Further evidence of the' attitude of the European countries relative to the resérvations which have been proposed in this country to the league of nations before the treaty is ratified is furnished by the action of the council of the:league in admit- ting Switzerland to membership therein. witzerland was among the neutral ble for membership and for the part it accepted the provisions of the covendnt. There were instances however where it could not do so. One for instance concerned action on the part of the country whicH could not be taken within the prescribed time because the referendum required of the country on such a matter made it impossible in the limited period to carry it out. Ang again Switzerland was desirous of maintaining her neu- tral attitude in the future just as it bas in the past. It is unwilling to] join with any others against some violater of the covenant. -Having Xept out of the wars of Europe for a long time it has no desire to change its policy and for that reason it has reservations to the famous article , and in this respect its stand is more radical than is proposed by this country. for whi accept any obgilation to preserve the territorial integrity and political in- dependence of other countries this country requires that anything it does in the use of force and economic pressure must be authorized by con.l gress and not by the league. Switzer- land will permit the force of no oth- er country to cross its territory even though directed by the league. Still Switzerland is admitted to the league and without any great strug- gle or long pleading. Having admit-} ted that country under the restric-| tions that it imposes there can be lit- tle question but what the same will be done relative to the United States though it also insists upon reserva- tions in ratifying the treaty. DAYLIGHT SAVING. The time hasn't arrived as yet for putting davlight saving into effect, but it is grgfually approaching. And as time ar'/(ums interest in the se- curing of the - daylight benefits through state or community action is increasing. ‘The fact that the fed- eral law has not been continued has made it necessary to get daylight saving through other chanmels. It is case where a section of the coun-| a group of states or even a sin- state ean by making the neces- changes in clocks get the extral| of daylight. There is of course nothing to bar anyone from getting up an hour earlier without changing the clock, but where ecverything is! governed by’ an accepted arrange- ment there is less imconvenience and sion, Just at the present time many of the people through the middle west In being sounded on their wishes.| that way the sentiment of states| be secured, even as kas been the case through the east where many of the large cities, as well as smaller ones have approved the change, where one railroad has already an- nounced that its schedule will be changed in keeping with the daylight saving plan and where legislatures in several states arc expected to act up- on the question soon. x In this connection it is interesting to note that the chamber of com- merce of Massachusetts has been condueting a referendum on the sub- ject with the result that sentiment is more than five to one in favor of daylight saving in that state. Where! labor was sounded in some of the factories it was found in favor of the change by from two to one up to al-| ost 40 to one, while a former mas- ter of a grange also comes out in support of the idea and backs his stand by 20 years on the farm. What- ever the outcome it is certain that the results of daylight savi made such good impressions widespread sentiment exists ocntinuance. for its ' — OUR DYE INDUSTRY, The finance committee of the sen- ate has reached the conclusion that new legislation is needeq in order to properly protect those who have en- tered thq business of making dye- stuffs and those who may in the fu- ture decide to enter-that. lifle. There is need of course of protecting bothi “the industry and the consumer and such is the intent of the bill. The plan is to do it by establishing an embargo upon the admission of dyes to this country under the control of the tariff commission, whereby this cemruission can, if the situation de- velops and it is deemed advisable, ad- mit dyes that cannot be obtained in this country and are wanted by, a customer, but under an import duty. Leng has it been apparent that if| some such action as that proposed is not taken that German dyemakers will be scoopinz the market by be- ing able to make and deliver the goods here cheaper than the new in- : dustries in this country can preduce the dyes. Having been in the con- trol of Germany once it is time that encouragement should . be given to those who made us independent of | cent fare to get them back. that eountry to keep us so. Ef- forts have been made to handle the obstacles to win favor mittee. Having gone to large expenditure to get dyemaking plants established and having found that they can meet the requirements of the trade in quality as well as quantity the move is being made none too soon to put the industry on a ‘basis of perma- nency by keeping out. the cheaper made . foreign . pr served as a Dpro such goods could not be shipped here during that time. Legislation will be just as effective if the interests of those concerned at home are served. UNSANITARY SCHOOLS. Attention cannot fail to be given to the work that is being undertaken in behalf of better sanitary