It is in fact intensely disagree- able. As long as it is maintained Britain must be re- garded as the potential enemy of America. As long as it is maintained the only peace in the Pacific for America will be an armed peace. As long as it is maintained no arrangement can be entered into by the United States to limit armaments on land or sea or in the air. As long as it is maintained it is cer- tain to me at many points that close accord in aspiration and action between the greatest of the em- » pires and the greatest of the republics which consti- * tutes one of the foundation stones of the peace of the ‘world. “The AngloJapanese alliance was formed against Russia. The fall of that great power makes the al- liance no longer necessary. The Anglo-Japanese al- liance was employed.in war against Germany. The fall of that great power makes the alliance no longer necessary. The AngloJapanese alliance, if it is con- tinued, can only be continued against the United States. It is not a question of any particular of that arfangement. The whole treaty, im letter in spirit, in purpose and in possibility, is looked upon by the plain people of America as completely at vari- ance with all of the assurances of friendship which come in such abundance from British statesmen, Brit- ish bishops, British bankers and business men, British editors, authors and educators, British diplomats and British visitors. If these good friends cf ours mean what they say they will lose no time in rallying to the support of the London Spectator’s whole-hearted ef- fort to induce the Lloyd George ministry to look facts in the face and shape its diplomatic course accord- ingly. “Whether the conference on the limitation of arma- ments is to succeed will depend upon whether the powers in attendance can come to an understanding upon certain outstanding questions concerning the Pa- cific in general ane the Far East in particular. Wheth- er such an understanding can be arrived at will de- pend upon the ending of the AngloJapanese alliance. Both Great Britain and Japan are committed to the policy of ‘the Open Door’ in the Far East; both de- clare their common desire for peace in the Pacific; both profess to be friends of the United States. But as long as they remain in the existing alliance their assurances will fail to carry convictiun to the heart and mind of the American peuple. “The end of the Anglo-Japanese all.ance is the be- ginning of a new =nd better and friendlier relation- ship between tne United States and Great Britain. Now is the time for Great Britain to end that alliance. It is indeed Britain’s golden opportunity.~ ARES ee SE IT CANNOT BE TRUE. Never will the republic believe in the retirement of Uncle Joe Cannon, member of:congress from the Eighteenth district of Illinois, until the people of that district and Uncle Joe mutually agree. He has been serving the people so long that his relection has be- come a confirmed habit and will be difficult to break. In the absence of any postive statement from Uncle. Joe or the people, we shall decline to accept the an- nouncement of one William A. Rodenburg a congress- man from the Twenty-second district of the same state, who assumes to speak in the matter. Uncle Joe is a national institution, equally as much as the constitution, the White House, the Volstead act acd all the other things appertaining. May as well talk about putting short skirts and rolled hosiery on the Goddess of Liberty, or repealing the Declaration of Independence as to attempt to run a congress with- out the presence of Uncle Joe. In the first place it wouldn’t be legal and al] the acts and laws would be without force and effect. Nobody can run a congress like the man who invented it, and Uncle Joe is exact- ly that man. Guess, maybe, a fellow ought to have some rights ground congress and back in Danville, when he has been a2 member since 1872, with only a couple of en- forced vacations when the crops needed attention. That’s a whole lot of years. Uncle Joe is serving his twenty-third term, which means forty-six yearr A longer term of service than any other man in the history of congress. And during all that time, and previously for that matter, he has been a Republican from whose faith all could draw inspiration and com- fort. He has not only been 2 Rock of Ages, but a Gibraltar of strength to his party. And when any of the young fry wandered away upon any new slant, they ultimately returned to Uncle Joe’s faith and were giad to hear the old familiar doctrine and be saved. Uncle Joe was speaker of the house for four terms, from the fifty-eighth to the sixty-first and created “Cannonism.” That is, he ruled the house under an gutocracy that would have made Tom Reed jealous with envy and it was in that day when congress de- stroyed Cannonism that it took from the