AN INCIDENT IN SELECTION

Certain mild curiosity in certain
quarters may find some qualification
in the selection by a Pan-American
Womens Conference committee Of
what it decided to be the list of the
twelve greatest women in this ceun-
try. The committee vas thought to
be an excellent one, has devoted
much consideration to the selection,
ii is said, and-so those who have
acquaintance say-have chosen list
Of honorable and somewhat distin-
guished ladies.
That the readers may, if they wish,
arrive at a conclusion as to what
they think of this rather superser-
viceable if not superfluous effort, here
are the names for consideration. We
trust the conclusion will not be less
than that the committee might have
done worse, and not having conf
dence in our ability to make better
selection, though undoubtedly in some
respects a different one, we would
let it go at that.

Is It Good News or Bad?


All the building trades unions have
signed up, except the common Ia
borers" so called. All will work A
hours a week except the painters,
who continue to refuse to work on
Saturday forenoons. On July ! the
basic journeyman wage in all trades
will be S1.10 an hour, except for the
plumbers. who will receive $1.15. and
the bricklayers and stonemasons,
who sign for SIPS, retroactive to May
l. The common laborers" stand out
for a basic rate of S2A cents an
hour.
Is this good news or bad? Opin-
iona will differ without doubt. so
far as we have been able to ascer-
tain. hardly one of the wasteful prac-
tees "the rules make possible has
been eliminated: hardly one of the
methods that make work" and in
crease costs has been abandoned. If
this be true. the public has no right
to complain; the publ, does the pay
ing, and : the public is willing to
pay. quiet will reign, at least for a
time. Prof. John r. Commons Of
the University of Wisconsin, long
known as a careful student of labor
tendencies, said recently in the
North American Review that ono of
the outstanding aspects of the pres
ent economic situation is the deter
mination of labor to accept no de-
flation below. the wartime peak of
wages. The greatest single reform
of which we just now can think
would be the substitution as the
basis for the calculation of wages Of

With these situations as they arise.
This is perplexin" one. 1t is by
no means an easy matter to bring

Just what this country will be able to
do to afford Americans the kind of

the demands Of more people. Efforts
were made to do this. Labor cooper
ated to that end. A benighted age
some may say. Perhaps the producer
did not receive all that he should, his
full share for this cooperation. In
deed, it may be admitted that he did
not. But what about this other ex-
IRENE, this reducing of efficiency, this
lowering of production. this increas-
ing of cost, this narrowing of the cir
Gle of customers, this compelling peo-
pie to eliminate the unessentials, to
stint where to do so narrows the out
look and hardens the heart and
eventually must lower the standards
of living and lessen it's enjoyment?

MAKING CLEAR THE ISSUE

Following President Harding's pro-
.nouneement In favor Of the World
Court, there came a report that he
would not attempt further to argue
the question; that having placed the
issue squarely before the public he
would let it rest there. How much
this report was based on observance
Of his attitude in the past or on a
wish that he would do this thing and
withhold his hand is conjectural.
However, it is increasingly evident
that this is not what he proposes to
DO.
We can conceive of no President
less dictatorial than President Hard
Ing. Following President Wilson the
contrast is most marked. The coun-
try needed the change. Those who
have an idea that they must be led by
someone who assumes to do their
thinking for them needed to take a
second thought. 1t will make them
better Americans.
President Harding is not going
back on that attitude, he is not de-
parting from his belief that the ex-
ecutive, the legislative and the judi
cial departments should each have in
mind the limitations of their sphere.
On the other hand, as a good citizen
and a patriotic president. he does be-
lteve it is the duty of the executive to
&cQuaint the public with the actual
aituation, the conditions to be consid-
cred and the results of his experience
and acquaintance.
This being SO he is overlooking no
opportunity to make clear the situa-
tion respecting the World Court.
Writing to the President of the Gen
sral Federation of Women's Clubs he
says:
1T IL plainly the considered judge
ment Of the country that if we are to
unite with other nations in an epoch
marking effort to establish adjudica-
ton of international differences, we
should adhere to the court, which is
already in being. That court, in it's
constitution represents the matured
thought and purpose of men who
have given most expert consideration
to the subject. 1t is difficult to believe
that a more representative, more i'm
partial or more able tribunal could be
established under any other plan.
Continuing the President added
and the news reports confirm his con-
cluslon:
1.-THE assurances which are received
in increasing numbers day by day,
leave no doubt as to the community's
mind. There is a profound conviction
that our obligation to human society
and likewise our very material inter-
est equally demand that this nation
shall give this sincere and effective
proof Of its wish to cooperate in
eliminating the causes of strife
among the nations and peoples.

