This is the stuff: “We should steer clear of drifting fnto a pacifist state of mind simply because we are discussing this sub- Heot. None of us wants war. but we do: not want to be caught unprepared if war comes. Until some agreement is had T would say that the safe pol- icy for the United States to pursue would be to continue our Army and Navy program and not allow our- selves to be caught unprepared as we were at the beginuing of l_h? world war. Tt is unsafe and unwise for one nation to disarm at such a time as this upless the others do likewise. I think I am in a position to know better than any other man what unpreparedmess meant at the beginning of the war.” Before the House naval committee yesterday Gen. Pershing uttered this warning. Few, if any, will dispute his authority. He knows his subject. Ho speaks with knowledge, and from a large and recent experience. He appraises the value of preparedness by the workings of unpreparedness ‘which came under his own eyes. He does not want the country to be caught unprepared again. It is a simple proposition. Four y&xrs ago the country was caught completely and pathetically unpre- pared for war. And yet we were en- tering the greatest war in history. The world was in fighting turmoil. ‘What our condition cost us in blood and treasure could not easily be cal- culated. But the sum undoubtedly was large. ‘This should not occur again. But it may, and soon, unless the times and their signs are read dright. The sol- diers. have grounded their arms, and the fleets are at anchor, but the un- vest in Europe continues grave, and anrest in Asia is growing. The world i far from being on Easy street. Why, then, should we be talking {n terms ©of peciftsm, or acting as though the last war had been fought? There is no “call” for America to lead in the matter of disarmament. ‘We did not inaugurate the movement Wwhich saddled the great nations with expensive fighting machines. If they are weary of their burden and want to lay it off, let them so signify and begin unlcading, and they will not find us unsympathetic. ———te— A Battle of Books. In the matter of the Paris peace conference, books are likely to beget books. Presently we shall have Mr. Lansing’s version of the business, how it was transacted, and what the ef- fect on us would have been if the Senate had ratified the treaty as ne- gotiated. ‘Then, after awhile, we shall hear from Mr. Wilson, and, as many from* Col. House. some of the Englishmen present and lent a hand ? Mr. Balfour is a distinguish- r, and bore a distinguished the negotiations. A. Bonar and Lord Robert Cecil contrib- much to the meeting, which 1d find many readers if told by them. And particularly interesting would be a book by Gen.

He is an author and a Journalist, and would handle the sub- with Hvely skill. When he re- turns from his tiger shooting in India, and finds the public occupled with Mr. Lansing’s book and impatiently awaiting Mr. Wilson’s, he may de- cide to take up his pen and tell his story. In this way the public in time will be put wise to a good deal about ‘which when the conference adjourned #¢ knew nothing. It was a notable conference. It had the world in its hands, and its performances will be under discussion and appraisement for many years to come. ——— Qostumes worn by Chinese ladies become objeets of attention on the part of the Shanghai police.

But just the same the lid is being tightened and the country is growing dryer. The Atterney General has just ren- dered a decision to the effect that the comumissioner of internal revenue is limited in the issue of permits to the sale of liquor in wholesale quantities to manufacturers and wholesale drug- ‘®ists. Now the commissioner an- nounces that the regulations of his Much jesting Bas | cealment in certatn places. Just as soon as the liquor was withdrawn it became the object of a traffic that carried it far-and wide. The govern- ment was unable to: check it, although every transaction, every sale, what- ever the quantity, was in violation. off the law. Now rthis supply is to be cut off. A comparstively few people will be entitled; to get permits to withdraw liquor. The sources of pos- sible distribution will thus be reduced in number and can be more readily watched. Penalties will be sufficlent- 1y severe to put.a premium upon the proper use and a.check upon the im- proper use of liguor so taken from storage. Those oases where the ‘‘hootch™ flows as freely as of old will soon feel the effect of this ban. Aridity will succeed abundant moisture. There will be sales. The law will be broken for a time. But less flagrantly, less defiantly. It will cost ,more, too. Much of the bootlegging and public drinking of liquor in deflance of the law is inspired by a disposition of re- sistance. It is being done because the law says it must not be. But there is less drinking. What is being done costs more, but in the aggregate far less money is being spent on in- toxicants, and there is much less crime resulting from alcohol. In some places there is perhaps more drunkenness, or rather drunkenness of a worse kind, owing to the poorer qualities of liquor consumed. But in the main this is a more temperate country than before prohibition, and this habit of temperance will grow as the law is more and more strictly- enforced and more habitually ob- served. —_—————————— Cutting Out the Middleman. There has been no more interesting development in post-war reconstruc- tion: than the announced plan of 250 ‘Washington retail grocers to buy col- lectively in producing markets, in- stead of through- middlemen, and to give their customers the benefit of the economies. thus effected. If the program proves as workable in prac- tice as it seems attractive on paper it may mark the beginning of a com- plete reorganization. of the system of distribution, admittedly cumbersome and unscientific and. needlessly ex- pensive. As the Washington venture is only a part of a national move- ment with which 18,000 grocers are said already to have aligned them- selves, the undertaking is seen to be big in pqssibilities. Economists have long recognized that in the necessities of life too many profits were taken between the producer and the consumer, for many of these profits no adequate service being rendered. The system was an unplanned growth, developing with the growth of urban populations, and rooted in generations of merchandis- ing habits it has successfully resisted spasmedic efforts at its reorganiza- tion. Many remedies have been pro- posed and tried in a hit-and-miss way, | but none of them seemed to reach the heart of the trouble. So long as those engaged in the business were content to follow beaten paths, outside ef- forts at reformation were of little avail. But now that the men whose busi- ness habits require to be reformed have themselves undertaken the task results ought to-be obtained. *‘Chain” stores having demonstrated the prac- tical economies of bulk buying and collective distribution, the way is blazed for the individual merchants who have banded together for self- preservation. It seems to be a long step in the right direction, and its success undoubtedly ‘would lead to like undertakings in other lines. The consuming public will wish the gro- cers well, with the proviso only that’ collective buying shall not lead to the abolishment of competitive selling. —_——— ‘The motion picture, like the speaking drama, scores its greatest successes with plays whose simplicity and pur- ity of sentiment bring up no question. whatever as to the need of censorship.

