If Germany has been looking toward Washington for sympathetic support in her attempted evasion of responsibility for her past conduct she will be dis- appointed. What she will receive, and all she will re- ceive is simple justice. From her attitude this is what she does not want. Germany is perfectly aware that she has no defense for precipitating the war nor eny defense for her countless illegal, inhuman and verbaric acts, once she was launched in the bloody enterprise. She is perfectly aware that we know all the facts, but she has foolishly hoped we would not base our action upon them. Now she will Jearn our views and it will be good for her. We shall in proper time and due form de- clare the existence of a state of peace between the United States and Germany. And in proper manner also declare our belief, in her guilt and the justice of the demands of the powers who suffered through her wanton and funrighizous actions, for reparation and settlement to the Jimit of her ability to pay. Germany will learn further that we would withhold no proper assistance nor deny her our sincere friend- ship, when she. acknowledges by °ay ance her crimes. against civili straightforward ¢dnduct and hon. repairing, insofar ag Hes’ in her: she has perpetrated, ‘ Her accountability to us’ is not measured in. dam- ages to life and property. «We have no demajds. of. this character. Our requirements are that she shall do justice to others and accept it for herse]f, and’ by future conduct qualify herself for association in hon- orable amity with her neighbors. ‘ Germany's first and plainest duty is to show-good faith. She will get nowhere in her) present sad plight until her people realize this neceasity, ‘i er, the wrongs y What can be the cause for so many America) tional and international conventions and gatherings: in which the large share of members are residents of the United States, holding their meetings in Canada this year? Medes Lees WHEN IS A KISS NOT A KISS? It was not only unusual, it was an entirely new kind of complaint that come before the Pittsburg al- derman when a pretty nineteen-year-old girl filed charges against a\boy of about the same age for in- juries sustained in a kissing game at a house party. The alderman learned a set of facts that puzzled him and compelled him to rule when a kiss was not a kiss or bind the youth over to a higher court under heavy bond and permit the higher court to guess at the matter. The young lady testified with the utmost frank- ness that one of the entertainments of the evening was.an "osculation session” in which the young man with each recurring turn showed increasing fervor. In truth so much steam did he put behind his kisses that the result was a positive damage, in that the skin was broken upon her cherry lips and she was pre- vented from further osculatory exercises for the even- ing, much to her disappointmént and the abridgement of he» inalienable right to the pursuit of happiness and osculation. Her damaged lips were exhibit A. The defense denied injury and damage and cited the extenuating circumstances that he had upon the same occasion kissed others and there seemed to be no complaint or dissatisfaction; and the charge that he ‘had Kissed the fair plaintiff “with a bite” was without truth and wholly unfounded. The court turned to Webster for relief and auth- erity and ruled that a kiss was “a salute or caress with the lips.” Not a bite. The bond was fixed at a thousand dollars and further proceedings referred to a higher court with greater discernment on such sub- jects. / Wate eet THE GOOSE AND THE EGG. An eminent statesman denounces the sales tax as a tax on life. Well, isn't every tax a tax on life, par- ticularly the exc profits tax, which has been mul- tiplied before being passed to the consumer? We'd like to know what tax, except possibly the inherit- ance tax, is not passed on until it bears about equally on all the people. For a short time, and in some in- stances, a tax may be levied in such a way that it can- not be passed on to someone else, but in general the rule holds good. Calling a tax an excess profits tax does not necessarily mean that the tax comes out of the pocket of men of large income. Even if it did come out of the pockets of men of large income, there would naturally be an indirect loss to industry, and, therefore, to all the “people, through curtailment of capital available for investment in productive enter- prise. Not without merit has there been an age- long survival of the fable of the goose that laid the golden egg. ——_——_—_o0_—__—_ REALITIES AND PHANTOMS. “Present day foes of the protection policy,” as- serts the National Republican, “repeat an aged argu- ment to the effect that if we do not buy abroad we cannot sell abroad, and that if we adopt a tariff which protects American against foreign industry, nations will enact tariff Jaws that will ex- tion’ from the United States. is that people and nations do not ex- ess of unusual circumstances, buy tal grounds. .If foreign peoples buy of us to their advantage they will do so; if 4 they cannot, they will not do so; and their decisions as to methods of excluding us from their markets. will be made entirely independent of our action as to cus- toms duties. “The present tariff law is the lowest the United States has had since the Civil war, and hard upon its heels came a Canadian tariff law the highest our neighboring Dominion has ever known,—much higher than our present tariff law and averaging in its rates more than the McKinley or Dipgley laws; much more than the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. This Canadian law, by the way, permits the government, by orders in council to increase tariff rates practically at will; the sky is the limit. So much for reciprocity in tariff making. “The argument that because we have since the Eu- ropean war again been making large sales of our products abroad, we cannot keep our factories going unless we keep our own tariff bars down, ignore, first of all, this fact that the talk of retaliatory tariffs is mostly moonshine, and again it assumes that we wil: profit by trading our