Many opposition newspapers have said graceful things about Mr. Harding. The Sun’s article is remarkable for its sincerity and fairness. It follows: “Tt is not an altogether unknown phenomenon —this of men who discover within themselves unsuspected reservoirs of moral and mental force when a great trial comes, who apparently possess the uncanny faculty of pulling themselves up by their bootstraps. William James years ago re- vealed that the masses of mankind never even touch or test the potential powers within them. For a limited and lucky few some great challenge, some opportunity, sets them free, breaks their shackles of easy-going mediocrity and forces them to plumb the deeps of their true selves. “President-elect Harding appears to be showing certain reactions which the thick skin of a mere politician would never register. He winced under} criticism in the senate to the effect that, while mil- lions of Americans are out of Work and their families near the edge of want, his friends planned an inauguration for him which would be a ‘lav- ish and dazzling display.’ Doubtless it was good, obvious politics for him to take the action he did take. But it may have been—and it is pleasanter to believe that it was—an assertion of the natu- ral, simple dignity of a kindly, earnest man trying to be just and fair to everybody. It may also have been a bit of self-assertion,, indicating Mr. Harding to be a shrewd judge of public opinion, and which, if it be the forerunner of independence of the same brand in the future, is the best news that has come out of Marion since the world began to turn its eye to that midland municipality. “The effrontery of the interests which have been trying to take personal possession of him already has been rebuked. Mr. Harding himself has dramatized the conflict that is raging over the make-up of his cabinet. Having himself thrust the curtain aside and given the nation a peep at what was going on, it seems unlikely that he will surrender to the pressure which he has labeled as ‘campaign of untruth and intrigue.’ He knows that the announcement of his cabinet will carry to the country its first really dependable news of the measure of the man in whom they have re- posed their trust. Knowing also the priceless value of the ‘first impression,’ he is not likely to reveal to the public a story of his abandonment, under pressure, of his high resolve.to summon to his side the best blood of his party as his cabinet advisers. “Perhaps the president-elect’s sophistication in politics will stand him in good stead. He is an intense conservative, but it may turn out that he is a sincere, honest and candid one, who, acting according to his own lights, is devoted to the pub- lic interest rather than to any special interest. It may not be so easy to pull the wool over his eyes as some folks would like. He would be foolish to sacrifice himself to make a roaring holiday of privileged legislation—and it may be that he fully appreciates this fact. Who knows, indeed, that he will not develop and expand under the stress and strain of the times before him, and that he will not prove to be a good president in exactly the inverse ratio that many Americans have ex- pected that he would make a poor one?” aot ee , A STRANGE PROPOSAL Whatever induced the British government to offer to pay to British labor unions the member- ship fee of five pounds sterling to admit veterans of the war to membership and engage in the oc- cupation over which the unon has control, is diffi- cult to comprehend from any standpoint. Governments make mistakes like individuals, but this proposition seems such a blunder, that the excuse given, to decrease employment and ex- pedite building operations, scarcely justifies. The unions look upon the offer as an attempted bribe. Most everybody else takes the same view. The indications are that the unions will refuse the proposal. The attitude of British labor is wisely deter- mined and it is to be congratulated. Neither from the standpoint of the interests of the mem- bers of labor unions nor from the ultimate in- terests of the country could they accept compen- sation from the government in return for admit- ting a returned soldier, or any other person to membership. . The offer is amazing. The position that the unions would place them- selves in is quite easily understood. If they ac- cepted money ,and admitted veterans to member- ship on the conditions, it would be an admission that the unions claimed and exercised the power to say whether a man who had risked his life to save his country should later be permitted to work and earn the bread with which to preserve his own life. It may be that the unions on the other side of the Atlantic have the power, but it would be fatal for them to admit it. Unionism has al- ways been opposed to monopoly, and there could be no monopoly worse than a monopoly of the right to work, which in other words is a monopoly of the right to live. 3 Particularly unwise would be any action that would savor of levying tribute upon the govern- ment in connection with its efforts to get back into productiy. occupations, the men who left their jobs, property and families to take up arms, endure hardship, suffering and disease, face death on shell-torn battlefields or gas-filled trenches in France. Former soldiers either have a tight to work or haven't a right. ‘If they have the right, there should be no need for the government to pay labor unions five pounds or any other sum. If they havent the, right, then the government would be in dishonest business to pay that sum or any other sum. The outcome of the proposal will be watched on both sides of the Atlantic. Sa aT PROTECTING THE PUBLIC The Pennsylvania Railroad company believes that it has at last solved a method of preventing strikes on its system in an agreement it has made with its employes. It is a plan for adjusting dif- ferences that arise, with justice to both sides. Both the company and the men are enthusiastic for the