An Apology to a COD.
. NE by one our cherished de-
lusions are dispelled.

~ NE by one our cherished de-
lusions are dispelled.
~ For fifty years the world has
believed that Mrs. OLeary's cow
was responsible for the great Chi
cago fire because a broken lamp
was found in her stall. Now come
the iconoclasts of the Chicago Fire
Department. on the eve of the semi
centennial of the conflagration, with
their SCATTERING evidence.
Both Mrs. O'Leary and her COW,
they have discovered, retired an
hour before the fire started. Whether
they base this assertion on a newly
discovered confession of Mrs.
OLeary or of the COW is not ap-
parent. Suffice it that the story
is false and that the cows repu-
tation was wrongfully blackened.
The world owes an apology to
that COW. For fifty years she has
been held up to obloquy as having
caused one of the greatest fires
known to history. She has been
looked upon as a bad COW, particu-
larly by the insurance companies.
And now it turns out that she was
a perfectly well-behaved, ladylike
COW, who went to bed early and
= chewed her cud without evil design.
Rest in peace, o COW! Yours was
not the first reputation to be black
ened by slanderous tongues. After
many centuries the story Of William
Tell and the apple turns out to be
bunk. Romulus and Remus were
never sucked by a wolf. The story
of Rip Van Wrinkle sleeping for
twenty years is a fake.
We even doubt whether Nero
played the fiddle while Rome burn
ed. He was probably playing auc-
ton pinochle.

Great League
of Nations
THE little League of Nations has
decided that it dare not hazard

THE little League of Nations has
decided that it dare not hazard
an appeal for funds to feed
starving Russia, which just about
reveals it's calibre. In this decision
it is at least consistent, for that it
wants Russia starved is proved by
the efforts its chief hackers took to
starve Russia when their power was
highest.
We are glad there is no such con-
sistency in the United States. Our
Government, too, made private war
on Russia and aided in its blockade,
but with the change in our Admins
tration has already come at least
this much of a change of heart
that Washington is no longer block
aiding Russia and unofficially is en-
couraging the generous American
people to give of their bounty for
Russian famine relief.
1t is only fair, too, that unofficial
America should now strive to undo
the cruelty of official America dur
ing the years when American arms
were firing on the Russian people
and American diplomatic power was
helping to seal the Russian gates.
It can never wholly undo that
cruelty and that stupidity. Memory
of it is bound to stand as blot on
the pages of our history and as
something for which future Ameri-
cans will be apologize when they
approach in friendly relations the
mighty people Russians of the fu-
ture will be.
But in proportion as they disavow
it by giving literally in this time Of
Russia's extreme need they will
make easier the renewal and extern
sion of an historic friendship.

TO Rectny a BLunder.

afAN IS making much OF the
Lansing-Ishii agreement" in
which the Wilson Administra-
tion recognized Japan's Especial in
terest" in the Far East.
Japan has translated the language
of this agreement" into the Japa-
nese, Chinese and Korean languages
and has changed its meaning by sub
stituting the words paramount"
and "supreme" for especial" thus
leading the people of those three
countries to believe that the United
States recognized Japan's para
mopntcy.
Asa matter of fact, the Lansing
Ishii agreement has no significance
other than as a measure of Wood
row Wilson's folly-folly which the
American people have wisely repu-
dated. :.
By that foolish diplomatic bar
gaining, Mr.. Wilson tried to win the
support of Japan to his ambitious
plans. Like his surrender on the
Shantung issue, it brought him no
gain, but simply fed the arrogance
of the Japanese imperialists. By
persuading the victims of their op-
preston that they are acting with
the approval of the United States,
Japan undermines American pres
tige and strengthens herself in the
Far East.
Guy M. Walker, eminent author
ity on China, has advised President
Harding to repudiate this "agree-
ment." The advice is sound. Whether
the reputation be direct or only by
implication, the Harding Admins
tration can make clear at the COM
ing conference that it will insist
upon Japan respecting its pledged
support of the "open door"

gNOu Push
the Sales Tax
n ENATOR SMOOT has presented
- his sales tax amendment to the
- rayenna hill

