MIR. Marshall's Retirement.

The Stars special news from In
dianapolis, that Thomas r. Marshall
has retired from active politics and en-
tered upon a business career. will
cause mixed feelings-hope for his
success in his new venture, and regret
at his disappearance from a field
which contains today none too many
men Of his caliber and quality.
Mr.. Marshall as his party's candi-
date for senator this year would have
added to interest in the Indiana cam
paign. Pitted against Mr.. Beveridge
Orator opposed to orator, and both
familiar with the game Of politics and
with official life in Washington-he
would have been at his best and de-
veloped the best in Mr.. Beveridge. A
joint debate, taking in the state,
might have been arranged: and then.
undoubtedly, good time would have
been had by all.
But Mr.. Marshall did not cotton to
the suggestion, and the explanation
now comes in this business announce
ment.
1t would be risky, however. to take
leave Of Mr.. Marshall for good. He
may be tempted at a later day to re-
enter the old field. If the democracy
comes back-this year in the congress
sional struggle. and two years hence
in the great quadrennial struggle
there will be cakes and ale in abun-
dance for the faithful, and Mr.. Mar
shall may be invited to the feast. A
cabinet portfolio, or a first-class am
bassadorship, is always a prize, and
to either post Mr.. Marshall would
bring a demonstrated capacity for pub
lie business and an attractive personal
address assuring success.

POSTPONE "Daylight-Saving"!

1t is not too late to reconsider the
decision to open the government de-
partments an hour earlier in the
morning as measure of daylight
saving" Evidently that decision was
reached too quickly. giving no chance
for the necessary adjustment. Subse-
quent to the announcement that the
hourS-not the clocks-wpuld be shift
ed came disclosures that certain legal
difficulties stand in the way Of COM
plete uniformity of practice, and now
it is realized that law is necessary
to legalize the change Of banking
hours. With the utmost expedition it
is questionable whether such law
could possibly be rushed through Con-
sress in time to affect the situation
Monday.
There is no particular hurry about
this matter. Nor is there any over
whelming demand for the change.
Certain interests will undoubtedly be
served we'll by the shift Of hours.
Those who seek recreation in the aft

engage in amateur gardening will find
their available digging time length
ened. There is no particular objection
to "daylight-saving" in principle or in
practice in an urban community. so
long as it does not cause confusion
and trouble. But daylight saving"
without changing the clocks is GER
tain to cause both confusion and trou-
Bile and should not be attempted.
Unless positive assurance can be
had from the Capitol that the clock
changing law will be enacted before
Monday-an apparently impossible
task-the general early-opening hours
for the departments should be sus-
pended. Business will adjust to this
delay in the shift. The proposal for
the changed hours was brought to a
head with surprising suddenness. and
it can be laid on the table, so to speak,
quite as quickly.

EDITORIAL DIGEST

years since a republic in China was
proclaimed, the Peoria Transcript sug-
gests that the war there supplies
new evidence that democracies are
evolved and cannot be created by
fiat. Both in Russia and in China the
masses are still slumberlng. There
can be no final decision until they
have spoken" Because of that fact
the San Antonio Express believes that
should any intervention become neces-
sary "the nations should limit action
to measures necessary to protect their
nationals from illegal exactions or
treaty violations" 1t points out that
the Chinese resent meddling in their
own affairs and there already has
been too much of this" This view
also is concurred In by the Denver
Rocky Mountain News. which believes
that "if the war continues too long
watchful Japan may intervene openly
and cause international complication"
And in this very connection the Pitts
burgh Sun points out that fthe af-
fairs of the far east are overshadowed
in consideration of the western hemi-
spheres by the great events at Genoa,
but they are little, If any. less sur

The Russian Reply.

