Babies Have Rights.

The state continues to restrict what
from immemorial time have been con.
sidered individual rights. In the case
in hand 1t may be argued that the de-
cision is for the protection of the
rights of one citizen against another.
From one point of view this decision
takes from a husband what he perhaps
believed to be a fatherly prerogative
and gives increased protection to a
child. The complaint of the wife
against the husband was sustained by
the court, and the decision seems to
be agreeable with a long line of de-
cisions reducing the authority of a
husband and increasing the authority
of a wife. Perhaps the time will come
when the legal status Of a husband
will be brought to about the legal
status of a lamp on the kitchen table,
but in the case in question one is in
ciined to believe that the husband was
wrong, that he invaded the bailiwick
of the wife and that the child was
justified in making wall Of protest.

Press Sees in British Election
Receding Wave of Radicalism

With conservatism victorious in
Great Britain, where the electorate
delivered the Labor party a tremen-
| dous rebuke and repudiated the poll
cies of Ramsay Macdonald, American
editors see a definite trend in Britain
back to the two-party system and
the beginning of a recession of the
| wave of radicalism which has swept
over the Western world.
THE smashing victory of the Con-
servative party in the British parl!a-
| mentary elections" declares the Seat
! tie Times, has a far greater signifi-
canoe than the mere change in gov
ernmental leadership. The results
show clearly a definite trend toward
common sense that is world wide.
They indicate that the great masses
of the people are growing sick and
tired Of the dangerous folly advanced
! by radicals, ranging all the way from
red communism in pinkparlor social
lists. They are unmistakable signs
that Europe is turning from the dem
agogues and is looking to wiser lead
ers for guidance Coming as it does
in the voice of an overwhelming vote,
the San Francisco Bulletin agrees
that it carries with it assurance that
the tide of radicalism that in recent
times has been running swiftly is
now definitely checked"
The result in Great Britain, the
Duluth Herald believes, proves again
that the example of Russia is the
greatest obstacle to progressive lib
eralism," for, while "the British know
that socialism isn't bolshevism, the
stupid intrusion of the Russian Com
munists at psychological moment
showed the British voters that,
though socialism may not be so af-
frighting to many as it used to seem,
just behind socialism comes COM
munism, for which Russia is an ex-
Iceedingly poor advertisement"

what Ramsay Macdonald has done

the things his party would do with
control were it granted" In fact, the
! New Orleans Times Picayune thinks
Macdonald, actually a progressive
Liberal, might have held Britain's
confidence had his cause and govern
ment been before the public under
such name and banner The chief
reasons for the fall Of Macdonald, as
cited by the Salt Lake. Deseret News,
"were the Russian treaties and the
volvfng charges of communistic in
fuence within the ranks of the Labor
party The Birmingham News also
attributes it "to the fact that Mac
Donald played rather fast and loose
with the Russian Soviet, promising
good English pounds to re-establish
lit economically and all that sort OF
thing, but the sound Briton tempera-
ment opposed 1t. and the general feel
ing overseas seems to be that a rather
deadly incubus has been lifted from
the British mind" -.-,.
Besides the two factors mentioned,
the Kansas City Journal feels, ff

appear a deeper reason for its DOWN

To the Editor of The Star:
I trust you have space in your
newspaper to record an accident 1
witnessed Sunday afternoon about 8
o'clock. 1t happened very quickly
and few people were at the spot. l
would like the man concerned to be
congratulated on his presence of
mind and ability to make quick de-
cisions. The facts are as follows:
A little colored boy playing on the
edge of the large lake in front of the
Lincoln Memorial fell in. He tried to
get up three times and each time fell
face down and slipped a little bit
farther away from the edge. A man
about 40 feet beyond, upon hearing
the children about there scream, ran
back and stepped into the water,
grabbed the colored boy by his blue
blouse and landed him on terra firma.
The gentleman then joined his COM
panion, a man, and after attempting
to squeeze the water from the bottom
of his trouser legs, walked on. The
little picaninny scampered over the
grass to an automobile where appar-
emily his parents sat.
When / went down to the bank a
little later 1 noticed how the floor of
the pool slants DOWNS probably
slippery-which accounts for the lit
tie fellow being unable to gain a
footing, and how easily he could have

Henry Cabot Lodge.

