Mr. Bryan’s program for reorganiz- ing the democratic party has the merit of frankness and consistency. That is to say, it shows its author in the guise in which the country has come to know him. He is for peace—by arbitration, dis- armament, referendum, and all the rest of it. He would make the trea- ties he negotiated while Secretary of State the basis of action. He is for the ratification of a treaty by a majority rather than by a two- thirds vote of the Senate. He wanted the democrats of the Senate to ac- cept the Lodge reservations to the treaty of Versailles because a ma-} Jjority of the Senate had declared for them. He is for a rigid enforcement of the eighteenth amendment. There is no compromise in him on prohibition. He wants bank deposits in both na- tional and state institutions guaran- teed. He favors a single term in the presidency—a term of six years. He does not mention either coinage, or a tariff for revenue only. He may have overloocked them, or decided against their importance at this time. These are a few of the twenty-two planks of the platform Mr. Bryan offers. The platform is long. and in part without the merit of vigorous challenge. But it contains a good deal of challenge; and there are demo- crats as well as republicans who may, and will, find in it something to set, and keep, them thinking. For a man three times defeated for the country's greatest prize, Mr. Bryan keeps up his interest in politics amazingly well, and evidently intends to apply his best powers to the game during the coming three years. Cabinet Appointments. ‘There is some criticism of Mr. Hard- ing—a little mild and veiled—growing out of speculation about the cabinet. What claims, it is asked, has Mr. Daugherty, or Mr. Hays, or Mr. Weeks on attention as cabinet quantities but that associated with service in con- mnection with either the nomination or election of Mr. Harding, or both? ‘Why should he pay his debts with places of so much consequence? For argument sake, let it go at that. Let the party prominence of the three men mentioned be put aside, and their cases considered only on the basis of the capacity they showed and the as- sistance they rendered in last year's campaign. If Mr. Harding calls them to the cabinet table, will he be guilty of any unusual or unconventional thing? Daniel Manning and W. C. Whitney were foremost among the men who put Mr. Cleveland over in New York in 1884, and he called both to his cabi. net table. James G. Blaine was a strong in- fluencé’ 1% the nomination and election of Benhmin Harrison in 1888, and became’ Geh.- Harrison's Secretary of State. " Mark Hanna managed Mr. McKin- ley's campaigns, and might have had a cabinet:appointment. He preferred a seat in the-Senate, and President McKinley helped him secure it. William J. Bryan, W. K. McAdoo and A. S. Burleson rendered notable assistance to Mr. Wilson in 1912, and :;‘fln—ee“ ‘were made members of his gial family. ?e exhibition of a little gratitude npw and then is becoming in the highest placed men. Let us welcome 1t particularly in politics, where there s none too much of it. # Melodrama experts are of the opin- fon that the human fnterest of almost any congressional investigation might be helped along by sending for Mr. Dawes as a witness. } It becomes evident that a number of advice givers went to the Paris conkmuo and failed to function. i The-veto 1s coming to be regarded by a number of congressmen as a regular formaiity, / Sleeping Sickness, Bleeping sickness is becoming more prevalent in this country, Since the 1st of January 187 eases have devel- oped in the city of New York with 48 deaths, 120 in Chicago with 12 @eaths, 28 in Boston with 10 deaths, 24 in Detroit with 12 deaths, 18 in Cleveland with 9 deaths, 20 in Scran. ton with 2 deaths, 10 in Springfield, Mass., with 2 deaths, and 10 in Baiti- more with no deaths, This is & total | fn these 8 cities of 417 cases and 95 deaths. These figures show an alarming prevalence of a disease that has thus | far baffied medical science. Bo far as Inown there is no epecific cure for it, and the origin of the disease is a mat. ter of mystery. It s not known whether it is a primary or a secondary digease. Some authorities believe 1hat #¢ is the resuit of a specific infection, eonveyed in Africa by a biting fly. Inasmuch as that particular insect iy not known here some other “host” or medium of infection must be found to estabilsh the specific infection theory Jn the American cases. On the other hand, it is believed to be a secondary fleeaze, the result of meningitis or , #eme other ailmeat, There are cer- * tatwwimilsrities between the American nhuheen!.mw-dblothum'o trace the lines of contagion in these American cases, There has been no sporadic, indeed, and is thus difficult to treat on the community health basis. The high percentage of deaths makes it & menacs, however, and phy- sicians and health officers are dis- tressed at the prevalence, and are only consoled by the fact that here- tofore this particular ailment has waned after the passing of cold weather. It seems to be particularly a winter disease. The theory has been advanced that it is a belated aftermath of the in- fluenza. That terrible