The Utah Senator's amendment
provides for a single sales tax to be
levied upon the goods when sold by
the manufacturer. We are not sure
that this is by any means the best
, form of sales taxation. But any
sales tax is better than none, since
it is only by such taxation that we
, can hope to attract money into In
dustrial investment and so make the
wheels of work and wages begin to
go again.
It cannot be too often reiterated
that the sales tax, for this very rea-
son, is the workers friend and not
the workers enemy.
It is not true that the sales tax is
designed to shift the burden Of taxa
ton from the rich to the poor. 1t is
discouraging to hear men-even
men in Congress-repeat that igno-
rant assertion.
All taxation comes from the pro-
duction created by working capital
and working labor. A very large
share of the load falls upon labor.
And this is most true of the load
imposed by surfaces and excess
profits taxes. Labor not only pays
too great a share of those taxes,
but is also made idle by those taxes
discouraging capital investment in
industries that employ labor.
We are confident that a majority
in the Congress really favors the
sales tax and that nothing is lack
ing but the courage to express their
convictions with their votes.
We do not believe that a Con-
gresham who votes for the sales
tax has anything to fear from the
people of his State or district. The
tax will work so well and have such
good results in actual practice that
opposition to it will all die out be-
fore the logic Of accomplished fact.
And anyhow, when thing is the
right thing to do, and a certain bene-
fit to the people, any Congressman
ought to do that thing, regardless
of its fancied or real bad effect upon
, his personal political fortunes.
That's what a good man and a
good American goes to Congress
for-to do his duty by the people he
represents without fear and with a
manly courage to do the right as his
conscience and his intellect give him
to see the right.

Round Up Drunken Drivers
And Speed Mnniacs
By BILL PRICE.

The Police Department can not apply too much
energy to persistent campaign against drunken auto
drivers and reckless speedster and when these public
menaces convicted in the Police Court the sentences
should be the maximum. .-..
When whiskey is driving an automobile, then death
and disaster Turk in the foreground 1t is disagreeable
reading IN the news columns of numerous instances OF
drivers, under the influence Of whiskey, njuring
killing pedestrians coliding with other cars. The
sentences imposed must be enough to give sharp
warning against repettions Persons convicted of this
offence automatically separated from their licenses
drivers by the District Commissioners and the term
OF revokal depends upon the circumstances
An engineer or motorman, indulging in whiskey,
would lose his position and be condemned by the public.
Yet an automobile driver is just much of menace.
He may not be carrying many people behind him,
but he is running amuck among thousands Of pedes-
TRANS who have every reason to believe that he would
not be entrusted with drivers license unless entitled
to it. ..'
And next to drunken drivers the reckless, IRE
sponsble persons who have little respect for law lives
property, and wfuy violate the speed regulations
on all occasions they regard favorable to escape
from arrest. The toll Of life and property taken by
this class is long one. They may become soberly
thoughtful after their recklessness has brought dis
aster but the quicker they made to realize their
errors the sooner will speeding decrease
Parking regulations are necessary and proper, but
it has seemed to many farmnded people that too much
. time has been devoted to pursuing the parking
volator and too little to the speed demon and the
whiskey imbber. The police force is by
large as should be- and it is not possible to assign
many to the traffic squad is desirable but Of the
total assigned the best policy would to be that of
putting the most activity into continuous campaign
against traffic vioators who constantly endanger
ing lives and property. Dragging down few dollars
from business professional who unwittingly
violate parking rules is not quite important
tenaciousy pursuing those deliberately risking their
own and others lives.
Many apparently unpreventable accidents happen
daily where the responsibility is much upon the
pedestrians the driver Those accidents not be
avoided so long "jay-walkng' continues to be one
of the leading industries of the National Capital The
time is getting when the jaywalker will have to
be taught that he must exercise forethough and
