TIME TO CALL A HALT

Hazing and class fights in col.

point where the public should
call sudden and emphatic halt.
In 1921 young man who took in
class warfare at one of our big

fight and no trace of him could be
found. A few days ago his skele-
ton was discovered and identified

FRANCE IN LINE

Twitted because of its militaristic attitude on land and sea, France, thru it's president, has started a move to have ratified the naval limitation agreement which was one of the major results of the disarmament conference called by President Harding, For al most a year the agreement has been pigeon holed in the French Foreign Office, having already been ratified by the United States, Great Britain, and Japan, three of the parties to the treaty.
 If is evident that France is discov ,ring that its attitude in dealing with problems of primary interest ill restor- ing normal conditions of peace, has alienated much sympathy throughout the world. When some gestures were made at the Washington conference 10 take up the matter of limiting land a-maments, an impassioned address, setting out the French position put an effective quietus to the suggestion But since the position of France "ith regard to naval questions is different from her land status, the delay in rat flying the naval treaty has aroused susnicion of Frances good intentions. - In spite of the general gloom which sr,rrounds the whole European Sllud- ton however, only a confirmed pes simist fails to descry on the horlzoh' a prospect of improvement during tue new wear. The action of France ln tax irs m the naval treaty is but one move in the direction Of Improvements AS soon as Paris approves the agree rnent Italy will do likewlse' Hat rrance is not only seeking to regain ground lost in the worlds good oplh- ion by asking affirmative action on the naval treaty shows that the states men of France see how important u IS tbst if have the friendship of other 'na lions and also that they see a rl1t III the world clouds that gives promlse oi sunshine.
 The two great immediate questions remaining to be solved are hohen'' ous They concern German separauons and the near East. Both hold grave possibilities. And France is country which will have much to say regard ing their settlement. But neither she nor any other countries wants another armed conflict.
 Ratification by France of the naval treaty. though by no means a surety of peace, will be a step ln the sehei "' direction of peace.

If placed side by side they would reach for twenty two miles. oi the total 60 per cent are born or iofe- ign parents. Which brings us face to face with the question of lmmlgratlon' Most of New York's late foreign pop ,,,otion is from southern Europe. It does not contribute the most deslraDie hlood for the new life of the republic IT is partlv for this reason that there has been during the past few years growing demand for more dastlc re- striction in immigration. The natlon benefits by an infusion of blood rom the Nordic races, which contributed chiefly to ou increasing population un- til afte the beginning of the present century. But the preponde1ance or 1H- migrants from the Balkan states ana other narts of southern Europe, where most of the immigration has been com ing from in the last ten or twenty wears, raises a racial problem which we cannot afford to ignore. The lm- migration question is, one of vital i'm po7tance to the future of the country. Restriction at least for the time De' ing, is in part key to the solutlon' Subsequently, we will have to develop some means of selection, for ii slxty per cent of the new babeis in the na- tion's largest city are born of foreign pa-ents we should have something to say about where the parents come from.

 Baptists of both Virginia and Alabama are this year celebrat- ing the hundredth anniversary of the organization of their state convention and both states will be able to report marked develop ment in every phase of their work during the century of organized effort.
 One hundred years ago there were only about forty thousand Baptists in Virginia, both white and colored, including one thou sand in what is now West Vir- ginia, but today there are 207,9l5 white Baptists affiliated with the general association and 272,OS5 negro Baptlsts, making a total of 4SO,000 members all told an in crease for the century of 1900 per cent.
 In Alabama the growth has been even more marked. One hundred years ago there were five thou sand Baptists in that state, but today the number of 500, ,000, an in crease for the century of 12,000 ger cent. Of this total number 330,000 are negro Baptists, 100000 are white Baptists cooperating with the state convention, and 15,000 are unaffiliated with Bap- lists.
 Virginia Baptists will hold their anniversary session at Richmond the second week in November, while those of Alabama gather at Montgomery at the same time. Leaders in both states sare chal- longing the Baptists to mark their anniversaries by bringing on their payments on the 75-million cam paign.

He was the good soldier who, do- ing what he was told to do, knew how to stand. He did not break out into insurrection; he did not disobey or fail to obey orders.
 Did we at home learn how to stand? We bore with cheerfulness every burden and sacrifice which the war imposed. But since its close, how many of us bear bur- dens cheerfully-make sacrifices gladly? How many of us are willing to await the slow opera tion of orderly processes to cor rect grievances under which we suffer? How many of us are leav- ing our posts of duty to engage in insurrections against constituted authority? All this may have no effect upon the life of the repub- lie SO long as it simply has to do with the relations of one man to another. but 1t is calculated to have tremendous effect when it has to do with our relations to the republic itself. This govern ment cannot endure if maintained by force. We may call it de- mocracy. but it will not be such. We must get back to the attitude Of the Civil War soldier. We must remember Paurs supreme test of a soldier-his ability to stand. This government of law and order rests upon the judgment and con science and conduct of each indi- vidual citizen. whose duty to his government demands a willingness to suffer grievances until they can be fectified lawfully and a devo- tion as though fits fate depended upon him.

PEOPLE SHARE BANK LOSSES

.., Some people may look upon de-
 Hkauding banks through forgeries or
 check alterations as good joke on
 the bankers, or at least as of no public
 concern. When it is learned, however.
 that last year the banks of the coun-
 try were thus defrauded of fifty mil
 lion dollars, which represents a loan
 able capital at least ten times as great '. and possibly twenty, the matter as- ssumes another aspect. If the banks are defrauded of fifty million dollars, more than fifty millions of loss must ] be absorbed in their operations and calculated in their interest charges, so that in the final analysis not the banks but the patrons of the banks lose the money.
 " Protective customs and devices have experienced great development within the past few years, but it seems that there is always some way for the shi4cwd criminal to evade most of them. Prosecutions and convictions serve also to retire many criminals Temporarily from their expensive ac- tivity. For example, since last Au- ] pust, 363 persons have been arrested on charges of defrauding or robbing : banks. of which 154 have been con
