One of the reasons which enabled
the British cabinet to decide so
quickly on its ultimatum to Germany
in 1914 was the consciousness that
the British colonies would COOP
crate without question. There have
been many signs during the past
year-since it has become permissi BILE
to question the wisdom of going to
war-to indicate that not in this
generation can British cabinet
safely go to war without first finding
out how the colonists feel on the
subject.
The Australian labor party, a group
of great power in that land, has come
out fatty against many of the meas
ures which militarists have held abso-
lutely necessary. 1t is against COM
pu1Sory military or naval service. 1t
believes that no forces should be
raised to serve outside Australia
and that the commonwealth should
take no part in overseas wars except
by the decision of its people.
There is strong sentiment in
Canada to the effect that if Canadians
are to be slain in foreign fields in
another war it would be good form
for the old country to get Canada 8
consent before getting into posi-
ton from which fighting is the only
way out.
Judging by the small news items
which filter in from Egypt and In
dia, and the treaty which has been
offered to Ireland, it would seem
that the British lion would be some

Wilsonian Democracy and Missouri.

Wilsonian Democracy and Missouri.
Missouri will give an answer this
year to the question concerning the
strength Of the Wilsonian democracy.
The test will come in the race for
the democratic nomination for United
States senator. Breckenridge Long, an
assistant secretary of state under Mr..
Wilson, has announced for the honor,
while it is understood that Senator
Reed desires another term.
Mr.. Long in Office had Mr.. Wilson'S
full confidence, and is expected to re-
ceive his full support in his present as
pirations. He Is man of fortune and
can afford politics, and in the Senate
would line up. Of course, with the
members Of that body who are in SYM
pathy with the Wilson policies.
Mr.. Reed has never been in Mr..
Wilson's favor. His first trouble was
over patronage; his second over the
Paris peace treaty, with special refer
ence to the league Of nations. He made
the principal fight on the democratic
side Of the chamber on the league,
and aroused a good deal Of feeling
among the democrats Of Missouri on
the subject. His attitude and activi-
ties were warmly resented by Mr.. VIII.
son and the latter's friends, and the
feeling was increased after the defeat
of the Paris pact.

Who's Who e essas As%:
XLVI-M. Pol lie Teller

TINE Belgian delegation to the
conference on Limitation Of
arm;unent and Pacific and far
eastern questions is one of
the very few that has changed Sec
retaries since the beginning of the
sessions. It's secretary general dur
ing the first part of the conference
was M. Pol lie Teller, counselor of
the Belgian embassy in London. Re-
Gently he was changed over to the
post of technical adviser to the dele
cation and his place as secretary
general was taken by M. Robert Sill
vercruys, who up to that time had
been assistant secretary general.
NJ. lie Teller is an able represents
tive of the school Of younger dip
lomats, which has been rather in
evidence at the present conference
and whose accomplishments contro-
vert the ancient axiom that gray
hairs and boards are necessary &C
compartments to wisdom. He was
born in 1879. He holds a doctors
degree in commercial science from
Louvain University, one of the most
famous seats of learning in the old
world. and has made economics and
trade relations his specially.
NJ. lie Teller was an attache of the
Belgian legation here in 1903. so that
he knows Washington and washing
tonians well. In 1916 he was charge
d'affaires at the Belgian legation in
Mexico City and witnessed the en-
livening events of that revolutionary
year in the history of the southern
republic. In 1917 he served again
in Washington. this time as secretary
of legation. He was brought over
sition of secretary general of the
Belgian delegation.
He has represented his government
at various important conferences, IN
GLIDING the interallied economic con-
ference, where he was an observer
for Belgium at the various meetings
in which Krassine, the representa-
tive Of the soviet regime in Russia,
participated.

question was at once raised whether
this was permissible under the law.
1t now appears that these initials are
those Of the sculptor who designed the
die. and it may be necessary to with
draw the entire issue as far as 1t can
be reached and substitute another
with the initials removed. While this
question Is being considered it is
claimed by some that the dollars will
not stack, or pile evenly one upon the
other without rocking, owing to a
slight excess of relief, as in the case of
the Roosevelt gold coins" Very few
people have had opportunity to test
this, as the dollar have been issued
in small lots. The Treasury should
know, however, and it is somewhat
surprising to find the first suggestion
Of trouble on the score Of stacking
coming from banking circles.
Perhaps the trouble lies with the
law, which forbids recoinage within
twenty-five years. In the course of a
quarter century those who are familiar
with the law pass on, as q rule. Few
remain who remember the exact de-
tails, but it would seem that when
ever a new coinage is decided upon it
should be somebody's business to
study the statute and to scrutinize the
design to make sure that in every par
ticular the proposed new coin COM
plies with the law. The Treasury can
not be too scrupulously careful in the
preparation and production Of the
money medium.

