This is taken from a Palm Beach press report: A large batch of telegrams and offi- cial mail was taken aboard the house- boat at Fort Pierce and additional matter is awaiting the President here. Mr. Harding and Secretary Christian disposed of a considerable amount of Wwork on the boat during the trip down from Fort Pierce this afternoon. A President’s job is. not easy. A sreat deal of business presented to him is pressing. He cannot take the attitude of “I'll see you later” toward any material portion of it. The government is so well organ- ized, the routine at times seems to run itself. But it never actually does. The master’s eye and hand gre necessary sight along. The wires and the fast mails enable a President to take an occasional out- ing. Only he must not get out of touch with those who remain still “hard at it.” When they call he must be able to respond. N . But the President is resting so far as speech-making is concerned. He has cut out the talks. This may disappoint many people. Mr. Harding has the gift of expres- sion, and there are many subjects these times inviting to discussion. What the man at the head of affairs, familiar with those subjects. and capa- ble of handling them illuminatingly thinks about them naturally produces & desire to hear from him. But he has abundant opportunities when on duty to proclaim himself. and probably he is right in deciding to improve no others. Subsidy and the Merchant Marine. The President's recommendations in the matter of establishing an Ameri- can merchant marine have attracted wide attention. It seems: to be con- ceded in foreign shipping circles that they contain the germs of success; that if Congress will legislate on such lines Amercia will become when the shipping business revives a formidable bidder for ocean freights, and show the Stars and Stripes in every port of commercial consequence in the world. At home here the only criticism so far heard has proceeded from objec- tion to the subsidy feature of the pro- posed policy. That criticism was expected. It has always been voiced'at times of mer- chant marine discussion. ‘Why that feature of the proposed policy should “stick in the craw” ol anybody is by no means clear. A sub- sidy—government assistance—is no new thing in our affairs. On the con- trary, it has been applied with marked success. The greatest of our railroad enterprises received government as- sistdnce at the start, while the prin- ciple, inheres in protection, under ‘which America has become one of the greatest of the manufacturing nations. The fact that we are seeking foreign markets for our products is due to the volume they have reached under gov- ernment stimulation. Once the pacts growing out of the armament conference have been dis- posed of, the way will be clear for the merchant marine measure and the tariff bill; and the debates in Congress on the two subjects will bring out much useful information. . —_—et————————— European statesmen say sardonical- 1y that this country desires to collect the money due it for the purpose of lightening the burden of taxation among our own citizens. They grasp the situation with prompt perspicacity and state it with accurate succinct- ness.

