Oustav Noske says the German peo ple are liivng In a state of intoxica tion. We had supposed they were only passing through the mourning after. As long as people are, unwiHing to practice self-denial and continue to pay any old price to get what they want, it is pure gabbleto talk about cutting the cost of living, in the opin ion of Governor Bickett. For the rea son the governor, gives or for some other good reason, the sort of talk he refers to,' It must be admitted, . hasn't risen out .of the gabble class yet. We are genuinely sorry to note the difficulty little Mary Pickford is having with tile business of getting her man problem straightened out, but we can't help believing that the fifth reel will show everything lovely and peaceful, " It is interesting to note that the ob jection raised by Governor Bickett to the overall movement is already being reflected by working men in several parts of the country. Trade unionists in Illinois have declared against the idea on the ground that it is piling up additional expense for the laborer who must have overalls. The cost of overalls has mounted considerably in the Middle West, it is said. The move ment, nevertheless, is gaining recruits every day and over an ever-widening , 'territory. It is an interesting experl-. t ment, undertaken impulsively, and the manner of its working out will 'be watched attentively by a public that ' is finding the cost of necessaries more irksome, month by month. A Berlin court has stuck heavy fines on three members of the late German nobility for throwing bottles, boots and candle sticks at members of the French mission. If they'd comply ful ly with the terms of the peace treaty, .they wouldn't have so much stuff to throw around that way. The Supreme Allied Council may be expected to devote a large portion of its approaching session to considera tion of the Turkish problem. What to do with the Turk, is one of the most vexing questions before th interna tional managers today. It is now fair ly evident that no government willing to accede to the Allied terms can sstand among the Turks, whose na tionalism has assumed an unwonted intensity. If the proposed terms are to be made effective, a larg Allied force musl be made available for an indefinite term of occupational service - on Turkish soil. There Is nofeagerness in any quarter to provide this force; hence the probability that the condi tions of peace will be modified and m effort made to conciliate the warring Turkish elements. " s Under other circumstances, and if arising from a different source, the charge of Hepresentative Madden, re publican, of Illinois, that "favorite" dealers of the war department are making millions out of the re-sale of surplus army supplies might be viewed as .really a serious matter. The reply of Representative Gard that "it Is easy for one to so speak in his protected capacity as a member of congress," suggests th& reason why most of us will feel disposed to discount the charge. This is a Presidential election year, and hay-making Is the principal business of our ; legislators. The re publicans in congress have developed the most avid zeal for economy, hon esty, purity, square dealing and the rest of the noble virtues all must ad mire; and at the same time they are moving heaven and earth to uncover ..something that, will place the demo cratic administration under a cloud. ' The ' result . has : been , a vast deal of wind-jamming ; and' expense, without the disclosure of any widespread crim inality among the democrats. Sad and regrettable , though It, is, there seems to be no means of escape ,from this quadrennial outburst. The people of Atlanta are preparing to organize tent, colonies as ameans of combatting the rent evil, we are In formed. Whether this is suggested in g-ood faith or merely through envy of Tampa's overall fame, ; we should "pre. ..." . fe." not to say at the moment; but sec ond fiddling is not in Atlanta's line.'