Outdoors VS.. Indoors.

This Is the season Of the year when
the average person inclines to stay
close to the fireside, or to the radiator,
or whatever 1t is that makes indoors
comfortable. OF all the seasons of the
year, however, winter is the one in
which the average person should give
thought to being outdoors.

No need then to think about the ne
cessity for fresh air. Nature calls one
out. In summer every door and win
dow is open, and most Of the people
are outdoors great deal Of the time.
1t may be pointed out there are very
few "colds" experienced in summer.
Even autumn sees people in the

sens put the windows down for keeps,
pile on the coal and make themselves
comfortable. If they work, all the
fresh air they get is going to the car
and back. Perhaps they are not out
in the open more than fifteen or
twenty minutes day.
And it is not enough. Mankind
came into being in the great outdoors,
and all the centuries have not made

a ceiling pressed down over his head.
So there come colds and coughs in
winter time.
By consciously determining to set
aside a certain time for being in the
open air these days practically every
one would pay himself dividends of
better health, especially in greater
freedom from colds. One must use
common sense, of course. A ten-mile
walk on a bitter day would be a foolish
performance for a man who is not
used to 1t.

The Place Of Penrose.

It is vain to assert that Boies PEN
rose was the last of an old line of
political bosses and that his like Will

Pennsylvania and in the United
states. These interests are alive

Mr., Adams at the Conference.

Among those present at the White
House conference Saturday night was
Chairman Adams Of the republican
national committee; and he was most
appropriately present.
The conference had to do with bust
ness on Capitol Hill. The republican
party is in power, with a mandate as
impressive as ever the American cleo
terate has issued. The majority in the
contest of 1920 is not only a record.
but likely to remain a record for years
to come, and 1t may be forever. The
voters all but made the decision
unanimous.
That mandate is now in hand, and
those charged with carrying 1t out
are beset with divisions and difficult
ties. They must get together and do
something. The time for action has
arrived.
On the strength, or weakness, of
that action the republican party must
go before the country this year. In
November next the people are to say
at the polls, "Well done; go ahead
=, with the business" or, you have
failed; give place to those who can
succeed"
Here is right where Chairman
Adams comes in. 1t will be his duty
to take whatever record Congress
makes at this session and conduct a
campaign on it. If possible, he must
show at the close Of next election day
q majority in favor Of the republican
party-show another republican Con.
eress. Then, all hands in line for 1924.
It Is not only proper but necessary,
therefore, for the generalissimo Of the
republican forces to know all the why's
and wherefores Of the preliminaries
of what later is to take shape in House
and Senate. Mr.. Harding, as the
party's leader and a thorough poll.
tician, saw the value of inviting him.

The Farm Conference.

A fortnight hence a conference will
be held in this city for the considera-
ton of the problems affecting American
farmers. About 200 delegates have
been named, representing the farming
interests and all the industries close
ly associated with agriculture. The
hope is to find out the cause of the de-
farmers are now suffering, and a cure
for that cause.
For number of years the tillers
Of the soil in this country have been
beset with many difficulties. They have
been confronted by adverse markets,
or by high prices for the materials re-
quired on the farms. When the mar
kets were good they have had to pay
so much for their necessities that their
margin Of profit narrowed to the van
ishing point. While in some sections
the farmers have prospered, as whole
they have barely made a living during
the last half dozen years.
Are the farmers profits eaten up by
those who handle his produce on the
way to the consumer? Are they alb
sorbed in transportation rates? Are
they merged into production costs,
into the prices of seed, fertilizer, ma
chinery? These are some Of the ques-
lions that the conference will con-
slider.
Cooperative farm marketing has
been tried from time to time in differ
ent parts of the country, and with a
fair measure Of success. 1t is possible
to extend the system, but this requires
organization, which Is always difficult
with so scattered an industry as agri-
culture. The farmers, however, are
better organized today than ever be-
fore. They are in closer communica-
ton by telephone and by the use Of
motors on greatly improved highways.
It is true that the farmer lives bet
ter today than he did a few years ago,
that he has more comforts. more ad-
vantages, and on the whole better
return for his labor. But he is still al
ways confronted with the narrow mar
gin between profit and loss, which in
his case is the margin between bank
balance and a debt. Moreover, very
large percentage of farmers today are
on rented land, tenants, with no fixed
interest in the soil which they are cul-
tivating. The lease system prevails
widely in some sections, much to the
detriment Of the farms, though it is
perhaps the only practical way Of
keeping large areas under cultivation
in view Of the shortage Of farm labor.
Thus the farm problem is broad in
it's aspects. It has a distinct sociology
cal as well as economic aspect. This
conference will deliberate on all
phases Of the matter, and the hope is
that it will find a line Of procedure
that will help the general condition Of
the average American agriculturist.