Great Britain is taking practical measures to carry out her engage- ments in the naval limitation pact. In the ‘British house of commons yester- iday the naval estimates for the com- ing year were submitted, showing that it is proposed to reduce the expenses of the effective naval forces by nearly £21,000.000, net. The economies in- volve, the scrapping of twelve capital ships in addition to the eight recently sold; turther reduction of the Atlantic destroyer flotillas, abolition of twenty- seven submarines and other scaling of effective strength. Lord Lee of Fareham, first lord of ! the admiralty, in an explanatory state- ment pointed out, however. that the proposed reductions wouid be justified ; only by the ratification of the naval | {limitation treaty. Lord Lee was one of the British delegates to the Wasiing- jton conference which drafted that {ireaty and éther pacts bearing upon | the peace of the world and the com- | mon sense efforts of nations to elim-{ inate useless expenditures. In the United States Senate, Sena- tor Lodge, also a delegate to the con- ference, has declared that the naval limitation pact. and, indeed, all the work Of that conference, will fail if the pending four-power treaty is re-| jected. Senator Underwood, leader of the minority in the upper chamber, and who was also’ a delegate to' the lconference, has said that the four-| power treaty is the great proposal for | ipeace in the far east. i Thus it would seem from the tdsti- | mony of world statesmen that the sev- | eral treaties are interdependent, wi the four-power treaty as the keystone. 1t 1s generally assumed that the naval | limitation tieaty will be ified nruc-] tically unanimously by the Senate.! The question to which the people of | this country will ask and demand a convincing answer is how can the| Senate justify nullification of the work | of the conference by rejecting the | four-power treaty? ience of women to be held at even a fisty tomato can dare show its face or label. There is satisfaction in, having everything springlike in ‘the sprirg. Summer follows spring, according to the almanac and other authorities. and if one is to have the home spruce and tidy through the charm seasons of the year, one should begin work in the spring. In fact, one need not wait for spring, but might begin the clean- up campaign earlier. We have become quite a martial people, and it is proper that we de- clare war against the weeds, and with full and steady ranks, armed with scythe and sickle, carry the fighting into the enemy's country, the back lot, or the front lot of any unprogres- sive citizen. Such an army of volun- teers as ought to come forward for this spring campaign would strike terror into the breasts, the bristles, the leaves and stalks of the barbarian hordes of burdock, mellilot, jimpson weed, ragweed and cowtail. Onward, soldiers of the spring clean-up cam- paign! X —————— Women and Lawmaking. Lady Astor has under consideration an invitation to visit America in April and attend the pan-American confer- Balti more. She wants to accept, for two rea- sons. America Is the old home. She has not been over since her entrance Into politics, which has given her a wide fame. It is easy to see that she would be a great toast at this Balti- more meeting. Then she would have opportunity to give office-holding by -women a hoost; to explain what it is like to sit in the British parliament and lend a hand to the making of laws. For a short time Lady Astor alone as a woman helper in parlia- ment. But her assertion and success inspired other women. and one other Joined her. She now has company as a woman lawmaker. Our Miss Rankin alone as a woman helper ¢n Capitol Hill during her service in the House. and Miss Robertson is without company of her sex in the present House. But the s t is stirring and spread- sat | HE District of Columbia pos-| The District's mental deficients nuwl sesses between 800 and 300 fegble-minded persons, per- sons who are mentally defi- cient, but who cannot be classed “i sane’” The District of Columbia, on the other hand, possesses no institu- tion, no home in which to care for these deficients. Many of them are children. If they are to be cared for they must be farmed out to iInstitu- tioss in other states. This {s what the District has been doing for years. The nymber of deficiencies has been { of the board of charities. There is no | census of feeble-minded in the Dis- trict, and it is likely that the actual number is considerably In excess of the 900 maximum given by the board members. Seven years ago, in 191 the children's bureau of the Depart- ment of Labor, at the instance of the Board of Charities, made a survey of the city to ascertain how many fecble- ininded there were. This survey show - ed a total of 798 persons who needed some kind of custodial care. Of these, only 97 were listed as being in aj propriate institutions; 249 were put down as being in other institutions, and 452 as “not in institutions” fn seven years the popilution of Wasn- ington has increas~l materially and it is the view of the officials of the: | Board of Charities and Board of Chil-| [ dren's Guardians that the situation m regard to the feeble-minded is wors than it was in 1915 - % ok ¥ | The fact that there is no institution! provided in the National Capital tor the care of thise feeble-minded per- sons is considered a disgrace by many members of Congress. For a number of years efforts have been made to obtain appropriations for the con- struction of a home for the feeble- minded, where they cpuld receive proper care. But the cry of “econ- omy” has blocked the expenditure. Now, for the third time, the Senate has placed in a District appro- priation bill an item for this pro-| Ipused home, and every effort is to be! made to keep the ftem in the bill} now in conference. If the Senate proposal goes through, the District Commissioners will e authorized and directed to acquire a! site for a home and school for vdecble- | |minded persons, to be located in the District of in Maryland or Virginia. Not more than $40,000 of this sum 15| to be used for the purchase of a site. It is further provided that $125.000 shall be immediately available to pur- chase the site and to begin work on the building. At one time the District | authoritics had planned to obtain a site—when Congress should make the appropriation—at or near Camp Hum- | phreys, Va. But the government has) determined to retain that as a per-| dred. estimated conservatively by members; | the District must be kept down for the sake “of economy.

But this plan is not good for the chil- dren or for the homes in which they are placed. These feeble-minded children are supervised as well as possiblé, but they cannot be given | the attention which it is sald they eed. About two hundred feeble- minded children are in charge. But there are 389 on the records who have | been returned to their parents, or, have become twenty-one, and the; families demanded them. * ¥ ¥ ¥ Methods of handling deficient or feeble-minded children have improved greatly in recent years. It is hoped that if the proposed home can be erect- ed here it will be a model and that the best methods for looking after | the children may be adopted. It is testimowy of those who have looked into the matter that marvel- ous improvement may be found in feeble-minded persons who have been given the proper kind of treatment. hief grows out of leav-! seble-minded persons puor cconomy for no institution for is urged by mem- bers of the d of Chariti In | fact, leaving th persons at large is really @ menace o the community.

X e recounts his stofy with merciless wealth of detail. The ant—and he met with about 10,000 species in the course of his wanderings—is apparently ex- cessively human in its frallties. “Three fundamentals guide their lives, like ours; they are: Hunger, sex and fear.

Alas for copy- book maxims, science spares them not. Nor is the worst yet said. For Prof. Wheeler—with the chill, abstract persistence of science—deals yet an- other staggering blow.

