The Jackson day dinner of the dem- berats has shown that there is a well gefined division of opinion - on the Ruestion of the treaty, that the un- ylelding attitude o(.the president is ot supported by party leaders, that early ratification is desired and that sentiment is apparently as strong for its ratification wilh resefvations if i cannot be accomplished otherwise. President Wiison aceording to hi message stamds right where he has been standing. The refusal to ratify the treaty as it came from France and the desire of meny democratic sena- tors to emmpremise have had 1o effect| and in spite of urging early action he! favors submittins the gquestivi: to the people which would fhéan a delay of) over a year afd then even the demo- rats will admit there is no certainty would ratify it. In what Mr.} Hoover has called his president’s crn attitude on the treaty the president bas been giving aid and; fort to the bitter enders; in the g of the submission of the mat-| ter to the people he approves the sug- gestion of Senator Lodze and ke urges #ction that is against the sentimient of many of the democratic senators. m Jennings Bryan has gy e 7 lost influende in demo- is indieated by tho re- n h: receiveé He ig directly ed to the president’s suggestion. points out that the desire for rat- ation without reservation ‘“has beeit ed and fave the situa- that the party, 2o before the people on suc’ ean an issuc and that it should joift in an Jonest effost to end war forever at the ear! meent.

If there is a clash between Secre- tary Glass of the treasury department snq Herbert Hoover regarding the efedits that ought 16 be given to Bu- rope in order to meet the needs that| #xist there it wii probably be brought Tout in the hearing before the hous w and means commitjee which nvestigating the recommendations of | the secretary, favorable to giving fi- pancial ald, That of course is the thing te do. It shot'd be known before action is! aken whether thére is actual need of this country agvancing money when- ever called for and whatever the mmount. When humanity is dying from starvation er disease there éan be little hesitation. FHelp at such a timé is worth mére (han twice as much later on but it canhot fail to be recogmizel *hat when calied udon to Fhell ofit money for Burope we ought to know pretty rear what we are do- ing and that it is reallv needed. Mr. Hoover has looked pretty well| Mto eonditions as they exist in Bu- ropean countries. He has unqtestion- ably sized %p the situation during hi stay abroad so that no wild asser- tions shoulq come frem him for the! parpose of placng obstacles in the| path of rcedad help. It can hardly be believeq that he wouvid make the statement he has, even as a stepping| stone to p ieal preferment which some claim to see in his latest utter- ance, vmless he was sincere in that belief. But whatever the facts in the case wre they shounld he established. The ralling before the house commities of Becretary Glass and Mr. Hoover, amotg othérs who can shed light up- on the' situation. ought to straighten out any tancle that exists. Tn view of what he has said Mr. Hoover is prob- kbly feady to back up his statements. He believes in a certain amount of help for certaln sections of Europe but He aleo Believes that FEurope should get busy on its own problems. i END OF STEEL STRIKE. Whether or not any influenée was brought to bear upon it by the recent smnouncement to the effeet that the radical influences were at work in this country to get eontrol of labor organ- frations and that they played their part in staglpg the steél and coal stiikes with the idea of having a gen- ‘etal strike declared throughout the country, the steel strike has been called off. Although it has long since proved a faflure, and was so admitted weeks ago by Lcadér Fitzpatrick who attfib. uted its lces to the army, the action taken at this #ime must come as a surprise to mafy in view of the re- cént_declaration of W.

From time to time Diréctér Géneral Hines of the railroad administration has had not a little to say regardin owneérs, He is an old railroad man roadls for the government and it is natural that he should be in a posi- tion to present cne side of the case 1egarding the railroads in an. intel- ligent and comprehensive manner. Mr. Gealing with the rodds in an honest and satisfactory manner, he doesn’t phold any particulaf plan but he has deag whizh endorse some of the fea- contrary thereto. , He believes that the roaGs should be returhed in such conditién that the swituation which will follow the return to the owners will be unjust to all, a condition that night fesult in a gréater demand. than has beén made for government opera- tion, in spite of . all the opposition thereto. In Mr. Hines' opinion théfe should be féwer systeins made possible by consolidation, that the rate provisions should insure & fair return en capital evetywhers, that earriings in excess of fsir returns should be held agaifst bad years and that the owners, the pubiit and labor should be represent- lea on the board in control of the sys- tems. He thus puts forth the idea that the policy of big businéss is one that should be avplied te the railroads, and he also clearly set forthr in his state- ment that increases in freight and passenger rates must follow the re- turn to the owners, Having been through the mill he understands. the difficulties under which he has worked and yet looks upon the course followed under con- ditions gs they existed as justified. His ideas will receive favor or not ac- cording to where they lénd. A MOVE AGAINST DRYS. Evidence that the governor of New York is playing politics for the puf- pose of getting on the right side of the wet vbte is fufnished in his mes- sage to the legislatufe of that state in asking that the vote on the prohibi- tion amendment be rescinded. How- ever much it may have surpfrised New York and the country when the Empire state ratifieq the amendment it could have been no greater than that displayed over this thirteenth hour attempt to knock it out. The governor urges - that the should be submitted t6 the "peeple rather than the legislature. On this there are a great miany péople who w2l agree with hima but it is a fact nevertheless that it is provided in the Censtitution that it shall beé ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of tiie states witho@it anv reference-to a referendum. The New Yerk state leg- islature has acted in accord with the requirements. It has ratified the amendment which will become effec- tive next Friddy and it has not a chance 16 act upon the nullification of the amendment. The governor says that he cannmot {understand why the people should not have a chance to vote on questions in- terfering with their personal liberty and many will agree with him_ on that but such a question should go to all the states in the same way. All states should ratify by legislatures or by referendum, not paft one way and part the other and until the law is “hanged it is action by legislatures that is called for. Governor Smith has seen a chafcs| to make an appeal and embarrass those opposing but theré is réasén to doubt if his proposition will make any beadway. EDITORIAL NOTES.

