T. seems to be thnt they are out ride of the jurisdiction of the Public Service Corporation. They have secured n writ from Judge Linn staying the proceedings of the commission on the petition of the United Business Men's Association for nu in vestigation Into the validity of the rentals until the courts cun pass on the question of jurisdiction. 't has commonly been supposed "that the Public Service Commission had jurisdiction over every public service corporation in the state. Attorneys for joinc of the underlying companies, how ever, have denied that these companies Tendered nny public service. Perhaps It Is on that claim that they deny the Jurisdiction of the commission. But we are in a fair way to have the Whole question threshed out in the near future. Then we shall understand just what the legal status of the underlying 'companies is and what the powers of the commission are. If it shnll appear I that the' commission has not power enough, then the Legislature cun be asked to extend its authority as for as necessary. COLONEL HUNT'S ACQUITTAL THE acquittal of Colonel Hunt of charges of neglect of duty in con nection with the escape of drover Rcrg doll must be nccepted ns a fair inter pretation of evidence. Individual re sponsibility In this uiiMivory and dis creditable episode is not easy to fix. Moreover, discovery of a scapegoat will not miffice. The real blame attaches not so much to particular persons, but to a system which blundered to the point of nsi nlolty. Bureaucracy in the moss is al most Inevitably stupider than its Indi vidual components. Is there, for example, any honest 'American who. if left to his own de vires, would have given a moment's credence to the cock-and-bull ynrn about the crock of old or would have permitted n disgusting and notorious draft dodger to prosecute a mock search for It? A HOME RUN V" r-nittt It t.. InLn Ilm iliunn 1 ff for Cox iind Roosevelt, nci-onling to the chairman of the speakers' com mittee. The chnirninu evidently seeks SQiiie extru attraction to Induce people to go to the Democratic meetings. But if they wish a teal attraction, why do they not get "Ilnbe" Ruth, the Kreat home-runner? There ore people who would go miles just to sit "Babe" but nn eyelid. "Rnbe" has made a great remrd, but it is not equal to that which Cox 5s going to make. His home run is ntaged for the second of November, when he will lund bark in Dojtmi after running all over the country and will Btay there for the rest of his life. STILL AT IT JfTTILLIAM '.. FOSTER seems to have V known what he was writing about when he said In his book on "The Great Steel .Strike" that the work of organ ising the employes of the steel mills wquld be continued nnd thnt new de mands would be made on the employers within a yeur or so. The executive council of the Ameri can Federation of Labor, in session in Atlantic City, is making plans for the ur me or-anizntlon of the steel workers. They deny they are considering a "strike. " ... ul!s. " but that is natural. They will not Btrlke if they can get what they wish without stopping work. But there is no doubt whntevcr that the federation will coutlnue its efforts to unionize the utecl mills until they succeed, or until they discover thnt it Is impossible.

