Debs Again Inpudent.

Mr.. DEBs, with his customary inn
pudence, is calling for the release Of
the other violators of war laws who
were sent to prison as he was but not
let out when he was freed. II shall
insist upon their release" he writes,
cor upon my being returned to the
penitentiary with them" He adds
that if those still confined deserve
to be kept in prison with convicted
murderers | have no right to be at
large"
But DEBs is at large. thanks to a
sentimental mistake which was dis
covered as soon as the agitator got
out of prison and shouted his unre-
pentance. Perhaps he would find il
harder to get back into prison than
it was to get out. His lack of graft
tude toward the Administration
which freed him has left him in no
position to ask the favor of reincar-
ceration.
DEBs undoubtedly finds liberty
cloying. AS we are at peace he can
not urge young men to avoid military
service. Being free, he has no mar
tyrdom. A zealots life is dull when
he has no burning issue. DEBs tries
to make an issue of the continued
Imprisonment of offenders of his own
type, but the American people know
that these lawbreakers are getting
what they deserve, just as DEBs got

To THE New YORK HERALD The per-

Results of Prohibition.
Treasury Figures as Evidence OF
Law Enforcement.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD From
your news columns it appears that the
revenue under the prohibition law
amounts TO about $500. .000.0 900 for nine
months. This is approximately the
equivalent of $40 from each grown man
in the population. AS a large percent
age do not indulge in liquor at all It
doubtless means the equivalent of an
assessment OF from $50 to 500 on each
drinker. Even at this 1t represents only
a few quarts Of whisky in year.
1t is the ultimate consumer. of course,
who actually pays this huge sum of
S200,000.000. While IL Is true that he
does not pay 1t directly to the Govern
ment in the form of fines for his illegal
transactions with bootleggers. he pays
1t out all the same and it goes into
the national treasury.
Unquestionably this is the cause of
the frantic outcries that the law is not
being enforced. An unenforced law
does not produce so much emotion.
Doubtless there are few gentlemen
who are conscientiously arguing that
the law should be enforced or else re-
pealed, but the army OF their followers
is made up of men who would be
aghast st better enforcement and are
only interested in repeal.

General WI Wins a Victory

The victory of General WI PEI-FU,
Viceroy OF Honan and chief Of the
central Chinese army, appears COM
plete. The forces of his rival, Cen
eral CHANG Tso-LIN. have been driven
back toward Manchuria. from which
they recently set out on their march
of conquest, a scattered, disorganized
army, leaving much of their artillery
and munitions of war and their dead
and wounded on the field. General
WI camps unmolested at the gates
of Pekin, and the railroad to Tien-
tsin and the sea remains open, much
to- the relief of the foreigners in the
Chinese capital.
The war between these two Chi
nese leaders or supertuchuns is the
seventh since the Republic in which
some party or faction has resorted
to arms to settle in its own way the
political difficulties of the country
YUAN SHIH-KAI at Pekin and DIR. Sun
YAT-sEN at Canton both fought to
maintain themselves in power, while
the wiry old bandit, CHANG HsUN,
came very near restoring the Man
chus to the throne when in 1917 he
occupied Pekin. There was not much
bloodshed or much war In any OF
these attempts. The nearest approach
to the present conflict in severity OF
fighting was the clash in 1911 around
Hankow, when TUAN CHr-JuTs gray
wolves of the north met the newly
organized republican volunteer army.
The resistance offered by the latter
force was so courageous that the
casualties in both armies mounted up
in the few days fighting to almost
the same numbers as in the recent
struggle around Pekin.
General WI PEI-FU is the more en-
gaging figure of the two leaders and
he stands higher in the regard OF the
foreigners than his rival. He has a
rather interesting political back.

The rivalry between these two
chiefs is not ended by any means.
CHANG Tso-LIN is likely to be men

to his capital at Mukden. To accom-
plish this is WI PEI-FU's declared
aim. But even this ultimate success
and General WI PErFU's complete
control of the central Government at
Pekin would give no assurance that

government. But to bring this
about means a settlement of fac
tional differences. the ending of the
domination of the regional chiefs
and the substitution therefor Of pro-
vincial governments backed by and

The important thing is for China to
help herself. Until she does this

to place much trust In any Govern
ment which may attempt to rule at

Wife's Share in the Partnership.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Any
woman who has had the advantages
Elizabeth Jones has had In the way
of education, business training and ex-
perience and the protection and support
OF an apparently docile and uncomplain-
ing husband and who has been too lazy
and Indifferent to acquire such arts as
cooking and plain sewing should keep
her faults to herself and not bare them
TO the public.
The moment one realizes his or her
shortcomings is the time to make a
start to improve, so would suggest
that Mrs Jones dismiss her maid, that
she prevail upon her husband to add
possibly little more to his discomfort
and take his dinners in a restaurant,
and that she begin course in cooking.
1t seems a pity that a man should
be compelled to give about one-third of
his income to support a servant who
can neither read nor write and who has
no claim on his affection, when for
small expenditure of time and money
and with the aid OF a good cook book
his wife could fit herself to take rea-
sonably good care OF him, particularly
az there are no children to be looked
after. In this way she would at least
show a disposition to do her share in
the matrimonial partnership.
