Stacking a Commission

Since congress apparently is unwilling to reduce
tariff rates and lead the world out of its state of
deking economic warfare it should at least see
that tariff commission is manned by public
spirited experts.
Two new Hoover appointees, Robert L. OBrien
and I. M. Ornburn, before the senate for con-
hrmation. Neither is particularly fitted Ornburn
least Of the two.
1.-THE ISSUE" says Senator Costigan, who. as a
former tariff commissioner, knows what he's saving.
"is not personal, but public.
ut is recognized almost universally that more
liberal commerce is of basic Importance to the pros
perty, peace and happiness of the world. Yet con-
stanty the United States and other nations through
tariff legislation and tariff commissions are press
ing forward in the race toward higher and, in the
long run, war-inviting tariff barriers.
There is no way to improve the unhappy situa-
ton except by changing course. There is Moth
ing personal in this reference to the two nominees
(OBrien and Ornburn) except that in my Judgment
they will not correct the less than rst-class repu-
taton of the commission for scientific disnterested-
ness"
Ornburn is Connecticut cigar maker union Of

The Issue Won't Dia

Those who try to make us believe that water
power no longer is important factor in the ma
tional economy and therefore unmportant in gov
eminent and politics. have reckoned without the 1881
annual report of the United States geological survey
just released in Washington.
This report reviews the almost phenomenal" i'm
proVement Of steam power-plant equipment during
the last ten years. and then points out that in spite
OF this the capacity of water power plants practically
has doubled in the same period. It adds:
In 1880 an important water power COMPANY was
looking for sites at which power could be produced
at mills kilowatt hour An authority on steam
power plants recently published estimates which in

Pilots Paw

Twenty-one pilots flying passenger planes on regu-
lar schedules for Century airlnes between st. Louis
Chicago Detroit and Cleveland have been discharged
after threatening to strike because of drastic pay cut
Century has suspended service until pilots can be
obtained
The pilots claim it is 40 per cent cut. If it is
Century pilots in the future Will make only about $500
a year.
The human element-the plot-still is the most
vital and important link in aviation SO long as that
situation exists the pilot should be worth more than
$780,
1t takes him years to acquire the skill experience
and Judgment necessary to fly on the arlines. In
the air the lives of human beings depend day after
day on him and him alone.
If an airline can't afford to pay its pilots what
they worth to safeguard its patrons and to in
regularity of its schedules, then it should get
out of the business.
Twenty-one pilots have sacrificed themselves for
the continuance of decent wage in aviation. Every
pilot the airlines of this country will benefit if the
fight is won, and suffer if it is lost.

Cough Is Warning Signal, No Disease

torated, the person certainly de-
mands most careful medical atten-
ton.
Such material may indicate an
infection in the throat or in the
lungs with the formation of pus.
1t may indicate a serious infection
of the nose or of the sinuses with
the infectious material dropping
back into the throat.
1t may indicate an infection in
the throat itself as sometimes oc-
ours with an absceSS in the tonsils.
A cough, therefore, must be con-
sidered not as in itself disease, but
as a warning signal, ringing like a
bell, to indicate that danger turks
elsewhere.
The detection of that danger, pro-
vided the cough does not yield
readily to the simple measures that
have been suggested, is a problem
that will demand the most careful
study by a competent physician.

right to begin work until thirteen months later.
After the people of the country have issued their
mandate current questions, hodover legislators,
often who have been repudiated at the polls, con-
troll an entire short session of congress.
Now there is no way in which the voters can Sc
prompt change in the policies of their national
government.
The second i'll which the amendment seeks to cor
rect is the inability of the legislative branch the peo
pies branch of the government, to meet and act
without consent of the President Under the Con-
stitution every session of congress must adj
journ March and can not reassemble again until
the following December unless the President calls it
into special session.
To ameliorate this condition, the lame duck amend
away with the date for mandatory adjourn

Finally, the amendment would end the protracted
fibuster the weapon with which opponents of legis-
lation have prevented action until arrival of the fixed
adjournment date. 1t will do away with physical
endurance as a test Of whether laws shall Or shall

The measure has been delayed many years by
party machines seeking to preserve presidential con-

Now that there is definite prospects OF its passage
1t should be passed in form that accompishes all

Shanghai Dynamite

The situation at Shanghai is explosive enough
without the threat of the British commander to fire
upon Chinese troops they are driven into the inter-
national settlement. If that threat is carried out
anything may happen-at best there probably would
be a stampede of Chinese soldiers and civilians re-
sulting in the loss of lives of foreigners as well as
natives.
China has replied, through statement from the
headquarters Of the Nineteenth route army, defend
ers of the native CITY, who have held back the invad
ing Japanese for nearly two weeks. The statement
properly objects to use by the Japanese troops of part
of the neutral international settlement as base for
attack on the native city.
It points out that, in Withdrawing the Chinese
troops would be under attack from four Sides from
the Japanese three sides and from the British
international settlement troops on the remaining side
The appeal to world opinion and to the foreign
powers which China makes in this statement is ten
able and fair.
No time should be lost by the Washington gov
eminent or the United States commander at Shang-
hal in disavowing the British ultmatum
If the vacillating powers will not or can not, make
Japan respect the neutrality Of the international set
Element by ceasng to it offensive military
base their position is virtually that of passive inter-
vention in the war on the side of Japan.
If the Chinese troops forced into the interna-
tional settlement they should not be fired upon The
most the powers would have right to do would be
to disarm the Chinese troops, as is customary when
belligerents enter a neutral zone-a rule which the
powers have failed to follow in the Of the Japa
nese invaders Of that neutral zone.

WILSON'S REPLY
EaL II

NN Feb. II, 1918, President Will
~ son replied to the speeches
of Chancellor Won Hertling of Ger
many and Count Czernin of Aus
tria- Hungary in an address before
congress, setting forth his four re-
quirements for peace.
First-Each part of the final
settlement must be based upon the
essential justice of that particu-
lar case and upon such adjust
ments as are most likely to bring
peace that will be permanent.
Second-Peoples and provinces
are not to be bartered.
Third-Every territorial settle
ment involved in this war must
be made in the interest and for
the benefit Of the populations con-
cerned.
Fourth-All well-defined ma
tional aspirations shall be accord
ed the utmost satisfaction that can
be accorded them without intro
ducing new or perpetuating old
elements of discord.
On this date also the Bolsheviki
declared war at an end with the
central powers, and Russian troops
were ordered demobilized.

Geneva.
AS long as war is visualized as
the greatest game on earth, as long
as it is considered probable, as long
as nations feel they must protect
themselves by force, every govern
ment will strive to outmatch the
others in the headlines of it's mill
tary machine, and what it has
agreed not to do in public, it will
practice in secret.
Meanwhile, horror stands forth
as one of the greatest deterrents to
war, and the more of it there is in
prospect, the less inclination there
will be to start war.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Horror at
the destructiveness OF modern de-
vices has played a major part in
turning people against war.
For the first time in history, NOR
tai man is afraid of his power to
kill; afraid Of the devilish instru-
mentalities which science has placed
at his disposal.
This fear is slowly, but steadily
crystallizing into an incentive for
peace.
Realizing our helpleSsness in the
face of such devastating power as
twentieth century civilization can
mobilize, we are beginning to think
Of safety through order and protec-
ton.
Air raids, mustard gas and the
possibility of man-made epidemics
have done a lot to enlighten US on
this point.