Neither party will have the neces sary two-thirds majority In the Senate. If thi' nrmorruts keep the senators they already have and replace the Re publicans in six stntes the most en thusiastic cliiimer does not soy they can win more than six scats from the Re publicans they will hove only llfty three votes. This is eleven less than tuo-thlrds. In the event of a Demo cratic victory it will be necessary to persuade eleven Republicans to agree with the Democratic ratification pro gram. The Republican claimers nre insisting thnt they will gnln seven senators from the Democrats while retaining all the present Republican representation of forty-nine. If the events Justify the claim the Republicans, with fifty-six votes, will still lack eight of enough to ( ratify. They must persuade that num ! ber of Democratic senators to agree wun meir program, xney won tne sup port of twenty-one Democrats for the. Lodge reservations. It should not be difficult to win a third as many for modified reservations after next March, when the Influence of Mr. Wilson has ceased to be potent. While the treaty cannot be rntifled without nn understanding between the Republicans nnd the Democrats, it is important that the Republican mnjority be increased in order to enable the Senate to carry out the party policies' in conjunction with n Republican House of Representatives and a Re publican President. Whether the Republicans will hold what they have and gain seven more seats is uncertain today, but it is morally certain that they will increase their majority. The claimers are In sisting that the Democrats will lose their senntnrs from Arizona, California, Colorado. Idaho, Kentucky, Maryland nnd South Dakota. The Democrats nre admitting the loss of South Dakota, but they deny that they will lose the other states. The situation in Arizona is doubtful. Senator Smith expects to be re-elected, but his best friends admit that his ma jority will be reduced. In California, Senator Thelnn will be opposed by n vigorous Republican. The nomination has not yet been made, but the prospects ore good for the selection of a man friendly to Senator Johnson who will be backed by the Johnson ma chine. This ought to mean his election by a good majority. Senator Thomas, of Colorado, wlshe to retire. Even the Democrats nre fear ful of defeat if any one except Thomas is the candidate. lie is popular, but he is nn old mnn who wants n rest. Even should he be renominated, the Republicans will have a good chance of winning if they name against him an alert nnd active man who forces the fighting. In Idaho, Rnrah's influence is snid to he strong enough to pull through nny good Republican ngninst Senntor Nu gent, whose popularity has disappeared. It is conceded that unless Cox comes out definitely fur the wets in his speech of ncccptnnce Kentucky will go Repub lican nnd the candidate for the Senate will carry the state along with Hard ing. The Cox strength is nlso needed in Maryland to rn-clect Senator J. W. Smith against O. E. Weller, who is said to be one of the ablest officials the state has ever had. Arizona isthe only one of the seven stntes in which the Republicans expect to make gains where the prospects ore not good. The Democrats, however, are Insist ing that the Republicans will lose In iliuua, Missouri, New York, Ohio, I'tnh. anil Wisconsin But it is as certain as uii) tiling can' be in politics that Sena tor Smont will be re-elected in t'toli. If Indiaun prefers Tom Taggart to Senator Watson it has fallen lower than the rest of the country thought posfible The successor of Senator Harding, of ... Ohio, is much more likely to be a Re publicnn thnn a Democrat, for tlie reason that Ohio is normally Repub lican on nntional issues. Harding is stronger with tlie voters than Cox. In the Inst ear when they were both can didates for office Hording polled many thousand more votes than Cox. He is confidently expected to repeat the achievement this year and to carry the whole Republican ticket with him. But of course the Democrats hove to claim Ohio or they would be admitting thnt their presidential candidate could not i-nrr his own stnte. It inov be admitted that New York' is doubtful, but it Is' certain that tlie i t, ,!, ,i fi. 'i- ' ' "' " " ' " , ""."'

Murphy can poll the votes of his followers in New York city, but It will need nn immense majority there to offset the big Repub lican mnjority which the rest of tho state will poll as a protest against dom ination by the Tammany Tiger. Missouri Is safeh- Republican. Ob servers in that state familiar with the sentiment of the people hove snid within a few months that it will lie jears be fore Missouri will go Democratic again. And Wisconsin is more likc. to be Republican than anything else. The chances ore nil against victory by the Democrats in any of the six states in which they arc insisting they will elect the senators. As the campaign progresses It will I ome incieasliigly evident that the Republicans will make considerable gains in the Senate. The country will not bu ullowed to forget the forces ,-liifh brought about the nomination of Cox. We have never had n President who was selected In advance of the con vention nt a gambling resort by a groun of the, worst type of political leaders, audi then Jqukeycd Into tho nomination. When It id generally ImdeTStood that Murphy of Tnininiiny, Nugent of New Jersey, Taggart 6f Indiana and llren nan of HHnM arc the sponsors for Cox nud linvc named him because they be lieved he would play' the game of poli tics in their way, the. self-rcspcctlng American voters are likely to record their condemnation of such things so I unmistakably that it will be a long ' time before any party nttempts again to repent the experiment. ttvimnrUv is nM tn i.n tlm rnmnll. ,n,,f ,.i,i;,i, .-!.... ,.,.,. t virion i, tin. i democracy has not even had the de- cenc.v tins vcor to lie Hypocritical, it , 1I1H i)C,. uraMU i., li surrender to the worst elements within Its orcanizntlon. i If flipre were nn oilier reason, this Is enough to Justify Kcpubllcun confidence. !

