Whnt Is this our excellent neighbor tho Timet, In tho low tcmncraturo ot Hb affection ana enthuslnsm for the .candltlnto of Messrs. Mcnruv, Tao oabt find Nuoiot, has to say of Ben iitor nAitmxa? "PIHnc tip uncertain ties" Is its criticism of Uio Itcpubllcnn candidate. It remarks: "Ha Jim no 'ipeclflo' plan. He merely- a ski ths voter to trust him ' to evolve one after ha In elected, And whenever lie undertakes to ulvo a vnguo description of tlio kind of Internntlonal nsaoclatlon trlileh he -favoro he describes It ns something almost IndlitlnsulvhAblA from the I.eaguo ot Nttlons.

Senator If Anoma asks the country to be food enonsh and credulous enough to sign hint a'blank check." Part of this would bo n perfect de scription of tho attltudo of President Wilson, two years ngo and thereafter, wheu without any specific plan for an International association ho asked tho country to filvo 7i(t n blank check of authority. He nsked It llrst throuRh Senator Jut IIau Lkwis's carlo blnncho rcsplutlon of ndvanco np proval of whatorcr tho President might, do, or pledgo tho country to, In mo tnnmng or peace. That unprcce Uonttkl request falling to nppeal to tho Americanism of tho .Senate, Pros Idout Wilson again asked for n blnnk check In his application to tho voters of tho United States Just beforo tho Congress elections of 1018. Tlint re quest nlso was refused with nn em phasis of repudiation amounting to scorn. Yet ho pocketed both refusals and went abroad and presented him self beforo tho allied and associated nations, telling them Unit ho spotco with notional authority, that ho planned according to tlellulto Inslruo tlons from his Government and peo. pic, and that ho Insisted on his League of Nations and his Covenant nnd his Artlclo because ho had rccolved from America n mandate which bo dared not disobey. To- dwell no longer than Is neces sary on this unpleasant incident of tho Impersonation of non-existent nu thorlty, tho blank check which Prcsl dent Wilson demanded and did not Kct was a blank: check payable only to himself. That Is what distinguishes It from tho blank check our neighbor repre sents Senator nAnnmu as soliciting from n "credulous" country. Tho dls tlnctton Is vital.. If Senator Haiidixo Is at present "without n spoclflc pro gramino about an association of nn tlons," as ho frankly doclarod at Bal tlmore, It Is becauso ho Intends that tho values shall bo filled In not by nutocrattc and Individual solf-tlctor- mlnntlon, ns In tho other case, but by tho best wisdom of his party through Us chosen, representatives and In tho regular manner of constitutional pro cedure. Ho has assured the country over and over again that.ln thq future ron slderntlon of International association of any sort thero sliall bo neither nn -other attempt at ono man government nor another proposal that shall sur render or trim-down our national sov ereignty. Wo nro confident that- Sen ator Hardixo's specific declarations in this regard nro believed by every body, Including our neighbor tho Times: This second "blank check" will carry1 no forged Indorsement. White Elephants. , If wo may trust the roports which como from Bangkok, Us capital city; Slam Is losing some ot Us reverence for its sacred white elephants. One of theso pampered beasts was always represented In a rod field upon tho national banner, and tho. oldest and most coveted honor that Slam could bestow was tho Most Exalted Order of tho White fclephanr. Tho nrdor still remains as n survival of pld times, but tho desire to substitute something for the whlto elephant on the Slamcso national flag has gono so far as eliminate this undent em blem from some qt the many flags of the little nation. A correspondent of n London pupcr 10 writes of theso sacrod boasts fli"omo what fallen from their old glory when Knsterrt Icings fought war for tholr possession," A view of tho whlto .clo plmnt of Iho court ot 81am Is inon often granted to tho ttrnnger than In tho pant.

At n word from his chief attendant! tho correspondent says, ho eniorged from his ennui nnd "gave n pathetic iuilifo with his trunk for our greet Ing, and In rospouso to another trim of gmss bent his knees and tho llttlo show was over," The 'religious' cult which bclloved that tho whlto viepliant Is ono of tho Incarnations iiHsuiiied by tho Iliiddlm beforo lio appeared In tho form of man has for years 'been losing ndhcr cuts, This Is assigned ns u reason for, tho growing lack of revorenco for tho sacred beast. Hut another reason may bn found In tho changing nttl tuilo of tho Blamcfo, A whlto die pliant Is a burden and, with Jits nu morons rollniio of priests nnd nttoud ante, a honvy nxpcuiio.

