BEING PRESIDENT.

Something over eight years ago
Woodrow Wilson was comparatively
young man, governor of New Jersey
and, except for a Presidential nomi-
nation, due soon for retirement into
private life to be spent in the pursuits
of happiness. But he got the presi-
Dental nomination.
Today Woodrow Wilson is an old
man who ought to be still young; bro
ken in health, bitterly disillusioned
and disappointed political leader.
Six months ago Warren G. Harding
was a care-free senator not over-bur-
dened, as burdens go, with either work
or care His friends were all who
knew him.
Today, observers note, Mr.. Harding
is growing taciturn" under the pres
sures put upon him; and men who
used to slap him on the back and call
him Warren now stand off and salute
him with much restraint.

A PLEA FOR THE NEW YEAR.
Thou Ruler of our destiny,


Thou Ruler of our destiny,
This New Years Day we pray
That angry winds and earthly storms
Be banished far away;
Calm the TEMPEST rough and wild
Ere it engulfs Thy own dear child
Thy peace impart this day.
Good tidings of great joy" l bring;
A message old but new,
Down through the centuries it comes
With a special significance for you.
The heart of stone must melt in love,
For the Day Star is risen in heaven
above,
And the commandments of God are
true.
This new year, | pray, may be the
most blessed and happiest of your life.

Santa. The most attractive of his

generations. We might say that this
has been an interesting characteristic

Of man this has been distinguished as
high honor and sacred Among the
Greek philosophers it was trimmed in
particular style as a mark of pro-
fession. Among the Romans it was
considered disgrace not to wear a
beard. The English wore theirs very
/ long so as to distinguish their society.
Later the cutting of boards came in
fashion. Then about the fourteenth
century people got to shaving, not
only their faces but their heads. Grad
ually one extreme followed another
until a mustashe came in fashion
which today is carried out especially
by the Italian race. This is very sell
dom seen among the Americans. Prob
ably the agriculturists find that Am
erica does not have a good soil for
this production.

cannot afford to ignore labor in the
new cabinet.
There is another thing that is in
Zihlman's favor for a Cabinet post.
That is Maryland, one of the nor
mally democratic Southern States,
went heavily republican in the last No
vember elections. The South, say
many congressman and political lead
ers, should, in view of the fact, be
recognized by at least one Cabinet
post in the Harding Administration.
If such Reorganization is given it is
probable that the republicans will be
able to make further inroads in the
Democratic South four years hence.

OFFICE SEEKERS AFTER TAFT
Leaders Nearly Driven Frantic By the
Horde of Persistent Place Hunters

Horde of Persistent Place Hunters
Galen L. TAFT, chairman of the Re-
publican State Central Committee of
Maryland, who went South for long
rest following the Republican victory
in November, has returned to the ma
tional capital, where he has his law
offices, and he is now busy lodging
officeseekers.
Because of the prominent position
which he holds in the party councils,
Mr.. Tait's support is sought by scores
of applicants for federal positions I'M
der the next administration. Some of
them are satisfied with the promise of
proper consideration "when the time
comes" but others are not so easily
disposed of, and they not only call fire.
quently upon Mr. TAFT, but they have
their friends back up their application
by telling of the great service they
rendered the party in the recent cam
paign.
So persistent are some of the office
seekers and so rapidly is their number
increasing that the Republican leaders
are almost driven frantic in trying to
placate them and devise ways and
means to prevent split in the party.
Because of the situation it is be-
lieved that the leaders will hold a
council before the date mentioned by
Senator France-after the inaugural
ton of President Harding which
slate will be agreed upon. 1t would

Regardless of the personnel of the
selections, the leaders feel that some
dissatisfaction may ensue because
there are not jobs enough to goaround.
The opinion, however, prevails that

stand together and no pressure will
UT6dh IL.
Like the other leaders, Mr.. TAFT is
not making any promises, but it is
known that he has some preferences
for some of the places to be filed, and
when the time comes he will have his
say.
He refuses to disclose his own am
billions, but it is generally known in
Republican circles that he prefers the
collectorship of internal revenue to
any other berth open in Maryland
Other Republican leaders in the state
are disposed to give Mr.. TAFT much
credit for the victory in November
and they are willing for him to select
his own post.

MARRYING ON $125 A MONTH

From the Nashville Tennessean.
 .1NREsS dispatches from Chicago l state that the federal reserve
 bank in that city considers mar riage by any of its male employees who are receiving less than s125 a month salary a risk to the institution and forbids such unless the would-be bene- dict first consults the chief clerk O. R. Mckay. vice governor of the bank, explains this ruling by saying that I've do not want our employees toget in a situation where they may find them selves in desperate need of money, and we are afraid that marriage on short funds Is likely to put man in that sit uation."
 Many women representatives of Chi cago's civic and professional activities disagree with the banks idea. Mrs. Joseph c. Bley, founder of the House. wives League. said that If it were turned around to mean that a man about to marry must have a living wage, I would agree. But this rule, if enforced generally, would be a ma tional calamity" Mrs. Gertrude Howe Britton of Hull House stated that T feel young people have the right to govern their own lives. It is too bad though, that so many young men are not getting enough to marry on"
 The bank officials look upon the matter from a coldly economic stand point, while the women vie iwt from a sociological and humanitarian stand point, while the women view it from full if the federal reserve bank could enforce it's ruling, The institution is

the charge could easily bs made xhnH obnoxious paternalism was bsing pras- ticved by government officials. It as true that 6 parallel of 2 sort extsted in the old regular army whSn no pr1- vate was permitted to marry without consent of his superior officers. But that was more or less formaIiky. If the applicant had an easy berth at some post he was certain to receive the chaplain's blessing and the coloneps congratulations.
 On reflection it can be beAunderstocd why bank officials would not care for their employees to place themselves in position which might result In morally weak man being tempted to commit crime. But we doubt the wis dom of the methods which the officials have adopted in order to gain their ends. It would have been more dip1o- matic, had a statement been issued re- questfng that intending grooms first consult some official higher than the chief clerk. This act of patronage would make the youngster feel that the big boss whoever he might be. was taking a personal interest in his private welfare, and he, therefore. would be more susceptible to words Of wisdom.
 This case is just asaother ilsustIations showing that the real leaders of men, are scarce It is one thing to issue sl cold-blooded order and cause dissatis / vastly better-for a high official to gain compliance to his wishes by diplo- macy. The man who can achieve the latter is the real executive, who does not need force to win attention.

 But like many social philosophers, the Oregon specialist fails to assemble all the essential facts. There is not a particle of evidence to show why he puts Seattle down as the best city or as the worst. When those terms hinge on community's moral tone and the findings of police courts, it is impossible to present the points upon which they are judged unless criminal records are thorough ly analysed.
 Seattle may be distinguished for it's good order and the sobriety of it's people. But no one familiar with Bir- mingham, be he sociologist, preacher or ordinary detective, will say that Birmingham is bad town. It is fast growing to be one of the best.

 The strength of Senator Oscar w.. Underwood as candidate to suc- ceed himself in the upper house is what his friends and supporters had reason to believe it would be.

 The Underwood forces grow stronger day by day. The prohibition leaders realize this fact. Hence it is that they have sent out a hurry call.
