ERE is a really good editorial;


II Every man has right to enter
i tain q private opinion of his own
equality to other men, but II fol-
lows not that . cardinals cook should
take It upon him to order his master to
prepare his dinner.
Tho cook, however, may say: 81 am
. man as we'll ~ my master; was born
like him In tears, and shall like him die
in anguish, attended by the same COM
mon ceremonies. We both perform the
same animal functions. II the Turks
get possession Of Rome, and I then be-
come cardinal and my master a cook, I
will take him into my service"
This language 10 perfectly reasonable
and Just, but, while waiting for the
Grand Turk TO get possession Of Rome,
the cook 10 bound TO do his duty, or ali
human society Is subverted.
1t would be great thing for
the human race if all men of Boil
shevistic inclinations would absorb
this idea.
1t was written by. a man named
Jean Francois Marie Arouet, who
died in the year 1878, and who
wrote under the name Of Voltaire.

Turning Virginia Bust
ness to WashiylgtOn
BY BILL PRICE.

Another link in the chain that is bringing Wash
ingon into closer touch with the people, business and
products of that portion of Virginia lying along the
Potomac, will be the operation of the steamer
MAJESTIC by company of Washington business
men familiar with the field which the steamer will
touch The steamer, now being fitted for its duties
will engage not only in freight but passenger service
and Its managers expect to make traffic arrange
ments with other steamship lines and with rail
roads The first trip will probably be about April l.
This new river service, together with trucks
operating between the Northern Neck of Virginia
and Washington ought to aid materially in develop
ing most satisfactory trade relations between Wash
ington and desirable portion of the mother State
of the nation. The prospects all the brighter
because the stockholders of the new company are
acquainted with the people and the needs of the
territory to be served and believe that Washington
is the logical city to supply this territory and to
use the products to be brought from it.
The policy will be to put freight rates the
lowest possible basis an encouragement to Vir-
ginians to ship their products here and to Wash
ingonians to sell to their neghbors along the lower
Potomac. Wholesale dealers of this city have
promised to send statesmen into the new territory,
and retail houses will not fail to look out for their
interests by offering attractive bargains to the Vir
ginians who will turn this way for their shopping
Water transportation between Washington and
Potomac river ports has been greatly restricted since
the war-to the detriment of this city. Baltimore
business men have been alert, though and have left
nothing undone to divert this river business to that
city.
The Baltimore Chamber of Commerce some time
ago arose masse in protest against the threat OF
the Pennsylvania railroad to remove their bay and
river service. It would have meant the loss Of
hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to that
city.
All the people of Washington will benefit by sup
porting every movement that means quick and
friendly touch with Virginia and Maryland territory
which has heretofore felt itself dependent Balti-
more in business dealings The steamers and trucks
that come here loaded with foodstuffs and farm
products will return loaded with agricultural inn
pements, seeds, groceries, clothing, dry goods, build
ing material ETC.. purchased in this city. Improved
transportation, at moderate rates, will bring here
thousands of people who not now acquainted
with the splendid shopping facilities they will enjoy

- the bonus.
The big contributors to the cam
paign funds, who were the big
profiteers, do not want to pay a
bonus to the soldiers.
The G.. o. P. Congressional
Campaign Committee recently
dunned these large givers of for
mer years for contributions for
next falls campaign.
Hundreds replied, declining to
give and using the proposed Boz
nus as an excuse.
They wanted the war and they
projected us into the war.
They wanted to make money
out Of the war, and they made
money-big money, easy money,
5000 new millionaires-out of
the war.
But when it comes to some
slight compensation to the men
who WON the war, won it by
risking their LIVES, they do not
want to give that compensation,
because part of it would come out
Of their pockets through taxa
ton.
The plain people who do not
profiteer are willing to pay the
soldiers, but the big contributors
to the Republican campaign funds
who profiteered do not want to
give up any of their profiteering
to do justice to the soldiers.
That, citizens, puts to the party
in power a flat, straight choice
which it cannot escape.
It can serve the profiteers and
get campaign funds, but lose the
election.
Or it can serve justice, ignore
the profiteers and trust the peo-
pie.
The bonus question puts the
Harding Administration to an
acid test.

no the American people desire
III to retain this country as
wholly theirs and theirs onlyi

~ w 1SOd1h VILE SoaAtAy 20
wholly theirs and theirs onlyi
AS this republic was handed
down intact to them, do they de-
sire to deliver it unimpaired to
their childreni
If these are their wishes, the
time is here for them to speak
and be heard!
By the four-power treaty, now
before the Senate, it is proposed
to bind up this country with
powers, to entangle this country
with purposes, entirely foreign to
the whole spirit and policy of
America.
Never before has there been an
attempt to make SO sweeping q
sacrifice Of American sovereignty
and Independence. Not even the
League of Nations, condemned at
tho polls by 100000 Of the
American people, would have in
70 ved us 30 quickly and irrevo-
cably in foreign entanglements.
The advocates of this treaty
have done their work well. With
the sweet music Of eternal peace
and lessened ornaments they have
luned to sleep the American
people. They have beguiled the
Senators who are intrusted by the
Constitution with the guardian
ship Of Americas independence.
There was a time when the
United States Senate was awake.
There was q time when its men,
bers stood eternally vigilant, lest
tho liberty that was won by Ameri-
can blood be taken away by for
eign stealth. There was q time
when it required no public clamor
to arouse the Senate to the ma
tons peril
That time has passed The
Senate is busy with many things.
It has tariffs and taxes and
budgets and bonus bills. It has
an election campaign at hand to
distract it.
A few undetermined men have
stood forth to defeat the nefarious
contract by which the United
States gives much and gets moth
ing in return. But they stand
alone.
Others sympathize, but they do
not fight. They sleep. But the
foreign advocates Of the four
power treaty never sleep. With
everything to gain from the
United States and nothing to give,
they are ever awake and alert.
The American people must sound
the alarm. The Senators will
listen to their constituents. Elec-
ton day is near at hand. They
will not be deaf to the peoples
appeals.
If the people do not make them
selves heard, tho Senate will
ratify the treaty with little more
than perfunctory discussion. If
the public be aroused, the Senate
will probe into the dark intrigues
by which this treaty was imposed
on the American delegates.
IF the public speak loudly
enough, the Senate will reject the
treaty as a compact to dethrone
the sovereign United States and
to make this country a vassal of
foreign imperialism.
But the people must speak. If
it were a question of 1 per cent
increase in a tariff, the Senate
