Cox on the Administration. | | tackling the Harding adminis n—of which he d not approve | at all—Gov. Cox of Ohio said at af democratic meeting in Richmond, | Tna., st nizht. that “its international policies are ridiculed in every chan- cellery in the world.” Did the speaker have in mind the policies prevailed at the confer- ence ston last winter for put itation on arma- | ments? ¥ have not been openly ridiculed, but praised. evi here | aby If Gov. Cox on his tour of | Europe heard them ridiculed it was | probably for his private entertain-| ment and not for publication. Did the speaker have in mind the league of nations and the administra- tion's attitude toward that? If so, and he spoke by the card, it is in order to remind him that the admin- istration’s attitude is justified by the popular verdict rendered in 1920, when the largest plurality ever record- ed in this country—seven million- odd—was thrown against the league. The administration can stand a good | deal of ridicule in European chancel- | Teries on that subject, It is instructed | not to enter the league, and has no| thought of violating *astructions. i But what does steh ridicule—if it is indulged in—prefit Gov. Cox, or anybody in this count Against it may be set the American opinion of the league expressed two vears ago,! h has not since been modi-| i Gov. Cox wants another try at the | presidency. and fn 1924 will find him- self in strong company for the demo-| cratic president’al nomination. Tt will not serve his purposes well to be quoting foreigh ridicule of American | policies, even when they are repub- tican policies. | i i Gov. Hardwick. Gov. Hardwick is not easily dis- couraged. Only a few weeks ago he took the sentiment of the democrats of Georgia on the subject of a second term in the governorship and the de- cision was overwhelmingly against him. His opponent for the nomina- tion had a walkaway. He now offers for the Senate. The primary election takes place on the 17th inst.—less than two weeks away. The regular election follows in No- vember. There are, including Gov. Hard- wick, seven candidates. He is easily the most widely known of the number. A good speaker, an experienced poll- tician with a congressional traini he should at least add to the of the primary contest. The governor and the late “Tom™ Watson were at one time in agree- ment about both national and Cracker | state politics and on cordial personal} terms. They agreed particularly well as to Woodrow Wilson. Neither liked ; him, nor did he like either of them. Something happened, however, and! in the recent Georgia primary Mr. Watson threw his weight against Gov. | Hardwick, and his opposition was an Important factor in the latter's defeat. This lent an attractive touch to the! offer of the senatorial appointment to Mrs. Watson. i By making Mrs. Felton his second choice, Gov.

Photographs of the work on the construction of the new conduit be- tween Great Falls and Washington show steam shovels cutting out great quantities of dirt and driving the wide trenches in short order. Only the very elder Washingtonians will re- member, if at all, the manner in which the original conduit trough was dug. All the work was by hand. There were no steam shovels then, no compressed air drills for the rock work. The process was comparatively slow. When the first conduit was con- structed Washington was a small town and the stretch between the city and the Falls was open country—a farming section. Georgetown, on the far outer edge of which the main res- ervolr was built, was distinct from Washington. The war between the states had not been fought, had not aven been considered as a remote pos- sibility, when the work was started. The steam shovels that are now snorting and puffing alongside of Con- duit road and tearing up great quan- titles of dirt stand for a remarkable progress since the first work was be- gun there in 1853. When the original conduit was constructed the gangs of workmen lived on the job, eating and sleeping out there because of the long distance from town. Now' those . who 0 not use motor cars to reach wnflu i forth, the workmen are speeding by | is regarded | be noticed. | populated | th { car i selves by saying that, as the robbery the run quickly in electric trolley cars, g Washington then was not regarded as ever likely to grow to the point where the volume of water carried by the conduit would not be sufficient. Nobody conceived a community of nearly half a million population. It was considered as a great under- taking to cut through the rock walls of the Potomac banks and for miles across country to bring a water sup- ply to the capital. The bridging of Cabin John run was in itself a monu- mental feat. The work when com- pleted stood as one of the cngineering | triumphs of the period. The Panama anal had not then been dug. Now the job of constructing an addi- | tional conduit is attracting only pass- | ing notice. The shovels are at work, the dirt trucks are buzzing back and « gasoline and electricity to and from | their tasks daily and the whole affair | a commonplace. next conduit, if ever a Will the { third one is made necessary by the { gpectator further growth of the capital, and the water is taken from the same source, be constructed by methods as far] ahead of those of today as are today's | processes ahead of those of 18537 1It| would be idle to hazard a guess. | —_————————— Street Skaters. !

