Violence Is No Argument.

lOlCItC 10 4NO III &uhlChts
Prom the indianapolis Star.
Organized labor will suffer If its
leaders can not control radical ele-
ments responsible for violence, de-
struction of property and serious in
convenience to the general public in
number of American cities. The
vast majority of organized labor has
little sympathy for rioting that has
necessitated call for troops. Public
opinion may not discriminate too
closely, however, so that the entire
movement is blamed. One truck
driver hogging the road Is enough to
embitter motorist against all trucks.
The right of collective bargaining
and the privilege of striking do not
justify attacks on individuals who
prefer to work, or destruction Of
property. Minneapolis was virtually
at the mercy of the mob, with rad
icals attempting to prevent the move
ment of foodstuffs to groceries. The
rights of the public to purchase ordi-
nary supplies were fiagrantly disre-
garded. Nothing under new deal or
an old deal justifies such outrages.
The efforts of a radical minority vir-
tually to hold up an entire city as q
means of achieving its end is extor-
ton on o scale that cannot be toll
Grated.
Disgraceful scenes occurred at To-
ledo before the Governor summoned
troops to disperse the rioters. A plant
was damaged to the extent of more
than 100000 and numerous in
juries were reported. Loyal workers
were compelled to remain in the fac
tory for safety. Meek surrender 10
more extreme demands will only in
vite further trouble. The public hopes
that wages and working conditions
will be established on as liberal plane
as business improvement will permit.
1t does not condone lawlessness as a
means Of adjusting Industrial contro-
versies.

The common objection to climbing
roses, that they bloom but once, is
scarcely tenable, although often voiced.
The iris, the peony, the gladiolus,
indeed all of the worlds best-beloved
flowers, bloom but once.
II we were to rule out Of the gar
den the things which display bios
SONS just once during the year we
would be forced to give up flower
gardening altogether.
This Is not held fault against our
finest garden flowers, why should it
be held SO in case OF the climbing
roses?
And even this objection is being
overcome with the introduction of
the so-called blooming" climbers
Commonly those who love gardens
place too much stress on bloom, any
way.
The fate of many choice flowers
as the result of recent rains (for
which Heaven be praised) shows be-
yond reasonable doubt it will seem to
many that the real charm of such
things finally comes in their foliage
and habit of growth, after all.
Peonies we're given a hard time OF
it, and iris blooms took no good from
the heavy afternoon thundershowers
Ordinary seasonable rains do them
no harm, but beating storms, food
ing down in the late afternoon, knock
them silly" as the phrase has it.
They are by no means ruined, still
they tend to show brown spots and
do not last as well as they normally
would without such visitations.

Home gardeners should never worry
about this.
Rain is better than no rain, nc
matter what it does to ones flowers
Into each life some rain must fall,
Longfellow wrote, and surely that line
applies even more to gardens.
The garden without rain is q pitiful
sight. One does not have to 60 West
to SympathiZe with the stricken agri-
culturists. All we have to do here Is
to recall the drought of several years
ago.
Even II we have to sit by and
watch some of our garden flowers
better than being forced to use the
hose every day in an effort to keeE
them alive.
Grass growing under trees. in par
ticular, is harmed by too much rain
fall.
Yet there is nothing TO be done
about it, and the gardener may thank
his stars that there Is plenty Of water
The foliage, after all, is the true
beauty of any growing thing.
All blooms are but for a season.
No doubt that is one of the reaI
reasons why mankind prizes them so
They are beauty. and beauty does
not last. 1t is only skin deep, only
petal deep.
1t Is not forever, but just for time
1t must be admired and loved. ir
its time, and afterward forgot in the
remaining beauty Of fresh, vigorous
growth, fine leaves. symmetry, the
wonders of plant chemistry, Of photo
synthesis. and the like.
These are those remaining beauties
without which gardening would moi
be so much.
n + n
It is well To remind ourselve- Of this
lest we spend too much time lament
ing the soiling of fresh flowers by rain
If anything more were to be needed
to prove that the flowers are not the
whole show. no doubt the price al
which fine peony blossoms were solo

Salvaging Geneva.

