William Allen White has studied the president and delivered the result of his observations, and most Americans will agree with the estimate Mr. White has so gracefully put into language. It comes with con- siderable satisfaction to those who all along had faith in the president, for Mr. White was a disciple and friend of Theodore Roosevelt and of that school of Republican politics that in the beginning had but lit- tle confidence in Mr. Harding and believed him tainted with reaction. Republicans of the radical or Progress- ive type and those of the ultra conservative type in their devotion to their ideals had forgotten the orig- inal type from which both were offshoots and not rep- resentative—just Republican type, the Ohio type, the McKinley type, the Harding type. The type schooled by “such masters as James Garfield, John Sherman, William McKinley, Mark Hanna, Joseph B. Foraker, Charles Henry Grosvenor and others of that great galaxy of Republican party schoolmasters at whose feet Harding’s generation sat and studied. It could not be otherwise than, after the war of the extremists in 1912 the great mass of people holding Republican principles would settle back upon the true model of Republican faith under which the nation’s most glor- ious history had been written, and Harding as the best representative of it. What Mr. White says will be read with pleasure and approval not only by Republicans but by everybody who helped placé Mr. Harding in the presidency by a 7 million majority. But let Mr. White say it: “Five months of it today, Mr. President, and every day you have grown stronger. It is a fearful ordeal to stand before 100,000,000 people every day for five months—their spokesman, their example, their ideal of Americanism. No king has such power as you; nor has the Pope, the head of all Christendom, such a glare of publicity upon him. No human being on earth ex- cept the president of the United States is forever in the public eye, with no privacy, no hours to himself, .no ights that the republic is bound to respect. Ours is the only great ruler in the earth whose status is servant and whose powers are almost absolute. And you have had five months of it, the withering nerve- wrecking, heart-breaking glare and wear and wrack and jar of it, and you have kept fit and sweet and fine. “More than that, you have grown in power and grace. Not that in growing in power you have as- sumed new functions; but you have gained during every hour of the time more and more confidence of the American people. That is the only source of power in the presidential office. And in grace you have hus- banded your gains and banked them with tact, and sense and kindly Yankee shrewdness. Early in the game you became a party leader, took the reins from those who thought they were going to syndicate you and keep you in trust, and you took responsibility gently, firmly, quietly, but with unmistakable de- cision. . “Then having party leadership well in hand, you took national leadership, somewhat farger than party leadership. The nation began to trust you as an Amer- ican—not a personal, rampant, militant, you of your ownself; but the wise counsel that gathered about you, that clearly governed you and still let you lead them. There you stood among the rulers of the world, s simple, kind-hearted, clear-eyed most modest gen- tleman, not quite sure of yourselt—indeed, never sure enough to make an enemy of a well-intentioned man or cause. “The things you have done, Mr. President, in these five months is not spectacular, but still it remains a unique thing in history. You have gathered about you a tremendous stock of confidence, of good will, of high aspiration of many men—indeed, many men of different and sometimes opposing minds; but al- ‘ways men who have the deep abiding faith that Amer- ica is the keeper of the ark of the covenant in these dreadful days; differing men who have gripping faith that some way wisdom will come to America to be worthy of her great trust. What you have said has not been ringing full of clarion notes; what you have done has not been heroic in its dash’and clatter. Move- ment has not always been direct, but it has been open and frank; and while cautious it has never been devious. “So now you have attained that world leadership which must come to any man who has the confidence of the American people. It is a terrible position. We have erected here in this office we call the presidency in America an awful thing—too big for any man, yet not big enough for more than one personality. It is a man killer, because it requires every ounce of grit, every grain of patience, every drachm of faith and all the wisdom that God can put into one heart to do the day’s work. And you are standing there in the gruel- ing lonesomeness that must be the ruler’s place, a sim- ple kindly decent man before the people of the earth trying with what talents fate has given you to play your part—America’s part in the great drama crowd- ing into the stage eagerly, restlessly, tragically from without!” = ARE WE GETTING ANYWHERE? Whether we are to have actual prohibition in this country or not, would seem to be largely up to the government. The people have ordered it by a large majority and after the manner prescribed-by law. If the people have changed t! minds and no longer want prohibition and belicve they made a mistake in their previous action, the way is open to them to bring liquor back just as they bepished That a minority of the people obtaining and using liquor, is not sufficient eviderce to congress that the people desire to return to ‘et conditions. On a moral question like prohibition no legislative body is going to take favorable action on what is considered the immoral. side. So long as there is not rigid enforcement of the law and the people can secure supplies of liquor from outside sources, we will continue to have what may be called platonic prohibition. It is realized that enforcement is difficult and if it ever is made effective will require a long