"It is strange what we believe and what we reject. The doubt and dis- trust which marks man in all the ages is the remains of his primitive no- madic and barbarous life. We read- ily recall that the Saviour sorrowed because of the unbelief of the people; and The Preacher centuries before him declared “the Lord is grieved be- cause His people die for lack of knowledge.” _ Ignorance has always killed more people than disease, for lack of knowledge is the sourcé of disease and epidemics.

T'wo hundred billion dollars, five million lives and a disrupted world, A great many men of the present time can remember when good-will was recognized as an asset, and had a value in dollars and cents put upon it, and it was paid for. Days of keener business and sharper competiion have briished good-will aside —as #6f no money Value, and it is today seldom considered as béing worth a “surhar- que” on ’change; but good-will as an asset in the affairs of the wofld cah- not _be -brushed aside, or even under- estimatéd, without creating conditions which are menacing and perilous. Good-will is substantial beeause it it the foundation for good law and goed orier and g00d resulls. It worth can- not be ignored.

In uhity of action there is always force. but the force of good intent does not always. produce good results. It is really an assét in life to realize the value of self-restraint both in ex- pression and aetion, This we KHow as discretion, the salt, as kindly service is the sweetnesa of life.

Your face and mine is like the index of a hook which reveals part 6f the contents, says the science of physiognomy; and Addison wrote in the 17th century: “When I sec a man with a sour-shrivelled fage I cannot forbear pitying his wife; and when T meet with an open, ingenuous countenanece, 1 think on the happi- ness of his friends, his family, and his relations.” But man has yet never invented a perféct Science: and it has never heen forgotten that Lavater, the father of this science. read the face of a philosopher and found he was a highwayman; but the teil-tale face remains a fact, just the same.

