An Unwelcolne Advocate

William r. Hearst devotes two
columns of black-faced type on the
first page of his newspaper to a full
some praise of France that will fill
Intelligent Frenchmen with mingled
feelings of amazement and horror
Since France went to war with Ger
many Mr.. Hearst has not been
among her admirers. 1t is true that
he never blackguarded her so vio-
lently as he did England and the war
administration Of his own coun-
try. But by insinuation and innu-
endo he made it plain to the French
that he was not their friend, and
through the support Of their enemies
in the early years of the war he con-
vinced all France that he desired
her defeat.
France has long since listed and
ticketed Mr.. Hearst. She will have
none of him or of his newspapers.
She shrinks from his friendship as
she shrinks from his praise. just
now she has troubles enough Of her
ewn without the blighting advocacy
which for perfectly obvious reasons
Mr.. Hearst has begun.
She does not forget that she
found it necessary to execute fol
treason one of her citizens who was
friendly with Mr.. Hearst during tbs
war. Belated and insincere praise
will not deceive her in the least. His
simpering "Vive La France" she
will find unendurable.

South Pacific Settlements

The Chilean government has ac-
cepted peru's proposal that the two
countries name plenipotentiaries to
meet in Washington and continue
negotiations for the settlement of
outstanding disputes. The Tacna-
africa plebiscite, provided for in the
Treaty of Ancon. is one Of the main
subjects of controversy. The pleb-
iscite was to be held in 1898, and
hasn't been held vet. Chile recently
asked Peru to cooperate in fixing a
date for the election and in deter
mining the conditions under which
it should be held.
There seems to be disposition in
Lima to hold that the plebiscite ar
tee OF the 1888 treaty is moribund.
From the tenor of a note sent by
Peru to Bolivia a few days ago it
may be assumed that Peru prefers
to have the Tacna-Arica question
arbitrated The note said that Peru
would gladly help in bringing about
an arbitration between Bolivia and
Chile, provided the controversy be-
tween Peru and Chile could be set
tied by arbitration.
Bolivia also has claims against
Chile arising out of the alleged nom
execution of the treaties which ended
the war Of 1878. She suggested the
calling of an international confer
ence to deal with "the South Pacific
problem"
Whether a tripartite settlement
can be arrived at or not, or even a
dual settlement, beginning of ne
gotiations which may lead to some
thing now seems assured. American
concord will be greatly helped by
the disposition Of misunderstanding
and grievances which have clouded
the relations of these three South
American republics for the last forty
years.

Vitannines

Enter a new set Of words into the
general vocabulary-namely, deriv-
atives of the term "vitamine." As
electricity brought in a brood of ad-
jectives and metaphors, and the
motor car did the same, so the little
vitamine promises to have a largo
family.
Domestic service experts are rec
ommending foods swarming, as the
English say, with the jolly little
beggars. Scientists display as warn
ings starved white rats that have
been stuffed with carbohydrates,
but which perish because their
ration has lacked the element that
stimulates healthy metabolism; ad-
ycrtisements invite us to carry
around vitamines in convenient vest
pocket packages. Milk distributors,
on the ground that the product they
handle is great vitamine contain
er. eXhort all to increase their milk
order. Pill, tablet and cake
manufacturers proclaim that the
vitamines in milk are the right
strain and have no doubt that a
man who fails to INCEST them in
concentrated form is not fair to his
family.
What is it all about? The skepti-
cal suggest that the only conclusion
to be drawn is that the notion still
prevails that a large part of the
public continues to be gullible.
Those who have a liking for novelty
partake eagerly. But DR.. Casimir
Funk, who has borne some part
III introducing the newcomer, frank
ly admits that it is improbable
that much can be positively said.
IF there is any message" he de-
clares, from the scientific labora-
tories to the American people it is
this: Lcok forward with confidence
to the day when science shall ferret
from Nature her valuable secret a.

Prohibitions s Temperate Foes
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Failure to understand and re-
spond to the psychology of the pro-
hibition problem is responsible for the
series of disasters that have attended
all past attempts to remove this eX-
crescence from the body polite. Not
until the anti-prohibition forces recog-
nize the vital fact that the liquor evil,
past, present and future, is of equal
Importance with the evils Of prohibi-
tion will they make any headway in
the direction of "life, liberty and the
pursuit Of happiness"
If we expect to right a wrong we
must be sure that we are not in the
wrong ourselves. We must not leave
the work for temperance in the hands
Of fanatics and those whose sole in
terest Is the profit, political and other
wise, to be gained by masquerading as
the friends of temperance and who
know not what that word means.
A few active, intelligent and red
blooded Americans with the courage of
their convictions, having a we'll defined
objective Of practical nature, will
accomplish more in the way of sane
and safe solution Of the prohibition
problem than all of the half-hearted
who are content to sign their names
to protest against prohibition and
let it 60 at that D. r. BROWNE.

Zeal Can Go Too Far

The Anti-Saloon League will do
we'll not to insist that the prohibl-
tion law be so amended as TO deny
the right of the churches to use
sacramental wine. The support OF
many religious people was won to
the prohibition movement on the dis
tinct assurance that there should be
no interference with the taking of
wine at the altar.
Now that the law is in effect, 1t
will be an impertinence to suggest
that the clergy are not abiding by
it. Any attempt at espionage and
effort to regulate" the use of wine
by them is certain to be resented.
The statement by Ralph A. Day,
prohibition enforcement agent, that
he will enforce the law without re-
ligious prejudice is quite unneces-
sary. Mr.. Day is at present with
out discretion in the matter of sacra-
mental wine. He can interfere with
its use only if Mr.. Anderson and his
Anti-Saloon League succeed in Sc
curing an amendment to the law.
Mr.. Anderson announces that he
has not yet made up his mind as to
what he intends to do. 1t will be-
hoove him to make up his mind at
very early date and to arrive at the
decision that there are limits even
to his zeal for absolute prohibition.
The great body Of Christian peo-
pie will tolerate no changes in the
law that will enforce changes in the
ceremonies Of their religion. A pro-
hibition movement that goes so far
as to attack the Church and its in
stitutions will drive from it its most
valuable and influential supporters.