SMITH AND SIMMONS North Carolina's endorsement of Senator Simmons for the Presidential nomination is finding prominent lodge ment in the political campaign mate rial down in Georgia. Senator Hoke Smith has been strongly inoculated by the "favorite-son" bug, and his follow r ers are losing no time in getting the Simmons endorsement before the Geor gian voters as an illuminating example. But the success ! of the maneuver is doubtful. No part of the"1 country, we should assume, is more keenly con scious than the State of Georgia of the "wide difference between Senator Simmons and Senator Smith. Hoke's war record Is getting a thorough air ing. '' " Commenting on' the absurdity! of claiming a Smith endorsement because of the Simmons endorsement, the At- lanta Constitution writer in part as follows: As for "Senator Simmons, the democrats of North Carolina have every reason to feel proud of his . record. ' ;" ' ' - No man s(god more steadily than . he in support of the administration at all times, before the war and . since. . Not once has he sought to ob struct. v Not once has he flinched. Always, at all times and under all conditions, he has held and ex- -pressed and voted nothing but ut ter contempt for the "poison squad, of which Smith, of Georgia, .,ba beeli such a dependable mem ; ber! . .-. Simmons was ' Indorsed by the democrats - of , North Carolina be cause, his splendid record for loy alty and support of the adminis tration mads, him an appropriate man. arounowhom all forces of the state can unite In fighting for the very principle which here in Geor gia Smith is fighting against! The reason why the democrats of North Carolina should have in dorsed Simmons fs the very reason why those 'of Georgia should not vote -for Smith. Simmons was indorsedand was entitled to Indorsementbecause he .was always loyal to the admin istration especially to its war pol icies and because he nas under all circumstances measured four square as a patriot and as a dem- ocrat. - - v'' " - Lacking such a record present Jng, -rather, its antithesis! Smith reflects upon the common sense and patriotic integrity of his fellow citizens by asking Georgia to honor him as North Carolina has honored her senior senator! THE STRIKERS POSITION. Spokesmen for the striking yardmen maintain that the walkoutfwas forced upo'n the men by "economic pressure." It Is merely a matter of getting enough pay to provide bread and butter and shoes and stockings, they assert. They Jiave i gone over the heads of their brotherhood chiefs, feeling that the latter had been misled by false prom ises for more than two years afid could not be depended upon to gain the de sired; relief,1 we gather, from the state ment. The charge of radicalism and I..; W. W. influence is specifically and emphatically denied. We are -convinced that the striking yardmen have acted under the pressure of burdensome living costs, and that if any revolutionary taint has been given the strike it is incidental and in significant; but the fact that the men have yielded to mis-direction and short-sightedness still stands out clearly. They have displayed im patience and bad temper at a time when a spirit of moderation should have prevailed. With the railway la bor board In process of completion and every sign forecasting an. early sincere effort to adjust the differences between the roads and their employes, the pub lic had the right to expect that neither side would 'resort precipitately to weapons the use of which Inevitably re-acts Injuriously upon the nation's welfare. . Force Is not the Instrument to be employed by fhe roads, the roads' em ployes, the public or the government In t-hls conjuncture, The most ex plicit assurance of a sympathetic hear ing should be given to the 'striking yardmen, but " there can be no Intelli gent adjustment of their case on a moment's notice and they should be made to perceivethe unreasoning fol 4y of a stand that 'places the welfare of the whole people In Jeopardy while a permanent settlement of the matter Is being sought, The state of Sonora proposes to ask the United States for recognition as a belligerent. Why not- give us a sample performance before we commit ,our Belves? THERMOSTATIC METAL. A ntfw metal that bends when it is heated has just been announced as a British, invention. It Is called ther mostatic metal. It is prepared by permanently uniting throughout their length, strips of the two metals hav ing widely differen co-efficients of ex pansion with heat so that under a change of temperature, thecombined strip bends one way or the other. The