This is to be the explanation of the delay in making public announcement of the names of the commissioners, which J he recent White House statement said would ho made "presently." Meanwhile attention Is being given to I the selection of secretaries and attacheof the American mission and to the oollertion of the large quantity of historical and legal data which will be .1?i hm... ivn-nllel to the n'i|uinti. mi i.> approaching conference probably is to he found in the famous conference of Vienna in 1SH. which gathered to rearrange the map of Kurope after Napoleon's downfall. Accordingly study is being given to the preliminaries leudiiu; up to that conference and to its detailed pro-c ??,i?\~s as far as these have been preserved. The two Hague conferences of 1S97 and 1907 also developed methods of procedure and a | wealth of subjects regarding the ideal relationship of the community of states which would be of assistance in arranging the program of proceedings of Versailles. For their special guidance the American commissioners will have at hand a vast amount of information recording the smaller nationalities of Kurope; the arbitrary divisions which have boon made on that continent in defiance of racial ties and natural affiliations for purely political reasons, and the largest conceptions) of the present desires of the oppressed races, all representing the results of close study by some of America's most eminent university men. directed by Colonel House. The American commissioners in addition will have the benefit of exceedingly detailed and definite instructions of every conceivable point. These instructions are believed to bo in preparation now by J state officials. ? Demobilization of the American expeditionary forces, already In progress with the movement homeward of sick and wounded, will be hastened by the return at an early date of eight divisions of National Guard and National army troops, eight regiments of coast artillery and two brigades of Held artillery.

If it was not the spirit of Christianity that 0 won this great war, then it would he r tlifliotilf to define the really determln- a ing factor. Christianity has not fail- q eil anil cannot fail, however It may he s with many professors of Christianity. I There are those who have a rave f fears as to whether the rights surren- h dered by the American people for the t prosecution of the war could ever be \ recovered. There is no positive evi- jj deuce that anybody desires to continue t in the exercise of those surrendered t rights; but it is very well for the Anier- t iean people to be on their guard. It \ does not belong to the human nature s of any Individual or set of individuals f to freely turn b?ek any power that they may have acquired by their own aggression or by delegation, and it is t well for every individual citizen to be a on his guard lest he lose liberties that j were formerly his. ii ? e e If that man Mooney threw that r bomb, he ought to be hanged. If I'res- i; ident Wilson did not believe that Moo- s ne.v was innocent, or that at least there t was very grave doubt about his guilt. \ he h.ol no right to suggest clemency, c If Mooney is to be punished regardless e of his guilt, simply because he was a convicted according to law, then what a is to become of the liberty of Individ- n uals when attacked by unscrupulous a sharpers in the law? There Is no ques- I tion of the fact that somebody ought d to be punished In this case; but it is r not clear that it ought to be Mooney. f And if Mooney is punished unjustly the ii country Is going to suffer more than if t he had been turned loose. c ? s We believe in absolute freedom of d the press, subject to reasonable and v Just reparation for injuries wrongfully n Inflicted upon Individuals. The press t should be liable for intentional mis- n representation of whatever nature, r The press should be held accountable a for any act that an Individual would be h held accountable for. Hut we do not p believe in any American, press censor- c ship, either direct or indirect except by g the American people. We believe that i! the American people can be trusted v with anything; but wc do not believe p any living man is worthy of trust until g after he has been tested. At any rate o we would rather risk our chances of d :.nit Justice with the people than p with any individual. This is why wo f so gn atly doubt the wisdom of allow- C ing even the slightest measure of press s censorship. No individual is big c enough to be trusted with the trc- I mendous power involved. Unless the t press is free the public cannot be free- e ? . s From the beginning there were a b great many people who believed that 'i the charges against Senator LaFollette ^ on account of his alleged disloyal utterances at St. Paul last fall were political buncombe, and the belief of few. if any of them has been changed. La- t Follette was rightfully considered a f very strong presidential possibility, to p begin with- Then In connection with 8 the war revenue bill hejncurred the t ill-will of a large and powerful