not overlook some of the glaring exhibitions of foul tactics, but there was some slugging that got by them. Had the offenders been sent to the sidelines at the beginning, the rough stuff would have been effectively rebuked, and its continuance would have been discouraged. Football officials are mature men, supervising the play of immature bpys likely to lose their heads. Officials accordingly have a responsibility for good sportsmanship, and should exercise it. A determination on the part of referee and umpire that there shall be only clean sport on the field is the best guarantee that the sport will be clean.

THERE must have been very great rejoicing when folks read in their Sunday morning papers how J. D. McCool had frustrated a filling station robbery by laying his hands quickly on a revolver and forcing the bandit to run for his life.

1 PRIVATE LIFE AND POWER OUR idea of power is usually associated with high office father than with private station, but the address which Woodrow Wtfson rpadcasted to millions of Americans Saturday evening contains a suggestion that the reverse may sometimes be true. A certain bold candor, which seemed shocking rashness to European diplomats, was often employed by Mr. Wilson in the foreign relations of his administration. For all that, he would hardly have dared, as the responsible head of a great Government, to declare publicly that "France and Italy, between them, have made waste paper of the treaty of Versailles." Retirement from official position has given the opportunity for complete frankness, without danger of complicating the situation America. The former station and the prestige of the man are sufficient to make the words sting, and it will not be strange if Premier Poincare finds it expedient in one of his speeches to disclaim the work of destruction.

But the same advantage of position which made it possible for Mr. Wilson to speak so candidly will make it difficult to controvert his words. He is out of the negotiations, and has no objects of his own to achieve by diplomatic maneuvering. Secretary Hughes and President Coolidgc, now holding the posts of responsibility and being obliged to speak only with careful thought for the amenities of international amity, probably are smiling discreetly in the privacy of their chambers. Here is one occasion when the greatest power, the power of telling unvarnished truth in plain words, pertains to a private citizen rather than to a great office.

News reports tell us that -the President has received much advice" but we don't suppose that he is mucli better off. at that, than the fellow who tries to work his cur int" a tight plaeo alongside the curb where there is a good salicry. lighted to find him a gamey sort of under the terrific handicaps imposed.

Our first thought was, "What a shame he didn't get that fellow," and our second thought, "A few bandits stretched out dead on tho walks in front of filling stations would be an example that might stop some of this wholesale robbery of filling stations." But neither first i.or second thoughts are the wisest. Particularly is this true when they aro conceived in a moment of indignation again6t somebody.

Several hours later, when the subject happened to bo brought to mind again, there was a better thought. It was: "That robber, with a gun in his hand, was doing a very bad, and a despicable thing. Nevertheless, it is not a crime so serious that wo would put him to death for it, should we succeed'in catching him. If we would not want to put him to death by the orderly process of law, operating In all calmness and deliberation, could we want him put to death without trial, -upon the decision of one man, and that man an individual acting upon the spur of the moment without deliberation, and with a personal reason for hatred of the victim?"

An hour or so later, Schenectady began broadcasting an address on preparedness by a major-general who had been in the army 40 years and who felt in duty bound to warn the people of New York of their defenseless condition. He was for universal military training, a larger army and everything else. Here were contrasted the two views on the same subject, on the enc hand. Dr.

Clippingcr's that preparedness is a myth, merely a race between nations in piling up armament, and on the oilier, the conventional military idea that preparation for war is of the highest importance and that the nation that doesn't prepare is a fool. On the same day, and by men of the highest patriotism the American people were urged to outlaw war, and were told that universal peace is a pleasant dream which never can be realized as long as selfishness and economic competition continue. Who is right? Small wonder that people arc confused. There is a middle ground between rampant militarism and blind pacifism. Holders of this position would work unceasingly for better international understanding and reject the cynical theory that "nations always will fight." At the same time they would keep weapons brightly polished.

The extreme groups arc not to be reconciled. The middlc-of-thc roadcrs who probably arc in the majority ought to define their position clearly.
