What could be more logical .than to appoint thi secretary of state, whoso busines: it is to keep his fingers constant ly upon the world's fevered pulBe? He knows more about the com plicated foreign relations of the nation than does anyone associ ated with the administration, not even excepting the president, for the simple reason that the func tion of his office compels the secretary , to make that his sole responbibilty. Manchestei Union. scribed as "futile bad manners," failed, as It deserved to fail. The much-advertised drive to force all doors of the conference wide open went to pieces on the rocks of common sense, bnt it gave Sena tor Lodge a ' chance to give a badly needed lecture on what con stitutes international good ban ners. We hare invited five nations to come to Washington and dis cuss two most important world questions. Tere was some re luctance to come at all. We have specified the subjects to be dis cussed, and that has not met with general approval. Not con tent with that, certain senators wonld enforce discussion of some highly dangerous questions in tbe open. The five invited nations have some rights in saying what shall and what shall not be done. They bare, in fact, just as much right as has the United States. The country has been given proofs in plenty of the ability and the deep nationalism of the ad ministration. The nation is not about to be betrayed. Disarma ment is not about to be done to death in the house of its friends because a few doors will be clos ed. Why be futilely foolish about it? A current editorial writer on the same subject Fays: "The secrecy regarding treat ies, so' much condemned in the past, has been of the sort that persisted after the treaty was rat ified and In force. The most re cent evidence of that kind of diplomacy was in the agreement between Great Britain and Japan by which the latter country was to be given Shantung and former German Pacific islands north of the equator if she would enter the war on the side of the allies. The world was kept in Ignoranc of that treaty, and when . the United States was about to enter the war, Mr. Balfour in effect told Mr. Wilson that no such agreement existed. "There will be complete pub licity of the results of the Wash ington armaments conference, and such publications of the pro ceedings from time to time, as may be properly given out. AH of the evils that have 6tigma-i tized secret diplomacy in forme days will be absent, while the other extreme Vill be avoided of opening every meeting of ev ery conference committee to the public gaze."

FUTURE DATES ! fepiemlwr 17, Saturdmr Csutitntma t-. ;- .. ' Kp'-mWr tS U October -1 Oregon Senator Reed Smoot, who is the economic expert of the senate finance committee, is preparing a program for taxation 'that has but six chapters. He would draw all tax revenues from Eix source and his plan would make it a comparatively simple thing for an ordinary human being to make out his tax statement. He would !evy taxes on incomes, corpora tton profits, tobacco, inheritances, sales and imports. All these might be easily assessed and col lected without much trouble or expense. Senator Smoot figures that several thousand clerks and officials could be spartd from the service with the adoption of his plan and at the same time th3 government would derive nearly four billions in revenue with much less friction and objection than is now experienced. Of course, the general tax of 3 per cent on manufacturers' sales would furnish the heavy item of revenue, but this would be reas onably fair and would be easy to assess and collect. It would be spread over the whole nation and, while the consumer would pay it. he would not have the fact offensively paraded In front of his beak. We will never have a tax. we like and our idea of a just one is one that is paid by the other' fellow; but Senator Smoot Jis a practical authority on tax problems and may be sa re ly listened to with attention and respect. . who. whether for reasons of af fection or purposes of investiga tion, have visited the far-flu 115 cemeteries la France, in Belgium and in England where the Ameri can heroes sleep their last sleep and await the trump of the great accounting day. The commission, however, looks beyond the fugitive present. It proposes a plan whereby the tasteful appearance now present ed by the American cemeteries abroad shall be preserved for all time. It desires to secure grounds of sufficient size to pro vide an appropriate space for each grave, to erect uniform 'head stones of marble high enough to give the grass full sway and to plant trees to cover each entire burial area. The trees are to be the great feature. They are not only to be planted around the cemetery, but are also to border the roads leading to it from the nearest town or village. Trees indigenous to the United States ; that will also grow abroad will be .selected. The maple is al ready in use for the Canadians and the eucalyptus for the Aus tralians. Provision is also made tor the acquiring of land to erect monuments commenforateing the brave part played by American soldiers in the decisive battles of the war. The appropriation sought for this highly decorative and com prehensive, yet simple, scheme is modest in amount, something like $3,000,000.
