Making Fun Compulsory.

1t would be possible. were one in
clined to spend the time in a profit- :
less manner. to search out incident
after incident in support of the con :
tention that a saving sense of humor
Is priceless to individuals and ma
tions. At this removed date we are
probably unable to estimate properly
the worth of Benjamin Franklin's
pun about hanging together or doing
it separately. 1t broke the tenseness
of the situation and at the same time
mapped out a course Of action.
All of which is preliminary to the
thought that it wouldn't be bad
thing if e,were to compel our pro-
spectiye statesmen to take course in
the practical art of seeing the hu-
morous side. If the course were suf-
ficiently we'll planned, and the quali-
fications for certificates of compile
tion sufficiently prohibitive, its ef-
fects might be far-reaching. Indeed
we should not permit a prospective
statesman to enter upon the course
without his first being able to laugh
long and heartily ct his exaggerated
sense of his own Importance.
Let us hope for some action along
this line. There is great historical
honor in store for the nation which
takes the lead in instituting compul-
sorry humor.-South Bend Tribune Gn-

Of an allied power. So far as known
nothing has been returned. and sena,
tor Borah asserts upon information re!
ceived that the money has been In

gate this matter and summon the &C.
credited Russian envoy he may, Of
course, claim diplomatic Immunity
and, as long as the State Department
ruling stands. he may evade question
ing with regard to this fund and its
present use. There is no precedent for
such q situation. Nearly seventy
years ago a foreign minister was sum-
moned as witness in q murder case In
this District and refused to attend
court. The State Department then re-
quested his government to ask him to
waive immunity and testify, and
eventually. requested his recall for his
refusal to appear in court. In, this
case there is no goeernment with
which to communicate. The United
States has no relations with the soviet,
which is unquestionably the govern
ment in fact of Russia. That govern
ment does not recognize Bakhmeteff
as its representative. Is this situation
to continue indefinitely? The inquiry
into the s1s7 900. 900 fund should pre-
cipitate a solution.

Big Figures.

Some very interesting facts about
the postal service were given by First
Assistant Postmaster General Bartlett
in a recent address at Marion, Ohio.
The facts illustrate and emphasize the
magnitude of the Post Office Depart.
ment. 1t is quite likely that many Of
our Washington people. though they
understand that the Post Office De-
partment is a big institution, do not
realize it's full size. Mr.. Bartlett said,
with many other interesting things.
that the department runs the largest
savings bank in the world. a bank
with 100000 depositors and. deposits
of $152,000,o 1t has 325. 900 EN-.
ployes, who receive and deliver twelve
billion letters a year, many more
than billion postal cards and three
billion parcels. sell fourteen billion
postage stamps and two billion seven
hundred million stamped envelopes;
issue and redeem one and one-half bill
lion dollars in money orders: use sixty
five million mail bags and eight hun.
dred thousand miles Of twine in tying
up bundles Of letters. and operate
forty.four thousand rural mail routes
which serve six and one-half million
families. The figures are immense!
They remind one also Of the vastness
of the work Of the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing in turning out the
stamps and stamped paper, and they
also remind one OF, the mail bag repair
shop in Washington. where 800 Of our
fellow citizens work to keep those 65.-
000, 900 mail bags in good condition.

Governor General Wood.

II Governor General Wood shall de-
eide in favor of his present place as
against the place being held for him
by the University of Pennsylvania the
country will feel much satisfaction.
He Is so conspicuously well assigned
at Manila. and since arriving there
has performed such valuable service
to all in interest, Filipinos and Amer
leans alike. his longer stay would an
swer a sort of public demand.
The four-power treaty has not
changed our attitude toward the
Philippines, or lessened our obligations
to the people. We are there to admin
lister their affairs until they are fully
competent for the work themselves
and we can lay it down without risk
OF retrogression.
We should not hurry of. No prom.
Use is out requiring US to leave now or
soon. We are free to judge the time
for departure. and we should fax it ac.
cording to our experience with the
Filipinos and conditions in that part
of the world. The archipelago is not
suffering because Of our control. On
the contrary, it is enjoying obvious
benefits.
Gen. Wood made some sacrifice in
accepting his post. and will make ad-
ditional sacrifice If he now holds on.
But he is a man Of high public spirit.
and in holding on he would be giving
an exhibition of it. Filling his place
would be difficult, and its importance
for some time to come will be con-
siderable.

The Status Of Bakhmeteff.

