LINCOLN STEFFKNS must be Iaujliiii,' in liis Klucve. The l.iiilu
biiloo raised by Mayor Baker and the Portland Oreiionian, op
posing his .speech on the soviet government, was worth a thousand
dollars in advertising.
Steffens lias been speaking, wore or less, all over the country, and
ns far as reported there has been no excitement. At least, Denver,
Colorado, suffered the devastation of his words and at last reports
had not gone bolshevik. His audiences have been neither large nor
enthusiastic. He might have gone on speaking for months, without
stirring public interest to the rippling point.
Hut Portland, deur old Portland. jumps into the breach and by
refusing Steffens the right to speak, promptly advertises his tour all
over the country and increases his effectiveness at least a hundred
fold. Thousands of people who have no interest in soviet Russia, but
considerable in the right of free speech, will go to hear him now.
Thousands of others will read his speech, because their curiosity will
have been aroused. If Steffens has something to say about the bol
sheviki so seductive that an American city of metropolitan propor
tions dare not listen, then it must be worth reading.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, that is the inevitable reaction upon
tho popular mind. Curiosity may have killed a cat, but it has put
life into more oratorical "dead ones," than any amount of fire works
and friendly propoganda. Being, mi old newspaper man, Steffens
must appreciate this. And ho will probably be quick to profit by it. ;
The way to kill off Steffens, assuming it is desirable he should
be killed off, is to let him talk. Unless he has changed in the last
ten years, like most writers, he is a poor speaker. And the best way
to combat tho bolshevik propoganda, is to inform the people of con
ditions in Russia, not clamp down the lid and allow the imagination
of general discontent to ferment.
Wo don't know what Steffens hns the say about Russia. But we
know if he tells the truth, he will make no soviet converts in this noek
of the woods. And if he doesn't tell the truth, the best way to repu
diate him is to call him a liar, and bring in the facts to condemn him.
But for the love of common sense don't refuse him audience, don't
advertise hiim don't allow him the pose of a martyr. That allows him
an influenco ho could secure in no other way.

NIGHTS AT HOME.
I ALWAYS spend my nights at home, remote from strife and
care; a pillow soft supports my dome, my feet rest on a chair;
and so I read some gripping pome or volume ripe and rare. My
aunts and grandmas play some tunes, or blithely sew and knit,
while merry children, full of prunes, throw many a gladsome fit,
till lullabys their mother croons anil so the calm hours flit. And
when the morning comes I read how men who roamed by night
fell victims to the auto's speed, were shot up in a fight, or touched
for all their chicken feed by some unholy wight. I rend of kid
napped maidens fair, and parents in distress, of youths who lose,
in White Way glare, tho number of their mess, of misdeeds in the
gamblers' lair, and'criines no man dare guess. I say, if those who
gallivant, would spend their nights at home, with grandma, niece
and maiden mint, and read some helpful tome, the crime of which
the peelers runt would disappear like foam. I'd rather be with
bards who think than with the men who prance to places where
the glasses clink, and there arc games of chance; a book is better
than a drink, or than a tango dance. And when at lawn I leave
my bed I caper and I sing, no hold-up with a bar of lead, has
spoiled my larboard wing, I do not have to stitch my head, or
wear it in a sling. ., ..

When the famoiiH racer left tho farm
at iterlln, Maryland, where ho was
stabled after hit return from hit tri
umph over Sir llarton nt Windsor,
ho was placed in a padded automobile
van and hauled to the express car.
On his arrival in Lexington, ho was
unloaded into unother van and taken
to the Kentucky .Jockey club race
track for exhibition to admiring thous
ands of KentucklaitH.
When ho whs taken from the track
to Hinala farm, n distance of six
miles, ho was again placed In a van
and hauled over the smooth highway
to the farm. There he was unloaded
and placed In a stall npectalry pre

Although Miss Dalngerfleld. whose
reputation as a breeder of race horses
is second to none, has snid that "A
horse Is a horse and Man O'War will
Just have a stable," nho told the rep