disease swept this country in 1918-19, and was slightly prevalent a year following. Sleeping sickness has only lately de- veloped on a large scale. If there is a connection between it and influenza it is a very peculiar manifestation. The direct inference is that this ‘“‘en- cephalitis lethargica,” which is the scientific name, is due to a degenera- tion of certain of the tissues or organs of the body induced by the influenza infection and slow of development. It would be alarming, indeed, to feel that those who suffered from influenza two years ago and apparently regained their health are now subject to an insidious breakdown. The hope isthat science will solve the mystery of the nature of this disease and will there- by gain ground toward its cure. Fighting for “Feminism.” A convention is being held in this city by the Woman's National Party, which during the fight for suffrage held a brief for militancy. This was the organization that promoted the picketing and parading and jail martyrdom in behalf of the suffrage movement. Now that the amend- ment is ratified the party comes to the point of a new decision. What is it to do? What is it to stand for? For what is it to fight? Those questions are now being con- sidered and they will be debated in the convention, probably with all the fearless frankness and the vigor that the members of the organization dis- played in their long propaganda of' publicity and agitation. It is sug- gested that the party now fight for “feminism.” It would be a mistake for it to identify itself with one or the other of the major parties. If it is to exercise any influence at all it should be in an independent po- sition. It should fight for principles rather than for partisanship or party candidates. “Feminism” has a broad meaning. It includes the admission of women to every activity. In this particular connection it means the fullest pos- sible participation of women in po- litical and administrative affairs. Some advocates urge that the women demand a fifty-fifty division of all offices. Particular mention is made just now of judgeships. One speaker at the convention has declared that the women do not want an unfair degree of protection in the law. At present in most states the husbands are responsible for the debts of their wives, while wiyes are not responsible for those of their hus- bands. This is regarded as discrimi- nation and one of the avowed pur- poses of the new party may be to wipe from the statute books all such laws, in order to put men and women on precisely the same basis. These matters adjust ‘themselves and probably more correctly by nat- ural process than by intensive agita- tion. A vigorous minority may se- cure enactments that will greatly dis- tress the majority who take less in. terest in politics, It is evident that if the women of the United States are to protect themselves either from too much “feminism” or from too much “masculinism” they must be just as busy and active in politics as the men, even though they do not follow the precepts of militancy. —————— The next woman suffrage statue in statuary hall will commemorate the achievement of the woman who makes the feminine vote so justly claimed register with accurate discernment and emphatic influence in the soly- tion of national problems, ————— If a stamp apparatus is employed in all the debt cancellations suggested it may be necessary to call into ac- tion some of the machinery of the Post Office Department, —— e No statuary is so strong in sentl. ment as to be frea from the {nnuendo of art critlcism, e McAdoo on Mexico, Former Becretary MoAdoo has just returned from a visit to Mexico City, ‘While there he met President Obre- gon, whe impressed him e capa- ble man of affairs, and for whom he predicts success in office, He reports Mexico as in better condition general. ly than at any time since the over- throw of Diasz, In the interview Mr, McAdoo gays: “Mexioo {8 a esuntry of vast unde- veloped natura) resourses, She Is ab- solutely dependent on foreign eapital for their development, which is essen- tial to the progress and prosperity ot her people. The enly available mar- ket for capital and credit is the United States. exican statesmen must, therefore, sea that the true interests of Mexico are friendship and goed un- derstanding with the Unit States, and that the controversies that have arisen between the twq countries over American rights in Mexzlco must be promptly and satisfactorily adjusted so that American capital will be as- sured the safety and protection which will induce it to engage jn a large way §n Mexican enterprises. Of course, gehabilitation of Mexico's credit '{s vital. This cannot be ac- complished until there is prompt rec- ognition and adjustment of Mexico's international obligations.” American capital hag always ve- sponded when invited into Mexico and assured of safety. And it has had much to do with the development which has taken piace in that country in the past forty years, and which was fast putting the eountry perma- nently on Easy street when the check of the revolution occurred. As Mr. McAdoo suggests, the United States is Mexico's only hope. Eu- rope is struggling with local