Lewis's Blunder

John J. Lewis hurt the miners
cause by not AZ once accepting the
Presidents plan for a strike settle
ment. On the fundamental PROPOSE
ton Of a national rather than a re-
gional settlement the President Of
fered him what he has struggled for.
To have accepted. therefore. even If
minor details were not as he wished
them. would have given him great
victory. The operators would have
been compelled TO cspitulate at once.
But Mr.. Lewis unwisely sought TO
dictate minor terms. Perhaps ques-
tions Of union politics made it impos-
sible for him 10 do otherwise. The
radical elements in the union are
ever ready to attack him II he shows
signs of reasonableness. The unjus-
tihable fear Of arbitration so widely
held in union circles perhaps re-
strained him.
But this does not alter the fact
that by rejecting the Presidents pro-
posal he has lost an opportunity to
serve his cause and his country.
II is 10 the interest Of the miners
to have a national wage scale. II is
to their interest TO see a nation
wide investigation Of the industry
and recommendations for its mod
ernization. Regional settlements are
their enemy.
Had Mr.. Lewis shown the wisdom
Of his predecessor, John Mitchell,
and accepted without haggling the
Presidents proposal the miners
would have won. II is, perhaps, not
too late for him to make up some Of
the lost ground. BY reconsidera-
ton Of his refusal and a prompt ac-
ceptance Of the Presidents original
proposal the miners may still be able
to bring about a sensible settlement
by forcing those operators who are
still recalcitrant TO follow their ex-
ample.

OIL Upon the Waters

William MeFee, author Of Gas
uals Of the Sea" and other sea
stories, whose life is spent in travel
ing between New York and Central
American ports as engineer Of a
fruit steamer, writes TO The Trib-
une to explain why ships dump
refuse oil upon the waters. He alb
solves ship owners and masters Of
any desire TO spread filth along the
shores and bays, and explains that
the oil is pumped out when bilge-
water is being emptied or when oil
tanks which have been filed with
water for purposes Of ballast are
being cleaned before reflling with
oil. AS heavy penalties are pro-
vided for emptying in harbor, the
ships dump, as Mr.. McFee puts it,
"as near port as possible" and he
adds that "it might not be safe to do
this a hundred miles out"
Mr.. McFee knows whereof he
writes. AS an engineer he under
stands the technical difficulties Of the
problem, and his explanation will

Unsuspected Wealth

One Of the courts has now under
consideration a question whose set

portance TO the human race. A
young man whom a dentist, through
an error or an oversight, deprived
Of a good tooth has brought suit
for $4,000 damages because of is
loss.
There are in the average persons
jaws thirty-two permanent teeth. II
each Of these teeth is worth $4,000
the average persons mouth alone
contains $4,000 in ivory. With
out doubt his feet arc worth as
much as his teeth. and even his

More Truth Than Poetry

Words and Deeds


A number Of statesmen ! know
Who loudly complain Of their
lots
And say they are yearning TO 20
Back home 10 their lowly
thatched cots.
But as soon as election day hovers
in sight
They're beseeching political
galleries
Once more with their ballots TO
give them the right
To stick 10 their jobs-and
their salaries.
I know Of an eminent judge
Who says with a serious face
That it's simply the veriest fudge
To say that he likes his high
place.
He says that the bench has no
dignity now,
That men make a mock and a
scof Of IL,
But. listening 10 him, I'm certain
somehow
That a crowbar could not pry
him of Of IL.
seldom have heard Of a man
Elected TO work for the State
Who does not talk much Of plan
For a home with a rose-cov-
cred gate,
Or a green grassy farm or a spot
by the shore,
In a kindly and sunshiny lati-
tude,
Where he might end his years,
and be troubled no more
By the peoples disgusting in
gratitude.
But though there is not any law
Compelling these statesmen to
stay
In the jobs they have got or to
draw
Their pitiful. beggarly payi
Though they always insist that
but little they prize
The honors these offices bring
10 them,
And that public careers they pro-
foundly despise,
They calmly continue 70 cling
10 them.

