With his usual gift of plain speech. Pre mier Clemenceau puts in one short sen tence the core of the Flume question: "Italy promised Fiume to the Jugo slavs but went back on her promise.” The fact is undeniable. Tiie Italian •Tugo-Slav love feast in Home confirmed it. Tiie treaty of London, between Britain. Italv and France, formally ratified it in terms precise. And neither with the love feast and the treaty of London nor with th - official and unofficial proposals pre cedi: both bad the United States any thing ,0 (1° The Fiume issue, thus settled, was re vived in an attempt to save the Orlando minietrv. It was claimed that, after the treaty of London, the liussian collapse Imposed fresh duties, dangers and sacri fices upon Italy—which was true. But that disaster did not lessen the need of the Jugo-Slav;. behind Fiume. and lie- Mag yars behind them, of a trade outlet by the only standard gauge railroad across the Dalmatian Alps. The history of the Fiume question may not indicate its solution now. But openly or secretly. Fiume merchants favor the treaty of London: a custom house behind as well as before their doors would throtv ! trade to Trieste. The recent prebiseite, £ though its full meaning is ill understood, show's that Fiume tires of d’Annunzio. He admits t hat "Fiume's voice has changed.” All Italy's troubles in respect to Fiume are th" result of the Italian government’s attempt to nullify a promise. Farmers Earned Their Profit. From the Topeka Capital. Tiie wages tiie farmers have bppn obliged to i ay. the feed for teams and the high priced seed and implements absorbed a good part of the price of $2 wheat and even of $1.50 corn, when corn crops were t.ear failures. A good part of tiie country has talked about the farmer's $2 wheat as if the increase was profit. But with tiie industrial strikes and threats of strikes tiie country is corning around to believe that whatever profit accrued to the farmer was earned. A Safety Zone. From the Minneapolis Tribune. Once in a white an idea comes out of Mexico that is quite worth encouragement on this side of the border. One of those ideas lias just floated across. It con templates the establishment of a neutral zone throughout the length of tlie boun dary line in which the sale of intoxicants shall be restricted. Especially is this plan desirable if ttie smuggling and use of liquor have tended to inflame a situation that is delicate and dangerous enough at best. Two-thirds of tlie estate of Lord Ply mouth in East Worcestershire, England, was purchased by his tenants. Most of tlie estates being sold by various lords end dukes throughout England are being purchased by the tenants. One Streak of Luck. From the New York World. There is not much luck in this world for democrats but they must be able to find a few grains of comfort in the report that Henry Cabot Lodge Is to be chairman of tlie republican national convention. A Fine National Habit From the New York Times. The relief of suffering has become a na tional habit, and those who are not af fected by altruistic considerations may remember that a starving Europe is not the best guarantee of a prosperous America.

