Italy and the Bolsheviks.
The Italian Socialists are the
best reason why the Italian Gov
ernment will refuse to negotiate
formal peace with Bolshevist Rus
sia. Peace with Lenin would mean
increased prestige for the Italian
Bolshevism and a flood of alien
agitators if free intercourse be
tween Russia and Italy were made
possible. ' The advantages of co
operation with the Western Powers
are so great that no Italian gov
ernment is likely deliberately to
pursue a contradictory course on a
matter of this fort. For the time
Italy's policy toward Bolshevist ,
Russia will be neither peace nor
war.—New York Times (ind. Dem.)
How Many Reds Read History?
It would be interesting to know
how many of the thousands of
alien Reds now under arresf havs
any knowledge of the long history
of self-government; of the painful
struggles attending the movement;
of the reason for written Consti
tutions; of the theory and practice
of majority rule and the limita
tions placed upon it, and of the
rights which are guaranteed to
minorities.
The United States Government
was formed by revolutionists. By
the terms of its great charter it
is possible for persistent majori
ties to undo all that has been done
and create a system wholly new,
but they must act at all times in
obedience to law. If majorities
are thus held to the observance of
constitutional methods, it follows
as a matter of course that the
same restrictions apply to minori
ties. The minority, safeguarded in
its true rights as against a law
less majority, engages in lawless
ness at its peril.
Nothing bu ignorance amounting
to crime could fix in the tnind of
anybody, foreign or native born,
the idea controlling the Russian
Reds in this country that their
platantly proclaimed revolution is
possible by violence. —New York

Lloyd George a Poor Man.
Lloyd George has been more suc
cessful in shaping the course of
an “empire on which the sun never
sets" than he has in providing for
himself and dependents against the
proverbial rainy day. The English
premier is a poor man; out of of- *
fice tomorrow, lie would have to
return to his desk fn the small law
office of his brother.
England has voted great rewards
10 her heroes of both tjie army
and the navy, and has honored
them in many ways, and yet not
one of them had a more important
part in directing affairs to victory
than the head of the government
who out of office would be out of
pocket money. There seems to be
a species of ingratitude in the Brit
ish rule of failing to attach a pen
sion in a premiership. Yet there
are big things for Lloyd George to
do, even if the elections go against
him, as they some day will.
Andrew Carnegie was very fond
of the little Welshman and ex
pressed his personal admiration
while leaving him an annuity of
* 10,000 a year. There is the doubt
that he will accept this gift as
there is that he would permit his
name to be added to a pension list.
He would wqrk for his bread, and
certainly something will be found
for him to do so long as he is will
ing and able to do it. Then what?
As Lloyd George says. “Who
cares?”—Boston Post (Ind. Dem.)
The Profits of Reforming.
It its announced that the Anti-
Saloon League is going to spend
528,000.000 this year in expanding
its powers. The project appro
priates $18,500,000 for this country,
already made dry by Constitution- •
ai amendment, $7,000,000 for the
Latin American countries, and
$2,500,000 in the Far East. It is
easy for the hard hearted observ
er to notice that the largest item
of outlay is for “field secretaries.”
How often do reforms hinge on
Ihe fact that they furnish paid
places for those who want to draw
salaries! Has anybody ever made
public the price the League pays
to its gentlemanly and courteous
W. H. Anderson, who insplts the
people of the country so frequent
ly by his rude announcements and
plug-ugly defiance of people who
do not submit to his dictation?—

