Here's a Congressman proposng a
law to compel Washington civilians
to salute the flag whenever it pass
es in parade. That's a good way
to go about killing a fine patriotc
sentiment.
:o:
Selfish politics has about ruineu
this country and the leaders, whn
don't give a continental for the com

sentiment in this country.
:o:
A man who is a republican when
the party is wrong is not a good
American citizen. And neither is
a democrat, when he persists in
sticking to the party right or wrong.

The serpent that beguiled Eve

The Democrats have before trem
a world of opportunity, particularly
if La Follette comes into the field
and carries a few states which are
normally Republican. The danger Is
that the Democrats will not take ad
vantage of their opportunity. Let
them nominate a candidate whose
political records and opinions are
not in consonance with the thought
of the country, or let them adopt a
platform which does not reflect the
progressive tendencies of the times,
and they are beaten before they be
gin the campaign. The party must
play at New York good politics and
it must reveal good statesmanship.
It cannot win otherwise, even on the
record of Repulican maladministration.

POOR PICKERS
Whatever may be said of president
Coolidge, it is fairly certain he is
the most skillful of the White
House occupants in selecting politi
cal nonentities or high official posi
tion. His first cabinet appointment
brought to Washington Curtis Wil-
bur as Secretary of the Navy. Tin
successor of Denby may be peculiar
ly able as the executive head of a
great department of government, but
he is wholly inexperienced in such
a place, so far as the country is in
formed. The cheif justice of a state
supreme court is not naturally re
garded as being pre-eminently fitted
to administer the affairs of the Unit
ed States Navy.
Now comes Harlan Fiske Stone,
former dean of the law school of
Columbia University. to succeed
Harry M. Daughtery as Attorney
General. Mr. Stone, no doubt, is
well grounded in the law. He has
given his life to the training of stu
dents in this profession. There is
probably nothing about the law from
an academic viewpoint, that Mr.
Stone does not know. But he is en
tirely unknown to the great major
ity of lawyers who have not had
the privilege of attending Columbia
University. There is no assurance
whatever that he is practical enough
to handle efficiently the affairs of
the greatest law office in the coun
try. However, there is some basis for
ribnudence in the fact that Mr. Stone
las .le-1 er been act'. . ely Indentified
with rr titles. At least, it may be
assumed that he is free from that
political trickery that has possessed
former members of the CaMnet
President Coolidge inherited. He
is not a Daugherty by training and
experience, and that is the one bless
ed thir.s to contemplate just now.
:o:
WILL GERMANY EVER PAY
Getting blood out of a turnip is
easy, compared with extracting rep
aiations from Germany. That much
i-i becoming apparent though it's
hard to get at the truth. Both sides
color their statistics. Figures don'i
lie, but liars figure, as Kin Hub
bard remarks.
In 1923 for instance according
to the reparations commission, the
allies were able to squeeze out of
Germany only about the equivalent
of three and a quarter million dol
lars.. The Germans in addition de
livered 111 million dollars worth of
manufactured goods and other com
modities on reparations account.
These two items do not include
whatever France and Belguim were
able to make in the way of profits
out of their occupation of the Ruhr.
By the time the expense of the
armies of occupation were paid, not
much was left in the way of net
indemnity.
Up to the beginning of 1524, Ger
many had paid a total of only a lit
tle more than two million dollars,
t
the reparations commission claims.
A third of this amount was in the
form of deliveries of ships, war ma
terials, cables and territory includ
ing the Saar mines.
Apparently Alsaace-Lorraine is
not included under surrendered ter
ritory. Nor the Germany colonies.
These are worth billions.
Even considering these figures
with an eye for propaganda it's evi
dent that Germany has not paid a
cent more than she had to. For
that mtter, she never will.
How many nations would? Any?
At the peace conference, Euro
pean diplomats began talking about
reparations of from 36 to 180 billion
dollars. Some of the American fi
nancial experts who were present
said "Germany will pay five billion
dollars cash surely, six billions pos
sibly but not more than seven."
What Germany should pay and
what she will pay are separate and
distinct mtaters.
All the gold that's left in Ger
many wouldn't be a drop In the buc
ket compared with what the allies
want, France in particular.
How then will Germany pay? Her
imports are still exceeding exports
unions she's juggling her figures
which is more than likely.
The leading nations want Ger
many to sell goods abroad, build
up favorable trade balances and turn
the money over to the; war winners.
Then the same nations surround
themselves with high tariffs and ev
ery other conceivable fence to keep
out German goods. They favor sell
ing but to some one else.
Skeptics have a glimmering sus
picion that reparation payments will
depend mainly on the length of time
required until Germany will feel
strong enough to point to her new
crop of cannon fodder and announce
that she's through paying. Maybe,
though, as optimists hope she will
pay voluntarily.
:o:-
Some people don't like their lo
cal paper: that's nature. Many of
ihese rustle around to get acopy of
it from someone else as soon as it
is printed; that's larceny.
STANDARD TRAFFIC RULES
One of the things urged at the na
tional traffic conferences held re
cently in New Haven was standard
ized traffic regulations.
The need of such standardization is
evident. Rules vary greatly from
state to state and from city to city
There are always local conditions
requiring special local rules of one
kind or another, especially for park
ins, but in the main, there is little
need of variation. It would im
mensely simplify the situation for
tourists if there were a national sys
tem of rules providing for the usual
contingencies of automobiling, so
thai a driver entering a new sec
tion, state or city would be less at
sea
No less desirable, and perhaps
more easily obtainable, would be the
standardization of driver's signals.
' ich are largely informal and vol
ciitary. Nowhere do such signa.s
".eent to have been worked out yet
in a simple complete system, coy
ilng all the ordinry situations an 1
n; king known clearly just what r
driver is doing or intends doing. Th
automobile clubs ought to be able
in handle this problem.