Paying Germany's Score

German protestations Of inability
TO pay seem at last to be finding a
response which can be measured IN
francs, pounds and dollars. Dis
matches from Paris report the be-
ginnings Of an agreement by which
Great Britain is TO assume a consid-
cradle portion Of the debt due from
Germany 10 France.
Ever since the conclusion Of the
peace British policy has aimed at a
reduction Of the reparation burden
Justly put on Germany This Of
fensive has taken many forms. But
IL has been persistent, often ins'd-
ious and highly effective. The repara-
ton total has been steadily whitfield
down in spite Of Frances desperate
resistance. Even after the accept
ance by Germany Of the ultimatum
of 1921, British opinion continued
skeptical Of Germany's ability TO
pay and friendly TO the idea Of let
ting Germany escape her war
penalties.
il would be extravsgant TO think
that Great Britain disbelieves in the
righteousness Of the judgment rem
dered against Germany or that she
is ready to offer hand TO the Reich
out Of mere altruism and brotherly
kindness. The Lloyd George govern
ment is not at all conscience-strick-
en-. 1t does not regret Germany's
punishment. But it holds that the
penalties assessed against Germany,
though justihsble. do not pay. They
do not pay because they prevent an
economic recuperation Of Germany,
by which Great Britain would profit.
Up TO now Great Britain has
sought 10 induce France to assume
the cost of a reduction Of repara-
tions sufficient to put Germany on
her feet. France naturally has
baked at doing this. Finally, to Sc
cure relief for Germany and for her
own European trade interests, Great
Britain has come TO the point of Of
fering to shoulder some Of the cost.
She now says she will remit Frances
war debt to her, amounting to about
s3,000,000,000, and transfer TO
France her % per cent interest IN
German reparations IL France will
consent 20 reduce the total OF
the German indemnity by $780,
100000.
This offer may prove too one
sided for the French. Yet It repre-
sents a step toward a practical bal
nncing Of French and British inter
ests In any Continental readjust-
ment. It Is only fair that Great
Britain should compensate France
for a revision Of the Versailles
Treaty TO the profit of Britain as
well as Of Germany.
The United States sees no reason
for challenging the justice Of the
reparation settlement. We would
not cancel any Of our war debt TO
help an unrepentant and whining
Germany. But II France and Great
Britain can come to an agreement
to scale the debt, TO their joint ad-
vantage, it is not for US 70 inter
pose objections.

The Ways of Red Tapists

George f. Taylor was an honest
postal clerk at Richmond, Va. In
1911. accused Of stealing $50, he was
dismissed from the service. At his
trial the indictment collapsed and
the prosecuting officer asked for a
verdict Of "Not guilty"
Was the innocent Taylor rein
plated? He was not. He asked twice
for back pay and a chance TO go
back; but both times he was refused
t-once under Hitchcock and once un-
der Burleson. President Harding,
whose sympathies with men as men
are lively, was at pains, when Mr..
Hays brought the case to his notice,
10 write a special order Of reinstate-
nent.
Then came the crowning act Of
farce. The job was regained on No
sembsr 16, 1921, but in two weeks
hs possesscr was discharged on the
kroupd that he had become over age.
When the glad news came that an
unjust stigma had been removed
from him Mr.. Taylor had quit
place where he was earning $40
month, and he now finds himself idle
and in extreme poverty. His case is
temitted to the Court Of Claims.
Why do administrative heads
ytruggle TO avoid righting palpable

DAMON AND THRoCKMoRToN
The Very Rev. Tobias Toake. Of ST.
Plimpton's, Tittlebury, Notts, England
has. according to a letter just received
by his daughter, Tabitha, been week
ending very pleasurably at Kamp Kush.
Dean Toake and Mr.. Cush discovered
that they were twin souls on the oc-
casion Of Mr. Cush's last trip across
the pond. They are both outdoor men.
Indeed, II was by reason Of what Mr.
Cush termed an Outdoor accident that
the two met. The Dean, after an
exhausting meeting Of the Anti-Impure
English League. which assemblies every
year IN London. had procured soft
cushioned punt, a tea basket and a
COPY OF "Barchester Towers" and was
being gently punted up the Thames
when he became suddenly conscious OF
cries for help.
As I cast my eyes In the direction
whence these cries arose. he ex-
plained. Il was conscious OF a gentle
man, quite one Of ourselves, but np-
parently unused 20 the punt, stranded
on a sand bar IN mid-river.'
The Dean rescued Mr. Cush, and so
strong was tho affinity between the two
that the Dean felt II his duty to wire
his daughter, Tabitha. that he had been
detained on urgent business and would
spend two extra days In London
stretching the arm Of friendship to
our American cousin"
This month Mr. Cush had the great
Pleasure Of illustrating 10 tn, Dean
that. contrary 70 the opinions Of Mrs.
Asquith, some American men arc

Cush 20 accompany him 20 tho meet
ings Of the Society for Preserving the
Past, Of which the Dean Il at present
the distinguished president, and even
persuaded him 10 say a few words at
the close Of ona Of the sessions.
Much Of the week end at Kamp Kush
was passed In the recital Of these few
words with fitting interpretations by
the Dean. when Mrs. Cush finally
waved farewell 10 the two. on their
way TO the great meeting, she sighed,
and as she once more took possession
Of the only comfortable chair, which
the Dean had consistently occupied
during his sojourn, said;