faction b in this country by seeking to make big business bear the burden of the war in e proportion to corporations and Indi- t viduals of smaller means. By many p this was considered unpatriotic. It t was shown up long ago that he did not say the things at St. Paul that Govern- t or Rurnquist ana otner pomicai cnc- r mies charged him with saying, and of course those who were pushing the case did not dare bring it to a final issue. As to who has made most out of c the entire proceedings will he shown by further developments. t . ? . v Capitalistic classes of Germany, ac- n cording to information of British news- ii papers^ are already engaged in carry- s ing out plans to "pass the buck." as e to war indemnities and other expenses e to the German poor by transferring t< their wealth to neutral countries. The game, one of the commonest known, is k to get everything they can in the way tl of gold and securities beyond reach of o the tax collectors, who will soon be t< busy In Germany. It is hardly to be S supposed, however, that such a thing is C going to be tolerated by the Allies. The o poor people of Germany had nothing > do with the making of this war; ley have borne the burden of it in laor, suffering and blood- The Allies re entitled to-recompense for all tl.< easure they have lost by destruction nd otherwise, and the German and ustrlan people must make good. But le mere matter of getting the money ack is not the only consideration. The Hies owe it to themselves In right and jstice to make the wealth and intellience of Germany pay every cent of hese costs. Compulsory military service is now mong the questions to be settled in he near future. We confess to havtng ntertained strong feelings in that diection at one time; but we do not feel 0 strongly that way now. We feel hat developments have shown that nlversal compulsory military service 1 unnecessary. What might have hapened had we been forced Into the war ,-ithout the experience, co-operation nd assistance of England and France, here is no telling. It is quite possible hat we would have been defeated beore we could have commenced to get eady. But as it was we raised a nighty army and put it across the seas nd in little more than a year, during ,'hlch man for man and against heavy dds our troops proved themselves suerior to what were universally coneded to be the best troops In the rorld. We think It is going to be deIrable to maintain a much larger reglar army establishment than we have e.en maintaining; but we do not think i? tmincr in he nnpowarv or desirable u make soldiers of all of our young men. At the same time, however, we re not going to deny the fact that imerica has been benefitted tremendusly through the physical developlent of her young men in connection ,'ith military training. The end of the war finds the United tates government the owner of more han one hundred thousand big automobile trucks and many thousands of irplanes- Just what is to be done dth these machines, which probably /ould not have been produced in such haracter and quality for many years o come, probably, except for the war, t is impossible to foresee just at this moment, but it is pretty safe to assume hat they will not remain idle. During he past year the government has been xperimenting more or less extensively rith postal truck lines of from 100 to oo miles?fifty or a hundred miles out, nd of course the same distance back, n parts of New York state and in ennsylvania, many of these lines have icen showing a profit of 100 per cent r more in the carrying of packages, lotwithstandlng that carrying charges re at the rate of about $20 per ton. 'he experience so far has been but a hort time in developing enough busiicss to ensure profitable muintainance. t is said that General Pershing now ias more than 16,000 more or less ladly used up trucks and that all of hese can be repaired and put into serice with but small expense. There s reason to anticipate that postal rucks will soon be busy In all parts of he country. The probable practical ise of airplanes does not seem so ob.1 V... ...ill peedy developments in this direction s reasonably certain. There has been a growing impatience hrougbout the world for a long time gainst what Is described as "secret dl lomacy." This, generally speaking, nvolves the luxury enjoyed by crownd heads and the delegated high repesentatives of republican governments n entering into agreements and conpiracies with each other against heir neighbors, etc. It was George Vashington who warned his fellowountrymen against secret diplomacy, specially such as involved entangling lliunces and tho like. It is known of II men now that before this war, Germany, Austria and Italy had secret greements, and it is known also that Jngland, France and Russia had unerstandtngs intended to promote their espcctive interests. As to how far the Tnlted States may have been Involved a secret agreements Is not known; but here is reason to believe that this ountry has more than one undertandlng of one kind and another with ifferent foreign