When President Harding yesterday Iaid before the Senate the treaties srowing out of the conference on the Lmitation of armament and far east- ern questions, he delivered one of the greatest addresses ever heard within or without the Senate chamber. It was great not primarily because of elegance of diction or flight of oratory, but be- cause of its logic, its plain common , Sense and its profound and eloquent impressiveness.

Here are seven treaties of admitted beneficence, undertaken at the in- ,._stance of the ‘Hational legislature, and negotiated in the full light of day by ‘Tepresentatives of the two branches of government charged by the Constitu- tion with responsibility; submitted with fullest information as to every consideration which influenced their making. As the President told the “ Senate, failure umder such circum- stances to ratify the agreements “ would “render future efforts futile or unlikely.” g Roosevelt and Publicity. A collection of Roosevelt documents and relics is on view at the New York Public Library, and large numbers of repair. Why should it not do its own work rather than ask for bids from private establishments. The Washington naval gun factory i3 equipped for much more than mere gun-making. It is a general machine shop. Its employes are capable of do- ing work along any line. If some of the Shipping Board repair work were allocated to the local yard it could be as well done as anywhere else. It may be that most if not all of the 1,350 em- ployes who were furloughed on Thurs- day without warning, and who are now asking reinstatement to active duty, could be kept at work on Ship- ping Board jobs. To that end it is to be hoped that the amendment proposed yesterday in the Senate will be adopt- ed and will become law without delay. ——————— Theatrical producers who protest that the public will resent any addi- tional ticket tax may have an oppor- tunity to rise to an emergency by put- ting on attractions which compel popu- persons are inspecting it.

Roosevelt has just been presented to the association by the widow of Charles Carroll Post of Gloster, N. J. The late Mr. Post’s « admiration for Col. Roosevelt im- pelled him as far back as 1899 to be- gin a Roosevelt scrapbook, and from , then on the collection grew until it filled twenty-four quarto volumes, with two additional volumes of news- Ppaper cartoons. .No American of his generation at- tracted so much attention, or was the subject of so much spoken and written comment, as Theodore Roosevelt. He ‘was many-sided; and whether viewed as politician, soldier, student, sports- man, writer, ranchman or explorer, he possessed qualities which not only fixed attention but aroused admiration. Many men and women tried their “tongues or pens on him while he lived, and many others have done so since .. his death. 4. A literature is springing up around ““his name; and in time it will bulk large. He is going down to posterity with a picturesque approval seldom equaled.

[ 3 The President to the Farmers. In a letter read at Crookston, Minn., . Yyesterday, at a farm crop and live “=stock fair being held there, President ___Harding said: “In the {’encm.l industrial and busi- ~ness situation there is much te justify X ‘sonfidence that we are well past the 4% worst -phases of the agricultural erisis, t improvement is well be- n and that it will continue stead- from this time forward.