President Wilson’s Ailment.
According to this “authoritative”
statement, Mr. Wilson’s malady is
thrombosis, and the person or per
sons offering the information go
on to explain that the patient is
believed by Biis physicians to be
'organically sound.” The predic
tion is also ventured that "within
a month theßc will be in tljo White
House a perfectly competent work
ing President."
All good Americans will hope
(here is good warrant for this'pre
diction. The country was never
more in need of a prefectly com
petent working President than in
these agitited times; beside* there
is a general wish for Mr. Wilson’s
recovery based on sheer human
good will. That goes, perhaps,
without the saying, but in spite of
the Baltimore paper’s assertion
that its information comes from
an “authoritative source” there will
he a general hope that it is mis
taken. for thrombosis is not the
Vtrirl of a malady which justifies
the optimistic tone of the above
quoted comment. It was a throm
bus that so suddenly carried off
Col. Roosevelt, a man of much
greater constitutional vigor than
Mr. Wilson. A thropibus is a blood
clot, occurring in the veins, or
in an artery, or even in the heart.
If it is true that President Wil
son’s constitutional condition is
such as to have produced throm
bosis, they are not real friends
who urge upoq him a third-term
eandidaey. It will lie sufficient
lax upon his strength (he is in his
sixty-fourth yean to serve the re

Treaty of Versailles —Praises

By JUSTIN M’GRATH.
Universal Service Staff Correspondent.
Washington.—The Democratic Nation
al Convention of 1920 will be held in
San Francisco. The convention will
open at 12 o’clock noon. June 28.
In selecting San Francisco as the city
to entertain the next Democratic* Na
tional Convention set a new political
precedent. The National Democratic
Convention of 1920 will be the first na
tional convention of either party held
west of the Rocky Mountains.
There was a lively contest for the
honor of entertaining the convention be
tween (Chicago, Kansas City and Skn
Francisco. On the first ballot it devel
oped that San Francisco had consider
ably greater strength than either Chi
cago or Kansas City and a unanimous
decision in favor of San Francisco was
soon reached.
San Francisco made by far the most
attractive financial offer. It offered a
pledge of $125,000 to the Democratic Na
tional Committee an da further pledge
to raise $50,000 as an entertainment
fund. Its delegation demonstrated that
no city outside of New York or Chicago
could offer the convention hotel accom
modations comparable with those of
San Francisco. The delegation also
showed that. San Francisco was able to
house the convention in the finest audi
torium on the continent, the gift of the
Panama Pacific Internaffonul Expositon
to the city.
The Objection.
The objection against taking the con
vention to San Francisco, that it was
necessary to cross a desert in order to
get there, was effectively met by the
spreading information unofficially that
the oases to be found in California would
more than compensate for any hardships
that might have to be endured on the
journey.
According to members of the commit
tee, however, it was the pleas of the
women which won for San Francisco.
Miss Mary K. Foy. of California, elo
quently pleaded that the Democratic Na
tional Committee owed it to the women
of the west to send the convention to
San Fran cisco. She said i was the wom
en of the west who had won the victory
for the Democratic party in 1916. They
were the pioneers in the woman suf
frage movement, and now that, the ex
ample of the western states in giving the
franchise to women had been followed
by so many of the states it would be a
gracious compliment to them and politi
cally profitable to j.hc Democracy to re
cognize the great work that they, had
done in bringing about woman suffrage
in the United States and in aiding Dem
ocratic success.
National, Committeeman Isaac Dock
weiler, of Oalfornia, also made one of
'the most eloquent speeches of the day in
behalf of San Francisco.
Roger Sullivan, on behalf of Chicago,
pledged a fund of $75,000 for the ex
penses of the convention. Former Mayor
Harrison, of Chicaago, refered facetious
ly to the political differences which had
formerly existed between himself and ex-
Senator James Hamilton Lewis and Mr!
Sullivan, hut said they were all now
placing harmoniously gnr the selection
of Chicago.
“If you will give the convention to
Chicago,” said Mr. Sullivan, in his
place, “Chicago will take good care of
both drys and the wets.”
Clark for Kansas.
National Committeeman Goltra, of
Missouri, and Frank Fleming, chairman
of the Kansas City delegation, backed up
by forme Speaker Clark, and Third As
sistant Secretary of States Brecken
ridge Long presented the claims of Kan
sas City.
Resolutions unanimously submitted to
the Democratic National Committee and
adopted Without dissent by a rising vote
were in part as follows:
“The Democratic National Committee
rejoices with the nation at. the rapid re
turn to health and vigor of Woodrow
Wilson, the leader of Democracy, after
his physical breakdown, due largrlv to
overexertion in his effort in behalf of
world-wide pf?aco.
“We indorse his courageous and patri
ot n* endeavor to bring the nations of the
world to peace by such mutual under
standing as will enable them to settle
their differences by amicable methods
rather than by war.
“We affirm our approval of the treaty
of Versailles and we condemn as unwise
and unpatriotic the attitude of those
senators who weflild defeat its ratifica
tion. either directly, or by overwhelming
it with reservations that are intended
to. and will have the effect of, nullifying
it. *
The failure of the senate Republican
leaders to offer to permit consideration
of interpretative resrvations that will
preserve the general puprose of the trea
ty and to so permit its ratification, con
demns them to the curses of the nation
and tef the contempt of the world.”
After reciting the achievement# of the
Democratic administration in establish
ing a curreney anli banking system that
1 'freed th* currency of tha country from
domination of a few men and enabled the
nation to finance itself through the great

