Here we bave them telling us that the successor to Chairman Hays of the nations! Republican commit- tee, shortly to be elected, will be hand picked by Mr. i ing. In other words, he must be Mr. Harding’s moving along regularly and evealy as outlined in his first address to congress. It can be reiterated with profit at this time: > ¢ “The situation is so involved that our pee engage- ments cannot ore the Old World relationship and | the settlements already effected, nor is it desirable to |do so in preserving our own rights and contracting our future relationships. * * * The weariness at | home and the disappointment of the world have been | compensated in the proof that this republic will sur- | render none of its heritage of nationality, but our rights in international relationships have to be as- serted; they require establishment in compacts of amity; our part in readjustment and restoration ean- not be ignored, and must be defined. * * * With the supergoverning league definitely rejected and with the world so informed, and with the status of peace proclaimed at home, we may proceed to negotiate the covenanted relationships so essential to the reeogni- tion of all the rights everywhere of our own nation and play our full part in joining the peoples of the world in the pursuits of peace once more. * * * We can be helpful because we are moved by no hatreds and harbor no fears. Helpfulness does not mean en- tanglement, and participation in economic adjust- ments does not mean sponsorship for treaty commit- ments which do not concern us, and in which we will have no part.” It is all right for the opposition press to play the dog in the manger, we expect that, but until it points out a variation of the original program the wisest thing would be silence. We have principles and pok icies of our own and we do not anticipate needing any of the repudiated inventions of Mr. Wilson. RE EO Sa ee ITS UP TO HOLLYWOOD. “Hollywood,” says the Kansas City Star, “has taken alarm at rumofs that Europe, in an interval of relativ- ity as regards war and peace, has discavered the movie industry and even taken it up in a small way, with apparent intent to derive a profit therefrom if such there be. Hollywood has heard that European studios already have put out a number of films, and that some of them have found their way to America and are now being shown in coupetition with Amer- ca's-—meaning Hollywood’s—own., “Tais attempt to drag America from its isolation striker. Hollyweed as being the most pvrnicious kind of foreign interference. It is un-American—and so are the films that are coming over. Wherefore Hol- lywood is considering what to do about it besides de- nouncing the situation, which already has been at- tended to. “Perhaps it would help Hollywood to take a look at some other industries that are faced by the same prob- lem. Mr. Schwab told us the other day that Germany was sending steel to England and selling it there cheap- er than it could be made in Birmingham. The same country is selling machine tools in Detroit cheaper than they can be made—or are being made—there. Mr. Schwab seemed to think Birmingham and Detroit man and take his orders from that gentleman That sort of thing was in vogue in Mr. Wilson’s day, but the styles have changed. The president is ne longer a dictator and the present holder of that Cannot it be understood that Mr. Harding does not own the Republican‘party, but rather the party owns Mr. Harding. We are sure he does not set himself up to be either We believe his notion is that he is a servant both of the party to which he belongs and the people, who are the gov- ernment. Mr. Harding is the actual head of the government and the nominal head of the party, but that does not mean that he will usurp the rights and powers of the people in either case. He understands popular gov- ernment and party organization and has had extensive schooling jin both. im organization and efficiency in management will be satisfactory as Republican chairman as far as Mr. Harding is concerned. His habits of thought and ac- tion are far from dictatorial. The metropolitan writers must revise their views to conform to the rew erder which in reality is the old order. of former simpler times. Te is the very Harding characteristics which prom- ise to make him one of the greatest presidents in our national history. His administration will not be spfc- tacular. He will not frequently force himself into the limelight; but as an administration blessing the country with universal good feeling, steady and wholesome progress, and strengthening of the gov- ernment in the service of the people, his will have few if any superiors. A thoughtless representation of Mr. Harding as de- termining for the national committee who shall be its chairman is not only doing the president an un- kindly act but giving the people of the country an erroneous conception of the character of the man they have elected as their, chief executive. Undoubt- edly if the national committee should ask Mr. Hard- ing’s opinion he would express an opinion just as would any other good member of the Republican party. But there is a vast difference between ex pressing an opinion upon invitation and assuming to act as the sole authority in determining who shall be the head of the national committee. It is highly important that the people get a proper conception of the changed relationship which the gov- ernment maintains toward them. We are to have less government in business and more business in govern- ment. Not only in their personal affairs, their pri- vate business and in their political activities are the people invited and urged to act on their own initia- tive, their own enterprise and their own judgment; but they are assured that so long as they transgress no law enacted for the public welfare, they will en- counter no interference, no hindrance at the hands of the government. ———_—_—. PLAYING OUR OWN PROGRAM. When the American government determined to have representatives attend the meetings of the leagn of nations, at the urgent soli tion of our late allies, in order that any interests we have might be protected, it was to be expected that the Democratic press would Suggest that a Wilson policy had been adopted by the Harding administration. It does not happen to be the case, however. Mr. Wilson fina When reached the conclusion that the United States would not accept the League of Na- tions he withdrew representation from the council. He did this after his usual petulant fashion with the Yiew that the interests of this country would be so jeopardized that pressure would be brought on the senate and the whole league dose would be swallowed. The pressure was brought but the senate stood firm and the people stood by the senate Representation on the council implies nothing more | than a desire to intelligently assist from first han knowledge in the solution of the many problems t confront our friends, the allies. We are sure the president could have no stronger assurance of his determination to carry into effect the wishes of the American people, respecting the League of Nations, y the appointment of George Harvey an unofficially represent us in the council. the selection of Colonel Harvey of the president be ‘ Colonel House as the representative to the naming of x ‘Hor presentative” Wilson during the greater portion of the latter’s in- cumbency, for Harvey’s status as ambassador to Great Britain bears the confirmation of the nited States senate, while House had no authority whatever te speak for the United States.