governments about rhich understandings the people are lot permitted to know. To the layman here appears to be no reason why the ieacc conference, soon to meet, should lot be as public as the proceedings of national political convention; but iow it is going to be does not yet apiear. It has been suggested that if the onference Is secret, Germany stands a ;ood chance to get the better of it, and f It is open the Bolsheviki element rill have the opportunity to spread Its iropaganda over the world, with daner to existing institutions. So far as ur ideas go. we are opposed to secret liplomacy. We would rather see the iroceedings of that peace conference ree and open. We are not afraid of iermany or anybody else In open seslon. and so far as Bolsheviklsm is oncerncd, we are not afraid of that, n other words we believe that the best hing for the people is the truth, and ven though existing institutions hould be toppled over right and left >y me iruin, n wiu uc iui mc uwi. mi institution that cannot face the truth ins no right to exist anyway. Successful Cotton Holding. While we are in full sympathy with he purpose of the recent cotton conerence in Columbia, as we have been rt sympathy with the purpose of all imilar conferences, we have never had he utmost confidence in the results to e accomplished by such means. The advice given out by this confernce is good, as good as advice can be; iut so far as that is concerned there i no commodity that is more common han good advice. To a successful holding movement here are certain absolutely essential equlsites: 1st. Warehouse facilities. 2d. Cheap storage. 3d. Financing of warehouse reel pts. Up to the time of the establishing of he state warehouse system, the cotton warehouse business was a private molopoly in the hands of a few enterprisng individuals in towns and cities who ought primarily their own profit rathr than the profit of the cotton owner, xcept in so far as the profit of the coton owner contributed to their profit. About the only warehouses that we now of that issued warehouse receipts hat had a collateral banking value utside of the town In which the cot?n was stored, were those of the tandard Warehouse of Columbia, and andler of Atlanta, and possibly a few thers. The Insurance companies, with a view to concentrating the business and playing into the hands of other Interests generally, had established rates that made country rates prohibitive. It will be remembered that Senator McLaurin broke up this system, for the time being at least, by securing the organization of special insurance companies in New York and encouraging the storing of cotton in the country. Then through an arrangement with the Guarantee Trust company and the National City bank of New York, he was able to put it within the reach of any poor one-horse farmer to get money at 6 per centAll this was along thorough-going business lines and it was in the interest of the farmer Instead of "big business" which had previously established a system by which the farmer was being systematically deprived of much of the proceeds of his labor for the benefit of people who really contributed nothing in the way of value received. With the methods that were used to defeat Mr. McLaurin's plans we are quite familiar. We saw and pointed them out in advance, and more than once we have called attention to the changed conditions since they have been accomplished. We have no personal acquaintance with the present state warehouse commissioner, and we have no desire to unjustly reflect upon him; but still It is not out of place to call attention to the fact not only that he was a cotton buyer and insurance aKent by occupation; but we are hearing of no objection to him by those interests which so bitterly fought Mr. McLaurin. If the present warehouse commissioner were as active and effective in the interest of the farmers as Mr. McLaurin was, we are inclined to think that he would soon be put out of business. IS IT A FRAME UP? Case of Thomas J. Mooney Attracting World-Wide Attention. The case of Thomas J. Mooney, the Los Angeles, California, labor agitator, in Jail in San Francisco, under death sentence, to be executed December 13, is exciting increasing national interest and concern. Mooney claims to be the victim of an official frame up of a kind that has been more or less common in different parts of the United States, especially in California, and investigations by the national department of labor at Washington, seem to corroborate his claims. The crime for which Mooney is suffering was committed in San Francisco on July 22, 1S16, in connection with a big preparedness parade that was held in that city on that day. There was a tremendous bomb explosion in the procession, as the result of which ten people were killed and a number were wounded, and although there was no evidence as to the perpetrators of the outrage at the time, Mooney was subsequently arrested as the result of the efforts of detectives employed by the open shop committee of San Francisco, an organization that had been for some