There is little encouragement to be- Heve today that there will be any generally successful response to Presi- dent Harding's proposal that opera- tions at the coal mines shall be re- sumed, with assurances of full pro- tection to all men who are willing to indi- Nork, Conmtaly (her ek in the |lcaders urging the British labor party e T s to ne un. | Marshal Wilson's assassins. The let- ter, which comes from Radek and aken, as indicated by the Towa mass meeting which sent assurances to President Lewis that the miners of that state would remain idie until a settiement had been effected. Likewise in road shopmen, the beginning of an- other week brings no signs of im- provement. Returning to Chicago from his conference with President Harding, Chairman Hooper announces sh: that “no further action by the Rail- road Labor Board is contemplated at this time.” So it is a case now of awaiting the President Harding and next move b those of hi: the heavy burden of a situation fraught with the possibilities of dis-| astrous consequenc That they are not vet ready to acknowledge that the situation is hopeless is manifested by their activities, and there are many resources of power, explored and un- explored, still open to them. It is intimated by congressional leaders that if the President finds he has need of more power than is now given him by the statutes Congress will be neither slow nor reluctant to act. It is an encouraging and a gratifying fact that no disposition has been ex- hibited, either in or out of Congress, to make political capital out of the national distress. There is wisdom as well as patriotism in this, for the people are in a mood to make short shrift of any politician who attempted | to capitalize so’ critical a situation as is constituted by the rail and mine strikes. There is not in evidence throughout the country any serious impatience because the government is moving with calm deliberation. It is realized that this is a case where it is best " t» make haste slowly, where an error might do incalculable harm, and that nothing should be attempted that can- not be carried through. And there is the further advantage that every day the crisis can be postponed solidifies the sentiment of the people and their determination to uphold the hands o!l the government. The House Adjournment. ‘Will the House reassemble with a elearer view than when it adjourned of what the people desire at this time in the way of legislation? One of the reasons given for ad- Jjournment was of this character—that as nearly two years had elapsed since the election of the present Congress @ change in public sentiment as to measures might have taken place, and representatives, by going home and mingling with their copstituents for six weeks, would be able to get a line on the latest opinion. Tt is doubted now if this hope has been realized—if the representatives have profited as intended and desired by the confabulations with the home folks on the subject of the state of the Union. The reason given is that the home folks are in as inquiring a state of mind as their representatives; that the fog envelops all, and is thick everywhere; that what should be dene “is a question present wherever one turns, and that the members of the! House once more in their seats on Capitol Hill will be but little wiser than when they left them and went in search of instruction. This much wiser, however, they will be: that they will appreciate more fully and forcibly than before that matters are now definitely up to them and that in whatever they do they must act promptly. Election day ap- proaches and on that day the recard of Congress, for bettér or for worge, will be passed upon. ———— William Allen White gs an indus- trious writer will no doubt regard his arrest by the Governor of Kansas as more or less valuable publicity. A parley is sometimes considered a success if it does not develop any new points of difference. The Klan in Politics. Final returns of the Texas primaries will have interest for those who are watching the efforts of the Ku Klux Kmn to exercise political influence in that state and elsewhere. .Some of the candidates for nomination for gov- ernor and for senator are avowedly favorahle to and favored by the klan. Others are as definitely opposed to the kian and, consequently, are opposed by that organization. At present it is impossible to see just how far the klan issue has prevailed. Second pri- \Snaries will be necessary in the case of the genatorship and some other of- ficers. In the genatorial fight at present the leader favored by the klan polled & lighter vate than the combined votes 'of enti-klan candl- dates. The kian issue, however, is n tinctly defined in the Texas figh! dis- for the strike of the rail-| advisers who are carryving renomination on the score of his rec- jord, and he doubtless received in the iprimaries the votes of many whose 4 {approval of him on general principles outwelghed their opposition to the kian factor in politics. In this connection may be considered the present move to unmask klansmen on their public appearances. In one of the southern states a pledge