About the most optimistic note that
comes from Genoa with reference to
The Russian reply to the allies memo
randum is that it affords a basis for
further negotiations And even this
is contingent upon the willingness OF
France and Belgium to continue neSo-
tiations with government which re-
iects every major premise upon which
the possibility of such negotiations
had been predicated.
1t was demanded that Russia reCog-
nize the Czarist and other pre-war
willing to promise 10 pay these debts,
for the sake of contracting further in
debtedness, but repudiates them in
principle. 1t was demanded that the
nationalized property of foreigners be
restored or its owners compensated.
Moscow processes Willingness TO do
this ''as an act of grace and as the
price of further credits and invest
ments, but denies that Russia is un-
der any obligation. moral or otherwise,
to make such restitution 1t was de-
manded that Russia suppress upon
her territory all attempts to aid revo-
lutionary movements iii other COun-
tries" Moscow fatty refuses to COM
ply with this demand. Propaganda
for communism is To be continued and.
so far as there are any assurances to
the contrary. it would be greatly
strengthened by the money Russia
hopes 20 obtain in the form of loans
from the governments she would seek
to destroy. Others of the demands
contained in the memorandum are
evaded or ignored.
It may be that the powers assembled
at Genoa will regard the Russian re-
ply as constituting a basis for further
negotia tions. but it certainly never
will be regarded in this country as a
satisfactory basis for loans TO the Mos
cow government or for the extension
of commercial credits to Russia or the
investment of American money there.
If the validity of debts is to be ad-
mitted only as matter of eXpediency
and in the hope of contracting new
debts, if seized investments are to be
restored or compensated for only for
the avowed purpose of obtaining
further investments which may be
seized later on, then the United States
can do business with Russia only on a
strictly cash basis.
The soviet representatives profess
to be desirous of bringing two conflict
ing economic systems into working
accord. That woull be sufficiently
difficult, but it is not the main diff
Guilty. Between Russia and the rest
Of the world there is conflict in moral
systems, and the way to reconcile
morality with immortality has not yet
been devised. To accept the condi-
tions laid down in the Russian reply
and extend the. formal recognition
which Moscow demands would amount

morality is one of the things which
have gone out OF fashion since the
war.

Amend Amendment One.

It is generally conceded that pay
ment of District taxes in two install
ments, the first near the beginning of
the fiscal year. will obviate the, neces-
Sity of advances from the Treasury to
pay any part of the Districts share Of
capital expenditures. 1t is also indi-
Gated that the existence of the Dis
trict's s5,0O0,OOO tax surplus is gen.
orally recognized, though some think
il should not be paid until legal or
equitable counter claims of the United
States have been examined and, if es-
tablished, deducted.
Amendment No. l proposes to put
the District in 1923 on the pay-as-you-
go basis, and sets up certain ma
chinery to accomplish this purpose.
1t is conceded that legislation chang
ing dates of District tax payments
and recognizing existing tax surplus
subject to reduction in amount If
counter claims of the United States
are established will be more practical
" effective and far less dangerous,
menacing and Objectionable in accom-
plishing the congressional pay-as-you-
go purpose than the machinery set up
by amendment 1.
Why not, then, amend amendment
1 by inserting in it now the tax date
change and limited recognition of the
existing surplus, modifying in con-
formity with this amendment the
threatening new tax surplus pro-
visions?

Strawberry Shortcake.

Like SO many other of our great
American institutions. the strawberry
shortcake appears to have lost the
glory that gave it the true loyalty Of
all American patriots.
All, the strawberry shortcake of
that old day! There was substance to
it. Substance and richness. And 1t
came to US in hunks" Its trimmings
were of delicate and artistic work
and it's inward parts Strawberries.
There is no record of the discoverer
of the sponge cake device that came
into fashion In later years and crowd
ed the real strawberry shortcake out
of the scheme of American cookery.
But we all know how it came about.
1t came one busy day when an Amer
lean housewife was not looking for
company, and company came. Com
pany came when the house was all
cluttered up and it was near dinner
time and there was nothing at hand
in the way of desert except some left
over sponge cake-and strawberries.
We know that's the way it happened
in the beginning, but we don't know
when.
And then. the biscuit" shortcake
The little baking powder biscuit that
is put down in a sauce dish and has
strawberries Sprinkled about it, spar
ingly. ITS just the same as the old
fashioned shortcake," we are solemnly
informed, "but the biscuits are smaller"
But we are not to be deceived. The
biscuits are smaller. we are willing to
admit, and as to the composition We
pass no expert opinion. But they are
also dry and uninteresting as compared
with the old fashioned substance that
formerly was the foundation, framework
and corner stone of the shortcake that
came down to US with the flag and the
Constitution and free schools and the
homestead act.
If this be treason let the modern
strawberry shortcake advocates make
the most Of it.-kansas City Star Gnde-

