If a citizen is caught in any place he should not be, or in any act he should not have committeed, make him stand up and face the music. All this play about giving “John Doe” or other false name, when the judge and policemen, know absolutely that the name given is a false one, is the bunk, and mighty childish bunk at that. Police courts and policemen are placed in their positions to punish wrong doers, not to shield and protect them, nor aid them in being excused for what they have done. Let these officials make it unpopular for law breakers to come before them, by giving publicity to proper names, then they will not meet the same person the second time with the silly subterfuge that his name is “John Doe.” Where is the sense of making a farce of a serious proceed- ing by kidding themselves bout the identity of a person ar- rested and brought into court? A proceeding at that in which the law has been defied or broken? Do away with the practice of deception in such matters, and see how quickly certain persons will be more careful of their step. No Revision President Coolidge, following a cabinet session in Wash- iigton and Chairman Butler of the Republican national com- mittee, in a speech delive: 1 about the same time in Boston, both take oceasion to serve notice on the money-lending power of Wall street that there will be no lowering of the tariff wall in order that cheaply-made foreign manufactures may be xitted into the American domestic market in order that for 1 loans may be paid in commodities by the borrowing nations, In effect what the president and the titular leader of the Republican organization have both id is that between re taining the full-benefits of the protected domestic market with its high wage standard for the American workingman and the American manufacturer, and enabling the money lenders to make profits out of foreign loans, the administration prefers the former. This surely is round and traditional Republican doctrine, just the sort of policy the record of both men would fore- shadow, And it is a doctrine which Republican manufacturers and workingmen will heartily endorse. We are more than will- ing that American surplus funds be employed to rehabilitate Europe and get their business on a stable and sound basis, but we would be guilty of supreme folly if we did this in such fashion as to destroy our own prosperity, and our own high living standards in the process. World Wide Wages Like our own department of labor, the British Ministry of labor issues a monthly publication which reports wages, trade disputes, employment and living costs in Great Britain and occasionally makes special studies and comparisons of interna- tional conditions. In the latest of these the'Ministry of Labor Gazette compares average “real wages” in principal cities of leading nations throughout the world. Real wages in London are taken arbitrarily as the base and given a comparative value of 100: City— Philadelphia, U. 8. A. ........

Lisbon, Portugal Seecewedecnssweres teeeeeee How much value these figures have and just what clusions can be be con- ed upon them cannot be exactly known with- out a clear knowledge of how the figures were arrived at. Re- ducing all wa ences due to “real power,’ ges to “gold wages” would have eliminated differ- rurrency depreciation, but to attempt to portray is a much more difficult thing, for the gold level of prices is by no means the same in different countries. Apparently these real wage comparisons are based on re- tail prices of food in the various cities reported. Food, how- ever, is Only one item in the workman's expenditure; it con- stitutes, except in cases on the poverty line, a minor part of the total. To compare, say, dwelling rents in different cities with any accuracy would be a highly difficult task. If only because of the different quality of the dwellings offered, Eyen with these cautions kept in mind, however, the fig. ures are still highly significant, In terms of food-purchasing power the American workman not only receives twice as much as the British workman, but practically four times much os the workman in the capitals of most continental countri Farmers Organizing Pwo and one-half million farmers are members of co-opera: e marketing organizations throughout the country, and f ix per cent of the total reside in the twelve North Cen tut mpared with 651,000 in 1915, Southern states re 1 the in the membership. 913,000 being 194,000 ton years Glancing Forward 1 has final recourse in water power to the ex Africa will be the seat of empire.

