He was de- -scribed as a victim of incertitude; as leaning helplessly and obediently on strong men; as without policies of his own. Time—a score of years—has shown the absurdity of that appraisement. He was a strong man who worked through the agendies of conferences and concessions. He liked to have strong men around him, and profited from their suggestions. He knew strength when he met it, and valued it. At the start he was not inclined to the taking over of the Philippines. But reflection convinced him that the step ‘was a matter of duty. The United States had gone to war to free Cuba from intolerable conditions, and here on our hands were the Philippines, ‘where similar conditions had existed, and would exist again if we withdrew. As we could not afford to leave the islands to their own devices, or turn them over for a consideration to any other nation, we decided, under Mr. McKinley's leadership, to remain and take title ourselves. And thus, as the phrase goes, we became a world power. Mr. Coolidge gongratulated the peo- ple of Ohio and the country thata man of the McKinley mold is now in the White House and predicted good re- sults from his presence there. The Law and the Lynchers. ‘This is from Moultrie, Ga.: “John Henry Willlams, negro slayer of Lorena Wilkes, twelve-year-old ‘white girl, was burned at the stake today by a mob after he had been con- victed of first-degree murder and sen- tenced to be hanged July §. The prisoner was taken from the officers @as he was being escorted from t' courtroom and was rushed to scene gf his crime, wivere he was tied : 10 the stump of a tree.” What is to be cited, what is citable, to excuse this lynching? The victim, it is true, had deserved death. He had committed the most appalling of crimes, for which the law of Georgia prescribes death. & But he had just been convicted under the law, and the day of execution—an early day—set. There had been no delay about bringing the wretch to trial. Everything had been done reg- ularly, and the processes justified. And yet the mob would not wait. ‘ It insisted on instant execution, sub- stituted itself for the officers of the law, who would have carried out the law’s decree, and substituted for the means prescribed by the law means repugnant to civilization. Where is the community that would vote to re- place the rope or the electric chair ‘with the torch? + Shall we see the perpetrators of this crime brought to book? Probably not. The time was day. No mention is , made of masks. The members of the mob must have been known to all ob- servers. But the lynching spirit is so strong now, not only in Georgia, but elsewhere, that those who show it do ' 80 With a feeling and an air of im- mupity from punishment which should, but do not, arouse the anxiety of the ‘whole country. ————————— + Asimplified system of appropriations will enable Congress to give more at- ; tention to questions which although more or less of an abstract economic N Musical comedies have become so f expensive that producers are thinking + of introducing music and comedy to take the place of costumes and scenery. Greece, Turkey and the Powers. King Constantine has gone over to Bmyrna to supervise in person the Greek military operations in Asia Minor, and it is interesting to note that about the same time notes have been sent by England, France and Ttaly asking Greece to postpone her offensive against Turkey and accept their mediation. Whether there is any relation between these two circum- v stances is not disclosed. Judging from dispatches from Constantinople, Con- stantine has not had a. particularly good effect upon the troops, many of whom are Venizelists and whose loyalty to the crown is naturally, therefore, :momewhat in doubt. The king, it ap- . pears, has been seeking, since his ar- rival at Smyrna, to restore the morale of the army by appealing to the Hel- Jenic ‘sentiment of the troops, regard- Jess of political affiliations. But the Cretans and others, still feeling the influence of Venizelos, have been cold toward these overtures, and military Judges are inclined to the opinion that the Greek army as it stands today is 4 incapable of a successful campaign.

One hundred and four young women will receive their degrees this week from Radcliffe College at Cambridge, Mass. In response to inquiries, they have made known the occupations that they intend to pursue after gradua- tion. They bave enumerated no less than twenty-four different lines of work, which is just about twelve times as many as would have been indicated in response to & questionnaire of this kind twenty or thirty years ago. And the difference in range represents a remarkable widening of the sphere of women i1 modern times. Those 104 young women twenty or thirty years ago would have followed just about two lines—teaching and matrimony, the latter prospective if not assured. There were practically no other pros- pects even for college graduates a third of a century ago. Some lectured and few studied for the professions, with little hope of ever gaining recog- nition. Teaching and matrimony! Those were about the limits. Now the Radcliffe graduates indicate not only teaching, but secretarial work, busi- ness, commercial art, music, medicine, nursing and laboratory work. Thirty- one per cent of them intend to be teachers, the largest percentage. But only 4 per cent of them are preparing for early marriage. This does not mean that only 4 per cent of them will marry. Probably many of the re- mainder will later take husbands, in- tending to go on with their profes- sional work. Some of them will thus combine matrimony and independent occupation. The mere fact that so many plan to strike out on their own courses, probably in most cases as a matter of choice rather than neces- sity, marks the great change that has come about, a change that has been so gradual that there is no disturbance or surprise. Present-day society has adjusted itselt to the presence of women in all lines of work. Women have sat in Congress—one is there now; women are on the bench; women are in public administrative offices; women are in business, in high execu- tive positions and bearing great re- sponsibility; women are directing large commercial institutions; women are “No pent-up Utica contracts our powers and the whole of this broad continent is ours.” i Lenin and Trotsky have survived their ailments reported some time ago.

