Babes transforming.

Babe Ruth is bound to keep in the
limelight. Accustomed to the bright
illumination that falls upon the star
performer, and perhaps somewhat
chagrined by his failure to cut big
figure in the world series. the home
run hitter has gone transforming in
defiance Of positive rule Of organized
base ball which forbids tho members
of the contending teams In that series
from playing in exhibition games after
the season closes. Judge Lands, the
supreme grand wizard" Of the sport,
has warned tho lons-distancs c1outer
that If he persists in his course he will
suffer the extreme penalty Of base ball
law, and the "bambino" retorts with a
gesture that is extremely disrespectful
to the ermine, deneunees the rule in
question as unjust and declares that
he and his associates Of the New York
American team will &c right on max

Ruth is breaking may be unjust. It is
perhaps true, as he asserts, that there
is no reason for barring members Of

Honors for the Unknown Dead.

An extraordinary honor has been
conferred upon the American partici-
pants in the great war in the bestowal
of the Victoria Cross by King George
upon the unknown soldier whose body
is to be brought here and laid at rest
at Arlington on Armistice day. This is
the first time in history that this
decoration has ever been conferred
upon any except a British subject.
The gift is inspired by the ceremony
at Westminster yesterday, when Gen.
Pershing, in the name of the people
of the United States. laid the congress
sional medal Of honor upon the tomb
of the unknown British soldier in the
historic abbey.
King Georges cablegram to Presi-
dent Harding, giving thanks for the
honor bestowed by America upon Eng
lands hero, expressed the hope that
the Victoria Cross would be accepted
in order that Britain may thus most
fittingly pay tribute at the tomb which
symbolizes every deed of conspicuous
valor performed by the men of your
great fighting forces
France and England have entombed
bodies Of unknown soldiers with pro-
found ceremonies. and this country is
about to do the same. Under the Arch
Of Triumph in Paris and in West
minister Abbey lie these bones repre-
senting the thousands Of nameless
dead, men whose identity was obliter-
ated in the holocaust. They may have
been of the humblest station of life. or
of the most distinguished. No trace
will ever be had to identify them. But
those graves are more impressive as
they are than though they bore names
upon them They mean that the man
hood of France and of England. re-
gardless of position. responded in 1914
and later to the call to save the lives
of those nations, just as in 1917 the
men of America answered the sum-
mons.
These exchanges of honor are appro-
pirate and helpful. Posterity will view
them as physical tokens Of the unity
binding the allies in the great war
and of the generous spirit of mutual
appreciation in the hour of victory.
The war was won by the men whose
remains now rest in Paris and in Lon
don and soon to rest at Arlington and
by their comrades fighting together for
a common cause.

Gov. Sproul and the Senate.

In the case Of the Knox vacancy in
the Senate Gov. Sproul has exploded
two prophecies.
One was that he would resign the
Office of governor and accept from his
successor appointment to the Senate.
The other was that he would remain
in the governorship, but appoint to
the senatorship a man who would not
stand for election next year for full
term. thus leaving the field clear for
the governor himself.
Neither prophecy recognized the
fact that Gov. Sproul is a very clever
politician-far too clever to have taken
either of the steps mentioned.
The Senate is probably his objective.
He is Of senatorial size, and the men,
ton Of his name last year for the
presidency made him known to the
country at large.
But to be effective as senator he
must reach goal by means above criti-
cisn1. To trade for the place through
an associate official. or by a bargain
Of any sort with a man indebted to
him for office, would impair his useful
ness in the Senate.
The governor put the case IN a few
words. He said that as the people Of
Pennsylvania had elected him COVER
nor they were expecting him to serve
them in that office, and he would not
disappoint them.
In that sign and spirit he should
continue to conquer. Successful serv-
Ice in the governorship will recon-
mend him strongly for the Senate

promising and appropriate he offers
for a seat in that body.

ticipation as officials in public affairs.
Good for President Harding! He has
set an example worthy Of copy. and
which is being widely copied. 1t may
prove indeed among the most impor-
tant of his public services. "Open
covenants openly arrived at" will be-
come more than a phrase if the press
is permitted to share more generously
the confidence Of those responsible for
public business while they are engaged
in putting it into shape. The former
editor of the Marion Star is proving
of great assistance to the President
of the United States.

Omen Conference Sessions.

1t is encouraging to find that the
American delegation to the disarma-
ment conference will stand for the
largest possible amount of publicity
and for the opening to the press OF
all full sessions of the conference.
There is a matter of substance versus
form involved here. and it is more
important that the substance be OBJ
tained than the form. Open sessions
will not count for much If all the
agreements are reached In private
preliminary meetings. The spirit OF
the delegations is thus more signif1-
cant than their official pronounce
ments. and it is a hopeful sign that
the American delegates evidence a
sincere desire to have genuine pub
licity.
What is essential is that the pub
lie shall know of important proposals
in time for popular sentiment to
form and express itself, in this and
other countries, before final decisions
are made. If this is arranged for, It
may have a far-reaching and helpful
effect upon the deliberations-Balti-
more Sun independent democratic).

