ADJUSTING WAR DEBTS.

Those acquainted with the ways OF
politics know that arguments which
seem directed against change of
policy are often most loudly voiced
after inner councils have weighed that
change as advisable. One reason for
this is to obtain a final surve. of the
state of public opinion before commit
ments difficult to withdraw from have
been made. Another is to assure the
public that tho changes contemplated
do not involve all that the opposition
has asserted.
Such Interpretation. 1t may be as
serted, may be read into the state
ment against any cancellation Of Allied
debts to this country made by Rep
resentative Burton. Of Ohio, one .f
the most able and well-posted mem
bers of the Debt Funding Commission.
Mr.. Burton's arguments, resting pr!-
marily on the responsibility of Europe
to reduce military expenses and do
something more to set her own finan-
clal house in order, are ones with
which few intelligent persons. at home
or abroad. can disagree. But il Is to
be noted that they coincide with ad-
vices from Washington that the ad-
ministration is now about to move 10
cooperate with Europe In making the
economic recuperation of that conti-
nent easier.
UP to the present our official atti-
tude toward the Allied debt has been
that We demand 1t all on rigorous
terms. The Debt Funding Commits

THE COAL COMMISSION.

The commission appointed by Presl-

mining industry for the information

neither the operators nor the miners,

LET US HAVE THE TRUTH.

ware evidently are determined to make
out an enthusiastic campaign for their
party. no matter how greatly their
claims may be at variance with the
facts. They are giving glowing ac-
siasm at Republican meetings thus far
held. notwithstanding there has not
been what might be called really good
attendance at any meeting In fur
therance of the Republican campaign.
And enthusiasm has been conspicuous
by its absence.
Take. for instance, the Republican
meeting held at The Playhouse in this
city, virtually tho opening rally" of
the campaign. According to reports In
the Republican papers 1t was "a hum
mcr." but the actual attendance was
not more than eight hundred-in a
population. At the Elsmere meeting.
Friday night, with a member of Presi-
dent Harding's cabinet a. the oratori-
cal attraction. there was an attend
ance OF less than three hundred. Yet
in Republican newspaper reports II
was a large and enthusiastic" as
semblase. And the Centrcville meet
ing drew not moro than three dozen
persona.
It IS a truth which all political OBJ
servers will recognize that there is
little evidence OF real >.,thusiasm in
the present campaign IN. this State.
Tho attendance At the meetings of
both parties has been ordinary. and
the Republican meeting at Tho Play
house was virtually "a frost" as TO
attendance and interest. There has
been no large Democratic gathering
yet, but a number Of rural meetings
have been held. with only n fair aver
age attendance. Perhaps as the cam
paign advances there will be more evil
dences Of public enthusiasm, but we
incline to the opinion that there Will
be a lack Of the large public interes,
that formerly attended political cam
paigns, made manifest by generous
turnouts and thunderous applause.
We do not believe, however, thi.
situation is due to apathy and indif-
ference. 1t Is more reasonable TO at
tribute It 10 a serious consideration
Of the issues OF the campaign b,
those who are most Immediately con
cerned in the results of the election
are thinking about the manner il
which they should vote. and many O
them as 90 whether II might not be a
well for them not to vote at all, sinc
they do not see how they can consci
entiously give a vote Of approval t
the Republican party and its policies.
At any rate, there is no use in en-
deavoring to misrepresent the situa
uon by fallacious claims of large at
tendance and unbounded enthusiasm
when neither element has been in evi
dence. We hope to be able TO presen
the exact facts as to these matters i
