves bound by the agreements
reached. Measures devised should be
carried into effect.
The other is that the conference
steer by the practicable, and avoid
fine language. This is a most i'm
portant suggestion. There is misun-
derstanding, much too wide, as 10 the
nature of the conference. President
Harding himself has explained that it
is not millennialistic. He wants the
conference to keep its feet on the
ground and accomplish something.
Peace on earth, good will toward
men, is so large a topic it incites to
excess of statement by those who, ex'
press themselves eloquently and with
ease; and the wounds Of the world
war are still SO green they render
pardonable the hope that they may
be the last in the experiences of men
But the conference cannot proceed as
though that hope were a fact, or
safely with the intention of making
it a fact. To justify its existence ii
must confine itself to the practicable,
stated in the terms of every day.

Need of a Third Peace Treaty.

In French diplomatic circles the
opinion has been formed that in or
der to put o final end to war with
Germany and to establish permanent
world peace, there is a need of one
more peace treaty between the United
States and the allies. Need of this
treaty lies in the fact that the United
States signed a separate treaty with
the Germans, which treaty does not
recognize many important conditions
of the Versailles treaty.
The treaty signed in Berlin between
the United States and Germany does
not ratify the fact that Alsace-Lor-
raine belongs to France. On the
other hand. it admits America to the
commission on war indemnities, which
must be approved by the allies. The
French ministry of foreign affairs
arisen and for this reason proposes
to form another treaty. Such a treaty
between the allies and America
would not have to be long one-a
few important sentences would be
sufficient.-Dziennik die Wszystkich

Congress and the Record.

The republicans in Congress, who
are having the de'il's own time with
both the tax question and the tariff
question, may console themselves with
the record. No Congress ever laid
taxes in a way to please everybody.
The thing is impossible. Death and
taxes are certain callers, but never
welcome. Whatever its size, tax
bill always seems too large. The bill
now must be large. Uncle Sam is
carrying heavy obligations and they
must be met.
AS for the tariff. a revision has
always encountered sharp criticism
and all sorts Of predictions. Singu-
larly enough, the most confident pre-.
dictions Of success ever heard in con-
nection with revision Of the tariff
were made by the men who drew and
passed the Gorman.Wilson revision.
And yet that revision failed more sig
nally than any other in congressional
history.
AS singularly, there were serious
misgivings as to the Dingley revision.
though they were not shared by Mr..
Dingley, who presided over the prep
aration Of the measure, or by Presi'
dent Mckinley. who signed it. They
had full faith that it would work,
and it did work most successfully.
1t proved to be jewel of a tariff
measure, both as respects raising
revenue and raising the depressed
spirits of the business world.
Congress now has the Job Of jobs in
hand, and must take chances. There
is no way around. or underneath. or
overhead. 1t must go straight to it
and buck the line.