BY PHILANDER JOHNSON. Drawing the Line. Heard an argument one day. Angry emphasis arose. It went on in such a way. That it almost led to blows. . Now all hands have settled down To the work that must be done, Often thinking with a frown, Of the loss of rest and fun. Arguments were made, we guess, To bring various views to light. Every kind Is a success— If it doesn't start a fight. A Sense of Fairness. “I should like to subscribe to your campaign fund,” remarked Mr. Dustin Stax. «I couldn’t permit such a thing,” re- plied Senator Sorghum. “My sense of fairness would not tolerate the thought. The last time you subscribed you put in only $10,000 and you took down about a hundred thousand dol- lars’ worth of personal prestige and general publicity for your business.” Jud Tunkins says he gets so tired of being told to make hay while the sun shines that he is tempted to go some- where ‘in the dark and raise mush- rooms. Same General Result. The automobile which displaces The horse plays the same sorry joke. It doesn't mislead us on races, But nevertheless leaves us broke. Kind But Firm. “What would you do if you caught anybody cheating in this poker game?” asked the stranger In Crimson Gulch. “We aim to be fair and humane,” answered Cactus Joe. “We'd simply chip in to pay his board and hire an attendant. Any one attempting any- thing so reckless wouldn't need no further evidence to prove hig right to be let off on an Insanity plea.” “Disrespeck foh de truth,” said Uncle Eben, “often comes f'um lack of sense. A parrot keeps on ‘what comes into his head simply. be- cause he’s too lazy to learn anything new.” 5 E R A Lady Among the Lords. I “Thus does the feminist movement carry another stronghold of long- 'entrenched masculine privilege.” as- serts the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, commenting upon the action of the house of lords committee on privil- eges in granting Viscountess Rhond- da a seat among the peers, a tri- umph, which, in the opinion of the New York Globe, “is chiefly inter- esting as the ultimate achievement of the feminist movement,” since (hel viscountess will be_cume a emberl of one of the most ornamental and least useful legislative bodies in the I waorid.” Further discounting the practical advantage of Viscountess Rhondda's achievement, the Chicago Journal ! calls attention to the possibility that “one of these days there won't be jany house of lords for anybody to g1t in; and there is at least an even ! chance that such a day will come before the gifted daughter of the food controller has a successor or com- panion of her own sex. ® * * At al- most any moment some issue may rise that will range the nation on one side [ and the peerage on the other, and when that happens the hereditary legislators will have to go. The Briton may love a lord, but not énough to stand much interference from him.* “‘Badly 1 they have been dented time and again | in the last fitteen vears or o, the old {notions of the peerage of England ; were given the worst wrench they ! cver reccived” when the viscountess | wag admitted, thinks the Reno Ga-! zette. The effect of this innovation in the house of lords will be seen in a “far larger representation of women in | the apper house of parliament than is ever likely to be had in commons. prophesies the Richmond News-Lead- er, since “as the new theory of suc- cession is extended, it is quite likely that the heiresses of peers in pra tically all cases will take their fa- ther's seats, in default of direct male issue.” “Only a few years ago no- body could have foreseen that the rules which in exceptional cases al- low women to inherit fitles would in 1922 give the house of lords a much larger feminine membership than any other of the leading legislative bodies of the world can show,” states the [New York Herald, assuming that other peeresses entitled to admission | under the decision affecting Vis- countess Rhondda will avail them- selves of the privilege. The Boston ! Transcript thinks that, although the 'new member of lords is ‘‘the repre- sentative and presumably a pre tagonist of the privileges of birth, ]her presence “will certainly add a new and picturesque touch to the proceedings of that body, especially 1% ohe is followed by other ladies who are similarly eligible.” That “the {ory conservatism of the house of lords is in for a shaking up. probably with even more aggressiveness than merked the entrance of Lady Astor into the lower house of parliament,” is the belief of the Wilkes-Barre Record. “With the crippling of its powers the house of lords has lost much of its prestige,” says the Pitts- burgh Chronicle-Telegraph, “but with woman members Who are in sym- pathy with progressive legislation it may obtain a new lease of life. The opening of its doors to women is cer- tainly in line with the spirit of the times.” ;. “Curiously enough,” observes the New York World, “it is all the doing of the daughter of a hard-headed old Welsh mine owner, Taised to the i peernge during the war, who had backed David Lloyd George in his early days when he made :ls fl‘rn olitical appearance as a champion 5{ ‘Welsh l'?nh)nllism. Lady Rhondda T promises to be neither a chronic ab- sentee nor a do-nothing, like most of | the peers who make up its numerous membership.” “If she proves as cap- able in the lords as she has been in business management, this first wom- an peer in modern times should be a decided gain to the ancient house, whose mending or ending is again a campaign topic in Great Britain, in the opinion of the Pittsburgh Dis- patch. “She is a woman of uncom- mon energy, and loves hard work.