own market for the possibility of occupying foreign markets. If we give to foreign- ers the right to’sell two billion dollars’ worth of prod- ucts here in order that we may sell the game value of products abroad, then we are right where we were be- fore, with the difference, as Lincoln once pointed out in a discussion of the tariff question, that goods have been loaded both ways with unnecessary costs of transportation across the ocean. “The American home market is admittedly the rich- est in the world. It is worth vastly more, to the American producer, than all the rest of the markets of the world combined. ..No one denies that under anything like normal conditions, lower labor ‘costs make’ it possible for the foreigner to undersell us in our own markets and, of course, in the markets of the world. The tariff barriers we erect kere are in- tended to represent the difference in cost of produc- tion at home and abroad. “The man who would abandon a rich gold mine at his feet in order to pursue the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow would be considered deficient in busi- ness sense. The nation which would” stirrender its own incomparably rich market to foreign producers in the mere hope that it might thereby promote its chances ofaselling a greater volume of commodities abroad, would show the same lack of sound judg- ment.” a te oh We have all heard about swindlers selling the city hall, state capitol, the national capitol, the flatiron building and the Masonic temple to trustful strangers but high water mark salesmanship was reached when a group bf New Orleans sharpers actually sold stock in the league of nations. The engraved certificates were* very imposing. pseh PS es Ee IN THE MIRROR. It may not be pleasant but it is certainly good for us to hear the truth about ourselves ‘occasionally. St John Ervine writing in’ Century Magazine tells us this: “It is, I think, true to say that the material prog- ress of America has enormously surpassed the intel. lectual progress. That is why a European, visiting in the United States, is disconcerted to find men of im- mense power in business talkipg like children in an elementary school about literature and art. , “It was this absorption in material things which, through it has made American domestic life easily the most comfortable in the world, left America so com- pletely at the mercy of the old and ravenous diplomats of Europe in the peace conference. »Culture, given ; by contemplation of art and litergture, is the power to know and understand human ‘nature and motives. Centuries of/familiarity with the garnered beauty and learning of the world have gone to the making of the European statesman; but only . generation or two of iMitimate knowledge of great businesses and machinery ores ip to. the _making,of the American. delegation. ‘i ‘he. great expanse of, America, the fact. that. its Yesources are still undeveloped, and that fortunes seem yery easily to be made by men whose wits are both agile and accommodating, make the reappear- ance of its high general culture difficult. - The stand- ards of America are constantly being displaced by the irruption of newly enriched nren, who pass from poy- yy to affluence so rapidly that while they have the means for a life of culture, they have not the men- tality for it.” “Fifi” wins the first round in the Stillman domes- tic bout. The whole country will shout with joy when Jim Stillman goes down for the count in the next round. BE ea Me he THE BOOK OF RULES. Relief from unjust conditions of labor is some- thing in attainment of which all good citizens will co-operate. Undoubtedly there have been many in- stances in which employers have been negligent in es- tablishing the best practicable conditions for their employes. Laws have been enacted, and yery prop- erly, requiring the adoption of safety appliances and removing so far as possible conditions unfavorable to health. This is done for the promotion of the public welfare as well as for the protection of the individ- ual.. But there are reciprocal obligations. The em- ploye owes the employer a reasonable degree of dili- gence in securing satisfactory. results in the work he is employed to perform. Illustrating the need of recognition of the mutual obligation, there is a story told by an official of the Interstate Commerce Com- mission of an incident in railroad work. A broken car axle was lying between two tracks in such a position as to be a menace to traffic. A foreman told two workmen to put it on a push car and take it out of the way. They looked at it, talked it over, and told the foreman that under the.rule this was a job that would require three men. ‘Go get another man,” he told them, and ‘as soon as they were gone he put the broken axle on the push car himself, shoved it out of the way, and was later disciplined for his action. In- numerable instances are told of just this sort of thing, particularly in railroad employment. Now it happens that the railroad managers are not the em- ployers. Neither are the railroad stockholders. The real employers are the producers and consumers who pay the freight. The man who pays the cost of trans- portation is demanding the cost be made as low as reasonable wages and working conditions will permit. i With the managing ‘editor in’ the ‘White House, this is the day when editors come into their own.

(Lander Journal.) Some Lander business men have been corresponding, with J. I. Lever of Salt Lake City, concerning the con- struction of a-small woolen mill in Lander.

ELIMINATING DUPLICATION. One evil arising from duplication or partial dupli- cation of public service is that it alw: affords bu- reaus an opportunity to evade responsibility at the same time that they jealously guard their power. Be- ing referred to some other bureau is the irritating experience of many a man who has gone to Wash- ington, or has written to Washington; concerning business with the government. By eliminating the duplications, the Harding administration will not only conserve the funds of the taxpayers but preserve their dispositions as well. i STUSSY CBE ae BELIEVE ME, MYRTLE.
