COUN CIL D STOP
 NEW WACONY ARDS

Protests of a number of citizens against the arection or removal of wagonyards on the east side of the business district resulted in the city council last night adopting a resolu- tion prohibiting the erection, repair oi removal of any building within the city limits without the securing of a permit from the mayor The resolu- tion was unanimously adopted. It is understood that a comprehensive building ordinance applying to the en- tire city will be prepared and intro- duced at an early date.

 Further discussion was had on the matter of purchasing additional fire equipment, but nothing definite was done.

THE A QUESTION.

The sudden flurries in Washington i'll connec-
ton with the Four-Power treaty ougl: not to be
permitted to detract public attention from the real
issue. This has nothing to do with the Republican
bungling which left the president in = most nor IT,
flying position. Nor has it anv,'iiny to do will, the
antics OF senators who see spooks around every in
ternatlonal corner. What TIE country has to Xix its
eyes upon is the Instrument OF peace devised by the
Washington conference. The agreement to remove
the Pacific from the sphere OF controversy for the
next ten years goes hand in land with the agree
ment on a ter-ycar program OF naval rctrencl;nerlt.
One depends upon the other. and the peoples OF all
the countries concerned want both. &
Compared witt. the intent and sure effect OF The
treaty, all the sound and fury over un,,yportant de-
tails are ridicuicusiv petty. What docs it matter
whether the words ";.su'.r lon,inions'' do or do not
mean Japan proper? Can even a senatorial
mind, accustomed to imagining vain things, picture
to itself the possibility of any attack by any country
upon japan within the next ten years while France
least to protest and warn against it? Fears on this
score are fantastically unreal. So is the apprehcn-
sion that, somehow, the president would be dragged
into a War to defend Japan without consent Of com
gress. Solemn senators are drawing up ~''reserva-
tons" to protect the nation from the inconceiyal,le
and to provide against what can never happen. So
persistent is the mental arrangement engendered
in the opponents of the League of Nations.
It's to be hoped that all this nln:nmerv will dis
appear with the holidays and that senator's will re-
turn to Washington able to see clear ard think
straight. The sound instinct OF the country accept
ed the Washington agreements as All honest eff.
to assure peace and bring about ecoro7,y. Not.
has occurred to change that main question. TIL.
who try to befog i will soon hear from Tie people
something to their disadyantage-New York

case. he referred to the fact, established beyond all

Undoubtedly MI. Kenyon is right. There is no
more chance that any considerable number Of Re

number OF Democrats would vote for the unseating
Of a Democratic senator under similar circumstan-

party advantage. And such decisions are made. not
by men without character, but BY men who, in all

ADVICE TO AND FROM MR.. DAUGHERrY

ISL LII d AHTiSIIldS, message WHICH ne undoubtedly
intended to be inspirational Attorney General
Daugherty says that during his term of office thus
far he has received a great deal of advice. most of
which Is bad. Possibly Mr.. Daugherty may have
acted on some OF this advice and there is room for
suspicion that he may have passed some of it on TO
the president. Possibly it was in accordance with
Some Of this bad counsel that he authorized the trip
to Eugene II some months ago from the pen
.it%entiary at Atlanta to Washington which journey
was taken by Mr.. Dcbs unguarded and unattended.
There was no reason to suppose in that case
that Debs would not make the trip as directed and
report at the penitentiary on time. He WAS not
likely to run away, nor was it to be expected that
he would commit further violations OF the law dur
ing his brief period of liberty, but the course pur-
sued by the attorney general in authorizing this
journey set this particular man apart from other
criminals and gave a measure of excuse 10 those
who had insisted all along that Debs was a political
prisoner, being prosecuted for his political views
and for nothing else. If it had been necessary for
Debs to visit Washington, this misinterpretation OF
the position ot the government would have been
avoided by having even the most obscure of guards
accompany him SO that he would have been at least
eonstructiyely in custody at all times. This action
by Mr; paugherty may have been due to bad ad-
vice which he had received. If so. he has been as
sociating with evil counsclors and should get into
better company at the FIRST opportunity.
Presumably, Mr.. Daugherty recommended to
the president the Communication Of Debs' sentence
which has now been made. If such advice was
given IL was bad advice. Il may have originated
with one attorney general or may merely have been
passed On by him to his superior. In any case, the
working out sof the incident was unfortunate and
the thing has occurred which was inevitable name
misguided people and there is to BE 4 revival 81
the baseless theory that he il a political 4nartyr.
The communication Of Debs, sentence ought not
to have been authorized while the agitation was In
