President Hoover and Premier MacDonald have caused us to recall a declaration of John Sherman | when he was President Hayes's Secretary of ‘th‘: Treasury. The United States had been paying u\xL: Treasury Notes (Greenbacks) for years and it was | admitted on all sides that it was desirable to re-| sume specie payments, John Sherman said “the way to resume is to resume,” and he began making specie payments. It has never ceased, and that was more than fifty years ago. Premier MacDonald and President Hoover have decided that the way to| meet the generad demand for disarmament is to| disarm. At least they have stopped naval construc- tion for their “respective countries—Great Britain and the United States. That is a system that lays decently at rest the quarrel over the difference be- tween a definite naval tonnage represented by 10,000-ton ships and 6,000-ton ships. If both coun- tries stop constructing willy nilly it ought to be easy to agree on the abstract proposition of equaliz- ing the navies on paper. President Hoover and Premier MacDonald have made permanent pe look more reasonable than it ever before has seemed CRIFICING FOR THE PUBLIC. When Alexander Legge became a member of the| Farm Board he resigned the Presidency of the Inter- | nation: ter Company, said to carry with it} a )y y y of $88,000. His new position will yield him but $12,500 annually. It might be said further that he quit an easy position at the head of a smooth-running and well organized business | machine to take up a work that will require a lot of hard labor and grief. Mr. Legge is entitled to large credit for this sort | of patriotism. However he is already rich beyond; his needs and those of his family. He quits a cor- poration that really does not need him for the| reason there are many in the organization he had | directed so successfully that are capable of taking | the place he vacated. Therefore, the chances that| his stockholders would suffer through his resignation were slight. On the other hand he is entering upon a | work that directly concerns the welfare of 40,- 000,000 people whose living is made from the soil For one who desi to serve the people that ought to be an opportunity rather than a sacrifice. Mr. ‘Warburg, who quit banking arrangements that netted him a half miilion or more a year to work out the Federal Reserve Act, did not regard it as a sacrifice. Mr. Morrow who severed a very profitable partner- ship in J. P. Morgan and Company to be Ambas- sador to Mexico has not asked for pity. Many of our rich men have retired from business to serve| the people in office or in other fields from choice. Rather should honor for financial sacrifice go to the poorly paid officials in the bureaus who live pinched lives in to give the public benefit of their scientific knowledge and ability when they might be drawing much larger salaries in the serv- fece of profit making corporations. Many of these men have grown grey in the service of Administra- tion after Administration in the interest of the public welfare. order DRAINING WOODLAND LAKE NEMIL The uncovering of Galigula's galley by draining much of the water out of the “woodland Lake Nemi” has not disclosed enough to stay the demand that further draining be stopped. While the famous old royal galley has been sufficiently preserved to authenticate Suetonius's de tion of the imperial craft, it is said that practically all that has been proved could have been accomplished by divers and moedern apparatus. On the other hand, the drain- ing has caused innumerable landslides and scarified scenery that poets have raved about through the | generations. No longer correspondent is there the beauty that was caught by Turner in his “dream-like vision." Equally important is the effect of the draining on the strawberry and violet crops which have been all but destroyed by the failure of moisture. These were the chief sources of peasant livelihood in the vicinity. The paintings, bas-reliefs, mosaics, etc., which garlanded the walls and decks of the galley where Caligula gave his nightly feasts whereat fair dancers of that time entertained the royal host and his| guests are for the most part too badly dvcomposed; and have too nearly disappeared to permit important salvage. It is worth something, however, to look at this great craft of 260 feet in length that was a thou- sand years old when the Vikings settled Iceland and visited America. It had lain on its lake bed fifteen hundred years when Columbus took back to Spain the news of the discovery of a new continent. It is not now believed that the other imperial ‘galley that lies at a far greater depth than the one uncovered will be recovered. It is thought the s one |for 1928-29 is on the whole an encouraging docu- | keeping |spirit of tolerance in this country in the last few years to bring the water back to its former level If the draining were continued it would require a greater length of time. Chicago is threatened with new and more vicious raid from hoodlums and gangsters who use bombs and other deadly weapons. If it should be wa than Chicago has been experiencing for sev- eral years it will have the Russian-Chinese fighters looking like a Sunday School picnic crowd. a Every time a Canadian official discusses Pro- hibition enforcement he makes it plain that Pro- hibition