The Real American Stab. j She Would Not Agree to Limit Armaments—Other Na- j tinnn IWTiict. Vniv Arm I *• From the London Spectator. In our opinion, then, we must go forward with the league whatever the policy momentarily adopted by America. The real danger of America's action does not concern herself. It consists in the fact that other nations, great and small, in whom ambition is beginning to awaken, may make the American reservations an excuse for abandoning the league. In all probability the Ameri can senators do not fully realize the enormous dynamic force which America now exercises in the European world. It is not too much to nay that if the Senate passed the treaty without reservation, no European state would have flared to consider the possibility of breaking away. With America apparently only hanging loose on the league, all the Maohiavellis, petty and great, of Europe are inclined to say: “Why should we tie our hands if America won't tie hers? I.et us be as free us she is.” If that evil counsel were (o prevail, Europe would indeed be in deadly peril. Whether then the Americans are able to help us at the moment or not, the rest of the great powers, Britain. France. Italy, and Japan, and such smaller states as they can influence, must go forward with the league. We detest the idea of exposing ourselves to the charge of exaggera tion in such a matter as this, but the truth must be spoken even at the risk of being thought sensational. If the League of Nations were to be abandoned, the world would be exposed to dangers greater than it lias ever before encountered. We must take from America as much as she can give us. and- foe we are certabi we can do this safely—trust to her “making good" at n later dale, if she cannot at present give us a scaled bond, we at any rate may find in her history and in the character of iter people, guarantees as firm in reality though not ;n apnee-onoe, a? her plighted word. '/he i.kgue must be.Iiluile a ilvfi.g thing, and if any difficulty should arise the powers that compose it must, without any false shame or sense or amour propre, app< al to America, if she remains outside, to help them in supporting it. They would not, we are sure, make such an appeal in vain. Those who are inclined to think that the league, with America not committed to it, will be of no use, and so had better be thrown over at once, should consider bow infinitely eas|er it uji! be to carry out the general wishes of mankind if such an organiza tion as the league exists. Take the trouble of the moment. There Its no country in the world, certainly not Russia, which does not passionately ties're to stop th lighting which is now going on in northeastern Europe, to end Lois’: vist tyranny, and to give the people of Russia whatever government Ik majority of litem desire. If the League of Nations v.cre in existence. Its council would be just the body which could handle the situation in Russia effectively, which could tell the warring parties and nations to put up their swords which, in fine, could make an end of the agony of a continent. Before Europe ami America gathered under one banner even the ustutest and most self confident of bolshevist tyrants must fear and tremble. Wc have one more word to say by way postscript. Though generally we do not take a tragic but only a serious view of the reservations, there is one point on which wc agree that serious damage has been done by the Senate. The reservations in regard to Article X do not by any naans kill the league. The real trouble is found in the reservation under which America will not agree to the limitation of armaments. Here is the crux, if Amcr.ea will not agree to this limitation, it is to be feared that many of tHe* small state will follow Iter example, for we can hardly say to th-m, though it is th* truth: “America is far more likely to let her armaments go to si ed than any oth**r country in the world, and therefore she can safely be allowed tin* luxury of insisting on tins reservation. Vou cannot." if wo are not able to do something t> limit arma ments and to prevent the old deadly competition, how is it possible that Europe should ever heal her wounds? The mitigation of armaments, though admittedly the most difficult point under the league, is also the po nt of most practical importance. We tan hardly survive unless we bent our sworils into plough shares. But in the present unrest anil distrust, how can we accomplish that process unless there is a firm sljinil against competition ii< armaments, and some machinery for preventing ambHiour. nations from sacrificing the material interests of their people in order to have the opportunity some day of practicing that system of international brigandage which we hoped to have destroyed for ever when we destroyed the Prussian tyrants? 1 | Pooling With a Difference. | From the New York World. Tn a recent letter to the World, Judge Lovett, of the Vniou Pacific system objects to a parallel drawn in these columns between the old pooling system and certain features of the pending Cummins hill. Tie says: The facts are that all the old pooling arrangements dealt only with gross earnings, not with net. The whole point of the objection to the Cummins lull is that it appropriates net earnings. And the whole point of this objection to the (Timmins bill is that an appropriation of net earnings above a certain percentage would tend to destroy competitive effort among all the roads in improving and economizing service. There is force in what Mr. Lovett says, considering the Cummins plan by itself. But with the pooling of gross instead of net earnings, and practically speaking, how greatly was competition in character and economy of service stimulated? The whole tendency and the whole purpose of the old pooling system was monopolistic and against competition of any sort. The public records are silent about the existence of any effective competition. The development of public policy against that form of pooling is a continuous negation that com petition existed. The whole scheme was of monopoly among all pos sibly competing carriers whose individual incentives to better service might be none the less deadened by diversions of gross instead of net earnings for the benefit of others in the pool. That the Cummins plan is a great improvement over that one in respect to service competition will have to he conceded. Its particular feature at this point is that it avoids monopoly for all of the carriers which might he competing and divides them up into 20 or more groups, which are left freely competing as to service and solvency, hut not as to rates. 4444444444444444444 4 ♦ 4 MEN MUST COOPERATE. 4 4 4 4 Governor I.owden. 4 4 Private property must remain if 4 4 civilization is to go on, and the 4 4 more people Who own property the 4 4 higher will that civilization be.

From the Christian Science Monitor. For at least 10.000 years, says a writer who has made a hobby of collecting old lamps, there was practically no change In the type of lamp with which mankind sought to carry on his affairs after night fall. The ancient Homans, for example, used almost identically the same kind ol lamp as the so-called "betty” that th« Pilgrims brought to Am'erida in the May flower. A container held the oil, and wick, floating or loosely confined in it, provided a "smoky, smelly spark of light,” all the more inconvenient because the oil was so crude and the wick had frequently to be "picked up" and freed of the accu mulated carbon crust Yet the "betty” | had its conveniences, for it possessed a I staple by which it could be hung up almost anywhere. Not till 1782 it's sur ! prising to learn, did Argand, a Swiss or | French chemist, conceive the idea of a j lamp with a wick and chimney; less sur prising is it to know that Benjamin I Franklin took a hand in the matter and i discovered that two wicks placed close to | gether were better than one.

When Columbus landed on tlit* island of Haiti a huge banquet was given in his honor by a native' chieftain, and <ni dial occasion lie chaiiced to notice that two or three of the aboriginal guests bore scars on their naked imilles suggesting serious wounds. In response to his polite inquiry, they said that the scars represented bites which gentlemen from the near by island of Caniba had casually taken out of their persons. It was further explained flint the people of Caniba (known today as Porto Ideo) were addicted to the habit of eating human flesh, and that, to ob tain tliis gastronomic luxury they wore accustomed to undertake armed raids upon die Haitians and other neighbor folks. Hence (ns wtv^lenm) the origin of die word “cannibal.” Doing Well. When mother and tier brood started for town die weather was threatening, so she did not go unprepared.