condi- tions worse than those afflicting our southera neighbor, and not enly has no capital to spare for outside in-|sear. discover by making the proper over- tures and giving the proper guar- antees. ————et e vestments, but not enough to serve her own pressing requirements. This country is more fortunately circum- stanced than Europe, as Mexico can “Hero” Howat. Alexander Howat, president of Dis- trict 14, United Mine Workers of America, and five members of the executive - board were sentenced to one year in jail yesterday at Pitts- burg, Kan., for violation of an in- Jjunction issued last fall prohibiting the union officials from calling a strike in the coal fields of Kansas. This injunction was issued under the Kan- sas industrial law. In disregard of it a strike order was issued to the miners of one of the tompanies and yesterday's proceedings were the con- clusion of the court case against Howat and his associates. They have made a motion for a new trial, which was overruled, and have filed an ap- securing their release mean- peal, ‘while. Howat has been a storm center for some time in Kansas. He was ar- rested once before on a charge of violating the state law, and a crowd “gerenaded” him .in the jail in which he was confined, and he was allowed | by the shefiff to go out on the jail balcony and deliver an address of re- sponse. For this the sheriff was se- verely criticised. Howat is a hero in the eyes of the miners of Kansas and their sympa- thizers. He has defied the state in- dustrial law and the industrial court organized under it. His prosecution— denounced as ‘“persecution” by his followers—has put him in the class with Eugene Debs and probably has given him a political status. His ap- peal,will keep the case alive and prob- ably it will be a long time before he { actually serves his term, if ever. —— Concern for Caruso. It is stated in the dispatches from New York that telephone inquiries | at the rate of ten a minute have been | received at the hotel where Enrico Caruso is now lying 1ll. Additional phone operators have been posted sim- ply to handle this “traffic.” Greater interest could not be manifested in the condition and the chances of re-| covery of a great statesman, a na-| tional leader. Caruso is viewed as friend by a great multitude of people, most of whom have never seen him and many of whom have never even heard his voice except in the repro- duction machines. —_——— There is an impression that the ex- emption of high government officials from the income tax might deprive them of that close intellectual and temperamental sympathy with the common people which is regarded as a most desirable asset in constructive statesmanship. ————— Massachusetts shoe manufacturers are resentful of legislative efforts to abolish high heels. High heels may be unhyglenic, but there is little evi- dence of the fact in the health and energy of a generation of women that has secured the ballot. —_————————— The Georgia judge who on the evi- dence of a policeman fined himself for violating traffic regulations sug- gests a course of procedure which Senator Dial might be inclined to commend to Judge Landls. ———— A speech from the English throne {s subject more or less to amendments and possibly reservations and inter- pretations, SHOOTING STARS.

A few writers make the suggestion, however, that America agree to wipe the slate clean if the forelgn powers agree to disarmament. Although some grant the British argument that John Bull's plan is really based upon altruism, since he owes less than is owed to him, most editors call attentian to the fact that many of the debts to Britain, like that of Russia, are *“bad” anyhow, while others point out that the allies are pretty well ded down with the “*spoi of in which the United States did not share.

An almost overwhelming sentiment in this country in favor of the income tax as one of the sources of federal revenue is indicated in the answers to a series of questions submitted to the national courcil of the National Economic League, in the form of a questionnaire. Somewhat less than 10 per cent of the 530 members who answered the questions were recorded in opposition to the federal tax on in. comes. The replies were divided about half and half between those who would retain and those who would change the present minima of taxable incomes, and of those who favored a change two-thirds are re- corded as favoring a lowering of the minima. Perhaps as reflecting the financlal status of the answering members, the vote went against the present surtax on {ncomes above $6,000, and a large majority favored a reduction in the surtax. Tho ex- cess profits tax is about as unpopular as the income tax {s popular with the council. The vota stood 130 yes to 368 no on the question of retaining that method of ralsing revenue, but that vote was almoest exactly reversed on the question of retaining the fed- eral inheritance tax, The proposal to tax the site valuo of land, that is, the portion of the value due to the pres- enco and activities of the commu- nity and to natural advantages, min- eral deposits, harbor frontages and the like, met with strong disapproval, the vate being 162 for and 317 against.