At Hrest-I.ltnvsk In 1HIS the (lermnn delegates, obsessed by conventional no tions of warfare, were decidedly phi -barrasMMl by a foe who refused either to fight or to make peace. .The Prln kipo proposals become farcical chiefly because the Soviet applied to them its principles of "morality," which treat trickery nnd evasion as perfectly. Jus tifiable when deemed favorable to the progress of communism. Even grnnting. therefore, that the Polish Government is lonth to nilmlt the magnitude of a military defeat and that its representatives dispatched to the front may lme lieen Incompletely ! accredited, there Is nothing new in the Bolshevist manemcring. Furthermore, Russian reluctance to halt the drive, now pushed beyond the Bug river, can be ascribed to tradi tional nationalist sentiments ns well ns to radical aspirations strengthened by victory. For more than a century be fore the world war the. heart of Polond, Including Warsaw, was under tyran nous Russian dominion. Moscow was not consulted when the Peace Conference restored to Independ ence an ancient nntlon, partitioned ns n result of one of the most ruthless international crimes in history. Russians- of whatever social complexion, nobles, bourgeoisie, peasants, prole tariat, aro reported as unified in the desire to regain the "lost province." The design Is obviously imperial. The Entente is hence confronted with the spectacle of a Russia which, de spite the revolution, is Indulging in the formidable nspirotions of old. Reside this revival the mod performances of the Bolshevists as social reformers" appcur nlmost us a secondary peril. The crisis is one which even diverts attention from the greed and vanity of the Polish Government in origlnnlly prosecuting an aggressive war. With Russian cavalry within thirty one miles of Warsaw, the situation now colls less for moral reflections on the speed of retribution than for the prompt cxercli-c of statesmanship and unity on the part of western Europe. AMERICANS ALL SENATOR HARDING spoke words of soberness nud truth when he told a delegation yesterday that he did not want Americans of foreign birth making their party alignments on what we mean to do for some other nation of the Old World. This country had enough of hyphen ated Americanism during the war to last us for all time. American citizens owe their only loynltv lo tne t'nitet! States. If they he of 'foreign birth they will naturally have a sentimental Interest In the coun try of their nativity, but that interest should not be allowed to complicate questions of American politics, no mat ter what the foreign country may be. This iloes not mean thnt the citizens should be uninterested in the foreign policy of the I'nlted States, but that they should have a proper reollzation of what a foreign policy is. One thing thnt it Is not is meddling in the do mestic affairs of other nations with which we have no concern. GEOGRAPHY AND DIPLOMACY SAGHALIN is n barren and frigid island off the Siberian coast, equally divided bv the treaty of Portsmouth be tween Russia and Japan. The role played by the I'nlted States, nnd es pecially by Theodore Roosevelt, in evolving thnt pact renders It unlikely that official Ignorance in this country extends so for as misconception of geo graphical features.

