HALLETT, back to 1919, In order to cover and pay honor justly due to the present incumbent. It has been the fashion to poke fun at the vice | president. 4 Y Especially at the present vice president. ! The reason a. that the present vice president pokes fun at himself. | But in that he shows himself to be a modest gentle- }man, a trustworthy official and a characteristic American. During the past eight years of world stressful ad- ministration, and especia}ly during the past several jmonths of the chief executive’s disability, the vice president has been in a particularly delicate position. Only a man of real worth, sound sense and sterling \integrity could have carried it off successfully. Yet he has not made a single false move or uttered one illy-considered word during all that time. Even at the time when the false rumor of the president's death was reported to him, and for an anxious quarter of an hour he thought himself the head of the nation, even then he ap; tly thought only of the grayity of the situation and of his responsibility to the nation. j Yet because this man has the genuine sense of American |humor and indulges in pleasant persiflage about himself,| | because he sends a message of condolence to Coolidge upon, |his nomination, because he waves aside a threatened sub-' stantial presidential boom as “sweetened wind,” because he! refuses to as a solemn ass, people have scanted the} recognition he deserves. Well, then, now that you are not a candidate, and not much longer an official, here’s to you, Tom Marshall! Tourist Motoring guests are passing thtu almost every city and village tn the land. With the growth of these thousands of summer auto trips, far seeing towns, public officials and private citizens have begun to “bait” the tourist in suceensful attempts to cause them to tarry in their midst. Cities all over the country might well go and do Dkewise. The object Is two-fold—commercial and sentimental It is being accom. plished by establishing municifal camp grounds for the passing | motorists.

Our Fighting Navy ‘The real fighting admiral of the American navy isn't Admtral Sims or Admiral Benson or Admiral Rodman or any of the “sea‘dogx” who do their admiraling aboard ship or in foreign ports, For they only fight during war, if at all, and then at only infyequent intervals, But down in the east wing of the big new navy building in Wasb- ington, Rear Admiral Samuel McGowan directs a continuoug, battle. As chief of tha bureau of supplies, McGowan ts in constant conflict with interests and influences seeking to hold the navy and the country up to profiteering prices. ‘These are not little battles, No more strenuous conflicts are waged on the high seas than some of thone waged in McGowan’s office. For NO greater pirates ever sailed the main than some of those with whom grapples. é The latest public enemy on whom McGowan has turned hie guns | is the oil profiteer, When the price of fuel off to the navy jumped from 43 cents a barre! to $: in one year, McGowan decided it was time to fight. The result is that during the next .year na¥y officers, spe cially detailed, will learn all the steps and processes in refining’ ofln, will secure full figures on production and refining costa, and will put Uncle Sam in position to operate his own refineries, with the output from his own naval ofl reserves, if necessary. Remembering the powder manufncturers and the armor plate barons, the ofl interests may be expected to think twice before driving the government into active competition. If, for instance, it should be shown that gasoline could be produced and sold at a good profit at 20 cents @ gallon—which is the price the navy will pay for some £,000,000 galions this year—the public would not long stand to pay 30 to 35 centa, The navy is maintained for our national protection. That tt may he utilized to protect the public generally from internal domestic enemies in time of peace as well as against foreign foes during war, is not so well understood. McGowan understands it, however, and is fighting it out on that line. He's really an admirable admiral! | { Ludendorff Again Ludendorff points to Poland's defeat, and says he predicted it. He warns the allies that the Holshevtki are now preparing to overrun Europe. This is the same Ludendorff whose advice about political, military and undersea matters was recently followed by the Hohen- zllerns and the German people. It ended in one of the most terrible defeats in history. | Ludendorft has the real spirit of the conspirator. {be at work pulling strings. He cannot rest. When the Kapp ingurrec- | tion broke out in Berlin, Ludendorff hurried thither like a jackal. | Now that blood flows in Poland, off he Is on the scent once more, This man is childish in his craze for notoriety, Hin strategy munt make even the grim Hindenburg smile. What Ludendorff wants is to frighten the allies into permitting Germany to raise a huge army to keep the Bolsheviki at bay. After the army is created Ludendorft imagines he can use it for any other purpose his insane vanities may dictate. The allies will not be fooled. They know Laendorff. The German people, however, do not. If Germany ever does understand him, he will be sent into retirement and kept there. While Ludendorft is allowed to roam the German republic, rattling his sabre at world events, the spirit of Prussian militarism will remain at large, He must always 1 A Word to the “Restful” Writing as advisor of young men, John Siddall, editor of The Amert- can Magazine, warns that “journaliem is not a restful profession.” Nope about the only restful vocation, nowadays, is ‘tending toll-ente on a plank road, but John is wrong in saying one word for the benefit of young men who are looking for something “restful.” such | young men will find their legitimate vocation as water finds a level. ‘The fact that journalism is not a restful profession but one full of hustle, knocks, scars and all porta of tests of character is its chief at- traétion to young men who are worth while. There is no rest from the trials that Journalism makes of its noviceg’ qualities and no man stays in the profession so long that it never presents anything new and cfitical to try out his character. Within the past decade journalism itself, has greatly changed, and with it the men who entered the pro fession in their youth. Indeed, journalism 1s not a restful profession.
