The first reaction on opening the volumes is to wonder what awful thing would have happened to @my agency less pure and less “American” than the Lusk Committee that might have been detected as possessing all the material on “subversive” move- ments which the Luskers inchaled in the first two volumes of their monumental work. If any pubte library had collected and catalogued such an anthology of revolution it woukt have seemed proof positive to Luskers that the library was undermining American institutions. The first “Lusk recommendation would have been to call out a regiment or two of soldiers to guard the library from the public—or the public from the Mbrary. The second would have demanded the expulsion and arrest of the librarian, The third would have een to order a public burning of the contaminating documents—an American auto da fe. But of course, having passed through the purify- ing hands of the Lusk Committee, the texts and history of governmental subversion are now hann- fess and may be distributed to libraries as reference work: As it is, Senator Lusk and Mr. Stevenson ought Hl to send a warming to librarians. The first two } volumes should never be loaned to any one without @ clean collar, a fresh shave, a recent haircut and an American flag in his buttonhole. SUNRISE IN THE WEST.” R. L. A. BAHNER, secretary of a mercantile firm operating fearly 300 retail clothing stores in twenty-five Western States, has written to The Evening World as follows: We give you herewith reports of our sal For the month of April, 1921...., $3,721 BHT For the month of April, 1920..... 2,854,609.52 Increase in April sales...--...... $971,716.05 Sales Jan. 1, 1921, to April 30, . 1921, inclusive ...........+++.-$12,949,713.41 Sales Jan. 1, 1920, to April 30, 1920, inclusive ......-..006 sees 8.496,612,03 « $4,453,101,38 Increase in sales for period. This is not whistling to keep up courage while passing the graveyard. For this firm, operating in fhe West, the graveyard is already passed. 1 To change the simik, it is suggested that Eastern manufacturers may be wise to look to the West to see the sunrise. - PERSHING BOSS. EN. PERSHING is not to be “shelved” or “kicked up stairs.” The announcement yesterday that Gen. Pershing is to succeed Gen. March as Chief of Stalf is en- tirely different from the- vague feelers put out re- cently in regard to the plan to make the leader of the A. E. F. a paper soldier in command of a paper _.Staff of a paper General Headquarters. Public opinion wouldn’t stand for any plan that coukin't be explained in simple terms aid which would not give power and command to the man who had proved his fitness for command. On its face, the announcement yesterday seemed frank and straightforward. Pershing will be boss, and he will have competent assistance to take much of the detail work. If the present scheme works out in that way, well and good. If it does not, Pershing’s friends will renew the fight. The mere fact that Pershing as a militar reflects the peaceful ideals of level-headed civil and not jingo sword-raitlers of the cligue is his best recommendation. military theatrical “elaquer at unpopular Buenos Aires the furnish applause “paper the house” for have “demanded their rights In who “first nights” and production and are organ- ? izing e union for recognition and regular rates of pay This may seen) an unusual proceeding, but docs it differ widely from the informal mutual | at : admiration secicties which seem to be one of 3} | the principal manifestations of modern letters in America?

