The passing of Edward Douglass White creates a vacancy in the office of chief justice of the United | States supreme court. This will be Mr. Harding’s first appointment of a member of this court. Un- til a suitable time has elapsed after the funeral of the late chief justice, the matter, of course, will not be considered by the president. This does not, however, prevent speculation as to a successor. When the time does come there should be but little question. Acknowledging the merits of all other eligibles William Howard Taft should be made the chief justice. It would be a most appro- priate and graceful action on the part of the presi- dent. Mr. Taft may have equals in knowledge of the Jaw, but certainly no superiors. It has been the hope of his life to occupy a place on the supreme bench. It is known to his most intimate friends that he would have much preferred the chief justiceship to the presi- dene; nd to accept this position after having served as president is no step downward on the ladder for Mr. Taft. His position in the world is assured, and he has too many years of life remaining which he should devote to the service of the country, to which, in every capacity he has ever served he has brought | honor. pa 10 HENRY LODGE AT SEVENTY-ONE. “There are frequent assurances to all in interest that ‘youth must be served,’ quotes the Manchester} Union, nd that this is the age of young men, but now and then something comes to light to show “hat the elder brethren are by no means necessirily out of the game. “Senator Henry Cabot Lodge had a birthday Thur: day. As he opened his eyes to the light of a y day back in 1850, the anniversary he celebra' his 7ist. That d was he has passed the traditional span of men’s activities and might be figured in the sear and yellow leaf stage of protracted survival. But Senator Lodge is undeniably in possession of his fac- ulties.

To be sure, the story continues that he survived many years, in which he didn’t hesitate to take on the responsibilities of marriage, but that is aside from the point now under discussion. The times have changed. It is a new dispensation. A good many of the present day septuagenavians have no notion of considering themselves—or being consid- ered by others—as hopelessly passe and out of date. By their works they propose to be known as still in the field of activities. And Senator Lodge is a very striking example of the typt.” of the Ver peet. He v nent of Wilso: en ns A THE PRESIDENT’S CHAIR. When President. Wilson retired from office and removed from the White House he took the chair he had occupied for eight years at the council table of the nation with him to his new home as a souvenir of his service. This left President Harding without anything to sit upon, and in the interest of economy he refrained from spending public money for office furniture, intending to ship to Washington for his use the editorial chair he so long occupied in the sactum of the Marion Star. The high cost of freight put an end to this plan, so Editor Birmingham of the Fourth Estate appealed to the editors of America for one buck each for the purpose of providing a hrother editor in distress with a chair to sit in. It is need. less to say that the brethren responded with the same alacrity Brother Harding so often did in the old day when approached by a tourist printer for the where- withal to eat until he located a shift or two. It is some chair, and the president would rather have it from the particular source and in the par- ticular manner than anything else in the world. The Tribune did its duty in the good cause. ai es ABOUT OVERALLS. “A big overalls factory failed the other day,” ob- serves the New Orleans Times-Picayune. “We don’t recall just where it was except that it was in the United States, and we are sure we heard nothing as to the cause or causes bringing on the financial dis- aster. Nevertheless the theme is one that might al- most be adopted as text for a church sermon at the present national juncture. “While we were all commenting on the silk shirt craze and other manifestations of a desire for fine feathers and for the symbols of ease and luxury, how many of us gave thought to the fact that this craze was the negation of overalls, the spurning of what | viewed as a first form of labor decadence, as a sort | und<virability of labor, something to be put off hur- | the trick—perhaps that more than anything else— Post makes this observation: stopped to think that the lowered efficiency of Ia- bor was in large measure due to a spirit of revolt against hard, earnest work, soiling and scathing work, work such zs has been necessary to build up our na- tion and such as will have to be done again and al- wi if decadence is not to follow? To a certain extent overalls themselves may be! of camouflage to cover the real man beneath. They might be taken as indicating the temporafiness and rieaiy so that little time will be lost in passing from work to the rcal purposes of life—amusement! “In olden times, when the ‘dignity of labor’ meant much more than now, when the line of demarcation between artisan and artist was a hair's breadth, there was no such thing as overalls. There was a laborer’s costume suited to his employment and usually pic- turesque because of its very appropriateness. But it was one to wear as an honor, not to be put off hur- riedly as a badge of servitude by those desirous only of losing their identity as workers in the hope of be- ing mistaken for idlers or social parasites. “This view the oneness of overalls may well have helped on, for it destroys the remaining pride in ef- ficiency by seeming to group in one