ULITBER, Presi Park Row, WEMBER OF TITER ANPOCIATED PTLUEss, errand tn feet snertin wae A ROLL OF REACTION. “Wwe are the Siate,” the Old Guard may pro- , © claim =with good reason as it surveys election results. For purposes of practical politics the Republican EXder Statesmen are in a most desirable position. A majority of about twenty in the Senate is well- nigh ideal for effective political manipulation. It is ‘just right to make the party whip effective in dis Gplining non-conformists. The margin is great enough to make difficulan “Indian uprising” such whelming as to foster factionalism and insubordina- ‘tion. The growing majority, now estimated at 130, in the House, may prove more difficult to manage and to keep in line. 3 All the members of the Old/Guard were re- turned, even though they ran behind their tickets. The names of Penrose, Smoot, Watson, Dilling- ham, Wadsworth, Moses, Brandegee and Curtis of Kansas constitute an imposing Roll of Reaction, President-elect Harding believes in “party rule” and “We are the party” is an Old Guard axiom. The Senate means to rule, though it does not reign. In the House the situation is scarcely less satis- factory from the Old Guard point of view. Gil- lett, Cannon, Mann, Good and Fordney are stanch Ok Guard men on duty in strategic posts. Ten towns {in Scotland voted to go dry yesterday. No wonder wealthy Britishers are burrowing under their gardens to enlarge their wine cellars. “TAX INCLUDED." ‘ AX INCLUDED” is a sign to bring some measure of cheer to hard pressed slaves of the H.C. of L. “Tax inchided”’ signs are increas- ingly in evidence in all sorts of mercantile estab- lishments. : “Tax included,” as a mule, means that merchants &ré anxious to get away from the impression that their goods are luxuries. It is a recognition of the ‘public will to economize. The time has passed when goods sold most readily because the price . asked was exorbitant. “Tax included” means even more than this, As @ general thing in such cases the merchant is actu- ally paying the tax. For the sake of increased Sales he is deducting the tax from his castomary of profit. ‘ax included,” it may be remarked, is a mani-. festation of a falling market, a buyer's market, and as such these signs are indeed welcome to those who buy, particularly to those who buy non-luxury goods which have not been taxed ce _Gov. Cox is going to Europe to make ‘a care- ful first hand study of conditions there.” What a pity only the defeated candidate gets this opportunity. No American could take such an Information trip with greater benefit to himself and the country than the President-Elect, NO CURE IN SIGHT. Cmca any measurable enthusiasm for the candidate, the Republican vote divides into two fairly even sections One voted for a tradition. . The other was the result of a stomachache. The tradition is not true. The stomachache was only a symptom of the underlying trouble. As time goes on the disease of which the - stomachache is a symptom will attack and weaken the tradition. Republicanism was never in more precarious State than in its ‘hour of triumph. ‘An acute shortage of coal for apartment houses and office buildings in this city is re- ported. This is, of course, part of the cumu- lative mismanagement of a Democratic Ad ministration. All will be different next year. NOW FOR THE PIGSKIN. VERY fourth year the final games of the football season loom more important and imposing than in non-Presidential years. After weeks of intensive politics Americans need and wel- come a reaction and relaxation, This year is no exception to the rule. The next three Saturdays will witness the final tests of the Big Four of the East—Brown, Prince- _ ton, Yale and Harvard. Record attendance is ex- pected if weather favors. =~ New York City fares better than usual in football this year. Colwmbia, once more a factor in foot- ball, has a more important schedule than last sea- ‘son, including games with Swarthmore on Morning- side Heights next Saturday, Cornell at Ithaca the mext week and the wind-up with Pennsylvania at the Polo Grounds on Nov. 20. - {Lt addition to the Nebraska-Rutgers game Elec- cevdiied im thls pao s Hiram Johnson has threatened, yet’ hot so over- tion Day, the Polo Grounds will also draw from outside the city the great annual classic, the Service game, when the Army meets the Navy on Nov. 27. Football increases its hold on the American public because it has improved as a game in the last generation, The open game, with opportunity for superior generalsthip and the use of brain as well as brawn, has popularized the game for the non-aca- demic fans, Numbering of the players is a con- cession which the guardians of the game have grudgingly made in response to public demand. Football in election years has a strong competitor in public interest until after election, But in No- vember the gridiron game stages a grand come-back. “A” OR “THE: ? MMBDIATELY after his election was conceded, Senator Harding assured a correspondent of the Globe that that newspaper “need have no appre- hension about our entry into a league or associa- tion of nations.” : The Globe having supported the Harding candi- dacy without renouncing its allegiance to the League of Nations, the Republican President-elect may be assumed to have meant his statement—am- biguous in its literal form—as an assurance that some league or association of nations to safeguard peace will be one of his first and foremost aims. Now that Republican victory is an accomplished fact, it will be interesting to watch the Republican pressure that will be brought to bear upon Senator Harding to induce him by imperceptible gradations to identify his ‘‘a” league of nations with THE ex- isting League of Nations. The curve which Taft, Hoover, Wickersham and Root try to persuade the pliable Harding to de- scribe need not be too sharp or crude, There can still be plenty of talk about reserva- tions. There can still be a lively pretense of Kepublican- izing the covenant, thereby saving the country from the perils that awaited it if it had gone into the League under Democratic auspices. Senator Harding has more than once refused to define his foreign policy on the ground that it would be determined by conditions as he later found them. These conditions might at,any moment be con- veniently invoked to explain another whirl of the Harding weather-yane that left it poititing not. leagueward but Leagueward, ! It is true this could not be managed without a row with Borah and Johnson, the “bitter-enders.” But with a new Republican majority of eighteen in the Senate, it may be questioned whether the voices of Borah and Johnson will carry as far as herétofore in Republican councils. The great purpose which madg Taft and Hoover fellow<ampaigners with Borah and Johnson is achieved. There is no longer any reason why the pro- League element of the Republican Party—which is also the brainiest and most influential element— should go to extreme lengths to propitiate Republi- can League-haters. The “intellegent the League. Herbert Hoover is not the only Republican who believes that “to reopen the Treaty of Versailles for re-negotiation would bring complete chaos to Europe and calamity on us.” To make Haniing reverse himself and kiss the covenant he has kicked need present few difficul- ties as far as he personally is concerned. But it would have to be done with finesse to save Republican dignity. Elihu Root is equal to such a job.

