But the wording is much. A felici- tous phrase, or an apt comparison, carries far in a public document, and yarticularly in a document of unusuall moment. Such a document will be the ad- dress Mr. Harding is scheduled to de- Jiver March 4. The world awaits it with eagerness. Europe is as keen for it as America. Hence, with such an audience—and the audience on its toes—Mr. Hard- ing will score heavily if he sounds the right note and in the right terms when he takes up the duties of the presidency. The guess is that the address will not be long. Some inaugural ad- dresses have covered a good deal of ground—too much to command the proper attention. The shortest of record is that of Washington upon beginning his second term, while the next shortest, and the most exquisite in sentiment and diction, is that of Lincoln upon beginning his second term. It is not expected that Mr. Harding will enter into any particulars as to policies. A few weeks later he will communicate with Congress, and in that message take definite ground upon what he wants done in response to the November mandate, and what he considers feasible in the way of Teconstruction at this time of un- easiness and general dislogation. Community Centers. Stricken out on point of order in the House, restored to a little short of half of its original size in the Sen- ate, the appropriation for the mainte- nance of the community centers has been restored in the House at $35,000. This is gratifying, althoughgunfortu- nately the principle of the District- oational” equities of capital mainte- mance is violated by the imposition of the entire amount upon the local reve- nues. : - These community centers have proved most valuable. They have been educational for the adult popu- lation, have afforded opportunities for wholesome, constructive citizenship activity and have permitted a fuller use of the school building plant, which in past years was not utilized outside ©of school purposes. The centers have been under fire during recent months, last year in the - course of the Senate committee in- vestigation into the school board wrangle and yesterday in the House in the course of debate in which it was alleged that these people’s meet- ing places are scenes of improper rad- ical propaganda. Those who have had to do with the work of community . centers believe them to be wholesome influences'and that the danger of their improper use is safely negatived by careful supervision. —_—— ~ His interest in outdoor sports may make it easier for Judge Landis to view with composure any suggestions that he give up the activitles of the courtroom. —_——— Bootleggers in many sections prefer to use stplen automobiles, in spite _ of the fact that by this time meyl can afford better than most people to bave cars of their own. ———— Paderewski is returning to America , for a rest.

A striking and artistic addition to ' the sculptures in the Capitol, just! , presented and dedicated, forms a fit-| : ting memorial to the services render- ed by three great American women, the triumph of whose work eame un-| fortunately after their death. Susan ! B. Anthony, Lucretia Mott and Eliza- beth Cady Stanton devoted themselves | 10 the cause of the enfranchisement of | women. They worked indefatigably year in and year out to create public sentiment, to win friends for their | cause, to demonstrate the injustice | of continued disfranchisement, and to | establish the principle of federal en- actment. The seed they sowed ripen- ed in later years, but at the time it seemed as though they were sowing on barren ground. Ridicule was heaped upon them. The resistance they met only increased their ardor and determination. Steadily they won adherents, both women and men join- ing their standard of equal rights. Gradually the thought spread and ‘wherever the idea took lodgment it remained. Each advocate in turn be- came an agitating center. Finally the states in the west, of newer set- tlement and less conservative ideas, began to admit women to the ballot. Little by little ground was gained. . State after state joined the list of thoee honering themselves as well as thelr womanhood. Predictions of dis- following this grant of the suf- ‘Were negatived. Nothing hap-, The women of the west proved that they could vote intelligently and dis- criminatingly without losing their womanly characteristics. Finally the east was invaded. A few states on this side of the Missis- sippi granted the ballot to the women. The supreme victory was won when New York went into the suffrage col- umn. After that it was but a question of time when the whole country would be enfranchised. After repeated fail- ures an amendment named in honor of one of the three pioneers was passed through Congress, and was then submitted to the states. The ratification of that amendment was one of the most dramatic incidents in American political history. It was a race against time to get the women fully enfranchised in season for the election of 1920. The women won. They voted. They brought the percentage of American voters up to more than a quarter