It the boys and girls had read or| been told of the fatality of Tuesday ¢ disregarded it as something that was of no moment to them. For every child thinks himself or herself quite capable of self-preservation. It is that spirit of confidence that leads to disaster. Last evening four youths were ob- served roller-skating along Pennsyl- vania avenue, in a hand-clasping line. They were going rapidly, their skates ng a din that drowned the noise any motor car approaching from ind. They occupied a space of | or ten feet across the road- To pass them a machine had | g out to and even upon the ar tracks. They would not yield an inch of room. a frequent spectacle on the streets of this city. The motorists, | ful as they are, cannot cope with such a condition. They sound their horns and make ample turns to get | around the skaters. but there is always a danger of a slip, a bump, a tumble or a sudden swerve to avoid an ob- stacle—and then the ambulance is sent dashing to the rescue. | Traffic conditions are difficult enough | without allowing roller-skaters to im- pede the way and to complicate mat- ters. A person on rollers in the street is virtually a vehicle, not a pedestrian. | Drivers must obtain licenses before | they can operate cars, yet any child can go into the streets with skates, | become to all intents and purposes | a vehicle and add to the congestion | and the danger. | Prohibiticn of roller skating in the | streets may be a drastic measure, but { it surely scems to be necessary, as| the children will not learn the lesson | so plainly taught by death, parents will not sufficiently discipline and regulate their youngsters and !h(e{ drivers of vehicles cannot be required | to exercise greater caution than they | now in the great majority of cases display. —_———— Democrats and the Tariff. The democrats have taken the! stump with- the assertion that the! new tariff law is the worst ever; that it was made for the benefit of the few at the expense of the many and will so operate; that, in the last analysis, it is a species of robbery under the forms of law. The republican reply includes a clever point, which is that a number of democratic senators participated in shaping the measure by supporting amendments bearing favorably on the interests of their constituents, Bnd] that three of them voted for the com- pleted measure on its final passage. There is nothing new in this record. | Every republican revision of the tariff | made in the past thirty vears has een participated in in this way by democratic legislators and has carried items favorable to democratic con- stituengies. Some of the legislators thus impli- cated have laughingly excused them- was in progress and could not be stopped, they wanted their share of the plunder for the home folks. This, of course, “gave them away.” They had not been sent to Congress to improve such an opportunity and bring home tainted bacon. Even men of national consequence sometimes talk through their hats,] ard much of the current denunciation of the latest tariff revision is of the kind that filters easily through a “lid.” The authors can hardly be serious in the extreme terms they are employing. ———— The gentleman who invented the slogan, “Let’'s get together and get somewhere,” contributed a suggestion that remains applicable to every crisis. —_———— A king who knows just when to abdicate possesses one of the highest attributes of statecraft. s ———————— Turkish militarists ignore the fact that atrocities never yet won aswar. —————e— e Breaks of the Game. Bases loaded with none out in the eighth! The teani at bat two runs to the bad! Crack! goes the bat against the ball and it sails straight out toward center field. The pitcher sticks up his gloved hand and jumps, but the ball is just two inches higher than he can reach: “The runners start and two of them score before the ball is retrieved and another is on third base. The score is tied. The pitcher is called out of the game and another substituted; but a.long fly scores the third runner and yields the additional run needful for a victory. ° 4 Such was the climax of the first ‘game of the world series. - A two-inch margin for a hit that otherwise would Beobasiy bave made ot & doule aud I ghum.

And like- wise every spectator probably consid- ered whether it was better to follow a “Yank” hit with a sacrifice or a drive in the ninth. The grandstands are packed full of strategists and managers. ‘Those two-inch margins and those hitand-run plays that go wrong are are known as the “breaks of the game.” In the long'run the better team gets most of the breaks. In a short series sometimes the victory ‘goes to the weaker team because it gets more than its share. Mr. Bryan and the Tariff. Monday, at Los Angeles, Mr. and Mrs, Bryan celebrated the thirty- elghth anniversary of their marriage, and, immediately, as the notice runs, Mr. Bryan left on a stumping tour taking him into eight states. The names of the states are not given. Presumably, however, they have been selected with care, for, as The Star pointed out the other day. Mr. Bryan as a stumper does not “fit” everywhere this year. In some states the democratic campaign is fashioned on ifnes that suit him. In other states ji 1s much too wet for a man of his! dry disposition. In taking up the tariff question Mr. Bryan returns to his first love. It was as an advocate of a low tariff that when a yourg man he came out of the west, and as a member of the House received in his first term the unusual distinction of appointment to a place on the ways and means com- mittee. By 1898 he had subordinated the tariff to free silver coinage, and fought, and lost, the presidential cam- paign of that vear on the latter- issue. | By 1900 he had switched to anti- imperialism—an issue he had evolved out of our taking over the Philippines —and he fought, and lost, the battle of that year on that issue. ; By 1908 he had been won over to the doctrine of government ownership and operation of railroads, and the ut- most pressure was necessary to pre- vent him from making that doctrine the paramount issue in his third cam- paign for the presidency. Free silver, anti-imperialism and state socialism all in the discard, and here is old low tariff again, fresh as a daisy, and as ready to Mr. Bryan's tongue as when he first tongue fo it. —————— ‘The Russian poet who came to this country as the husband of an eminent classic dancer was evidently not suf- ficiently influential in his own tongue to be detained by Trotsky 2s & propa- gandist. ———— When the farmers announce a bumper crop to be distributed pros- | perity is assured.