Nor is such jus: as the treaty aims at to be one thing for Germany and an entirely different thing when interpreted or applied by another Government, It was time this was said, and Lloyd George has said it, The British Premier's speech in the House of Commons yesterday on the situation in Silesia was an eioquent pkea to France to remember that Allied unity is founded on Allied fairness, It has been only too apparent that the French tavored Polish efforts to annex Upper Silesia by force and would welcome an ad- vance of German troops agamst the Poles as a pre- text for French invasion of the Ruhr. Lloyd George does not mince words: Government has “Not merely to disarm Germany, bui to say that euch troops as she has are not to be per- mitted to take part in restoring order—that is not fair. To eay to Germany, ‘Here ts your province, here is something which has been de- cided by the Treaty of Versailles either for or against you, but the Poles are to be allowed, in defiance of that treaty, to take it, and you will not be allowed to defend yourselves in a province which has been yours for 200 years and which certainly has not been Polish for 600 years,’ is discreditable and not worthy of the honor of any land. I am perfectly certain that will not be the attitude the Allies will take.” The British Premier does not spare the Polish Government even though it has repudiated respon- sibility. The Poltsh Government, he declares—re- calling Vilna—“has disclaimed responsibility once too often.” Nevertheless, it is to France that the speech comes home. This is not the first time the French Government has had to be reminded that French desire to ocoupy the Ruhr and French eagerness to cripple Germany beyond recovery are not the sole factors to be con- sidered in a peace upon which depends the economic future of all Europe. The menace of French force was an incalculable help in bringing Germany to unconditional accept- ance of the reparation terms. In urging that acceptance upon the Reichstag, the German Chancellor, however, truthfully said: “The treaty, upon us, entails for the sacred duties.” which casts a heavy burden Allied Governments The French menace did what it was meant to do. Germany has accepted its burden and declared it will try in good faith to discharge its debts. Now comes the right moment for downright British insistence that duties and obligations of the Allied Governments under the treaty must likewise be fulfilled. Lloyd George has taken a courageous stand in the cause of confidence, WHY NOT EARLIER? SCASIONALLY cames the impulse to be a little less than kind and say, “We told you so.” The Evening World exposed the original Emer- gency Tariff Bill and dubbed it the “Fordney Fake The present bill differs only in name and in minor details. The Herald yesterday gave evidence of a sudden awakening. We have gleaned a few of the sentences from the Herald criticism: “There * 6 © be will enough to preclude the of the farm geting out of this hocus-pocus emergenty delay chance ers or any otier dividends to speak of on their old crops, ‘Old market, “How farmer pe purpose: wheat has largely gone to * * ¢ satisfaction will to have come it be the the emergency tariff time to suit much to the . bo just the anybody can judge for hirs ‘As for the law of supply and demand 1 in of ee ulators ° new crop economic going to govern Perhaps after the farmer has parted with his fresh store at disappointing prices to him, leg- islative genius again will * © * hoist spec ulative stocks * * * up the market ladder.” “The farmer and the public * * will not be served by humbug legislation. ‘They can e hand something to the legislative per- formers who put it over. the Herald 1 not nporaries while th | Strong advocate of this mild pleasure ! mesen |THE EVENING WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 14, | Trying to Make a Blaze!

The Twenty-Year Perted. ‘To the kalitor of The Krening World: Twenty years the limit when everybody apposed to Prohibition will be satisfied. Such ts the assertion made by Willam H. Anderson, Su- perintendent of the Anu-Saloon League. Presumably he expects to continue fooling the people ail that time. | Whether Mr. Anderson is right or not about that twenty-year limit depends on what is left then of the private stuck the privileged class now have on hand. It has been said and without contradiction that a certain United States Senator before he voted for the Eighteenth Amendment had his cellar stocked up with $40,000 worth of liquor. If the cellars of the rich contain an me near that much booze it migat be fifty years before everybody is forced to be satisied Meanwhile, Mr. Anderson and his ssistants will hold down work. In closing up the sa- |loons the work so far indicates that the police, without any additional expense whatever, accomplished more in one month than Anderson's Anti- Saloon League could ever hope to accomplish in twenty years. Yes, it’s trae about you being able to fool some of the people some of the time. 7G B Haeuing World of this dat HOR ask is right to have roller skating uround t Mind night that ¢ {Central Park ft certs are tha at is a pity benetits t " Neordors, As one who has always been and whe thes, though now past the thir- frequently indulges in it as a of relaxation after long hoars in an office chalr, L should say by all means encourage roller akuting, both indoor and outdoor, It is also better to allow Idren to roller skate in the pari than out tn the gutters, where they are liable to accidents in traffic A little me skating and leas nerve-racking jaze would also be in omer, NON -DYSPEPTIC. ure jobs and let the police | | i and a lot of satisfaction im trying | 79.

Edueation, which enables a man to come by these things, costs very little. The man who complains that he edueation deserves little sympathy. Education to-day is one of the cheapest of commodities. It costs money, of course, to take a four y course in college, although there are thousands of students whe work their way through colleges all the year. As a matter of fact, about all a college can do is to teach a man how to get an education. The real education he gains by applying the rules that he learns in the classroom and the lecture room. Some of the most brilliant men in America and in Eng land have been self-educated. Such a man was Mark Twain. Such another was Charles Dickens. Mark Twain had little schooling. Dick had little, Both, however, read all the books they could lay their hands on, Both asked multitudes of questions of everybody they thought could answer them. Both became very great men, very great writers, and of vast use in the world. Your education will cost you practically nothing if you really want it. Go to a library, Talk to the librarian about what you ought to read. Then read it, and keep on reading and thinking about what you read. The only price you will have to pay is the time you spend, and the education you will receive will be worth many thousand times the price. has never had any ars One chap said he would | old By Albert P.