TIME recent series of destructive
fires which visited Washing
ton, including the two Treas
ury Department roof fires. the
.confagration in the New Willard Ho-
tel and the blaze at the Portland.
have called renewed attention to the
necessity for fire prevention.
City dwellers become so used to
matter of-course way Of living. under
the protection of police and fire de-
partments. their streets cleaned for
them and collections made at their
back gates for trash, and garbage.
that they sometimes forget the part
they should play in the community.
Granting that all departments of
city government function to perfec-
tion, there yet remains much for the
average citizen to do in cooperating
with the various agencies that help
to make his urban life clean, COM
Portable. and safe.
1t takes a series of more or less de-
Structive fires to bring home to many
the necessity for individually en-
gaging in fire protection. Last WIN
ter it took an almost unprecedented
snowstorm to show many why they
should take up the snow shovel.
Let a city fire department be as
efficient as is that of the District,
there still remains much for the av-
erage citizen to do in preventing
fires. After all. prevention is bet
ter than cure in this matter. as in
all others. Even as modern medicine
is coming around to a serious cam
paign throughout the nation to pre-
vent illness. rather than cure it after
1t occurs. SO city may campaign
strenuously to prevent fires before
they break out.
The responsibility Of the individual
man. woman or child. therefore, is
the crux of the matter. Until,
through educating the public in every
way possible to the necessity of such
prevention. the average person is
made to be always on the watch for
incipient fires and actively thinking
about them, community is not true
to itself along these lines.
What greater abSurdity, for In
stance, than allowing carelessly
thrown match to set fire to a great
building and then calling out half
the fire-tighting equipment of a
man who threw the match might
have prevented the whole thing?
y X X
The case requires no argument.
By law enforcement, public co-opera-
ton in education along these lines
and ceaseless thinking about the
matter. fire-prevention work can be
extended from the public forests.

Duty of Every Citizen to Help
Safeguard City Against Fires

where it plays great part. and
placed at work in every city.
When this is done Washington and
every great city of the country can
reduce fires to a minimum. Thus a
fire department will become sort
of fire insurance. seldom needed, but
there ready for the emergency. There
will always be fires. But there need
not have been that second fire on
the Treasury roof; the disastrous
willard Hotel fire might have been
prevented as easily as nOt-at least
from the standpoint of the average
citizen: the Portland fire seemed un-
necessary. ..-..
Three great responsibilities attach
in fire prevention. They are:
!. l. Individual responsibility.
2. Municipal responsibility.
3. Newspaper responsibility.
The individual responsibility must
ever come first. Usually one person
sets a place afre. 1t takes many
times one to put it out. If the per-
son who starts the fire in the first
place had thought about 1t. he could
have prevented it. 1t is up to him."
therefore.
He must he made to see the neces-
sity for preventing fires, for thinking
about what he does with his smoul-
dering cigaret, or used match: he
must he trained to examine all rooms
before he leaves them: he must be
taught to instruct employees to be as
careful as himself.
Because the individual, 100000 of
him in Washington, is the true and
only ultimate preVentor of fires in the
last--or firSt-analysis, 1t is therefore
the great duty as well as privilege of
the municipal government and the
newspapers to cooperate in plans for
instructinE him.

firemen are stationed at them.
