Dogwood.

There is a considerable and a grow.
ing interest in wild flowers. A ma
tional society has the conservation of
such things as it's object, and there are
branches Of the society in many cities.
Letters come to The Star on the sub.
ject Of saving towering trees and
shrubs, and the number of letters in
dicates a widespread feeling in this
matter. A day or so ago a correspond
ent wrote: Automobiles last Sunday
were piled high with dogwood. It is
no wonder that SO little Of that beau
tiful tree is now to be seen along the
roads, for dogwood is fast going the
way Of rhododendron, laurel, pink
azalea and redbud to extermination.''
It may be set down as a rule that
persons who are interested in nature
do not destroy the things of beauty
that grow in the country; the de-
stroyers are persons who know moth.
ing Of botany, know nothing of natu-
raj history Of any kind and have no
appreciation of nature.
1t seems rather popular to affect an
interest in Towering shrubs and
plants, and some persons perhaps feel
that they are advertising their fine
feeling for nature by bringing home
from Sunday outings as many flowers
and branches Of blooming trees as

The lcams OF Florida.

Florida, in recent years made highly
prosperous by the advent of great
numbers Of northern tourists seeking
its salubrious climate during the win
ter months. is in way to lose its
gains by affronting the national sense
Of decency and humanity. Its prison
camps, lately brought into evidence
through the disclosure Of atrocities
and crimes committed in them, have
profoundly shocked the people OF other
states, as doubtless most of those Of
that state itself. Legislative inyestiga-
tions have brought to light abomina-
tions that should have been immedi-
ately met with surely corrective ac-
ton. But political considerations have
operated to check the reforms. and to-
day, with fresh disclosures coming, a
disposition seems to prevail at Talla-
hassee to temporize and compromise.
The spectacle Of men who have been
caught in petty offenses farmed out to
private individuals and concerns for
their labor; Of men and boys. regard.
less of color or condition, beaten into
helplessness and even to death; Of pub
lie officials hushed into silence; of in
fluential citizens contriving ways and
means Of continuing the abominable
practices with a thin disguise and a
show Of refornl-this spectacle has
brought the state into serious disre-
pute. And it cannot fail to injure the
commonwealth. 1t will inevitably turn
away from it many who would other
wise seek it for recreation and pos
sibly for investment and development.
The latest tales told Of the prison
farm atrocities are particularly shock
ing, for they not only reveal a f1endish
brutality, but a callousness on the
part Of many in responsible positions.
The present issue is whether the lash
is to be permitted in these camps as
q means Of maintaining discipline. On
the one hand, it is contended that only
through corporal punishment can the
convict workers be kept in order and
at work. On the other hand, it is
urged that the evil does not lie in the
lash so much as in the system OF rent
ing out those who have been taken in
the net Of the law, a net that, it is evi-
dent, has been flung unduly far and
wide in order to catch the greatest
possible number Of potential laborers
for the contract bosses.
The whole system Of convict con-
tracing is evil. Until Florida aban-
dons it there will be scandal. That
system, and not the use of the whip or
other means Of punishment in the
camps, is the real question at issue.
The hope is that Florida, so highly IA
vored by nature and so richly endowed
by the visitations of a growing multi
tude of tourists, will take the direct
course to reform and definitely aban-
don the atrocious practice that has
brought 1t to shame.

Great Britain and Russia.

England's ultimatum to Russia
brings to a climax a relationship that
has from the first been anomalous
Nothing but a commercial motive
could have justified the assumption OF
direct dealings between the soviet gov.
arnment at Moscow and that at Lon.
don. From the outset Of this arrange.
ment it has proved embarrassing to
Great Britain. Now it has proved un-
workable, for the reason that there is
no good faith on the Russian side,
and England formally demands assur.
ances and guarantees that, it is indi.
Gated in Russian dispatches, will not
be forthcoming in satisfactory terms.

hays to show to each other their "a

''There is a dogwood tree.~ Then they
pluck it and bear eff the branches as
though they had done a favor to the
dogwood and had given testimony of
their regard for it. To city persons
who have a sincere fondness for the
country such actions are offensive.
They mark the destroyers as men and
women who have no appreciation for
wild things.

International Peace and Politics.

James NJ. Cox. democratic candidate
for President in 1920. and now recog-
nized as one of the principal proiag-
onists of the covenant of the league OF
nations, which was an issue in that
campaign, in a speech in Chicago last
night declared that the issue Of inter
national peace was more outstanding
political party, and should be taken
out Of politics. Whereupon it may be
pertinent to observe that the league Of
nations was put into politics because
its creators placed in the covenant
provisions which the Senate. including
some democrats, considered TO be in
imical TO American Independence.
Moreover, it may be observed that
there is now pending in the Senate q
truly non partisan measure looking TO
the conservation Of international
peace, the proposal that the United
States adhere to the protocol Of the
Permanent Court Of International JUS
tice, which democrats and republicans
alike can consistently support. No
one will dispute Mr.. Cox's declaration
on the importance Of the issue Of in.
ternational peace, but there will con.
tinue to be divided opinion as to the
terms and conditions upon which the
United States shall enter an interna-
tional agreement for it's preservation.
Mr.. Cox said that if the question Of
international peace has not been set
tied by the next presidential election
the democratic party would violate its
faith should it refuse to take up the
issue again. Does this contain a hint
of an amended league Of nations plan,
eliminating the features which the
Senate found objectionable in the orig
inal league and which objections were
sustained by the voters in 1920?
If SO. the country would be glad to
have the plan in detail. It must be re-
membered that there is a strong latent
sentiment in the nation for some kind
Of an International agreement to which
the United States shall be signatory.
The sentiment exists in both political
parties. In the meantime. and pending
submission Of definite proposition,
there is the world court plan, which
Mr.. Cox admits himself is good 80 far
as it goes. Why not adopt that, while
waiting for something proposed as su-
perior in efficacy?

