Russia's Treasures
 On The Open Market

Odessa, April 7.-More of old Rus sia's apparently inexhaustible supply of art treasures are being thrown trade policy combined with the in creasing need of money to buy food. Here, as in Moscow and Petrograd, the shops sell for the most part sec ond hand jewelry, of gold and sil- yer.
 The bitter story of the home wrecking revolution is told in any shop window The majority of these things are going abroad. Among them are collections of plate. paint ings. Swiss watches and Sevres vases which were imported from the western countries in the last 200 or 800 years or taken as loot in old wars, especially wars to the south and to the east
 Hundreds of articles bought in France during it's great revolution and brought to Russia are now find ing their way home again, bought up at low prices by foreigners.
 Loot from Poland has gone back Part of Soviet Russfa's war indemnity to Poland included diamonds requisi- toned from the old Russian rich who in turn may have obtained them from Poland long ago. Secondhand we'd ding rings are plentiful in the shops for women are rarting with this last tie that binds them to their loved ones.
 Dozens of newly opened commits sion shops here display a wealth of old wedding dresses. richly brocaded in gold and silver thread Persian shawls. silk shaTsls of the time of Cafharina the Great bahtez' clothes

 Serious minded women wrote to him graveiy. pointing out the merits point.
 Others feared tine deeadence Of na- tional morals, and still others were concerned over the peril to national liberties if school boards were to be permitted to determine styles.

Skirts Cause
 School Board
 Much Concern


 Lawrence, Kan. April How short a girls skirt must be to be a dis turber of a scholastic peace, and when if ever, it becomes the concern of a school board, are questions expected to be laid before the supreme court of Kansas, following the recent action of District Judge Hugh Means in sus- a demurrer of the Vinland, Kansas, rural school board against his jurisdiction in an action brought on behalf of Alice Hansen and Maude Buchanan, Vinland high school pupils aeinst the board a
 Alice and Maude are 15 years old, and both are farmers daughters Court action was brought by J. E.

Peary Memorial
 One Of Beauty

Washington, April 7.-Unique in its l conception and in its design is the
 memor1al which will be unveiled in Arlington National cemetery tomor- DOW over the final resting place of Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary, dis i coverer of the North Pole. The un- yelling will be attended with appro- priate ceremonies in which President Harding and Secretary Denby have promised to aparticipate.
 The memorial consists of a. huge oblate spheroid of white Maine gran ite, in proportion and in position like the earth, resting on massive gran ite base. On the surface of the gran ite globe are hewn the outlines of the land and water ma Sses of the earth s surface. At it's North Pole, tilted to- ward the north is bronze star, sym bolic of the achievement by which Peary's name will ever be remem- bered in the mind of man.
 The symbolic design of this monu- ment was conceived by Admiral Peary during his last illness and sug- gestions for it were dictated to his wife, herself, an Arctic explorer and traveller of note, less than three weeks before his death-
 On one side of the supporting gran ite block, upon which rests the earth shapen mass, is the latin motto ''In- veniam Viam Aut F'aciam" q will find a way or make one), which was a favorite quotation of the explorer, the other sides, respectively, bear the legends:
 Robert Edwin Peary, Discoverer of North Pole April s, 1909.
 Rear Admiral U. s. N, Civil En- Sineer, Explorer Scientist. 1S56-192O.
 His beloved wife, Josephine Die bitsch, 1S63-"-
 This support, in turn, rests upon a wide base, and the entire memorial is one of the most distinctive among the historic monuments which mark the resting places of the nations honored dead.
 The unvei1ing will be performed by the AdmiraPs daughter, Mrs. Edward Stafford, wilo was Marie Abingdon Peary, and was known during her childhood as the Snow Baby" She l was born nearer the pole than any i other white child, in the far nothern | headquarters of one of the expeditions | of the nineties by which Peary' de- | termined the insularity of Greenland. |

T COAL c

Bituminous coal operators say that they are
willing and anxious to have appointed immediately
a commission to ascertain the facts relating to the
coal trade, and they suggest that on such commits
sion neither operators nor laborers in the coal indus
try be represented. The suggestion is eminently
sound, no matter from what source it comes-and it
did not originate with the coal men.
There is need for getting at the facts in the coal
not in the interest of the operators, and
not in the interest of the miners, but in the interest
of the general public, whose members are entitled
to a supply Of coal, ample and dependable, and at a
fair price. The first step toward insuring that sort
of supply is to ascertain why we have not been get
ting it-why the supply has been variable and un-
certain and the price SO greatly out of proportion to
prices of practically all other commodities. The
people need to i know what are the obstacles to this
satisfactory supply and just price. Then, when the
are found and recognized. perhaps some
effective steps can be taken to remove them.
In the work of collecting this information op-
orators and miners can be of service. But the serv-
ice which they can render most usefuHy to the pub
lie is that of supplying trustworthy information.
The body which receives that information, which
exacts it, if necessary, and which passes upon it,
should not have among its members persons who
from the outset will be actuated by a desire to color
the facts in the interest of those whom they repre-
sent. The coal inquiry commission should be non
non-partisan, and representative only. of
the interest of the public.

