AYLING MAKE CONGERESS REPUBLIC ALsO. When Senator Harding declares t Ohio audience that he did not desire be President unless a o an 0 republican con- Eress was also elected in order to trans- late republican promises into perform- ance, there can be no mistaking the view that he takes. Senator Harding in seeking eiection as & republican candidate for the presiden- cy understands full well what the prob- lems are that must be tackled. He has set them forth repeatedly and presented to the people of the country the course that he would follow n de g Wwith them.

But time has proves it to be one of the greatest bargaine ibai. any government ever made. 1t has nearly 501000 square miles; not-a “vast area of only perpetual wa and snow.” Up to Dec. 31, 1918 our mpic had realized $949,080,000 out of Seward’s “dream.” Would to God our government had a few such dreamers to- day! In 1918 the fisheries alone brought us $60,000,000; and last vear the output of coal was slmost §50,000,000. Moral: dox't be afraid of your dreams but test them in the light of reasom. Whatever Bo our political sfilistions, we have a right to examine the issues at stake Very little has been suid in this campaign thus far sbout the league of nations as’ a working hypethesis. Up to date forty-thres nations Rhave become signatories, enough—one would suj —to test its working possibilities, Britain, i’s most ardent supporter, has repeatedly gone contrary te the spirit of the covenant.

Poland herself plunged into war without the consent of, or protest from, any of the forty-two members of the leagwe. France and Beél- gium have formed the Beigium Milll- taire; a force of 400,000 as a guard against another invasion which is eon- trary to the letter and spirit of Article 8 of the covemant. Again, Rumania, Crechoslavakia and Jugostavia have formed what is known as the “little en- tente,” Whose purpose is to prévent the rebirth of Humgarian revanche, but is a great menace to the Adriatic.

That mystetious something which baffies analysls and de- finition is personality; that which some people have and others have not. Wherever it is present it exerts an in- fluence and its possessor is recognized as a person of power whatever position he occupies. It is persomality that makes one great in law, medicine, theology. statecraft, letters, editorial work and most of all in the school room all the way from kindergarten to university. will recall many concrete the pgwer of personality within and without the schoolroom. The great teachers in our American colleges have all of them been persons of strik- ing personality: Mark Hopkins of Wil- Julius H. Seelye 'of Amerst, Francis Wayland of Brown, Theodore Dywight Woolsey of Yale, and many like them, were all men of amazing person- ality, and impressed themselves as a mighty influence on many classes of stu- dents. You may take two professors, both of whom are learned men, in the class room of the one is-Ifstiessness and confusion, and in the other perfect order and attention. Now this @ifference is correctly explained by the word ‘“per- sonality.” We set this in the grades where the litlle omes are taught.

Whatever may be one's party affilia- tion in the pressnt campaign if he-is sincern and patriotic, he will not object to aving tie probe put into the charge of abuses, even if thdt charge is against his own party. In this respect The New Terk Hernid has done a plece of work that merits the thanks of every true American, It was a bold, nen Phrtizan vestigation of contratts made by the wat department which ought to make ev- ery real American insist on a change of administration. Among ' the charges proved are: food, ciothing and other mec- casities were gold by the government, in #ome cases ,at a less of mere than 1,000 per cent. 300,800 overcoats bought from the government at 25 conts each and sold for $2.50 each making a profit of $675,- 000, or 900 per cent. The same concern bought back 1,000,000 yards of olive Arab shirting at a loss to the government from 12 to 17 cents a yard. Suppose this cab- inet officor comducted his own pHvate business in this' way, what would soon i publican congress had not scaled down | us to the verge of industrial paralysis and commereial stagnation, which the admin- istration anmounced placidly and mistal enly to be a psychologicol depression— and only the world needs of a world-war Saved us from economic disaster at that time. > They went into office with a pledge to establish governmental economy and they broke faith with an exhibition of the mest profligate and in funds which the world has ever kfiown. And the cost of living went up step by Sympathy with it. And this was before the war and in the face of that “psycho- logical depresion” to whieh I have ad- verted. An Unprecedented Sum. In 1912, under a republican adminie- tration, the total expenditures of the gov- ernment totaled _$654,000,000. ‘In 1916 they had risen to $742,000,000. Now, two years after the armistice—and in a time of practical, if not technical, peace—we find this administration asking for appro- priations for the girr-at year of $5,294,- 000,000. That « ¥ riious, unprecedented sum would have vecn expended iIf a Te- the estimates. The vresent administra- tion can make no promise to reduce the { cost of government in the coming year if| continued in power In 1912 they déemanded in their plat- form a reduction jn the number of gov- ernment office hiolders. I believe that demand was justified. The héw party government found 280,000 civil service employes on the rolls of the government. Tnstead of redueing the number from the very start, there was a continuous addl- tion to the civil list. The last estimate of the civil service commission Indicates that the number is approximately 657,000 and the best information is that the esti- mate is more than 100,000 short of the actual number. The administration in power scems to be utterly incapable of getting back to a peace time basis of organization, adminis- tration and expenditure. This not only indieates an unnecess: The amount asked for the exccutive departments of the government this year means a tax of $52 for every man, woman and child in the country—approximately $230 for | every family of five. In the war the American army and the American navy upheld the traditions of our peopls and our history. American genius and American skill worked won- ders at home and abroad, but in these successes, in these triumphs, the admin- istration had little part. ‘We do not care to dwell on the costly blunders and the unspeakable waste of the war administration.
