LLOYD GEORGE

LLOYD GEORGE
Perhaps it would have been bet
ter for Lloyd Georges fame if he
had resigned on armistice day and
after so brilliantly organizing vic
tory, had not undertaken to organize
peace. The five subsequent years
have been a period of struggle by g
weary statesman to restore ravaged
nerve-wrecked continent His people
had lapsed from the exaltation to
which war had raised their spirits
to consideration of their own affairs
and interests, and so had all others
Amid the many perplexities that
sprang from the desire of each ma
ton to reap the full fruits of its
own victory, it was inevitable that
he should err, but two achievements
of that period will always stand forth
to his credit. He settled the Irish
question and this removed a source
of chronic irritation in this country.
He joyfully seconed the call for
the Washington conference by Presi-
dent Harding. Without the hearty
cooperation of the British delegates,
the naval treaty annulment of the
British-Japanese alliance and estab-
lishment of peace on the Pacific
ocean would have been impossible.
In both instances a strong motive
was to cultivate friendship with the
American people, and no man can
gainsay the proof of this purpose
that he gave.-Oregonian

WOMEN IN PUBLIC WORKS
The National League of Women
Voters recently wrote to mayors OF
cities all over the country, asking
them whether they had found women
satisfactory appointees in positions
on boards, committees and commits
sions. The answers received indi-
cate that women have abundantly
made good in such positions.
George E. Leach mayor of Minneap-
oils, expressed the general opinion by
saying: ri believe women are equal
to men in any capacity for which they
aspire"
With women thus making good in
all kinds of work for which politicians
are often appointed out of personal
pull and political friendship, it will be
a good idea for politicians of this type
to wake up a bit. They should re-
member that the public is looking for
the efficient service it can get. If wo-
men are more likely to cut out poll
tics in such public works, they will |
soon be getting lot of these jobs,
perhaps the majority of them.

There is every reason TO believe
that the Inland Empire, with the rest
of the country, will enjoy good fall
and winter business. In fact, it is
impossible to see how it can be other
wise. Every man who is willing to
work has been employed throughout
the summer at good wages, and there {
has been an enormous production to
turn into money, throughout the en-
tire Inland empire, and especially IN
the Palouse country. While the
price of wheat is considerably below
what it should be, if the wheat farm
er were to have an even break with
the rest of the world, there are many
other products bringing a fair price,
and the big yield of wheat will bring
to the country large sum of money,
even at present prices. This should
mean a generally larger volume of
business in all lines than in number
Of years past, and should bring the
country back long ways toward the
normalcy which has been talked for
so long. II

A Missouri paper proposes a BE
Kind to Husband Week." and suggests
that seven days be set apart during
which none are to be shot. We are
