W was to get together with the litis- 1
s!ans." This is the statement of Dr. Hath- ?
enau, tlie Gorman Foreign Minister, in ex
planation of the now Russo-Germuu treat),
the signing of which seems to have taken
tlio breath of the Genoa conferees.
This "getting together," the most natural
thing in the world under the circumstances,
-must have been foreseen by Ktiropean
statesmen generally; but it has been ('fleeted :
^?jy moment when none seemed to expect 1
it, under circumstances that attach to it 1
extraordinary significance. Immediately
perceiving that a new factor of far-reaching
influence had been introduced, delegates at
Genoa withheld comment, "desiring to con
fer among themselves before giving their
views us to the probable effect of the treaty.*'
Its effect, if not now clearly definable, will
Certainly be that of driving home tlio urgent,
need of a more general "getting together."
This new treaty provides for a mutual
cancellation of nil war claims, for formal
recognition of the Russian government,
"for the closest economic co-operation."
Clearly, it furnishes the basis for a thor
oughgoing partnership in the field of lnclus
?tr?rh and commercial rehabilitation, and
" *fhaV impress some Kuropean observers as
carrying the germ of a partnership 01 an

If
dation has been laid for a triumph in farm
ers' co-operation. The tobacco growers of
Virginia and the Carolinas have gone into
the new movement in genuine earnestness.
Practically nine-tenths of them have been
committed by open, formal pledge to parti
cipation for a period of flvo years; they have
signed a binding contract. This time they
are going to make co-operation a go by co
operating:. Also, they have placed the pro
ject in the hands of a most capable business
management. The undertaking will l?e
handled as if it were of supreme economic
importance, not as a half-baked scheme in
which only amateurs might lind interest. :
And out of this has sprung high respect J
in financial circles. The tobacco growers
have definite assurance that the present pro
Jed will have the fullest sympathy and
support from the banks of their three
States.
The result of these changes will be com
plete success, and. in working out the sal
vation of the farmer, co-operation is sav
ing the country.
The Mild of the Foray
more than two weeks a posse of l)e- I
partment of Justice agents, plus D?0
I "expert" accountants, have been engaged in
i a sweeping examination of the records, the 1
| l !es and the stocks of the Kureati of Kngrav
; ing and Printing. This investigation fol- |
' lowed the summary dismissal of thirty
? hiefs of the divisions in the bureau and the
director of the bureau himself in violation
of the spirit if not the letter of the civil j
service law.
When the dismissals were executed
through executive orders issued by the j
President, the men and women involved !
were not permitted to return to the bureau I
to remove their personal effects. Tho order '
had been kept a profound secret until the I
big plant hail been closed for the day and
j the officials had roiio to their homes. There- j
upon White House messengers called upon j
the chiefs individually and delivered the (
ukase of the chief executive.
The following day other officials went
i through the desks of the discharged men
and sent to eac.b such personal trinkets or
I papers as were not needed in prosecuting
j the inventory. The whole business was ex
I presshe of the distrust with which the ad
ministration regarded the men who were
turned out. Kvery circumstance of the mat
ter tended to stigmatize these people.
I No direct charges were made, but a more
subtle means was found of assailing the
integrity of Director Wilmcth and his exe
cutive staff. The country was left to as- t
s'.une that there had been irregularities of
a criminal character, perhaps wholesale ir- !
regularities. It seemed inconceivable that
action so drastic would be taken against a
group of officials against whom nothing was i
to be alleged.
Then, to add to thp popular suspicions i
which the administration has carefully en
couraged. an order went out closing the bu
reau itself while an "inventory" could be
made. More than 3.000 employes wore
laid off for ten days while the fleuths j
sleuthed for damaging evidence. During 1
this period a boatman on the Potomac River j
found a package of water-logged Treasury i
( notes. A great mystery was made of this
and the intimations were that tho paper
' money bad been stolen from the bureau and
j that the perpetrator of the deed had sought
j to destroy the evidence by throwing it into
I the river. Fp turned a janitor in the Treas
j tir.v, however, who confessed that he had
' taken the old notes, all of which had been
j canceled and rendered unlit for passage as
currency, before it was stolen.
Finally, the inventory was completed and
a report submitted. This showed no seri
< us irregularities of any sort. A few minor
cases of bad recording and misplaced ma
terials were discovered, it seems, but nothing
I was uncovered that reflected upon the
' honesty of any one of the men who had
j been relieved of his duties.
In view of this development the natural
! thing for the administration to do would
, have been to issue a statement showing
that no crime had been committed and I
vindicating the high character of the people j
involved. Thereafter, tin* President should I
have reinstated the bureau chiefs who held j
their Jobs under the civil service. Hut i
neither Mr. Harding nor any of his spokes- '
men have done anything of the son. They
have stood pat. and in doing it they have
invited the reproach of all upright men.

