United States Senator from North Dakota — Today is the opportune time for the erystalliza- tion of the peace sentiment of the world inte ef- fective, international compact and guaranty. In Versailles, in view of that battlefield where was once a | paradise, but now a devastated and ' desolate hell of ruins, is the place ' to write and promulgate a new code cf international relations and con- duct.

United States Senator from South Dakota The imminent.and all-absorbing question is not whether we shall ever have a league of nations to enforce’peace, but whether w must have it now; whether its cre ation must consume the preciou rvdnt ‘Germany's ‘signa-| earliest possible day the momen- tous issues arising out of the war. The relations and mutual pur- poses of the allied nations are such perfect guaranty against war be- tween themselves, and a reasonable ~ guaranty of the peace of)the world ; there are difficulties in the way of establishing a league to.enforce peace which cannot at this. time be overcome. In the interests of all concerned the} peace conference should not be burdened with or delayed by the consideration of a constitution for such a league. The definite peace which is tol mark the end of the great war, and not a league of nations, is the goal to’which all the talents, learning and experience of ‘the commissioners to negotiate peace should be directed. In addition to the difficulties sure to be.en- countered in the organization of such a league it is a matter of grave doubt whether its decisions can ever be made effectual against any nation not! willing to abide by them, and in the last analysis we shall have to depend on the friendship and good faith of the nations of the world rather than force for our guaranty of peace. There was always free speech in the vicinity of the free lunch: MAY ADD MEMBER: The eleventh member of the president’s cabi- ; net probably will be the secretary of education. Three bills introduced in this congress provide . for the creation of a new governmental depart- ~ ment, to be presided over by a new member of the president’s official family. Senator Hoke Smith is the father of one of these measures, and his bill, it is understood has ‘the endorsement of the general educational board. J. M.

At present the federal government exercises rather meager control over public schools, and un- supervision of the secretary of the interior, de- voted most of its attention to institutions of high learning, colleges and universities. The department of education, if it is created, will rank below the last organized, the department of labor, but in cabinet meetings the newest secre- tary will be the only one facing the president as itheir seats alternate according to rank, there be-! l|ing five members upon each side of the cabinet | table with the president at the head. | All Europe asks is an “Okeh, W.

MANN AND: HIS PARTY In the course of a dispatch indicating that James R. Mann of Illinois cannot muster enough votes to be elected speaker of the next house of representatives, The Tribune’s. Washington cor- respondent says it is anticipated in some quarters that Mr. Mann will volunteer before long to step aside and let this honorable and important post go to another, uncontested by him. This action would be the best kind of solution of a situation that is admittedly potential of harm to republican success in 1920. Mr. Mann is too wise and observant not to know there is a wide- spread party. sentiment against his being placed in the speaker’s chair. A loyal party man in such a case would put party and national'welfare above his own political ambition and good politics above meré House precedent. Mr. Mann cannot complain of any lack ‘of honors by his party. He has been a republican member of congress continuously for twenty-two years and has been minority leader in four ses- sions. In many respects he has served his party ably and with good counsel, but he was out of tune with it on important questions just before the United States entered the war—notably on the McLemore resolutibn and in what he had to say about “joy riders” on the ill-fated Lusitania. It is fair to say, we believe, that a great pre- ponderance of sentiment at large in the party til recently the bureau of education, under the; BISMARCK DAILY ‘TRIBUNE MONDAY, FEB. 17, 1919. it (iL ; ie I'D KEEP: IT IS A HAN Washington, D.

There are indi- viduals and business establishments in .forth Dakota which are not in accord with his plans. In this bill he has given the industrial commission the Power to root out these discordant factors. . The Leacuers “Stick.” Even the most conservative league members of the senate were very in- sistent that the right of eminent do- main remain in the home-puilders’ bill. The bill would be. worthless without it, safd, Senator ‘McCarten. He thought the right would not be used injudiciously or without reason. But Senator MeCarten will have nothing to do with the administration of the act. Full power in this regard is in- vested in the industrial commission, and the industrial commission is actu- ally a one-man, board,;and that one man is Lynn J. Frazier. NO CALENDAR FOR 500: YEARS Christians Reckoned Time According to Customs of Nations to Which They Belonged. History tells us that for 500 years the Christians:had_ no calendar of their own, but reckoned the years according to the customs of the nations to which they belonged. The Roman Christians used the “Anno .Urbis Conditae,” or year of the founding of Rome, to count from; others counted from the reign of Diocletian, calling it “the Era of the Martyrs ;” and still others used the calendar of the Copts of Egypt. in the sixth century Denis the Little, « Greek monk living in Rome, made a talendar counting from the Incarnatien, the ‘date of which he fixed at 753 A So we commonly say that Roma founded 758. B, C/ At the beginning of the Ss, ge tury the venerable Bede pointed’ out that this was an historical blunder, But no general notice was taken of his erfticism and {he error has contin- ued: to this day. Historic facts have enabled modern lars to determine without ‘much pos lity of doubt; the .exact year of the birth gf.Jesusjand th place it at:what, we.call 5 B. OF aes shUnld-be'hel4d,” says the great ent astronome:, Camille Fiamma- rion, “that the birth of ithe Savior re mained totally woperceived at the time. No register +f birth, no contem- porary historian has bequeathed us any sacred parchisent registering the event.” “ Moreover, althovzh we are actually approaching the year 1923 A. D., there. is little probability that our calendar will ever be reformed to show the fact. The confusion of dates that would re- sult from a substitition of the more ac- curate designation would be too great to make such meticulousness worth while.—Cleveland Plain-Dealer, FERRY. ‘ACR SS: iN L a ¢ Carried for’: : ‘iletery From England to France. For ‘the ‘first time in ‘the ‘history of railroading.a train ferry has crossed the English channel from Newhaven, England, to Dieppe, .France, ‘carrying about fifty ‘cars, says Popular Mechan- ies Magazine.’ Since early in the war thousands. of British railway,cars have been employed In France in transport- ing troops and supplies, but they have all been transferred to the continent by. freighters. The inauguration of ferry service indicates that the diffi. culties created by very pronounced tides. hnve been cvercome at last to the mutual advant«ge of these two al- les, At Dieppe the water level varies ‘as much as'81 feet. ‘To overcome this, short bridges, attached at one end to the dock and resting on large floats, are employed. During londing and un- loading the ferry is chained to the boat and dock pier as well. The two smokestacks are located one at either side of the craft, leaving space for tracks down the center of the deck. WHAT ABOUT YOUR INCOME?
