Harding refers to "the large part Ohio
has taken in the national councils of
the party"
A large and very distinguished part.
The Buckeye state has grown some

have figured in great affairs. And she
has shown appreciation Of their serv.

porting their aspirations for promo

Sherman President, but could not
overcome his lack Of popularity else
where. She had better luck with
Hayes, and Garfield, and Mckinley,
and Taft, and saw them installed in
the White House.

Washington's Development.

The proposed memorial shrine to be
erected at Catholic University, pic
ture of which was printed in The
Star yesterday, will be striking ad-
dition to the monumental features of
the capital. Washington's notable
structures have during the last twenty
years grown in number. The Lincoln
Memorial is one of these. It is not
yet completed, but is fully outlined
and the promise of its impressiveness
is fully disclosed. The Episcopal
Cathedral on the heights northwest Of
the city will, when finished, be COM
handing feature of the local land
scape The Catholic University me-
mortal, as designed, will present a
novel type that will be conspicuous
and will add materially to the at

ton is now developing as a world city
and is destined to possess remark
able number of imposing architectural
features. Plans are now in embryo
for .other. constructions that if they
are developed and executed will make
this the most attractive city in the
world.

Still on the Job.

9, Predictions of the "end of the
world" have come at almost regular
intervals for a good many years. They
have always been credited by large
number Of people and have caused
much uneasiness in many breasts.
Sometimes they have had inspiration
in religious beliefs, sometimes, but
more rarely, they have been based
upon scientific data, supposedly au-
thentic OF the latter character was
the prediction made some time ago
that December Il would witness the
destruction of this planet through the
conjunction of forces. An astronomer
OF no particular renown was SO quoted
and was evidently believed by many.
Yesterday came and passed, and the
world continues in its orbit, serenely
and undisturbed. Another millienial.
istic prophecy has been disproved.
Credulity in matters of expected
disaster passes comprehension. There
is strain in some people that re-
spends readily to presages and pre-
dictions of calamity. When mixed
with religious faith it reaches the
point of certainty. The Porta fore
east of mundane dissolution aroused a
degree of expectation that in some
places almos. went to the point of the
old Millerite prophecies, when people
disposed of their world goods and
donned Ascension robes" and pre-
pared to rise to the future state in

. rare orator and outspoken free
trader. Take George L. Converse, an
aggressive politician and outspoken
protectionist. Take Henry B. Payne,
. man of wealth and signal business
success. Take Calvin g. Brice, lawyer,
promoter and all-around political or
ganizer.
Strangely enough, while the Buck
eye democrats could never succeed in
securing even a nomination to the
presidency for one Of their number,
and their republican b1ethren were
winning right along and decorating
the state with the title of the "Mod,
ern Mother of Presidents" three years
ago they carried the state for the
democratic candidate for President by
ninety thousand majority. The re-
SILT, using the Rooseveltian descrip-
ton, was a "corker." The republicans
caught their breath in amazement,
while the democrats were little too
much surprised to explain But there
was NO getting away from the figures.
There they were, and there they are
today.
The friends Of Senator Harding are
very certain that no such thing could
happen under his leadership. Nomi-
nate him for President next year, and
Ohio, they promise, win return to her
old allegiance. Equally confident,
however, are the friends of Senator
Pom creme that if the democrats will
put their standard into his hands the
state will be found in the democratic
column again next year.
So stands the case today. Mr.. Hard
ing in his first term, and Mr.. Pome-
rene in the early days Of his second,
rank very high in the Senate az among
the forward-looking men Of that body;
and it b easy to calculate on the hum
ming character Of the Ohio campaign
next year II the one should carry the
republican and the other the demo-
cratic banner.

The Excess Profits Tax.