Some time ago it was intimated that the Canadian government might take a hand in the matter of Grover Cleve- land Bergdoll, American military de- serter now sojourning in Germany, on the ground that he reached Germany on a forged Canadian passport. It has now been announced by the Cana- dian minister of justice that the gov- ernment at Ottawa has this move under consideration. This is perhaps in consequence of a recent petition by the American Legion asking the Cana- dian War Veterans' Association to bring the case of this deserter to the government’s attention. * If Canada can get Bergdoll back to that country his extradition thence to the United States will be an easy mat- ter to accomplish. Official relations have been restored between Great Bri- tain and her dependencies/and Ger- many. If Bergdoll actually got away from this continent through Canada by a forged Canadian passport he is probably, subject to extradition on de- mand from Ottawa, preferred through London. It remains to be seen whether the government at Berlin will sur- render him if such a requisition i way out of what has become a diffi- t was living conte; edly among 800 of his followers, who now form a real farming colony on about 500,000 acres of land in north- ern Durango. In six months, the re- port said, the colony will have 50,000 bushels of wheat ready for the market from several thousand acres under cultivation, planted also to corn, beans and other vegetables. “The farm is described as onc of the most productive in northern Mexico, with Villa as its manager. He has started schools to accommodate 500 children and arranged with the Mexi- Economic Co-Operation in Europe. Indications of a rapprochement be- tween France and Germany will be welcomed by all who do not allow sentiment to obscure appreciation of the world's need for peace and pro- duction.

Villa, the former marauder, serving as “chiet and instructor” of a colony of nearly a thousand ‘“former marauders”? Peace and plenty? Schools, and probably churches? Well, why not? Take the case of our own Jeese James. Primarily, Col. James was a robber, country banks a specialty. On the side, and very profit- ably on the side, he was a turfman. He raced under the name of Mr. Howard, and raced fairly. His entries had the confidence of the racing world. His horses were never pulled, but al- ‘ways negotiated the distance on the square. They hoofed it from ‘“eend to eend,” and won whenever possible. Their owner was welcome at the meets, and, it was the belief, not un- known in his real character at some of them. He made money with his “ponies”; and some of his admirers claimed at the time of his assassina- tion that his taking off was unneces- sary; that as a highwayman he was “through™; that he had robbed his last bank and had entered on a career of straight and friendly dealings with the world. Now, if Gen. Villa will keep his back turned on marauding and continue in his present pursuits the new order in Mexico will invite the greater confi- dence.

France having the iron and Germany coal, each needs the other's re- sources. German pre-war imperial- ism sought to join them by force. French imperialism would like to do the same. But neither ambition is practicable, though the economic ne- cessity remains. ; inly the interest of the United of the American p-ople as a is clear. It is the restoration newed efficient functioning of the economic machinery of Europe, which depends now largely upon the restoration of central Europe to co- operation with western Europe in pro- duction and trade. If French re- sources and German are divided we shall have no restoration of economic efficiency, but a constant urge, through politics and arms, to bring about the necessary unification of dismembered parts.—Chicago Tribune (independent republican). The Immigrant and Ice Cream. On the theory, perhaps, that man's physique, habits and eventually man- ner of thought may be influenced by his diet, they have been starting the Americanisation process at Ellis Island by introducing the new ar- rivals to ice cream. It appears to have been a success, literally a howling success at times. One gets a suggestion that this ice cream innovation offers possibilities in the way of development, a progress from generalisation to specialization. Ice cream may be called a national dish of America. It I8 1ike north and south, east and west. AS a test of the immigrant, therefore, it is a sort of general measure of his adaptability. Eut suppose it be followed by in- quiry into the subject's degree of re- ceptivity, and thusof peculiar adapt- ability, to regional staples. Manifestly one with avidity for pie would be hap- piest in the great pie belt. Eager and instinctive yearning for watermelon would point the directing finger to the land where the melon patches most do abound. For him who displays dis- position to active co-operation in be- coming corn-fed are spread the wide expanses of the middle west. And so it would go everywhere. The process of divisions of the immigrant flood, of direction of its parts to logical destinations, would proceed under a new theory and doubtless with great- er success. Instead of telling a hesi. tating stranger that this or that com- munity needs him because it has work for him to do, far greater persuasion might be exercised by confiding to him that there is his own especial 1and, not of milk and honey, but of the American food product that steers straight for his right spot. Boston would inevitably draw the inherently disposed to the fellowship of the bean; New Orleans would welcome the prompt admirer of gumbo; nobody with a nattradl gift for hog and hom- iny would be wasted north of Mason and Dixon's line. Thus the matter of hastening assimilation would be promoted by sing from the mis- cellaneous melting pot idea to the fireless cooker, as it were, with sea- soning to tast i (independent republican). Secretary Wallace on the Farmers. Henry C. Wallace, Becretary of Agriculture, has uttered some dis- turbing truths about the present farm situation in the United States. ‘What Secretary Wallace has given public utterance to sounds very much like the talk which has been brand- ed as “bolshevism” and “red soclal- ism” here in the northwest. ‘When the Secretary of Agriculture it becomes * “a matter for rm”; when the farmer himself says it, it is “radicalism.” ‘Agriculture is not organized as is industry,” he declares. “It would be a fine .thing for the farmers—in- deed, for the nation—Iif agriculture were 80 organized. * The result is that the farmer getting consid- erable less for his products than it costs to produce them. ¢ * ® There is a large margin between what the producer gets and what the consumer pays. This margin is far larger reta- tively than before-the war. A part of it is due to the increased freight rates, and a part of it is due to in- creased margins charged by every one along the way.” If these general observations of Secretary Wallace are put into con- creté terms we find him declaring that a combination of greedy middle~ men, increased freight rates under the Esch-Cummins law, and farmers unprotected by organization have produced a _situation ideal for the profiteer and tragic for the farmer. The nation should be grateful that : She Secretary of Agrioulture now sees what has been patent to_the farmer for the last ten years.