eondition in the schools throughout the- state by the state health council. are necessary. It is impossible to get along without them but it is quite necessary that it should be seen that they are sanitary and ‘mot, by the conditions which surround them, det- rimental to the health of the pupils atfending. % With due regard for these facts the state board of education has under- taken through the aid of the health department to find out just what the condition is among the schools, what is needed to overcome existing faults and how it should be done. It is a commendable move and from the first report made as the result of a survey in five counties it ig found that 4@ per cent. of the 423 schools visited are in-an unsanitary condition. Just evhat has been the effect of the condition is not indicated in.the news report, but the - shortcomings are apparent from such disclosures as have been made, and it is plain enough just what the attention is that they require. In all cases it is to be presumed that old buildings are involved but the fact that the .schools! are for the most part in the ‘rliral dis- tricts explains to a certain degree what must be some of the prevailing shortcomings. . When it is declared that in most of them they receive no attention other than that given them by the teacher and pupils it is quite evident that there is need for the various districts to give more cen- sideration to the schools. Certainly they should be interested enough in the welfare of the children to see that \they had proper and healthy school rooms without any other steps being mecessary than to call their at- tention to the deficiencies and advis- ing them what should be done. When there is a persistence in maintaining unsanitary schools ‘other steps can and should be taken to bring about the needed improvement. jot. The war 'wall because THOSE GERMAN SHJPS. Just what the solution is geing to! be of the effort to dispose of the Ger- man vessels taken over by this coun- try during the war and which have been in the hands - of the shipping board remains to be determined. Ef- forts to obstruct the plan of the board for disposing of them are com- plicating the situation, but frem what has hitherto been stated in regard to the arrangement for disposing of the vesscls the interests of the country are going to be fully protected and the merchant marine of the country not depieted. It has been a question whether the board should continue ‘to operate the ships<in competition “@ith ihe private capital. A number of the vessels have been used .ior transport service and to return them: to the passenger| carrying business it will be necessary to go to- a large expense refitting them, at a time when the demands| are, for the curtailment of shipbuild- ing activities on the part of the gov- ernment. | Bids for the ships which were not acceptable have previously been sub- mitted, as the result of which it was| disclosed that one company stood ready to'take over the entire fleet. The price, however, was not satisfac- tory and from the expression of the board it is not deemed wise to dis- pose of them all to ane bidder. A big hue and cry is being made over the claim that the ships if seld will § go out of American ownership and | thus be put.bevond our reach in casej thelr use should again bé required for transports, while vessels flying the American flag would be decreased in number when efforts have been made to do just the opposite. Unless something is brought out in the proceedings that bave’ been in- stituted, the board has guarded against these very things, by insist- ing that only Americans can purchase the ships, that they must continue rol fly thes American flag and that they must be subject to use by the gov- ernment should occasion arise. It cannot be Wflieved that the hoard is working against the interests of its country. - EDITORIAL NOTES. If mind could only triumph over prices what a tumbling there would be.

Norie of the ngland ‘senators. would talk for quotation but they made it clear they thoroughly disapproved the step taken by the president and were in the fullest sympathy with Mr. Lans- ing. The democrats looked sober and for the most part declined to make any comment whatever, although a few said openly that “it was a very bmd move"” felt it woud injure the party. The concensus of opinion even among democrats is that the president made a very regretable move in nam- the informal conference of the cabinet as the cause of Mr. Lansing’ x-:;pv;l. and fairly overstepped him s . It will be difficult to explain the ap- parent- discrepancy of statements pre- viously issued by the white house, as tp the president’s being in full touch with pending business and directing the affairs of the nation, when it is now apparent he did not even know | cabinet * officers were meeting each ‘week under the roof of the white house although ch meeting were attended by his, private secretary Mr. Tumulty and no more than one occasion by his physician Dr. Grayson. the illness of the president was even more serious than the most passimistic rumors started, if he were in sueh condition that he could not be infor: ed of that fact, although the confer- ences were held every week for five months or more,” said a New Eng- land senator. There'is no gain say- ing the fact that developments of the past two days has brought about a new distrust as to the exact nervous and physical condition of Mr. Wilson. Not only is the Lansing matter exceeding