The Ability of Hughes
Kl'UIOTAKY Ill'tiHKS has demonstrated
mark* d ability in the conduct of this
' country's f?>r?-ikh affairs. heaving out of
question 'be tact and skill with which he
j directed, the negotiations at the arms con
i fcrence into the placid waters where great
j.i'liievetncnt was the outcome, he lias scored
a number of triumphs in the exchange of
! notes involving controversies with various
| rations in respect to settlements growing
out of the war. His presentation of the ,
1 w
American viewpoint in practically all of i
iitese ^exchanges has been supported h> a '
' soundness of rea-oning that swept aside all ;
quibbling and evasion and drove dire tly to
the heart of the debatable issues with irre

was declared to be out of the question be- i

Hughes wrote his note of protest against
the fnited States being left in the cold,
lit* addressed Italy and Japan, too, but that
was a matter of form, as they have received
their share of German payments, and con
sequently are not directly interested in the
distribution of the payment in dispute.
Thus, the surrender to the American con
tention has been complete, and that por
tion of the American press which discredited
the strength of America's right to demand
payment and reflected on tho lack of vigi
lance of the State Department to safeguard
this American interest may now eat their
crow with such relish as is possible after

For Christ inn Kilucntion
UK Presbyterian canvass in the interest
of Christian education will close in
Richmond, it is announced, with the present
week. It should not close without having
enlisted the support of every Richmotider
who values an opportunity to participate as
a positive factor in the moral and spiritual |
restoration which thoughtful men ami wo- '
men everywhere seek.
For Presbyterians of Richmond the call
is something more than a challenge to do- j
iiominational loyalty or denominational ;
pride. It is a call to share more largely. !
through the instrumentality of their great
church, in the splendid task of strengthen
ing the foundations upon which our very
tivilization rests. The world has never
more sorely needed the stabilizing, healing
influence of the church; and without Chris
tian education, without generous, sympathe
tic support of those agencies that shape and
incline the minds of young men and women,
the church will bo deprived of a vital source
of strength.
Early reports on the campaign in Rich
mond have been most heartening. The
great meeting of Presbyterians Sunday j
night was one of the most impressive events i
of its character ever held in this city. The
canvass undoubtedly will end with success.
Because of it? deep meaning to humanity,
it should succeed magnificently.

Health Talks by Dr. Brady
Hound shouhlrrM.
The considerable weight ..f head. neck, arms
and should'!-.- is supported jlV t It ?? flexible
spine in the standing and sitting postures
When the spinal erectrr muscles, which
straighten tip the spine, are weak it poorly
developed through neglect of education, the
shoulders droop forward, bending the nek
and hack with them. The deformity thus
produced is called stoop shoulders, round
shoulders', sii.nt shoulders. round hack, flat
chest, bowed back, slouch posture, or. :f you
cut pay about to per visit, kyphosis. When
the muscular defect is greater on one side,
>0 that deviation from normal posture to
one Side, the deformity Is known as lateral
i urvalur*' of tin? splno, or Kcoljnsis*. In the
earlier formation of these vicious postural
defects the deformity Is almost always remedi
able by proper exercise, but when the child's
education is sadly neglected, as in most com
mon schools even where a farcical physical
training is' perpetrated to comply with the
letter of tin. law the deformity is likely r.?
become fixed and irremediable unless by rad
ical surgical treatment.
I'r. U Tail Mi Kenzle, professor of physical
education in the I nlverslty of Pennsylvania,
in hi? excellent book on "Kxerciso in Kduca
t'on and Medicine" <w H Saunders Co.. Phil
adelphia). says that the requirement of a fixed
position In schoo] for more than a few min
utes at a time is an important cause of this*
deformity. "The child's restlessness in school."
writes Professor McKenzie, "is his only means'
nf protest, and is the oh.lect of much mis- '
applied correction by thosv school tea.-hers
w ho believe that quietness and goodness are
synonymous."
Professor McKcnr.le is a gentleman and

much old maid busines's in our schools.

"t. young girls at the very time when they

Active recess play out of doors every fore
