Agreement on terms for the restora- tion of Shantung to China is a triumph for straightforwardness as against cir- cuitousness in diplomacy. It is a triumph also for patience and deter- mined endeavor beyond the point where abandonment of the enterprise might have seemed to be justified. With the Shantung controversy out of .the. way, and with agreement reached as to maintenance of the status quo in Pacific fortifications, a near and successful conclusion of the arms and far eastern conference is in sight. It is true that ratification of the agreements by the United States Sen- ate remains to be achieved, but that may not be as difficult as it seems. There will be opposition in the Senate, of course, but public sentiment ap- parently is overwhelmingly back of the conference treaties, and public sentiment is as potent an influence in the Senate as it is elsewhere. The conference is destined to close without having accomplished all that was hoped from it by those who were more optimistic than they were in- formed. But already it has accom- plished a greapdeal more than was be- lieved possible by those who had un- derstanding of the difficultles to be overcome. An accomplishment bigger even than the agreements it has ‘ar- rived at is the influence it will have on the future intercourse of nations. Never again will the public opinion of the world support the course of any government which refuses to take its ‘grievances into conference and seek every possible means of peaceful ad- justment. And. the world having seen the difficult and menacing problems of the Pacific yield to negotiations in the Washington conference, it will not readily believe that there can exist between nations any differences which would not yield to the same treatment. B — Help the Birds. ! “Have a heart” for the birds. This has been a “spell of weather” which has put them on short rations, or on no rations at all. No charge can truly be made against the birds that they are shiftless or that they lack indus- try and enterprise. It is admitted that they are “early to bed and early to ris They have done the best pos- sible under the circumstances, but cir- cumstances have been adverse. Each morning sinc: the snow they have had no breakfast unless it were furnished by their thoughtful and charitable friends. They have had no lunch. They:! have had to pass up all thoughts of efternoon tea. They have gone to roost, or have retired to some very cheerless nest, without a bite of supper. Their luck is hard. They have not been able to get at the seeds of grass and weeds because of the depth of snow, and such breadcrumbs and crusts as have been passed out to them by their man friends, woman friends and child friends have been a great help to them. A scap box or any other kind of a box turned upside down and set on top of the woodshed, fence post and even on top of the snow in the back vard will help, but it would be better to set the box where crafty and vicious cats will not intrude. Out in the sub- urbs and in those parts of the city where the houses have “lots,” crows, jays,” starlings, cardinals, chickadees and bluebirds have attended the char- ity spreads, and the juncos and poor sparrows have been numerous and ap- preciative. . ————— The tragic death of Lewis Strayer the Pittsburgh Dispatch and Chauncey Brainerd of the .Brooklyn Eagle removes two figures from Wash- ington’s newspaper life whose loss'will be widely and deeply deplored. Per- sonally unostentatious, as befitted men ‘whose chosen occupation it is to study events not for purposes of self-exploita- tion but for public information, they were nevertheless known, admired and beloved by a far greater circle of friends and readers than they them- selves probably realized. The warm affection in which they were held by nt all with whom duty or friendship brought them into contact was a re- ‘ward even more to be valued than the sincere recognition so freely accorded their attainments in a highly responsi- ble fleld of journalistic sérvice. e S — Storm has left the fire department at an unusual and unavoidable disad- vantage. Every household is in duty ‘bound to organize itself for fire pre- vention. The man with & hoe is less conspicu- ous in the public eye for the moment than the man with a snow shovel. Historic Tragedies. The Knickerbocker Theater tragedy is that of greatest magnitude ever suf- fered by Washington. It is great and sad enough to bring to nearly all the people of this city deep and poignant sadness. There have been other catas- trophes in, or close to, Washington that have profoundly moved our peo- ple. These were not so costly in life as was the horror of Saturday, but the population and urban area of Wash- ington were nothing like so large and the depression was perhaps as pro- found as now. The thoughts of many Washing- tonians will go back to the night ot the Terra Cotta wreck and the day of the collapse of the floors of the Ford’s Theater buflding. Older citizens or those well read in 50c|a few minutes previous. local annals will recall the burning of the steamboat Wawasset on 'Friday, August 8, 1873. Beventy-two <pas- sengers were lost by fire or drowning— that is, seventy-two bodies were re- covered. The loss of lifo was probably greater. Many of