reaction is stated to be always the same, in a; strip of "given, length and thickness, . for a igiven temperature .change and thus to pjfovide a Tellable basis for temperature Indication, con trol or compensation in-joven thermom eters,' electric heaters, ice machines and scientific instruments ofhigh pre cision. . SIGNALING ON RAILROADS. v It was 'but a; few' years ago that .electric'' signaling ..Was introduced on railroads. - Today- It; is an important branch of electrical engineering which ha just started to develop. During the government operation of the rail roads, government .experts saw the need as never 'before; for an automatie signal system that would stop trains when they passed through blocks. Such systems-are now being; developed and when the time of their universal ap plication arrives, there will, he won derful opportunities for' specialists, in this line of work. " ' v, . ; - Haskin's Daily Letter ; The Strength of the Smoke Party. " T Washington, D. . C, April 17. Fol lowing "hard upon the sensational an nouncement that Lucy Gaston Page,-the Chicago woman reformer, has announc ed herself as an independent candidate for the Presidency on. an anti-tobacco platform, thus injecting a smoke issue into an already heavily beclouded po litical sitaation, we have uncovered some highly significant facts, rumors and indications of sentiment, in regard to this new phase of the Presidential race. , .-, "..--'"..:.;.-.' . '' ' - Our reason for-writing- a piece on this subject is that everybody is now writins- stories of oolitlcal prediction. diagnosis and. prognostication, "letting forth at considerable length what win happen unless something ; else inters venes to maka the opposite take place. The rules for the writing of political articles "on the eve of a Presidential election" are hard and fast and we have tried to observe them all. In the nrst place such , a story ehould always con tain the word "sensation," and the sen sation referred to should be described if the writer's imagination is equal to the task. The chief sources of mror matton referred to should be rumor, cloak room gooslp at ,the capltol, and publico sentiment. Rumor Is anything you want to make It. Cloak, room gossip Is anything that any member of congress -may have said, or can be al leged: to have said without provoking him to ' denial. Public sentiment Is what the writer was told by any three men holding views congenial to his own. If possible a few facts, should be used. V v; '' - Having' thus set forth the recipe we will now proceed to concoct the dish. Parenthetically it should be added that we hare choseil the Lucy Gaston Page Presidential boom as a subject, not be cause of any partiality to the candidate or her views.' but because It seems to us that all Of the other Presidential booms have been written to death, while Ltfcy offers a comparatively unexploited field of enterprise.- . ' In order to prove that our subject is not a dead one, therefore, we begin by stating thaC when the Lucy Gaston Pag candidacy was announced, It caused a sensation In Washington Journalistic and politics circles. At the Press Club hardened political cor respondents; spilled their dominoes on the floor. A game of penny-ante was deserted with the stakes 6n the table. Some of the newspapermen in their ex citement even tried to use the tele phone. At the capltol It was the same. Cloak room gossip was, as the . best writers say, rjfe. The exact, nature of it we are unable to reveal. But anyway It was rife, and at last reports steadily getting rifer. During the month or so which has elapsed since the. Inception of the Lucy boom we have devoted our best energies to a study of the resultant situation rith o viw tn tliA writinc of this ex clusive and sensational story. One of the first authorities with whom we got In touch was Mr. Wayne B. Wheeler, invariably described as the bratns of the Anti-Saloon league, indicating1 that the rest of that organization Is of a distinctly non-cerebral character. The Brains threw a certain amount of cold water upon our hopes Of a sensational and epoch-making story. He not only Indicated that his organ ization and its brains are not back of Lucy, but went so far as to1 say that in his: opinion, her , candidacy rwas not to be' taken too seriously. He. even ven tured to predict, that Lucy. would not have a ' single .delegate pledged to her cause ft .either of the conventions. This, , however. , is not to be taken wholly as ail indication of opposition to the anti-smoke platform. The fact must be taken Into consideration that a