Out nf the limbo of the unknown he or she It Is most frequently she and sometimes even they nre wont to ap pear, nnd Into thnt limbo they depart at least when they do depart. No one knows where the summer, ghost so journs when not on visitation. His nd dress Is ns uuccrtnin ns that of other ghosts. It is doubtless some bourne from whence no traveler over returns except the summer ghost. And he prates not ot visitations to others, de spite much othbr prating, unless it be to whet your emulation to retain him n little longer. But you need not be apprehensive; the summer ghost is pos sessed of the haunting habit like other gbos'ttj. and If he likes your best room, appreciates the efforts of your cook nnd if n man (no, this qualification is unnecessary) approves the brand of your choicest cigars, he will contrive again, and once again, to be manifested to you In the flesh, pcrhups successively more In the flesh on each repeated visi tation. T HAD a letter last night," says -I-Mary, "from Cousin Judith; you lemember Cousin Judith?" "No. my dear; I have just succeeded past my fohdest expectations in forget ting Cousin Judith." replies John. "But. John, she really is n cousin; not like Tnbltha. whose uncle's first wife wns Cousin Jonah's niece. Judith Is my third 'or fourth cousin once re moved." "I only wish that she wns but once removed nnd that for once nnd nil,' soys John nngnllontly, for he has a peculiar prejudice against the cousins of Mary, who nre only less numerous thnn his own. "And what does she announce?" "Her arrival." "That's very good of her." for true to the form of summer ghosts. Cousin Judith usually just nppears, suddenly nmf unannounced, often in the deep of night; burdened with henvy luggage nnd endless packages which John has to sec to, as all the servants have long since gone to bed. WERE this "gownsman" of a piece with fiction, we might go on par ticularizing ; but generalization and ab stractions are the province of science, wherefore perhaps the sketchlncss, the shaklncss, the wobblcoslty of much of It. But this Is a specimen of what lawyers call obiter dicta, and our topic Is concerned with one of the sternest of the realities. The summer ghost, even in vour own cheerful home, dwells ever in the fringes of tragedy. In the dally seances which ho authoritatively Inflicts upon you every time he catches you or poor Mary especially poor Mary ninnn (vnn imvn nchlcvcil on elusive evasiveness which Is n credit lo vour in genuity, the summer ghost unfolds the sinuosities I an inioieniuie i"- "" which he trails like a cloud of glory, howsoever the recital thereof sobers a sunnv dav. It must be hard to bear up and be a summer ghost, even while battening on the land at some dear relative's" expense. It ought to be enough nlmost to persuade one to be come n real ghost and transfer those i..... ..tt,, worn. Hint harrowing voice, that sepulchral manner nnd eternal clanking of the. chains of misfortune nnd , mischance to some better world from I whence all this. would prove va.uao.e material for psychical research. ONCE Installed ns a member .in intimate member of your family, the summer ghost materializes day ny dav. The materialization of the dim mer ghost is really abnormal. We will take her for on example. ano comes to you thin, pnle and frngile, as every well-bred ghost should bend re main. But she rests- much on your soft ds nnd walks little on your hard roads. She tells vou that the doctor ha ordered her to drink a glass of cream before each meal. ("How much did you sa. John, that you calculate the cost of cream?" asks Mary but not In the hearing of poor Cousin Judith. l n, considering the breed of the row and the professional charges of our former, about $10 a pint."! What the doctor really did tell Cousin Judith was that she must diet or he would not be re sponsible for, the consequences; ( ousln Judith diets a great deal at the bos pltnble board of Mary and John, anil the latter remarks thnt be hopes that the responsibilities of the doctor may soon reach a climax; wne""".1" laughs and .alls him "a horrid thing. The summer ghost i real v a creature of rare discrimination, bhe or even Imlilics the best cuts, the richest pud dings, the best place in the auto wind gives her scloticn and him lumbago. She goes to tlie nwvies no matter how far or how late religiously, and to church on fine Sunday mornings when everybody wants to stay ot home. She sustains the dignity of the family and insists on speaking to every one vou know nnd do not enre to knov, evolving u peculiar Intimacy and Inviting to conic nud "visit us" precisely the peo pin whom ynu and Mary had decided upon ns "undesirable."

A state commission in Mnssaehu- setts has reported thnt profiteering is on the Increase in thnt state. The state - . ' ,' " " The only definition of profiteering we have been able to discover Is that it is the profit the other fellow gets. The world has been so busy noting the nolltlcnl aspects of the Polish-Bolshevist war that the news from Cracow that thousands of wounded soldiers, arc taxing the hospital facilities of the town nnd thnt doctors and nurses nre falling exhausted beside their operating tnbles strikes a human Interest note that it is Well to dwell upon. New York Is now considering tlie advisability of building an elevated wnter-front nvenue to encompass Man hattan Island. It will give people a chance to see the rivers nnd yet avoid Interference with street-level traffic. Commerce nnd Beauty seldom live side by side on the water-front. Ingenuity here provides a way for n man to cat Ills cake and have it. It is n little unfortunnte, that de tails of the offenses of the Chicago Communists have not been given ade quate publicity. It Is well, therefore, to stress the point thnt the men were not convicted because they were Com mutiNts; not even becnusc they advo cated the overthrow of the government ; ut because specific Instnnccs were given where they incited to violence. The Amtrlcnn people made their govcrnmmt; they may change Jt when they see fit ; they hnve even n right to tir". it over to sovletlsm or communism if they wish to do anything so foolish; but for nil chnnges there nre due proc esses of law, as befits n civilized people; and nlwnvs Americans have a right to protect themselves ngalnst the half baked Intellectuals and the unreason ing fanatics who ndvocatc change by violence.