class men of the widest separated interests. Machinery, too, has turned for the artisan, once in very fact an artisan, has now become little more than hostler to an oil consuming monster. Lahpr performs a fraction of a fraction of a task and knows none of the emotions of complete creation, Therefore the submission to the overalls while ‘on the job’ and the eagerness to shed them quickly when the whistle has blown. “And there is yet one more consideration. The overalls as a uniform of labor tends to join the most desperate elements into a dangerous conglomerate.” ee The trouble with this country is not Business de- pression, tariff, tax reduction, reconstruction, high cost or railroad wages. Just remove the feminine knee from the public eye aid we will be able to see our way clearly through the maze of other difficulties. — ee ee OUR GREAT SHEPHERDS. Poking a little fun at the faithfulness of Repub- licans generally and certain eminent ones in particu- lar, to the protection of the wool industry, the Chicago “The Republicans in Congress who are contemplat- ing tariff revision still look upon the wool schedule as the very citadel of protection. Through every- tariff debate in House and Sendte for years the representa- tives of both carties went wool gathering. When the Democrats passed the most recent tariff measure it was said that there was danger that the defenders of the sheepfold were to be separated from their jobs for something like forever and a day. “However, the valiant Edardisns of the flocks al- ready are back at their job of tending, and soon will be busy in keeping at a distance the ravening wolf of free trade, or anything that looks like it, Nelson W. Aldrich, who said that the wool schedule was the all in all of protection, has gone, but Warren of Wyo- ming still lives and still is on the job. It was War- ren of Wyoming whom Senator Dolliver of Iowa called ‘the greatest shepherd since Abraham.’ ° “There was another great shepherd in that older day, Charles H. Grosvenor of Ohid, who, like Ald- rich, has gone before, but he has left watchful and strong-armed sentinels of the flocks who have taken over watch and ward. There are Republican valiants who will see to it that the sheepfold shall be tended unceasingly from now until the day when the new law shall do-the work for them,” bi FA SSD OUR OLD ARMY POSTS. In casting about for means to rediice public ex- pense, the war department ,will, of ¢ourse, mark cer- tain army posts for abandonment.« It always does. And in this day when it is rather more of a protilem than it has ever been before to raise the required rev- enue for government support, there will likely be a more serious effort to discontinue posts than has yet been made. Scattered from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Canadian boundary to Mexico and the gulf are a number of army posts. Important in their day but of little real value for military purposes in this day. It is quite natural that the people living in the vicin- ity of local posts object to government abandonment and sale. ? Around these army posts the pioneer history of the country was enacted. They were the outposts of civ- ilization. They were established to protect the hardy American pioneer pushing his way westward into the then hostile Indian country. Around these old posts are clustered memories of a day of real adventure in which the names of many of our famous fighters and empire builders figured. It was the period of Amer- ican knighthood. It is like destroying the history of our country to abolish any one of these posts with the sentimental and historical interest they possess. Whatever their cost they have paid their way and should remain for- ever, monuments to a past that will always be glorious in our annals. —_—_—_o—______ When Secretary Denby gets his naval officers back into the dress uniforms, cocked hats, swords and all, how are we going to know when the lodge is holding its conclave? Capa REDUCE COAL PRICES. The people of the country have bten asked to buy coal against the needs of next winter and to assist the poor operators keep the wolf from the door. They want us to buy this coal at war prices. That is going pretty strong for people who made as much profit as they did out of their business for the past several years. It is just about time the.coal men dis- covered ways and means of providing cheaper coal to the consuming public for there is going to be a mighty howl go up about the time cool weather comes on. If these barons think for an instant the public is going to pay the profiteering prices asked for this necessity, they will be fooled. If something isn’t done the Anierican people will see what power there is in government when it is backed by them. Nobody is going without coal next winter and no- body is going to freee to death and furthermore there is going to be a substantial cut in prices. The pa- tience of the American people has reached the limit. iy SEND) CITY STREETS. A tireless tide, a countless throng, A ceaseless river pouring Through city streets and avenues, With din of traffic’s roaring. A distant purpose in each face, Eyes deep in gloomy thinking; My only friend in all the host— A gutter swallow, drinking. No answer does my yearning find To brotherhood of smiling That ventures with a fainting hope Of heedless world beguiling. It does not know the fields are fair And new-grown cowslips blooming, It does not know the robber bee His gypsy carol’s booming. I would my song could stay its steps And give it heart for singing, And eyes to see a greening earth blue denim and khaki stand for? How many of us } With vivid glories springing.