The passage of Senator Thomas E. Watson of Georgia eliminates from public life a man who might have been one of America’s greatest leaders, in the opinion of many editors. agreement that his genius was of the | highest order, but was always handi- | capped by his turbulent nature and his intense and bitter animosities. As a United States senator he generally is regarded as a significant failure, but there is a complete acceptance of his merits as an historian. Watson, the Cincinnati Times Star is convinced, “should never have held office. Jt was incompatible with his temperament,” and it points out that his gole contribution. at s his charge of cruelty can officers ‘in France proved by investigati the figment of poor Watson's brain,” | but also recalls that “he was an his- torlan_of very real merit—a latter- day Carlyle of less color and lessi depth. Too bad that the state of Georgia saw fit to pillory him with his accentuateq idiosyncrasies in the Senate during the declining months of a tempestuous life.” Watson was “picturesque, interesting and at times exciting” as a national fisure, the Milwaukee Sentinel holds. and “per: haps the .sirest estimate of him may be given As a man of deep, honest convictions. of wide learning and un- doubted brilllancy as a writer and orator, of indubitable courage. but lacking in the solig wisdom and bal- anced judgment which appertains to statesmanship as distinguished from spectacular political activity.” Conceding this brilliancy and force- fulness, the question of whether his “program was for Georgia and the country’s good is altogether a differ- ent question,” the Mobile Register points out, and “all that it seem. worth while to say now is that, as in a republic all things must be done in order if the best results are to be obtained, the Ishmaelite in poli- tics is not to be relied upon, except as a corrective of the negligence of those who conduct public affairs; and the corrective at times may overdo its work, producing reaction that is finally harmful rather than benefi- cial.” Had he lived “one hundred years ago he might have taken a high place in history,” the New Bedford Stand- ard thinks, suggesting that “on Tom Watson's tombstone should be in- scribed the words: ‘His head was never right and his heart was never wrong.” = Watson was, “by nature a radical, a fireeater, a mal-content,” says the Newark News, and “exhibited the anomaly of a man, who, in_the throes of public life, was swayed by passion and prejudice, quickly con- ceived and made an integral part of himself, heart leading head, and yet, as an author, in the quiet of his study, could be discriminating, temperate and judicious.” While “the Senate was no gainer by his election,” the Cleveland Plain Dealer suggests that “his death removes from the life of the capital one of its most conspicu- ous figures. Right or wrong—wrong oftener than right—Tom Watson was always an uncompromising fighter, a fiery southern crusader, frequently a nuisance and doubtless an honest man.” His faults will soon be “for- gotten,” the Jacksonville Journal holds, and then “the name of Thomas E. Watson will live as one of the greatest historians of the century. The world forgets the man of prej udice. But the world does not for get the man who contributes some- thing to the/ archive of literature. Strangely, Thomas E. Watson immor- talized himself in the American heart in his earlier years.”” In addition, regardless of his political beliefs, and the “apparent love of the iconoclas- tic,” the Little Rock Arkansas Demo- crat feels that he was “the kind of a man a nation needs. He saw the faults and foibles of government as it is enacted and he asked permission of no one to call attention to these faults.” Attention also is directed by the Atlanta Journal to the fact that “his veteran followers adored him; his antagonists never forgot” and refers to the general sorrow at home over his passing, also remembering “that if. he was the source or center of much djscord he was also the author of that goodly legislation from which was grown the rural free delivery of mails blessing today every country- side beneath the fla, He also was “either hated or loved—there was no footing in his character and career for a_midway purchase of indiffer- ence from which to view him,” says the Knoxville Sentinel, and “he did not appear ever to feel happy or to be in his element when he was not stir- ring up the animals, and in the thick of some:polemic or political fight,” but the Manchester Union holds that “here was ome of the men whose careers furnish illustrations for the Jraamme 5 P e . | ute that he never before possessed.