time, a large army of enforcers and a different class of enforcers than those heretofore or at present on the job. The whole situation seems to lack sincerity, at least in this section of the cowntry. It may be different elsewhere, and possibly is, If the Boston Commercial Builetin speaks truly it is different in New England. While the Bulletin speaks editorially, news columns do not bear out the story. The Bulletin says on the general subject: “A man who does not smoke would cheerfully ap- prove of a tax of a hundred per cent on cigars, or even a law prohibiting the use of tobacco, but the habitual user of tobacco would have quite a different opinion on the subject. . “If a law should be enacted forbidding the use of tobacco, and certain rich men should assume that they would still be able to buy and smoke expensive cigars, while laboring men would not be allowed to buy tobac- co for their pipes, they would certainly be making a foolish assumption. And yet this seems to be the thought that was in the minds of many .men regard- ing the law prohibiting the sale of intoxicating drinks. The poor man was to be saved from the saloon, but the rich man would find some way to indulge in all the intoxicants he wanted and especially the wines and beer that have been the subject of much discus- sion of late. “All the talk we hear about the blessings of beer and light wine is no new idea. Massachusetts tried the beer experiment in 1870. After three years of state prohibition a law was enacted permitting the sale of malt liquor. The result was an increase in the number of commitments to jails from 5,770 to 7,850, Drunkenness, crime and poverty increased, and with the sale of beer permitted, the difficulty of enforcing laws against sale of hard liquors became so great that the prohibition laws were repealed. Georgia tried the same experiment more recently with the same result. “A few newspapers read by very respectable people in Boston and New York do not represent the senti- ment of the American people on the liquor question, and not all men who play golf are drunkards, in spite of the artists who draw comic pictures for the daily papers “Congress, the state legislatures, and the American people have declared against alcohol as a ‘everage, and the benefits derived from national }-vhibition bave been greater than even its advocates dared to hope. Whether we miss our customary drink or not, it doe? no good to whine and cry that we will obey the law against whiskcy if we can have all the beer and champagne we want., National prohibition is a part of the Constitution of the United States, and the Eighteenth amendment wil! not be repealed in order to satisfy men who want their favorite beverages ex- empted from its pro TIMES HAVE CHANGED. The depression of 1892 to 1896 is still remembered by many. The stagnation of today as an aftermath of war does not compare in the distress of the people who were plunged from the prosperity of i888 to 1892 into the gloom of the ensuing four years. It was in the dark days just previous to 1896, that the an- employed organized on the Pacific coast and in the northwest and southwest rec-uiting on the eastward journey to Massilon, Ohio, where the army was or- ganized under General Jacob S. Coxey and proceeded to the national capital to present their protests of the country’s state to President Cleveland and congress. The reception the army received was painted on the sign boards about the capitol grounds—“Keep Off the Grass.” The next year William McKinley was elected president and the country resumed prosperous con- ditions. ‘The Philadelphia Ledger gives the sequel to that fsmous march upon Washington and notes that times have changed. The Ledger tells it thus: “Several years ago a man naméd Coxey started to march to Washington from Massilon, Ohio, with a small army of discontented men, which grew as it moved over the country. The men were discontented because they did not have a larger share of the wealth of the nation. “This week a large company of automobile tourists drew up in front of the capitol in Washington and its leader announced that they were from Massilon and asked to be shown where the Coxey army camped. “*We don’t march now,’ he said. ‘We tour. every car has six cylinders.’ “It is not disclosed whether any of the tourists were in Coxey’s army, but their equipment ought to sug- gest to the discontented that there is a six-cylinder car waiting ‘for everyone of them, who is willing to pay the price in work and thrift.” And eens HUMANIZING THE HOTEL. ‘Lhe New York Times approves the enthusiasm of the Chicago Journal of Commerce over the sugges- tion that the hotel manager should revive “human in- terest” in his patrons when it says: “On their arrival he should welcome them solicitously, inquire as to their plans and wishes, and all during their stay lav- ish upon them ‘those friendly and unselfish attentions which are at the root of human friendshi: kale: The Times has its doubts thus expressed: “This is a pretty large order, especially in the case of a hotel capable of accommodating 2,000 guests. To make them all feel intimately at home a whole army cf bustling humanizers would be required. There is no doubt, something in the idea worth considering. The atmosphere, of some hotels seems to the incoming stranger to be charged with armed neutrality. He has to fight or ‘tip’ his way to what he wants. This sort of thing should be remedied, if only as a matter of busisness, but it may be doubted if the sentimental, heart-to-heart attitude urged by the Chicago paper would please the more discriminating hotel patrons. They would rather resent being gushed over and pat- ted on the back. Good service they of course desire, but they like it to be of the silent and unostentatiou: kind. The man who loves to take his ease in his inn might well flee in disgust from an offensively ‘human- ized’ hotel.” 3 EL Ee What is the league going to do about the little scrimmage now going on between the Spaniards and the Moors?