time pitted against the union labor committees with which Mooney hud been affiliated as chairman and otherwise. Not only was Mooney charged with responsibility for the explosion; but also his wife and several others, and at the trial there developed a lot of direct and indirect testimony which seemed to make out the case. Mooney was convicted, but as to his wife there was a mistrialMooney and his friends claimed that all the testimony for the prosecution was cold-blooded perjury, and they sought a new trial; but were unable to get it notwithstanding the fact that the presiding judge himself expressed very grave doubts as to the convicted man's guilt. The supreme court of California refused to interfere and the supreme court of the United States held that there had been committed no technical error that would warrant it in overturning the proceedings of the court below. Labor people throughout the United States took the matter up, and in connection with the overthrow of the Kerensky government in Russia, Lenine and Trotsky cited this case as an evidence of the injustice of capitalism in using the civil courts to destroy those who stood for the rights of labor, etc. Upon the representations of organized labor leaders throughout the country, President Wilson himself took occasion to suggest to Governor Stephens of California the propriety of granting clemency in the case of Mooney; but Governor Stephens has not yet seen proper to act upon the suggestion. Within the past few days it has been reported that Federal Director of Labor John B. Densmore, had investigated the matter, and that he had found the judicial system of the whole Btate of California permeated with conniption that made justice a mockery. Different labor organizations over the country have resolved on their own account to institute strikes on December 2 out of protest against what they claim is the legal outrage that is being perpetrated against Mooney, and Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, is being urged to engineer a nation-wide strike. The Densmore report has caused Frederick W. Henshaw, former justice of the California supreme court, 10 issue a denial that he received a bribe of >410.000 in connection with the James O. Fair will case or that he had anything to do with any frame up In connection with the prosecutions growing out of the preparedness day explosions. Mooney, through his wife, has issued a statement from his prison, calling attention to the complete corroboration of his previous claims by the Densmore report and winding up with a reminder to the country: "But I am still under sentence of death and the date of my murder Is Friday, December 18." ? The senate privileges and elections committee voted 9 to 2 last Friday to dismiss proceedings brought against Senator La Follette of Wisconsin for an alleged disloyal speech at St. Paul, more than a year ago. The majority recommendation together with a minority report, will be presented at the senate when it reconvenes December 2. with possibility of a contest on the adoption of the majority report. Four Democratic and five Republican committeemen voted to sustain a motion flh-d by Senator ka Follette's attorney for dismissal of the proceedings which were Instituted by the Minnesota Public safety commission. Chairman Pomerene and Senator Walsh, of Montana, Democrats, voted In opposition and the chairman said he would offer a minority report. Senator Dlllngham, of Vermont, Republican, will present the majority view of the senate. Al though todays commmee acuon wnicn followed many meetings during the past year, was taken technically on the dismissal motion, detailed statements on the facts, evidence, and legal points involved are expected to be given In the majority and minority reports. Some committee members today said that however much Senator La Pollen's speech might be deplored there was no basis for his expulsion. Other committeemen held that there has been long delay In the Investigation without action while the United States was at war and that with peace further proceedings would be untimely. ? The war department not long ago reported the death of Lieut. Win. F. Caldwell, of Chester, well-known as the former manager of the Columbia bureau of the News and Courier. Lieutenant Caldwell's brother, however, has letters from him since the reported date of his death. He is In a French hospital recovering from wounds. It appears that the war department's error occurred through the mixing up of a Lleuenant W. F. Caldwell of South Carolina, with a Lieutenant W. F. Caldwell of Pennsylvania.

Now with the ep demic having run its course in th town and the college having quite number of cases within its walls an hnnnHnrics. there is sentiment that th city should quarantine against the co lege. But in view of the fact that th quarantine undertaken by the city di not appear to stay the progress of th epidemic within its own limits, thet are a good many people who are una ble to see what practical results can k accomplished by renewal of that quai antine.