When the Jap anese refused to work longer ns coolies nnd stnrted In business for themselves they became unpopular in California, says Congressman Isnne Siegel. The congressman, who is a member of the committee on (migration of the House of Representatives, has just re turned from tlie Pacific coast, where the committee hns been holding hearings for a month past on the Japanese question. He declares that the anti-Jnnone.se question bos been raised largely by the politicians nnd he mentions names. But ' lie adds thnt. the. problem has now I reached the noint where serious interna tional trouble is imminent unless the Immigration Inws ngalnst the Japanese nre more strictly enforced. He suggests the establishment of border patrols along the Cnnndinn nnd southern borders, nnd that the question be dealt with by treaty between the two nations. "The agitation In California has been furthered largely by Senntor Phelnn nud other men who are seeking public of fices." snid Mr. Siegel. "There are K0.000 or 83,000 Japanese in Califor nia nut of a population of ;,,xnMKH). "There Is no dispute there that they are efficient workers nnd that crime is negligible among them. The truth of the matter is that the trouble started when the Japanese would not work nny longer ns coolies, but stnrted out for themselves. In addition, there is tlie jealousy of agriculturists ngalnst George Shima, the Japanese 'Potato King,' who is producing 1.000,000 bogs of potatoes of 200 pounds each every year, nnd other farmers nre unable to compete. "At Livingston. Calif., ono of the scenes of an anti-.Tapnncse outbreak, we found that Mr. Adams, the editor of the Livingston .Tnurnnl, was able to set tle the difficulty as follows: He got the Americans to agree to sell merchandise to Japanese and the Jnpaneso to see thnt nn more of their countrymen entered the community. . "One difficulty is thnt there has been no effort to Americanize the Japanese. The only schools for Japanese nre mis sion schools. The children who do go to school nnd unhersitles make splendid progress. One of the witnesses before us wns a Japanese boy who wns n sergeant mnjor in service on the other side. "One consideration Is whether English-speaking Japanese of proved good character should not he ndmltted to citi zenship. They doclnro thnt tho renson they must stick together so much nnd npnenl to their consuls when trouble arises Is that thej can never become, citizens. "There is n terribly bitter, growing feeling ngalnst the Jnpnnese caused by the agitation. In one or two places they told us that if they don't get rid of the Japanese In one way or another theio nre trees enough left nnd their branches will be used to solve the Jnpnnese question. In the shops at Turlocks were signs saying 'No Jap anese trade wanted.' As there Is a law that barbers ennnot refuse to shave cus tomers, they hnve out signs 'Shave: Japanese, S10. JVhltes, twenty-live cents.' "In the state of Washington there Is very little agitation nnd the question is handled by the newspapers in n dig nified mnniier. In that state and in Oregon, Idaho and Colorado thero are X),000 Japanese. In those states there Is a feeling that, though the Japanese, nre a well -behaved people, nevertheless they should not be allowed to Incrense. "Representatives of the Amerlcnn Legion admitted before our committee thnt the resolution of tho Legion ngninst the Japanese had ben adopted with only ten minutes' discussion." Mr. Siegel bnld a treaty should be enneleil barring Japnnese laborers, but permitting the entrance of students, merchants, professional men and tench ers nf religion. The opposition to con .ferring cjti.enship on tho Japanese made it essential, lie said, to check the growth nf Japanese communities, which would otherwise becomo settlements of people with a dual allegiance.
