New- - berry.” Senator La Follette told nothing but plain truth when he said: “There will be in the next campaign no issue commensurate with the one you are now placing before the country, and that issue ts, Can a seat in this body be bought?” ‘Political history will never record a more pitiful piece of pettifogging than the Willis amendment of censure, .

SIGNIFICANT aspect of the invocation of injunction protection by the Garment Work- ers’ Union is found in the array of counsel pre- senting the case of the workers. The workers put their case and cause in the hands of highly competent attorneys. This is as it should be. The union enjoyed the service of Counsel as good or better than those employed by the Protective Association. In this instance Mr. Untermyer is understood to have served from motives of public service. Never- theless, the union is financially able to pay for the service rendered. Labor law is relatively a new field, It is not Surprising to find few eminent specialists. But if the next few years do not develop a number of attorneys of outstanding ability in this field, it will be because the unions fail to take advantage of their opportunities to employ and encourage such men. The unions can well afford to encourage able lawyers to specialize in the presentation of labor cases that come to the courts. Perhaps the unions } will never be able to pay such princely retainers as some of the great employing corporations and associations. Nevertheless, there will be lawyers as well as physicians, educators, pastors and news- paper workers who will be willing to sacrifice a certain measure of money reward for the satisfac- tion of the work. Young men who intend to make a profession of the law will do well to survey the field and lay their plans to become pioneer specialists in this branch. The decision of the authorities that the Synura in the city’s water supply are less objection” able alive than dead recalls the old story of the man who was urged to boil his drinking water to kill the germs, He refused on the ground that he’d rather be an aquarium than a ceme tery. TOO CUNNING. OV. DAVIS of Virginia? makes a proposal. He would have a constitutional amendment barring from public office all “hypocrites and law- evaders” who are “politically dry” and “personally wet.” He would require each candidate for public office to swear that he had not violated the Prohi- bition laws since the Eighteenth Amendment be- came part of the Federal Constitution and that he would not break those laws in future. The Anti-Saloon League will not take that bait. The Evening World has repeatedly remarked how surprisingly little attention the Anti-Saloon League pays to the personal attitude and habits of Judges, legislators and public officialk—many of them in the highest rank of eminence and useful- ‘ness—who in private life treat Prohibition as some- thing between a nuisance and a joke. This is because of the recognized uprightness, temperateness and public service of many of these Prohibition-scorners. “The Anti-Saloon League fears to come to grips with them. We are not speaking now of the contemptible smeaks and hypocrites in Legislatures who vote as tif Anti-Saloon Leaghe tells them to vote, at the - same time consuming all the liquor they like from private stocks or bootleggers We are speaking of honorable, highly esteemed men in public life who have consistently opposed the present extreme of Prohibition law and who cannot bring their reason to approve or always evén to respect it. ‘ If the Anti-Saloon League lets them alone, it is because the Anti-Saloon League is cunning enough to realize the danger of attacking them, The only hope for Prohibition in its” present form is to keep concealed as long a8 possible the quality of brain, character and usefulness repre- opponents. From the pot of view of the Anti-Saloon League, it is far safer to drive the poor and igno- rant to wood alcohol than to challenge further the best thought in the communily by the sort of programme Gov. Davis proposes. WHO IS FRANCE? NDER present circumstances the life of a U statesman in France is impossible.” M. Viviani has expressed it—present cizcumstances being the extraordinary failure of public opinion in France to discourage political intrigue of tre sort that has exploited French fears;and the post-war plight of Europe to pull down Briand. Chauvinistic nagging at Briand efforts to keep France friends with the rest of the world has done its work. Briand has thrown up the job. Poincare and his group must now show what kind of: France they dare present among nations working tor dis- armament and peace. f French politics have always been in the main the bubbling of a political pot not miich: bigger than Paris. The Paris press is ee oli the ‘thumb of whatever political group, wer. In a larger sense, the people wef Fi ave been peculiarly detached from the politig é capital. It is amazing, however, that sin yar public opinion in France has not played a bigger part in controlling petty factionalism and putting France before the world as a nation ready to prove itself the frank enemy of militarism and the ambitions that go with militarism. ’ It has been said that every man, woman and child of French blood instinctively loves soldiers—that they would rather be taxed to death than give up soldiers, Does the persistence of some of this old instinct, together with the fear of Germany, acco.nt for the ease with which militaristic elements in present French politics are able to upset disarmanent poli- cies and pretend to speak for the French nation? It is true that since the war France has had dis- appointments and discouragements—not tie least of “which have been due to the refusal of the United States to accept the slightest responsibility for safe- guarding peace in Europe. But France cannot afford to isolate herself because of what the United States has or has not done, It is high time for the French people to get a new grip on their politics and say whether “personality” or group, acting in their name, shall play fast and loose with the reputation of France. On Friday the Thirteenth it is bad luck to slip on icy walks and pavements. THEY'LL NEED SORTING, HATEVER the municipal authorities may think about the existence of a crime wave, there is small doubt among the legislators from New York. A flood of crime bills has been introduced at Albany, and more are coming. Many of these may be good in themselves with- out deserving to pass. Many seem to apply to special cases which might fay better be deali with under general statutes. What should be done is to consign the job lot _ to a single joint committee with power to winnow the good from the bad and the general from the particular. ‘One comprehensive bill, carefully drawn and fully considered, is better than any quantity of nuisance laws. There is no doubt, however, that a tightening. up of the machinery of punishment is imperative, whether in the form of heavier sentences or in a speeding up of the machinery of justice, or both, TWICE OVERS. ce E reject with indignation a policy of taking all possible economic advantages in all parts of the world, while shirking international responsibilities and obligations.” —Federal Council of Churches. * * * ce TREATY negotiated in good faith by the executive department of our Government should have the benefit of any reasonable doubt.

The Scottish allies were cousins to the Irish and spoke the same language, Joined by an Irish army under Donall O'Neill, Edward Bruce set about the business of ousting the Normans by defeating Richard do Burgo, the “Red Earl" of Ulster, and Sir Edmund Butler, the Lord Justice at Connor in Antrim.

Psychoanalysis. You and Your Mind By ANDRE TRIDON IIL—THE MEANING OF DREAMS. As the psychoanalytic viewpoint mentioned in a previous article was derived from Freud's observation of thousands of dreams, we must, before proceeding any further, discuss the meaning of dreams. Dreams bring us solutions for all the difficulties of our life. They al- ways are, regardless of whether they are pleasant or unpleasant, the ful- filment of our conscious ‘or uncon- scious wishes. Those solutions may be very ab surd and then again they may be ex tremely sensible. This is why we ar bidden “to sleep over it."
