Soviets and the Disarmament Conference.

Soviet Russia announces that having re-
ceived no invitation to be represented at the
Washington conference, it will not be bound
by any action taken by the delegates to that
gathering. This will probably be given its due
weight, merely another effort on the part of
Lenine and Trotsky to direct attention to them
selves. Soviet Russia presents the anomalous
appearance OF nation protesting to be devoted
to the objects of universal peace, yet maintain
ing under arms force that exceeds that of
any other nation on earth, The United States
army has Just been cut down by congress to
10000 men; Russias red army numbers $780,
900 well-equipped and well-disciplned soldiers.
1t comprises the best clad and best fed portion
OF the suffering population of that unhappy
land
The soviet government is accepted by other
nations at its valuation. 1t is essentially
communistic. and as such opposed to the prin-
eiples on which any civilized government is
erected Lenine has very frankly declared for
the launching of world revolution, and pro-
fesses only to await the auspcious moment To
invite him to sit with representatives OF govern
ments he proposes to destroy is to give standing
to conception of communism, with all its
political and economic corollaries, incapable OF
compromise with the conceptions of law that
govern modern civilization, or the economic
foundations on which arc based actual world
welfare.
Therefore, the word from Soviet Russia may
be accepted as notice that it will continue to the
end menace TO civilization as it exists. Its
challenge will be accepted. and under whatever
guise it comes It will be met. Unrcason has
never long made headway in the world, and
bolshevism need not be dreaded where justice
prevails

Budget-Saving a Public Benefit.

| The New York Times reads sharp and
| perhaps deserved lecture to the heads OF de-
| partments OF the government for not having
! madc reductions in estimates now achieved by
the budget director. This failure, it assumes, is
| a confession that estimates purpt sely or care
| lessly were made too high, and that in absence
| OF the oversight now effective, would have added
| to the general waste about which so much COM
| plant is made
Conceding everything the Times says on
the subject, its implication that the fault at
taches solely to the present administration is
scarcely warranted. Mr. Harding went into
office on platform that promised economy in
expenditures, and the activity of General Dawes
affords support to the belief that the pledge is
to be redeemed All can not be achieved at
once, nor is it humanity possibly to retrieve in
less than five months all that was lost through
eight years of democratic mal-admnstration
So far as the budget system is concerned it
was seriously proposed when Mr.. Taft was in
the White House, but was abandoned imme-
dately on the accession of Mr.. Wilson. Now and
then it was brought forward as the topic for
tentative discussion, yet not until 1920, with
republican majority in both house and senate,
did it get attention. One of the last acts of
Woodrow Wilson was to veto budget bill,
because it interfered with the presidents pre-
rogative of removing his own appointees Eight
years was not sufficient time for the democrats
to get around to regulating governmental ex-
penditures on reasonable basis.
As to the surplus, when William Gibbs Nc
Adoo went into the Treasury department, he
this was turned into a deficit of s5500000O0
Long before the war came current expenses of
the government were paid on borrowed money
and the enormous pyramid of treasury GER
tifcates, now hanging over the land, is a heri-
tage from the democratic administration, re-
minder of the economy it talked about and did
not practice. This will be cared for in time,
but it should never be forgotten.

Railways and Trade Revival.

What congress may do with the bills sane
tonng the settlement OF the claims of the
railroads by payment of $500,000,00O will excite
much interest. The railroads have asserted that
more than $l,25 900 was still due them as
compensation for the use of the lines under
government control. 1t has been admitted by
the government that it still owed S50O,0OO,OOO
under its guarantee to spend as much money
for maintenance as during the prewar period,
plus the increased material and labor costs A
very vague claim OF labor ineffciency. rejected
, by the president was used by the railroads to
hold the government for an amount more than
double what is offered.
Under the proposed arrangement. the roads
will waive all their demands for additional COM
pensation and accept the treasury offer of $780,
100000 as payment in full. further complica-
ton has been the fact that this amount is
matched by the government claim for $780,
100000 and up for new trackage and equipment
which it had added to the systems while under
government control. If the proposed settle
mcnt goes through the railroads will receive
$500000000 in cash from the treasury of the
United States and will meet their own obliga-
ton to the government by depositing an equal,
or perhaps larger amount in railroad equipment
bonds with the treasury
This transaction amounts to loan to the
railroads, since they get the cash and the nation
gets the bonds. Though the transportation in
dustry may have brought its serious financial
plight on itself, yet on account of the effect of
its condition on the whole industrial life of the
country, the government will be justified in
aiding towards railroad rehabilitation. As soon
as the roads receive this money they are ex-
pected to place large orders for equipment and
materials. This ought to stimulate the iron and
steel industries and lessen unemployment. Many
business leaders regard the improvement of the
buying power of the railroads as the most hope
full plan for the revival of trade.
The railroads guilty of many faults;
their rates are too high and their service is often
poor, but all this does not warrant an unreason-
ing hate on the part of the public. 1t is mat
ter of national Importance that full facilities
for transportation be assured. A breakdown
in the movement of farm products and manu-
iaetured goods would further delay the recovery
from general depression and njure the interest
of all. If, having been given all they ask the
managers still fall short of the requirements,
public ownership will gain the endorsement of
many who heretofore have steadfastly defended
private operation. The railroads are on trial
and. to date, the public is not satisfied with
rates or service given by private operation,
which promised to do wonders once the hand
of the government was removed.

