republic apparently has made a good
start at Aix-la- -Chapelle, and even the
skeptics are beginning to accept the
possibility, even the probability, that
the movement will spread rapidly so
as to embrace the entire territory.
The Franco Belgian authorities saw
that they do not intend to interfere
in one way or another unless there
should be disorder. Belgian officials
in Aix-la-Chapelle, where a repub-
lican proclamation was issued yester-
day. took the position of Interested
observers when separatists headed by
Leo Deckers and DR.. Guthardt took
possession Of the public buildings at
AK -Chapelle.
Signs are not lacking that the less
extreme separatist factions will sink
their differences in view of the suc-
cess already attained by the move
ment and join forces with Deckers'
bands.

6 and IL Years
For Being Drunk

Judge Mattingly in the Police
Court today established precedent
by placing Walter Gaines. colored,
pleading guilty to drunk. on six
years probation and followed that
up by placing Henry Stanard, col
ored, on twelve years probation.
Gaines said he had not been in
court for being drunk for six
years.
"All right" said Judge Mat
ingly, place him on six years
probation" The same formula was
used in the case of Stanard, who
claimed that he had not been
drunk for twelve years. Usually
such defendants are given six
months or one year probation.

and announced that the basement was

and turned in the first alarm. Before
he could return smoke was pouring
from every window in the house

to rush to the front pavement. In

stairs.
First Company Raises Ladder.
Hearing that the young woman was
still in the house, firemen from the
first engine company to arrive raised
a ladder to the second floor front
window and started up. The smoke
had become so thick that before en-

masks. A crowd watched the rescue
from points of vantage
Mrs. Hayward was assisted to an
apartment house across the street and
soon revived. An hour later she was
able to return to her home, and, IL
was stated, she suffered no serious
effects.
Scarcely had Mrs. Hayward been
carried to safety than the firemen
were notified that a casket full of
jewels worth several thousand dol
lars lay on a bureau In Mrs. Bouic's
bedroom. Once more the masked fire
fighters clambered up the ladder and
returned few minutes later with
the gems, Mrs. Bouic sought shelter

Monday and Tuesday were fully oc-

GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE

The nominee of the Republican
National Convention of 1920 was
agreed upon by small group of men
in Chicago hotel room the morning
before the balloting.
Mr.. Harding had not been the
choice of the people in those States
in which the people had been permit
tedfto vote their preferences.
He had polled a small plurality in
onlv one-Ohio-of fifteen States
that held Presidential primaries. In
aggregate, Hiram Johnson has poled
more than three times and Leonard
Wood more than two times as many
votes as he.
The convention system, boss con-
trolled, rejected the peoples favorites
and drafted the candidate whom the
money interests considered "safe." ,
1t is generally known that the de
cision to nominate the amiable Mr..
Harding was made, not in the con-
vention hall, but in a hotel bedroom
in the small hours of the morning.
The bedroom, that of George Harvey,
long an employe of j. P. Morgan &
Co., now ambassador to st. James,
was part of hotel suite paid for
by Mr.. Thomas Lamont, the most ac-
tive partner in J. P. Morgan & Co.,
bankers of the Steel Trust.
President Harding thus nominated,
has had the appointment of four JUS
tices of the Supreme Court, and may
soon have a fifth. His anpointees
have been as "safe" as his own selec-
tion was. The court for a generation
may be controlled by these conser-
vative judges whose minds are set
against progressive policies or re-
forms which they do not approve.
Mr.. Harding's court has ruled in
favor of child labor and against the
minimum wage. 1t has just created
basis of public utility valuation on
the basis Of present reproduction
cost" which adds six or seven thous-
and million dollars to the railroad
valuation on which rates must be
based.
The small group in that Chicago
hotel room looked ahead. The hired
men of international bankers and
railroad magnates usually look ahead.
That is why they so strongly onpose
direct primaries.
Until the people get power to choose
all their servants in the places Of
major responsibility and to recall
them when they are unfaithful, ours
will not be the kind of government
Lincoln intended to preserve.-Cin.