pledged anti-smoke delegate could not very consistently smoke while, dis charging his duties as a delegate, and that no one could sit through either a republican or democratic' convention without smoking, and live until the final vote. This practical difficulty, it is thought. -Jnay r make necessary the calling of -a special convention for the nominatlon-ofLuoy- at which smokes will be barred but other anesthetics will be "administered to the delegates during -thespeaklng by licensed prac titioners. - - ' Mr." Wayne B. Wheeler, whose middle namo, should , indeed be brains, went on to explain to us why It is that the Anti Saloon league is concerned solely with the liquor question. In the second place, he explained, the;. question of smoking is regarded primarily as a health question, while drink is a men ace to morals as well as to . health. For this reason, he said, he does not be lieve that legislatures would pass laws laying an absolute prohibition upon, smokes, or that courts would uphold such laws. He inferred, what we be lieve :to be true, that in .order to make an American legislative or judical body lie down and play dead, sit up and beg, or jump through a hoop, you have to raise a realtor Imaginary moral issue. A little thing .like health is not held to be of anything like equal importance with morals. This is trorne out by the fact that such moral laws as the Mann white slave act aftd the prohibition amendment go through our congress with whopping majorities and are up held by 'the courts, while measures de signed to guard ' hefalth such as the child labor, and pure food " laws are rushed through laboriously and car fully .tJenaturlsed by the courts after wards. - ' - .-' . There are others, however, .who uo pot believe that the anti-smoke cayse is totally. without1 appeal. to the belli gerent American sense' of moral right eousness. " We have thoroughly can vassed public, sentiment on. this sub ject, and we find that there Is a wide spread feeling that the cigarette is dis tinctly a risque thing. The term "cigi arAttfi. fiend" for example, certainly con notes iniquity and depravfty. And fiction and the drama and the movies have done their part to lead the ciga rette into badcompahy. . White slav ers,; thugs, cracksmen. 'erfsirft husbands, vampires male and" f emale.

A pluto cratic .;vlllAin ;mayv;ma9tca'fe':;ai large black ycigar, moral status Is called5i Into qtieStlon ever smokes a pipe.' Can you imagine Theda Bara, operating a corn-cob pipe? And this brings us to the subject of our story the strength of the opposi tion to - the antt-smoke crusade. It is among the pipe, smokers of America. T DOAma clear .to. .11 tViaf publicity ckn easily maka thS cigarette a thing otvniaeousiniquity, so- that-no congressman- can vote, against cigarette-prohibition and still;- go 'bariR home and face the sewing clubs and the Chautauquas. It seemVaipt im probable that the eigar Can be made td shfcre -Its fate. But it will be "diffi cult Indeed, to besmirch . the reputation of the'pipe, and especially of. the" corn cob pipe, which,. still sells for five ceuts and decorates tfte'visates of "minibus i . of Americans who live In the country the traditional home of virtue, moral rectitude, wholesomeness and famiJy life. There were tears and gnashing of teeth when the workingman parted with his beer mug, but that distur bance was as nothing compared to' tUa Wail that will arise if the farmer Is weaned from his cob pipe.- - - -Indeed we have already, discovered a movement f or the organization of Corn-Cob clubs throughout the middlo west, and it is whispered that itepre sentative Percy Quin, of Missiflsipplv who smokes' a corn-cob pipe in the cloak rooms of congress, and brings his dinner to - the cabitol every day in tin pail, will be" the standard bearer of the. pipe-puffing, proletariat. ME. Dorenz, who operates a "PiPft Hospital" on E. street here in Washing ton, is also the source of significant .facts: in connection with the pipe move ment. Mr. Dorenz has made his living and sent 9 children through college by mending pipes, and is therefore a main stay of the pro-pipe element. He re veal's the sensational f act that quite recently Secretary of War Baker, and Vice President Marshall have had their pipes repaired and that Mr. McAdoo did the same not long before he deserted the treasury, for the screen. . The significance of. these significant facts is variously interpreted and elu cidated aby the political seers which abound in these parts. Some say the facts that these leaders have had ,their pipes put in order