the victims could never be identified, and it was as- sumed that some bodies were never found. This tragedy took place near Chaiterton Landing on the Virginia side of the Potomac about forty miles telow Washington and about ten miles this side of Mathias Point. Bome will recall the arsenal explo- sion which took place on Friday, June the | 18, 1864. The Evening Star, in its ex- tra, said: At ten minutes to 12 o'clock today a terrible catastrophe occurred at the arsenal which has cast a gloom over the whole community and rendered sad many a heart that was buoyant ‘While one t girls were at work in the main 1 ratory making car- tridges for small arms a quantity of fireworks which had been placed on the outside ‘of the’building became ignited, and a piece of fuse ;yln‘ into one of the rooms Inh which were seated about twenty-nine -young_ women set the cartridges on fire and caused an explosion. In Congréssional cemetery is a monument built by the people of ‘Washington to the victims of the ex- vlosion. . Some of oyr people well vérsed in local history femember reading of the gun explosion of the frigate Princeton February 28, 1844. President Tyler, members of his cabinet and their fami- lies and many other prominent pér- sons to the number of 400 were invited by Commodore Stockton to spend a day on the frigate. A héavy gun was fired several times for the entertain- ment of the company. The Princeton was lying off Broad creek seven milgs below Washington when the gun was fired for the last time. The breech from the trunnions back was blown off and the barrel of the gun split in two. Those killed were Abel P. Upsehur, Secretary of State; Thomas W. Gilmer, Secretary of the Navy; Commodore Kennen of the Navy, Representatives Sykes of New Jersey and Maxey of Maryland and a Mr. Gardiner, an ex- representative from New York. Those wounded were Willlam Wilkins, Secre- tary of War; Miss Wickliffe, daughter of the Postmaster General; Senator Benton, Col. Dade, Judge Phelps, Commodore Stockton and seventeen seamen, some of the latter morta.lly. ——te The Kenyon Appointment. Everything connected with the Ken- yon appointment commends it. The President, with an important place to fill, and desirous of filling it with a man well suited to its duties. turned to one whom he knew and about whose qualifications there could be no question. The felicity of his choice was confessed in the Senate’s highly complimentary action in ratify- ing the appointment immediately. ‘The appointee, serving the country with distinction in one office, had op- portunity to begin service in another better to his personal taste, and em- braced it. Senafor Kenyon gives place to Judge Kenyon; and, so far as the country is concerned, a fair exchange is no robbery. The federal bench, always important, was never more important than now. The new times call for new laws, and the new laws call for interpretations by men abreast of the times. The new member of the federal ju- diciary is a forward-looking man, in the prime of life, in perfect health, and should be good for a score or more years in office. His predilection to the bench is supported by a thorough equipment for duty there; and he fakes up the duty with the confidence and good will of the public. And the in- sight into public questions and gov- ernmental operations he has gained in politics will be of advantage to him in the fleld to which he has been trans- ferred. ——————— Lord Bryce favored an endowed newspaper, on lines, of course, apart from considerations of profit. There have been a number of more or less endowed newspapers, although they have not regarded it as necessary to parade the fact. A ——— e A very little investigation will re- veal to national legislators the fact that Washington, D. C., is a city whose size entitles it to ample, expert and reasonably compensated service in safeguarding its citizens and its visitors. ———e— e The accidents of ordinary life create more scenes of suffering and destruc- tion than human sympathy ought to be compelled to endure, without tol- erating deliberate warfare. e e An appeal is made for the same thoughtfulness of the poor in a time of extraordinary stress as was displayed so splendidly during the holiday sea- hundred and e, son. The news that there is to be no food shortage is welcome at a time when every ablebodied citizen is expected to get out and take exercige. P Sir Ernest Shackleton. ‘When the Norsemen coasted along some hostile shore the natives called out to them, “Whence are ye, and whom call ye master?” The proud Norsemen, ‘their yellow hair flying, called back: *“We are from the round world, and we call no man master!” such was the.spirit of Sir Ernest Shackleton, intrepid antarctic explorer, whose life was brought to an untimely end early this month at South Georgia, an island of the unmapped antarctic, at the comparatively early age of forty-eight years. Shackleton was not only a great explorer, a man of steel ‘who gloried in hardship and privation, but he was & great dreamer, & man with & vision. When death caught him in harbor it took him unaware, and ended his dreams as well as his life. - The average man, realising vaguely the travall of far-north and far-south travels, often wopders what it is that calls men from thie warm fireside, from home and-clvilisation, to endure such hardships. The answer must be that some men are.born with the love for adventure, and they are held ¢o their self-appointed tasks by the ability to dream dreams. - Shackleton was an admirable ex- ample of such & man, one endowed above others with the spirit of adven- ture ap wall’as the qualities of the dreamer. 