THE THoucHT-NOT FORM.

IN his regular morning hour speech recently Senator
Pat Harrison assaied President Harding for deliver
ing his in person to Congress- saying That Pres
Harding doing the very thing for whcn Wilson
was criticized
And Harrison condemnng Harding for the very thing
in which he upheld Wilson.
In fact there any very pronounced criticism
Of Wilson for the method he adopted in giving his views
to Congress- People interested in the message not in
the form OF its delivery.
What Wilson was criticized for and rightly, was that
he treated his Congress like group OF school children
fearful Of his pedagogical BIRCH and that he deliberately
nouied the direct representatives OF the people.
No one lay that charge against Harding who in his
recent message declared:
Encroachments upon the functions OF Congress or at
tempted dciaon OF It's policy not o be thought or
much less attempted, but there is nsisent call FOR
harmony Of purpose and accord OF action"

its preservation by force. 1t provides
for merely consultation in case the
status quo Is threatened by an out
side power. Article IL comes, in fact,
from another source. II Is an adap-
tation of Article I OF the Anglo-Ja-
panese Treaty Of Alliance. as revised
in 1906 and renewed in 1911. Arti-
Gle 1 OF the Anglo-Japanese conven-
ton, says;
1T IS agreed that whenever. in the
opinion Of either Japan OF Great
Britain, any of the rights and inter
ests referred to in the preamble Of
this agreement are in jeopardy, the
two governments will communicate
with one another fully and frankly
and will consider in common the
measures which should be taken to
safeguard those menaced rights and
interests"
Since the four-power treaty sup
plants the Anglo-Japanese treaty il
was only natural to go to the latter
for suggestions in phraseology. The
pledge to come to the assistance OF
the other signatory in case OF unpro.
voked attacks or aggressive action
which the Anglo-Japenese compact
contained, has been dropped. There
Is no military alliance. The promise
OF consultation is retained. though
without any constraint to safeguare
rights menaced by an outside power

Of this proceeding, The New York
Herald believes that before the
Administration extends clemency to
any political offender It should free
all military offenders now in prison.
By military offenders we do not
mean men who while in the army
committed crimes against the per-
son such as murder, assault and
robbery. We mean the soldiers who
were convicted OF desertion, alb
sence without leave, intoxication,
sleeping on post, disobedience and
the like.
Much to its credit, this country
executed none OF it's soldiers during
the war except for murder or mis-
treatment OF women. But more than
800 men were sentenced to prison,
the terms ranging from one year to
life. for purely military offenses

WHEN THERE WILL
BE WORK FOR ALL

r. E. Manin in Forbes Magazine.
Students of economies and socio-
logy attribute the unstable position
of the worlds trade to cyclical fluc
tuations of industry the inevitable
outcome of a world-war, the diff
culties in connection with exchange
rates, inflated prices, the wages
problem, and innumerable other
causes. That these causes exist,
and that they have their natural
bearing on the problem, is, of
course, unquestionable. But at the
same time there is yet another un-
dermining cause at the back of trade
difficulties and problems which are
not merely peculiar to America but
which are affecting the industrial
and commercial progress of every
country that participated in the war.
And that cause is simply this
that workers do not work as they
used to. Let us be frank about il.
1t is no use deceiving ourselves or
attempting to conceal unpleasant
truths. The average workers of to-
day. not only in this country, but all
over the world, is out for shorter
hours and bigger wages.
There is a lot of talk, among ex-
tremists, OF having been work
slaves in the past. BY which they
mean that the average workers life
was mainly matter of work. Well,
supposing it was? Were we not
happier and more prosperous in
those days? Never in history has
there been so much suffering and
want in the world as there is to-
day, and it is significant that never
in history has there been so much
agitation and Industrial unrest. The
profound tragedy of it all is that
never in history was there so vital
a need for every ounce of energy
every ounce of productive power
every ounce of cooperation, in re-
building the broken world. as there
is to-day.
In work only lies the salvation OF
the workers of the world; when al
workers work there will be work
for all.
Evening journal., 1921-12-20

