HANDING THE WOMEN A LEMON

Their constant drumming that one string indi-

women the conspicuous isolation OF this instance
which they perssently emphasize only focuses at

SAVING THE STATES HONOR.

From the Washington Post.
1t is rather sad commentary on
the functioning powers Of govern
ment that the only means by which
justice possibly may be obtained in
connection with the Herrin, ILL.,,
outrage Of recent date seems TO lie
with organizations of citizens prim-
arily having nothing to do with such

same connection, apropos OF Presi-

Chamber of Commerce expressing
interest in the activities of that
association designed 10 bring about
the detection and conviction Of the
Williamson county criminals, that
the only congratulations on such
effort since the outrage occurred
have been addressed to voluntary

charged with enforcement of the

The powerlessness of the Federal
government TO act in the matter was
regretfully set forth by the President

Far more important is It for union

grave peril to all organized labor in

see It.
That peril lies in the continued

ton to antagonize the world by such
course. II has already shaken
confidence IN the sincerity of its
championship OF permanent peace
by maintenance OF armaments on a
larger scale than Is warranted by
need for protection. Its record at
the Washington conference showed
opposition to the armament limita-
hon movement that further weak
eed confidence. The repeated saber
rafting in which II has since In
dulged has intensified distrust thus
engendered. Before Journeylng too
far on a course that threatens to
isolate It from the rest of the world,
the French would do well to reckon
the ultimate loss-and revise their
policies with view to conforming
more nearly to the obvious demands
of the International situation. Eu
rope has no room for a bully. If
France expects the nations tamely
to submit to its military domina-
tion, II has evidently misread the
signs OF the present. If 1t counts on
acquiring permanent power by pur-
suing militaristic policies and ag
gressively enforcing its views, it
has poorly learned the lesson taught
by the experience Of other nations
that have tried this dangerous
route.

Evidently there is no disagreement
in Washington as to the absolut'
necessity OF a commission to investi'
gate the coal industry. The differ
ences OF opinion are only on de-
tails.
Senator Borah's bill. introduced
on April 20. calls for a commission
OF three members. one to be sug-
gested by the National Coal Asso-
citation, one by the, United Mine
Workers Association and one ito be
appointed as representing the pub
lio" and ito be in no wise interested
in a business way with the coal in
dustry."
IL is understood that the Presi-
dent prefers a commission in which
the public would be more strongly
represented. In the commission
proposed by the Borah bill the Com
missioner representing the public
would have to vote either with the
Commissioner representing the mine
owners or the Commissioner sug-
gested by the miners.
The winslow bill, drawn by the
chairman of the House Committee
on Interstate and Foreign Com
merce. would create a commission of
not more than nine members, none
to be associated with the coal busi-
ness. Perhaps the Presidents idea
of a commission Of five viii be the
basis of a happy compromise be-
tween the Borah and Winslow bills.
This would permit Of a larger rep
for the consumer.
It seems certain that Congress- by
creating a commission with full in
quiry powers, will open the door TO
thorough knowledge of a business'

Premier Poincare's statement Of
French policy relative to repara-
tons is pitched in a key that is
stridently out of harmony not only
with British views but with the
best economic thought Of the world.
Germany must pay for ravages
( wrought, he declares. If Il refuses
to do so, compulsion will be in order.
II that nation does not meet in
demnity terms as now fixed or II
creditor control over the state
mines of the Ruhr and national for
ests Is not accepted as morator-
ium condition. then France will
proceed to enforce payment-joint-
ly with other creditor nations, II
they agrees Independently, it they
do not. In view OF Great Brltain's
determined opposition to the
French view, the Premier's state
ment is virtually an ultlmatum
coupled with threat. If the British
government does not scrap its in
demnity policy and accept the
French proposal. France will scrap
the existing entente-and go It
alone.
The position thus taken by France
tends to inJure rather than help It's
cause. Outside OF that country, eco
nomic opinion is generally agreed
that assumption of control over
mines and forests as a means of
collecting indemnity would be i'm
practical and overcostly and that
attempt to enforce reparation terms
as they now are would be danger
Gus. The execution of the French |
plan would not only imperil Ger
many's stability by increasing in
ternal stress under which It is al |
ready totterlng, but would imperll |
nations-which. to a certain de-
gree. is dependent on the stability
of that country. 1t addition II would
subject relations between France
and dissenting creditor nations to
strain.
The voice with which France
urges itse enforcement proposal Is
that OF Just creditor. bent only on
what is its due but the
hand that It shows-and with
which It would carry through-is
that OF a militant nation, power
fully armed and determined, re-
gardless Of opinions and rights OF

folks from taking vocational train
ing and will rob many boys and girls
of chance to go to college. Farm,
ers living miles inland from shore

that have been poor producers havd

The charge by the State poiicd
that exorbitant prices have beer|
charged is denied, not by the farm
ers, but cottagers and tourists thai
patronize the stands. They point ID
the fact that prices are lower thar
at resort stores. and that the vegeta
blee and fruit are fresher. The cotl
tagers will join in the protests of thd
farmers.