DE Ducks Got EN-.

A concession amounting to $l5000000O a
year will be granted to the shippers of the
nation if congress sticks to its intention to cut
the transportation tax in half For this allevia-
tiop farmers will return much thanks for it is
they, and not the consumers of their products,
who pay the freight. There are many charges
of one kind and another as is illustrated by a
story which is now going the rounds
1t concerns sheep raiser of New Mexico
who shipped two loads of common sheep to
market and found that when sold they lacked
few dollars of paying the freight and charges.
The village banker met him on his return with
the suggestion that, having sold the sheep, it
was good time to clear up his debt
Mick, what in the world did you do with
the money from your sheep?" the banker asked
"De ducks got then," was the reply.
See here, ducks don't eat sheep; I know
that much about farming"
Pm telling you the TRUTH" the sheep man
answered, ode ducks got all my sheep, and
still owe the man who sold them Sl.l5" Pull
ing out greasy account of sales brought back
from the stock yards he read to the banker:
"De duck freight, de duck war tax, de duck
yardage, de duck insurance, de duck feed on
the road, de duck hay at yards, de duck COM
mission.-Oh I'll say de ducks got them"
The Department of Agriculture reports that
prices of meat animals are 40 per cent lower
than year ago, 81 per cent lower than two
years ago and on June IS were 2l.o per cent be-
low the average Of the past 10 years. The level of
prices paid producers of the principal crops is
o5 per cent lower than a year ago and SIS
per cent lower than the 10-year average.
Surely the farmers are entitled to relief from

the freight tax is one way in which congress

ACCIDENTS AND THE PUBLIC

Nearly every week this column

or that some important disease
seems to be on the point of folding

statistical proof is given in terms
Of the item in which health records
are kept-to wit: death rate.
am sure there are those who
agree with the critic that one can
be too damned happy, and there can
be too damned much good news.
1t is well, therefore, to turn on
the tremolo occasionally. The gen.
eral fatal accident rate is now
among the more important causes
of death. So heavy did the tax on
industry from that cause become
that powerful national organiza-
ton was formed--the National Safe
ty council. Thanks to the wonderful
work of this organization, the acci-
dent rate in industries is falling as
rapidly as in the sickness rate or
even faster.
Eut when it comes to public acci-
dents, the rate is rising about
enough to offset.
By public accidents are meant ac-
cidents in the streets and other pub
lie places: accidents that do not oc-
cur in industrial establishments or
along railroads. Many of these ac-
cidents happen to children. The
American Red Cross says 10000
children under IA years of age lose
their lives in the United States each
year.
OF each 1000 deaths of children,
to 8, 1877 are due to accidents. For
ages 10 to IA the proportion is 1T
of each 1000.
In 1917 more deaths among chill
dren were due to accidents than to
epidemic diseases, according to the
Modern Hospital.
We spend considerable money to
save children from contagion, and
yet we are very careless with them
in the streets,
In Cook county, ILL.,, in 1920, 499
children under Is years of age were
killed in accidents.
Automobile accidents are increas-
ing all out of proportion to other |
forms of accidents. OF 1907 fatal |
accidents in Cook county in 1920 |
there were $40 due to automobiles. |
For the three months ending Feb
ruary 2S, 1921, deaths due to that |
cause increased so per cent over the |
rate of the same three months of |
the previous year.

Yet two weeks after the departure OF one
tawdry assemblage of freaks, sharpers and en-

its tents just beyond the city limits and out OF

1t is possible that the people whom the city
council would protect by its prohibition will re-
train from attending these exhibitions, but
scarcely probable. 1t might be thought that the
public would tire Of being gulled by false mar.

A. II. writes: "On my back over

truding mole which I once nearly

Would a mole lead to cancer when
tempered with? What is the rea-
son of such belief?
REPLY.
1t may be good judgment to have
the growth removed by a clean in
cision. Cancers frequently develop
from moles. The opinion is based
upon observations of cancers which
clearly have started in moles. Since
it has been established by many OBJ
servations that repeated irritatiOns
cause cancer, and also that cancers
frequently develop in moles, it is
concluded that moles should not be
irritated.

some cases one or more of these
symptoms are absent. Just now we