In an analysis of Bifle i nant e League ohs mega- zine forJune 1919, I pointea eut that the development of certain backward nations under Art. XXII of the re- vised covenant formeq “a sdered trust of civilization,” and that peobles not T moiied B, lnjbits 15 iiaraas contempla n ini - tional law, fér whom ge League of Nationd might appoint guardidns, who would be subject to all the duties and obligations 6f such an officer, but with the same differefice in the relationship of tutelagé as obtains in our muni- éipal law where a guardian acts for an infant under fourteen and for ome over fourteen. ~And taking the ex- ambple of Arfhenia, I quoted the fourth parapraph of Article XXII: “Certain comimuhities, formerly belonging to of’ the mandate, but in regacd to the stage 8f development where their ex- istence as independent nations cah be provisionally recognized, - subject to the fendering of adfinistrative ad- vice and assistanee by a mandatary until sueh a time as they are able to stand alon&.” This differentiates such a people asethe Armenians from the peoples of Central Africa, for exam- ple. As to such latter wards of riv- ilizatiofi nothing is said as to con- sulting their wishés in the selection of the mandate, but n regard to the .illustration of Armenia, if is obvious that is wishes “must be a. principal consideration in the selection of the mandatiry,” and in respect to the lat- ter, Par. II of Art, XXII applies, with its phrase as to entrusting tutélage of this ward to such “advanced nation 4 Avilling to accept.” 5 During the past few years nearly every household in the United States has had sympathies and intergst ar- oused to the extent of contributing to tortured, slaughtered and ‘deported by the savage Turks and Kurds. ‘But the idea "of “our government accepting a mandate and becoming accountable to some super-govérnment has ‘et with much antagonism, and at the same time the new republic of Ar- menia has itself considered whether, if it be recognized as a sovereign na- tion by the great powers, it will not itself dminish its sovereignty and re- pair ts dignity by accepting the posi- tion of the ward of a’ mandatry. The question thus émerges whether the result which the majority of the Am- erican publi¢ Wishes to accomplish cannet be seeured without runhing counter to ether of these prejudces. I believe that this can be accomplished through thé ordinary instrumentali- ties of dielomatic relationship. A. Let the government of the Unit- States recognize the new republic of Armenia as a sovereign nation and appoint a minister as its diplomatic representativé to negotiate a treaty with the néw republic, under which administrative advice and assistance may be afforded with all the advan- tages of none of the disadvantages in- hérent in the scheme of the covenant of the league of nations. The council of the league would welcome thé elim- ination of this problem in the near east from ts own agenda, and the n- fluence of the United States when a ember of the league, Or even sooner, could be exerted in demanding the delimination, under an intefnational boundary commission, of the territor- ial "Doundaries to be grantéd to the new “Fepublic. B. The nature of the administra- tive adivce and assistance and the ex- tent to wheh it shall be given would then repose where it really belongs, angythe governments directly interest- ed ‘would determine whether the treaty should cover merely financial assistance of the appointment of ad- ministrators of the finances of Ar- menia until such time as it should be able to repay any doan which we thight make, or wgether it should ex- tend to the furnishing of munitionsi and Meén to enforce the “no trespass- ing”, signs that would be set up against the Turks and Kurds anll the Tartars and Georgians. But it seems ¢léear that if the moral influence of ight plus right is to be greater now than it was before the great war, the fact that we are the ally of Armenia, or that we afe back of the new gov- eFnment with money, and with men if need be, would be as effective against these savages of the Turkish empiré as the actual sending of troops. C.- Under such a treaty the Ar- menians, with American administra- tive advice, could develop the great agricultural and mineral resources of the nation, and I venture to pre- dict that in ten years the republic could be self-supporting and in twenty years the United States loan would| have been repaid. D. One great fact must be ever kept in mind in viéwing this whole subject, ‘and_that is, that the moment securfity of life and liberty is assured in the provinces of their former dom- icle, the men and the¢ famlies of Ar- menia would repatriate themselves by tens of thousands, for it is only the extremitiés 6f persecution and tor- at ever drove them from their dative land. This solution is censistent with the desires of the recently organized gov- ernment of the Armenian republic, It is eonsistent with thé theery uhder- lying the éovenant of the league of nations, but it is tetally ineensistent with the suggestion, made by appar- afitly well-meahing but singularly ill- advised, self-styleq “friends of Tur- that the United .States should actept a mandate for Armenia and Turkeéy together. Js otr mmemory so short that we ean contemplate mak- ing any covenant of assistance diréct- !y or through the league with the ‘heirs, executors, administrators or assignis of Abdul the Damned? The Turks have no claim en American af- fection or: respect. A mandate for i Turkey and Armenia together would be a travesty on coffifion sense. The peoples are not e jusdem generis. Theif intérésts are mutually hostile. 1 It reminds one of the Ameriean show- mdn ih Viénna béfore the war wha exhibited a “Happy Family” In a cage; consisting of a leopard, a wolf! a hyena and a lamb, and when asked how long tliey had cohabitéd the ‘cage he replied. “T'wo years—but,” he add- ed meditativély,” the lamb hag te be renéwed occasicrially.” The United States wants ne hyéna farms.

Norwich, January 9, 1920 INCOME-TAX FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW “ No. 6. Thé man or Wwoman whose inicome is froin Salary or wages has several things to consider in making out his or her income-tax return. The fall amount received for personal services must bé returned as gross inéome. Direct expehsés Incurred in earning his compensation. however, are allow- able deductions. For example, a trav- eling man selling on commission may deduct his railroaq fare and amounts paid for hire of vehicles in calling o his customers as a “business expense,” but not his hotel beard, which is a personal or living expense. Salaries must be reported as income for the vear in which they are re-| ceived, regardless of when theéy afe earned. Thus, 2 man who i§s paid on the 5th of the month and réceived his salary for the month of December; 1918, on January 5, 1919, will include thé amount in his return for 1919. His salary for December 19819, which is not received until Januaty 5, 1920, neeg not be inhcluded in his 1919 in- come, although it was entirely eathed during that year. Bonusés Must Be Reported. A salary or commission credited to an account and subject to withdrawal must be ineluded as income. Bonuses or any form of profit sharing must be included, since they are additional | compensation for services. A Christ- mas gift,’ or other present from an employer is not taxable. ¢ Compensation for personal services may be paid for partly in cash and partly in board and lodging. In this cvent, a fair valve must be placed up- on the room and meals, and the am- ount reported as incemie by the em- ployee. Salaries of officers and employees of a State, county, or municipal govérn- | ment are exempt from taxation, exemptiont does not extend to Feder- al employees and employees of the government of the District of Colom- bia, Compensation for persénal sérvices paid to direétors and trustees of a corporation or society. which itself is exempt from taxation is taxable in- come to the récipients.