The Press and "Open Covenants. y

that President Obregon seems to have

Prevent the Strike.

If the five brotherhoodS Of railway
workers carry their program to the
point Of actually going on strike the
odds seem to be against their coming
out of the struggle victorious. The
brotherhoods are reported to have a
strike fund of about s2,O0O,00O. This
may sound like large sum, but if
400. 900 men so on strike it will amount
only to IS per man, less than one days
leverage wage-a mighty thin reserve
with which to face the prospect of a
jobless winter.
support as the threatened one is
bound to be it is not to be expected
that men now out of work and others
who would be thrown out of work as a
employment with the railways. 1t is
true. of course, that enough skilled
men could not be found at once to
take the place of the strikers, but
enough skilled men would be found to
form the nucleus of a force sufficient
to keep absolutely necessary trains in
operation. In the strike order the
brotherhood chiefs warn their follow
ers against any resort to violence. And
it is well that they should do this, for
if nothing else is assured it is certain
that men willing to operate trains
would be afforded ample protection.
The duty to prevent lawlessness rests
first with the states. but the federal
government has warrant to step in,
not only to protect mail trains but to
prevent unlawful interference with in
terstate commerce. That precedent
was established in the strike of 1894.
and it already has been made evident
that strike now would find the pres.
ent administration disposed to use all
it's powers for the protection of the
public.
Ordering the strike on the eve Of
winter. the brotherhoods undoubtedly
counted on the fear of cold and hunger
to help their cause. But these factors
are more apt to operate against them
than in their favor, unless the in
dividual workers have private re-
sources which will relieve them from
dependence on their strike fund. The
hasty survey already made of stocks
of coal and provisions at the centers
of population is encouraging. from the
standpoint of the public. Even II
transportation Of commodities was
wholly suspended it would be weeks.
probably months, before there would
be actual danger of freezing or starva-
ton. And it is not within the power
Of the brotherhoods to bring about
complete suspension of transportation.
Putting aside the possibility Of keep
ing a considerable number Of trains in
operation. motor transportation can be
made available on an immense scale.
and the government has hundreds OF
ships lying idle which could be made
to help solve the problem Of keeping
the cities supplied with fuel and coal.
The railroad men would do we'll to
bear in mind the resourcefulness this
country displayed when called upon
to meet the emergency Of war. They
ought to realize that the menace Of
cold and hunger would provide an
even greater spur. and that ways now
unthousht of would be found to trans
port the necessities Of life.
The nations problem Of today Is
not, however. to defeat the strike, but
to avert it. The strike must neither be
won nor lost. 1t must be prevented.

volved is whether Ruth is greater than
the law. Judge Lands is decidedly Of
a negative opinion. In his position he
is supported by the owners of the New

A Law.Enforcing Police Force.

The Capital city needs and deserves
a police force which is adequate in
numbers to protect the extensive Dis
trict areas; which is SO skillfully util-
lied. placed and handled. without un-
due waste of force in special national
assignments, as to attain a maximum
of efficiency. and which is so controlled
by those who determine its spirit. it's
morale, as to function to the maxi
mum as an effective law-enfOrcing fac
tor in the municipal machinery. and
not to operate to protect law-breakers,
whether bootleggers, burglars. hold
up or confidence men or murderers.
Criticism, however severe, and in.
vestigation. however drastic. which in
moti"e is devoid of personal malice,
as%t which by exposing inadequacy or
inefficiency or corruption in the force
lead to correction in the public inter-
est, should be welcomed by the COM
munity and by the police force itself.
For the result will inevitably be to
strengthen the force, in numbers, if
necessary, and in skillful assignment
of policemen to points where service
is most needed; and. most important
Of all. to encourage and vigorously
sustain the Commissioners and super
intendent of police in their determine
ton that the Washington police force
shall be clean as we'll as efficient. and
shall not. as in Chicago and in some
other large cities. be deservedly de-
nounced as in large measure the ac-
completes, the tools, the corrupt acces-
sories of any class of the law-breakers
whom they are sworn to detect and
arrest.
1t will operate in the community in
terest if the whole machinery of law
enforcement is overhauled and put in
effective working order. from police
force through prosecuting attorney to
the criminal courts. Delaying conges
tions anywhere along the line should
be disclosed and relieved. If the dis
trict attorney has not sufficient force
to enable that official to carry out a
determinatio to prosecute thorough
ly. vigorously and impartially in the
public interest that deficiency should
be corrected. We know that the Su-
preme Court of the District is under
manned and is unable to prevent ac-
cumulation and congestion of cases on
its calendars. The additional judges
which are needed should be granted.
