President Harding faces today what may prove to be the greatest crisis of his administration, and one of the most serious with which any Presi- dent has lLeen confronted. There is encouragement and gratification in the knowledge that he is facing it calmly step which may seem like abridgement of personal liberty, but determined that the welfare of the whole people shall not be overridden in service of the selfish interests of the few. or later there must come a determination whether this country is to be ruled by a majority of its peo- ple tarough the orderly processes of their government or by minorities which are Iy organized and in control of the means of essential pro- 1€ the test is to come now, it be flinched. kxercise of the full powers of government to control coal production and railroad trans- portation would take the nation into unexplored fields of administration, end no man can foresee to what end the undertaking might lead, but if the adventure must be made the gov- ernment can be assured that it will duction. must ¥ of it the overwhelming the American people. Americans never have failed to re spond to the call of duty when the life of the nation was at stake. and the natioral life is menaced as surely to- dmy as it ever was by an armed foe. It is a time for all Americans to give sober thought to Americanistn and | what it ns. Personal liberty is the most cherished heritage which has came down to us from the fathers. but we know now that personal liberty is capable of being organized and per- verted into intolerable despotism. No absolute monarchy ever had in its »ands a more deadly instrument of op- pression than the power to deuy to the people access to those commodities without which life cannot be sus- tained. A people who will submit themselves to the caprices of such tyranny are not a free people, and if they will not expend themselves to the utmost in opposition to it they are not worthy to be classed as freemen nor entitled to enjoy the blessings of lib- erty. It matters not from what source the oppression comes, it is as odious and unbearable eoming from a class of their fellow citizens as it would be coming from a foreign potentate. The majority has the right and it has the power to protect itself against the minority, but in exercising this right and in exerting this power it is under obligation to see that injustice is not done to minorities. If there was danger that injustice would be done either the striking railroad men or the striking miners there would not be back of the government the solid ar- ray of supporting public opinion which exists today. But that danger does not exist. The Railroad Labor Board is an instrument of the government created specifically to do justice, and for the miners the President has proposed to ereate a tribunal of arbitration equal- 1y impartial. So it is not justice but advamtage which the leaders of the miners and the shopmen seek, and the people will not be fooled by their pre- tending otherwise. Should it become necessary for the government to take over and operate the mines and railroads to save the natlon from disaster a way *will be found to make that operation effective, and any men or set of men who at- tempt to thwart the government and the hundred million people back of it will be but courting their own destruc- tion. It is not too late for a peaceful set- tlement if the railroad men and the miners—and this includes the owners of the railroads and mines as well as. the workers—will be content with what Is just and right, but it is too. late for surrender to any selfish group, ‘whether it be of capital or labor. The government has put its hands to the plow, and cannot turn back. It must go forward with whatever measures Ay be necessary to the protection of | the people, else it will cease to be a line in Wisconsin resides another woman nominee for the Senate. He i expected to appear in the Badger state, too; and once on the swing he is likely to swing far and wide. Mr. Pomerene, if he can spare the time from his own canvass, will bo ex- pected to make a few speeches away from home. He is a potential nominee for President, and as such is probably in an obliging humor. Mr. Wilson is not in stumping form, but commands his pen as readily and effectively as ever; and there is ex- | pectation that he will be heard from !in several letters when the situation | clears and warms up. October is the month. It has thirty- one days, and every one of them will Dbe used for stumping purposes. l French Communists. As a result of the fortunately inef- fectual attempt upon President Mil- lerand in Paris vesterday a demand jhas been expressed that the govern- ment put through the chamber of deputies before adjournment & pend- ing bill providing the ministry of jus- tice with a weapon against slanderous attacks upon public men. This is due to the fact that for some time past the communist press of France has been condueting a bitter campaign against Premier Poincare and the ministry.; and yesterday's outrage is believed to be the culmination. The anarchist who shot at the prefect of Paris in mistake for the president declared afterward: “One hears new rumors of war: my voice is too feeble to be heard, so [ used the gun.” ' The communist assaults upon and the government the have | premier French ministry has been seeking de- | | liberately to provoke another conflict. | Back of this lies unquestionably a wish to precipitate a radical reaction. Between the communists of France and the Russian bolshevists is known to be a bond of sympa The Parisian radicals have been in direct communion with the third interna- tionale at Moscow There is no general anti-republican sentiment in France. A small group favors restoration of the monarchy in the person of the Duke of Orleans. A water. He was skilled in the wotk of rescuing those in danger. In that case the girl, who was injured in diving and three minutes under the surface, though restored to consciousness by a pulmoter, died later of pneumonia; due to long exposure in the water. These be extremely careful in the use of the bathing places. The boys who went swimmjng in the rain-swollen waters of Rock creek and the girl whodived at the bathing beach were taking chances. Swimmers will always take chances, going further and further into danger, whichNs curiously enough part of the pleasure. But there should always be somebody within range who can act quickly and effectively, as did Guard Perron at the tidal basin in the recovery of Miss Ehrler, and Shaw Blackstone at the Rock creek pool in the rescue of his brother and friend. 