Ahead go the pipes playing the music of war, real, honest, wild, unadulterat- ed, rieving, howling war, and yet with a melancholy wierdness that makes the business far removed above unimaginative combat. War bagpipes makes pacifists hang their ly heads in shame. That ts, {t might, {f they had a real eye for the broad and picturesque effects. “Also, the pipes are very fine to lament with. Indeed, ao true ts this, that his Mking or distaste for the pipes is the unerring test of a man’s highmindedness, If he likes them, if his begins to glare and his nostrils dilate, he is all right, the descendant of his ancestors. If not then he turns to the negrold saxa- phone, the pitiable booming saxa- phone. We say this because that in Glasgow (which never lets you for- got that {t {s the second largest city in the United Kingdom) the saxa- phone {s about to supplant the bag- pipes. Calmer readers, those of taste and experience, will smile at this futile effort to blot the fair name of Scotland, but we fear that the timid may be disturbed. Let them rest assured that the bagpipes will skirl long after the saxaphone has been buried in a dishonored grave. The bagpipes are of the ages— the saxophone of a regretted instant. No one, save those of base and revo- lutionary thought, can conceive of a band of saxaphones heading a bat- talion. They are not martial and they are not conducive to discipline. Although Americans singed the King of Spain's beard to the strains of “There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight,” they could nev- er have sald it with saxaphones. Fur- thermore, a batallion with saxa- phones booming and whining might so far forget itself as to go into ac- tion doing foxtrots, which would render good bayonet play virtually impossible. The sight of a sergeant major doing the one-step would be terrific and have a Very bad effect on the morale of recruits. “No, this story !s to be read in its true light, of an attempt to un- dermine Scot'and and belittle her in the eyes of the world, a world that for the moment 1s too far sunk fn the saxaphone to rise to the heights ot the bagpipes, where eagles whirl and the mist wreaths the crags. as the battle flows back and forth. Let there be no more levity of this kind The saxaphone for those who Ike 't. The bagpipes -for freemen European Trend Nothing could Indicate more clear- ly the change in the political trend of Europe than current French insis- tence upon Germany's entrance into the League of Nations. Up to a few months ago the French attitude was that Germany should be deprived of the commercial and political advan- tages bf League membership until the Treaty of Versailles was fully executed, especially as regards pay- ment of reparations a Now the Herriot Government ts insisting that Germany accept these benefits, which Include commercially the right of trading in mandated territories on equal terms with oth- er League members and, politically the privilege of having a volce tn the Council of Nations. The propo- sals tinder consideration go further: Germany Is to receive a mandatory over her former co’onies and a per- manent seat in the League of Na- tions Council, which carries a power of veto on most important Issues. In exchange France receives from Germany a security pact with re- gard to thelr common frontlers—and German-Belgian frontiers, equally important to France, as was shown at the beginning of the war. Ger- many has already accepted these de- limitations in the Treaty of Versail- les; but France does not trust this pledge, which depends so upon armed enforcement. words, France bargains with ma to buttress this feature of the treaty and, secondarily, with Great Britain to countersign the agree- ment. According to Premier Herriot's way of thinking, Germany hitherto has had everything to gain and Iktle to lose by adopting a recalcitrant attitude toward the treaty and push- {ng her evasion policy to the !Imit of endurance—jyst short of war. He therefore gives Germany something she will not want to lose, and de- mands that Germany may be so tled up with the League as not to be able to make any aggressive ges- ture without imperiling her com- mercial and political privileges. Herriot insists that everything de- pends upon changing the attitude Germany has hitherto displayed to- ward the peace settlements. The question {s whether Germany can be brought to understand anything save force, whether the enforcement of the eecurity pact will not also depend rather closely upon the readiness and strength of Marshal Foch anf his army. What “Abroad” Means If anyone wishes to seeat a glance how the whole world has become a single financial entity, let him look at the foreign dispatches having to do with currency, banking, the gold Standard. exchange, industry and trade. There will be a report of financial conditions in Paris, but it cannot disconnect itse’? from the nsational ups and downs In the wheat market of the United States. London will tell its story of hesitant Investors and of the desire of large commercial interests to have the government early announce {ts plans regarding the gold resumption, but the gold hearings cf America, and the ebb and flow of forelgn trade with th's country, cannot be kept out of those discussions elther.

Appeal Notice Given in Oil Scandal Case WASHINGTON, April 7.—Formal notice of an appeal from the de- cision of Chief Justice McCoy dis- missing the ¢riminal indictments growing out of the oil scandal was given yesterday {n the District of Columbia Supreme court by special government counsel, Atlee Pomerene and Owen J. Roberts. The difference between the simpli- fied Series 80 six-cylinder engine and larger, more involved mechanism is noted in a less frequent need for adjust- ments and the surprisingly low main- tenance cost.