THE SAME PRINCIPLE GOVERNS.

he peculiar sacredneSs Which has been sup
posed to attach to the mails is being extended to
freight. Once it appeared to be the sole concern
of. the government that the mails be moved, and
everything else might go to pot. Now We find quite
frequently that there is an assertion of the right of
the public to have its, mails and freights moved.
We. are making progress. Sometime we shall reach
the conclusion that the right Of the public to trans
ssportation extends to its own members as well as to
their letters and freight shipments.
The man who wants to ride from Grand Forks
to Larimore has just as sacred a right to the unim-
ffpeded use Of the conveniences which have been pro-
,,vided for: that purpose as he has to send a letter to
New York-or a carload of wheat to Minneapolis.
The same principle governs al. the way through, and
when we undertake to divide it and classify the
fragments we are splitting hairs and taking a lot of
trouble to no good purpose.

DAYLIGHT SAVING LEGAL.

Moving the clocks forward an hour in the
spring and setting them back in the fall, under the
daylight saving plan, is no longer a national ex-
pedient, but it is in vogue by local choice in a large
number Of cities. In some places the plan has been
adopted locally as a convenience without any legal
action whatever. The New York legislature gave
gthe idea formal. sanction by e~nacting a law authoriz-
ing municipalities to adopt the daylight saving plan
their pleasure, and a very large proportion Of the
%saanicipalities of the state are now operating on
time during the summer months.
81 #a Recent in that state the constitutionality Of
the law was challenged in court and affirmed. The
question arose over TIE service Of legal papers,

HARVEST UNDER WAY.

Harvest in the northwest is we'll under way,
Most Of the rye is cut, and some of it is threshed,
and the wheat harvest is on in most localities Gen
orally speaking, the crop has escaped. any great lam
age from rust. There are a few rather badly infest-
ed spots, but the injury is not general. Occasional
fields show prospects Of a real bumper crop, but
this is not general. The.crop is generally good. and
the really gratifying feature is found in TIE general
distribution of its excellence. There is no large
area in the state this year which has 4 poor crop.
Under ordinary conditions the chief risk now IL

Moreover, hail insurance is general, and, while
that does not repair the injury, it lightens the loss
to the individual. |

There is a good deal to be said-and a good
deal is being said-in favor of the framing of an
industrial code which shall set forth in understand
able form the rights and duties of:those who are en-
gagged in various capacities in industrial work,
whether as employers, employees, or individuals
working independently, and of the general public
which consumes the products of industry Nand pro-
vides the compensation for those engaged in the
work.
There is needed no enunciation. of new princi-,
piles. The old principles are good enough. But
something useful may be done in the way of inter-
preting and applying them. That, human beings
possess certain fundamental rightsiis conceded. In
particular cases it is not always quite clear just
what acts are in the exercise,of> our own rights, and
what are in contravention of the rights of others.
IA wisely drawn industrial code would assist in
clearing the air.
But no codi6cation of laws, and,no restatement
of principles will cure the evils from which we suf-
fer: We need. imperatively, first, the cultivation
of the spirit which, while it impels,the individual to
defend his own rights against aggression, also makes
him not only exact but generous in according his
tfull rights to every other man: tits the overem-
Iphasizing of our own rights and the disregard of the
rights of others which lies at the bottom of most of
!our industrial difficulties.
The right attitude toward our neighbors is not
to be induced by the formulation of a code. It can
be induced only by the development of sound char
Facter, and the development of that character is the
greatest task of humanity.
Our first concern, in the permanent shaping of
our industrial relations, must be this character de-
velopment, and our second the adoption of methods
which will restrain effectively those'w lag behind
in the development process and insist on substitute
ing for the rule of right and reason the rule IF force,
directed by their own selfish desires. In the rela-
lively simple task of dealing with the immediate
possession of tangible property we rely first on the
Willingness of each person to leave each other per-
son in quiet possession of that which is his. Most
people are governed by that sentiment. If it were
not so all our Legislation on property rights would
be futile. The commandment "Thou shalt not
steal" would have little foFce if the desire to steal
were common. But, while the principle has long
been formulated and is well understood, there are
still those who will steal. For them, and for the
..protection of others, we must have, other means than
ia code or a statute. For these we have peace Off
GERS, and jails, and penitentiaries, with all the force
;of state and nation behind them.
In the last analysis we must follow a similar
course in our industrial relations. We must rely on
the general desire of people to be fair and decent,
and when the refusal of the few to be so threatens
1.-THE peace or safety of others, society must be pre-.
pared to deal with those offenders, with a strong
hand, and an armed one, if need be.