1924 All talk about a new party relates to 1924. The old parties are good for ong more whirl at least. Nominations tor the next Congress are being made on the old lines, and the November re- sult will be labeled as either a repub- lican or a democratic victory. The proponents of a new party are heartened by the belief that the next House will be democratic. That, as they argue, will show the failure of the republic initiative on the democrats. But with what effect so far as legis lation is congerned” How, with the re- publicans still in control of the Senate and a republican occupying the White crats to do more before the campaign of 1924 opens than make a gestur A gesture will not.siffice. Simply to propose measures and then be obliged to compromise with the republicans for action will throw the country out of conceit with the new arrangement. In that situation, the new party advocates assert, public sentiment for a change will rise high, and ‘the change will forthwith take place But @ new organization constructed out of the wrecks of the two old or- larger, but still decidedly a minorit group favors a communist govern- ment. The great majority of the peo- ple, however, are republicans, and only by some fluke or chance could the present organization be destroyed. The | campaign of slander conducted by the | communist press is part of the effort | public. Naturally the thought of an-1 other war is abhorrent to the French people. They have suffered frightfully from conflict and want no more fight- ing. whether on their own soil or eise where. But they are without doubt too level-headed to be misled by the shoutings of the radicals into any vio- {lent reaction. Yesterday's attempted assassination will doubtless have the effect of steadying the nation If the present sense of danger causes the enactment of a measure which will enable the government to proceed against political slanderers the crime of yesterday will have been fortunately timed. An astounding freedom of expression is permitted in France and in other countries to the radicals. There is somewhat of the same condition here in the United States. Libels against public officers Probably if the pending measure is enacted there will be a loud outery against it es a tyrannical step against the freedom of utterance. But the remedy is surely justifiable in view of the peril. ————————— Wells for Parliament. If H. G. Wells gets a chance to try his hand in parliament the venture will arouse much interest. He has had great success with his pen. His novels and essays and historical books have been widely read. The range of his information is remarkable, and he puts it to exceedingly clever uses. But a brilllant pen does not guaran- tee a brilliant tongue, and unless Mr. ‘Wells commands the latter as cleverly as he does the former he will hardiy find legislative work to his liking. He might shine in routine committee pro- ceedings and participate occasionally in running debates without drawing that attention to himself he might think his due. To “hit the black and ring the bell” in the house of com- ‘mons it 1s necessary to possess power and charm as a speaker. Thackeray tried for parliament, but, to the relief of many of his friends and admirers, missed. His talents did not lie in that field. Dickens, who when a newspaper reporter had filled an as- signment in the press gallery of the commons, had seen the legislative | body too close up to care for member- ! ship. Macauley wrote and spoke equal- ly well and brilliantly, and carried a high reputation as a legislator after distinguishing himself as an author. If Mr. Wells is an allaround man, parliament will afford him opportunity to study some questions from a n angle, and utilize the fruits of his government worthy of the name. The people will support it if it is resolute; they will condemn it if it weakens. —————— ‘The government never had so many @ifficalt problems before it that the suggestion that it take over the man- @gement of some great industry was @ot freely offered. —_——— Opinions are ventured that if a clash ©ver wages is inevitable it might as ‘well come in 1922 as in 1923 or 1924. ——— Stumping. The democrats will have some nota- ‘ble stumpers in action this year. Mr. Bryan will, of course, abey the party call. He did not stump for Gov. Cox two years ago, but that is the only refusal of record against him. His popularity continues. He is still | - welcome in all but wet localities. He wants & democratic House, although aware of the fact that its existence will be claimed as @ wet trlum\ah. Gov. Cox is in Europe sightseeing, but will return in time to lend a tongue. Whether he will be available for service outside of Ohio is a ques- tion. A great effort will be made to carry that state against the republic- studies as he may desire. —ee—————— Financial relationships of all kinds would be facilitated if all persons and nations could be persuaded to pay their debts as promptly as France thinks Germany ought to pay hers. ————— Radio would be still more interes ing if there was any chance of its de- veloping means of carrying supplies in the event of a complete railway tie-up. —_——be—————— Germany might assist matters by showing a definite plan to prevent one moratorium. —————— ‘Water Rescues. Shaw Blackstone, a thirteen-year- old Washington lad, showed the quali- ties of heroism when he rescued his younger brother and a companion from drowning in Rock creek. It takes nerve and quick thought to do as this boy did in an emergency. He went sbout the work of bringing the two with the steadiness of a trained life- guard.

