Economic Cooperation in Europe.


Indications Of rapprochement be-
tween France and Germany will be
welcomed by all who do not allow
sentiment to obscure appreciation of
the worlds need for peace and pro-
duction.
automatically and economically, the
problem Is extremely complicated.
Yet there are strong forces working
steadily toward an understanding.
The peace. speaking roughly. has
left France with half a primary eco
nomic interest and Germany with at
least q good part of the other half,
and 1t is for the welfare of both, and,
in fact, Of the world, including Amer
lea, that the parts should be joined.
France having the iron and Germany
coal. each needs the others re-
sources. German pre-war imperial
ism sought to join them by force.
French Imperialism would like to do
the same. But neither ambition is
practicable, though the economic ne
cessity remains.
Certainly the interest of the United
States, Of the American people as a
whole, Is clear. 1t is the restoration
and renewed efficient functioning of
the economic machinery of Europe,
which depends now largely upon the
restoration of central Europe to CO.
operation with western Europe in pro-
duction and trade. If French re-
shall have no restoration of economic
efficiency, but constant urge. through
politics and arms, to bring about the
necessary unification of dismembered
parts.-Chicago Tribune independent

The Law and the Lynchers.
This is from Moultrie, Ga: !:

John Henry Williams. negro slayer
of Lorena Wilkes, twelve-year-old
white girl. was burned at the stake
today by mob after he had been con-
victed of frst-degree murder and SEN
fenced to be hanged July 8. The
prisoner was taken from the officers
as he was being escorted from T.
courtroom and was rushed to the
scene Of his crime. where he was tied
10 the stump Of a tree"
What is to be cited, what is citable,
to excuse this fynching? The victim,
1t is true, had deserved death. He had
committed the most appalling of
crimes, for which the law Of Georgia
prescribes death.
But he had just been convicted under
the law, and the day Of execution-an
early day-set. There had been no
delay about bringing the wretch to
trial Everything had been done reg
ularly, and the processes justified.
And yet the mob would not wait.
1t insisted on instant execution, sub.
stituted itself for the officers of the
law, who would have carried out the
laws decree, and substituted for the
means prescribed by the law means
repugnant to civilization. Where is
the community that would vote to re-
place the rope or the electric chair
with the torch?
Shall we see the perpetrators Of this
crime brought to book? Probably not.
The time was day. No mention Is
made Of masks The members Of the
mob must have been known to all OBJ.
servers. But the lynching spirit is so
strong now, not only in Georgia, but
elsewhere. that those who show it do
SO with feeling and an air Of i'm.
mupity from punishment which should,
but do not, arouse the anxiety Of the
whole country.

now form real farming colony on
about 100000 acres OF land in north

said he had taught honest work to
hundreds of former marauders."
Droll? Villa. the former marauder,
serving as "chief and instructor" of a
colony Of nearly a thousand former
marauders"? Peace and plenty?
Schools, and probably churches?
Well, why not? Take the case Of
our own Jesse James. Primarily, Col.
James was a robber, country banks a
specially. On the side, and very profit
ably on the side, he was a turfman.
He raced under the name Of Mr..
Howard, and raced fairly. His entries
had the confidence Of the racing world.
His horses were never pulled, but al
ways negotiated the distance on the
square. They hoofed it from "eend
to eend." and won whenever possible.
Their owner was welcome at the
meets. and. it was the belief, not un-
known in his real character at some
Of them. He made money with his
ponies: and some Of his admirers
claimed at the time Of his assassina-
tion that his taking of was unneces-
sary; that as highwayman he was
through: that he had robbed his last
bank and had entered on a career of
straight and friendly dealings with the
world.
Now. if Gen. Villa will keep his back
turned on marauding and continue in
his present pursuits the new order in
Mexico will invite the greater conf.
dence. If the marauders are Through"
and the reformers have come to stay
why should not Mexico soon be on her

Mckinley and Harding.

This was most justly and felicitously
said by Vice President Coolidge at
Niles. Ohio, Saturday:
There is that in the present con-
dition of our country which admon-
ishes us to remember William Nc
kinley. He was wiser than his critics.
He was gentler than his friends. He
was firmer than his party. He found
the nation depressed and distraught;
mene He led the people not from
afar off. where his influence could not
be felt but from near at hand. direct
ing their course. but yet with them.
He was tho first to recognize that
the Spanish war had made us a world
power with world responsibilities"
The criticism of Mr.. Mckinley while
he occupied the White House was
pitched in a false key. He was de-
= scribed as victim Of incertitude; as
leaning helplessly and obediently on
strong men; as without policies of
his own.
Time-a score Of yearshas shown
the absurdity Of that appraisement.
He was a strong man who worked
through the agencies Of conferences
dito SOiICcSSlOlS. ne 1lh6O u nave
strong men around him, and profited
from their suggestions. He knew
strength when he met 1t, and valued 1t.
At the start he was not inclined to
the taking over of the Philippines. But
reflection convinced him that the step
was a matter of duty. The United
States had gone to war to free Cuba
from intolerable conditions, and here
on our hands were the Philippines,
where similar conditions had existed,
and would exist again If we withdrew.
AS we could not afford to leave the
islands to their own devices, or turn
them over for a consideration to any
other nation, we decided, under Mr..
Mckinley's leadership, to remain and
take title ourselves. And thus, as the
phrase goes, we became world power.
Mr.. Coolidge congratulated the peo-
pie Of Ohio and the country that man
of the Mckinley mold Is now in the
White House and predicted good re-
suits from his presence there.

