Lady Astor Speaks.

Lady Astor, speaking of her nation
ality, says she is fifty-fifty. She re-
fers to the fact that while she is now
British subject, and even a member
of parliament, she was "bawn in old
Virginny" and remains a Virginian
still. 1t may also be recalled that she
is the wife of son of that New York
Astor who cast off his American citi-
zenship and later purchased a peerage
by liberal contributions from his Amer
ican dividends to the Tory party. But
perhaps thHt does not disturb the ra-
10. So Lady Astor is fifty British
aad fifty American, speaking senti-
mentally, if not legally.
We were going to be enthusiastic
over this proof of the durability of our
Americanism even when subjected to
the tests of popularity showered up
on this vivacious lady. 1t is refresh
ing to think that we can export n
hypenate or two; that even in the
house of commons there is a hyphen-
atcd American, or, as we ought to
say, perhaps a hyphenated Briton.
Most Americans who live abroad are
unsatisfactory hyphenates. Perhaps
here is ore, we thought, who will give
the old country (meaning the U. S. A.
an even break. Fifty-fifty is better
than we dared to hope.
But Lady Astor proceeded to con-
fess that az wish from the bottom of
my heart that America was at Genoa. ("
Upon which we know that Lady
Astor is true to form as the American
expatriate runs year after year. Lady
Astor affects Americanese. May we
say in our language that her fifty
fifty is the bunk? Even a so per cent
American would never have the heart
TO wish us at Genoa. As for her as
sertion that "the whole world looks
to America for moral lead" it is the
sort of thing that makes the average
American put his hand on his watch.
Lady Astor says America will have
to 20 to Europe yet" She seems to
have overlooked the fact that America
has been to Europe once.-Chicago

Argentina Soaks Foreigners.

Any foreign company wishing to
write fire insurance in Argentina must
deposit with the Argentina Govern
ment the sum of about s125,0O0; If
both fire and marine insurance, about
$4,000. In addition, the registra-
tion fees and annual license fee of for
eigners engaging in insurance in that
country are high. Argentine compan-
les are not required to deposit with
the government, the taxes are low, and
the annual license fees less than one
half those charged foreigners. What
howl would go up in this country If
any such attitude were taken against
foreigners writing insurance here.
When we attempt to save the laborer
his wage and the capitalist his mill by
discriminating against foreign goods
through the medium of a protective
tariff, what n world of propaganda
against the idea is let loose, paid for
by importing interests and certain in
ternational financiers.

WASHINGTON NOTES
No Remissions.

Word from Genoa is to the effect
that European nations are planning to
lump all their war debts and then ne
gotiate with the United States. If
pooling of European liabilities to this
country will make their liquidation
easier we can have no possible OBJ
lection TO such course, but the plan
must not include any suggestion for a
remission of the debts. If it does it
is not matter for negotiation with
the United States. Our foreign debt
commission is specifically directed not
to remit a dollar.

SPECIAL SESSION CLOSES
Does Work in Eleven Days and Does
1t Well-BOth Bills Completed.

Denver, May Next to its accom-
plishment of bringing to an end in
dustrial strife in Colorado and putting
the state on firm law and order basis,
the passage of legislation for construc-
ton of the Moffat tunnel and for flood
prevention in Pueblo probably will be
regarded by future generations as one
of the most important achievements of
the present republican state admins
tration.
As Governor Shoup said in his fare
well message to the special session on
Saturday, its action marks a new era
in the progress and development of
Colorado" The two measures, the
governor declared, were in the form
most acceptable to those chiefly in
terested; amendments made by the
legislature merely removed "some OBJ
jectionable features" and did not al
ter their intent and purpose.
Some facts concerning the special
islative as well as executive branch
of the state government are imbued
with the republican policy of efficiency
and economy in the administration of
the peoples business.
The assembly was in session only
eleven days, a remarkably short time
when the intricacy and far-reaching
effect of the proposals. discussed are
considered.
Every expense not absolutely neces-
sary to the conduct of the session was
eliminated. Members of both houses,
none of whom drew pay for his work
during the session, cut the list Of as
sembly employees to the bone. Door
keepers, assistant sergeants-at-arms
and a number Of others whose work
was not considered entirely essential,
were taken of the payroll; the ex-
penditure of both houses for employees
was less than half the sum usually re-
quired during legislative session.
Knowing the importance of the two
measures to two great sections of the
state, no attempts at filibustering or
other methods intended to delay work
of the session were made by those op-
posed to their passage. Some idea of
the task accomplished by the legisla-
tors is given by the fact the Pueblo
bill, which had to be read twice in full
in both house and senate, took more
than three hours to be read once. De-
spite these difficulties members of the
legislature accomplished their task in
the shortest time possible for thoro
consideration of the measures.
To prevent the session going into
third week, with additional exjense
to the taxpayers, the house went into
night session when it was seen that
the senate had proceeded farther in
its task.
Legislators proved that they placed
loyalty to the state and desire to
serve the people above selfish interests
by the manner in which they answered
the governors call to attend the ses-
sion. Thirty-three of the thirty-five
members of the senate were in attend
ance. One of the members of the
house died since the last session. and
three were kept away by illness; the
other sixty-one appeared at the cap
itol in response to the call.