disquieting to men in- positions of high responsibility but the dread of what may happen next is even more so. The entire cabinet is involved— all took part in the conferences, and now to have the Secretary of State summarialy dismissed for “doing what the entire country would have criti ed him for not doing” as one Senator express it—has stirred up a sentiment here that verges on rebellion. Sena- tor Brandagee in the Senate and Con- gressman Rogers of Massachusetts, in the House, had the. correspondence between the President and Mr. Lans- ing read into the Corgressional record that history might show the full text of the proceedings. Here are several side lights on the situation, as it progressed from: day to- day during the five months the president has heen constantly ‘absent from his executive offices: The vice- president forebore to attend the meet- ings of the Cabinet, in order that they might be entirely informal and in no way taKe on an éxecutive atmosphere. Under the construction it would be the vice-president who would take the reins of government when the presi- dent is unable to do so. Now that the president repudiates the cabinet con- ferences there is a_deep anxiety here lest he also repudiate some of the acts performed by heads of depart- ments during his long iliness. An what about the bills that became law under the ten days rule, that if not signed by the president within ten days after they are represented to him, they be- come law without his signature? Were those bills actually presented to him in person? Or did they merely reach the executive office and while he was/| still paralyzed did he sign any bills at all? Those questions’ are flying thick in the air. It seems probable Some investigation will be asked and the facts become known at no.distant date, It is not so much a question of placing the responsibility of any ir- regularity on the shoulders of any one person as to make certain such laws are not void as the result. The matter is. not unlikely to be carsied to the supreme court for discision, if persons dissatisfied with the outcome of certain important national me: ures bring the mattes before the court for a ruling. Claos would result. N it is known that hundreds of measures were permitted to become law without And if they should be repudiated or the fact that the president did not re- ceive them personally be established, much of the work of the 66th Con- gress might be overthrown. Its a pret- ty bad state of affairs that confronts | the leaders, and is more far reaching | than the mére dismissal of a Cabinet | officer. ; Foreign diplomats are greaty | perturbed. { The effect on the gue Is problem- atical, but is generally conceded to be adverse. - The senators who are class- ed as administration men were ready to follow the president very far, but whether they will continue in that! course, now the break with Mr. Lans- | ing has come, is not so certain. It is| understood that it will weaken the Hitcheock forces to a considerable ex- tent. But it is useless to make pre- dictions. t Apparently the substitutes for the| Lodge reservations are not making | much headway. The rumor is cur- rent that the republicans will stand solid ‘for the Lodge schedule ang in this will be followed by the reserva- tionist forces of the demog:atic side. The debate which begins today is like- Iy to be cut short by some cloture method if it promises to be #olonged beyond what is regarded as a proper | discussion. } In the meantime a lost list of am- | bassadors ‘and ministers wait the abil- receive them, before they can funetion officially—And Lord Grey went outj without such recognition, after trying ! for four months to get an audience | with Mr. Wilson. The ambassadors from Italy, Poland, Peru, Belgium, and | a long list of ministers from foreign countries are on the “waiting list.” It | is said these gentlemen—and their countries—are not over well pleased at the delay, or that the President re- ceived three members of the Brother- hood involved in Labor coptroversies, while diplomats of the highest rank are kept cooling their heels, and ‘the functions of their high office are be- ing conducted by secretaries. How- ever that may be, Washington is any- thing but a ‘“rest cure.” The air is full of political strife, and personal bitterness. Except for the few cus- tomary social events given by society women, and the daily motion pictures at the white house or the amusement of the president, there seems to be ng “lighter vein” in the official life of the Capitol. The official atmosphere is saturated with forebodings, distrust and restlessness. g The unusual prestige of being the one speaker at a regular session of the Senate, was accorded Senator Henry ‘W. Keyes of New Hampshire on Lin- coln’s birthday, when at the request of Senator Lodge, he read Lincoln's Gettysburg address from an original manuseript written in ink by Presi- jdent Lincoln' and which has been in the possession of the Keyes family for more than half a century.

Romun Catholie church tell us that Ccaglegationalism is not a religion, that in fact all Protestants are non- reiigious and heretics. So be it. In the opinion of the Roman church Mr. Howe is in the same position that all Sp.ritualists occupy in his opinion. As to I. J. W., 1 realize that this let- | ter will have no effect for “to argue with a “bigot is like giving medicine | to a dead man.” ALBERT P, BLINN. 1 realize how useless that would since F. J.