Possibly 1t Is with q full apprecia-
tion of the danger Of permitting
Greece to go ahead with Q second tall

posed mediation. Greece insisted upon
the Asia Minor campaign. against al
lied advice. If Greece alone were In
volved the powers might be willing to
let her take her punishment. But the
war in Asia Minor Is fomenting other
troubles. It is giving the bolshevists

Trotsky recently, in public speech,

propaganda in western Europe and
limited that the most promising field

ing significantly to the interests Of the

Just whether there is any connec-
ton between these hints at q cam.
paien in India and the allied move to
check the war in Asia Minor must re-
main for speculation. Probably Greece
will yield to the suggestion as an easy
way out of what has become a diff
cult and dangerous situation for her.

American Women's Wide Range.

One hundred and four young women
will receive their degrees this week
from Radcliffe College at Cambridge,
Mass. In response to inquiries, they
have made known the occupations that
they intend to pursue after gradua-
ton. They have enumerated no less
than twenty-four different lines of
work, which is just about twelve times
as many as would have been indicated
In response to q QUESTIONABLE of this
kind twenty or thirty years ago. And
the difference in range represents a
remarkable widening Of the sphere of
women II modern times. Those 104
young women twenty or thirty years
ago would have followed just about
two lines-teaching and matrimony,
the latter prospective if not assured.
There were practically no other pros
poets even for college graduates a
third Of century ago. Some lectured
and few studied for the professions,
with little hope Of ever gaining recog-
milton. Teaching and matrimony!
Those were about the limits. Now the
Radcliffe graduates indicate not only
teaching. but secretarial work, bust
ness. commercial art, music, medicine,
nursing and laboratory work. Thirty
one per cent Of them intend to be
teachers, the largest percentage. But
only 4 per cent Of them are preparing
for early marriage. This does not
mean that only per cent of them will
marry. Probably many of the re-
mainder will later take husbands, in.
tending to go on with their profes.
sional work. Some of them will thus
combine matrimony and independent
occupation. The mere fact that so
many plan to strike out on their own
courses, probably in most cases as a
matter Of choice rather than neces-
sity, marks the great change that has
come about, a change that has been so
gradual that there is no disturbance
or surprise. Present-day society has
adjusted itself to the presence of
women in all lines Of work. Women
have sat in Congress-one is there
now; women are on the bench; women
are in public administrative offices;
women are in business, in high execu-
tive positions and bearing great re-
sponsibility; women are directing large
commercial institutions; women are
succeeding and highly honored in the
professions. In short, they may say,
mo pent-up Utica contracts our
powers and the whole Of this broad

Secretary Wallace on the Farmers

SSSASS~Ay w Ve>AAW~S Va WAC 4 ~ ACA O.
Henry c. Wallace. Secretary of
Agriculture, has uttered some dis
turbing truths about the present
farm situation in the United States.
What Secretary Wallace has given
public utterance to sounds very much
like the talk which has been brand
ed as "bolshevism" and "red social
ism" here in the northwest.
When the Secretary Of agriculture
alarm; when the farmer himself
says it. it Is "radicalism."
Agriculture is not organized as
is industry" he declares. 1T would
be . fine thing for the farmers-in-
desd for the nat nstionif aEricultuIe sd rn.,e
is that the farmer is getting consid-
cradle less for his products than it
costs to produce them. There
is a large margin between what the
producer gets and what the consumer
pays. This margin is far larger refa.
of it is due to the increased freight
rates, and a part of it is due to in
creased margins charged by every
one along the way"
II these general observations OF
Secretary Wallace are put into con-
that a combination of greedy middle
men, increased freight rates under
the Esch-Cummins law, and farmers
unprotected by organization have
produced a situation ideal for the
profiteer and tragic for the farmer.
the Secretary of Agriculture now
sees what has been patent to the
farmer for the last ten years. What
the nation has to regret Is that Sec
retary Wallace offers no solution