has been given to this effect, with the zation may be affected seriously. Radicalism, Labor and Justice. Thitd Internationale propag.nda is unceasing and persistent. Whatever betides the soviet government, how- ever Its communistic program may deteriorate inta a closer approach to normal administration, the radicals of Russia lose no opportunity to press their plan for ‘“one big political junion.” Their latest move is to ad- dress an open letter to British labor Bucharin, is worth quoting: We expect to receive in a short time fzom you a telegram calming our alarm by stating that vou have called English workers to a general strike in order not to allow the hangmen of British im- perialism to murder those who strove for freedom for the Irish people. You address to us a request that we have mercy on the terrorists and social revo- lutionaries; we are now addressing an appeal to all parties of the Second In- ternationale demanding maximum pr sure on the English government to ob tein a just trial. and you must obtain the right for the Third Internationale to | be present. Doubtless this demand was written with no expectation that the British labor leaders would call a strike and make the demand in the pame of the | Third Internaticnale for a retrial of | the Wilson assessins, with the Mos- cow radicals present. This must be rated as a gesture only, and yet be- thind it lies a menace. It is known that there is a dangerous infusion of | bolshevism in British labor ranks. Di- rect agents of the Moscow organiza- tion have been working for many months in England,and this letter is| { probably addressed to their converts rather than to the leaders, in the hope, perhaps, ofgstarting a revolt against the present labor organiza- tion. British labor has been only mildly interested in the Irish question. As in this country. organized labor there has taken no decided fixed stand on | political matters. An appeal to the labor of England, therefore, to align itself in behalf of “Irish freedom,” particularly at this juncture of the Irish case, when the only fighting in progress in Ireland is between Irish factions, is certain to be futile. Perhaps the most significant phrase in the open letter of the Mescow reds is that which demands the right to be present at the trial of Gen. Wil-; son's assassins. This is tantamount to a claim to a universal privilege of presence at the trial of every person involved in what may be regarded as a political crime in every country. ‘Will the same demand be made in the case of the French anarchist who jrecently made an attempt to kill Pre- mier Poincare? Memory of the Sacco-Vanzetti case is immediately revived. These two men were convicted in Massachusetts of murder. The crime was in no sense political, but the radicals made the | case political by contending that the accused men were railroaded to prison on the way to the scaffold because jthey were radicals and that evidence | was framed against them to insure a conviction. An organized protest de- veloped. From communist and an- archist centers throughout the world came not merely petitions and pleas but demands for the release of Sacco and Vanzetti. The case Is pending vet on appeal, and doubtless if the appeal is denied and the men are again sentenced to death the furore will start anew. It may be definitely attributed, in the light of this latest demand on British labor, to the in- fluence of the Third Internationale at Moscow, the world center of anarchism. i | f Lenin's health became ~precarious {just at a time when an attempt to solve official and financial difficulties {would have been most threatening to his prestige. 4 Iowa farmers are digging their own coal in hope of averting the necessity of burping corn which ought to be eaten. i Occasionally & cabinet official finds an assistant secretary whom he does not regard as of any assistance whaj- ever. Germany has succeeded in getting the nations of the world to act as a financial advisory committee. A Disrespeqtful Protest. The resident Philippine commis- sloners are adviged by cable ‘from Manila as follaws: A pyblic demonstration to voice protest and dissatisfaction of the Filipino people at the way President Harding evaded issue in reply to the memorial of the second Philippine mission will pe held in Manila on arrival of the misgion, August 16. This,is {il-advised, not to say disre- spectful. The President ‘“evaded” nothing, but in pleasant and polite terms gave his anpwar to the petition of the visitors. They are returning home with a clear understanding of his attitude toward Philippine inde- pendencs At present he dogs not favor it, and there are no reasons to expect & change of policy on hig part in the near future, if at all during his stay in the White House. The. question is on the knees of the gods. In other words, Philippine in- dependence depends on developments in the archipelage and elsewhere in the orient, Assuredly, American con- trol of so importynt a part of the THE EVENING awn Interesta and obligations will'best be promoted by such a course. To put the matter mildly. the mis- sion was a mistake. To make sure of his