GERMAN LEADERSHIP

Count Harry Kessler who made a
decided impression in this country
when he delivered a curse of lee
lures before the Institute of Poll
tics at Williamstown, Mass. last sum-
mer when he presented the German
point of view in the present world
crisis. told his audience at the time
the Cuno government was over
thrown and DIR. Stresemann was
made premier, that If Stresemann
could not succeed In restoring Ger
many there was no one in the re-
public who could.
Recent events in Germany come
pretty near proving the truth of
| Count Kessler's prediction. DR..
! Stresemann proved himself to be a
man of considerable ability. One of
his first acts was to abolish the pol
icy of passive resistance in the Ruhr.
He took France at her word in talk
ing this step, but France, having
optai1ed this advantage, refused to
negotiate with the S%treseuann gov
eminent. Had stresemann been
| given the support his actions war
ranted, however, there is good rea-
son to believe hat he would have
made good.
Evidence that he is practically
the only man under the present
regimen in Germany who can make
good is found in the inability
to get a new government organized
after DR.. Stresemann resigned. Sew
eraI prominent men were called up
on by President Ebert to organize
a new cabinet, but not T. Of them
could succeed. Finally The old CO.
alition has been reformed with DR..
Wilhelm Marx at the head. but with
Or Stresemann-"the inevitable
Stresemann," as the Deutsche Eel
tung calls him-as foreign minister.
The socialist group, which seems to
held the balance OF power In the
Reichstag. have announced that they
will do nothing to embarcass The
new government as long as the for
eign policies Of DR.. Stresamahn are
continued. 1t is plain, then, thai
Dr. stresemann 5 still the big MAI
in the republic.
He failed to get the vote OF con
fdence in the Reichstag, which he
asked for, but no n could sc
such a vote with the Reichstag made
up OF so many antagonistic factions
DR.. Marx would fall in a minute
should he ask for such a vote. The
fact that DR.. Stresemann die
go to the front and call for a show
down, being ready to stand or fal
on the outcome, proves his strength
OF character.
Germany has yet to produce
really big man to unite Its people
and restore prosperity. Stresemanr
may yet be the dellVerer of his peo'
ple,-provided anybody under a re-
publican form of government car
ever satisfy the Germans.

As 1t Appears
First Book to be
Published In New Jersey

Judge Pickersgill has a very in
teresting article on the first print
ing done in the state OF New Jersey
today. Along with the article the
Evening News publishes an illustra-
ton which Judge Pickersgill OBJ
tanned for the purpose of showing
the people of this city what the title
page of the first book published
here looks like. He had to go to
the Pennsylvania Historical Society
to get it, but he felt that the trouble
was well worth while in order to
show Perth Amboy people something
of this early printing. 1t is interest
ing that it is just 200 years this
month since this book of New Jer-
sey laws was printed here. II the
city was alive to its possibilities it
would have arranged some sort of
celebration. We are beginning to
realize what an important part this
city played in the early colonial
days. Judge Pickersgill is doing an
important work In bringing these
facts before the people.

Senator johnson has been under
stod To be opposed to any kind Of
participation in European affairs; he
! has been looked upon as one OF the
leaders of the isolation group. Yet.
in this very same speech which he
delivered in Chicago he said: ut is
u~ndeniably to the interest Of every
country that all other countries
should be prosperous and that the
world should be at peace. II the
administration at Washington, out of
it's knowledge of the diplomatic
facts, is able to see in Europe an
opportunity for American action, I
ask It to say precisely and definitely
what that action should be-" But
why does not the senator say "pre-
cisely and definitely" what action
he would take regarding the Euro
pean muddle? He admits that "our
position in the world is such, our
financial and potential powers so
great, that our u%tterance would be
of supreme Importance" That being
the case, it is naturally our duty to
do something. Having got thus far
away from the isolation policy for
which he has been noted, what
would Senator Johnson have us do?
AS long as he is appealing to the
people to make him their President,
the people are entitled to his views.
There are many who believe that
II the United States had played her
part in settling the peace as she did
in settling the war, there would not
be such a chaotic state in Europe to-
day. And these same people believe
that as long as this chaotic condi-
ton exists there can be no rea peace
for any OF us. Senator Johnson him
self having admitted this, what does
believe America should do under
the circumstances? He has got to
do something more than protest and
denounce if he is TO secure enough
votes to get elected President, or
to secure the nomination.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1:-Auto-
mobile drivers in Washington are
going to school this fall to learn how
to handle their cars more safely
and more efficiently. Once a week
free classes are held by the local
safety council. Drivers from all
walks of life park limousines, tour
ing cars, flivvers and trucks around
the school and come in to hear ex-
pert mechanics and traffic engineers
talk on safety.
Almost everybody in the national
capital pursues some pet study at
night at a university or studio. SO
the idea of conducting classes in
safe driving has proved a great
success here. The first course. tried

SMALL MINORITY DICTATES

With the opening of congress on
Monday Interest centers in the at
titude that Senator Robert M. La
Toilette, of Wisconsin, will take in
the organization OF the senate, and
how mis- Followers will act on the
important legislation that will come
up during the session. LaFollette
Is an ambitious radical. He poses
as a Republican, but he never works
with the Republicans, and he is not
In accord with Republican policies,
vet fate has put the control of con
yress. practically, in this mans
hands.
The fact that a man like LaFol-
lette Is In a position to dictate to
congress would not be so bad If he
represented the majority of the peo-
pie or the country and they were
In sympathy with his views on public
affairs. The truth is, however. that
LaFollette can speak for only a
very small minority of the people of
the United States; he does not stand
for what the great mass OF Ameri-
can people believe are true Ameri-
a principles. yet he is going to
have a great deal TO say during the
coming session of congress as to just
what laws shall be passed to govern
this country, and how they are to
be put into operation.
This powerful control of affairs
Is placed in the hands OF n man
representing a very small radical ele-
ment because of u particular form
OF government. Here we elect by
parties for a definite term. 1t so
Happens that the two predominant
parties are almost equally divided as
far as congress goes. The Repub-
Iicans have a slight majority pro-
vided all who call themselves Re-
publicans stand by the party. This
is true in both houses, but the mar
rowest margin is in the senate where
one or two votes can decide the fate
of a bill that is of a partisan ma
ture.
There are seven votes in the rad
lcal group headed by Senator La
Toilette, and these seven votes hold
the balance of power. Republican
leaders admit that they are COM
pletely at the mercy of these eve
men. We have the strange spectacle,
then, or a very small minority whose
policies are upheld by a very small
proportion of the people. forcing
their will uror the great majority.
This can hardly be called democ-
racy: on the contrary, it is an dig
archy In every sense of the word.
When the people OF the United
States send a majority of men to
CcuSiesS WIN are 'dNIS1l ~ thSii
views there is every reason t. re-
lieve that the people want radical
\ legislation, but to have seven radicals
saying what shall and what shall
not be the law is an unhealthy con
dition and presents a situation that
was never intended to be found in
this form of government.

Press Comment
Pork BarreiI and Tax Reduction

Opponents of tax reduction in con-
gress-they say there r none, but
that is hardly true-make much OF
the bonus because that proposal has
a strong support. They say moth
ing about the pork barrel, which is
anything but popular except among
those who share the pork.
Yet tax reduction will have to
fight a good fight, non the less
bitter for being less conspicuous
than the bonus debate, with the
four-horse Post Office in the one
horse town; with the foes of budget
airy cooperation in the departments;
with the hunters for jobs for in
competent men with a political pull
with the architects Of sinecures;
with log-rolling combinations for the
Improvement of waterways whose