Go to It and keep at It 1 Fact and Fancy About Etirono's Credit. Rating. Delegates nt tho Urusscl's financial conferenco of tho League of Notions nro reported to havo been nstonished when Roland W. Dovdkn, tho Wash ington Administration's spokesman, stated In his speech on Tuesday that Amorlca did not consider Europo n good business risk for reasons cited jn tho sermon preached some months ngo to tho former belligerents by tUitTEn Glass, then Secretory of tho Treas ury. Perhaps tho delegates had been making their deductions from fact rather than from theory lit their en dooVora to discover America's true opinion about Europo. If so .they had plenty of reason to bo surprised ot Mr. Botdkn'b remarks. In tho last few months American In vestors havo oversubscribed n $30, 000,000 Belgian loan, a $100,000,000 French loan, and now an offering of $20,000,000 Norwegian bonds Is snapped up in thrco hours with four times, the amount of subscriptions re quired. Besides tboeo thero bavo been loans to Denmark and Poland as well as extensive private commercial credits to other European countries. Ono of the outstanding features elnco the nrmlstlco has been tho marvellous re covery by England, without external aid. ma her rorenanuou measures which have resulted In economic re suscitation on tho Continent. If anything has been proved In tho lasftwolvo months It Is that Secretary Glass aud tho Washington Adminis tration wcro entirely mistaken In be lieving that Europe, ns a whole, was a fallaro commercially and tlmt tho Only tnathod ot assisting it was to clamp on a mddo to order system of Idealistic salvation. To contlnuo uttorlng such stuff In tho faco of In controvertible proof to tho contrary la sheer folly. Mr. Borons himself may not bellovo all ho is quoted as saying. Certainly American bankers, Ameri can Investors nnd American traders do not' believe It. ' Tho Optimistic Side of the Italian , Settlement. As anticipated bf observers ac quainted with tho temper of Italian labor and tho conditions In Italian Industry, the industrial flaroup in volving tho sclzuro by the. workera ot plnntsja Genoa and Turin has sub sided without uprooting tho economic foundations of tho country.

They could turn uowliero, riot even among their own fellows, to buy things needed, without monoy; Thus tho main prop of soviet Ism was found to bo planted In quicksand, But both capital nnd labor havo gained como advantages and learned somo lessons from tho experiment Thoro was Just enough compromlso In tho settlement to Instil a wholesome mutual respect nnd to mako both sides rcallzo that neither could inuko tin limited demands on tlio othor without Injury ta all concerned, This toneon should go far to eliminate strikes and lockouts nnd promote arbitration In placo of direct action. In a world conspicuously shy of supermen It In no morn than full to commend tho workers for their wlf restraint In refraining from tlolu dainngu to tho plants and for their good senso lit realizing that their hopes of u victory for extrnmo null callsm could not bo fulfilled. Tho Gov pmmciit appears to havo comported Itself well in n situation fraught with dangerous possibilities, It now ro mains for tho employers to demon strate their adaptability to tho now circumstances, to tako up tho work of reconstruct Ion whoro It ceased a month ngo and restart tho wheels of produc tive Industry.

Tho confosslon ot Pitcher Cicottu Of tho Chicago American Icaguo team Is ns conclu slvo as It Is dramatic. Even tho roadcr to whom dully baseball news Is not necessary palm rin m must be startled by tho boldness of" tho conplracy and tho careful execution of Us purpose. Hero was crime committed in tho sight ot 30,000 watchers. To pitch a straight bull Instead of a carved one, to dolay u fraction' of n second In Adding, to throw a fow feef away from n base manthat was all Cicotte jiad to do to Joso a game. By his own confession Cicotti: ro eolved $10,000 of tho $100,000 that wits paid to eight Whlto Sox players by gamblers who nro reported to havo hiado $2,000,000 by betting on Clu clnuntl. For $10,000 ho cheated the honest players of his team out of tholr chauco for prize monoy, ho betrayed nnd humiliated tho employer who had been paying him $10,000 a year, he disappointed ft pity wl)pso, baseball following had mado his own big sal ary possible, and ho put upon profes slonal baseball a cloud of suspicion the last trace of which may bo slow to disappear. Ho was a cheap man. Tho way seems clear to punish tho men responsible for tho corruption ot tho game. This will mean tho con vlctlon nnd Imprisonment of thoso who bribed tho players. For so far as tho futuro Is concerned It would do rclO' tlvcly llttlo good lo imprison or oxllo only tho brlbod players. Tho men who made tho rottenness possible wcro tho gamblers.