of the population, the highest point ever reached. Now, in simple marble form an expression of the women’s tribute to their great leaders of the past stands in the Capitol, an appropriate emblem in an appropriate place. The President’s War Fund. In asking for an accounting of the President’s special war fund, amount- ing to $150,000,000, the House of Rep- resengatives is quite within its rights. And, just so, if the President declines to respond with facts he will be with- in his own rights. It is conceivable that certain of the items are of a na- ture to be kept undisclosed for the present. We are still technically at war with Germany. We have yet to make our peace with the enemy for the fighting of whom this fund ‘was provided. But, peace or war ques- tions aside, there remain certain points of propriety which the Presi- dent may decide in favor of further preservation of confidence, And undoubtedly some of these items are subject to proper scrutiny and report. The amount involved is @ large one reckoned on the old basis of government expenditures, though but a trifle in terms of the cost of the war. Yesterday in the House debate on this resolution accusations were made of improper motives in pressing it. There can really be no really im- proper motive from the point of view of federal financial watchfulness. One hundred and fifty million dollars is a t sum to turn over for expendi- ture without any final report. No matter how high the confidence may be, no matter what faith may be felt in the judgment and integrity of offi- cials, good business really demands some reckoning, and it is not precisely fair to accuse those who asked for it of doing so for malevolent purposes. Reference was made in the debate yesterday to the McKinley fund of $50,000,000 voted in connection with the Spanish-American war, and a re- port on which was not submitted until the Senate asked for it more than a year after the close of the war. This may be viewed as a precedent in presi- dential hesitancy “about taking the whole world into confidence on the score of war-time outlays. It serves to show that the executive mind does not always “run along with” that of Congress in point of rendering ac- counts. It will be interesting now to know how far the President will avail himself of the prerogative of denial under the clause “if not. incompatible with the public interests.” ‘White and Hays. ‘Whether Chairman White goes or stays; whether Chairman Hays re. tires promptly upon entering the cabi- net, or holds on for a time, let us not forget that Mr. White is in office by the designation of Gov. Cox, and Mr. Hays by the designation of Mr. Hard- ing. Neither man was a national quantity four years ago. According to custom, Gov. Cox named his campaign manager. It was expected he would name Homer Cum- mings, who was familiar with com- mittee work and the situation through- out the country. But he turned, first to the man who had mansged his campaign at San Francisco, and, upon his refusal, to George White, an old friend, who had retired from poli- tics, but was now persuaded to re- enter. According to the same custom, Mr. Harding named Will H. Hays, then serving as chairman of the republican national committee, as the manager of his campaign, and Mr. Hays ac- cepted. Should Gov. Cox be renominated in 1924, he may again designate Mr. ‘White as his campaign manager. But if Gov. Cox does not try for a second nomination, or trying is defeated, Mr. White will give place to another— some man named by the nominee of that year’s democratic national con- vention. . It Mr. Harding’s administration 1s a success, his second campaign will be so easy it will almost be able to manage itself. It will not be neces- sary for Mr. Hays to retire from the cabinet to resume committee work and insure the re-election of his chief. ———— A Japanese boy of twenty engaged to the eighteen-year-old daughter of an admiral is causing consternation {among Tokio statesmen, owing to the {act that the boy is the crown prince. The young man fin politics is likely to cause some historic disturbance in ariental affairs. ——————— Numerous officials in the retiring administration are applying for mem- bership in the District bar. Wash- ington has exceptional facilities for acquiring the world’s most distin- guished supply of legal talent. Gassing the Cracksmen. A use has been found for mustard gas that may Jjustify its further manufacture, even though the coun- try is not at war with any power and has no prospect of going to war. This baleful concoction may be employed in another sort of warfare. Indeed, it has already been used to defeat bur. glary. At Utica, Mich., several tubes of this material were placed in a bank drilled the safe and blew it. When they started to enter they were driven off by the mustard gas and fled the premises, not only without getting any loot, but actually leaving 85 cents of their own and an expehsive kit of tools behind them. Probably the well equipped bufglar will hereafter go about with a gas mask as well as explosives, electric drills and perhaps