Associated xelusively entitied %o the uie or ation of Il Bews ciae ited ‘otherwise cred- e The Vote on Lumber. ‘The tariff bill, in its final legislative throes in the Senate, is giving the “coalition” unexpected trouble. The peril which leaders of the coalition have feared ever since the consideration of rates began in the Senate has raised its head. They feared that local and sectional interest would combine to stand for- rates of duty which the dyed-in-the-wool coalitionist would op- pose. Yesterday it appeared that this was about to happen. Proponents of a duty on lumber, now on the free list, came forward with a proposal to provide a tariff of $3 a thousand feet on im- | ported lumber, and this was eventually reduced to $2. The coalitionists were able to defeat the amendment by 8 scant five votes. Opponents of the duty on lumber in the coslition raised the cry in the Senate that “logrolling” was under way. They charged that supporters of in- creased duties on sugar, duties on hides, of the order to bring about duties on all of these articles. Despite this cry, the coalition would have lost its fight E g 1t i i ! gl gaf¥ g8 i 3 i E Hil | i § | £ i Ei E i ! § ; 8 8 § £ pege ] E8s ] H g 14 o3 £i 3 RE | JHe g3t ! ¥ E [ in | Rudy by the neck, and following that ¥ at Moscow, are carried into 1 é H i g f H of unusial unemployment is the halcyon time for the Communist agitator. It may be that the renewed activity of Communist propagandists working upon the school children in the larger cities—Washington has lately been ex- periencing such a pestilential enterprise —is attributable to the same source of inspiration, the million and a quarter fund from the Third Internationale at Moscow, the Foster fund it may be called. For all their professions of dis- Tegard for property and “capital,” the Communist agitators have a high re- spect for income, That these proselyters of youth are under pay, and probably fairly good pay at that, is not to be doubted. There may be a few zealots who give themselves freely to the “cause.” But it is to be noted that most of the professional Communists, leaders, | agitators and demonstrators are well kept persons, not in the least horrid examples of suffering and privation, vic- tims of the cruel tyrant “capitalism.” If this demonstration occurs it must be met vigorously. Those who break the laws and municipal ordinances by holding meetings or conducting proces- sions without permit, by engaging in riotous conduct and ineciting disorder must be punished. While there are times when it is well to ignore the trivial, juvenile activities of mani- festors, attacks upon the public peace must be met with a stern hand. Remove Those Pillars! The District appropriation bill will probably contain -n item for repaving West Executive avenue, a short stretch of street that has become holy— physically, not spiritually—from the footsteps and -the automobile tires of the mighty. If, in connection with the item for repaving, the Houses of Con- gress could insert language permitting the tearing down of the stone pillars that once supported the iron gates at the juncture of this street with Penn- sylvania avenue, these Houses of Con- gress will go down in history as benefactors of mankind. ‘When the iron gates were removed and sent to Ohio to adorn a memorial ' there, hope was expressed that at last a menace to pedestrians and a blockade to automobile traffic had been disposed of. But those in charge of taking down the gates did not construe the act of Congress authorizing that step as in- ‘cluding the removal of the stone pillars supporting the gates. The gates were removed, but the pillars were left, and motorists and pedestrians . In addition to dividing north and south bound traffic into three lanes at an intersection, the pedestrians and the The pillars are no longer of any use. ‘They certainly add nothing, tecturally, either to the White House or the State, War and Navy Building. ‘Without their massive iron gates, they stand alone and forlorn, relics of an idea that long since has passed into the limbo of other times. They should be taken down. ——— ot e The Case of Rudy Vallee. Astute persons whose business it has been to place beforé the shining eyes of youth certain guideposts to con- duct, existing in such adages as “The early bird catches the worm,” “A Toll- ing stone gathers no moss,” “Early to bed, etc.,” and “There's always room at the top,” immediately should take pencil in hand and get busy over the case of Rudy Vallee, who recently honored Washington with his presence. ‘There ought to be material there for another proverb. This young man at the age of twenty- three is probably Yale’s best known alumnus. His salary of $6,000 a week is more than four times as great as the salary of the President of the United States. His autoblography—written, he swears, by himself—is about to appear on the bookstands. Wherever he goes he is followed by a large crowd of ogle- eyed females. Occasionally one of them seiges Time by the forelock and impulse implants upon his manly cheek & loud, resounding kiss. When he leads his orchestra a good proportion of the dancers stop dancing and gaze in rapt admiration, thunderstruck and palpl- tating. There are plenty of orchestras, lots of music, but only one Rudy. He has sttained to that pinnacle of fame when it is meet and proper that he give interviews to the press on the pronunciation of his name, recol- lections of his boyhood, and to solil- oquize in a detached and impersonal sort of way upon his physiognomy and the hirsute adornment of his cranium. He wonders what makes them wild about him. Already he knows what it is to be a national hero, and sobs in sympathy for Lindy. ‘What does he do?

Defeat of the Tardieu ministry, which occurred shortly after the conference met, did not pregipitate its dissolution for the reason that France s & dele- gate member of the conference and not the host. The conference is the in- ception and inspiration of Prime Min- ister Macdonald. His defeat, even on a question entirely separate from naval limitation or security guarantee or re- nunciation of war, would necessitate at least the suspension of the con- ference if not its abandonment. Things have not goene particularly well at London. in the course of the conference, There have been difficul- ties in preliminary discussions, dif- ferences between the Mediterranean powers, the injection of the question of a security pact, the French ministerial crisis, which, together with Andre Tar- dieu’s illness, checked the program. But there is still high hope of success. All of the five governments represented are sincerely desirous of finding a means for lightening the burden of naval armaments and lessening the chances of war. A will to win is mani- fest. The domestic politics of France and of England should not negative this endeavor. ——— A Senator refers with indignation to grasping politicians who are seeking to take the position of a Maryland post- | Poet of mistress away from her. for place should not become so keen as to create fear that eventually there will be no chivalry among politicians. ——.— Chicago racketeers who try to black- mail theater stars demand payment of sums which imply an implicit belief in the press- agent stories about large sal- aries.

The “Publisher's note on the text,” supplied on a separate sheet with the volume (which, by the way, in the or- dinary edition is a_beautiful example of the printer's and binder's art), says with resignation: ““The slight aj ach to a simplified spelling in this k is copled from the author’s MS., which the printer was instructed to follow.” Not_only printers have a hard time with it; the average poetry lover, too, mmu will wish that the poet laureate not been quite so young, up-and- coming in his spelling, phraseology, ete.

Now, if the youth of this glo- rious country are “going to hell” as Bishop Freeman says, and he ought to know, then we have no one to blame but ourselves, and not youth.