indicates that they have set their faces firmly against-the rising tide of anti-tobacco sentiment, and will cast their political fortunes with those who hope to smoke on. Oth ers say that the astute politicians have foreseen that the cigar and the ciga rette are doomed, and have bent their heads to the inevitable. . Secretary Baker, for example, is hot by choice ex. clusively a pipe smoker. He has been known to light a long cigar before ft- committee of congress, tilt Jt at an Impudent angle, and tell thesolons to go ahead with their questions. He is said to realize that such conduct is no longer possible to a man seeking a pub lic career and that hereafter he will confine himself to the sucking of a re spective briar in the privacy of his home. The true significance of. these thing, however, is a. matter for speculation. And nobody can say that we have noH speculated. We have done all that any political correspondent can to shed light on a complicated situation. The true story of this great cataclysm In American history, the greatest since the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, will bo written many " years hence when the smoke has been cleared away and the impartial historian, with a stick of sterilized candy in his unsullied mouth, sits down to his dismal task. "PERSONNETTE By Niksah One' of the worst enemies poor old John Barleycorn ever had is the. Rever end Cyrus f,P. Keen. He pursued the demon runi through Delaware, Mary land, New York, and Michigan, In "va rious capacities - in- the Anti-Saloon league, and when if gave up the stfug- .gle-here he sallied forth to England to do battle. ' . In spite: of his long intense struggle 'he ' is a very boyish-looking person with yellow hair and a mild blue eye. It is -with ImpassioTied oratory that ne works In the cause of, temper ance. .William H. Anderson, the state superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league in New York,-with whom Mr. Keen was associated, has no .words of praise, high nough for him. Mr. Keen has . just recently returned from England whore he was engaged in furthering prohibition with Pussy foot Johnson. He says that the work there is going very' well, considering the opposition. S . "The nickname 'Pussyfoot ' by the way," says Mr. Keen, "Is not the rather slighting term which some people think. During the Roosevelt adminis tration Mr. Johnson was appointed head of the detective bureau that protected the Indians from'-exploitatlon by un principled .business men. . The Indians in erratitude for his service to them. and as a compliment to his, sagacity as a detective, nicknamed nim fussy foot,' , a name which has stuck, to him ever since. They also made him a member, of th? Society of American Indians, a very unusual honor for a white man." Mr. Keen says 'that when Mr. John son first went, to England he received very little attention", favorable or oth erwise, from the papers there. One day while a reporter from the London Evening Mail was interviewing Mr. Johnson, Mr." Keen happened to address him by his nickname "Pussyfoot. -The sharp-eared reporter maae a noi.oi n and -the next day Mr. Johnson was Widely heralded in the public prints as '-'f "Pussy foot." However, as the ritckname seemed to be the means of gaining much .more publicity for him and, his cause he is not averse, to hav ing it used. Since his return to America Mr. Keen has been working as secretary of the Near, East Belief, in ;:New. York. This organization hask-ollected over 3,2,000,. 000 for the ratatvlrfg Afmenians, Thus Mf.

' . i - Savoyard's Letter Bryan, Hok$ and Cabot. Col. William Jennings Bryan is not quite 6 active In the political field as he. was a while ago. Can it be thar lie put his ear to the,.ground on the Democratic side of the hedge and heard nothing. but cheers for the Democratic President? More than likely. It is in the nature of the curious to contrast the reasons for the position taken by Colonel Bryan and Senator Smith,, of Georgia touching the Treaty of Ver sailles and the League of Nations: Sen ator Smith says the Democratic Presi dent is wrong in the stand he has taken und hence It is that the Sena tor lsNa .Republican on the issue of the League and argues and votes on . the Republican side of. that issue. Colonel Bryan-says that the President Is rigrit in. -his view of -the Leasrue, but the Colonel, In; a clumsy and . ridiculous ecstasy of pervert logic, agrees that It Is the duty of Democrats to align themselves , wfth. Senator .Lodge ' on the issue because the Republicans have a majority in the United States Sen