With American Ambassador at Large
Norman H. Davis playing the role of
a friendly gc-between, the ground was
laid at Geneva yesterday for at least
prolonglng, ii not definitely saving, the
life of the World Disarmament Con-
ference Mr.. Davis mediatory efforts
were directed primarily toward bring
ing together the delegates of Great
Britain and France. whose differences
and mutual recriminations earlier in
the month all but shipwrecked the
conference. The Anglo-French agree
ment has as its first objective the re-
turn of Germany to Geneva and the
Reichs continued participation in
arms negotiations.
As earnest of his desire to salvage
the conference, French Foreign Min
lister BarthOu. hitherto adamant in
opposition to any idea OF sanctionlng
German rearmament, has apparently
made liberal concessions. The nature
of them is not disclosed, nor is 1t yet
known what sort of a quid pro quo
France obtains from Great Britain.
The French have consistently declined
to consider any yielding on German
rearmament without security guaran-
tees from the British. who have been
as stubbornly opposed 10 any such
commitments. Geneva hears that,
thanks to Mr.. Davis skill as an honest
broker "a fair compromise" between
the French and British viewpoints has
been achieved With the basis of
agreement accepted, it seems to be
planned to adjourn the conference IN
order that all parties concerned may
employ the Summer for more thorough
exploration of the project, and then, at
a late session. in which Germany
would sit, tc adopt formal conven-
ton, This, it is indicated, would pro-
vide for scheme of guarantees for
loyal execution of arms reduction and
limitation pledges and possibly for
sanctions to be invoked against vio-
lators.
Any moves designed to continue
serious disarmament efforts are well
come, even though Geneva during
the nearly two and a half years OF
the present conferences fevered
existence has blasted so many hopes
and produced so much disilluSlonment
that the world is almost incurably
skeptical. But European statesman
ship is manifestly not yet ready to
confess its bankruptcy and is disposed
to make at least one more attempt
to achieve disarmament results
worthy of the name. Impoverished
treasures in many countries, ever
more unbearable tax burdens on the
backs of their peoples, the enduring
specter of another devastating war
these are the factors that are in
sistently causing enlightened govern
ment leaders to realize that they
cannot afford to falter in the task
they have set themselves.
1t is the consciousness of what
failure will mean that is spurring
statesmen at Geneva to exhaust every
possibility and recourse at their
command

in the Republican State organization,
nor did the Jim Watson crowd rank
as his friends. Robinson Is particu-
larly strong with the Hoosier war vet
Grams. II the Democrats in conven-

Washington is about to lose one Of
its shining journalistic lights with the
promotion of Charles G. Ross, CORE
spondent of the st. Louis Post
Dispatch, to be executive editor of his
paper. Ross is a former president Of
chairman of Overseas Writers. Before
coming to Washington he taught in
the journalism school of his alma
mater, the University of Missouri.
In 1861 he spent sabbatical leave
in Australia as an editor of the

Prof Claudius T. Murchison, newly
appointed director of the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce, fits
into the Roosevelt Hull plan to wean
Uncle Sam from a policy of extreme
economic nationalism. He is an ardent
apostle of the theory that the tariff
policy of the United States must be
liberalized II Uncle Sam expects for
eign countries to buy American goods.
DR.. Murchison also is credited with
the view that insistence upon collection
of the war debts is prejudicial TO the
expansion of our export trade and that
our refusal to help stabilize foreign
currencies Is q barrier to bigger busi-
ness for American farms and factories.

rency and banking problems. He has
functioned in similar capacity for
governments all over the world, espe-
cially in Asia and Latin America. DR..
Kemmerer has been an outspoken
critic of Roosevelt financial policies.
