Pressure for Peace
Lonisville Heraldl

 A restraining factor in the sit uation Is the general war weari- ness of Europe. In othersdays the probability is that both nations would have had back of them in- terested powers secretly urging them to fight. Today the pressure is better organized than ever be- fore In the worlds history. Alarmed as we are today over the dangerous possibilities of the sit uation. should the cloud pass, as we hope and believe 1t will. the incident may have its value as a contribution to international con fidence. Every escape from the ways of peace can be kept open, and will, at last become so familiar to our feet that we will turn to them as readily as we once turned to the ways of violence.

Cannot Serve Two Masters

:
 IL IS an adage, as true as 1t is old, that no man can serve two masters. He cannot serve his em- ployers as represented by the tax payers and voters, and his other employers. as represented by public utility, at the same tima. He will neglect the one and favor the other. In fact, it is unfortu- nate that such law is considered necessary If an employe of Il pupllc utility gains an office as mayor or alderman of a city, the public utility corporation itself should ask that it's employe either give up his position with the city or resign from the company's service.

Convention.

Observation-Disclosures Resident
Commissioner Jaime C. Vayra has for
mally presented 20 congress the reSo-
luton recently passed by the Philip
pine legislature asking authority to
call a constitutional convention for
the purpose of drafting constitution
for a Philippine republic. The Phil
ippine Commissioner, in presenting the
resolution, made a strong appeal Tor
the grant of independence. He re
ceived close attention of the house.
He conferred his appeal on the claim
that the congress definitely promised
independence to the II million inhaoi-
tants of the Islands in the Jones law
of August %. 1916. "as soon as sta
bic government can be established.
He stated that the specified stable
government is today actually in exist

and that therefore Congress should
now grant independence without de-
lay. i

tardy in carrying out its lottT pvrpos-
