WHAT 1T COST

TIME statement OF expenses filed by clifford
i Pinchot and his campaign committee
indicates once more that II takes great
deal of money 10 contest for nomination
in the primaries The total sum spent
according 10 the report filed in Harrisburg,
was S129.34l All hut about $1,000 OF this
sum was contributed by Mr., Pin"h"t and
members Of his family.
This considerable sum vas spent Iegtt.
mately The largest single item was Sll 900
for sending out postal cards. More than
$11 900 was spent in getting copies of the
list of 1000 900 voters in the state, and
$4,000 was spent for printing.
Mr.. Pinchot and his friends conducted
the campaign with much greater economy
than was shown by tn" supporters OF Mr.
Alter. 1t is generally reported that 81 800
600 was spent in behalf of the defeated
candidate. Money was used freely In Pitts
burgh and there was no lack Of funds in
This city.
II one ignores the expense. It can be
admitted that the primary system has JUS
tihcA Itself as it has resulted in the nomi :.
nation of n candidate through the free Cx-
preston of the will OF the voters. 1t is an
open question whether Mr.. Pinchot could
have been nominated in an old ia shioned
convention. He would have had To COM
mand n ma jority of the delegates. and dele.
gates are usually chosen by the men who
have control Of the party machinery.

WAITING FOR EUROPE

FTNllE disposition In this country to regard
L the act of treaty ratification by the
United states as tantamount to compile
tion of contract has naturally diverted
popular attention from the status of the
Washington Conference agreements with
respect to the foreign Powers involved. A
treaty which survives the American Senate
is deemed proof against the arrows of mis-
fortune.
While there Is perhaps some justification
for this view. the fact remains that the
washington compacts nre imperative until
approval is duly registered abroad
1t Is OF record that Europe once wa tied
with considerable patience for a final and
authoritative American decision concerning
the Treaty of Versailles. In the reversal
Of the situation there is food for reflection
even though the inversion of circumst anccs
is not sufficiently exact to serve the pur
poses of rctrbutivc irony.
There are trustworthy indications that
this treaty tale is going to end right after
the other Powers have duly exercised their
privileges Of dclberation. China alone Of
the signatory foreign nations has acrcl :.
Grated its legislative machinery by sane
tioning the nine Power protective pact. The
remaining Governments have been some.
what lcthnrsic.
There IS now. however. welcome evidence
that they are about to work toward n COM
mon goal. The Conference treaties we're
placed before the French PariamG yester =
day. Battalions of death are not sighted in
that body. but it Is considered likely that
the principle Of reservations will be invoked.
reservation similar to the one offered
by Senator Brandegee and adopted by the
Senate is anticipated in connection with the
Naval Treaty. and 1t is limited thar the
Root resolution barring the use Of subma t.
rines against merchantmen will be enlarged
to include an exact definition of that class
of ship. Four or FIVE weeks are expected
TO be consumed in reaching n vote.
Great Britain. it is said. may be con
tent with the Kings signature on one of
the incidental bills necessary in England
for carving out the terms Of the agree
ments. What passes as equivalent to treaty
ratification in Britain will doubtless be &C
cepted in the same spirit by the United
States.
Ministerial upsets in Italy have been in.
terferng with prompt action on the treaties.
II is reported from Rome that the pacts
will soon be presented TO Parliament. and
similar steps are imminent In the Neither
lands. Japan and Belgium.
Reviewing the situation Americans with
memories cannot vet morally afford TO be
vexed The foreign Powers have not rushed
the treates-far from it-hut they have
not dtched them. and there Is scant likeli
hood. IN spite of possible tinkerirs. that
they will repudiato the stabilizing of Pacific
interests and those firm safeguards for peace
devised at Washington.

RAILWAY RATES AND WAGES

state Commission and the Railroad Labor
Board more even than the members OF the

been prepared by any considerable reduction
In the costs of such essentials as shelter,

Such hardships ms may follow upon a
wage cut on the railroads may be tempo
rary. Costs of living are being dragged
down little by little. But in limiting rail
road dividends to less than G per cent the
Interstate Commerce Commission established
precedent that may have permanent effects
and meanings. The railroads need credit,
They need money. But while other utilities
pay as high as per cent to investors the
rail corporations viii always find II neces

~ livercd Yesterday in the United States
and you will find a familiar characteristic
dominant in all of them. The orators dealt
almost invariably and sometimes even nohly
with tho past. Little was said about the
future because. apparently. little is thought
Of IT,
The past is fixed. 1t is justified. There
can be no question about 1t and no contro-
versy. lt requires no special talent, no
special knowledge 10 speak Of il with au-
thority. The meaning of any historic event
IS always clear in a long backward view.
The dust has settled, Experience has opened
mems eyes. But the justice and truth Of
which so much was said yesterday were not
always clearly visible TO hearten the gem
erationS that served America at the greatest
cost 70 themselves. The men who wrought
our forms of government OUT Of storm and
saved them through fire often went lone.

the future rather than TO the past.
II is the future that matters and OF the
future that we should think, If only 10 make
it worthy Of the past. Yet Il Is TOO often
the habit Of politicians and statesmen TO feel
that the patriot SIN of the Wushingtons and
Lincolns was enough TO serve America for
all time. They do not seem to know that
no man serves his country who thinks only
IN terms Of the present. that no principle is
adequate that il NOT formulated with a
view 10 the honor and strength OF the
United States of the far future. The past
Is safe. The present IS safe enough II is
