ONLY A MINNOW

1t begins to look as IL the parti-
ssn press had managed to hook not
SO much of a whale in the Leviathan
issue. Rather the matter now ap-
pears to be a minnow. Instead of
the million dollar joy ride" which
certain democratic papers inveighed
against, it seems that the trial trip
of Chairman Lasker and his guests
will cost about $4,000. The act
ual expenses of the guests will be
about $11, 900.
The ship must take a trial trip in
any case, and the net difference be-
tween sending her out with all cab
ms empty and putting four or five
hundred invited guests aboard will
therefore be about I'll, 000-no
very great waste Of government
money, considering how government
money is customarily wasted in this
land.

LET GREAT BRITAIN ASK
SECRETARY HUGHES

1t is said to be the opinion in
London that America now has the
best opportunity to offer sugges.
tions in the European crisis. If
that is the opinion in London, the
British government might act upon
it.
Last December Mr.. Hughes Of
fered a suggestion. He has never
withdrawn it. Presumably he still
believes in it. But no Allied Gov
eminent has ever paid any attcn-
ton to 1t. Only the German Gov
eminent officially noticed it, and
the German Government has adopt
ed it as its own program. But with
his previous offer unnoticed by the
Allies, Mr.. Hughes can hardly re-
peat it unless one Of the Allies takes
the trouble to ask him about it.
The British Government made a
mistake last December in ignoring
Mr.. Hughes offer. This may be
the time to correct that mistake by
asking Mr.. Hughes whether the Of
fer is still open.

What guarantees for the protec-
ton of foreigners can the Picking
government offer for the future?
1t is a question of far greater diff
ficulty than the payment Of a suit
able indemnity. 1t has been said by
Thomas F.. Mullard, a friend of the
Chinese, that banditry is zone of
China's hereditary institutions" In
ternal strife and lax administration
of the law, the demands of politi-
cal factions and exactions of off
cials r the excuses for 1t. In
number the bandits of China great
ly exceed its organized armies.
Since the raid at Suchow the world
has been hearing appalling stories
of outrages by outlaws in most OF
the provinces. The guarantees Of a
government that has shown itself
impotent to control its criminals
are obviously of little value.
The Washington conference at
one of its plensry sessions adopted
a resolution expressing the hope
that the Chinese government would
take Immediate and effective
steps" to reduce its military forces
and thus advance "the cause of its
political unity and economic devel-
opment." II bandits can be reform
ed only by taking them into the
army, It's constant expansion is to
be expected. A Chinese government
to be stable must begin by absorb
ing the Huchuns and disbanding
their forces, a process that would
appear to call for n regular army
powerful in efficiency il not in
numbers.

CHINA'S RESPONSIBILITY
FOR BANDITS

Now that the last group Of Amer
leans in the hands Of Chinese band
its have been released. the wisdom
of tho part played by the Picking
government should be recognized.
It knew the kind Of outlaws to be
dealt with and understood that a
military campaign against them
might result in civil war and the
slaughter Of the captives. Twelve
days after the raid on the Shanghai
Picking express DR.. Schurman, the
American minister, was threatening
drastic action" He went to Tsao
Chuang and told the Chinese Off
cials assembled there to negotiate
with the bandits to lend these de-
lays and the confusion between a
ious departments of the govern
men :" 1t was mora than three
weeks later when Major Pinger and
his companions were released. Early
in the affair the use of troops to
fire on the bandits at long range
had proved futile. Most of the lat
ter were ex-soidlers and were not
to be intimidated In hat way. Ihls
action OF the government was no
more than a gesture TO prove It's
good faith. Only negotiation with
promise of immunity from punish
ment and suitable compensation
would assure the safety OF the Tor
eigners detained and bring about
their liberation. Some OF the cap
tives escaped n others yer freed
on terms not divulged by them. The
full story OF this extraordinary cpl
sode is yet to be told.
As late as June 4 an Internal
lonal commission, Of which Brig.
Gen. Conner was the head and j.
Mathew Wainwright, formerly as
sistant secretary of war, was a
member, travelled to Tsao Chuang
to assist in the negotiations. Roy

Cleanliness--A
Modern Idea

Shortly before the Civil War, Boston made it a prison Of
fen,e to take a bath except on the advice of a physician. The Phil
adeiPhia Ciuncil tried to make it illegal to bahe between Novem-
Der and March IS and failed by one vote. Virginia placed a lux
ury tax OF $50 on each bathtub in the state.
Ideas regarding cleanliness have changed materially since
then. IN tact, ideas on almost everything have undergone some
thing OF a metamorphosis. Today, these changes are taking place
more rapidly than ever before. There has never been a time when
evolution hit such a furious pace-when conditions changed SO
quckiy-when standards of living were raised SO consistently.
You may not realize it, but advertising is responsible for much
OF this Improvement. Advertising has taken its place as a leading
force in solving the wants of the people.
Stop and think how many of the appliances you use, the foods
you eat, and clothes you wear and other articles entering into
daily life, were popularized through newspaper advertising.
Then you will realize what a debt you owe to ADVERTISING.

vid,tal can be judged by the company it
keeps" This convention is bringing the best
women of the State to meet with the best
women of Alexandria, to consider the QueS-
tons OF good government, of efficiency and
progress, and to interest feminine voters
more thoroughly in their responsibilities as
citizens OF the state and country, rather than
as blind followers OF some leader or faction

GERMAN RHODES SCHOLARS

To many Americans it will come as 4 sur
prise that the movement Tor re-establislllng
the German Rodes Scholarships at Oxford
University has reached the stage in Eng
land where it is beginning to be seriously
taken up in the nblic press. The really
significant part OF be campaign is that, iii
spite OF considerable opposition among that
portion OF the population who did not fight,
the idea has captured tlS nainds and synlpa-
thies of the undergraduate and recent gradu-
ate5 who personally made their sacrifice to
the Moloch of War.
This is the type OF Youth 70 whom Sly
James Barrie recently made hi, famous ap-
peal to take over the direction IF idealistic
movements from the grabbed AID palsied
hands OF Age. These are the youths who in
establishing at Oxford their international

many on an equal basis These are he
youths who at one Oxford college insisted
that the names OF German as we'll as English
students of the college who had fallen ii

The argument on which the movement
is based is a sound one Ii in the old days
Oxford could welcome young Germans. who

much more, in the interests OF international
reconciliation, should it welcome now young
Germans chosen to represent the best OF the

THE STATES POLICE POWER

Court decisions asserting and

power of the States over rates
of public utilities, superseding
rates prescribed by municipal
franchise when found after hear

ably high or low, discriminatory
or preferential, continue to null

sary to follow the able argu-
ments of counsel in detail, "be-
cause, in our view, this question
is no longer dehatable in this

repeatedly held that a State, in
