Er———— e— MEN WANTED The people, & majority of the peo- ple, are not against cuts In the salaries of the city officlals and employes. Most of the people want cuts, But the people want men, real men, in positions of authority in the city government, People who think want such men more than they want cuts in salaries. The people want,committees which will act upon matters coming Wwithin thelr jurisdiction as though the word of the committee was the final word. They do not want committees which will “pass the buck” to the common council, compelling it to do the un- popular thing which the committee was unwilling to do. They do not want committees which will contain mem- bers who vote for a popular thing solely to please their constituents and against their own better judgment; they do not want committees contain- ing members afraid to vote against a popular plan because-such members do not like the idea of listening to the complaints of their constituents thet they opposed something they, thelr conatituents, desired. The commbdr toundil committee on salaries will recommend to the com- mon council tonlght what will amount to a general, €ubstantial cut in the salaries of the city officlals and em- ployes. The salary committee has heard the testimony of the different departments that salary cuts ‘are in- advisable and, in most cases, unjusti- fiable. The people have not had the advantage 'of learning the facts in < each case, The salary committee is in a better position to judge what would be wise than are the people who are " fanorant of the amounts of the salar- its and how well déserved they are. If the salary committee, in good fatth, in view of the evidence pre- sented, has reached a decision to rec- ommend cuts, expecting that the com- mon council will approve, and if the committee has acted thus for no other reason, there may be no complaint. The members may feel’ satisfaction that their decision, strangely enough, happened to be the decision that will bring them the most popularity. On the other hand if those mem- bers of the salary committee who do not believe this is a time for cuts were forced to compromise with those who favored more drastic cuts in order that those greater cuts would not be recommended; if the members of the salary committee, or any of them, vot- ed to recommend cuts in order to gain favor with the voters, feeling | ehat they did not care to take the eMdloquy attendant upon opposing the general feeling; if they felt that it would be all right anyway as the council would not recommend the cuts—if they did these things, and if it 18 known that they did these things with this ulterfor motive, then the sign should be hung up, when committees are to be appointed: “Men wanted.” If the salary committee knows more about proper salaries than the peo- ple know, certainly the department heads know more than the salary committees. If the argument Is raised that such department heads are prej- udiced in favor of their workers, then | the reply may be made that the mem- bers of the salary committee are just as apt to the prejudiced by their desire to please the people who, it has been admitted in open committee meetings, | have been clamoring for such salary cuts. It is good to please the people when it may be done with justice to all. It is bad beyond words to please | the people at the expense of a few, where the “pleasing’ is attended by injustice to that few. Many public men take the “popular” of the merits of a case. Many new papers are so tempted. It is and expected that the commoen coun- cil will act upon the tlons of the salary committee moved only by the merits of the matter. i are tempted to | stand, regardless hoped recommenda- It may be trite to remark that wa- ter is more important today than ever before in the history of this city, but drinking water fs that is needed.

K WOMEN AND ROOS From Springfield, 1llinois, the news that women have Instigated the incorporation of a new political party to be called the “Roosevelt Pro- gressive Party." Immediately the question comes why should womep name a political party which they expect to run, after Theodore Roosevelt, great as he was? The incorporation certificate declares that the new party will nominate or support candidates who are not subject to domination by *“invisible govern- ments” or to the control, dictation or domination of “political bosses.” Such | declaration, however, is not sufficient to explain the adoption of the late former Presldent’s name by the wom- en. Independence of political bosses and of “invisible governments” might be characteristic of many men, and yet their names would be selected by women as ones to be thus honored. On the other hand certainly women do not honor Roosevelt as an ardent prohibitionist; he was not that. They do not place him on a pedestal be- cause he “kept us out of war” nor would be inclined to do so; he was not a pacifist. Admiration for him was not Inspired in womén because he was noted for his courtesy to them; it is said that when he was President it was his habit, to expect women to rise when he came into the room. Cer- tainly there were many phases of the Roosevelt character which did not ap- peal to women. It may be said that it is in spite of such things, rather than because of them, he is so generally admired by women. All of which leads to the inevitable conclusion that the women who named a new political party after Theodore Roosevelt, though possibly deeming his name the appropriate one for a “‘progressive” party, were impelled to use his name, as other women would honor it, because they and all women admire more than anything else and in spite of everything else, @ man who is a man, strong, determined. comes CONSIDERING CHI) The proposal of Secretary of State Hughes to establish an International Board of Reference in China to con- sider past and future concessi there and their propriety, is so sin. and wise, if China's interests arc fact to be protected, that a fight may be expected before it will be adopted. If half the injustice has been done to that country which has been in- timated, and if half the plans for the future are being made seeking to ex- ploit her that have been suggested, nations, especially Japan, will present bitter opposition to the ar- rangement. Yet, the nations will have representation on the board and, if all pacts of the past or those planned for the future are fair, there would seem to be no reasonable ob- jection to the adoption the rangement for such hoard of refer- The presence of such a board great the of ar- ence. in China, and the intimate examina- tion of all the facts heretofore shroud- ed if not in mystery at least in mis- would light into that country which could not but be beneficial to it and through it to throw a the world.

Sentimentally, the idea of the res- toration of Palestine as a home of the Hebrew race possesses an aspect which Practically, even men of wide general knowledge are too ignorant of the progress being made in the development of the conception, unless for some reason it has come to their particular notice satisfy themselves and thefr interest in the great undertaking. They would know more of it, as they would know more of every great movement. The fact that the plan is opposed by many of the Jewish race and ardently advocat- ed by others does not detract from but rather adds to its dmportance. Addéd interest in the two men who will speak here if plans of the local Zionist community are carried out, comes from the fact that they are both world war veterans, having been of material assistance to General Al- lenby in the Palestine campaign. It is hoped that the men will be heard in the auditorlum of the Central Junior High school, or other suitable place where all who are interested may have the opportunity to learn more of the movement as it is of present and his- torical value and of romance. Keren appeals to all. to COINCIDENCE OR PLAN? It may be a coincldence that it was planned yesterday to have a bill pre- sented in the German Reichstag today providing for the destruction of fortresses in accordance with the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, such fortresses to include those at Wesel, Cologne, Coblenz and other Upper Rhenish and right bank of the Rhine fortifications, and at I‘riedrichsort, Kiel and Heligoland, just at the time when I'rance and England are on the verge of deciding what agreement, if any, shall be made be- tween those two nations as to possible ittack from Germany. The presentation of such a bill at this time may be a coincidence, but in the fact may be seen a clever and wise move on the part of Germany to remind, gently and apparently casual- ly, both France England that termany is going doing the things the treaty provides should be done. Germany is quite anxious about Premier Poincare and would like to see him more acquiescent in the sug- gestions of England, if there is to be any agreement between England and France at all. When it comes to her own welfare Germany would much prefer to have England have her way | than that France's policies, especially prevail. sort of an and ahead under Poincare, should The bill has not passed at this writ- ing. Probably Germany believes that its presentation might be another straw tending to make France just a bit less fearful of her and less doubt- ful of her good intentions. 1 S AND MORE To read that the Japanese War office plans reduction of the Mikado's land force by 50,000 men within five vides that the powers other than China represented at the conference |’ agree, to the end that there may be | equal opportunity in China for all tions seek in trade and industry, not to| rights for their | interests in any region of China or not superiority of to engage with China for any monop- | oly or preference to the detriment of other natlonals. !
