Two main arguments were advanc-
cd by Justice Clarke in favor Of this
action. The first was that unless the
debts are Cancelled the United States
never can hope for payment except in
goods. If the debts are paid in goods
IT would mean the stagnation and
wreckage of American business, he
declared.
The other was that IF America
does not cancel the loans it never will
be able to convince these now friendly
nations that the United States bore its
fair share OF the burden OF war, and
that If the process of collection goes
forward this conviction will deepen
into aversion and enmity ON the part
of every ono OF these most important
nations of the world,

and the death OF twenty seven persons.
When the first women were called for Jury
duty It was generally supposed that it would
never again be possible adequately to pun

WORK FOR PRISONERS

nR. JOHN NJ. BALDY, head of the new
- State Department of Welfare, broadly
imp,ied in recent address that an effort will
be made under his direction to revise the law
which inficts continued idleness on a ma
3ority of prisoners In Pennsylvania jails This
restriction was imposed IL long time ago at
the demand Of labor organizations. which op-
posed what was called Subsidized labor and
argued prOperlj that workers generally
should not have TO compete with the labor Of
convicts.
Conditions have changed somewhat since
then. Undoubtedly there is work that might
be done in jails without harm 70 any one. The
present restrictions are too rigid. Supcrin-
tend ,nts of jails and penitentiaries know
that suffering and mental depression Of
dangerous sort result in prisons from a lack
Of systematic employment.
DR.. Baldy's department will do a good
work If 1t manages to bring this general
question up for fresh discussion.

ANOTHER OF THE SAME KIND

0NE of the reasons for Senator Kenyon 5
~ at.iliation with the farmers bloc may
be found in the attitude toward the farmers
of Charles A. Rawson, whom Governor
Kendall, of Iowa, has appointed as Ken
yon's successor.
Mr.. Rawson says that he intends to CO.
operate with the senatorial forces which
have been actively working for agricultural
relief, for the reason that there can be no
prosperity until farm products can be mar
keted at a profit.
The agricultural discomfort which Senator
Kenyon sought to relieve is 30 great in
Iowa that the Governor did not think it
sxpedient to appoint Il man 10 take Ken
yon's place who would not promise to work
for the same ends.
Of course. Senator Rawson cannot work
20 effectively as Senator Kenyon did. He
has not the legislative experience and he
intends to remain IN the Senate only few
months. But his appointment keeps the
numerical strength OF the farmers bloc
unchanged

OUT At LAST

a MORE sensitive man than Judge Lands
"A would have resigned from the Federal
bench as soon as he accepted the post Of
baseball arbiter. Such man would have
perceived the inpropriety of sitting on the
bench and drawing q large salary for out
side work.
Newspaper criticism left him unmoved,
and he did not seem to be disturbed by the
condemnatory resolutions adopted by the
American Bar Association last summer.
SO far Is appears, the reason that has
led to his resignation at this time is his
discovery that his baseball job takes so
much OF his time that he has none left to
give to his judicial duties. So he throws
up the job that pays him $500 a year and
retains the one that pays him $4,000.
If he had done this IN the first place he
would have escaped all the unpleasant no.
toriety that has come to him. But this
does not seem to have displeased him, for
he has been notoriety seeker for years.