Speeding Up. 4 As a spur to legisiation by the pres- ent Congress it is suggested that the next is not likely to be called in extra session; that the full period of nine months will in all probability mark the end of the Sixty-seventh Congress and the beginning of the activity of its suc- cessor. . F Mr. Wilson called in extra session the Congress that had come in with him. There was much to be done. Six- teen years of republican control had made large and difficult the task of the party .pledged to revise nearly the ‘whole of the republican record. So Mr. Wilson, reasoning that the sooner the task was undertaken the better, set Congress at once to work, and kept it on the job until a,considerable portion of the job had been executed. Mr. Harding pursued the same course, and for much the same reason. | only the task of the republicans was larger. It had to do with many ques- tions raised by the war, and with old questions the war had affected. If the democrats carry the .next House, an extra session of the new Congress will be inadvisable, for the reason that little, if anything, could be accomplished. A deadlock on many matters would be inevitable. If the re- ublicgns continue in full coatrol on fied approval of the record, will be willing to wait for further features along the same lines. ! Pressure for legislation between now and March 4 of next year is going to be strong and constant, and it should secure many measures the country de- sires and stands in need of. ———e—————— Neighborhood House. The oldest settlement house in Washington is raising its annual bud- get of $10,000, with an additional $1,000 needed to make necessary re- pairs to the roof. Neighborhood House needs no igtroduction to those whoare interested in social welfare. Its work has been going on for many years, and its sphere of beneficent influence has widened with the passing. But others who have accepted life in the National Capital as they have found it, not bothering with affairs of other people, can have little idea of what such a-place as Neighborhood House 1s, or what it does, unless they personally investigate the settlement. It_constitutes one of the most inter- esting experiments of a great city. Nelghborhood House stands in the wharves area not far from the foot of Tth street. Here children of the neigh- borhood are cared for by trained ‘workers, without any taint of patron- izing the parents, and here children of all ages are taught useful work. The settlement is famous for its rugs woven from rags, and for various dyed stuffs. The girls are taught sew- ing and housekeeping, and the boys various manual accomplishments. Besides a kindergarten there are various clubs for older boys and girls, where all sorts of social activities go forward. Every spring the children who yse Nelghborhood House give & series of plays, culminating in a'May- pole festival. In the rear of the settle- ment is a “back-yard theater.” Every- body should be acquainted with this settlement, as a fine example of its type. The necessity for raising its budget will then become apparent to any one. The Senate and the Pacts. The difference between the proceed- ings in Paris three years ago and those just concluded in this town is not more marked in any particular than in that relating to the Senate. At the Paris conference the Senate was not taken into the calculatiofis at all. It seemed to be assumed, if the matter was thought of, that the Sen- ate would ratify whatever in the way of a treaty might be laid before it. President Wilson’s signature was re- garded as sufficient. The English, the French, the Italian, the Japanese dele- gates seemed to accept that as the finality so far as the United States was concerned. At the conference here the Senate was very much in the picture from first to last. The presence as dele- gates of Mr. Lodge and Mr. Under- wood was a constant reminder of the Senate, and of its share under the Constitution in the treaty-making power of the government; and not a celegate in attendance from any for- eign government was without knowl- edge that the pacts negotiated by the conferenct would be subject to the Senate’s approval. . The Senate, of course, received no more consideration than was its due, but it received all of thdt, and in a way to impress the visitors with its importance in the American scheme of things. That the pacts will be ratified is the confident belief of those of their supporters who with_favorable oppor- tunities have canvassed the situation. ——————————— Statisticians who estimate that Chi- cago has only 10,000 professional crim- inals pay the western metropolis an inadvertent compliment.

O, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1922. Reduced Prices on All Painting Of Numerous National Bodies|| zsz s s ASHINGTON, the nation’ capital, is rapidly becomin - the headquarters for na- tional organizations of po- litical, industrial, financial and edu- catlonal interes A survey of the various bpdles which have moved their headquarters to this city in or- der to be in close touch with national affairs shows an imposing list of organizations which have their main offices or some form of representa- tion here, This is & perfectly logical and nat- ural movement in View of the steady growth and importance of Washing- ton in national affairs. Since the war executives of these organizations have come to realize that it is both expedient and necessary to have rep- resentation in the National Capital. The war undoubtedly gave impetus to this movement, as Washington then became the center of world affairs. During the last five years the number of these headquarters which have been established here has grown by leaps and bounds.’ * ok ok % Probabiy the largest of these or- sanizations, and one which has for [a long time beeh cognizapt of the 1 importance of representation In ‘Washington, is the Chamber of Com- merce of the United States. This body, composed of over 1,500 con- stituent bodies, not only has its na- tional headquarters here, but plans to erect, in w-snmgzon a magnifi- cent building at 17th and H streets costing in the neighborhood of $2,000,000. Eefore the war large organizations which were national in membership and character generally made their headquarters near the center of the membership. Consequently the mid- dle west cities—Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit and others—due to their ac- cessibility for the largest number, were the cities selected. » ‘The ciiange which was bound to come is now here. Washington, the center of national affairs, is now be- Ing chosen as the logical point where headquarters should be established. * x x % Some of the largest of these or- ganizations established here are: Na- tional Industrial - Conference Board, American Mining Conference, South- ern Hardwood Traffic, Association, National Lumber Manufacturers’ As- soclation, National Assoclation of the Chemical Association of the United tates, Proprietary Assoclation, Fed- erated American Engineering Socie- ties, Associated Industries of Mas- NwW. .

