HUGHES PLAN YET WATTS

About the only thing that still seems to offer the slightest chance of smoothing out the difficulty over German war damages is Secretary of State Hughes suggestion that a com- mission of disinterested financial ex- perts be formed to make an inventory of Germany's assets and decide how much it's possible for her to pay
 It is believed England, Italy. Bel gium and Germany are favorable to the idea.
 France. however, hasn't given any hint. Her break with England hard ly indicates that she will agree. Still, there's the bare possibility that she may do so, at the last minute.

The New York World speaks fighi up and uses some plain languagf about President Harding that is mol nice at ali, Under the editorial head ing "cewardiee as a Foreign Policy il quotes a letter written 10 George W. wiekersham hy Franklin K, Lane shortly after the election of 1920, This is the portion of the letter quoted,
 HaFding's danger, as l see 1t,
 will lie in his timidity He fears:
 and fear is poison which comes
 from the devils factory. Courage
 is oxygen and fear is carbon
 monaside. One comes from
 hessen--so you find Wells says
 and the other would turn the uni-
 verse back into primeval chaos.
 Wilson, be fl said 10 his eternal
 glory. did not fear.
 The editorial goes on to say lot Of really rude things about President He Is afraid to act: he is afraid not to act. He objects 10 giving him authority. but not commanding him to do something. because its passage would compel him 0 make a choice. He would much prefer. is the intimation. 10 be com- handed to do something or forbidden o do anything. The thing he fights hy of, says The World. is anything equiring decisive action or decision o refrain from acting.
 It is really reprehensible of the to say such things. Ii isn't one. you know. The idea of publish ng a statement like MT. Harding has undertaken to erect his fears into oreign policy and the results have cen disastrous" for instance. Isn't hat awful? Hasn't the President hown his courage in vetoing bonus nd pension bills and in supporting ship subsidy in spite of pretty gen. ral feeling in many quarters against lch measure?
 Of course The World is mistaken in linking that the Presidents foreign olicy is dictated by cowardice. Its aspiration is, rather, a day by day, lfer and safer slogan that makes oue's look like thirty cents, but may ot be as safe as 1t looks.

Coolidge Not An Enigma.
(New York World.)


 MT. Coolidge is grat enigma to those who office President in the Plymouth Notch farm house. He is the product of New England, true New Englander with all the down. -Easers faults and virtues all his tenacty and grim conscientious ness all his and deliberation. The country can be certain that he will do nothing rash, that he will not be sampeded into any action de- clson and that he will not be betrayed into any act of sudden folly.
 MT. Coolidge Is strange type. His go deep into the soil of the American continent. He ccmes of breed of who have been farmers life to him easy to travel but an ascent to be won by grim determination The members of the farm bloc and so-caed dirt farmers" will have nothing to boast of against this unassumng man who has become President. For, the son of a Yer mont farmer, he was helping his old father get in the hay when he came into the highest office the land. Calvin Coolidge is dirt farmer but a Trock farmer of New England born of race which blasted mountains to grow their bread He the true Vermonter should easily find real kinship with Magnus Johnson of Minnesota
 If Calvin Coolidge seems at first glance to be an enigma, it is because no one has studied his background. There is the key to his character Quiet. self-contained master of himself he un- occasionally is, with of the facie arts of the professional politician He has never been a grand stander, not even in the Boston police strike The country has no cause to worry that he is a man who change for the sake of change or dieturb for the sake of noise.

FIGHTING FIRE WIFE FIRE.