Dawson Memorial Scholarships and
Anglo.American Accord.

"well wishers Of perpetually amic-
able and cooperative relations be-
tween the British empire and the
United States, steadily advancing to-
ward the ideal Of a united English
speaking world. will hail the founda-
tion Of the Dawson trust fund for
the education of Oxford and Cam
versities as a decidedly favorable
step" Thus the Manchester Union
expresses the prevailing newspaper
sentiment with regard to the an
nouncement just made by the widow
Of Henry P. Dawson Of the estab-
Scholarships at Yale. Harvard and
Princetin. AS the American press
sees. it, this new foundation will
prove a valuable complement TO the
Rhodes scholarships. and should go
far toward carrying on the work of
friendlineSs and understanding with
which the Rhodes fund is generally
credited.
Not only is this foundation "a 1T
ting memorial to an American cit
izen Of broad vision and splendid
achievement" oonsonant with the
1t is established, but, in editorial
opinion, practical step in the direc-
tion of realizing the ideals of inter
national goodwill that distinguish
ed Mr.. Dawson. AS the New York
Herald outlines the plan, the fund
will enable six British students each
year to spend at least one year at
Harvard, Yale or Princeton. Three
a.c to come from Cambridge and
three from Oxford .. Just
as in the administration of the Rhodes
scholarships an effort is made to send
to England from the United States

so will the Dawson scholars be
chosen as representative of the high

of the three American colleges con-

that the plan is Of value as some

Eccentric Nature,

This queer spring is putting UP
some amazing tricks upon humanity
in this part Of the world. Following q
winter Of comparative mildness came
a series Of bud-delaying, crop-injuring
cold snap ps and storms. The northern
migration of the sun-hunters was
checked. Tin-canner tourists were
stalled in the south long beyond their
schedule. Then at last came the sun
in this latitude in sufficient warmth
to justify the discarding OF overcoats.

brought out q few straw hats. Then,
just as the conservatives were bring

Of mankind disclose it is as hot as

most extraordinary and contrary TO
the laws Of nature for it to start with
such a jerk as to cause a marked diff

There is no cause for alarm. These

Chaos in China.

Peking orders the payment Of the
ransom demanded by the bandits who
captured number Of foreigners and
Chinese from a derailed train. But
who is to pay? The provincial authori-
ties, practically independent Of Pc
king, are not particularly concerned
about the obligations Of the one gov
ernment in China that is recognized
by the foreign powers.
China is in a chaotic state POLITICAL
ly. Armies" are maintained by sew.
eral provincial and sectional leaders to
a total. it is estimated, of at least
100000 men, well armed and pro-
visioned. The authority Of the Peking
government extends, in fact, scarcely
beyond the confines of the capital it.
self. Each Of the independent organiza-
tions is intriguing for advantage in
ternationally, and meanwhile is defy
ing the central government. A rival
South China government preserves a
form of organization, but is itself SUBJ
iect to faction.
How long this condition is to con.
tinue cannot be foretold. But in view
of the present happening, with the
lives of Americans and other foreign
ors in the balance through lack of
order and rule in China, it obviously
cannot be tolerated much longer. Yet
international intervention is an ap-
palling proposition, certain Of develop
ment into the gravest complications
and possibly precipitating a general
conflict in the far east.
The fate Of the hostages now held
by the Suchow bandits, important as
ii is to rescue them, is not 50 vital a
matter as the restoration Of order in
China. Unless that country is to be
avoided by all persons of other lands,
AS a region Of savagery and deadly
danger, the powers Of the world must
seek n way to bring about at least
as much of order and government
there as prevails within their own
areas.

announced at Moscow, in respect to
economic matters, the fundamental
disregard for international obligations
remains. Great Britain having been
beguiled by trade influences into &C.
cepting relas' 'anship with Russia, now
has reason tC regret the act. This
present issue may let it out.
A break with Rus7ia will merely re.
store the status quo. Recognition,
such as it has been. will be Withdrawn.
The government at London will re.
quire the withdrawal Of the Russian
representatives and will withdraw its
own from Moscow. Russia will be

British public opinion. it would
seem. generally supports the deter
mination Of the government to require
complete recognition Of the British
rights. apology for affronts and com
pensation for losses and injuries. But
there is. as usual, a labor offset to this
sentiment, and the representatives of
that party in parliament. it is expect
ed, will challenge the sharp terms Of
the note. The fact, however, is accom-.
plished. The note is sent. The issue is
defined. The government cannot with,
draw from its position. however
strenuous may be the labor criticism.
Other nations will closely watch the
result Of this negotiation with, doubt
less, in the main u hope that it will re-
suit in a break. The maintenance of
relations between Great Britain and
Russia, however conditioned and limit
ed is an embarrassment to those
powers that have not consented to
recognize the s.Niet government.