lower house @ prestige it has never regained. Before the admirers of Uncle Joe will swallow any story of retirement, we shal} ask for further infor- mation, either direct from Uncle Joe or from the folks at Danville. And we dare either to act without the full knowledge and consent of the nation. AL Mie RE HANDING US THE BUNK. Ho, hum! Here we go again. Just when we had begun to impress the rising generation with the evils of the fast life and the jazz in everything, along comes a fraterna] organization and tears down the whole works. Spills the beans, gums up the game, inserts an armful of monkey-wrenches into the cogs, and erwise destroys the good work we have been doing ever since everybody weat wild about the shimmy. What's the use? Why attempt to drag the boys and girls from the toboggan that shoots them straight into the middle kettle, when no one lends encour- agement? And what is to be done when people rise up and present figures to, prove that the swift life does not affect the longevity, and people who go the pace reach the same happy and green old age that made our an- cestors famous. It is discouraging. They tell us that modern dancing is an excellent substitute for the liquor affected by the generation that is passing. Mildly intoxicating and can be taken in large doses without danger of injury. The result of prohibition. A substitute for liquor! . Did anyone ever hear of sich tommyrot? Racing over a ballroom floor in what looks like an attempt to strangle a lady, or wreck her clothes? Is that anybody's idea of a quart of bourbon liquor? Surely a poor substitute. Yet the doctor for the fraterna] organization looks solemn and declares all of it to be true. Favors jazz music, the shimmy, the toddle and all the rest, and finds nothing to criticise; and claims it makes for long life. But what gets our goat is an old school doctor set- ting up the claim that the wild life is a substitute for liquor. That may go with the very young and the un- sophisticated; but it will not go with the old timer. They are not being kidded by such staff. PPS AMMEN ee. TN A PROPER PROTEST. The protest of the American Bar association against Judge Landis accepting an extremely large salary from organized baseball, larger in fact than is justi- fied by any service he renders, while holding the po- sition of federal judge at a reasonable salary, is a warning of how the general public as well as those di- rectly engaged in the practice of law, view the posi- tion in which the jurist has placed himself. Organized baseball would pay no such salary as $50,000 a year, but for the fact that Judge Landis already holds the high judicial office. It is to use the prestige of the court to place crooked baseball in bet- ter favor in public esteem. s Without his judicial position Judge Landis would not be considered for the baseball position and the salary paid him. The department of justice should insist on a com- plete separation of the federal court froin all outside interests. The bar association is perfectly right in its action of condemnation and in its desire to keep the courts of the people free from all other matters than the determining of justice. ‘WILL NOT STAY PUT. If Samuel Gompers and his fellow members of the American Federation of Labor would only practice ©| what he preaches, there would be no troubles. id) Mr. Gompers puts up a platform to wi we can all subscribe when he says: “What we ask and upon which we insist, is the right of voluntary association; to counsel with each other in man fashion, American fashion, if you please, deciding that which we believe to be a conservative, constructive and progressive platform; to deal with employers so that we may have some consideration around the table; to try to agree upon terms and conditions of employment consistent with the best interests of! both industry and the country.” Now if Samuel will simply stand by such utter- ances, all will be well. The trouble will be over. fae SURE, SHE IS. The vamp is passing and speed the day when she is no more on earth forever. She has done her turn and a heap of damage. We can spare her with pleas- ure and welcome something more wholesome. Give us back the little old modest sister with the pink sun- bonnet. She was real, and she was sweet and honest. She is the grandmother und great-grandmother of to- day. She is the best the country ever produced to date. a WILL THEY DO IT? Republicans stood by the Wilson administration in winning the war. They voted for many appropriations they doubted the necessity for, in order to give the Wilson administrution the benefit of every doubt. Now the Democrats ought to stand by the Republican ad- ministration in trying to find ways and means of pay- ing the Democratic indebtedness. ——— Dwelling for 2 moment on the disarmament ques- tion.
