The Right to Live
NENATOR WATSON of Indian,

NENATOR WATSON Of Indiana
would be less confident Of
~ anti-strike legislation as a
cure for coal strikes if he were bet
ter acquainted with the miners.
They are not more lawless than
other people, but they are stubborn
in defense of what they believe to
be their rights.
Among those rights they place
the chance to earn fair living un-
der tolerable working conditions.
Give them that and strikes among
them will not be many.
Fail to give them that and they
will strive to get i|be the law
what it may.
Hence we advise the Indiana
Senator to fix the rights before he
tries to outlaw the protests against
the wrongs.
In that way he will have not
only the miners, but most other
citizens with him-a considerable
advantage if he wants his legisla-
ton to be effective.

A Source of Annoyance

THIS is the season when Amer
lean travellers are returning
i from Europe. They bring
back diversity of opinions on
European conditions. Do not let
any of these opinions alarm you.
Their diversity makes them safe.
On one point, however, there
seems to be a unanimity of view.
And that is that the quarantine
regulations in this country are
more annoying than in any other
spot in the world. Passengers are
kept huddled in a steamers saloon,
sometimes for hours, waiting for
the health officer at quarantine to
board the ship and look at them.
This is really a senseless annoy
ance. A health officer, looking at
four or five hundred cabin pas
sengers, cannot possibly safeguard
the country against the introduc-
ton Of contagious disease. Un-
less he takes temperatures, makes
blood cultures and a careful physi-
cal examination of each passenger,
the ordeal is a farce.
Another reason why the pas
sengers are held up in this fashion
is that the health officer counts
them. A cheerful occupation for
physician!
In Europe passengers are not
bothered in this way. If a case of
contagious disease creeps in, the
ships captain and ships doctor
are sent to Jail. They have a
whole week in which to examine
the passengers. And they are
rather thorough in their work.

nYSTANDER' cartoonist has
drawn Uncle Sam true to life,
- very true.
He is out of the conflagration
in Europe and desires to keep out.
He was in it for awhile and got
his fingers burnt and knows
enough now not to get in it again
despite the efforts Of the interna-
tional bankers.
These gentlemen are now at work
influencing political platforms. They
intend to have the Democrats en-
dorse the League of Nations and
the Republicans the Four-Power
Alliance.
The triumphant denomination of
those Senators who opposed the
League of Nations and the Four
Power Alliance shows conclusively
the sentiment Of the people.
The question then is simply this:
Is the influence of the interna-
tional bankers and public officials
with the political parties greater
than the influence of public senti-
mentf
And will both parties continue
to defy public sentiment in order
to secure the campaign benefits
which the international bankers
have to offerf

Lee HighWay
Development
BY BILL PRICE.

r EADING men Of Washington
are giving hearty encourage
ment to the drive about to
start for members of the Lee High
way Association, which is develop
ing a main trunk line highway
from Washington to San Diego,
Cal, as a national memorial to
Gen. ROBERT E. LEE, the famous
Southern chieftain.
In the South the sentimental side
of the appeal is no more forceful
than the practical features. of a
great national roadway which will
aid in the material development of
every State it passes through.
The headquarters of the Lee
Highway Association have been es-
tablished in the Albee building, this
city, with the national officers
laboring necessarily to carry for
ward the project, which is conceded
to be of exceptional Importance to
Washington.
Well-known Washingtonians are
officers of the association and are
devoting their time to arousing
here the deep interest which the
project deserves.
If the Lee Highway meant no
more to Washington than the open
ing of a trunk line through the
State of Virginia that in itself
would be sufficient justification for
the fullest local support. The aims
and hopes of Washington business
men have long been to connect this
city with every outlying region that
the people of the surrounding
States may become better acquaint-
ed with our splendid shopping
facilities and exceptionally low
prices; with the beauties of the
National Capital and the advan-
tages, business and otherwise, to be
found in visiting us.
The project, though, has still
wider ramifications than that of
the strictly local benefits to be OBJ
tanned by acquainting Virginia and
other people with the desirable fea-
lures of the National Capital. The
highway, when connected up from
Washington to San Diego, and this
is being done link by link, will
bring to Washington thousands of
motorists travelling to and from
Southern, Southwestern and Pacific
Coast States who will undoubtedly
tarry here to learn more Of their
National Capital.
The Highway Association has
joined with local civic and trade
organizations which will put for
ward unusually strong efforts at
the next session of Congress to OBJ
tain larger appropriations for bet
ter roads within the District of
Columbia.
Every Washington business and
professional man who wants to see
his city develop its connections
with surrounding territory and
even with remote parts Of the ma
tion; every motorist and citizen
who understands the value of good
roads, will give a helping hand to
the Lee Highway project.

Ellen Terry on
Late Suppers
KIss ELLEN TERRY, grande

AKISS ELLEN TERRY, grande
dame of the English stage,
AVA recently declared that "ac-
tresses should 60 home to bed after
they have finished their work so as
to be able to work better the next
day."
This is sound sense applied to
the actors and to every other pro-
fession. We do not know any rea-
son why it should be applied to the
actor more than to others.
There is no reason why the ac-
tor should not be considered as
useful a member of the community
as the lawyer, the doctor or the
preacher. And all the world will
consider him to be entitled to that
position just as soon as he consid-
ers himself entitled to it and acts
accordingly.
Sir Herbert Tree used to say
that he detested seeing actors and
actresses going about showing them
selves off like lions at the zoo.
In a nutshell, there is just the
same reason for actresses going to
late suppers and jazz dances until
o'clock in the morning that there
is for other people doing the same
thing. No more; no less.
