SEVERAL WHY'S

Those who read what Secretary of
State Kellogg has to say about the
attitude of the administration toward
foreign affairs will do well to con-
slider first what he has to say about
viewing questions pertaining to our
foreign relations in non-partisan
light. Perhaps this is too much to
expect, though any sensible person
can see the need of it, notwithstand-
ing already the criticism Of the ad-
ministration's attitude takes on in
some degree a partisan viewpoint.
So. II possible. lay politics aside
and what is wrong about the attitude
toward interference in European
politics? What is wrong about going
to the limit Of cooperation? Why
should we not admire the Locarno
spirit and yet see that it is not nee
essary for US to be involved in the
pact in order to share in its spirit
or to contribute to its encourage
ment? Why should we not defend
the debt settlements? Wherein
have they not been considerate and
fair? What evidence is there that
we have unduly urged Europe's at
tention to these obligations? Is not
Europe better off economically by
reason of having recognized those
obligations?
Do not the dictates Of prudence
warrant circumspection of foreign
private or municipal loans? Why
should we disregard the alien ex-
clusion law Of 1918, as amended two
years later? Why not first repeal 1t
II that be our desire? Why not
recognize there is sabotage of gov
eminent as well as of machinery;
that there are number of very am
bilious aliens DESTROYS of continuing
in this country the sabotage of our
government?

cHuRLlsH CHILE

Possibly Chile doesn't care what
the people of the United States think
about the reasonableness of her
claims on Tacna-Arica, but If she
does she surely has gone the wrong
way to win their approval.
Ever since the decision to settle
the claims by means of plebiscite
of the residents of the territory in
dispute she has sulked and shifted.
1t is very evident Chile does not
wish for fair settlement. But it
isn't clear just how she may be COM
PEELED to abide by 1t once the way
has been shown, though one thing
may be taken for granted, she will
be unable to bully either President
Coolidge or General Pershing in the
matter of demonstrating the way by
which just settlement may be had.

sENsATIoNALIsM AND FACTS

And now Lowell. Mass, officials
come In for raking over the Goals
in the news columns Considering
reports of what is happening in Mas
sachusetts, one wonders if the people
down that way really believed the
scareheads in Boston papers over the
sensational reports of Names recent
prison hearing. Probably they will
entirely overlook the conclusions of
those who have studied the evidence.
Possibly. too, we will not learn the
exact truth respecting those reported
iniquities in the Old Bay State.
For their enlightenment as well as
for our own 1t is suggested we turn
to what Austin MacCormack had to
say about our prison scandal in a
recent address. Here is part of it:

is that the conditions at Thomaston
were not as bad by one quarter as
they were painted. I have been I'M

have been unable to secure them, But

of the charges might have been true.
"The specific charges in the affi-
davits apparently We're not proven. /
have visited the prison since the
scandal and ! am convinced that
the morale of the prison is better
now than it ever has been in the last
ten year."
1t may be pertinent to add. what
everyone In Maine already knows,
that Prof. MacCormack's Judgment
respecting prison conditions is such
as to inspire confidence in his conclu-
sions, which, moreover, he has a way
OF sincerely expressing when he does
talk. We hope the truth overtakes
the out-of-State readers and perhaps
they are hoping the same about us.
Any state is exposed to enough lust

cause of the imagination of those who
pander to sensationalism.
There is, however, a kind of sensa

For Voluntary Consultations

(BOStOn f1eTdluJ
After five years the interstate
commerce commission asks Congress
to relieve it of the enormous job of
providing the nation with system
of railroad consultations to which
the roads will be required to adhere.
There are two or three especially
interesting facts about this petition.
1t comes just at the time the Presi-
dent in his message was saying: Il
recommend that the Congress
authorize such consultations under
the supervision of the |. c. c., with
power to approve or disapprove when
proposed parts are excluded or new
parts added" 1t comes also in the
face of the we'll known fact that
Senator Cummins, co-author with
former Congressman Esch of the
transportation act, with its provi-
sions for consultations of our rail-
roads into limited number of sys-
TENS" has announced his intention
in the present session to introduce a
bill for the compulsory consolidation
of the roads within stipulated
period of time. 1t probably is not
without significance that Mr.. Esch is
himself now a member of the |. c. c.
Further, let us remind ourselves that
for five years the commission has
been wrestling with this big task.
Prof. w. u. Ripley furnished an
elaborate report on the basis of
which the commission formulated a
tentative plan for consultations.
Hearings were held all over the
country in which shippers, business
men, railway arrangements. and all
parties with any claims to be heard,
presented their views on the ques-
lions involved.
The commission does not go on
record against consultations, but it
does express disapproval of CONSOLE
dations hurriedly brought about by
law. Let nature take it's course. For
years the process has been going for
ward anyhow by natural process of

HEARD ABOUT ENOUGH

Bandit Chapman's plea, that the
President acted very wrongly when
he relinquished the Governments
claim on the thug by committing the
Federal sentence, has been turned
down. In the process the Federal
judge resorted to the use Of some
common sense to the effect that it is
not the prerogative of the criminal,
by way Of rejecting Communication, to
choose between penalties and prisons.
He has one more plea left and that
to higher court, where most Of us
hope law and justice may not be
found in disagreement.
One doesn't have to be a believer
in capital punishment to arrive at
the conclusion the public has heard
about enough respecting this thug.

mission watch events with authority
to see that all mergers shall protect
the interests of the public. The
greatest objection probably is the
needs of the weak" roads. 1t is in
their behalf that Senator Cummins
advocates compulsion. He is sin
cerely DESTROYS that we shall achieve
a real national system of railways
at the earliest hour possible. Opin-
ions differ as to how this shall be
brought about. His views are easy
to understand. The President spoke

Academy of Medicine, high blood
pressure, which is one of the remain
ing scourges of humanity. along with
kindred menaces, including harden
ing of the arteries, apoplexy. and
many forms of heart and kidney
trouble, is about to lose its terrors.
All one thus afflicted has to do is to
eat plenty of liver from young cattle,
which contains an element which can
be depended upon to alleviate even
IL II does not cure. OF course. this
discovery will boost the price of
liver, which already costs more than
rump steak cost few years ago.
The price charged for even a mess
of tripe and cow-heels is high
enough to make Sancho Panza turn
in his grave.

CHARGES NOT SUSTAINED

Anyhow that Congressional avia-
ton committee, including all shades
of politics, is unanimous in the con-
clusion that there is no "air trust"
that "the most searching investiga-
ton on the part of the committee
discloses not the slightest ground for
the charge that the air service pro-
cedure is corrupt"
Apparently they did not deem the
charge of reasonable negligence
worthy of comment,
