THOSE PRESIDENTIAL BooMs
Mann, Whitman and Willis as Rivals-Tho Per
feet "Lame Duck"
By EDWARD ". TOWNSEND

n1HE recent return OF Mr.. Herrick from
i Paris and its attendant Presidential boom
give added interest to the activities and
demeanor, and, so far as they can be dis
covered, the views OF James r. Mann, Re
publican floor leader in the House Of Rep
resentatives With hope Of starting some-
thing i greeted Mr.. Mann the other day as
"Mr. President" He laughed. then shook
his head and said: "All very pretty, very
sweet, but there's nothing to it," In more
serious vein he expressed this as his views
in relation TO this interesting subject II
think today the two men who should be most
considered by Presidential slate makers are
Governor elect Whitman. of New York. and
Governor elect Willis, Of Ohio. Each is from
a State whose electoral vote is highly inn
portant; each comes from State that has
sent men from the Governors chair to the
White House. and each comes from State
in which political conditions are keeping ma
tlonal politicians guessing"
Unless my recollection is at fault there
was once a Governor of Ohio known as Fog
Horn Allen" Of whom 1t was said that he
could make a speech to Cleveland or to Cin-
cinnati quite as we'll from Columbus or from
any other place This. II may be guessed, was
a delicate allusion to the volume and carry
ing power of his voice. In one respect, at
least, Congressman Willis, now Governor
elect of Ohio, can fill the place left vacant
by "Fog Horn Allen" He has a voice OF
singular resonance and carrying power But
that is not his only possession of merit. Like
SO many politicians from Ohio like Garfield
himself, Willis was schoomaster before he
became Congressman. He taught, I think,
some branch OF English, although he is an
advanced scholar in mathematics and also
may have taught in that branch OF learning
He can use that big voice OF his readily and
effectively in debate. He is one OF the biggest
men physically in the House since the trans
lation OF ollie James to the Senate. He is
very good mixer and a genial chap withal
So that these qualities, added to the circum-
stances OF his recent slambang success in
Ohio and the circumstances regarding poltti-
cal conditions in Ohio. seem to justify Mr.
Mann's opinion that Governor Willis must
be taken seriously into consideration by those
who are making up Presidential states.
Lame-duek stories have been rather over.
done, and for that reason I viii venture just
this one Congressman Burke, OF South Da-
kota, Republican, unexpectedly met defeat.
We all remembered him as an alert, vigorous.
outstanding, quick-stepping man. 30 when he
returned on Monday and entered the House
chamber so lame from rbeumatisn1 that he
was aiding his progress with two erutches.
the situation threw all sympathy TO the dogs
and there was a howl OF laughter. Poor
Burksl He bore the chafing good naturedly
although 200 or 800 men said to him, WELL

Let IL Alone

POSTMASTER BURLBSONS annual re-
4 port will be famous for the amount OF
dissent It will call forth. Many of his state
ments are open to doubt, and most of his
conclusions are capable of contradiction

tai invested and pays no taxes upon its prop
erty7 Is a department of government worthy
81 congratulation that derives a large part
OF it's income by compelling the railroads to
carry parcels at a rate below the actual cost

government be sanely offlcered that coolly
proposes to acquire the telephone and tele-
graph lines of the country under conditions
that prohibit the Government from operating
them successfully7
But OF all the recommendations advanced
BY Mr.. Burleson the most disastrous is that
OF the return to the contract system for
rural delivery When the star-route system
was in vogue 1t gave occasion for a crop of
the most disgraceful scandals that ever dis
figured our Government. To return to It
now Is simply to invite the old species of
eorruption in almost every congressional dis
sr4ct. II the Administration wishes to create
q new and Irresistible political machine, If
h wishes to multiply the temptations to
graft, II It wishes to make mail delivery in
efficient and uncertain, II It wishes to en-
trench political contractors in the Federal
as in municipal government, then reintro-
duce the star-route system.
On almost every point he makes Postmas-
ter Burleson will hnd the thoughtful and ex-
perienced people of the country against him
IL the department is really doing we'll for the
FIRST time since the days Of Benjamin Frank
lin, then for goodness sake let 1t alone and
give 1t a chance to do better.

MOI Ono Cont for Innk

M 1LL1oNs for ships and not one cent for
A'A American workmenl That, it seems, is
the intention OF washington at a time when
unemployment has deluged the charitable
agencies of the country for months, and the
onrush of prosperity is still more prophetic
than real
There come from Washington flood Of
proposals. all designed to throw the Govern
ment into private business and correspond
ingly circumscribe the opportunities for pri-
vate venture No business is oonspicuously
successful that Government ownership is not
urged, and no industry has been practically
legislated out OF existence that 1t Is not pro-
without in any way softening the statutes
which have caused the ruin.
The President admits that our merchant
marine has been strangled by Congress. He
suggests no remedial measures, but proposes,
on the contrary, that millions be taken from
the Treasury for the purchase of ships He
is going to put the American flag back
the ocean IL every dollar in the Treasury has
to be squandered in the attempt.
Where will the ships be got? In American
shipyards? No, the plan is to buy the dere-
licts OF other nations to spend vast sums in
the acquisition of tubs. No wonder there
are powerful influences at work in favor of
the ip-purchase measure. There are steam
ship companies that would profit from it
vastly They want to unload they see a
chance to put their fingers into the public till
and extract therefrom great quantities Of
gold. The junk dealers are out in force.
There should be no Government merchant
marine. But If hysteria is not yet ended, and
this latest laundering program is adopted,
not one dollar should be spent except in
American shipyards. The need is not so ext
gent as the public is asked to believe There
are plenty of carriers available for imme-
diate use. Put the taxpayers money back
into the industries of the nation, underwrite
with it the prosperity of our own establish
ments, revive the marine by revitalzing the
builders of a marine, give American labor a
chance No money for dilapidated and worn
out junk. Not one cent unless 1t goes into
the pockets of American workmen.