acetylene torches. Burglary has become a science, and confronted with this new peril the cracksmen will use scientific methods. But the employment in this instance of mustard gas in Michigan points the way to a most effective means of prevention. Science can be employed on the side of honesty and security as well as in opposition. Perhaps here- after the post of chemist will be quite as important in bank organization as that of cashier. ! Cabinets and States. The question has been raised at St. Augustine as to the appointment of two cabinet officers from the same state. The thing has been done. In forming his first cabinet Mr. Cleveland appointed Daniel Manning of Albany Secretary of the Treasury and W. C. Whitney Secretary of the Navy. Both men were master poli- ticians, and had rendered Mr. Cleve- land valuable campaign service. Mr. Manning died late in 1887, and was succeeded by Charles S. Fairchild, an- other New Yorker. Thus during the whole four years New York had two of her sons at the cabinet table. ‘W. H. H. Miller of Indiana was President Harrison’s Attorney Gen- .eral. In the summer of 1892 Mr. Blaine, who was Secretary of State, left the cabinet, in order to run for the republican nomination for Presi- dent. John W. Foster, an Indiana man, and one of the most accom- plished diplomats developed by the republican party, was appointed to the vacancy. Thus Indiana had two sons at the Harrison cabinet table at the same time. In Mr. Wilson’s first cabinet New York had three sons—Robert Lansing, ‘W. G. McAdoo and Mr. Redfield. For awhile Texas had two sons—Attorney General Gregory and Postmaster Gen- eral Burleson. And in the second cabinet, now on the eve of petire- ment, Pennsylvania, a rock-ribbed re- publican stronghold, has two sons— Attorney General Palmer and Secre- tary of Labor Wilson—though the state last year gave the republican national ticket a plurality of nearly seven hundred thousand votes. | Some of Europe's financial experts are in danger of contemplating the United States Treasury wigh the an- noyance a man feels when he finds himself with a check on which pay- ment has been stopped. !

BY PHILANDER JOHNSON. Supervision. Ever since mankind began to think, it has been known That each man is entitled to opinions of his own. z Opinions are like children whom we censure or adore. Our own are quite angelic. others are a bore. ‘Those of Opinions from the soap box which give reasoning a wrench, Opinions from the pulpit and opinions from the bench, Each person wants to tell us what to praise and what to blame.

Seeking Seclusion. “You said you were going on a fish. ing trip.” “I' am,” replied Senator Sorghum. “But I'm going to take a lot of cor- respondence and a stenographer. Tt will. be one of the fishing trips that do not particularly disturb the fish.” Slow to Register. A little longer shines the sun Before the day fades into night. The difference has not yet begun To show in bills we pay for light. Uninfluenced. “Does your wife influence your vote?" “Not at all,” replied Mr. Meekton. “Henrietta wants me to vote accord- ing to my own ideas; but it is re- markable how thoroughly my views always coincide with hers after she has taken the trouble to express them and to assure me that she is perfectly willing to go on elucidating until I tully comprehend.” Circumstances. “Isn't that a pretty- slow rail- road?” Editorial Digest Scrapping the Dreadnaught. The attack on “capital ships” by pow- erful minorities in both England and America seems to find them as vulner- able, in the eyes of the press, as the aircraft and submarine enthusiasts de- clare they are in battle. For the most part, American writers support the views of Gen. Mitchell of the air service, who declares that for the price of one banlgshln we could make the country "_-h:_tlght from attack by land, sea and air.” = Testimony against the capital ships in Britain and Admiral Sims’ views in this country seem to be more sympathetically received than the ex- pert opinion of the navy board. There are exceptions among_the news- papers, however, and the Sioux City (lowa) Journal (republican) falls in with the board's opinion that ‘“every new weapon of offense that has threat- ened the supremacy of capital ships has Been met by a successful mode of de- fense.” Expert naval opinion “has not helped much” to settle the question eifher way, the Baltimore News (democratic) re- marks, especlally since the other powers cannot agree. The New York Times (independent democratic) also regrets that we ‘“are not so well prepared as might be wished ® * * to demonstrate the destructive power of the plane and the vulnera- bility of the battleship,” while the Flor- ida Metropolis (democratic) points out that “air strength in itself cannot ever be the biggest factor in either defensc or offense,” and, while this branch of the military is “entitled to encourage- ment,” it should not, despite Gen. Mitchell's idea, be developed “at the expense of the other arms of the serv- ice.” The St. Louis Post-Dispatch (in- dependent) considers that the conflicting evidence