COMMUNISM FAILS IN CHINA. From the New Republic. HE continued success of the Southern armies and the waning influence of com- munism in the Hankow government are the outstanding developments at present in China. The alllance between Chiang Kai- shek and Feng Yu-shiang has already had important military results: they and their minor allies now have more than a quarter of a million men, and are advanc- ing steadily on Pekin.

The President cannot withdraw himself from the political activity which will now begin. He is the head of his party. He is surrounded by the men who run _ the party. They cannot sit by and do nothing.

Butiit is also true that most of those because the | crime of | | ’ ' ; | ; ; ! who row believe, the two men innocent | will continue to believe them innocent, | It ia most unlikely that any new evidence pointing to their guilt will develop. It is far more likely that statements or cir- cumstances contributing to belief in their innocence Will appear. There will be no constituted means of reviewing this new evidence, or apparent evidence, and nothing to counteract its effect on the public mind. The resultant feeling, crys- tallizing into a resolve that it must never happen again, might bring the abolition of capital punishment in many atates. Conceivably a constitutional amendment might be adopted, outlawing it in all the states. ; Objections to Capital punishment, on humanistic grounds, have been familiar for a century and a half. The British laureate Wordsworth sought to uphold the death penalty in sonnets which are remembered only through the indignant reply made to them by the American poet, James Russell Lowell. Today, though the extreme penalty is less fre- quently inflicted than in former times, moat states clect to keep [t in reserve for emergencies, and some have even widened its scope to include, as in Mis- souri, the crimes of carnal assault and train robbery. It will take a mighty force to overturn the institution of cap- ital punishment, but the sentiments and passions which have gone into the Mas- eachusetts cause celebre may become a mighty force. H. Now the conviction at Oneonta proves that the good fight was not in vain. Messrs. Hanson and | Pall deserve the gratitude of the nation for fulfilling, | in one of the darkest and most backward sections | of the nation, the prime function of a free press. = = * ww S. OF THE MAKING OF LAWS. Eminent lawyers engaged in the herculean task of trying to straighten out the conflicts in our laws find that Federal and State statutes have reached the incredible total of 1,900,000. More than 100,000 of these were placed on the books last year. That 1,900,000 total may be worth recalling the next time somebody gets up in meeting and says “there ought to be a law about it.” +o WILL IT END THE COAL STRIKE? In an effort to settle the coal strike Gov. Donahey of Ohio has called a conference at Columbus for Aug. 15. The public will be represented by the Governors of several states, the operators will send delegatee and John L,. Lewis.will be present in behalf.of the mine workers. In accepting the invitation Mr. Lewis concluded with this assurance: “We do so without qualifica- tion, commitment or prejudice.” There may be sig- nificance in that statement. Thus far the operators and miners have been unable even to enter upon ne- gotiations. Mr. Lewis has uncompromisingly insisted on the Jacksonville agreement, the terms of which as regards the wage scale, he has contended, are im- mutable. The operators just as uncompromisingly ‘declare that the Jacksonville agreement is impossible. They say they cannot pay such wages and survive in competition with the lower wages of the nonunion fields, which have already put many union mines out of business and have invaded the markets of the union mines, in some of which they are now firmly intrenched., Before peace can come to the coal mines, apparent- ly, either the operators or the mine workers must recede from their present position. Whether, in coming to Columbus “without qualification, commitment or prejudice,” Mr. Lewis means that the Jacksonville agreement is to be waived and the question of re- opening the mines is to be discussed from a fresh —_ ei is now in a worse mess than it ever has been. one to sell roast beef, corn on the cob, ham, bacon, eggs, bratwurst, cervelat, bologna, kartoffel salaat, wiener schnitzel, tomatoes and anchovies—in other | words, all the good things for Sunday night supper, | and forbids one to sell bread, is downright imbecilic. | few weeks ago a Georgia jury convicted W.

What happened is this: There are two factions among the storekeepers which have been quarreling for years on the Sunday closing question. The fac- tion which wants to close succeeded in getting the | aforementioned ordinance passed and upheld by the | Missouri Supreme Court. The faction which wants to stay open is now finding its members visited by the polizei and hauled into court for violation. Now Circuit Judge Rutledge has granted J. W. Stokes and C. Hs Urquhart a temporary order restraining po- lice from interfering with their business. It may seem, therefore, that the closing law is not | a blue law in any sense of the word, but is the result of the failure of the food dealers to agree among themselves. In the customary American fashion, they have rushed to the law to solve their troubles. Did the law solve them? It did not.

The notorious opposition of the Feng: Chiang coalition to communism destroys the value of Chang’s allegation that he is the only official anti-Bolshevist. Feng’s de- fection from Hankow leaves that Govern- ment with forces estimated at no more than 80,000, of dubious loyalty. Already, it is said, his demand that the Russian advisers be deported has been accepted to Some ex- tent, and a number of them have started for Urga. The Pravda, of Moscow, which ought to know, is openly mourning the failure, for the present, of the attempt at communist revolution in China. DARLING, I AM GROWING OLD: From the New Yorker.
