A WIZARD BREAKS LOOSE
rpilE vicious and ignmant attaW.
- directed at Governer Allen, of Kan
mis, by Dr. W. II. I.vniis, of Texas, suc
cesser te Wizard Simmons and new the I
topmost Kimkoe in the Ku Klux Klan,
will try the patience if nianv thoughtful
Americans te the breakiie; point.
Governer Allen, in In. uperview with
fKvans, said flatly thai he would dnve
the Kluv mil of Kansas and llmt he was
opposed te its methods and its system of
ergiuiizliu,' birii't'y. He didn't rage and
"lia didn't apologize Se he was promptly
insulted in n public statement issued in
the name of the Klux.
In the snme statement Evans said that
he was net in Washington te seek out
any official of the Government, but that
lie would find time te talk te any Gov
ernment official who asked for the privi
lege! Meanwhile the militia in Louis
iana is in the field te cope with masked
mobs who have been murdering and kid
napping and spreading terror ever a con cen con
siderable part of the State.
SNAKE-DOCTOR MEDICINE
DENOUNCED IN CONGRESS
The Preposition te Tax State and Munic
ipal Hunds Held Up by the Sound
Thinking Opposition
j A VOTH en the proposed constitutional
; amendment empowering Congress te
tax the bends of Stntes and their sub
divisions, which was te have been taken
in the Heuse of Representatives yester
day, has been postponed until after the
helidajs.
This probably means that it will be
postponed indefinitely, a- the necessary
two-thirds majority in favei of the
preposition cannot be secured.
There arc two strong arguments
againt it. The first one is that it dis
regards the rights of the States. The
United States is a federation of sover
eign Commonwealths. One of the
inalienable rights of sovereignty is the
control ever the financial affairs of the
sevefMgn.
Ne power outside of Pennsylvania
should have any control ever the bor
rowing power of the Commonwealth. If
Congress should be permitted te tax
Pennsylvania bends the rate of interest
en thee bends would have te be adjusted
te the Federal tax. And if Congress
should be allowed te tax bends of the
City of Philadelphia the city would be
hampered whenever it sought te borrow
money for public improvements.
Kver sine-'1 the foundation of the Gov
ernment the Stntes hae had the right
te make their own terms with the lend
ers when they wished te borrow, and the
State.- have allowed the cities te decide
for themselves whether local bends shall
be subjected te local taxation.
, The second argument is that a ta en
j a public security defeats itself. The
revenue raised by the tax has te be met
by another tax te meet the increased
rate of interest that must be paid en a
taxed -rcurity. And there is no net
gain te the community. It means, se far
as revenue is concerned, merely taking
money out of one pocket and putting it
into another.
Fer .'.en1- no one but the demagogues
engaged 111 seeking votes by denouncing
"the Merey Trust" demanded this sort
of a tax.
The bleated bondholders, as these
demagogues called the holder of public
securities, must be compelled tj d'-cerge
in the 'nteiest of the down-trodden peer.
liut, curiously enough, Secretary Mel Mel
eon ha- fallen for th.s ,-m-t cf i-nako-dector
medicine and has persuaded the
President te prescribe it because, te
escape the confiscatery surtaxes, men of
wivlth have been buying the new i-sues
i t un'.a.ied Mate anil municipal seeuri-
t es.
The Secretary doc net knew the
temper of the me-n who began urging
thi- quack remedy long before he entered
p.-.'.:c life. The Umner 0: mind which
bads politicians t demand that Slate
and iiiunieiptl bone- be taxed also leads
the same politician- tu demand that the
heavie-1 peible taxes be levied en eery
man who has managed te accumulate a
little mere wealth than hi- neighbors.
The plan which the Secretin y favors i
but ere mew in the campa.gn te tax
wealth out of existence.
The Demeciats in the Heuse of Repre
sentatives have aligned themselves in
opposition te the measure and are
denouncing it as an invasion of the
lights of the States, just as Governer
Ritchie, 1 f Maryland, condemned the
"! tend act at the conference of Gov
ernors with the President en Monday as
a usuipat en of the peuers of the States.

THE PARADOX HARVEST
fPHK collector of parade.ve has an easy
time nowadays. In th... naval field
the available haul is particularly rich.
S'niulUireuusl.' with the pas. age of the
lleil-e "leqjest." Mn tie Pp, s,,lf.nt t0
l.uuate m 'i.a'.ier.-i te bi ng about re re
ttrtct.er.s en small wareraft in Great
Rritam, France, Italy, Japan and the
United States, Admiral Sims is te be
discovered quivering with indignation and
ahum
"A.y one can spit en the Philippines
w'ae wants them!" cries this spiiited .sea
man, adding that American naval power
is leiativeiy interior te Jananese and
L'ritish and that the fiist act bv a hvnn
theucal fee in the event of a Pacific war
would be the seizure of Guam.