ground, the President, upon taking office, had sent representatives—two distinguished and qualified men—to the Philippines to investigate and re- port on conditions there, and ‘had re- ceived and accepted their report ad- vising ageinst immediate Independ- ence, when the mission appeared in ‘Washington asking him to repudiate his representatives and adopt its views. Some audacity! The Wets and the Saloon. . A dispatch from Seagirt, N. J., s3ys: Sale of beer aml ;).ht wines by w wines sold {n groceries, he would go far toward reducing ot government taxes. Grocery stores are places where women go, or send their children, growing girls and boys, for supplies for the family table. They are re- spectable places, and do not encour- age, or even tolerate, loungers. But if their stock is enlarged to include beer and light wines how long will it be before such places are trans- formed into lounging places and made attractive for those who patronized the saloons when the latter existed in the wide-open wet days? And, so transformed, how safe and attractive will such places be for those who now patronize them and for whose custom play is made? ‘The saloon has no outspoken cham- pions. It made such a name for itself in the time it flourished even many ar- dent anti-prohibitionists express them- selves as opposed to its return. But an important dry contention is that the veturn of beer and light wines will in- evitably mean the return of the saloon, with a good deal, if not all, of the demoralization it once stood for. And once the saloon begins business again, John Barleycorn will make his way through its hospitable and capacious doors. ————————— Prohibition for Germany! A prohibition movement in Ger- many! It seems a most unlikely enterprise. Yet strange things are happening in the world today and a dry Germany would not be the strangest. A committee has been formed “for the introduction of pro- hibition in Germany,” headed by Dr.{ Stecker, former minister of education for Hesse. It comprises, according to the dispatch from Darmstadt, nu- merous academic, political and labor leaders and professional men and women from all sections of Germany. For the present the purpose is to con- duct an educational campaign to en- lighten the people on the nature of | the Volstead act, the American en-|{ forcement law, and urging the adop- | tion of a similar Jaw in Germany. In order to sound out public sentiment i+ will conduct straw votes in all parts of the country. Probably its pre- moters have no thought of an imme- diate success. They want to find.out first if there is any pronounced senti- ment for prchibition. It is not to be assymed that because Germany has always been a heavy consumer of beer the prohibition proposal will be over- whelmed. The war has caused more independent thinking to be done in Germany, perhaps, than in any of the other countries involved in the great conflict. Certainly there is nothing in the result of the war to justify the old practices and habits. l The G. O. P. has always been sus- picious of kid glove politicians. The tariff experts are now turning their attention to eotton glove statesman- ship. f New York democrats are less inter- ested in the question of who is gov- ernor than that of who is boss. l Like musicians, tennis players some- times allow temperament to run away with technique. i Dispute as to daylight-saving has dwindled to the proportions of a minor difference of opinion.

The lady accosted would open her purse and give the young Napoleon of finance a token or some silver change.

EDITORIAL DIGEST Jeers of a Year Ago Now Turned to Cheers. “The whole world,” announces the Providence Tribune, ‘“respects and loves the ‘comeback’ stunt.” And because of that fact the American press hails the victory of Suzanne Lenglen over Molla Bjurstedt Mal- lory for the woman's tennis chamr plonship of the world, even though, as the Syracuse Herald says, “Amer- ica does not like to be beaten.” Much was said last year about “temperament” and “yellow streaks” when the French champion defaulted to the American at the Forest Hills meet because of illness—an illness aggravated, many felt, by the ap- arent hopelessness of winning. Now hat it is unanimously conceded that at the Wimbledon match Mile. Leng- len proved hersgelf' without doubt the better tennis player of the two, the question arises in many American minds as to whether the tag of poor sportsmanship belonged more prop- erly to the French girl or to those who doubted her. Moreover, Mrs. Mallory has complicated that gues- tion & bit by a “post-mortem” com- plaint, which, in the view of Amer- jcan writers, falls far short of the attitude which sportsmanship de- mands of a good loser. “It is now obvio to the Wheel- ing Intelligencer “that the French- woman was never overrated 8% a is player and that she really was o et physical - condition when beaten by Mrs. Mallor: Certainly she has shown herself “to be good sport enough to meet this antagonist again,” the Manchester Union re- marks, “and a player good enough to beat her.” Accordingly, the Pitts- burgh Sun finds ‘“the presumption strong that Mlle.
