Leadership from the White House in matters of legislation has become an expectation—almost a demand. Mr. Roosevelt asserted himself strongly in that way. He needed no solicitation. It was only necessary for him to know that something of interest was taking shape on Capitol Hill. Without invitation, he wanted to take & hand in it, and often in- dulged himself.

He accepted it on the recommendation that it was the best revision possible in the circumstances. Mr. Wilson, although never a mem- ber of a legislative body, took to leadership on Capitol Hill like a duck to water. He seemed in his element as a factor in Congress, and during six years of his two terms in the ‘White House he was very influential in matters of law-making. His party in Congress not only obeyed but wel- comed his recommendations. Mr. Harding is having his experl- ence. A good many legislative tangles are being put up to him, and he is responding with a good nature likely to increase the number. V| ————— ‘War is no longer popularly regarded as magnificent.

When the plan was proposed to open the school playgrounds to chil- dren during the summer it was esti- mated that $10,000 would be required for the incidental expenses, and that sum was asked of the people of Wash- ington in the form of voluntary con. tributions. Yesterday the fund had reached the point of $855, or about one-twelfth of the required total, after about a week of solicitation. As a result of these contributions nine play- grounds have been opened. This is a very poor response to the appeal. It can hardly be accepted as indicating the actyal degree of interest on the part of the people of the District in the welfare of the children. Washington gives liberally whenever there is urgent need of; funds to save the youngsters from disease or undernutrition. ' It main- tains the summer outing camps gen- erously and supports other charities for the benefi§ of the little folks. But, in this matte® of playgrounds the Sovietism did not get far enough in its theories to solve the elemental cal- culations pertaining to -three meals per day. i s E e R S iR Pl ot e AL iptndods lmperial B The fact that this remarkable increase in SALES is made in a BUYERS' Market— a man such & sense of freedom and Sy AYOTE Lo Ruseln, InAURtEY. the when the most rigorous inspection and comparison of car-values is made by prospectlve i exhilarati United States, offsetting such un- Director Forbes’ Charges. 1 don't know,” replied Mr. Grow- {fi'fi?‘l‘v‘u-’.‘fi'fi."& e buyers—is proof positive that-Studebaker Cars offer the highest Quality at fair prices. cher, “unless it's the privilege of|while ‘fll:.d rg‘,&:"’:g.? ‘m' promenading over the landscape with: | the {ron hand under the velvel glove; 5 S out' being warned to keep off thé{In the ewactity, 1t 1s 8 wonder our l hu isa Studebaker Year 1::1 n. ndnmml rations get ‘rll! 5 :"n as they do.—Muncie uoms" sm- (independent republi- It will be a relief to the world when limitation of armament can be an- nounced as an accomplished fact.