The other day two men approached lanother in an alley in this city and held him up.” One of them pulled a {revolver with which the victim was menaced. In Police Court the hold- up men were sentenced to six menths in jail each. The pistol when pro- duced in evidence proved tg be an ancient weapon, so decrepit that while it was being handled it fell t9 pieces. Whether this fact of the decrepitude of the weapon had an effect upon the lightness of the penalty is not clear, but the suggestion is conveyed that because the gun could not pos- sibly have been fired it was, there- | | | | Sir | service will be redrafted to meet the!fore, not a “deadly weapon,” and that sitmation. and under these revised|the offense was measured accordingly. rules wholesalers or brokers other-} If this was the case it would seem wise than druggists will not in thellhat Jjustice blinked a bit on that oc- future be able to obtain permits for | casion.

The effect on the victim’s mind is the im- portant fact in every case. If the man handling the gun knows that it cannot possibly be fired he can, of course, have no. deadly intent. But he is trying to thraw fear into his victim just the same. The utmost penalty sheuld: be. given. to all who undertake 'the footpad game. Only, by applying the law in its maximum severity is' it going to be possible to break up the crime wave that pre- vails here and to give assurance to the people who walk the streets that they are in some measure secure. Sentences of a few months will not sufficiently .impress the highwaymen of Washington to discourage them from continmiing their efforts to live by loot. ————e——— An 0ld Question Answered. Although Mr. Wilson plans a re- turn to authorship, it does not follow that he is through with politica. Mr. Roosevelt took up his pen again after leaving the White House, and wrote books, and contributed regu- larly to the newspapers. His “stuff” was in great demand, and from its vigorous and snappy character there was reason to believe he found much vleasure as well as profit in prepar- ing it. But he kept up his interest in politics: played the part of sage and that of stumper, and had he lived would probably have resumed legdership of his party. Mr. Taft returned to the law, in the capacity of a lecturer, and be- came also a writer for the press. But he did not withdraw from politics. They game seemed to engage him as mudh as ever; and only last year he madd wide and long stumping tours in hehalf of the Chicago ticket. His werk. for Mr. Harding was performed with energy. Mr. Wilson will be much occupied for a.time with the work he has planned on the peace treaty. But with that out of the way he will be able tor take a hand in politics if he likes. His health is improving. In Washington he will be right on the spot for conferences with party friends. Managing politicians drift in and out.of this town frequently while Congress is in session, and even at other times. What shall we do with our ex- esidents? The old question is no longer in order. The exes have put it out of business. They answer it themselves to suit themselves. ———— American. immigration is regarded the as a danger in European countries which propose to manufacture cheap at home and sell dear in the western hemisphere. Labor may or not be a “‘commodity,” but it is undoubtedly (one of the most important assets of any nation. The assertion that motion pictures enable half the world to know how the other half lives tends to give a rather substantial status to the im- agination of the scenario writer. Both halves are now gathering the impres- sion that it is an exceedingly wild life. ————— Lenin is not represented as sharing personally the hardship of general condjtions in. Russia. He is appar- ently the type of patriot who regards it as his privilege to use the ship of state as a private yacht. ——— There are fears that instead of as- senting to a. naval holiday Japan will be inclined to adopt the thrifty pol- icy of working while the others sleep. Many German students of efficiency }a.re evidently of the opinion that large quantities of mathematics are going lu waste in the indemnity discusstons. SHOOYING STARS. BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

