The new movement, advertised from Chicago, for “installing men and wom- en of the working class in the nation's legislative halls” is pitched in the ex- treme key that both of the old parties are corrupt, that both have been de- bauched by the same agencies and that from neither is good to be ex- pected any more. The remedy sug- gested is to scrap both and put some- thing honest, well intentioned and ef- fective in their places. But what is the reliance? To whom 1s the appeal addressed? The two old | parties divide the electorate between them. True, there are several other organizations, but they are of small proportions—so small they do not count in the equation. We are asked, then, to believe that the electorate through its leaders has been tampered with to the extent that either it no longer knows, or no longer cares, about its real interests; that it is not a good judge of men for leader- ship, or else prefers leaders who can “do business” with corrupt and cor- rupting outside ‘influences. H If this is true, what hope is there of reform under our present institu- tions, which rest upon the intelligence and character of the people? If they have failed so signally once they may fail as signally again. Why not try institutions of another form? But tk critics are not proposing, nor will they propose, any change. They are still advocating “‘government of the people, by the people, for the people,” while declaring that such a government, after functioning for over a century, has come to represpnt only the selfish greed of a corrupt few. Keep Bonus Issue Clear. Injudicious advocates of a soldier bonus who have been making appeals to sympathy for disabled veterans a part of their propaganda have been called to account by patients at Walter Keed Hospital. The “war patients’ committee” at the hospital has unani- mously adopted a resolution *‘protest ing against the use of pictures of a crippled or legless soldier or disabled veteran for pro-bonus propaganda by any periodical, magazine or news- across. The judge was known to be an honest man, and it was accepted that the man he recommended was honest. The theory of the whole proceeding was that if the young applicant did not have sense enough and did not lknow law enough to make aliving, he % would retire from the profession and return to chopping timber or hauling logs or raising corn. The system was far different from the modern plan of turning out lawyers, but the results were not bad. Many of the ‘“un- schooled” lawyers became great law- yers and great men. The outstanding feature ‘of the old system was that not so much emphasis was laid on knowl- edge of the law as on character in the practice of it. A man’s reputation for truth, sincerity, straightforwardness and all the elements of honesty gave him prestige with judge, jury and pub- lic opinion which mere knowledge of the law and all its ways could not give him. Though not “schooled” in the modern sense, this old-time lawyer was apt to know well the principles, his- tory and philosophy of the law. He was apt to know something of the statutes of his state, but that was a matter that could be looked up as oc- sion required. That thing which one calls “char- acter” counts for as much at the bar today. It is the tremendous increase in the amount of law to be studied; the hundreds of volumes of principles, decisions and opinions with which modern lawyers must be familiar, which calls for the additional later-day qualification of a lengthy and care- fully planned schooling preparatory to legal practice. —_——————— ; Unrest in Germany. There are growing indications of & situation in Germany of unrest ahd discontent which any day may result n the overthrow of the Wirth govern- ment and accession to power of a re- actlonary element which would make much more difficult than it now is the problem of reconstructing Europe. Chancellor Wirth has been the one hope for a reasonable solution of the reparations question, and even the French, suspicious of everything Ger- man, had finally come to have con- fidence in his good intentions. | Should the Wirth government fall it {is difficult to see how anything bat chaos could result. If he falls it will be because he has lost the support of the common people, but it is not like- Iy that a proletarian would succeed him, for there is not sufficient organi- zation or cohesion among the disaf- fected elements of the people to con- trol the formation of a new ministry. His successor probably would be either a monarchist or an industrialist, both of whom are opposed to the Wirth pro- gram of an honest attempt to abide by the reparations terms of the peace treaty. With tho Poincare ministry in France pledged to strictest enforce- ment of the treaty, a government at Berlin of increased obstructiveness would surely lead to trouble. The difficulties which beset the paper.” It is well that this matter should be brought to public attention, for it ought to be understood that disabled vet- erans as such are not dependent for care and compensation on the bonus legislation now pending in Congress. They are provided for by laws already on the statute books. It has been as- serted, in fact, by opponents of the bonus in Congress and elsewhere that the disabled men stand to lose by enactment of the bonus, on the ground that money will be paid to able-bodied men which might be used for further assistance to those who are disabled. In appeals for public support for the bonus idea the issue should not be clouded by dragging in the sick and crippled soldiers. The bonus is intend- ed to benefit men who suffered no bodily infirmities as result of their war service, and who cannot claim pecuni- ary assistance urder existing law. } A certair amount of solicitude con- cerning the national debt is always ex- pected. This country at present is con- cerned with the sort of indebtedness that is represented by bills receivable from other nations. ! Uncle Joe Cannon's detision to re- tire Tepresents the first inclination on his part to defy the will of the ma- Jority. i e Occasionally a senator regards the ! reservation to a treaty as something like the postseript which may be the i most important part of the letter. The prejudice against the “made in Germany” mark still lingers, o far as paper currency is concerned. 01d-Time Lawyers. General and particular education of candidates for admission to the law j profession should be higher. Pre-ad- mission training should be longer and examinations for admission to the bar should be stiffer. Secretary Root said these things at the opening of the con- ference of delegates of the American Bar Association and of state bar asso- ciations assembled in Washington. Other speakers have stressed the need | for raising the entrance requirements of the law. It has been eaid that in some btates no law-school education or no law schooling is required, and that ; Kansas and Gov.

