CURRENT COMMENT
The Front Porch of America.

II would be hard to find houses more
unlike than those two in Marion, O.,
and Northampton, Mass, wherein fame
has tentatively perched The Coolidge
home has New England plainness and
dignity. not to say stiffness, and the
modesty of its dimensions is its chief
distinction. The voters willing, il will
be able TO boast of being the only two
family house that ever held a vice
president.
The Harding house is quite another
matter. 1t has, judging by the pictures,
that air of comfortable prosperity
which is the essence OF the American
home. There are thousands of houses
exactly like il scattered all over the
middle west. II is neither very bad
nor very good, architecturally speak
ing. Its chief fault in respect Of looks
is its being perched some three feet off
the ground, in that strange fashion
which ruled supreme for half century
in American building-as if there was
some moral reason why a house must
be as disconnected with its site as pos.
sible.
But if this boosting of house off
the ground is bad for art il at least
created that wholly elegant form upon
the Harding home, the American porch.
Perhaps these noble platforms were
evolved to support that article of Amer
lean faith by which every American
boy is looked upon by his parents as
a possible, not TO say rather likely,
president. Certainly in the case Of
Young Warren Gsmaliel Harding the
fates builded with prophetic foresight.
The Harding porch is clearly wonder
full creation, long and wide and re-
splendent, bullying into one of those
baby bandstands at one end plainly
predestined TO reverberate with ora
tory. The Coolidge home has a front
porch, of course II is a reticent thing
by comparison with the Harding crea
ton, but it is a porch all right.

dial welcome of the new Germany into
the circle of free peoples to keep the
old feud from entering into new
phase, and it promises more security
to France than the military plans IA
yored by Marshal Foch. Already that
part of his plan which concerns eastern
Europe has gone wrong. His eastern
front" failed TO materialiZe, the move
ments which he supported proved to
be contrary to the will of the people
His Polish campaign seems likely TO De
another fiasco; II has already failed as
far as the smashing of Russian and the
recreation of the Polish empire are con
eerned. But to bring Russia, after TINS
effort to dismember il, into coalition
for the enlightenment OF Germany is out
of the question for long time to come
no matter who rules at Moscow.
On other fronts the case goes no
better for the policy for which Mar
shall Foch stands An American army
still keeps watch on the Rhine, but
America has no desire to make that
watchc permanent, and 1t would be
difficult to get support in this com
try in war due to encroachment on
Germany. Great Britain is loyal TO the
entente, but il does not share the views
OF Marshal Foch. and already the reia-
tions between France and Great Brit.
ain have become too severely strained
to warrant a permanent policy which
would strain them still further. Mar
shall Foch points to the way out when
he urges "the overcoming of the hostile
and militarist spirit of the German peo-
ple.w II is not TO be overcome BY hos
tility and militsrism.--Springheld Re-

Early reports from San Francisco re-
gsrding the hospitality shown the dele
gates from various parts Of the country
indicate that San Francisco people inn
proved materially on the treatment
which Chicago accorded the Republican
delegates during the recent convention
held in that city San Francisco appsr.
emily took the position that it wished
10 have another convention of similar
nature within a reasonable number of
years, and, therefore, could not afford
to gouge the visitors. On the other
hand, Chicago seems to have gone on
the theory that a bird in the hand is
worth two in the bush and to have
acted accordingly San Francisco's rep
utatics for hospitality promises TO be
maintained.