The. decision of the republican ma- Jority in the Senate against the con~ firmation of President Wilson's numer- ous appointments bringa out sharp dis- cussion in partisan papers, The. demo- cratic press views such action as up- ‘holding too flagrantly the doctrine that “to the victor belong the spofls,” while republican papers defe and attack the effort to saddle the new administration with “left over” officials of a different political faith. Others not S0 partisan, Nowever, regret the inci- dent as demonstrating the fact, as the Philadelphia Bulletin (independent re- ;:{Jllm)i‘u:‘nmm;u it, that we have not reached “a full appreciation and application of the truth that it is pos- sible to change the President and the Congress and the general policigs. of the government without shifting and chang- ing all the subordinate gears and wheels which make up the machinery of the administration."” ’ This “arrogant” action by the Senate makes it “quite evident” to the = Louisville Post (independent) || that it believes “that it has the coun- | Ly, if not the world, in a sling.” The Hartford Times (democratic) calls the policy “reprehensible and childish,” even though it admits that. || the republicans, who, ara about to || come into power. are no more at fanlt than their democratic brethren || would 'be if conditions were re- versed.” Rut the Times points out further that in conngction with the confirmation of Army promotions the action of Senator Underwood in breaking the deadlock, “in order that some 5,500 Army officers might be put in the way of securing rank which they won on the field of bat- tl aved the Senate “from pursuing a poliey of ingratitude ™ Many of these officers, the Memphis Commer- | cial - Appeal (democratic) states, “have been sent to foreign posta and have en their families with them. If they are not confirmed by March 4 they will lose their Army standing, their pay will stop. they will not be entitled to live in government quar- ters and they cannot. apply to tha War Department for money to. defray their expenses back home.” This policy of “protecting the pie. counter” appears to the Raleigh News and: Observer (democratic) as prophetic of “the mailed fist” in the || Senate for the next four years. Tha Rrooklyn Eagle (independent demo- cratic) finds no defense for the Se ate's thus evading “its constitutiona obligation to act on nominations” with the apparent purpose of saving “all available patronage for the in- coming President to dispose of.” Un- fortunately, in the opinion of the Eagle: “It Is probably true that if this course Is taken there will be no con- stitutional way of punishing the sen- ators for the evasion. But the moral eftect of the decision arrived at is || a grave blow to the traditions of our form of government, a grave extension of unblushing partisan- ship to a fleld not contemplated by the framers of our organic law, and in a way that is most pernicious as a_precedent.” Taking a similar position with re- gard to Army appointments, the; Mitchell (S. D.) Gazette (republican) sees not only “poor political policy,” but a handicapto “President Harding and the incoming administration” in confirming appointments which have been made by the out going adminis- | tration “to pay off old political debts| and strengthen chances of a return| to power.” In the opinion of the Ga-{ zette the republican majority is fully || justified “in the steps which they are *aking to strengthen the hands of the: in~omine Hardine administration.” The Boston Herald (independent re- publican) says: i “It would be contrary to all usage and to all rules of official propriety if a refiring administration were ajl- lowed to dump upon an incoming ad- ministration of different political faith and ideals a horde of its follow- | ers, in positions where they would be able to block improvement and re- trenchments and reforms. Certainly an administration which goes into office with such an overwhelming ma- jority behind it as that which was Ziven to Mr. Harding has a right to work out its policies unhampered by thousands. of left-overs in important official positions.” Fixing @ermany’s Fine. The allied supreme council is report- ed to have agreed on the total of Ger- many's indemnity. The amount I8 fixed at $67.000.000.000, to be spread over a period of forty-two years. The amount is staggering. But it is nowhere near the cost of the war to the allied nations, and it does not be- gin to pay for the destruction and suffering that Germany inflicted upon Europe. Germany is not entitled to the slightest shred of svmpathy. Germany was justified. however, in begging that the total amount be fixed, and fixed promptly. That was | a reasonable demand. It would have | { i { i heen a mistake to leave the amount indefinite, simply taking all that Ger- || many could pay year after year. That would be a burden under which no |! people could live. It would destroy ! both public credit and private enter- || prise. In the end it would breed either anarchy in Germany or a new European war, and very likely both. || The primary object of the indemnity || is reparation, not mere punishment or vengeance. Germany should pay all that she can pay, but to try to make || her pay more than she can pay would || be folly. The sum now fixed, big as it is, can be paid. Now that Germany knows the exact amount, she can azrange to take care of it. The only doubt is as ‘o what may happen among the na- tions before those forty-two years are up. We may be perfectly sure that Germany will try to execute some stroke that will relieve her of the last twenty, thirty or forty billions. It can all be collected if the allies are able to keep a united front for forty- two vears. But can they? Will the whole 67 billions ever be paid? Tt would take a strong optimist to an- swer with a confident “yes.—Adrian (Mich.) Telegram (independent). Local Stock Theaters.
