Should RatifY the Treaties.

There is very impressive reason why
the senate should go ahead with little fuss
possible and ratify the treaties evolved by
the Washington conference, regardless of par
tisan politics or personal predictions. That
is the necessity of showing the powers of the
world that the United States is capable of max
ing good foreign policies enunciated and
advanced by its executive. Since the failure of
the League of Nations through senatorial trick
cry every great power in the world has been
skeptical and suspicious of accepting our COM
mitments made through the head of the ma
ton or the state department. It is frequently
limited from Europe that the wisdom of under
taking agreements with the United States is
doubtful because the best efforts of the execu-
tive likely to fall prey to cheap political
play in the senate
If the disarmament conference treaties
should suffer the same fate as the league COW
enant our standing among the nations would
drop about to zero. Democrats may doubt the
efficacy of these treaties as compared to the
league arrangement, irreconcilables may criti-
else them as worse than the covenant of Yer
as the leagal head of the nation and the other
powers have accepted them in good faith The
responsibility, if there is error in them, is upon
the shoulders of the administration. Unless
we are prepared to reduce the president and
the state department to the status of office
boys and lose the confidence of the world as to
our ability to function in international affairs
we had better ratify the treaties and prepare
to fulfill our part in them without needless
pickering.

The City's Smoke Problem.

The smoke evil of the great industrial CEN
tiers is at last coming IN for the scrutiny and
condemnation it so richly deserves. recent
study of one typical city, conducted by firm
of consulting engineers, showed that the total
yearly deposit of SCOT calculated to the square
mile, varied from 353 tons in the best case to
2,432 in the worst. In addition to this solid
substance the engineers took note of such case
Gus contents of the atmosphere as carbon di-
oxide, nitrous acid, chlorine, sulphur acids and
ammonia. ALI OF these are injurious to the
health and clothing of human beings and to
plant life There is also a heavy economic
cost in the depreciation of buildings stock and
furnishings, and in fuel and smoke
That particular city enjoys an amazingly
and an intolerably polluted air all the year
around The reason is not that such air pollu-
ton cannot be abated or that similar disgrace
full interference with health and the enjoyment
of life has not been controlled elsewhere. The
war against this sort Of smoke has been slow
in starting, but it is gaining momentum. City
after city is taking up smoke abatement prob
lens with the serious determination to do away
with the evil as soon possible. The harm
full effects OF dark and dirty air recognized
and with that recognition comes the effort to
check the nuisance. The shameful plight of the
big cities should be a warning to the smaller
ones.

and consistently. When Lincoln was great
man In the state and nation he served on a COM
mittee which looked into the qualifications OF
men who were asking for admission to the bar,
and II is recalled that in one instance he was
asked TO look into the merits and abilities OF 3
young college man who had graduated In the
east and who had taken post graduate work.
Lincoln asked the young man several questions
about his education, found where he had studied
and what grades he had received, and then rec
commended him for admission to the bar without
having asked him a single question regarding
law or court practice II envy you" Lincoln
said. Flaw is the great profession. And no

Educating the Lawyer.

A resolution recommending that two years
of college work be required a part of the
education leading to admission to the bar was
adopted by the national conference of bar as
sociations held last week in Washington. In
the plan is ruinous and that if two years of
college training is to be required before adj
mission to the bar is permitted, hardship will
be worked upon many poor young who
have been unable to get a college education.
He held that IL this rule had been in effect sew
eral decades ago it would have prevented Abra-
ham Lincoln from becoming a lawyer. There
are hundreds of brilliant lawyers in the United
States who never enrolled for regular college
work. 1t is also true that practically all the
great lawyers who have contributed the most
to literature during the past decade have been
lawyers who were college men AS a rule the
men who successful in business and who
had been denied college education are more
enthusiastic endorsers of higher education than
many of the college graduates. 1t was to be
expected that somebody would mention Lincoln
during the discussion OF the resolution, for
Lincoln reached Unprecedented fame in this
country without a college education. But Lin
coin firm believer in college training.

uonal opportunities In his youth

The Equality of Suffrage.

America Is especially concerned with the
conflict now engaging Japan. 1t seems that in
that country voters must have certain qualifi-
cations. They must own certain amount OF
property and otherwise meet requirements Of
the law, all OF which tends to limit the voting
power to a part and not all thus have the
opportunity to express their preference at the
polls. The demand Is now for universal suf-
frage, and it seems that the power of the gov
eminent is directed to opposing that wish 1t
Is therefore popular uprising. The japanese
leaders will be wise not to show too bitter an
tagonism to this demand Such an attitude
would be against the general policy of the gov
trnment of the world. A limited suffrage signi-
fes an oligarchical rule. 1t becomes in other
words the government of the few. It is dan
gerous indeed to resist the movement of any
considerable number of the people who are
denied the right of suffrage In the end it will
mean revolution. In our own country the right
to franchise has not been granted to all the
people at once The securing of the privilege
has been a long and tedious proposition. In
this country as whole there is in the con-
stitution enumerated no educational test no
property qualification. But strange to say the
first conception shut the women out. It took
nearly century of agitation before this boon
was granted. In number of other govern
ments franchise is now of the universal type.
Limitation usually means class enthrone-
ment. The prosperous elements then are the
government. The poor are shut out from par
ticipation. This is wrong in principle. Many
of the problems that confront governments re-
late to the rights Of the poor and the methods
by which they can secure justice against the
more powerful elements of government The
voice of the entire people must be heard. There
must be an equality OF suffrage. The one thing
that the common man, wH,ther he holds prop
erty or not, must not be deprived of is the right
to a vote, to part in the government that at
any moment may call him to deadly duty.
If he is to be used by the state he must be rec
ognized by the state having rights No
wonder then that the people of Japan crowd
around the parliament building and shout for
the right to vote 1t will come, too, unless the
military elements Of that country succeed in
preventing it.

Too Late for Communism.

Frank A. Vanderlip, former New York bank
er, has written series of newspaper articles
on Europe. In one of them he describes af-
fairs in Russia at the present time. One of
the soviet officials is quoted saying: 1--WE
have not abandoned the theory of communism,
but we have come to the conclusion that
tried to inaugurate communistic society few
centuries too soon" The fact is that COM
munism in Russia came too late instead of too
soon. Perhaps there time when the
treme turn from monarchy might have worked
with less calamity That would have been be-
fore the republic put into practical form.
Communism will not stand up in comparison
with a democracy, for the latter has demon
strated to the entire world what be done
in the way of government by the people.
Leaders of soviet Russia can shout about
bolshevism until they are exhausted, but they
cannot refute the plain physical fact that the
republic known the United States Of Ameri-
ca has been great success. We, too, resorted
