create indiffesence to school and
home authority. setting up an in
stltution between the two over
which the school and home have no
control.
In 1918 membership in secret So
cieties was forbidden to students in
the secondary schools of New York
city. but no State action has been
taken. There are those who believe
there is nothing to be gained by
a state law. If you seek to abolish
a secret society by forbidding its ex-
istence. they say. what is to prevent
that society becoming more secret
still, and continuing without the
sanction Of authority
Nothing, really, except that to
drive the societies into cover is to
deprive them of a good part of the
attraction they have for the high
school student. The pleasure Of
displaying the priced pin is no
longer possible. Knowledge of the
society's existence must be confined
to its members, and by that limita-
ton the satisfaction Of knowing that
his distinction is envied by another
boy is denied to the initiate. A So
ciety as secret as that cannot make
itself an effective force in school
politics.
The husk that is left is too dry
to hold a boy for long while there
are so many more attractive things
which call for his participation.

choose between the party under
whose control It suffered economic
depression and business paralysis
and the party under which It has
prospered and has been set in the
way TO greater prosperity. there is
but one selection that is reasonably
open to It. The Democratic party
was tried and was found wanting.
The Republican party has been tried
and has been found not wanting.
The Republican record Is rich in con-
structive achievements and there
could be no better proof Of a party's
claim to support.
The real issue raised by the pres
ent campaign is whether or not the
country would fare better under con-
tinuance of Republican control,
which is already to be credited with
great Improvement of economic and
business conditions. than under re-
storaAon of the control of Congress
to the Democratic party. which
proved such an expensive and in
efficient steward when II was last in
power. That II would so fare Is the
only conclusion that reason permits.
And the whole nation has been given
10 see this. for the benefits that
have accrued under Republican con-
troll are nationwide. Every section
and interest has shared in them. The
President has championed the com
mon good" throughout his conduct
OF the administration and the Repub-
lican majority in Congress has d.
rected its efforts TO promotion of the
national welfare. as distinguished
from class interests. Having kept
faith with the people and having
zealously discharged the trust that
control imposes, the
Republican party has a right to ex-
pect the electorate support. and all
Indications are that It will get it.

Turkish affairs.
The Prime Minister had the hard
ihood TO ask for the publication OF
his conversation with the Labor
leaders on September 21 last. 1t APP
pears from the record that he taxed
them with having said in 1918 that
the Turkish subject peoples should
be taken away from the Turks and
put under the care of an interna-
tional commission.
Thus he scored a point on the
Laborites. But recalling what was
said in 1918 is a dangerous indul-
gence for Lloyd George. In that
year, wishing to encourage Indian
recruiting for the Palestine cam
paign, he promised the Indian
Mahomet that Great Britain
would not consent 10 taking eastern
Thrace and Constantinople away
from the Turks. He held to that
promise as late as the winter of
1920. reaffirming IL in speeches in
the House Of Commons. But in the
spring OF 1920 he changed his mind
and in August of that year signed
the Sevres Treaty, which elected the
Turk both from Thrace and Con-

more convincing as the campaign
advances. Before the first political
straws were loosed. conviction that
the Republican party would be VIC
torious at the polls in November was
warranted by its record Of achieve
ment. The early straws INDICATED
that currents of political sentiment
were moving in pro-Republican di-
rection. And those that now fill the
air corroborate the testimony of the
first that = were set afioat. From
North, South. East, West and center
come reports showing that the Re
publican party not only is holding
its own IN the campaign but Is daily
growing stronger.
The strength registered by the
Republicans in the Maine and Massa-
chusetts primaries showed that, in
those two Commonwealth, the party
is in robust health. And the same
is proved by the Repu blican party in
other New England States. The lat
est straws indicating pro-Republi-
can trend OF political sentiment in
that section are the town elections
of Connecticut. which Enthusiastically
show large Republican gains.
From New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, reports indicate IN
creasing Republican strength as sure

FOCH AND CLEMENCEAU.

From the New York Tribune.
AT Paris in 1919 Foch and Gle
menceau represented two different
aspects of French policy. Foch was
determined realist. In his opinion
France could reap the fruits of VIC
tory and obtain protection for the
future only by acquiring tangible
and durable guarantees.
He valued territorial and military
assets more than he did promises of
alliances, of military support from
Great Britain and the United States
in the indefinite future, of restitu-
ton that might not be made, of rep
arations that might never be COL
lectible. He wanted TO see France
on the Rhine and protected by the
Rhine barrier That would be bet
ter than whistling for German war
payments.
Clemenceau may have been origl-
nally more or less sympathetic with
these ideas. But as a civilian he re-
scented the great marshals inter-