S. Judges To Be Named by the President NE of the biggest slices of federal patronage, of a se- lect kind, that ever fell to the lot of a President of the United States to distribute In time of peace is about to fall into the lap of President Harding—the appoint- ment of twenty-three federal district Jjudges at salaries of $7,500 each. The appointments are provided for in the “judges bill,” upon which the con- ferees of the Senate and House have reported a complete agreement. When the House reassembles August 15 the report on the bill will be call- ed up in the Senate, as well as in that body, and, it is expected, will be disposed of finally. The appointment of this great number of federal judges will not be all “beer and skittles,” however. It is easy to imagine the long list of eligibles for these judgeships that will be submitted to the President |and the wire-pulling in the interests of this and that candidate. Of course senators will expect their advice to be taken with regard to appointments in their “states. The districts to which judges are to be appointed are located in eighteen states, for five states get two new judges each— { Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois and California. * k% % In the past bills have been passed from t{me to time, adding a new dis- {trict judge here and another there, {to meet the demands of the business ot the courts as it increased.

The purpose was to appoint young and vigorous jurists as far as possible. Appointment as a federal judge is “for good behavior'— for life, unless impeachment charges should be brought and the judge re- moved. But impeachment cases have been few and far between, b sald to the honor of the federal bench.

The expected happened. when Mayor Oles of Youngstown quit cold on his job at the end of only six months. This is conceded both by the friends and the enemies of the man who es- sayed to rule a thriving American metropolis 1n the same way that he had conducted his business. Running originally as an independent candi- date, he was considered & joke by the politicians, but was swept into office by the people who hoped, that he fairs of the city. But from the start he talked a great deal. He promised much that manifestly was impossible. His unusual methods of publicity at- tracted great attention to Youngs- town and his abandonment of his post has been.the subject of editorial comment, some friendly, some dis- th the opposite. Mayor Oles’ candidacy began in a joke and his administration ends in Qdisaster,” says the Youngstown Vin- dicator, “The truth is that Oles talk- ed too much and promised things that were impossible. We had hoped that he high order of ability which had enabled him to make such a success of his business would somehow enable him to become a successful mayor.

Mr. Taft, however, had been Presi- dent of the United States, and years beforehad been a federal judge him- { self in Ohio. His appointment at the age of sixty-three or at any age up to seventy would have baen popular in the country. * ok x ‘Washington, with the Supreme Court and the Department -of Justice located here, has always been the center of things judicial in this coun- try. But, under the new law, Wash- ington will be the scene each year of gatherings of the senior United States clrcuit judges, when these judges will | come here to report to the Chief Jus- tice upon the state of business in their circuits and to make recom- mendations for expediting the busi- iness of the courts. These meetings jare to be here the last Monday in i September of each year. Prior to these ‘Washington conferences, the senior judge in each of the federal districts must file with the senior circuit judge in which the district is located re- ports upon the work of the district and his recommendations also. In this way the circuit judges will be able to have a complete and detailed statement of what 18 going on in thelr circuits, and the Chief Justice will have a report of the business of the courts from the entire United States, in_detall. These conferences in Washington, it 1s expected, will prove of great bene- fit. Chief Justice Taft has recently visited Great Britain for the purpose, 4t Is sald, of studying the Jjudicial lsystem there. He is reported also to be bringing back to this country some reeommendations for improvements in the American system. The judges’ conference here each September—the first may be held next fall—will en- able the Chief justice and the De- partment of Justice to prepare recom- mendations to the President and to Congress for any legislation which may be necessary. * x % % Whether the President will make his appointments to the new federal judgeships before the eiection or aft- erward will bs a matter of no little interest. From present indications, the coming eiections will leave & number of “lame ducks'—good re- publicans who have falled to be re- for some of the places. The new law is designed to relieve to some extent the congested condi- |tion of the courts here—the District Court of Appeals and the District Su- !preme Court. Provision is made that judges of the Court of Customs Ap- Peals—if their own court docket 1s not overcrowded, may be called upon {10 serve on either of the District of Columbia courts mentioned.
