GENERAL LEONARD WOOD.
Cartoonist Darling's picture in Sat
urday's Spokesman-Review portrayed
General Wood as the Cinderelela of
this war—kept at home to scrub the
floors and refused overseas service
and promotion notwithstanding his
record of "Twenty years' of faithful
service for the U. S. A.," says the
Review.
"The belief is deep seated in the
public mind that General Wood's bad
treatment sprang from unworthy fho
tives and petty meanness in the war
department. As Darling says, the
general has a record of 20 years of
faithful service—and brilliant service.
That record is a part of the history
of this country, and Secretary Baker
can not assail it.
"General Wood's constructive testi
mony before committees of congress
is also a matter of record. It re
vealed patriotic vision and high mili
tary sagacity, manifested at a .time
when some of his official superiors
had false vision and unsound judg
ments. Secretary Baker will dot now
challenge that record.
"There is, however, in the' archives
of the war department a report from
the pen of General Wood which, we
believe, has not been given to the
public. It sets forth his; counsel,aft$r
his of the
British and French grades in the
trenches and the American forces then
in training in France. It dealth with
the needs of our armies and made
clear recommendations as' to- artillery,
aircraft, rifles, machine guns, cloth
ing, transport, hospital service, etc.
There is reason to believe that it was
prophetic; that it warned Secretary
Baker against impending mistakes
and blunders. There is further reason
to believe that Mr. Baker long ignored
these recommendations.
"If that impression is unfounded
Secretary Baker can easily justify his
treatment of General Wood by pub
lishing that report and pointing out
its defects, if it is defective. If Gen
eral Wood gave wrong counsel the
record will reveal it and the secre
tary of war can say that he had sound
reasons for refusing the general's re
quest for overseas service.
"Until the secretary of war shall
give the country good reasons for his
treatment of General Wood the con
viction will stand and deepen that the
war department shelved the general
for the very reasons that should have
impelled it to rely upon his judgment
and make the fullest use of his mili
tary talents—because he was right
when the administration was wrong,
and had vision when it was blinded.
"This has become a most proper
subject for congressional inquiry. The
friends of General Wood court such
an inquiry. Will Secretary Baker ask
for it?''

THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.
The republican publicity association
recently gave out the following state
ment from its Washington headquar
ters :
"That the next president of thé -Uni
ted States will be a republican ig in
dicated by all the signs of the times.
There rests upon the rank aiid file of
the republican party, therefore, the
responsibility of selecting the man
who shall be their nominee, and, as a
consequence, the chief executive if
the nation. We say that the response
bility rests upon the rank and file,
for under present systems of nomina
tion, the voters exercise a very, direct
influence upon the choice.. ^jn fact,
nearly a third of the states hgye pres
idential primaries.
"In discussion of the nomination of
candidates and the election of a pres
oent in 1920 it will be fortunate for
the country and the republican party
if discussion of types of men,, shall
preced discussion of individuals. It
will be well If we get away from the
theory that he is a vote getter, with
minor consideration of the sort of rec
ord he will make when elected. The
duty resting upon republicans is to
select as their nominee the man
will probably serve the nation best,
if elected, and then if their candidate
be not elected, the responsibility will
not be theirs. It will also be well
get away from the fallacious and mis
chievous notion that a candidate must
be selected because of geographical
location. It is wicked perversion
popular government to assume that
man is barred from the presidency
either because he occupies gn office
in New York or has his habitat among
the growing industries of far off Ar
zona.
"What this nation needs, first of all,
is a president who believes that the
American system of government—a
government divided in three branches,
legislative, executive and judicial, each
performng faithfully and efficiently
its own dûtes and not attempting to
dictate the acts and policies of the
others.
waste an<j efficiency result from neg
lect of administrative duties by an ex
ecutive who tries to run the legislatve
branch of the government.
''This nation needs a president that
has had broad training and experience
Experience has shown that
, „ . _
in the practical affairs of the world
irremdiable injury from the halting
and of government. We have suffered
and vacillating eccentricities of theor
sts whose chief skill is in making fine
phrases that mean anything or noth
ing assubsequent events may make
expedient. We need a president whose
associations and sympathies have
been with the propducers of the coun
try, for upon the prosperity of the
producers the future greatness of this
nation must rest. We use the word
'producers' in its broadest sense. Some
consideration, but of secondary sort,
may be given to people who class
themselves only as consumers.
"There are three classes of men
whose training and habits of thought
unfit them for the presidency. These
are school masters, professional mil
itary men, and men who have served
long on the bench. Men of these
classes have been removed from close
observation of world affairs. They are
accustomed to receiving obsequious
obedience. They have formed the
mental habits of a dictator—habits
that are accentuated rather than over
come by election to the presidency.
This country needs a servant, not a
master, in the White House. Under
our form of government, the people, !

