Mr. Harding's initial trouble will spring from the impatience that ex- 3u- ists both in this country and in rope. Everything, everywhere, very much awry. Two vears after the signing of the armistice condi- tions are still unsettied. In some «quarters grumbling has swelled into @ rage. People want their distresses relieved “right off the bat, like that.” The argument is this: Ever since election day Mr. Harding has been conferring with leading men and women of both parties as to the home | situation and the world situation, an what is demanded for setting things right again. Why, then, should he not be ready with his remedies, and @pply them at once after taking charge? The answer is that the matter is not so simple as that. Far from it! “The propesition is the stiffest and most far-reaching ever presented to an American President. 1t cannot be settled off-hand, while you wait.

A great deal depends upon it, and Mr. Harding does -not unduly magnify its value. German Junkerism. A.story comes from Berlin to the effect that a young army licutenant has recently committed suicide in con- ditions that reveal a profitable secret organization of junkers. It seems that this man was a member of an oath- bound society, pledged, it is believed, to the restoration of the monarchy. A spendthrift, he exhausted his patri- mony in loose living, and while in straits for funds betrayed the plans of the re: ment. Th the von Kapp reaction failed, for the Ebert organization was ready to resist it. During the past few months the junker-bund has been ferreting out the line of leakage and finally, it is understood, traced the betrayal to this voung officer. He was notified that his death by suicide was decreed. If he did not Kill himself he would be slain. His own father, the story runs, bLeing one of the organization, con- ed the information to him. He kened and received a second warn. Wi {ing, and finally, pressed with a last notice, he took his own life lately in Berlin. < This tragic tale is not beyond belief. The junker spirit is strong in Ger It is altogether likely that it t for years. It may never And while it re- mains it will promote secret sedition.

There on the east steps rises a small stand | ‘within which the President will take the cath of office. It is the simplest arrangement for many decades. It would be idle to say that Wash- iagton rejoices in this departure from the customary treatment of Inaugu- ration day. On the contrary, it re- grets the passing of a function that has meant so much to the people of the eountry and has drawn so large @ number of them here to gain patri- otic inspiration from direct contact with the administrative organism of government. Yet the decision to simplify the in- suguration to the lowest possible terms has been accepted and respect- €d, and the people of Washington have conformed to it cheerfully and with life go, an old man. He is just com- pleting his seventy-first year. He taken things rather easily in re- cent months without remitting in any degree from his intense devotion to duty. Fortunately the speakership responsibilities have been lightened in recent times, but no change of rules and distribution of authority in the House could really lift the burden rest- ing upon the shoulders of so con- entious a public official as Champ ark during the period of the war, throughout which he presided over the lower branch of the national leg-. islature. At this time there is reason to look for Mr. Clark’s recovery.

Harding and Merchant Marine. Mr. Harding is a stanch champion of an American merchant marine, and pledges his administration to aid in its revival. Speaking at Jacksonville yesterday he said: “We owe it to the world to estab- lish real conditions of confidence and friendship; such relations as will bring about an association founded on understanding and confidences founded on trade and on constant contact. 1 would rather have indis- soluble ties of righteous trade pro- mote international friendship than all the compacts ever written in the world.” This gives to the proposition new weight, and adds to its claims upon attention.

