It has a political motive, but it may have mischievous results. Meanwhile the allied troops have reached their objectives. Harding's Hobby. President Harding has a hobly disclosed the fact rday at the Press Club entertainment at which several public men spoke of their particular pet diversions and fancles. The President's hobby is one that will appeal to all men. It is to help the “down and out.” He is in a position now to ride it to good effect Mankind needs encouragement and help. There is much suffering in the world and there is much heartsickness. America, it has been said, ix oppor- tunity, and as America prospers and develops the opportunity greater and richer. Now the executive pledges himself to seek “t He vest ceomes find the touch that transforms the dismppointments of vesterday into the fruition of tomorrow.” It is a mission in which the people will help. —_——— Berlin is having than t usual gitation involved making up a tax return. more mental Russian Revolutionists. The Rusfian revolution begins to look really serious, although some of the leaders of the movement declare that the outbreak is premature. A plan seems to have been formed for a general uprising a few months hemce. Possibly this precipitate a tion in the north may cause the fail ure of the attempt to overthrow the bolshewik power. But the encourag- ing fact remains that a spirit of revolt is present in Russia and is widespread Heretofore the strength of lh-- soviet government has lain in the that it has been able, acting frnm an in- terfor position, to concentrate forces from any direction against any neighborhood or provincial outbreak. There has been no simultaneous re- action from the soviet authority on a large scale. ‘i | The last heard from Goldman she I may e« a stable, well ned Rus- fsia, t h the process of attaining| 21 that-point may be full of tragedy and} sire the fullest and latest information | on the subject is natural, and that he has chosen 1.

The President and Legislation. The President will soon address Congress on the subject of legisla- tion. What he will recommend and { in what term: anybody's guess. As to the tariff it is a safe guess that he will recommend protection. The Chicago platform declared for that policy, and the poliey harmonizes with the inaugural address. ‘The| ;udllr--ss celebrates America first, free and independent, and that is what a protective riff is designed to pro-| ection we had ad- vanced to a commanding place as a producing nation before the war broke and had established a standard !

In that course he will succeed. —_———— so with other subjects. i | The reorganizers of the democratic party hope at least to find a way to prevent a huge percentage of the membership from voting with the re- —————— In the base ball world salaries are, rule, large enough to prevent |any overwhelming appeal to the sym- {pathies of Judge Landis when acting as a as arbite —————— The most convineing evidence that some kind of government is the constant series of re- there The Invasion. ved on the map, the German oceupied by the French, British and Belgian troops is very small, but it is an extremely important piece of territory.

The minority in both branches wiil be equally fortunate. Mr. Kitchin is thoroughly familiar with House pro cedure, and rated an orthodox democrat. This is t at a time when heterodoxy is causing trouble in democratic ranks. In the Senate Mr. Underwood, who had his training in leadership in the House, will cross swords with Mr Lodge, while Mr. Simmons, who has been a member of the finance commit tee for part of the time as chairman, will face Mr. Penrose. Partisanship for the sake of parti sanship will, in the nature of things, be less in evidence than usual. The situation is too grave for such indul- gence. Both parties being responsi- ble for it must in some things co- operate to relieve it.

U'pon the central question confront- ing his_administration—our foreign policy—President Harding's position is distinctly reassuring. The in- augural confirms what the well known character of Mr. Hughes had already promised: That our relation | to world problems arising out of the war is to be approached in an en- lightened spirit. When he deals with the specific problems of International economics Mr. Harding is not quite at ease. “Pregerved American standards,” he says, “require our higher production costs to be reflected in our tariffs on imports.”” And two sentences later: “We seek participation jn the world's exchanges. ¢ We know full well we cannot sell where we do not buy.” High tariffs certainly A, »t aim at enabling us to buy, and ordingly, Harding’s own Irl soning, ilitate our sell- ing. Here is one of the most dif- ficult problems of the new administra- tion. In its solution we may see a revival of the old division between | stund-pat and progressive republicans. An inaugural address, however, knows “no factions; it is usually ful not to know even parties President Harding deavoring to speak ciliation. But ultinately he will Fave to choose.

Again and again a oloudy sage in his inaugural is abruptly succeeded by a straightforward statement, as: “We gan reduce th abnormal expenditures. and we will” “I speak for administrative eflicien cy”: and. best of all, I had rather submit our industrial controversies to the conference table in advance than to a settlement table after conflict and suffering.” President Harding faces a task of readjustment at home and abroad that calls for all his ppwers of de- cision. He has to deal with an ac- cumulation of problems, all_elamor- ing for immediate solution. The short session of Congress just ended did less to clear up some pressing mat- ters than he had.hoped. These will is in favor of con- obviously en- have to be taken up afresh at the extra session, which he will summon shortly. “ortunately people are aware of these complexities and dis- posed to make every allowance for the difficulties of the general situa- n. President Harding enters upon his sdministration in an atmosphere of good will. In addressing himself to his great tasks he has the best wishes of the entire country without distinction of party. — New York Evening Post (independent).