One was the “enforced loan" through which it was proposed to raise money for repara- tions, and the other the severity with which the strike of railway workers was suppressed. The first alienated the industrialists and the second in- creased the resentment of the working classes almost to the flaming point. In a dispatch published recently in The Star, Maximilian Harden asserted that the personal extravagance and show of luxurious living by members of the government have contributed largely to the difficulties of Chancellor Wirth, both at home and abroad, and the elevation of Walter Rathenau to be minister of foreign affairs apparent- 1y has been resented by the German people. Wirth has weathered a good many arises since he assumed office, and he may weather the one approaching, but the situation never before has ap- peared so menacing. If he falls, the fat will be in the fire again, and it s any man's guess as to what will hap pen in Europe. —_————————— It may be regarded as fortunate for the world that the United States is in the position of a great creditor nation.

The situation in the Philippines is calmer. There is less criticism of Gov- ernor General Wood—less talk about the Wood-Cameron report of condi- tions in the archipelago—fewer asser- tions of the charge that Gen. Wood and Forbes Cameron went to the islands with minds already made up against the proposition for an inde- pendent Filipino government. These two men were appointed to office by the President ffom personal knowledge of their capacities and rec- ords. They owed nothing to “pull.” Hence the strength they possess in offic They have the confidence of thewr chief. Independerce for either Porto Rico or the Philippines at this time is an untimely request. Neither the At- lantic nor the Pacific possession is at any disadvantage on account of its American connection. On the con- trary, both are safe and prosperous by reason of it. The present world ferment is but slowly subsiding. Some years may be necessary for complete recovery from an unprecedented upheaval; and not until then, if then, will the American government be likely to consider the proposition to set up two new govern- ments carved from its own territory. l A dirigible is a delicate piece of ma- chinery whose safety seems to be in inverse ratio to its size. i Reports of soviet bankruptey are calculated to set Russia wondering if Lenin is not ome kindrof a Ponzi. i No practical suggestion has yet been offered that will compel the landlord to put new wallpaper in the flat. * It is perhaps superfluods to point out that the Roma was unsafe.

M efficlency becomes an absolute necessity under the naval limitation pact, if the United States is to maintain its place in the so-called 3 ratlo fixed for the United States, Great Britain and Japan, in the order named. Unless the officer and enlisted personnel are kept sufficient in numbers and eflicient in training, there Is the too great possibility thas the effective ratio of this country wil drop below even the “3" assigned to Japan. It hag been proposed in Congrss to reduce the personnel. But right now there are not enough ofticers and men in the United States Navy to fully man the ships provided for in the zo-called Hughes’ plan. To maintain the flects compriging the American Navy in top- notch fighting trim will take even more officers and men than now provided. Battleships at the present time, and for some time in the past, have been opera ing on S0 per cent of their battle com- plements. “To be properly prepared for battle and up to the point of efMdency of the other navies, that of the United States should have full complements on every ship. | * ok ok ok To man all of the ships in the Navy would take In the neighborhood of 15 000 men. At the present the Navy con- sists of 99,000 men-of-warsmen and 6,000 apprentices—the latter recruits in train- ing “stations preparing to take th places aboard the battle fleets. One proposal advanced is to cut ™his to 90,000 men and 6,000 apprentices—that 1s, for enlisted personnel alone. As for the officer personnel, under the Hughes plan it will take 6,240 officers to man the ships, on the basis of 4 per cent officers. But this num- ber should be increased if all of the destroyers allowed are to be manned. At the present there are in the Na only 4,100 officers, of whom 1,100 have just been commissioned in the perma- nent establishment from the reserves and temporary regulars who came in during the war. While the naval of- ficials assert that they are glad to get these men, they point out that the majority of them can only be used for’ certain specific purposes.

A quarrel which the Albany Times- Union says “began about three hun- dred and fitty years ago and has been gding on with more or less vehe- mence ever since” broke out in acute form in New York city the other day when a prominent minister and a prominent theatrical producer tempted to debate the premise that “present conditions and tendencies on the American stage are a menace to a sound public and private morality.” As the press“surveys the wreckage left on the battiefield, that the net result is much heat and no light.

There are destroyers now tied up at buoys in the rivers and harbors with only 50 per cent of their eflicient fighting complements aboard.

Chile, if it wighed, could back its bills with nitrate and be soundly financed. Other govern- ments, however, think they are safe if | they have enough bars of gold in their vaults to make people coniident that their paper money is good. But the Chinese are fully as wise as any other people. They know the great value of salt and they give it place -above money. Within the last {few montbs the Peking govarnment ihas borrowed more than $10,000,000 ! with its salt surplus as security. Salt is good security because human be- [ings will alw want salt.

Govern- | ments that wanted to touch the free-{ dom of the people touched their salt At least seven centuries ago in France this common salt was made a govern- ment monopoly, and every family in the kingdom was compelled to buy a certain amount weekly.