'He siw in his stretches of uncharted coun £ wanted to see them.. He pushed on. So he went on this last exploration; his little vessel, the Quest, being com- pletely equipped with wireles$ and a seaplane, and other modern dnventions to lessen difficulties as much as pos- -sible and make success more sure. Then death overtook him, and sent him on the great explioratjon. The world is a better place, as well as a larger one, because of Ernest S8hackle- ton. * } Heroic Firemen. Again the men of the District fire department have met the test, Wash- ington always has had supreme faith in her firefighters. In the past they have proved their efficiency and hero- ism many times. # But perhaps never have these quali- tles been more strikingly shown than during the gigantic .efforts put forth by the score and more fire companies which attended the Knickerbocker Theater disaster. First upon thé scene, the firemen lost nmo time in turning themselves from firefighters into rescuers, men of mercy, using their training as fire- men to fight a disheartening mass of steel which was crushing the lives out strike in 1916, qf hundreds. All that terrible night and all day Sunday the firemen weré there, hack- ing, sawing, pulling out the wounded and tenderly bearing away the dead. *|Necessity Developed Resl Co-Operation Among Dairymen FARMERS' co-operative esso- ciation which really . go- operates, in which the farm- ers turn the entire proceeds from their products into a general Pool to be divided pro rata among the members and in which the mem- bers share equally in the losses or. profits, was described by Albert J. Manning, secretary 'of the Dairymen’s League Co-Operative Association, Inc., of Utica, N. Y., who attended the agricultural conference hera last week, The co-operative association is the outgrowth of the origipal dalrymen's league formed back in 1916, when the farmers supplying milk in _the terri- tory surrounding New York city finally arose into definite action in their protest against the prices being paid them by the dealers. The sys- tem up until that time, Mr. Man- ning sald, was oppressive to the farmer. He said that the dealers figured what they considered the maximum price which they could ob- tain, retail, and then, after deducting their share, gave the farmer what was left. * K ok % This led to the first great milk when the farmers dumped their milk rather than longer to sell at a loss. An acreement was reached and for some time thereafter the price was set from the other point of view. The farmer, through the ‘Without thelr skilled help, their acute | league, estimated the price necessary understanding of just what to do and how to do it, the toll of the catas- trophe would be higher today. During the same eventful night many fires broke out over the city, and other companies responded, con- tending with wellnigh impassable snow. But they got to their fires. They put the fires out. Chief Watson and all his men en- gaged, all the men of the department, in fact, are to be congratulated. They have the grateful thanks of the city, and, best of all, the satisfaction of knowing that in the hour of need they ‘were strong. * Shackleton might have lived longer had he chosen a career involving less hardship. His choice was no doubt a deliberate one. The higher types of humanity have invariably loved honor more than ease. # "China 1s only just beginning to take an active interest in the. diplomatic game, and may vet turn out to be what is technically known as a smooth performer. i Railway executives are inclined to devote some emphasis to a discussion of what the government did not know about running a railroad. & The official who cuts down expenses is the accredited economist, but the man whose income is reduced has to do the real economizing. i ‘The snowfall was too heavy even for the small boy with a sled.

From the New Orleans Item. Elsewhere on this page appears an argumernt by Theodore W. Noyes of Washington In favor of a constitu- tional amendment to provide repre- sentation in Congress and the elec- toral college_ for the citizens of the District of Colum¥ia. Mr. Noyes is publisher_of The Washington Star and s s for practically all the organizations of any importance in the District, as well as its citizens at large. ‘The people of our National Capital are incontestably entitled to repre- sentation in Congress. Half a mil- lion are now dwelling in Washington. It is not unreasonable to anticipate that a million Americans will live there within the next thirty or forty yoars., They are, of course, equal in intelligence, wealth, character and responsibllity ‘to the other citizens of the United States. They should not be disfranchised by an accident of_residence. 3 ‘We trust Louisiana’s senators and representatives will support the con- tfluuanfl amehdment proposed® in ehalf of the citizens of the Distriot of Columbia.