ate. ' . I shall try to -Illustrate the vagary of Colonel Bryan's position by a nar rative ; entirely true, and .'altogether pertinent to the case. Many years ago when I was a reporter on a Louisville paper the late Asher G. Caruth vas the. rose and expectancy of the younger Democrats of that grand old town, God bless her. Mike Shea, a typical, a delightful, a lovable Irishman, was proprietor of a popular saloon on Fifth Street, and he fairly idolized. Asher. His were the best drinks in town, which 4s to say the best In the world, and hife boiled Kentucky country cured ham,;' piece de resistance of his. free lunch, made hla eats luxury beyond compare. Well, one night a party of u young Democrats captained- by Asher were In Mike's place holding in quest ov,er -the - Democratic situation and sampling the. creature luxuries Mike, provided, when Asher fulminated seme party strategy we debated pro and con with more or less: eloquent lury. Mike, to the surprise of all, opposed the scheme, and the debate .was. prolonged till nearly daybreak. Finally Asher prevailed in the council, and the seance was terminated with ;this oration by Mr. Shea: YYe're wrong, Asher, ye're wrons, me b'y, but I'm wld -yer." And so Mr. Bryan, approaching the nstoundeid Mr. Lodge, makes . remark, ' Sou are wrons, Cabot, you are wrong, Senator; but I'm with you." -As remarked, Mr. Bryan, conscious cf the absurd illo&io of his standr esj. cuaews it to himelf on- the. plea that Lodfire Is in 4he majority In the Sen ate. Blissfully, ignorant, or supremely contemptuous, of the fact that in the j making- of a treaty with a foreign power ine constitution makes the President a much greater factor than the.Senate, Mr- Bryan proceeds to elim inate the executive as a part of .. the treaty-making power and hands the entire job over to the Senate. Thus he would have the President -to efface h'maelf and bow to the Senate which the Constitution says can-only act In an advisory way. Not while Woodrow Wilson is President will that be done If I am not mistaken Mr. Thoiha Jefferson advanced th thought' that it was the highest attribute of fre gov ernment to protect minorities from the tyranny of majorities and that It .is the supremestvduty of minorities to .resist the encroachment on their T hts by majorities; but here comes Wr.

And ft. same is true of the Lodge forct k of the Fifty-first Congress. Carried its logical sequence, what is this nc preachment of Colonel r.ryan? win that it is the dutyj, of the minority Congress to take ai vacation and gj the majority free rein. It may be that Colonel Bryan jo. not think the offlceof President ehoii be .abolished, but he advises that be degraded in one of his rec nt uttei ances, as follows: "The majority in Congress shor assert itself at once. First,, hy cLaring the war at an end. Second, I declaring in favor of the nation's p ticipation in. the league of nations such terms as the majority shall agn upon." That eliminates the President, reckon Mr. Bryan would be astonish to near mat in ine aeoates ot me ios vention that- made. ' the Constitutio: ot ine unuea . states, that very qncs Hon was disposed of. It was propos. to confer on. C.onxess the power ; terminate a war as well as to inaugti rate a" war, and the proposal was re jected by 'a unanimous vote. The com mentators' aay: this' was done lierau the Continental Congress had shown a great' deal of impotence, in negotiat ing- the treaty with England ackno ledging our Independence. . It is-not at all strange that Colon' Jbryan. and Senator Lodge have cm together. . Temperamentally they twin fruit Of the same twig, grapei! the same bunch, vegetable of the sat pod, - root of the same hill. As t late Senator Carm'ack sarcastically rt marked, -Mr. Lodee is eternally cending- from Boston with a revt!s tion for mankind, and Mr. Bryan another apostle immaculate who eternally comins down from Sit with tho law and the testimony. BoJ are- burdened with a despotic ; science that agonizes over th shor:- coming3 of us meaner folk, ami persist in judging what is Egypt as' what is Canaan. By the ay. Herbert Hoover sa good thing the other clay that smack of the !al Tom Heed and shows ttu he has a vivid sense of humor. P. So a personal explanation .Mr. iloovf let the public know that -he is "not Penrose Republican nor a Bryan I ccrat nor a Hearst American.:' If Hoover sets the nomination of eithf arty and succeeds in making IW three public characters the parainot" issue he will carry every state In Union, tvery congress district ir Union, and every bounty in the "L"ni Washington.
