WHY NOT TWIN LEAGUES?
A great many people believe that
one result of the war should be the
organization of a league of -nations
to enforce peace. Others object to
having the United States join such a
league on the grounds that it would
force this nation to take part in all
the disputes between European pow
ers and would entail the abandon
ment of the Monroe doctrine by giv
ing to European powers a voice in
the settlement of disputes between
the nations of this continent.
g Nearly everyone, except the advo
cates of militarism and the believers
it the discredited theory that prepar
edness is the best preventative of
*&r, agree that some plan must be
forked out to prepare for the set
tlement of future international dis
putes by arbitration, instead of by
force *t arms, and that in this plan
Provision must be made for the en
forcement of the findings of the court
of arbitration. On the other hand
the arguments that the United States
°ught not to become a party to Euro
pean disputes nor to allow the Euro
pean powers to interfere in tho do
mestic troubles of the western heml
•Phere have merit and are worthy of
ireful consideration.
Why could not the great result
•ought be attained and the weighti
** objections eliminated by the or
ganization of two leagues of nations
to enforce peace, ono of the eastern
*°<1 one in the western hemisphere,
w 'th a definite agreement .between
toem that both should discourage
War by prohibiting preparation for
*ar on the part of any nation? This
Wan would not embroil the United
Btotes in the quarrels of Europe, nor
*lye the European powers a voice in
toe settlement of disputes between
to* countries of the western hemi
•Phre.
It is very evident that the surest
*a 7 of preventing war is by eiimin
m the militaristic spirit, by en
gaging nations, like Individuals,
.'••ettle their disputes In court, in
*to»d of with fists, knives or guns. It
*°uld be folly for a lot of quarrel-
Wr ~~
some men to form an organization to
maintain peace, if one or all of them
insisted that it would be necessary to
be constantly armed to the teeth in
order to enforce the rules of the or
ganization. It would be equally ri
diculous to form such an organiza
tion if each individual retained the
right to withdraw whenever he be
came dissatisfied with its policy. Un
less the nations of the world are
ready to reduce their military and
naval establishments to the minimum
point necessary to maintain law and
order within their own boundaries, to
make preparation for waging war a
difficult and expensive task, the or
ganization of a league-to enforce
peace among them would be a farce.
The world wants permanent peace
and if that good can be atained with
less friction and surer prospects of
success by the formation . of two
leagues, one to enforce peace in the
eastern hemisphere and one in the
western," the twin leagues should be
organized instead of one.

WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT A CITY?
The city of Spokane recently ad
vertised and held a big three days
peace celebration. Thousands of
people were induced to come in from
the surrounding towns and country
to mingle in the great throngs, pack
the hotels, stores and theatres and,
incidentally, leave behind them a
considerable amount of cash. At the
time the Spanish Influenza epidemic
was still so prevalent in Spokane and
other parts of the Inland Empire as
to be a serious menace to health and
life. . All the doctors had given
warning that crowds are the surest
disseminators of the disease, but
with a full knowledge of the risk,
the business men of Spokane in their
desire to reap a harvest of sheckles,
did not hesitate to encourage the as
sembling of crowds, not for a few
minutes in the open air, but for three
days in rooms and stores and lobbies
and dance halls.
Now the almost inevitable result
has followed. The epidemic which
was subsiding has burst out again
with renewed vigor, not only in Spo
kane but in most of the communi
ties represented at the peace celebra
tion, and is exacting its heavy toll
of death and suffering and sorrow.
The ban has been clapped on again,
so modified as to interfere as little
as possible with the -holiday trade of
the Spokane money chasers, who
seem to value business more highly
than health and profits more highly
than lives. All of which prompts the
Inquiry:
What shall it profit a city to reap
a harvest of dollars and sow a crop
of disease and death?