"There are plenty of men m the re
publican party who have the quallfica
tions for successful administration cf
the office of chief executive. Full,
friendly and frank discussion Will
bring them to public attention."
The "Flu" situation in this city is
Very much better than in many other
places, according to reports from num
erous points in the northwest. Lax
quarantine methods and the disposi-1
tion to hide the real situation has been
responsible for the return of the epi
demic in all its virulence in a num
ber of towns in northern Idaho and
eastern Washington where, in some
instances, the public schools had to
be dismissed. Let Moscow profit from
the experience of these places. This
is no time for quibbling and complain
ing. It is better to keep a few peo
pie in their houses for a few days than J
for the community again to suffer
the public schools to close. Let the
public lend their full cooperation to
Ihe authorities in maintaining the
present very good conditions in Mos
cow.
FREEDOM OF THE SEAS.
The current Atlantic Monthly pub
lishes Bernard Baker's article on
freedom of the seas and America's
mercantile title marine. He calls for
a maritime league of nations,
suggests that President Wilson invite
all marine powers to send represent
atives to an international congress
which shall found a court of arbitra
tion for the interests engaged in for
eign transportation. Mr. Baker be
lieves that the service of this mari
time league should be to equalize ex
ports, imports and transports, to di
rect the placing of ships where thej
will do the moat and the best work
and to standardize speed, operation
and the general conditions in the
countries which form the league.

. I
Government statistics show that in
1914 the United States absorbed 1,- I
200,000 immigrants, and for ten years |
previous to 1914 we absorbed over a I
million a year. During the four years I
of the world war our foreign Immigra
tion was negligible compared to 1914
and the ten years previous. In view j
these statistical facts the returning
armies should not disturb labor con
ditlons as much as many imagine. In H
fact, when 'business of the country
again reaches a normal basis, which j H
qnder the circumstances cannot long B
delayed .there Is likely to be a H
shortage instead of surplus of labor. B
Now is the time to do some real
thinking. If the public utilities be
come government property who is go
ing to pay the extra taxes? Of course
' there will be extra taxes. First,
taxes these same utilities previously
paid. Government property pays
taxes. Second, the larger army
public officials will make more
pense which will necessitate more
taxes. Think, and think again:
SAYS BOLSHEVISM
DUTCH MINISTER TO PETRO
GRAD TELLS WHAT THIS HOR
RIBLE DOCTRINE IS
On his way back to Holland from
Russia, Dr. Oudendijk, the Dutch min
ister in Petrograd, was interviewed
| by the London Times and made an
impassioned plea for allied interven
tion as a duty to civilization:
"I wish to give a solemn warning
to the working classes of all nations.
Bolshevism, I say without exaggera
tion, is the end of civilization. I have
known Russia intimately for twepty
years and never have the working
classes of Russia suffered as they are
at the present moment. I have never
seen or dreamed of the possibility of
such corruption, tyranny, and the ab
sence of all semblance of freedom as
there are in Russia at the present
moment.
"Translated into practise, the five
points of Bolshevism really come to
this: (1) High wages; (2) don't work;
(3) take other people's property; (4)
no punishment; (5) no taxation; and
I suppose there will always be a cer
tain number of people who will adopt
a program which in practise amounts
to this. That is why, having myself
seen the disastrous effects of this
of society ' 1 take
the first opportunity on my arrival
in England to warn the public. The
bulk of the workmen in Russia are
today far and away worse off than
they ever have been, and the state of
['unemployment is
simply terrible.
When I left Petrograd the situation
was one of utter starvation, and most
people hardly knew how they would
exist through the following day. The
future to me seems hopeless. One
thing is certain, that, left as she now
is, Russia will be in a state of utter
and complete ruin,
shevism rules the nation has been
beaten» to a pulp, and is utterly help
less."
