The honor of having held these two highest offices in the Nation falls to William Howard Taft, who realizes in his appointment to the Chief Justiceshiy what he has frankly declared to be the great am- bition of his life. Of Mr. Taft's high qualifications there is no ques- tion, The country has long known him for a dis- tinguished lawyer and eminent Judge. Not only training and experience, but temperament as well, fit him to become one of the great jurists of the American bench, Not that the judicial temperament has kept Mr. Tatt from playing an active and earnest part in struggles over large issues. One of the biggest moments in the career of th!s Republican ex-President was when he stood beside a Democratic President on the stage of the Metro- jlitan Opera House in this city and vigorously championed the League of Na as an transcending partisanship. We are certain Mr. Taft’s hope and belief that President Harding would tinally decide to go into the League were sincere. Nor do we like to think that even the Chief Jus- ticeship will cause Mr. Taft either to forget that hope sappoiniment if it is not fulfilled. issue ions or to feel less d If only the fight ticket counterfeiters can cause the fight ticket speculators to lose, then all will be forgiven them. BLUE SPORTSMANSHIP. ROFESSIONAL “reformers” have failed in their efforts to stop the fight in New Jersey The methods these “reformers” adopted explains the rocky road real reform has to travel The truth of the matter is, these long-faced sportsmen. The majority every- sportsmen—or at least admire spoil sports are poor where good sportsmanship. A considerable element of the population may disapprove of prizefighting. But it also disapproves “reformers” who hold their fire until the eleventh hour and then resort to legal sharp-practice in thei are The time for the New Jersey anti element to have »pposed the bout was when Tex Rickard first pro- posed it. Effort to stop the tight then might have material support. By waiting until the promoter, the principals and the fans had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in preparation, the “reformers” alienated most of the sympathy they could have counted on in a fa opposition movement, IN “BAGDAD-ON-THE-SUBWAY.” se the ghost of O, Henry must have accompanied the New York newspaper re- porters sent to “cover the story of Frank—or Franz—Sehwarz, who won the coveted award of the Prix de Rome at the moment when his landlady was prepared to evict him tor non-payment of rent.

By train, by ship, by weroplane and by motor the fight fans are gathering for the greatest pugi tic encounter ever. Preparations for distributing the n the last word in scientit and th inter-com- pictiires are munication. The Highbrows may cogitate over the common denomimitor of the human race. But the Low- brows will demonsirate it around a ring twenty feet square. Here in the United States we have long assumed, and rightly, that the champion heavyweight of this Nation must be the champion of the world. Now there is serious doubt, and the fight to-morrow will decide. May the best man win, By happy circumstance the alien challlenger is a personality. Carpentier has been well press- agented, and he has made good on his advertise- ments. He has made friends and is no longer a stranger in a strange and hostile land. Win or lose, he will have his supporters to-morrow night. If he wins he will have more. Whatever the result to-morrow, the winner will be acclaimed by the great majority. A victory for either will be popular if the fight is a good one Whichever wins, the fans will be saying “I told you so” and “The champ is SOME fighting man.” BY HIS OWN JUDGMENTS. HER that President Harding means to do what the Berah amendment to the Naval Appropriation Bill requests and authorizes him to do. Those who profess this belief expect the Presi- dent to send prompt invitations to Great Pritain and Japan to confer with this Nation on the posst- | bility of an agreement to cut naval expenditures. We sincerely hope that such is President Har- 3 is reported to be belief in Washi ding’s intention For ihe country io settle back in comfortable con- viclion that the thing is as good as done would, however, be foolish. In the first place, the President himself has shown the reverse of enthusiasm toward any such concrete, straighlaway move toward disarming as that to | which the Borah amendment points. | Nor did the President's letter to Republican | Leader Mondell indicate real yielding. Careful reading of that letter shows that what the President did was graciously to permit Congress to express itself on the subject of disarmament in a definite, practical proposition of the sort the the himselt toward such a proposition only so far as country demands—at sume time committing | | | polite promise to give it “every consideration.” The President does not frankly say he will do what Congress asks him to do toward hastening irmament, as representing the earnest desire of a majority of the American people. Instead, he refers to studies and inquiries alread) the “administrative branch of on the “general subject of disa | undertaken by the Government” rma- and delicately suggests that whatever speed the ment” Congress may urge, Adminisiration will stick to its own If he persists in setting up the executive branch of the Government as an obsiacle in the way of the legislative branch on the path toward disarmament and relief fram intolerable tax burdens, President | Harding will make a disastrous mistake.

The story of The Net—Matt. xiii, 47-50—is one that cannot be properly appreciated by those who are strangers to the facts of history. One of the profoundest of the parables of Jesus, |t is yet as clear as day to such as hap- pen to be familiar with the trend of events as depicted by the pen of the historian, The Providence of G INTO i—the Divine Forces immanent in the affairs of men—may very appropriately be likened to the fisherman casting his net into the waters. God is forever casting His great Net and drawing it in again. Day and night, all through the ages, He is busy at {t, casting it out and pulling it in, cast- ing it out and pulling it in. Every one who has much knowledg¢. of the finny tribe knows that the fisherman brings in with his net fishes of “every kind,” fishes that are "good" and fishes that are “bad,” and that he keeps the good and throws away the worthless, It was this fact that Jesus mede the basis of his story, In bu- and action, in the pur- and practice of men, there is d and there is bad. ‘There is no doubt about it, Without stopping to argue the old question © MORAL EVIL, we admit the fact of its existence, as indeed we are obliged to do. man thought pa between evil and P18 NO compromise.
