DERICARP was strangely at leisure when

usually SO intensely absorbed in his investi-
cations that he neglects the ordinary courte-
sizes and receives his callers without any
salutatlons and allows them TO depart WIN

The position of arbiter with the War
Labor Board which Mr.. Taft accepted with
entire serenity. was one which no man
with thoughts of a political future could
approach without chils of despair The
decisions which such an officer had 20
make were almost sure to invite. the
animosity and even the distrust OF the
two great groups in which the energies OF
the country are divided There was little
possibility of wholly satisfying either side
In the processes of compromise.
Mr.. Taft boldly advanced constructive
ideas quite as novel, from the viewpoint OF
conventional.minded America, as Mr.. viii
sons policies have appeared from the
viewpoint of conventional. minded Europe.
lie has said many wholesome but unwe-
come things 10 both parties In the endless
controversy. What Is most interesting.
however, is the constant growth OF the
mans mind In an address here the other
day he told of his view OF labor from the
upon It, and the view from the head Of
the War Labor Board table.
"Tne first" he said, was the question
in the pure light Of legal right and wrong.
The other was the question In the light
OF conciliation. reconciliation and arbitra-
ton"

views. There Is a world OF Significance for

sky concealed the stars. It was Z 80 o'clock.
There was a wheeled chair or two slowly
rolling along Here and there was soldier
in khaki with lady on his arm and about
as many men in naval uniforms similarly
accompanied. The domes and turrets and
belvidercs Of the two biggest hotels raised
themselves into the gloom like the towers of

lacquer overlaid with golden plates, was the
ineffable Buddha himself with the ruby in

an ornate niche nanked by pillars with a

golden table on which stood an incense
burner, also golden, ready for the use of the
devout If any such there might be prepared
to worship any otheri god than the golden

Since we have entered the war all po.
litical leaders have had opportunities TO be
unselfsh and larse.minded. Almost with
out exception they have let the blessed
opportunity go by. Their minds were
without the wings that could have given
them view over party walls. Their am
billions blinded them. That Is why you
will find an instructive drift Of sentiment
toward Mr.. Taft wherever men talk poll
tics. We have become suddenly aware
that Mr.. Taft has been too busy thinking
about the country to think about himself
and that he is rapidly and unconsciously
becoming the biggest man in his party.
1t is fashionable to call Mr.. Taft cheer.
full man. The fact OF the matter is that he
has gifts of wisdom and philosophy. Wise
men are never selfish. If Mr.. Taft has a
placid heart it is because he happens to
be wise and generous. Such qualities make
of any man a victor in life--which is the
| only thing that really matters.
What we are permitted to witness now
in the case of our one eX.President is the
old miracle Of bread upon the waters that
| returns after many days. Everybody was
! fighting for the spotlight while the war
was being fought, and the air was filled
with the clamors and appeals OF men who
contributed only vOcally to the nations
good.
1t was Taft who worked devotedly in
relative obscurity at extraordinarily diff
| cult tasks and contributed most largely to
| such constructive policies as we are evolv
ing to meet our problems at home. Hi,
seemed to be a thankless service. And ye
he is now in the position of a man whC
patiently gives the best that is in him to {
forgotten task and suddenly finds th'
world clamoring at his door with gifts.

DERICARP paused again and was silent
L for some time, Then he sighed and be-
gan once more TO think aloud:
Before ! started back to my room looked
out to the east. where the sea ought to be.
! had been hearing its gentle swishing like
the rustic of silken draperies in the wind.
There was nothing visible but the purple
blac<ness of a curtain shutting out all the
world, trimmed its bottom with flut-
terng border of white lace where it rested
on the strand at the edge of the waters
'"rhe next morning I was on the Board
walk by 10 o'clock. The sole occupant Of
the beach was a gull as big as a goose, hunt
ing for clans just above the breaking surf

II on the sand to break the shell. Yes, sir.
They know how TO get enough TO eat As
the day grew older the Walk gradually be-
came populous and there were pedestrians
by the hundred and two rows of wheeled
chairs moving in opposite directions. There
were men in the crowd. but women and chill
dren predomlnated. At my hotel the next
dsy--I succeeded in getting into hotel on
Monday could easily see thirty guests at
table from my seat IN the dining room with
out turning my head. Six OF them were men
and the rest were women. ] heard some one
who had been at the shore two months re-
mark that almost every one there seemed to
have been sick and was seeking health. II

There is something very alluring about
Mr. Taft's occasional references to his
work with the War Labor Board-an in
sistent suggestion that he himself has not
recognized the value of his work The
operation of the labor board was in a sense
casual. Yet il has laid the great founda-
tions, set great precedents 1t opened the
way for a peaceful and permanent solution
of all the unsettled questions that have
been harassing industry and labor in
America. 1t was to the question Of better
relationships between workers and indus
try rather than 10 the mere settlement OF
occasional disputes that Mr.. Taft has de-
voted a gifted and generous mind. That
is a fundamental matter. 1t Is some
thing that needs the best attention that
can be accorded It. The question will
tower in the future. Its proper settlement
will bring greater peace and health and
happiness, more powerful and spirited
nation, general welfare, general prosperity.