The big problem of the surplus milk, however, was left unsettled. During the war period it was not so press- ing, for the demand for condensed milk was 8o great that it could bardly be filled and milk was worth even more to the condensaries than it was at fluid prices. With the sudden stag- nation in the market which became evident in 1920, the manufacturers were up againet a hard proposition, finding_that the surplus that nor- mally developed through the summer was_not moving as it should, and a few” days before October 1, 1920, notice was served on the {armers that on and after that date tht condensed milk companies desired no milk until their stocks were reduced. * k %k k This put the problem fairly before the league and the pooling plan was| the outcome. It was a plan so all- embracing, go visionary and, to some people, g0 impractical that its adop- tion would have been doubtful ex- cepting for the very grave emergency that practically forced it into being. The results, says Mr. Manning, have | warranted the action taken by the d rectors of the league in putting the plan into effect. Briefly. the plan requires that each of the signers of the contract shall bind himself for at least a year to instruct the person to whom his milk is delivered to-send payment for the milk to the headquarters of the as- sociation. At the end of the month, the dealer purchasing the milk from the indi- vidual farmer renders to the league a statement of the welght delivered and sends a check for payment. The entire gross return, figured on a 3 per cent fat basis, is averaged, and each farmer gets his pro rata share after certain deductions arte made. Under the ol@ system, some dealers’ have been negligent about paying up. and at times bankruptcy has robbed the farmer of the money due him from the dealer. This is all taken care of by the assocliation. If a dealer is lax, he I8 warned to pay promptly, and If he fails to heed the warning, the association establishes a plant of its own to take care of the milk in that territory. Should a dealer go bankrupt, the reserve fund of the association pays the farmer the amount due him. * ok k% The association now has In opera- tion approximately 100 plants, ten:of them being condensaries. The total in- vestment represented is a little more than $2,500,000. 2 In the main office at Utlca, N. Y., $6,000,000 & month passes through the hands of the directors before going to the farmers. The directors, by the way, according to the rules of the dssociation must all be owners of actual producing dairies. The league had a total member- ship of nearly 80,000, of whom 62,000 have taken the further step forward of joining the co-operative associa- tion. The balince, says Mr. Manning, on April 1, must either join, or lo the benefits they now derive by hav- ing the association dispose of their milk without aiding in the burden of the venture. To further aid in the work, the state farm bureaus, and the grange have joined in forming the G. F. L. or the grange-farm bureau-league federa- tion for the co-operative buying of feed and seed. * * | This concern has built a plant at Buffalo at a cost of $1,000,000, re- placinig one which burned down just fafter completion last fall. Here ra- tions for the dairies will be mixed and seed handled at cost. The association has spread so that six states are represented in she membership, the six being, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts/ Vermont, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The prospects for the future seem very bright to Mr. Manning, and he cites the example as proof that co- { .| operative buying and selling among farmers is a feasible plan and one that will aid in reducing the ultimate jcosts and yet give to the farmer a |wuarantee against ruin through de- pression and juggling of markets. EDITORIAL DIGEST Sectional Views on St. Lawrence ‘Waterway. President Harding's indorsement of the St. Lawrence waterway project follows the favorable report of the international joint commission, which has been studying the subject, and the introduction of legislation in Con- gress designed to carry out the com- recommendations. With mission’s these three definite steps already taken the question of the actual realization of the project, the Newark News (independent) says, “becomes one of immediate practical interest.” Public sentiment on the “lakes-to- sea” proposal, as expressed by edi- torlal comment, is influenced mark- edly by geographical location, or, more accurately, by proximity to a harbor or to navigation facilities. The Atlantic seaboard, from Portland to Baltimore, rises as one man to oppose the whole scheme. On the other hand. Portland's attitude is not that of New England as a whole, nor is New York’s representative of the state, for inland New England and inland New York are disposed to join hands with the middle west in support. Letting editors speak for them- selves, however, we find the Portland Press-Herald opposing both the canal route and the water-power project. the first because “if it becomes a reality the Atlantic ports will suffer the loss of considerable business” and “Portland will feel the effects of it.” o2t