Senator Borah presents the ques-
tion. Of the status Of Boris Bakhme.
teffj accredited ambassador from Rus.
sia at this capital, in terms that can.
not be ignored. Apropos Of relations
between Bakhmeteff and Semenoff the
Idaho senator asserts that while the
State Department still formally re-
ceives the former as the representa-.
tive Of Russia, this government is Of
record as recognizing that the govern
ment which sent him here has ceased
to exist, and that another government
has succeeded whose envoy it has re-
fused to accept. This is an anomalous
situation, which might perhaps be
maintained without injury or i'm.
propriety save for q certain charge
that Senator Borah now makes which
is worthy of-investigation.
It is stated that Immediately after
his recognition as Russian ambassador
in July, 1917. Bakhmeteff secured
from the United States Treasury ten
million dollars, and from time to time
during the next four months-that IL

Mr.. Wilson's Leadership.

Mr.. Wilson's advice is still being
sought on political matters. and is still
being promptly and frankly given.
The latest instance is that Of a VIII
sonfte in Missouri who aspiring to the
seat in the Senate now occupied by
Mr.. Reed wrote to Mr.. Wilson about
announcing. There is already Will
sonite in the field for the nomination
against Mr.. Reed, and Mr.. Wilson
thinks a second entrant might compli-
cate the primary. giving Mr.. Reed an
advantage. So he said in reply to the
request for a word on the subject:
II am sorry to give advice which I
you, but If you believe in my political
leadership think it will be wise for
you to accept it."
This is logical II this man is true
Wilsonite he will follow his leader,
and particularly as respects a matter
which that leader has as much at
heart as the defeat Of Mr.. Reed for re.
nomination. Mr.. Wilson is stalking a
good deal on that, and II he loses will
lose heavily.
There is nothing palmer than that
Mr.. Wilson is still in politics, and not
solely for the purpose of settling old
scores with those democrats who
while he wa. in the White House in
sisted on forming and expressing
opinions of their own on matters ap-
pealing to their judgment. He is evil

Some Phases Of Tariff Question

~ UPPOSE, for instance, there are

speak, that one might get the beneft
Of 1t without that dry taste? For,
surely there is nothing that comes
closer. in the long run, except dreci
taxation-to every man. woman ana
ohild-than the operation and ef-
fects Of the tariff laws.
Because the tariff taxes you without
your being able to put finger upon
the spot 1t touches does not mean
that you are not being taxed. The
tariff or absence Of customs dues af-
fects industry. employment and the
pay roll of hundreds of thousands OF

fects are SO manifold as to be pc
wildering. But it is so replete with
technicauties and arithmetic as TO
render it an exceedingly dry topic

Abraham Lincoln made the shortest

tective tariff. He said that IL we buy
a ton of steel rails from Europe. we
have the rails and Europe has the
money. II we buy ton of rails made
at home. America has both the money
and the rails. But all this is

hendible mainly to manufacturers
and importers. there are some salient
features which ought to interest the

the President of the United States
with wide discretion to change tariff
rates, to meet changing conditions
abroad-a radical departure from ex-
listing law and policy. 1t will be dis
cussed by and large in the succeeding
weeks. Now. all customs duties are

tion alters them. Objections to and

When the late Senator Nelson w.

plated retiring from public life he
found man on the finance committee
who seemed deeply studious Of the
subject. He was Senator Snoot Of
Utah, a man of a mathematical mind.

ing disposition. He encouraged Sen
ator Smpot ol.continue to bone up
on the tarffr, and the Utah senator is
now regarded as in the front rank of
the tariff experts Of both sides of the
chamber.
Senator Smoot says of this plan to
permit the President to change rates:
1T is proposed to make 1t the duty
Of the President to ascertain differ
ences in conditions Of competition in
trade of such or similar products in
the United States and competing for
eign countries, which will enable him
to find what rates of duty upon i'm
ported merchandise will equalize any
differences which he may find to exist
In favor of foreign producers In mar
keting such products in the United
States. This is the rule which Con-
gress should lay down for the guild
ance of the President in adjusting
tariff rates.
AT the same time the law provides
definite limits within which increases
and decreases may be made. namely,
not to exceed so per cent of the duty
fixed in the law.

ferred to above the President is per

Tax Legislation and the Senate.


Srhe Senate is now to consider on its

ports on the District bill. The pro-

been discussed: -

riAnged from not less, than twofhirds

lessor assesses in practice up to and
on the average slightly beyond the
two-thirds- minimum valuation. This
faithfu1ness in assessment reduces the
tax rate to be applied to the assess
nfent roll to produce the necessary tax
revenue, until the Districts tax rate
already seems low when compared
with the rates of many other cities,
which with nominal full valuation as
sessment actually assess only from 80
to 85 per cent Of full value, and must
correspondinsiy increase their tax
rates to secure the needed revenue. II
the District is put upon the full valua.
tion basis, it will go there, not only
nominally but in fact, and in COM
parison with other cities whose low
assessments require high tax rates