BONE DRY
The state of "Washington adminis
tered the final knock out punch to
the liquor traffic yesterday when
Governor Lister proclaimed that the
bono dry law had been ratified -Wy
th* people at the recent election.
This measure, If vigorously en
forced, wi'l make this state dry In
fact as well us in theory. If a man
is determined to sell or consume In
toxicating liquor he had better move
on to soma more congenial clime,
for there is no longer any place for
him in this commonwealth, unless he
Is looking for room and board In a
Jail.
The fact that the people ratified
this drastic anti-liquor law by a vote
or nearly two to one proves that they
are so well satisfied with the results
of near-prohibition that they want to
make it total. The next step will be
to eliminate all public officials who
do not enter heart and soul into the
enforcement of the law. The voters
are In no mood to elect men who will
not vigorously use this effective
weapon against bootleggers and
moonshiners, without fear or favor.
If there is a wet spot in the state, it
will be proof that the public officials
are not doing their duty. A drunken
man will be the signal for every
peace officer to get busy and ferret
out the criminal who supplied the
firewater. If any of them tempor
ize or lay down on the job, It will be
the signal to the people that a change
of officials is necessary.
It was Black Thursday for the
druggists who have been making a
few dollars by peddling liquor and
for the doctors who have been issu
ing fake prescript but. It was a
joyous day for the people who love
their homes ami children and know
by observation and experience that
vice and degradation thrive in wet
communities, while thrift, virtue and
happiness flourish in dry territory,
the.dryer the hotter,
Let us give thanks that the long
light has ended in a decisive victory
and that the great state of Washing
ton is no longer semi-arid, hut. bone
dry.

IOU SHAME! PULLMAN!
Unable to gel a response from the
automobile owners of Pullman to the
"Salute and Hide" proposal, members
of tin- college S. A. T. C. Tuesday
evening took tin- matter into their
own hands and bedecked all the au
tomobiles standing on the streets
with the signs, unbeknown to the
owners. The windows of vacant
rooms on Main street were placarded
with such pertinent phrases as
"Wake up, Pullman," "Whore's your
patriotism?" "You owe it to the
hoys," and others equally as appli
cable. Under theso legends were
pasted copies of the "Salute and
Ride" signs, with an appeal to the
auto owners to secure the signs and
help tjreak the monotony of military
life for the boys of the S. A. T. C.
No more stinging rebuke could
have been meted out to the car own
ers of Pullman, but the circum
stances fully warranted the action
taken by the soldiers. The matter
of giving the boys a ride when an
empty seat was available was first
proposed by Dr. E. A. Archer before
the chamber of commerce, several
months ago. At that time The Her
ald offered to provide the signs free
of charge to all applicants, but none
came.
Later the training detachments
grew Into the S. A. T. C. with its
1200 soldier-students. Still there
was no evidence of an inclination on
the part of the Pullman automobil
ists to follow the example of hun
dreds of other communities, honored
with the presence of soldiers, and
help tho boys while away their leis
ure hours, though the demand was
much more imperative than before.
As a court of last resort the S. A.
T. C. newspaper, "Pull Men," took up
the cudgels In behalf of the soldiers
and had a large quantity of the signs
printed. Wide publicity was given
to the matter and the automobile
owners were asked to call for the
signs and help the boys dispel home
sickness and restlessness. Two pa
triotic citizens asked for signs. Oth
er than these there was absolutely no
response, and finally the soldiers, in
a spirit of rebuke, placed the signs
on the machines themselves.
Pullman passed up one grand op
portunity to minister to the pleasure
of her 1200 soldiers, whose stay here
perchance "held less joy for want of
human sympathy." This lack of In
terest will not soon be forgotten by
the soldiers, whe will scatter within
the next week to r.ll parts of the
state, and the finger of criticism may
he pointed to the auto owners of
Pullman from many directions.
'Wake up, Pullman! Where's
your patriotism?"
The food administration has re
moved all restrictions on the uso of
sugar, but the price will keep down
any extravagant consumption.
We have conserved food to defeat
our enemies as a matter of necessity,
we should conserve food to feed our
frlende as a matter of choice.
The administration lias announced
that the guaranteed price of $2.26
per bushel. Chicago basis, for th.'
1919 wheat t rop, will stand, oven it
the Lever act under which the price
was fixed, becomes Inoperative
through the conclusion of peace.
This is but Justice to the farmer*,
who made their plans with .-, view of
producing a bumper supply of wheal
to carry an the war.
When it comet to rooting at the
football games the S. a. T. C. boys
made up In "pep" what they lacked
in practice. i
m.uu. v j . -»
it sounds a little paradoxical to
talk about electing a dry candidate
with stickers.
When the boys come home a good
many politician! will he sent home.