Veapacity as_the principal port of the country “New York has the most at stake” the World of that city declares. So wh‘a“(. asks its neighbor, the Tribune, ‘is New York going to do” about lhg‘ international waterway scheme? Aside from the question of port and terminal facilities, New York state, 'ribune points out: thfo’l\;vm; s Peompeting _route, that from Oswego to the Mohawk and thence to tidewater. This route is shorter, capable of operation for a longer period each vear, and is the short route to foreign ports. It lies within American territory and its development ., will help American shipping and .add to national re- sources. Why go to Canada in search of a new oullet”for the commerce of ake region?” e kougn New York has been most prominent in_opposition,” Philadel- phia raises its voice, through the Evening Bulletin, to *announce that “sentiment in this port seems no less opposed to the Canadian waterway, for one reason, since ‘there are grave doubts that this waterway would actually put Chicago and Du- luth and the rest of the lake ports on the Atlantic coast” the money might better be spent in the devel- opment of existing facilities. But even granting that ‘“a Duluth-to- Liverpool route” would cheapen transportation “between the heart of the United States and Europe” its carriage by way of an international- ized waterway would probably mean, as the Baltimore Sun forecasts it, that “British ships will absorb more business than now goes to American railroads” Indeed, “it might well mean the ruin of many of our trunk lines, without yielding any corre- sponding benefit to any American in- terests,” and while admittedly rail- road revenues should not stand in the way of waterway development, nev- ertheless it must be remembered that the project is the development of a Canadian, mot an American, wa- terway. On the other hand, the Buf- falo Express remarks that “we woul all favor” the-building of Jthe canal 2¢it “really would cheapen She trans- portation of farm and othler western products,” because what “New York might lose in transfer trade it ‘would make up in increased sales resulting from the greater prosperity In the in- terior.” But its objection is the same as that of the Buffalo Times, “busi- ness conditions, impracticability from the engineering and navigation points of view, vested rights, the need of civic. economy and the mandates of common sense all militate against it. The Chicago News reports “four- teen states of the great west, as well as Canada, on record s ear- nestly in favor of this ‘magnificent water highway to the mdrkets of the world.” The west “wants the waterway,” the Chicago Journal says, and the Superior (Wis.) Telegram re- lies that “it has made up its mind o have it.” The waterway “is going to be, constructed,” asserts the St. Paul oneer-Piess; ‘“the producing Interests of every state touching the reat lakes are entitled by right to fi. ¢ the benefit of any advantage Evening = in transportation routes to thelr market.” The Brazil Fair. A great exposition Will be opened at Rio de Janeiro on September 7 of this year, in honor of the 100th anni- versary of Brazilian independence. A commission appointed by the Presi- dent will sail from New York shortly to take up with Brazilian officials the p_rqblems incident to American par- ticipation. Congress already has voted an appropriation of a mfllion dollars to insure that this country will be fitly represented. There are great possibilities for the promotion of both friendly feeling and commercial interests in sueh an undertaking. The United States will do well to take an active part in making the exposition as a whole successful and her own share note- worthy. There have been plenty of attempts open and disgulsed to under- mine both the friendly and the busi- ness hold of the United States in South America. The exposition offers an excellent opportunity to defeat such schemes.—Asbury Park (N. J.) Press (independent). The Nose as a Guide to Literature. Sherwood Anderson, Chicago novel- ist, has made a speclal hit with one eastern critic by the savory smells which he puts into some of his latest stories. The fresh outdoor odors of the race track in the early morning and the scent of breakfast on the {fire are particularly commended. This tritic even goes so far as to say that Mr. Anderson is the only ‘novelist with a real nose who 18 now writing. The rest are “destitute of the olfac- tory sense, anesthetic to smells.” This is certainly one good talking Point for the outdoor story as against the indoor variety. It is & reminder of how many present-day novels are concerned purely with social prob- lems and mental struggles. A good many novelists never leave the city, some never leave the house and a few never get outside of their own cere- bellums. The sStuffy atmosphere pre- vailing under these conditions doubt- less makes it just as well for the possibilities, It is hardly likely that an author can become a best seller purely on his_smelling points, however tempt- ingly his story appeals to the read- er's nostrils. But the nose is oe tainly one point in an all-around aj peal, and not at all a bad check on ex- treme types of realism..