However, there is just enough disagree- ment with this explanation to make the statement of the Christian Science Mon- itor (Boston, jindependent) worthy of consideration, when it says that “the ordinary observer may inquire where he will,” his answer will be *“colored by the personal bias or ignorance of the answerer."” The Monitor is the only paper entirely independent of Non-Partisan L] connections which goes to as great a length to examine the league’'s side of the dispute. “A New York daily,” it says, “which is supposed to reflect most sympathetically the interests of Wall street finance,” has ‘virtually prophe- sied” the crash of the Dakota bank in dispatches whose ‘“pessimistic intima- tions have filled considerably more space in T the newspaper's crowded colu: are ordinarily claimed by the ate bank.” Thus we read, ‘that Minneapolis and Chi- have declined to unde e been contemplated ng the state bank on Dakota” the New York Globe (inde- pendent) admits, and the question is whether there has been “a deliberate refusal on the part of city bankers to do for a really sound non-partisan in- stitution what they have done else- where for private institutions.” The Duluth Labor World declares that the “money trust” has already “boycotted North “Dakota” a punishment be- cause “the state had the,boldness to enter the realm of ‘private’ business.” Defending its own course, the Partisan League gives the following explanation of the ation through ion is the product of the war, then post-war period, then of the robbery of the farmers on prices. And the responsibility for the situation lies between the administra- tion in Washington, the Federal Re- serve Board, Wall street and the grain gamblers. ‘The Tthaca (N. Y.) Journal-Ne: Idemndpnn grants that while may have been me indiscreet inancing” of the state bank, it cannot ‘be regarded as proved,” and in any case “to attribute nditions in the rthwest” to activities of the league absurd.” The Rochester Times-Union (inde- pendent) considers it ‘‘unfortunate” that Dakota tried a “novel and ex- pensive” experiment in a bad time, but it feels that “revision of state laws to meet the terms of a group of bank- ers would be even more startling” than anything fathered by the Non- Partisan League. The Rocky Mountain News (inde- pendent) says: “North Dakota under- took to do for itself what cannot be done by a single state in this day and generation. In this day of bureau- cracy and federalism and foreign lan: lordism we cannot condemn a state for seeking to assert its right, but this must be done seemingly and with regard to economic law.” No “suspicion of dishonest methods,” remarks the Lexington Leader (re- publican). but “downright denial of the validity of ecomomic principles” is to answer for the “flasco.” Townley's “bubble” has “burst,” says the Chatta- nooga Times (democratic). The Louls- ville Courier-Journal (democratic) lays it to “amateurish—if Utopian—method of disbursing mone; Substitution, the St. Paul Pioneer-Press (independ- jent) calls the movement of “banks run by politicians for banks run by bank- ers.” To the Topeka State Journal (independent republican) it is simply “governmental meddling with busi- nees.” The explanation of the action of the bankers in refusing to take up the bonds of the state is given by the New York Times (independent demo- cratic): “They don’t want to sell the bonds because there is doubt as to their validity, because the league is divided into hostile factions about the transaction, because the bonds have been peddled about in Chicago and New York by irresponsible persons and have lokt credit with investors: be- cause, principally and fundamentally be- cause, the bankers feel that the public has no appetite for bonds of a social- ist and because, naturally, they don’t want to seem to prescribe a_sys- tem of government to the North Dakotans. So Mr. Townley’s econo- mists are left to stew in their own juice.” Pure Stupidity. A news item from Scotts BIuff, Neb., inspires the editor of the South- ast’ Missourian of Cape Girardeau to an explanation of why young folks leave home. It is very simple. The city fathers of Scotts Bluff passed an ordinance forbidding all forms of dancing and motion pictures. They passed a curfew law forbid- ding any persons under twenty-one years of age from being away from home after 8 o'clock in the evening. Then the young people of Scotts Bluff packed up their valises and sought new worlds to conquer. 8 After reciting these facts the Mis- souri editor draws the natural con- clusion, but adds: “And yet Scotts Bluft fathers and mothers this very day are wondering why it is that their sons and daughters look with desire at railroad trains to the out- side world.” He doesn't give the Scotts Bluff parents credit for much intelligenc Perhaps he is right. He assumes the city fathers are repre- sentative of the family fathers. But there is one point which he overlooks or touches so subtly that it is in danger of being lost entirely. Ignorance, stupidity, abstraction or some equally dangerous characteristic allows the parents of this Nebraska community to allow their children to be driven away by rigid and ridicu- lous laws which deprive them of lib- erty. lLater they awake to the fact that the children are gone, but do not even then recognize the cause of the los A similar situation obtains through- out the country. Ignorant, stupid, abstracted or otherwise unbalanced citizens go about their own narrow livy while the energetic but de- luded minority get together and slip over laws which leave them dazed. Scotts Bluff is representative of the United States.—Chicago Daily Trib- une (independent republican). Mr. Harding’s Cabinet. The general and fair-minded ver- dict on the new cabinet will be that it 18 s good as reasonable men could have expected. It is not a cabinet of all the talents, but nobody in his po- litical senses supposed that it would be. Mr. Harding is amiably of the opinion that the country will be “proud” of his cabinet. The proba- bility is that the country will wait to see what the cabinet does to give reason for pride. But there will be no hesitation in approving the majoj appointments, with the exceptipn os that of Attorney General. If Mr, Hoover finally decides to cast in his i lot with the Harding administration, he will add to it a great reputation— a kind of glamour—which should more than offset the dislike of him mani- fested by many politicians, To both Mr. Harding and his cabi- net the American people are mora than ready to extend good wishes and to accord fair play.

Dr. Edwards, a practicing phy= cian for 17 years and calomel’s old-time enemy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating patients for chronic con- stipation and torpid livers. r. Edwards’ Olive Tablets do not contain calomel, but a healing, soothing vegetable laxative. No griping is the “keynote” of these little sugar-coated, olive-col- ored tablets. They cause the bowels and liver to act normally. They never force them to unnatural ac- tion. If you have a “dark brown mouth”—bad breath—a dull, tired feeling—sick headache—torpid liver —constipation, you’ll find quick, sure and pleasant results from one or two of Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets at_bedtime.