Cicottb was a baseball hero, n man who received for n fow hours work each week In summer n salary larger than somo bank prcsl dents get. Now thoro Is not n boy In tho streets who would recognize him except to jeor, 'mo 910,000 n year Is diminished to whetover wage a laborer can earn. Tho only good sldo qf the scandal Is that It Is open scandal ; that tho public Is Indignant; that tho baseball moguls some of whom a few days ago wero sneering at "muckrakers" nnd crying "Provo it I" aro now hum bly conscious of tho need of reform ; und that there will probably bo no ground for rumors of "fixing" at tho world series games this year.

Tho Greek Parliament was dls solved Monday nftor 11 two weeks hoh nlon nnd 11 royal decree has Just been Issued fixing as tho tlmo for tho next general elections tho second wrick 11 November. Tho rtwiilt of these elections will ho watched keenly out sldo of Iho Hellenic kingdom, for the quextJon ot tho return of tho deposed King Constantino or of dm milixtl tutlon of his olilo.it sou, Prince GKonnu, for tho present King Xirx andko and the consequent retirement of Orecro's nblo Premier, Ybnizklob, will bo tho Important Issuo, Hlnco his deposition by tho Allies In Juno, 1017, Co-n'stantink with his wife, Soi'iiiA, and his eldest son has boen In cxllo In Switzerland. IIo has been the ccntro of an ncllvo propa gantla dlroctcd from Qenova nnd Bcr tin for his restoration to power. Its principal alms have been ta cnuso revorsnl of public opinion In allied nations of Europo regarding tho do posed King's courso In the war and to obtain tho support of former Greek subjects, especially thoso In America. Athens was considered practically I in pregnablo to theso propagandists, hut their agents, mainly former army ofll cers nnd civil olllclals under Con htantinb, havo been carrying" on an active campaign In mora remote dls- trlcTs of Greece. Tho propaganda has been directed nlso against Vkxizclos; 't was he who oxposed Constantjnk's diipllcltr and his covert support of tho Control Empires during tho war, nnd, who wna strongly Instruments In forcing his departure from Greece. Tho deposed King mildly expressed his opinion of 1110 1 rcmicr h policy recently by say Ing that It was "too Individualistic' nnd ho declared that for this reason A enizIium "had been unnblo to main' tain In Grccco tho amity necessary to her growth and prestige.'.' Many of tho monarchists, however, havo becu outspoken In tbclr dcslro to get rid of Venizi:i.oh, and tho recent attack upon tho Prcmlor In Paris, as well as n previous- attempt upon his llfo which was defeated by Italian olllclals, wns mhdo by army officers who served under Constastike. In u recent statement Issued from Lucerne, Switzerland, Constantine says: "r wnlt hero with resignation for tho day when by tho will of my pcoplo nnd tho forco of tradition I shall resutno tho throno which I un deservedly lost." But thero has been so far no 'manifestation of a great doslro nmong his peoplo for his return. Thero havo ticcn, howovcr, many evi dences of public loyalty nnd faith In Vsnizelos. Ono of theso was tho en- thustastlo reception accorded him upon his return to Greoco after his escape from assassination; another tho .action of tho Parliament Just dis solved In ordering tho orcctlom In tho National Asfcmbly hall of a column In his honor, expressing "tho scntlmonts of Hellenism In Its entirety, and tho gratitude-of tho1 country, of which he Is tho benefactor nnd savior." Thoro Is Ju this trlbuto nn ovldcnco of tho confidence of the notion In tbo present Government, Venizelos has himself shown his faith In Us solidity by tho .fact that In the past year ho has spent not moro than thirty days In Greece. But, oven ir no. siiould bo defeated at tho election through an unex pected turn In Greek politics, thero I? no reason to bellovo that Constan tine or Prlnco Gkorok would return to thd royal palaco nt Athens. Greece has n good memory and Is not likely to forget tho unfortunate part i?ho was forced to play In tlio war through tho intrigues of her deposed ruler.