:9 PRINCIPAL TOPIC AT NEXT
NEW YORK. Twelve Important
cogs In the machinery of the League
of Notions, many of which are to be
set in motion when the council of the
league convenes In Geneva, Switzer
land, February 21, and the problems
which await their action, are defined
In a forecast of the work of the league
which has just been received here.
Arthur Bweetaer, an officer of the
American commission to the peace
conference at Versailles and now at
tached to the League of Nations' secre
tariat staff, is the author of the fore
cast. He says the twelve cogs are
really special commissions, the person
nel of which will in some cases be
designated by the council at its forth
coming meeting.
The subjects that will be handled by
the commissions are enumerated by
Mr. Sweetser as follows:
Reduction of Armaments
Technical examination Into the pres
ent condition of world armaments, now
under way by the permanent military,
naval and air commission of tho league
will be completed. In addition a tem
porary commission of experts In the
political, social and economic world
will be asked to submit plans for a
reduction of armaments. The ainiiof
tills commission will be to get mem
bers of tho league to agree not to ex
ceed their prescrlt slcale of armaments,
to agree to a proportionate and simul
taneous reduction In military budgets
und to accept the principle of scientific
and comprehensive reduction of arma
ments to the least figure compatible
with national security. Investigation
of the prlvato manufacture of muni
tions and war material, denounced as
"a source of danger to tho world thru
an extended sale thruout the less civ
ilized areas in Asia and Africa" will be
undertaken.
Permanent Court of International
Justice
Nominations of 11 judges, chosen
for a period of nine years, are to be
made next summer and the selections
announced at the second assembly to
be held in September next. The list
of candidates will be prepared mainly
by The Hague court of arbitral justice
and all nominees will be voted upon
separately by the assembly and the
council. So far 22 nations, including
Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan,
have signed the protocol providing for
the court whose adoption by a unani
mous vote of the assembly Is held to
be the greatest single advance the
Laegue of Nations has yet registered
In International relations.
Two Important problems which had
to be decided before the court begins
to convene were, first, should the court
have the power of compulsory adjudi
cation? And, second, should it be or
ganized by resolution of the assembly
or submitted to ratification by individ
ual nations? These questions were de
cided by the assembly providing that
those nations so desiring may accept
the principle of compulsory adjudica
tion and that the organization of the
court should bo subject to ratification
of individual nations. Action for or
against the court will be taken In a
number ot parliaments which meet
this year.
Mandates
An International commission of nine
members from non-maudatory powers,
is to be appointed by the council in
accordance with an agreement reached
on November 29. The question of
mandates for the 13,000,000 or more
people ot the Pacific Islands, South
Africa, Turkey and Kiao-Chow, freed
from Germany and Turkey during the
war, opens one of the least advanced
of all the league's problems. Tenta
tive drafts have been proposed by the
allied powers so that the league Is now
In possession of the terms of all pros
pective mandates. These will be ana
lyzed and, where necessary, possible
changes recommended.
International Economics and Finance
A permanent, centralizing, economic
and financial organization Is to be
formed within the league by the ap
pointment of an advisory, economic
and financial committee, tho member
ship of which will be composed of
leading world financiers and econo
mists. This committee In a sense will
be the successor of the supreme eco
nomic council. It grew out of the
Brussels international conference and
will be charged with the duty of con
sidering the Immediate application of
that body's recommendations.
Other subjects to be dealt with by
commissions are proposed amend
ments to the covenant of the league,
registration and publication of treaties
between member nations, methods of
applying the International economic
blockade and means of providing funds
for the secretariat and auditing its ac
counts. Other commissions or organizations
will take up methods of improving
means ot communication and transpor
tation in Europe and coordination of
international health organizations in
combatting epidemics.
Under the head of humanitarian
work come such subjects as the Ar
menian massacres and the white slave
and opium traffics which are to be
handled by. the cooperation of several
or all governments in the league. The
United States, Spain and Brazil, at the
council's invitation, have agreed to
use their influence to end the Ar
menian horrors and the. allied powers,
through their representatives Rt Con
stantinople, are now ascertaining the
best methods of approach.
Fifteen nations, including . Canada,
Persia, Slam, Austria, Bulgaria and
Germany nre giving financial aid to
combat typhus which lias been raging
in eastern Europe more than a year.
An International conference on the
white slave traffic is to be held this
summer. A commission of three qual
ified residents of Armenia and Asia
Minor, one of them a woman, is to be
appointed by the council to report on
the traffic In women and children in
that part of the world.
. Suppression of the trade In opium
and other narcotic drugs, especially
in China, is to be undertaken by an
advisory committee aided by experts
from all the countries involved: The
Netherlands' government which, here
tofore has taken the lead In the sup
pression of the opium trade by cooper
ative action, has turned the whole
problem over to the league.
In conclusion, Mr. Sweetser declared
that "the months betwoen now and
September are going to be full of very
careful and detailed study ot every
phase of league Interest. "The league"
lie asserts, "instead of slowing up, Is
going ahead with greater intensity
than ever."