WILSON NOT
FOR AMERICA
SAYS LODGE
Washington.—Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts. the Republican
leader, declared in a statement last
night that he feared President Wil
son’s Jackson Day message had
made impossible the lx>pe “that
in the senate we might have come
together and ratified the treaty,"
protected by the principles set
forth in the fourteen reservations ’
“The president has made his po
sition very plain," said’the senator.
“He* rejects absolutely the reserva
tions adopted by a decisive ma
jority of the senate. He says we
must take the treaty without any
change which alters its meaning,
or leave it. He will permit inter
pretations, whatever that may
mean, expressing its undoubted
meaning, when there is hardly a
line of it which has not been ques
tioned and given many meanings.
The permission is valueless. He
stands as he has always stood, for
the treaty just as it is.
The issue is clearly drawn. The
reservations intended solely to pro
tect the United States in its sov
ereignty and independence are dis
carded by the president. The pres
ident piaceh miself squarely in be
half of internationalism against
Ainerioansm.
“1 had hoped that in the Semite
we night have come together and
ratified the treaty, protected by the
principles set forth in the fourteen
reservations. The president, 1 fear,
has made this hope impossible. If
it is impossible, then we must bear
the delay inseparable from the pres
ident’s attitude and appeal to the
people, which 1 for one shall most
cordially welcome.
New York.—The peacg treaty and
the league of nations would be rat
ified “before another sundown” if
President Wilson would again place
the pact before the senate “free
of executive dictation and pres
sure," Senator Porter McCumber,
leader of the Republican “mild
reservationists,” declared in an ad
dress last night at a dinner given
by the Women's Non-Partisan
committee for the league of na
tions.
STEEL STRIKE
IS OFFICIALLY
DECLARED ENDED
PITTSBURG, Pa.—Organizers, field
workers and Internationa)! union
heads Interested In the nation-wide
strike of steel workers which went
into effect September 22nd, were In
receipt of an order today from the
national committee calling off the
strike This action was taken by
the committee here last night.
The order declared the committee’s
decision was forced oy “ruthless mis
use of power” by the steel corpora
tion, the press, the courts, federal
troops, state police and many public
officials, In that they denied steel
workers “their rights of free speech
and free assemblage and the right
to organize.”
The order added that the union wiK
launch an immediate campaign to
further organize the workers “and
will not cease until Industrial jus
tice in the steel industry has been
achieved.’’
Pittsburg, Pa. —The steel strike was
officially called off at a meeting her*?
Thursday of the American Federation of
Labor's national committee for organizing
the iron and steel workers,
of twenty-four international unions, the
committee at the same time accepting the
resignation of William Z. Foster as sec
retary-treasurer, effective February Ist.
Foster, storm center of the strike, bit
terly attacked by its opponents, and the
alleged vehicle, it wsr claimed, by which
radicals of labor, “boring from within,”
were aiming to wrest control of the Am
erican Federation of Labor from Presi
dent Samuel Gomp*rg and the conser
vative leaders, will be succeeded as sec