England has offended.in a less degree, and it may help some to state the reason. Eng- lish films are distinctly inferior to American films. That seems to be admitted by producers and specta- tors alike. The photography is voor; English picture makers have not learned how to’ work in the details our own producers give us, and there is no compari- son in point of action. Competition between Amer- ican and English pictures, therefore, is all in Eng- land, not in America. American productions are driv- ing out the English right in London, and Hollywood can hear the English crying out about it if it will listen, . “With German pictures it is otherwise. They are good, if not quite up to the American standard in photography, and they are produced cheaper than Hollywood can produce them. As a result they are doing, in some degree, to American: pictures in Amer- ica what American pictures are doing to the English in England. How can they do it? Hollywood ought to be able to answer. In Germany the star system, and the salaries that go with the star system in Amer- ica, does not exist. The biggest German production seen in this country did, indeed, feature the name of one player in it, but no others. Critics gave high credit to the work of the entire cast, which was made up of finished artists, but they could not inform us who they were. Probably none of them received a salary of one million dollars. “If it should appear on examination that Amer- ican pictures cost too much to produce in competi- tion with European productions, maybe the reason can be found, if Hollywood puts its mind to it. It seems to be Hollywood's problem.” FE i SS EXAGGERATION. “Mortgages have been foreclosed before,” suggests Life; “tenants have given up their leases, farmers have been busted. There have been forced sales and bankruptcy every year. But there are more of these failures now than in normal years. Men tried to go into high-priced farming on short capital. They were not prepared for a disastrous price break. They could not finance the deferred payments on their contracts for the expensive lands they had bought. “Conditions have been much worse in different sec- tions and at different periods in the past within the memory of men now living. But we have forgotten the old troubles, and we are in the mood now to no- tice and agonize over matters that we would not pay much attention to in normal times. “At any rate, we cannot help matters by an abject surrender—by running around and telling one anoth- er tales of trouble. We must work out our own sal- vation. It is useless to ‘pass the hat’ and expect the public or the government to make good our losses or insure our future profits. The nation cannot under- write every man who goes farming and protect him from loss. It cannot boost prices against a world con- dition, even if it were willing to try such a doubtful experiment. “The nation cannot extend credit where credit is not due or/lend money where there is no hope of re- payment. It cannot guarantee against bad judgment or shiftlessness. It is admitted now that a large oer cent of the farmers are ‘weathering through,’ and while everybody is sorry for the tenants and farm owners who suffered losses, it is absurd to say that ‘agriculture is flat on its back in the gutter.’” SST Swi WHAT WAS THE USE? After inflicting one of the most unsavory scan- dals upon the American public that was ever turned loose, the Stillmans will settle their marital troubles out of court. The case will be dropped, there will be no divorce, Stillman will go to Paris to reside and Mrs. Stillman and the children will remain in Amer- mple financial provision will be made for every- support; and the remainder of the lives of the members of the family will be spent in trying to live down the events of the past several months. It is some wreck, but the general nublic will soon forget despite the unusual publicity. The wealth and social prominence of the family made tht case notable, otherwise it was similar to hundreds of others that oc- cupy local attention almost every day. With all the assumption of superiority, once the curtain was rolled up exposing their lives, the Still- mans were just, ordinary every day sinners. ‘Their rottenness possessed no originality whatever. It was fso common that it is disgusting. R eS Es ee SAS don’t pretend to understand the matter at all, but California has increased her vineyard area this by 175,000 acres.