SLOWING DOWN

A local florist finding that he has to
pay 30 cents each for white carna-
tions at wholesale, realizing that to
get out even. what with waste, ex-
press and all, he would have to charge
enough to cause every buyer to look
upon him as concienceless profiteer
with whom it would be more profit
able to deal, little than often, has de-
cided not to buy any more at such
prices. He will sell what he has for
Mothers Day and let it so at that.
The incident doesn't need comment
to be appreciated, but it aptly illus
trates a spirit Of resentment against
unreasonably high prices that is
Manifesting itself in many different
ways. There are other strikes than
those called by labor dictators or by
the umpire. Columbia University had
= ten million dollar building program
in, view. but owing to the high prices
for everything called for has deferred
It. Now that the average person finds
rents so burdensome that he has con-
WINGED tho landlord he can go no
higher the latter hesitates building at
costs which would make rents higher.
He realizes the sky line HAS been
reached.
Some things one must have to sus-
tain life. Some things one will have
q. A. a matter Of sentiment. and not in-
frequently it seems one will pay more
to crafty sentiment than to satisfy
appetite. The value of white carna-
lions compared with our mothers is
but an inconsiderable trife. What
the mothers have done. the sacrifices
they have made, are not comparable
with money values. The delights Of
a real home. warrant any sacrifice to
, obtain it. to build it on sure founda-
ticns. But often our mothers would
not have been the women they were,
would not have accomplished what
they wrought. had they been SO in
considerate OF values as to pay 1880
cents for a single flower because
1t happened to be the custom so to do.
. The home would not be a real one, its
foundations would not be firm, its in
, huences would not be beneficial if it
were hanged about the neck Of the
occupant like a milestone on a slip

Isolationism
~ v TribllDp)


President Harding's remark to the
effect that nobody could hold the
Presidential office without being con-
WINGED that it was impossible for the
United States to stand aloof from
the world will occasion no surprise.
IL mirrors the experience of ali our
observation-disclosures of the earliest
days of the Republic as well as those
of the most recent.
Madison and Monroe were perfectly
conscious that the United States
could not assume an attitude of de-
tachmcnt from the world. We had
finished the War of independence
and We're soon to fight the War of
1872. We had sent our navy to the
Mediterranean to chastise the Bar
barry pirates. We purchased the
Louisiana Territory and Florida and
started on our expansion to the Pa =
cific.
A state of this sort could not live
alone. 1t was never meant to live
alone. What Washington advised
was non ENHANCEMENT in the local
quarrels of Europe. not a severing of
all ties with Europe. When we
stretched out across the Pacific to-
ward Asia we were inevitably extend
ing our world relations. We origin
atcd the open door" policy in the
Far East. We want to live in friend
~ contact with all the other contin-
onts and we must live more and more
in contact with them, whether we
want to or not.
The United States is not and never
has been a hermit nation. No Amer
lean statesmen of commanding prom =
inence have been isolationists. 1t is
a delusion to think so. Isolation and
hermitage as American ideals are alb
solutely fanciful. They are the crea-
ton of gifted muscrs or eX-musers on
what never was, like William L.
Borah and Hiram Johnson.