is an American law and it is up to Am- ericans to enforce it or mot as might please them. we have in at- distance airplane to make new failures of long we have Apparently the more tempts to break records flights the people attempts. more Civil Liberties in 1929. (New York World.) The report of the American Civil Liberties Union ment. The Union finds, to be sure, that in the last twelve months the number of cases of police inter- ference with labor meetings have substantially in- creased, especially in Ohio, Massachusetts and Wis- consin. It finds that the Boston censorship it still in force and as powerful as ever. It finds a grow- ing tendency to make use of the injunction in in- dustrial disputes and it deplores the recent decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Mme. Rosika Schwimmer. But as against these cases the Civil Liberties Union can note many favorable develop- ments. To begin 'with, it can note fewer lynchings in the twelve-month period for which it now reports than in any similar period in fifty years of record- It can note only one case of mob violence “as against hundreds in the heyday of the Klan.”| It can note that deportations of aliens for their | political or economic views or activities have fallen | off to a few occasiorial cases. It can note that de-| spite the adoption by Arkansas of an anti-evolution | law and the dismissal of a few teachers here and' there for the harboring of some unorthodox opin-| ion, the question of academic freedom was seldom | raised in the last twelve months and cases of | arbitrary interfernce are uncommon. It can note, finally, that in 1928 the last of the political prison- ers in State prisons’ under criminal syndiculism‘ laws were released, and that the only Federal polit-! ical prisoner remaining in jail received his pardon from the President. These facts are encouraging. To a certain de- gree it ;seems possible, of course, to account for them simply by taking note of the economic pros- perity which a large part of the country now en- joys. With wages fairly high and employment con- ditions in most industries reasonably steady, there are fewer industrial disputes and accordingly fewer | direct clashes over contentious issues. Meantime, prosperity has @ way of begetting ambitions and distractions which sap the enthusiasm of most left- wing movements. As Mr. Baldwin of the Civil Lib- erties Union said some time ago, speech is rela- tively free but “no forward-looking movement is saying much because there are too fow to listen.” In this sense, it is possible to attribute the falling off in persecutions of all kinds not to the fact that public opinion is more enlightened but to the fact that in prosperous times the temper of public opin- ion is less often put to a revealing test. Nevertheless, though prosperity has been an im- portant factor in the situation, it is difficult to be- lieve that prosperity is the whole explanation and that there has not been a healthy growth of the years. The sharp decline in lynchings in the South is direct evidence of the growth of such a spirit. The pardoning of men and women in prison for the expression of political opinions is more evi- dence of the same thing. The sharp protest in New York against Mr. Whalen's experiment with strong- arm tactics and the widespread denunciation of the Boston censorship are evidence of more alertness on the public’s part in issues involving civil liber- ties. And meantime there is the unquestioned fact that various organizations which have thrived in the past upon intolerance have fallen on hard times. Even within the last few days the news despatches have reported that the Ku Klux Klan is aband- oning its headquarters in Washington, that the Key Men of America have been compelled to discontinue publication of their famous “data sheets” owing to a lack of public interest and that the much-bally- hooed attempt of the journal known as the Na- tional Republic to revive the “red menace” of 1919~ 20 has been disowned by the gentleman who was re- ported to be its chief sponsor. Certainly in view of such evidence as this it is possible to believe that tolerance stands on a surer footing and that America is continuing to recover from its post-war case of nerves. Weather and Work. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Heat waves are not precisely pleasant, and we have our full share of them hereabouts. The belt 0{ country from St. Louis through Cincinnati and Pittsburgh to Baltimore and Philadelphia is perhaps favored with the most chanegable summer climate in the world. But since the weather cannot, in the present elementary state of scientific devel‘opment be changed by popular vote, there is much to be sahi for taking the most cheerful view of our climate. Frequent and rather decided changes in Lem-' perature, according to scholars who have studied the matter thoroughly, are very desirable from the standpoint of human efficiency., The regions of the world_ where the largest developments have occurred, especially in industrial advancement, are mvariabb; areas of wide weather changes, from day to day or week to week well as : 3 as fr winter, om summer to To be more specific, as a change of - grees in the average n‘mperatufe frroxr::otl(i: :::f)lddeit to the hottest month is presumed to be ideal.