A little thing like the Washington
Tieaty piuvid.mg the machinery of arbi
tration for crises in the Kast and a new
basis of accord among the Pacific owners
i.-- ignored. Perhnps, in his piesent mood,
Admiral Sims would prefer the repudia
tion of that pact by France and Italy.
EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER
Its failure, of course, would sharpen the
point of hi3 observations.
Add te the American scene lookinff leokinff loekinff
glass politics ns it is practiced in France.
"The French Navy is dying," declares
the Minister of Marine, M. Halberty,
who complains that, while hi3 Govern
ment has built net n single capital ship
since 1914, Great Britain has censVructed
nineteen nnd the United States twenty
five. Yet France is recognized ns the nation
lenst resigned te the limitations of the
five-Power naval treaty, still pending
in Paris, and is clnmering for permission
te override some of its limitations.
Naval reform is opposed in the country
which is financially incnpable of execut
ing a dreadnought program and has
launched only one destroyer and one sub
marine since the opening of the World
War.
America, which is solvent, nnd Uritain,
financially the soundest nation in
Europe, have greatly increased their
navies, yet stand for the limitation prin
ciple. Sims scoffs at it all, in theory
and piactice. The Heuse calls for much
mere drastic naval cuts than these pre
vided for in the Washington treaties.
If the paradox hunter is net satisfied
with this assortment of gems he is un
worthy of his avocation.
ARE WE LAWLESS?
rpilE appearance here of Sir Basil
Thomsen, one of the most noted
sleuths of the old Scetlnnd Yard organi
zation, nnd his polite intimation thnt we
in the United States are still disposed
te be a bit tee nonchalant in the admin
istration of criminal laws, is another
reminder of our youth as n nation.
Youth is optimistic. It can afford te
err. Ne one need differ with Sir Hasil.
Ne one could fairly de se, for his is the
wisdom of maturity. He speaks with
admirable restraint. He shares none of
the delusions of the trotting Britishers
who occasionally arrive en tours of
America leaded down with tent-, firearm.-,
and portable baths.
Sir Basil doubtless has been reading
the news from Herrin and New Bruns
wick, Louisiana and Philadelphia and
Les Angeles. He may have been looking
into the coal question and he may have
had occasion te ask a bellboy about the
possibility of a teddy, as travelers often
de. In view of all this, his gentle
restraint of speech is mere than admir
able. It is charming. Think of the
things he might have said if lie had the
rasping tongue of Mr. Kipling or Mr.
Shaw.
We arc a lawless people in small
ways. A vizard of psychology might
be able te tell us why we harbor with
out obvious ciiscomfeit the conflicting
impulses that lead te acts of tolerance
quite as sensational as the acts) of vio
lence that cause foreigners te gape and
gasp. Certainly after listening te the
Kluxers nnd reading the "crime news"
of one day 01 contemplating the mere
conspicuous facts of the coal famine a
veteian of Se .tland Yard might fee! that
he was moving in a world of undisci
plined nnd rather bad-tempered chil
dren. And yet it is vveith remembering
that in the larger fields of human
thought and elfert we have always been
stubbornly en the sid,.. net only of law,
but of ju-'tice, which is even mere impoi impei
tant. We began the talk of world peace. It
was the Government of the United
States which caused a ensatien in for
eign chancelleries by insisting that
China was entitled te eact justice at
the hands of the Great Powers. Had the
Conge atrocities Inn perpettated by
American privateers intead of by the
representatives of Belgian royalty there
would have been an uproar of resent
ment fn.ni one cen-t te the ether.
The Government of the United States
as well as the people leeks with frank
disgust at the organized violence of con
temporary European diplomacy in the
Near East and elsewhere. As a people
we aie lawless. Ar I we aren't.
A GOOD TURN BY RELGU'M
"DELGIUM, which has dispensed with a
navy since its
iM'ti rce as a mod med
01 i- the less a partv
era kingdom, was
te the Washington Cenfeiinee of a vr-ar
age because of evtensive cuinmcicial
interests in the Far Fast. With Portugal
and the Nctherlane , and the signa
tories of the arms-hm.tat'en tieatii s, the
Brussels Gevernme-' paitinpated in the
framing of the two agreements accord
ing genuine national dignity te China
and designed te establish the open deer
and equnlity of opportunity in that vast
country.
While it was net doubted that Belgian
approval of the two pact- in which she
was concerned would he eventually
forthcoming, the cau-e of international
fair play is served by ratification of the
covenants by the Chamber of Deputies.
Action upon the treaties is an encourag
ing sign. It is te lie hoped that the
upper chamber will net long delay m
giving its assent.
'I he smaller nations that were repre
sented at Washington will materially
advance international comity by djcpe.
ing of their share of the unfinished busi
ness of the memorable meeting. What
Belgium has done, emphasizes the isola
tion of France and Italy, where ratifi
cation of all the tieaties lags.
Nations which clamor for American
participation in world affairs cannot
consistently afl'er I t, appear in the
unlovely roles of sulking outsider.
