The Separate Peace.

As every one knows. the treaty Of
peace between the United States and
Germany is the shortest document
which has ever closed q great war.
With "the separate peace" the
United States does nothing else but
look after her own interests with
out in any way infringing upon the
rights of others.
All those foreign governments
which still hope to play their polit-
ical game with the support Of the
United States should think about the
document which has just passed the
Senate in Washington. and should
modify their plans in accordance. in
order not to prolong difficult stu
ations uselessly.
The only interest which the United
States can feel for Europe today
is an economic and commercial in
terest. That Is the reason why the
United States does not refuse to in
terest herself in the matter Of the
German reparations. but retains full
freedom of action. The United States
will eventually find a way Of settling
the thorny problem by bringing about
a rapid liquidation, which will cause
the normal re-establishment Of eco
nomic relations. without having any
one nation hold a monopoly over the
economics of Europe.-Il Bollettino

Autumn Comes.

With lowering sky and dropping
thermometer, autumn comes to the
District at last, a. bit late. but truly
better late than never. Real fall
weather is something which no COM
munity in this latitude can afford to
do without. 1t acts as a sort of buffer
for the winter, making the readjust-
ment from warmth to cold easy for the
human constitution.
Now comes-unless portents fail

cast sky, when greatcoats feel good,
when sweaters are in demand, when
fireplaces come into their own again,
when winter comes on apace. There
is something snappy in the air, some.
thing that makes person like to take
deep breaths as he walks. The dogs
run faster than ever, children are
flushed Of face as they play.
Fall Is test Of health. He who
cannot enjoy real autumn weather
either is not dressing warm enough
or he is a sick man. If the former

he starts getting himself into shape
the sooner will he be able to enjoy

been discovered in the course Of a spe.
cial Investigation. Subpoenas have
been issued for these enterprising
ladies, and the process servers have re-
ported that in many cases they could
not be located at the addresses given
on the registration rolls. This is dis
tressing to those who have for years
worked for the principle Of woman suf-
frage. But there is no ground for real
disturbance on the score Of the fitness
Of women to enjoy the vote. They are
only doing in New York what the men
have done for years. It would be too
much to expect all the women Of the
big city to be 100 per cent politically
pure in the face of the horrible ex-
ample that has been offered them in
the past by male voters. The hope is
that there will be no squeamishness
about prosecuting. The woman who
sells her vote or repeats should be as
severely dealt with by the law as the
man. The women themselves, who
have through their long devotion to
the cause Of suffrage secured this
great right Of the ballot for their sex,
will be most insistent upon full penal
ties for every fraudulent voter.

A Man Who Changed His Mind.

AS proof that some men sometimes
change their opinions. here's a bit of
news from the University of Wiscon-
sim Twenty years ago f. A. Ross,
professor of sociology of that insti-
tuition, coined the phrase race sui
eide" In great alarm over the decrease
in the size of American families.
Theodore Roosevelt adopted the ex-
preston and made it common. But
Prof. Ross has changed his mind. He
says now that IAN increased birth rate
is accompanied without exception by
an increased death rate" and that the
population of the United States is
increasing rapidly because Of a re-
duction in the death rate. rather than
any increase in the birth. Twenty
years ago." he said, when I coined
that grossly misused phrase race sui
cide.' believed in large families; to-

The Politician,

Mr.. Lloyd George takes up the cud-
gels for the politician. He thinks q
good politician a rarer bird than a
statesman. He has met many Of both,
and speaks from knowledge and ex-
perience.
It may be said that Mr.. George is
championing his own kind, and maybe
he is. In some quarters he is rated as
the best politician England has known
in many years. Certainly he has
been one Of the most successful. Has
she ever known q better? The man
who has kept his head above water in
the high seas that have been running
for nearly half a dozen years, and who
is still going strong, has many claims
upon applause.
Our own Thomas B. Reed used to
strike this note. He, too, thought a
good politician a rare bird, and rated
him above the statesman. His descrip-
ton Of statesman, as politician
who is dead, has long done duty in
in bantering mood, that the people
sent statesmen to the Senate, but
when they found a good politician
they sent him to the House and kept
him there.
Not only in England and America,
but everywhere, the term politician
has come to connote, not as it should,
a student of government applying his
knowledge and skill to public affairs,
but too often, and often unjustly, q
crafty, shifty, tricky and unscrupulous
man, sent on small and selfish ends,
and needing constant watching and
frequent circumvention. The term is
not infrequently used as one Of patron.
age, and even reproach.
And yet where should we be but for
the politicians of the right sort, who
study their game with pride and relish,
and play it much oftener than not ia
the public's great advantage?

nowhere. The accomplishment would
be that Of a superman.
But Mr.. Harding has no such aim.
He does not set up for a superman, or
a mystery man, but Just a normal
man. using the intelligence Of his
class, and employing only the every
day means at hand in the execution
Of a great public trust.
The conference has not been called
for the purpose or in the hope Of dis
arming the nations. The President
does not propose disarmament to his
own people. He would not do such q
thing. They would not sit in a confer
ence having such an object in view.
The American people are practicable
people, and not mere dreamers of
dreams.

Bryan had made in a speech at Bos.

The Murder of Hara.

