Every American interested In our
international relations should read
LLOYD Georges article published In
The washington Times-Herald AND
the other Hearst papers. 1t consul
tutes a terrible arraignment OF Euro
pean conditions.
n the inferences or conclusions OF
LLOYD George had been written by
An '.irrsconcilable" OF the United
states Senate, the pro-league, pro
EnRlish press of the United States
would have outdone itself In expres
sions OF contumely, denuncaation ano
abuse. It is the former prime min
lister Of Great Britain who says
But alas, Satan is not done with
Europe" who implies that France
seeks annexation OF the left bank
of the Rhine. and then dramatically
exclaims: III the French ministers
have made up their mfnds that
under no conditions win they even
at the end of the period Of occupa
ton withdraw from the Rhine. then
a new chapter opens in the history
of Europe and the world with 9
climax Of horror such as mankind
has never yet witnessed"
The United States was asked tC
join with Great Britain In q guar
antee of France. Whether Lloyd
George's. indictment Of France b
correct or incorrect. 1t is the indict
ment of one Of the guArantoTr
against the policy Of the nation We
were asked to guarantee. Lloyd
George accentuates the wisdom OF
the Senate in refusing to enter into
the pledge.
when we read Lloyd George q
article and then turn to the facts OF
the recent war between Greece and
Turkey and observe that II wa
Lloyd Georges government that en-
couraged and probably persuaded
Greece in her misadventure, Ameri
cans may indulge In Thanksgiving
that they are no part Of the Euro
pean fnaelstrom or its sinister
diplomacy.

REFERENDUM PETITION.
Mooted Questions Before Secretary of
State Regarding Revenue Agent.

jackson, Sept. 2O.-The depart
ment Of justice is diligently trying to
straighten out the law applicable to
the initiative The investigation is
being made on request Of Secretary
Power as to his authority in acting
on the initiative petition carrying the
law putting the Revenue agent on a
salary limit Stokes ". Robertson,
revenue agent, has filed with Secre-
tary Power a protest Of about 1000
words against the initiative petition,
claiming extensive forgeries Of sig-
natures, disqualified signers and at
tacking the petitions for defects Of
various kinds, some of which are that
the petitions were not signed in the
presence of the party swearing to
their legality, but left IN drug stores
and elsewhere for signatures.
The difficulty in reaching proper
conclusion is due to the loose YER
biage Of the initiative amendment
and the involved phraseoiogy. An
other difficulty is that the Mississippi
amendment is different in substance
from all other amendments which
have been passed upon by the courts,
/ and precedents for determining the
law are scarce.
The constitutional amendment re-
quires the secretary Of state to pass
upon the asuificiency or insufficiencyH
of the amendment; and then makes
the affidavits to the signatures prima
facie evidence that the signers are
qualified electors. 1t is difficult to
4 see how the secretary Of state can
pass upon the sufficiency Of the pc
! tition unless he can take evidence 70
contradict the prima facie case, and
this is one Of the questions presented
/ Another question is whether the
revenue agent can enjoin the sec
retary Of state from putting this law
on the November ticket. 1t is well
settled that you cannot enjoin an
election. But this would not be en-
Joining the election. The election
would 20 on even if the law were not
on the ticket. II would be simply a
question Of determining whether OF
not the law had the right to be plac-
ed on the ticket
! On its face the petition is more
I than ample, containing more than H.
/ 600 names, whereas 1900 are sufficient
I The revenue agent claims that he has
certificates from clerks of courts
showing that most Of the signars on
