A NATION WITHOUT ETHICS

That we are q people without ethics, and there
fore In serious peril Of 80 confusing right and wrong
things that we will be unable 20 distinguish between
them, is the opinion Of Prof. sveinbjorn Johnson. who
occupies the chair Of law at the University Of Illi-
uois. and has just spoken before the Illinois Bar As
~siciation.
There was a reason why we as q nation did not
take seriously the corruption OF the Harding admin
~istration, just as there is q reason why people such as
the new Senator designate Of Illinois and all those
who would corrupt the ballot enjoy at the polls a
popular sanction which 10 sometimes pulling. 1t is
not meaningless that Gov. Len Small, who has just
made restitution to the State Of s56o,ooo, can remain
the political boss Of Illinois; nor is it unsymptomatic
that as great a warrior as Senator Norris of Nebraska,
though he shook the Alleghenies with protest, was
unable to keep the people of Pennsylvania from voting
for William S. Ware.
The reason is that we are becoming an immoral
people. Prof Johnson sees proof Of this in every phase
Of our national life. It is because of this that we be-
friend the criminal, that the courts become corrupt
and that public life is ho~neycombed with graft. Our
civilization lacks an ethical foundation. There Is no
genuine belief among US that the Government should be
honest, or that the courts should be corruptible. To
every phase of our national life, whether in public o.
flee or in private business, we apply but the single
law Of expediency. Whatever we can get away with is
permissible.
A dreadful picture, truly. Yet 1t Is true. The Post
Dispatch has time and again said the same thing. 1t
is convinced that whether the Government is honest or
dishonest. whether the courts are corrupt or incorrupt
or whether the morals Of business are sound or un-
sound, makes no difference to US. 1t is not the reign
Of law that we are concerned about, but the reign OF
prosperity. It is not the morals of the nation, whether
it is bombing the patriots Of Nicaragua or handing out
undeserved tax rebates through innumerable fixers at
the Treasury Building, that interests US. We want to
know how we can get ours.
There can &c but one outcome to such q course, If
we are to persist in il. Il hope ! am not merely .
pessimist, but can help to arouse the country to a
realization of that indifference to the welfare Of the
mass which has seized upon US" says Prof. Johnson.
It is TO the same end that the Post-Dispatch hopes to be
useful We need TO return to our better selves. No
people who put party above country can retain the
high standards Of the men who founded the great re-
public.

The World and All
MY TOwNS-TOPEKA
By Charles p. Driscoll

Topeka IL the capital Of Kansas. It's history is the
history OF Kansas, and there are few states that have
a more fascinating history, as far as it goes.
Kansas is still a very young state. Topeka was
one of the early "free-state" settlements. and it was
not begun until 1854. That's a young city, even for
the United States.
But Kansas and Topeka were born in strife and
bloodshed. The institution Of black slavery was On
trial. The southern states, where there was much hoe
ing in the hot sun to be done, liked II and wanted il
as the basis and foundation 70 a culture that was just
beginning to bud in Virginia and Georgia
The northern states, particularly those Of New
England. had no use for black slavery. The institu.
tion simply didn't fit into a northern civilization.
The controversy was growing bitter.
A new state was to be admitted soon-Ksnsas
Should 1t be a slave-holding state, or should its con-
s~titution forbid slavery?
The climate of Kansas is neither that Of the Old
South nor that Of the North. Most Of the state has ex-
tremely hot summers, without very much rainfall. One
could use black slaves to considerable advantage in
Kansas during the summer. said the pro-slavery folk.
This should be a slave-holding state.
So the crusaders from Massachusetts and Connect
cut poured out toward Kansas. to settle up that land
with free-soil folk. 50 that the new state might vote
slavery out of its own constitution and also hold the
balance Of power In congress for free soil.
They fought it out in Bleeding Kansas" and the
free-sojl folk won. But the battle was not won until
the Kansas conflict had spread over the nation and
black slavery was abolished throughout the nation.
That's how Topeka happened to be born. Topeka
has seen hot and bloody days. But you would not think
so, to lcok at Topeka now. Peaceful, prosperous, dig
and the conventional statehouse dominating all with
its regulation statehouse dome.
Topeka is a good, going town today. And it has
its memories.

The Old Battlefields

Thousands Of American Legionnaires, who attend
ed the convention in Paris visited the battle grounds
where less than ten years ago the successive waves
Of American troops turned the scale Of battle and
brought victory 70 the Allied cause.
At Belleau Wood. in the Argonne. throughout the
entire area where the American forces were engaged
during those last months Of the world struggle, the
American Legionnsires returned by hundreds and
Thousands to again view the fields and woods where
they offered their lives for world democracy and where
many Of their comrades fell.
Throughout the convention the Legionnaires rather
ehafed as official solemnities, even when organized for
their especial benefit. They had come 5000 miles to
see the battlefileds Of which they had q vivid memory,
and to make a pilgrimage to the graves of their fallen
comrades They were eager TO get away from the long
speeches, the routine Of the convention, and when the
last session was closed there was an immediate exc
dus from Paris, a pilgrimage. IL might be termed, to
the battlefields and national cemeteries.
The French public understood what the Americans
desired, and they were in hearty accord. Every pos
sible means for facilitating the pilgrimage to the old
battle fronts was provided. The poilus who had fought
shoulder to shoulder with the Americans during those
fateful months. were eager to extend their assistance;
and thousands Of the former service men Of the French
army were assigned 70 aid the Americans TO locate
the various fronts on which they had fought and to
identify those places whic hto them held a personal
interest
Crumbling walls and fields pockmarked BY shells
tSAh WaAA "a sNeANs u sums II n greatest battles
the world has ever known, but in most instances the
sears of battle have been removed, and northern
France, which nine years ago was devastated by war,
was found smilingly prosperous, with the people ex.
tending enthusiastie welcome to the Americans who
had aided in the defeat Of the enemy hordes.
The suggestion Of General Pershing that the
American Legion hold its convention in France every
tenth year met q hearty response from the Legion
nsires. Those national cemeteries where the American
dead arc buried, the old battletislds. all serve to re-
awaken cherished though often sad memories. To the
Legionnaires the battle line Of France are hsllowed
ground, over which the American legions trampled in
the victorious battle for world democracy: where their
comrades made the supreme sacrifice and now rest
near the scenes Of those heroic efforts which won for
America the acclaim OF the civilized world.
There are few members of the Legion who will not
wish to return TO France IL the suggestion Of General
Pershing Is adopted. 1t would not only give the oppor-
tunity to visit the old battlefields and the graves Of
their comrades who fell in battle, but IL would serve
40 strengthen the ties that now bind the United
States and Franee-ths tie Of eomradeship on the bat
lie front