WHl1am d. COiFer OF the F6Qerai
Trade Commission urged before the
City Club last night that the excess
profits tax, which is considered by
most persons, but is not, a revenue
measure, should be repealed as means
Of reducing the high level Of prices.
This tax, he declared, was devised to
promote production during the time
of urgent national need during the
war, to equalfze conditions between
the sman-cost and the high cost pro-
duce7s. It has served its purpose now
and is NO longer needed 40 4 wartime
stimulant, and it should Be aban-
doned by the government, inasmuch
as it operates to keep all costs at
the high level, and to cause them to
rise.
This is matter for Congress to
consider in connection with tho whole
question Of revenue raising, which
must be taken in hand this winter
If, as Mr.. Colver declares, the excess
profits tax is not designed as . reve-
nue-maker; If, as he states, it costs, at
. rough guess, so cents in Administra-
ton to collect every dollar Of this
tax; if it serves mainly at present to
keep prices up and to send them high
ef, it should surely be abandoned.
These are questions for the ways and
means committee Of the House and
the finance committee Of the Senate to
ponder and decade.
Mr.. Colvefs reasoning in the prem
Uses is persuasive. The excess profits
tax was devised to give the hish.eost
plant 4 chance to produce goods the
government urgently needed for war
purposes, in competition with the low
cost plants, to equalize Transports
ton factors and other elements en-
teriag into production and delivery.
Had it not been for that tar It would
hsve been impossible for many plants
to enter into the production Of nee
ssssry materials, for they could have
been outbid in prices BY their more
fortunate competitors. Price was Of
small consideration with the govern
ment when the need for goods was
acute. Now that this need has passed,
and it ID the people who must have
materials and products, price Is q vital.
ly important factor. Competition must
be restored or rates will remain hieh.
Attorney General Palmer prsscribes
economies in buying, abstsntion from
needless purchases and hard work in
the production of goods as remedies
for high prices. Mr.. Colver, perhaps
subscribing to these prescriptions,
urges also the abolition Of the excess
profits tan. The people can themselves
adopt the Palmer measures, but Con.
gress alone can afford the relief that
may be obtainable through the remis-
sion Of this tar that now proves, If
Mr.. Colvef's statement il correct, to
be a heavy direct impost upon the
necessities of the people and is more.

Honor the Lincoln Statue.

The statue of Lincoln in front of
the courthouse is not in artistic har-
mony with its surroundings, and, what
is far worse, is not so located that 1t
receives the care and honorable and
tender consideration which as his
toric memorial monument it deserves.
The tall shaft which supports the
statue projects in ugly fashion as
from a hole in the sidewalk and its
whole unken1pt appearance is unat-
tractive from neglect.
When removed from this location,
which it fails to adorn and where 1t
fails to be honored, it should be trans
ported without undue and slurring de-
lay to a site where it will receive
the honor which it deserves as one
of the most interesting of the cspi-
tails historic souvenirs, as the first and
for many years the only symbol at
the capital of the peoples grateful and
loving regard for Lincoln and Of their
grief at his death.
If it is now found ugly as a work Of
art, that very inartistic crudeness
speaks eloquently of the sacrifices
made by Washington's poverty to pa
trietic devotion in erecting this me
mortal monument to our great Ameri-
can. our martyred President.
This tribute of appreciation, Of
gratitude and of devotion was prompt
and timely, anS the sacrifices which
attached to tb.. building of the monu-
ment proved he profound earnestness
and enthusiasm of the Washingtonians
who built it. Around it cluster senti-
mental and patriotic associations
which can never attach to the nations
belated tribute to Lincoln which, after
half a century has elapsed, is taking
shape as a beautiful Greek temple in
Potomac Park
If the statue can 60 to Fort Stevens
and to the tender care of the Wash
ingtonians of Brightwood, the location
will be historically appropriate, and
the memorial will receive due honor.
If the nation will honor Lincoln and
His memory more fully by placing In
Potomac Park Speedway the statue
which symbolizes the peoples me-
mortal tribute to Lincoln for fifty
years after his death, let the statue
70 to Potomac Park.