on hand prompts caution in any large outlays at present. Granting the arguments of the naval board that ‘“‘marine inventors have not been at a standstill and methods to meet the submarine and airship are being in- stalled with some success,” the Denver Rocky Mountain News (independent) nevertheless feels that the country should take cognizance of the fact that “the world's brains are converging on ;entling the great ship to the scrap- eap.” The Indianapolis News (independ- ent) sees the “testimony on both sides of the ocean piling up in favor of air navies” and argues that “if the air- ship is dangerous to the battleship today, it will be vastly more danger- ous even one year from now, so swift is the development taking place,” and concludes that “there is nothing wild in the belief that we are approach- ing a new era in naval warfare.” While supporting this theory in gen- eral, the Lexington Leader (repub- lican) reminds its readers that “it has been intimated that foreign gov- ernments, unable to compete with the United States in the bullding of battleships, now forming the unit strength of all navies, are spreading propaganda calling in question the value of such ships in order to -halt our building :program.” ‘When it comes to a debate in which one side is all for the airship and the other all for the battleship. the Dav: ton News (democratic) thinks that “both sides are right and both are wrong.” It continues: “The Navy in the future will require a strong air force in the event of some conspicuous engagement, while the airmen in themselves cannot be fully protected against enemy attacks without aerial guns and complete equipment now carried on first-class and modern sea fighting machines. It is obvious that the aeroplane and the battleship should co-ordinate their effectiveness in making possible the best possible protection to the country in the mat- ter of defense.” ‘The New York Globe (independent) also sees mo reason to slight one branch for the other. “Whatever we do about our battleships, then, we had better reconsider limiting our Army air appropriation to $19,200.000,” but meanwhile “we should study very hard over the idea of getting rid of the armament idea, for “airplanes will be, like battleships, costly, and they will smother us with mustard gas or phosgene.” The lessons of the re- cent war, says the New York Post (Independent), show reasons enough why aerfal defenses ““can no more be neglected than sea and land de- enses” and “airplanes are cheap in comparison to battleships.” If the experts are to be relied upon the Columbla (8. C.) State (demo- cratic) declares that the leading pow- ers are still “building navies that have been obsolete for some time," and if in the “impossible” next war our enemy should possess airplanes and submarines now contemplated, ‘“commanding the air and the sea” the only safe place “for our jackies would be on shore leave.” The Career of Jan Smuts. Gen. Smuts will have a clear majority of twenty or twenty-two in the new parliament of South Africa. In other words, South Africa has voted to stay in the British empire and that by an unexpectedly large majority. Doubtless the statesmen of London are breathing easier, but they are not the only ones to feel relief. Even people who care nothing for the issues involved rejoice at the victory of Smuts. He has had the most amazing career of any man now. owning a tithe of his promi- nence in public life. Boer by birth and blood, he fought the British heroically in the South African war. He accepted the peace, and took part in pyblic affairs under |, the new government which made the Unlon of South Africad virtually an independent state within the British empire. When the great war came, he stuck to his allegiance, helped to suppress his old comrades who tried to revolt, conquered the German col- onies in Africa. He was one of the greatest figures at the peace confer- ence, and was acclaimed—and right- ly—as one of the small circle of truly great statesmen. Now he shares with Lloyd George the distinction which belongs to the two allied leaders who have not been swept aside by post-war discontent. Fate has not often packed more ro- mance than this into the span for twenty years.—Chicago Post (demo- cratic). ‘Women’s Business Names. ‘We have been used for a good many years to the retention by married women of their maiden names for soclal, busin nd professional pur- poses. But a “movement” is under way, launched by the Woman Pays Club of New York, for the continued use, generally, by married women of their malden names. They are going to Legin by getting things right on legui documents, with a campaign educating lawyers and bankers and governmental departments, and then proceed to sweep the other flelds where women's names appear. Wom- en have not usually asked for the restoration of their maiden names except in petitions for divorce, but now happy wives are concertedly and after long deliberation and with no waning of affection going to psk for the return of that with whiCh they varted under a too emotional excite- wrent.
