ouTLAw1NG GAS.

There will be general approval of the action Of
the 1--WE great powers represented at the Washing
ton conference in placing a ban on the use of poison
gas in warfare. Reasons for popular satisfaction
with this decision are both sentimental and practi-
cal. 1t is impossible to apply rules of logic to senti-
rnent. There is undoubtedly plenty Of logic in sup
port OF the use Of gas in warfare. The main object
IN a battle is to kill the enemy or put him out Of
commission. In the olden days that end was
achieved by means of a club, an AK or a spear. Some
OF Our ancestors may have looked with disfavor on
the killing of an enemy with an arrow shot from a
distance. The thing may have been unsportsrnan-
be supplanted later by firearms, and there, again,
there may have been criticisms Of the newfangled
device on grounds OF humanity and sportsmanship.
Obviously, it is quite as humane to kill a man by
pouring gas. over him as it is to explode a charge Of
INT in his immediate vicinity. Nevertheless.
there IS a sentiment against the use of gas, and that
sentiment must be recognized.
The practical objections are very real. War
gas, in its most effective forms, is not only fatal to
armed men, but may be equally fatal, long after an
engagement, to n~oncombatants. Moreover, the
projects for the use Of gas against populous cities
are thoroughly shocking in their diabolical nature.
A civilization which demands that a merchant YES
sci shall not be attacked until all civilians have been
placed in safety cannot consistently tolerate the in
discriminate, slaughter of women and children in
their city and village homes by means of gas DELHI
erately let loose for that specific purpose.
the principal nations at the conference and all other
nations are invited to concur. The step is in the
interest Of humanity. But the fact remains that
Germany, IN the late war, inaugurated the use of
gas IN defiance of existing regulations to the con-
trafv.

POLITICAL ENLIGHTENMENT.

While the enfranchisernent of women has failed
signally in one of the results anticipated by, some
OF IT'S advocates, namely, that of setting apart the
women OF the country as a separate voting element,
It has influenced methods Of campaigning in some
sections of the country in a rather important way.
Organizations of women voters were created,
not for the purpose of inducing the members to vote
in a particular way, but for the purpose of aiding
the members to a knowledge of political issues with
which many of them had formerly not come into
close contact. Various means were employed to
place information before the members of such or
CARNATIONS. Persons known to be familiar with
the subjects at issue were invited to state their
views. Political candidates were questioned by
mail as to their attitude on pending issues. In the
state of New York, particularly, there has been de-
veloped on a rather large scale the custom of hav-
ING, not formal speeches, but informal talks by can
didates to small groups Of women, at which gather
ings questions are freely asked and answered. The
freedom and informality at such meetings: con-
from anything possible under the older methods OF
campaigning.
This plan, as it has been carried out, has been
the means OF real enlightenment. The purpose has
not been to heckle or confuse speakers. That
practice is an old one. and, according to most Amer
lean views. a highly Objectionable one. In England
az IS taken as a matter Of course, but in this country
it IS favored only in the rougher communities. But
the conversational gathering, where the purpose is
to5elicit information, and to reach an understanding
As to the attitude of the candidate, is a very differ
ent matter. In giving an impetus to this form OF
campaigning the extension of the franchise has con-
iferTed = very real benefit.

THE MILLER CHARGES

The filing OF charges tending to show the un-
fitness OF an, individual for ashighly important po-
sition is not a pleasant act for any one to perform.
And when the Individual has actually been nonnin-
ated for an office by the highest official in the land,
on the recommendation of at least one senator from
his own state, and with the concurrence of the head
OF one OF the great departments of the federal gov
eminent, there must be strong conviction to recon
clio the average man to the formulation. of such
charges.
Nevertheless, reputable citizens of unques-
toned standing in their own communities, finding
that, failing positive action on their part, Andrew
Miller, OF Bismarck is. certain to be given a position
on the federal bench. have. placed before the judici-
airy committee Of the United States senate a formal
statement reciting their belief in the ~unfitness of
Mr.. Miller for this position, and stating i'll detail
their reasons for this convictions.
The men who have signed this protest would
not have done so unless they believed they had
abundant reason. They are in a position to know
what the facts are. They state what they assert to
be facts, without qualification. If the facts are as
stated. if they are even approximately as stated, it
would be a shameful act to place Mr.. Miller on the
bench. For the committee to ignore the protest
would be to say that they do not care what may be
the character of a federal Judge. Responsibility in
the matter cannot be shirkcd. There are sinister
rumors of the means employed by Senator Nc
ton, an appointment which has not been supported
by any element in North Dakota outside of that
which is purely political. But whatever inAuene
may have been brought to bear on the administra-
ton, the senate cannot take shelter behind that. The
senate has too conspicuously and too enphatically
asserted its right to independence of action to pass
the buck" to the president in this case.
The charges against Miller demand thorough,
and impartial investigation. And thorough and i'm
partial investigation, with the determination to act
on the facts as asceEtained can lead to but one re-
suit, the emphatic rejection of Miller's appointment.

Imagine being sent to the movies" "to
be taken to one Of the best picture shows
in town." "and the Judge thought he was
furnishing US" gee, that was rich" These
were some of the thoughts that raced
through the boys minds as they left the
County Court house at Market and Spring
field streets. They had been ordered to
report to Mr.. Gascoyne and to be escorted
by his assistants to see the picture.
THAT Judge is a nut" one Of them was
heard to say.
"Ain't it rich to strike something as easy
a. tfis?" uttered another.
But q few hours later they sat in the
front seats in darkened house and a
picture was flashed on the screen. The
boys saw the story Of a mothers heart
torn by the waywardness Of her own chill
dren. One son brought home to her a flap
rer wife and an ambitious motherinlaw
who was spending his money with a care
less hand, while the boy was struggling
upward to win his place as a lawyer and
public official. This discontented wife
squandered every cent until the son. un-
known to his wife, turned to his own
mother to get the money to pay his bills.
And then, when success as a lawyer
seemed to be coming his way. her other
son confessed that he had stolen from his
employers cash box and was about to
feel the hand OF the law on his shoulders.
Then the mother gave up her jewels to
saye her son from jail and was turned
upon by her daughter-in-law for squan-
dering her own money.
As the picture unfolded the plot, the
probation officers who sat with the de-
linquent children noticed change In their
demeanor. From gleefulness their youth
full charges thoughts seemed to change to
sorrow and when It was all over the boys
trooped out and were taken to their
homes. But on that homeward journey
tliey did not chatter SC freely as they had
when they started for the theatre. The
lesson was sinking In.
The following day many Of the boys,