Thomas B, Gregory ¢ by the Prem Publisht Jehu, the founder of the fifth d¥- hasty of the Kingdom of Israel, was what we would call in the present- day vernacular a “hustler.” He appears to have been the organ iser of the cavairy arm in warfare, and in the charge, which he alwayw led jn person, he never spared the steed on which he rode to victory. He could out-ride Phil Sheridan or "Job" Stuart, Anticipating by twenty-six centuries the belief of Gen. Fort- rest of Confederate fame, that the “great thing in war Is getting there first with the most mien,” Jehu often had the enemy licked before they fairly realized what was going on. Jehu makes his first real break into the full daylight of histery in. the midst of the craasest of romance. (LL. Kings, Chap. 9.) He waa at the time,Captain of the Horse under King Jehoram at, the siege of Ramoth-Gilead. It may be well to remember that this Jehoram was the gon of Jezebel, the terrible wife of Ahab, the fanatical destroyer of the worship of Israel While in the midst of a bunch of Jehoram's offi + wild-looking man jrushed up to Jehu, uncovered @ ves- sel of oli, poured it over Jehu's ead, and declared him King pt Israel, with the announcement that his divine mis- sion was to destroy the “House. of Having done this the strange enger disappeared, — / In a moment the enthusiasm of the army took fire. Throwing their gar ments under Jehu's feet so as to form a rough carpet of state they placed him on the top of a stairway as on an extempore throne, blew the royal ealute on the trumpets, and pro- claimed him king Immediately Jetm cut off all com- munication between Ramoth-Gilead Jand Jezreel, Jehoram's capital, and at full speed with a band of nen for Jezreel.

The writer of that letter can be shown the error of Nis | ways through those wonderful “Let- ters From the People." The opinions of that man are'much more harmless published than unpub- Ushed, Confined within him, the man's views are likely to master his reason- ing self and turn him Into a danger- ous radical, But printed before the world, his opinions will surely bring comments from fellow readers, and these are likely to change him.

Now, it was not so about twenty-five years ago in Nyack. 1 well remember being present at an “entertainment” given under the auspices of a church in the old Nyack Opera House, at Which a girl of about fourteen years clad In the fleshiest of tights, capered so charmingly in front of the old ga footlights that {t made no difference that she did not sing, and very ttth difference that she tried to, but did not dance, 1 distinctly remember that there were many gasps all over the house, and we had “ohs” as well as “a-ahs.” But, although [t was casy to sée that a number of old ladies were having the time of their lives being shocked, it was also easy to see that because @ church was connected with the undertaking nothing disparaging would be said openly. The gasps and sniffs though certainly made the psychological atmosphere murky for some time after. But there is something else remem- bered about it all. There were many in the theatre who could appre youth und beauty, and {t was ob they did so. Just think, to the latter the evening was more or less lovely, because they vould look on youth ax it rea 1 mind's eye only for something bean- tiful.

Rockefeller succeeded because he wanted to be rich, and never thought about anything but his business till he got rich. As a result he is not a widely educated man, possibly not the best company imaginable, but he is probably the richest man in the world. Rockefeller and Carnegie both, after they had got a start, discovered that the only way to amass immense for- tunes was to give men of brains a chance to make fortunes themselves. 2 ‘They did not try to hire men like H. H. Rogers and Charles M. Schwab, for they knew that such men could not be hired. They took them into partnership and gave them a chance to make their own fortunes while they were making great enterprises out of Rockefellér's oil industry and Car- negie’s steel industry. y Theodore Roosevelt succeeded in public life because he loved public life better than anything else in the world, and patiently learned to understand people and to know what was in their minds, No American ever born had the same talent for public life that Roosevelt had, or used it to better advantage, Joseph Pulitzer became a brilliant suecess beeause he believed in the people, and made his newspapers fight for the people. There was never a time in bis life when his own interests were considered in his direction of his news- Usually it is papers. These men of course were born with great natural talent, without which there can be no gigantic success. But their lives and work serve to guide other men, Study successful men, find out why they were success It will always help you. There is something in all suecess that is inspiring. And if you read the biographies of the successful men you will discover that without exception they themselves were interested in other successful inen, and could never find out enough about the methods other men employed ‘to suceeed, ful.