A Metropolitan Fox Hunt.

A few days ago a New York fur
dealer conceived the brilliant idea of
starting q fox hunt in 5th avenue as
a publicity stunt" He turned loose
a fox, with its mouth tied by strings,
in the midst of the city traffic, offer
ing a reward to whoever might catch
it. The animal, terrified by the noise
and confusion of the streets, ran hither
and thither, was trapped, then turned
loose again and finally was caught
under the wheel of truck and a leg
was broken. Then the fur dealer was
arrested for cruelty to animals and
later was fined 800 and sentenced to
stood up in court to receive sentence
did he show any sign Of approaching
the offense he had committed. The
touching Of his pocket nerve seemed to
arouse him then. Perhaps the wrong
punishment was administered. He
might have been turned loose himself
in the thick Of the 5th avenue traffic,
maybe with his hands tied, or his legs
hobbled, to take his chances with
trucks and cars. A bit of a man hunt
would doubtless have afforded New
York some fun and perhaps have
taught a wholesome lesson. The en-
terprising merchant has gained plenty
of publicity, but it is doubtful whether
it is Of the kind he really sought to
get. The craze for being noticed some
times leads to extraordinary extremes,
but after all the public reaction
against denominations can be depended
upon, for just at present this particu
lar person is one Of the most unpopu-
lar people in New York. Fox hunting
Is a cruel sport in any circumstances,
but when done as an advertising
scheme in the most congested street
Of the most crowded city in America
it is q shocking abomination.

The Conference at Genoa.

Whether this government decides
the United States shall participate in,
or merely look on, the economic and
financial conference to be held at
Genoa in March will be of vital con-
Germ to the American people. Whether
Its success be great or small, the con-
sequences will lead to every American
hearthstone, and for generation will
profoundly affect the we'll being Of
this country. Wish as we may to
hold aloof from the affairs of the Eu-
ropean nations. circumstances grow
Ing out Of the world war have SO in
separately entwined their destinies
with our own that their welfare be-
comes an immediate dollar-and-cents
question to every American citizen.
Whatever paths the European pow
ers may blaze out for themselves at
Genoa, every trail inevitably will lead
westward across the Atlantic. With
eleven billions of dollars owed by the
European governments to the govern
nlent Of the United States, and other
billions owed by the citizens of Europe
to American citizens, 1t is impossible
that there can be any reconstruction
Of European finances without taking
this stupendOus debt into account
And not only the debt already owed
but the mourning of further indebt-
edness in America will enter into the
consideration of almost every pro-
posal advanced. 1t will be gathering
of the hungry at the doors Of the
worlds one great storehouse. The
doors Of that storehouse must Of ne
cessity swing on well oiled hinges, but
it will behoove the guardians Of the
door to watch carefully both what
comes out and what goes in.
It Is an encouraging sign that the
European nations have decided to hold
the conference without having ascer-
tained in advance that the United
States would be an active participant.
It Is settled American opinion that
Europe should first attempt to help
itself before expecting further help
from this country. The American peo-
pie had become convinced that to ex.
tend further help under the conditions
which have existed since the armistice
could result in the end only in more
harm than good to Europe, and make
more remote prospect Of collecting the
billions already owed. But with the
nations Of Europe getting together in
sanity and reason, abating impossible
demands and attempting to balance
their budgets, the situation will be
changed. and it will be good business
for America to lend a helping hand.
II It is decided that the representa-
tives Of this government shall sit at
Genoa as fully accredited delegates, it
Is essential that they shall be men Of
such q caliber that they will be able
to grasp the realities Of the situation
and to cope with the wiles with which
4. will be attempted to ensnare them.
The American people will want to
help, but they will not want to be
overreached.