However, I could quote similar passazes from bath the 01d and New Testaments, but will ask the readers of this letter to read the Bible. My brothar Howe, for whom I have a great esteem and re- spect. has told us that Spiritualism is not a religion. That is his opinion, and he has a richt to express it. The pope of Rome and the prelates of the seript in Lincoln’s own handwriting is scarcely an inch thick, bound in green ; morroco and gold. It also contains the autograph manuscript of the Gettys- burg address of Edward Everett. Sen- ator Keyes has written President Low- ell of Harvard that he shall very soon present the volume to Harvard col- lege where it will be preserved for all time. Senator Keyes makes this gift in behalf of himself and his two broth- ers, all three of whom were Harvard graduates. The little velumn was compiled by Edward Everett in 1865 ! and is in its original form and bind- ing, and not a separate collection made by the Keyes family. Senator Keyes will make the formal presentation to Harvard sometime within the year 1920-but the exact date is not yet fixed. He may do so this spring, but has in mind holding it in his possession until after the formal dedication of the great Lincoln Memarial now nearing completion in Potemac Park, so that the original documeént may be used on that occasion. The manuscript is almest priceless in value and the Keyes ly have refused fabulous sums for it at the hands of collectors. The two brothers of the Senator— George T. Keyes and Charles W. Keyes are in entire sympathy with the pre- sentation of the manuseript to Har- vard. Senator Keyes has already had a facsimile of the address made, to- gether with a letter fully establishing its authorticity and how it came into the possion of his family. Before turn- ing over the paper to Harvard he will have fassimiles made of tue rast of the vojJumn and havé-them bound for preservation in his ‘own family. It seems that in 1864 a fair was to be given in New York for the benefit of soldiers of the civil war, and the sale of autographs was used to swell the fund. Senator Keyes explains the copy in his possession as follows: — “It was given by President Lincoln to Edward Everett, and he presented it, together with the manuscript of his own address, also delivered at Gettys- burg, at the consereration of the Na- tional cemetery on.the 19th of Novem- ber, 1863 to Mrs. Hamilton Fish, who was then president of the executive committee of ladies having charge at the fair in aid of the samitary commis- sion held in New York in March 1864, to be disposed of for the benefit of our soldiers of the civil war. These two manuscripts Wwere purchased at the fair by an uncle of mine and have been in the family ever sinece.” The manuscript from which Lincoln read or spoke his address was jotted down in pencil, but afterwards Lincoln miade two copies in ink, one of which was used in his own collection now in possession of his son, Robert Lincoln, and the other is the copy owned by Senator Keyes, and which Harvard will soen rink among its treasures. / Anothér interesting incident of the Lincoln birthday Congressional obser- vance took place in the House, where Gen. Sherwood of Ohio, now a member not, if it is such a delusion. that men | entirely away, it is bound to make | Conan | s)me awful heles in it and F. J.

Had I the time or considered it worth while, 1 could quoté two verses proving Spir- itualism to every one queted against “The last three points made in the o1 and women in every church, sect and denomination. We grant that and believe it. Hence there must be some honest coneg in the Spirituahist church. We also grant the second point; and row tor tne third and last, He says “that not all church mem- bers are Christians, but that the ma- Jurity of those who are church mem- bers and have their names on church books ats Christians in name only and not in fact” That looks pretty bad for the religion he is tryisg to uphold. Is that the best he can say of ortho- dox ehurches. If 1 could not say anything better than that about Spir- itualism I would keep still and “not think with my mouth.” As John Troland so aptly says: Does he really know anything about Spirit- valism or has his knowledge heen gained from some medium to whom he went to have his “fortune told,” If you go to a medium with your own mind full of chaff and expecting chaff you are very apt td get it. People fre- quently get just what they are looking for in this world. I am not going to try to prové the truth of Spiritualism to you, for people with much greater” minds than mine are doing it every day; besides it would take tpo long, the proof is so overwhe'lmhégfi. Just read and keep ears open and one will get proof if he really wants The chief difference between Spirit- valism and orthodoxy is that ortho- doxy teaches immortality and Spirit- ualism proves it. We acknowledge there are good and bad mediums, just as there are good and bad ministers. Some ministers preach and look like saints anfi live like devils. There are probably almost as many fakes in the Spirjtualist church as there are in the orthodox church; but when you read in the papers of some minister committing a crime you don’t say: “Oh, that religion s nc good.” So when you read of a medium who makes mistakes why should vou say Spiritualism is no good? Just because you do not under- stand Spiritualism is no reason vou shkeuld say it is no good, that is too much lile the woman looking at a giraffe and saying “there ain't no such animal.” Really, while I .am amused I cannot help but be sorry for. F. J. W. for the help and guidance and comfort he is missing. If the time ever comes when h~ loses someone near and dear, dear- er than life itself perhaps. it is my earnest wish he may have the comfort of Spirituallsm to carry him through the first awful weeks of angulsh.

Somes years ago what the weather for the inauguration of a president was to be was of great public interest. Horace Johnson predicted for that day a mighty storm, and the government predictiens were a beautiful spring day. Thousands, depending upon the government’s forecast, came long dis- th' tances thinly clad to the inauglration. Horace Johnson’s prediction proved true, and the result was hundreds took pneumonia on account of their exposure and many suffered death.