The New York Globe (in- dependent) finds it “almost impos- sible to give any adequate explana- tion of why the Iowa leader accept- ed the appointment,” since, as the Oregon Journal (Portland, independ- ent) has it, he was “too big and too useful @ man to be taken from the Senate and buried in a federal judgeship.” * ! Asnumhel' of papers, however, find reason enough in the senator's own mental attitude, for, according to the Philadelphia Public Ledger (inde- pendent), he has been “sick at heart over ‘Newberryism,’ piqued, disil- lusioned, tired of the Senate and of politics™; tired, the Dayton {Ohio) News (democratic) continues, ‘of the progressive fight he has been making against the strongly in- tranched and what to him must have seemed at times insufferable reac- tionaries in the United States Sen- ate.”” So, with “the public welfare department which he longed for not yet established: the excellent con- stitutional amendment which he fa- vored giving the President the power to veto individual items in an ap- propriation bill still only a dream; the packers still free from the fed'-‘ eral control he would put upon them, he passes, the New York Times .gln- dependent democratic) says, to ‘“the studious and quiet usefulness of the ‘bench.” eVV‘I’Ille the Springfleld (Mo.) h,‘der (democratic) observes that he “did the best thing for Kenyon” in accept- ing the appointment, “which would not have been declined by any mem- ber of the Senate,” the Des Mojnes Capital (republican) rather hutl"y re- torts that- the senator , was ‘fully justified” in making the change in his service to the public, since “his am- bition has long ‘been to serve on the tench,” a capacity in which, the paper holdsd, “he will have oppor- tunity to follow the same ldeflls tha he has pursued in the Senate. Because of those ideals the Phila. delphia Bulletin (independent rephlb- lican) regards his appointment “an admirable one,” for, as the Minnesota Star (Minneapolis, independent) de- clares, “a man of Kenyon's type is certainly needed on the bench.’ He will “bring to the bench that human quality of which it is in great need, the Norfolk (Neb.) News (independ- ent) believes, and, therefore, the Omaha World-Herald (independent) considers his appointment “a distinct gain for the federal judiciary,” as the Jowa senator is “just the type of man ‘most needed in that great and power- ful branch of the national govern- ment,” possessing, the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette - (democratic) % feels, “an instinctive !lnllle gx{u!:‘ceéaid - But, nting al s praise o‘luhh qualifications as judge, ‘many writers agree with the Green Bay Press-Gazette (independent) that his going is “a greater.loss to th Senate than gain to the judiciary, 8nd, as the Duluth Herald (independ enit) puts it, “nobody is going to b especially happy about the change. Mr. Kenyon “is needed where he is, the Grand Rapids Herald (independ- ent) asserts, for “the United States Senate is none too strong today in its personnel at best, and its standing with the country is none too good, while the New Orleans States (demo- cratic) feels that “no man in the body commands more generally the relpec_f and esteem of the whole country.’ Jowa ‘“loses,” comments the Sioux City Tribune (independent), she “has been proud of her junior senator and the Journal (republican) of the same city feels that the state “will miss the strength that he has con- tributed to the battle for righteous- ness and square dealing.” Indeed, “there will be general regret through the west,” the Rocky Mountain News (Denver, independent) thinks, for, as the St. Paul News (independent) “ex- presses it, his withdrawal from lfle 1 vast Senate “is a bitter blow to the jcultural interests” of tha country. precisely because of the power was developing in support of these ;l.“lfl: "lv:.hlt lfllcflllu;:l nte: as of the agrarian bloc many - editors: find folllowed.

The device is called ‘kicking him upstairs.’” That this is what happened to Kenyon is “as plain as the nose on one's face.” the Flori- da Metropolis (Jacksonville, demo- cratic) contends, and many writers, chiefly democratic, agree. Kenyon was a thorn in the side of the admin- istration,” the Newark News (inde. pendent) asserts, and “an executive gesture to which he bows takes him out of the picture, killed by kindness.” In any event, the Birmingham News (democratic) ' is. convinced that the kindness “was not al % kindn altogether gulle. * * W22 2 200 % Educated Illiterates. l As ah corrective for “illitéracy | Y among the educated,” Dr. McCracken president of Vassar College, presents utions on the si reading. ‘They are: st “First—That we will rememb. hat we read. 1t would be far et of us if we re: remembered more, "o "o 1°%8 and | o “Second—That we rd—That we will apply what we read.
