A CHANGING VIEWPOINT

THE SENATE galleries were
 l crowded yesterday in Wash lngton to hear the dulcet strains of Senator Harding's swan song as a Senator. It was not a remarkable speech. Almost any competent busi- have done as well under the stimu- Jus of strong feeling.
 There were in the speech the pleas ant things about his fellow members and his regret at leaving the body which were to be expected, and a dig at the Democrats for being "some- times insistently wrong," which prob ably was to be expected also. Aside from this there were two points de- serving of comment.
 The first shows the already chang ing attitude of the Senator toward the powers of the Executive. Three months before he will enter into his duties as President Warren GamalieI begins to realize that it makes a diff ference from which end of the ave- nue matter is viewed. After empha- sizing his great respect for the Sen ate he says:
 When my responsibilities be- gin in the Executive capacity shall be as mindful of the Senate | responsibilities as I have been zealous of them as a member, but I mean at the same time to pe just as inSiStent about the re- sponsibilit3es of the Executive Our governmental good fortune does not lie in any surrender at either end of the avenue. but in the coordination and co-opera-s tion which becomes the two in a great and truly representative | popular government"
 How quickly the prediction con- demnataon of individuality in the
 chief Executive begins to fade away
 and how easily one recognizes the
 continuance of the struggle, as old as
 the government, indicated in the
 words just as insistent about the re-
 responsibilities of the Executive" How
 rapidly the importance of the Senate | dwindles in walking from a seat or
 it's floor to a desk in the White | House.
 The second statement of the Sena. |
 called was made near the end of tn.
 speech. After urging the Senate te make the next three months fruit
 fuF' he said:
 There is much to be done, ant
 we have already had so much of de
 lay, that I should like unanimou
 recognition that there are no part! ends to serve, but precious days ar calling for service to our common country"
 This statement, no matter how sin cere the Senator was in making it is condemnation Of the actions O } himself and his party. There ha been much to be done and preciou
 days upon days have been waste, 7 and it was Senator Harding's part, l with his help which made those day

EDITORIAL NOTES

Another count in the indictment against the fly is seen in the report from Minnesota that a group of scien- lists think they have found the cause of the much dreaded infant:1e paral- ysis and that it is traceable to the larvae of the greenbottle fly. It is much to be desired that the cure which these men think is just within their reach may be found, but whe- ther it is not at this time, here is abundant evidence that flies of any and all kinds should be exterminated as far as possible on every and all occasions.
 Perhaps nowhere in the world is the desire to return to "normalcy'' more pronounced than in Greece Yesterday by overwhelming majori- ties the people voted for the return of former King Constantine It would look as if they were just as pro- German as he was.
 President Wilson, in spite of the remonstrance of his wife and doctor, is said to be determined to read his message to Congress tomorrow. It is characteristic Of the man and it is to be hoped that Congress will be giv- en an opportunity to see and hear once more the man that for two years it has been trying to destroy.
 More efficiency than reports from there for the last year would warrant one in expecting on the part of a New York detective, and something of the "penny-dredfuP' characteris- tics, are evident in the tale of Thomas Mcclure, who shrewdly placed the mirrors on dressing table at such angles that from a convenient closet he could watch the movements of a window washer, and caught him in the act of thieving. It would be re- freshing if an equal amount of ingen- uity was oftener exhibited in the ef- forts to discover crooks and cr.min- alS.
 It is reported that Senator Harding is planning to make a speech in the Senate con Monday. One report says that some of the Republican Senators are opposed. Undoubtedly they have in mind some of the speeches which the Senator made during the cam. paign, but the gentlemen evidently forgot for the moment that there. is no longer any danger that anything the Senator may say will tend to de- feat his election.