Assassination Of Premier Hara Of
Japan is doubly shocking. It is a most
wanton crime in itself, and 1t is COM
mitted at a time when the grievous
loss inflicted upon that country will be
sorely felt. For Premier Hara's serv-
ices to japan were most urgently
needed at present. His wise statesman
ship, his firm yet temperate leadership p
kept a balance in Japanese affairs.
He was chiefly instrumental In bring
ing about Japanese participation in
the armament conference in circum-
stances to promise a maximum Of re-
suits for the worlds good. He was
gifted with a breadth Of vision. He
commended the confidence Of his own
people. He was held in the highest
esteem by foreign countries.
No explanation has been given Of
the crime. The youth who stabbed the
premier to death is described in the
dispatches as demented. That would
seem to be a logical conclusion for his
act. For only the demented can con-
ceive the assassination Of public off,
cials as in any wise warranted or as
likely to advance any cause or cure
any evil. Assassination is the act of
an unbalanced person. There is moth
ing in the known records OF Takashi
Hara to warrant the thought that his
removal by violence could be in any
sense warranted, If ever murder could
be justified.
The hope of those who look for sue
cess at the arms conference Is that
this tragedy at Toxic will not in any
way affect the course Of negotiations
and deliberations toward a pacific
agreement. Japan's policies at the
conference have undoubtedly been
axed, and there Is no reason to look
for a change. The deepest sympathy
for the Japanese government and
people Is felt by all Americans in this
hour of national bereavement.

The Woodrow Wilson Democracy.

Hamilton Holt, president Of the
Woodrow Wilson Democracy. makes
this announcement from New York:
The Woodrow Wilson Democracy.
by it's executive committees. takes
this occasion to state publicly that it
regards the disarmament conference
as an event of great Importance, and
as such that this organization will
lend whole-hearted support to the ef-
forts of the administration to bring
about the Limitation of armament by
international agreement. We would
seriously question the patriotism and
loyalty of any individual or group
make more difficult the constructive
efforts Of the American conferees. We
believe that this conference is con-
structive in purpose; that 1t was called
together not only to find a solution Of
! the armament problem, but to bring
about international harmony and &C.
cord.
An excellent expression, rejecting
great credit on the organization stand
ing for it, and should be helpful in
bringing to successful conclusion the
work the conference will have in hand.
Then comes this request:
The league of nations is organized
for the same general purpose, and we
| shall expect the President and the
Secretary OF State to rebuke any
effort to belittle or discredit the
league of nations or make more difh-
cult its program for reducing arma-
ments.
The league of nations need not be
mentioned at the conference. The
Senate would not have it In the form
negotiated at Paris, Mr.. Wilson would
not have it in the form amended by
the Senate, and the country, at 1.-The
solemn referendum In November last,
would not have it in any form. SO why
| should the league be brought before
the conference either in praise or
blame? It is defunct issue.
Maybe Mr.. Bryan Of Florida and
former Senator Bailey Of TEXAS, both
Of whom are champions Of Jeffer-
sonianism, will be interested in this
disclosure of the existence Of new
|brand Of democracy. But as it Is head
ed by a former republican, they may
not fear it overmuch In the fight that
is organizing to bring back the old
brand to the glimpses Of the moon in
time for use in the fateful year OF

European Debts Again.

Another United States senator has

T. Robinson. He af1rms that certain
European governments are trying to
find ways and means by which they
will not have to pay the debts which
they owe the United States. There
exists a sentiment in these countries
that America must cancel these debts.
France Is one of the countries which
want this cancellation. France owes
America several millions Of dollars.
Should this be granted to France, her
militarism would know no bounds.
She would be able to keep up her
army.
There is one important reason why
America cannot cancel these debts

Making a Capital.

In his inspiring address at the City
Club Secretary Weeks declared for 1,
liberal, even little bit extravagant'
policy in the maintenance Of the Capt.
tai city. He spoke from the point of
view Of one who has served here as
legislator for many years and who
has seen numerous changes and much
wholesome development. He spoke as
an official resident, not as q business
man or a transient without interest in
Washington. He spoke as one Of the
great number of Americans who re.
gard Washington as their capital.
In the nineteen years of Mr.. Weeks
service here much Has been done in
the way of making it, as he said yes.
torday it should be. ''the most peauti.
ful city in the world" Much, how
ever. remains to be done. Projects
under way have been somewhat
checked and others have been post.
poned. on the score Of lack Of funds.
Whatever of impatience is felt with
the tardiness with which these tasks
are assumed and pressed to completion
IL tsmpered by the reflection that capi.
tal-making is a slow process, and that
save for the foundations the national
city as it exists today is virtually the
work Of less than fifty years.
Secretary Weeks used the word lex
travagant" In his address. The coth.
try, as he said, can well afford to spend
literally in this work of making a
capital. For here assemble the guests
of the nation, those who cross the seas
for consultation, or for observation.
Their Impressions of America are
largely determined by what they see
at the political center. In former
times those impressions were decidedly
unfavorable, for Washington, in its
state Of neglect, was a shabby, made
quate excuse for federal city. 1t is
to be hoped that all of the distinguished
visitors Of today will have read of the
early situation here in the works of
travellers, to be able thus to realize the
remarkable changes that have been
effected in few decades.
If the Washington of 1910 is as far
advanced in point Of public works
over that Of today as it is now beyond
the stage when Secretary Weeks first
came here nineteen years ago. the
capital will indeed be q national Gen.
ter Of great distinction. The projects
now under way and in immediate con-
temptation may consume that length
of time. Meanwhile other works will
have been proposed. For Washington
will never be finished. It should be as
sured, however. that in the next nine
teen years the government will at least
give itself complete outfit of public
buildings for the proper transaction Of
its business without any compromise
or makeshift or danger to its records.
A comprehensive building program
should be Immediately undertaken as
the most urgent need Of the govern