Our Haytian Protectorate

The Senate committee which in
vestigatcd conditions in Hayti favors
a modification Of the form Of
American control there. At present
there is divided jurisdiction. The
committee would have authority
ccntcred in a High Commissioner,
who would replace the Envoy EX-
traordinary and also be superior
both to the military and to the other
civilian authorities.
The troubles we have had in Hayti
were due largely to defective ad
ministration. The American per-
sonnel was not happily chosen. Un-
necessary antagonisms were aroused.
The chairman of the Senate COM
mittcc, Mr.. Mccormick, calls at
tention to the ''great Importance Of
choosing for service in Hayti, in
civil and military capacities, officers
who are sympathetic with the Hay
tan people, who will seek to estab-
lish cordial relations with the
Haytians. This rule was unfortu-
nately not observed under the
Wilson Administration.
The United States has established
a protectorate over Hayti. But Hayti
is still a recognized state. 1t is
member, for instance, Of the League
Of Nations. Our occupation is q
friendly one and intended, under
the terms of the treaty of 1915, to
be helpful. We are obligated, there
fore, to respect the nationality Of
people among whom we are trying
to establish moro orderly admin
istration. This obligation was not
scrupulously enough recognized
under the Wilson regime. Hayti has
now become tranquilized. 1t can
easily be made prosperous and freed
of it's European debt. Its educated
class also can be fully reconciled to
American occupation by a wiser
policy of consideration and CO.
operation.

No Rest for the Weary

Mr.. Hughes, in his capacity of
human dynamo, grudgingly made a
concession to Christmas Sunday. but
induced the delegates to continue
their labors among themselves.
Achievement is the only thing that
seems to appeal to the Secretary of
State.
And to achieve he is willing to
work the delegates as they have
rarely been worked before. Results
are all that satisfy him, and results
are all he will discuss publicly.
This gives him a double incentive to
keep the conference moving, for not
only does he desire concrete results
for their own sake, but he is con-
stantly spurred on by the wish for
news on the part of the country. AS
ne makes it a fixed principle not to
discuss uncompleted things he never
talks of anything except what has
been decided by the conference. In
erder to satisfy this craving Of the
press, therefore, and yet play the
game according to his own rules, the
Secretary is obliged TO have points
settled so that he can hand them out
to the voracious public.
To the Europeans, accustomed to
rest one day out OF seven and not
to kill themselves on the six others,

Anxious themselves to get home for

standards so long as there was some

Women Debaters' Topics
Questions About To Be Discussed
by National Organizations

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: I think the following questions
to be debated during the first two
weeks of January by representatives
OF the large national womon's organ-
izations of the country meeting in
Washington might interest your read
crs. Indeed similar debates mipht
we'll be held throughout the country.
/. Will the American valuation
plan of the Fordncy tariff bill tend to
skyrocket the price of household
goods at time when wages are fall
ing, thereby working unnecessary
hardship on the American consumer?
The idea is to place the tariff not as
formerly on the foreign price of the
goods but on the American price.
2. Shall the womcn's organizations
favoring separate department of ed
ucation accept department of educa-
tion and welfare, with education as
one division, as step toward their
goal, remembering that commerce and
labor started ms ono and separated,
and believing that If education and
public health start together they will
be found too big for ono bed and will
ultimately become two distinct depart
ments?
3. Shall prohibition officials be
placed under civil service? If so, shall
there be for them a specially guarded
law, one that does not make it neces-
sary that a man entering the service
has past police experience, as to de-
mand this experience might cut out
from service many excellent officials ?
4. Will the proposed blanket amend
ment Of the National Woman's party
calling for the removal of all civil,
legal and political disabilities due to
sex or marriage, do more good than
harm? 1t will give suffrage to our
overseas possessions, remedy many
unfair marriage, probate and guardian

AS to Censorship

The effort of dramatists and "sce-
narists" to reform the spoken and
pictured drama from the inside may
eliminate few Objectionable pro-
ductions in the future. 1t may even
serve to Tighten the labors Of the
official censors.
Yet after all it is the playgoing
public which decides whether plays
are good or bad, and its decisions
are, as rule, righteous. The
trouble with the drama just now is
not that it is getting out Of bounds
as to morals. 1t is due to the wane
of spending era and consequent
growing discernment on the part Of
people who buy theater tickets.
These people may not be highly
cultivated, but they know what they
like. Mostly they like plays that arc
wholesome and amusing. The NOR
bid sex play appeals to but few of
them. List the successes Of the last
two years, and you will observe that
most of them carefully avoided tri-
angles and other problems of a GER
tain sort of society.
Playwrights and scenario writers
are as likely to err in their guesses
about public taste as managers
more likely, if anything. The pro-
ducer has the larger stake, and has
to give the matter more thought or
lose his money. The author has only
unmade money to lose.
Taken as whole, the people of
the United States can be trusted to
exercise the right sort of censor
ship. They will pay to see the plays
that interest and amuse them and
make failures of the others by leav-
ing them alone. And inasmuch as
they are normal and healthy-minded
people, the matter may be safely
left to them.

In the mean time grandfather

they did not become dwarfed by
following the simple rule of eating

grandfather and grandmother are
intelligent and give due weight to
the statement that the average hu-