plan. However, it may on the Pennsyl- vania system, extensive as it is, their particular local agreement does not affect the situation as to the country at large. The nation should not be expected to rely upon the hopes of one set of employers and employes that their private agreement will be consistently lived up in the friendly spirit in which it was formed nor that it will always last. The railroads of the country are public utilities. The public depends upon them for their bread, fuel, milk and all other necessities. The public pays the freight.) “When :the railroads cease to operate the life of the nation is endangered. Star- vation ensues when stocks on hand are exhausted. Therefore the public cannot and will not take any chances. It is entitled to know that there will be o interruption of traffic, or if there is interruption that the persons responsible will be punished the ame as persons guilty of any other, violation of aublic rights. The ‘employes and the Pennsylvania company are deserving of great credit for their efforts in uriving at an amicable understanding, but the ‘act remains that the arrangement is by no means Jependable. There have been threats of strikes that would tic up the entire. railroad system of the country. While not probable it is possible and if attempted would be in violation of no present law. To protect the rights of the public there must be a statute that renders this service. Such as proposed in the Cummins bill and now before Con- gress in the form of the Poindexter anti-strike measure. Designed to make it unlawful for two or more persons to interfere or conspire to inter- fere with interstate commerce. The right to quit should be and is preserved in the pending bill, but the right of the public to continuous transportation should also be pro- tected in any settlement of dispute between em- ployers and employes of railroads. OUT PGS FARE REVIVAL AT HAND © “American industry has touched bottom in our economical crisis,” says Harden Colfax, one of the ablest and most conservative writers on industrial topics. By March | activity in all of the leading lines will have increased; April 1 will find unem- ployment decidedly shrunken from its present proportions; on Independence day every man who really wants a job should be at work. . “So says the crystal to business, looking with anxious eyes to the future. A symposium of views, representing the conservative thought of no fewer than 25,000 big and little industrial and other firms and, expressed through their national organizations, leaves room for no other conclu- sion. These concerns give employment to about 5,000,000 workers. “Coming back to normal is going to be slow during the next few weeks. The movement, how- ever, is expected to gain impetus gradually. The low mark of industrial readjustment has been reached’ so recently—within the last ten days or} two weeks—and business is so close to the situa- tion that it is difficult to obtain a true perspective. A decidedly spotty situation exists today, but it is clearing. Some industries are stirring rapidly, others more slowly, and still others seem be- calmed. For the last, the present hour appears to be the calm before the wind's revival.” Ikis “The Poor Simp," starring Owen Moore, was shown the last times Mon- day night. As Melville Carruthers, Mr. Moore is plunged into one mis- fortune after anbther. However, the misfortunes are farcical and the pic- ture is a scintillating comedy. Owen is not quite so funny as his brother ‘Tom, but has considerable charm. ‘Tday only. we wil see H. B. W: ¢r in “The Whita Dove,” H. Warner is a polished gentlemen and his pictures are, for that reason, en- tertaining ,and pleasing. “The ‘White Dove” was written by W. J. Locke which assures us of a skillful and in- teresting story. Mary Miles Minter would put any picture across’no matter how dull or trite the story. “All Souls’ Eve” which will be shown Wednesday, ané Thurs- day, is neither dull nor trite, As a theatrical production “All Souls’ Eve" was a big success last season. They say that every star plays at-least one dua! role. This is Mary Miles Minter’s Let's hope they dont all begin over again and make it two. apiece.. Dual roles may show expert photography ‘ind good acting in showing two char- acters of different personalities, but they are getting tiresome. They are our sense of the artistic. Jack Holt is in “All Souls' Eve", and he aloag with Miss Minter makes up for any- thing we might not care for in the picture. Do you remember MecCutcheon’s “Nedra? “Partners of Fate" is just a little bit like it. Stephen Chalmers wrote the story and it has to do with the trials of two ‘young married couples who discover shortly after marritve that they should. have been mated the other way—and then by a freakish twist of providence, find themselves paired as they should have been at the altar and castaways on two lonely tropical islands, but with the barrier of martial obligations ever before them. It is out of such a trying situation as this that Louise Lovely rises to what has been described as heights of dramatic power never 1f- forded her in any previous role. This picture wil be shown Friday and Saturday. AMERICA “A Slave of Vanity" with Pauline Frederick ended a two-day run last night. It is different. The action takes place in Europe and gives plenty opportunity for unusual settings. A: apted from the drama “Iris” by the celebrated author and playwright Sir Arthur Wing Pinero, the screen pro- duction actually outdoes the original play. And thea, girls, Nigel Barrie !c in the cast. Today Wednesday, Will Rogers as a Swede sailor will be seen in “Guile of Women,” “Didn't I tole you about vomen? By lies she make herself strong, and by lies she make mam veek?” That is the theme of the story. We suspect that Mr. Rog- ers writes his own sub-titles. They are away above the ordinary run of sub-titles. As Hjalmar Maartens, Will Rogers is a Swedish sailor. | A_ long jWay from the usual cowboy line, isn’t it?