In his excellent beck, When the West Was Young" Frederick R. Bechdolt says:
 When one comes to analyze police politics
 he finds they have changed much since
 the time of the Crusades; desire for power
 has always blinded reformers to the mis-
 deeds of their followers.
 A Grand Jury indicted William II. Anderson lead- CT of the fighting forces of the Anti-Saloon League for violating two more Of the criminal statutes of New York State. end urged the Legislature of the State investigate all the League activities in that State Instead of meeting the indictments and the re- quest for investigation with invitation to look into it's books and turn the light the Ant-saloon League issued challenge 10 the Legislature, de- claring that the indictments and request for an in vestigaton constitute declaration of war upon five thousand churches and threat that the churches will defeat the polls the members of the Legisla turc who may favor investigation.
 Of course it is absurd say that the churches of New York State elsewhere would, under any cir constance, condone crime but the action of the Anti-Saloon League in refusing to make a statement showing how and from whom it had received it's inn campaign subscriptions and how and for what it had expended the money received, as the law of the State requires and in failing to meet the in- dictments and the request for investigation by declaration of welcome public searchers for facts has caused people to believe that it's political man. agers have been nduging in the practice which pariGans often justify by asserting the necessity to fight fire with fire"
 Fight fire with fire and the end justfes the means." What things committed under the cloak of these catch words, An organization is formed to destroy political machine, 10 correct evil in government or for other worthy purpose, and immediately adopts all the methods of the old ma chine CT employs criminal gain it's ends and numberless reformers the frcnt with the declaration that il is necessary to fight fire with fire or that ithe end justifes the means"
 If the end justifes the means the Tammany of Croker and his successor in boss-ship is deserving of praise. Croker became leader Of Tammany in a hght to extermnate the practice of footing public funds and driving bribery from official circles and he won the fight, though he used the political methods of Tweed to do However, Croker's record as leader was stained with indictment nor has been that of his successes notwithstanding both have been subjected to searching investigations by both hostile Grand Jures and hostile Legislatures And further. these Tammany leaders have always pre- tended, at least, to welcome investigation
 1T Tammany can wage the campaigns it does and still operate within the law and come unscatebed rom investigations by Grand Juries and Legislatures certainly the fighting forces of the Ant-saloon League should be compelled to do SO There are in dcations that the five thousand ehurches' whom the League politicians declare are behind them in challenging the investigators instead of meeting them With the facts believe so, too

 APPLY SULPHUR

Just the moment you apply Men tho-Sulpmr to an itching, burning or broken out skin, the itching stops and healing begins, says a noted skin specialist This sulphur prep aration, made into a pleasant cold cream, gives such a quick relief, even to fiery eczema, that nothing has ever been found to take it's place.
 Because of it's germ destroying properties. it quickly subdues the itching. cools the irritation and heals the eczema right up, leaving clear. smooth skin in place of ugly eruptions. rash. pimples or rough ness.
 You do not have to wait for im- proyement It quickly shows. You can get a little jar of Rowles Men tho-Sulphur at any drug store.

Secretary Mellon of the United States is now in Paris endeavorng to make arrangement whereby the French will pay off part of their indebted to the United States.
 He seems to be having a hard time in spite of the fact that the French government indiscreetly chose the time of his visit to make public tax report which shows that private wealth is not de- creasnig, but rapidly increasing in France

Public Feeling Dictator.
lSpringfield Rennhlicanl

Miss Mary S. Mcdowell is again to teach in the public schools of New York City provided that the Board of Education approves of the recommendation of it's law committed which has special report on the dismissed teachers petition for reinstatement Miss Mcdowell is Quaker The wartime loyalty pledge which New York City teachers were required to take in 1918 rejected by her as too stiff in some of it's provisions to harmonize with her religion Out she went, although she was an excellent teacher and had been giving to the Red Cross one-fth of her income.
 The committee law offers a curious justifica- tion for Miss McDowes reinstatement. It does not defend in the least her dismissal in 1918 but affirms that her excessive punishment was due to the fact that she was tried at time of great public ex- citement. Since then public feeling has undergone considerable modification. The inference to be drawn Is that, in the opinion of the committee on law this teachers reinstatement, well her dismissal hinges the state of public feeling and not pri- marily on justice. Probably this is an accurate statement of fact, regardless of the right and wrong of the case

 It should be remembered, too, that the Federal Government is the largest property owner in Alaska its ownership has been estimated from 98 per cent 99 per cent. of all the resources. Why should the Federal Governent not pay taxes this vast property? It would be expecting much ask the or ? per cent. of the property to bear the cost and produce Federal revenues also.