Henry Cabot Lodge entered public
life from a sense of duty. He had
wealth and leisure. with no impelling
necessity to engage in a political
career. He had abundant opportuni-
ties for activity along congenial lines.
He chose public office because he felt
that his citizenship obligations re-
quired such service First entering
the House of Representatives of the
Massachusetts Legislature, where he
served two terms, he then came to
Congress and sat in the House of
Representatives here for eight years
In January, 1898, he was elected Sen
ator, and has sat continuously in that
body since the 4th of March, 1898, or
more than 81 years. Thus for nearly
40 years Mr.. Lodge participated in
the National Legislature, and always
with distinction.
Unusually gifted intellectually, Mr..
Lodge applied himself throughout
this long service with the thorough
ness of the scholar to the study of
public affairs. He was, however, al
ways a partisan, a Republican, con-
scientiously upholding the policies of
that party. He consistently devoted
himself to its advancement To him
its principles were guides.
Senator Lodge was notable
speaker in the field of legislative duty,
always fully prepared with his ma
terials, always ready in defense
against attack and always finished
and polished in expression. He lacked
the fire of the orator. He had in
speech as we'll as in writing a style
that compelled literary admiration
even when the matter was challenged
In temperament Mr.. Lodge was in
disposed to and disqualified from close
and cordial associations. He had warm
and enduring friendships. He won the
admiration of men for his intellectual
abilities. He did not, however, gain a
great following of partisans for there
was always a distance between him
and the majority of those with whom
he dealt in public affairs.
Mr.. Lodge made contributions to
American history in his congressional
service, as he made contributions to
American literature in his voluminous
and always finished writings. His dill
gence in both his literary and his
political service was unf1agging Dur.
ing the pendency of the Versailles
treaty before the Senate he was inde-
fatigable. despite the advance of his
years. He seemed untiring. Though
of a frail type, he had sturdy
strength which sustained him in his
incessant efforts.
Estimates Of Henry Cabot Lodge as
statesman and scholar are limited in
their value now by the nearness of
his personality. He has passed with
but little warning, and it is impossible
to survey his career impartially be-
cause of the fact that there was full
expectation that he would once again
take his seat in the Senate in Decem-
Der. Partisa nShip will dictate judg-
ment to a great degree. Those who
disagreed with Mr.. Lodges course in
connection with the treaty Of Yer
sailles will, perhaps, estimate his en-
tire service Of two-score years as a
legislator from the angle of their dis
sent. Others will recognize the stead
fast devotion of a man Of great ability
and of fiawless integrity to the task
of the practical development of the
highest principles of Americanism in
the National Legislature during a De-
riod of 40 years

CONSIDERABLE FIGHTING Battle Has Continued For Two
 UaYs Around Miahuaflan

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 1S.-(By As sociated Press 1.-The last three days have seen considerable fighting at diff ferent points within the quadrilateral formed by the railway lines extending from Puebla to Tehuacan, thence to Esperanza, to San Marcos, to Peubla.
 The main federal column under Gen eral Martinez is still holding Tehuacan, although cut off from Puebla. How ever, the road has been cleared of rebels by General Urbalejo, who at present is at Tecamachalco, midway between Peubla and Tehuacan. Gen eral Urbalejo is endeavoring to repair the greatly damaged railway so as to reach Tehuacan and reinforce General Almazan, whose cavalry forces, ordered to advance upon Esperanza, have reached Miahuatlan.
 AlmazLn has been fighting for two days in the vicinity of Miahuatlan, where the rebels succeeded in cutting him off from Tehaucan. Meanwhile the rebels approached San Marcos for the purpose of recapturing that impof- tant junction, but immediately with drew toward Esperanza when warned of Almazan's presence in the region of Miahuatlan.
 (Wireless dispatches received at Fl Paso today said San Marcos had been captured by the rebels.)
 War Minister Serrano is at Puebla directing the federal preparations, and has ordered the regional forces under General Maria Sanchez at Tepeaca to protect Urbalejo's rear.