It has been said by Senators and
other commentators that Article II
OF the four-power Pacific treaty is
a replica of Article X Of the cove
nant OF the League Of Nations. Ar
ticle II reads:
"If the said rights (thosc men
toned in Article ID arc threatened
bv the aggressive action of any other
power the high contracting parties
shall conimunicae with one another
fully and frankly in order to arrive
at an understanding as TO the most
efficient measures TO be taken, jointly
and separately, to meet the exigen-
cies Of the particular situation.
Article X reads;
"The members of the league under
take to respect and reserve as
against external aggression the ter
ritorial integrity and existing politi-
cal independence Of all members OF
the league. In case Of any such ag-
gression or in case of any threat or
danger OF such aggression the Coun-
ell shall advise upon the means by
which this obligation shall be full
hlled."
The resemblance between thes,
two articles is slight. The four.
power treaty pledes self-denying re

who initiated It, and OF the able and
far-seeing American delegates who
were appointed and have been given
the widest opportunity to partici-
pate in it. II was truly predicted
that the conference would center on
Pacific problems and their solution.
IL there is any outside OF war, 1t Is
to be found in the proposed four
power treaty, the basis of which Is
understanding. while the basis Of
the league covenant was force.
Certainly it can be said that re-
fiexes of the 'get-together' attitude
of the delegates to the Washington
Conference are already displaying
themselves in other portions of the
globe. The Anglo-Hibernian treaty.
which gives promise of eliminating
in the Irish Free State. is a case in
point. If the English and the Irish
are able to harmonic their difncul-
ties, there will no longer be good
ground for the bitter feeling exhib-
tied toward England by Americans
of Irish descent. The overtures be-
ing made by Chile to Peru to end
by peaceful means the thirty-eight-
year-old stalemate, known as the
Tacna-Arica dispute, is another ex-
ample. The text of Chile's recent
note proposes that the long-delayed
plebiscite in tkat territory be expe-
dited, so as to do away with the ne
cessity for maintenance Of exces-
sive military establishments.
Turning to economic questions,
IL will be found that almost every
where there is a change for the bet
ter, marked In some countries, slow
er in others. but generally percep-
tible. The Washington Conference
is creating worldwide return OF
confidence. The nations of the earth
are encouraged by the belief that

ment and men. are. in goodly por-
ton, at least, to be turned to pro-
ductive account for the benefit of
humanity. This is a glorious sea-
son. Not since the birth of Him

that result to be attained, there should be reasonable
degree OF honesty and fairness
Just now there is widespread discussion Of railroad
wages working conditions freight rates the desire
for reduced freight rates forming the occasion FOR the
discussion OF wages.
contribution to this discussion recently has been
made by former Governor OF Texas who picks out one
particular freight charge multipes that charge by the
number Of me train, estimates that freight train
will thirty miles per hour, and draws the concu
that the railroad is making per hour the product OF
his computation ess the wages OF the rainmen and
repairman.
The figures manestly unfair for several reasons
In the first place. all the In train are not loaded
there is always percentage OF emptics
In the second place, freight train cannot average
thirty miles per hour-that would be about a maximum
speed when actually running and make no allow
ance for long stops, switching and the slow time while
getting under way and slowing down Neither would it
make allowance for idle tracks or engines in
ne shops for repairs
Then, again. the iranmen are small proportion Of the
employees OF railroads. There are shopmen engaged in
repairs and maintenance OF way men who replace ties
and rails and keep the ballast in condition There are
s~lichmen station agents. clerks in executive Offices

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1s.-Christ-
mas cheer is dispensed by the Re-
publican Publicity Association,
through its president. Hon. Jona-
than Bourne, Jr., in the following
article:

renown'd than war. quoth Milton

Laughiin. in his History Of the
American Nation, speaking Of the
period Immediately following the
War of 1912. says: When the war
was over. America turned her atten-
tion to the tasks OF progress and OF
peace
American historians OF the pres
ent day find many parallels in the
periods 1914-1920 and 1S05-1816.
Wilson, like Jefferson, preached
democracy and practised autocracy.
Wilson, like Jefferson, was con-
fronted with a situation where AN
American ship might refuse to be
searched and in consequence be
blown out Of the water Efforts
were made in 1906 to bring England
to terms by some means short OF
war, and Monroe and Pinkney ne
gotiated a treaty in London which
Jefferson refused to accept as sat
isfactory. He ought either to have
accepted Il or to have prepared Sc
riously for war. He did neither.
A similar situation confronted VIII
son with respect to Germany and
he followed Jefferson's example.
Wilson, like Madison. at length tim
idly and reluctantly yielded and
thus there fell upon his shoulders
the unwelcome. ill-fitting task OF
leading in war In 1916, James
Monroe was chosen President by an
overwhelming vote. and four years
later he was reelected with only
one electoral vote against Kim. The
eight years under Monroe's admin
istration were commonly called
the era of good feeling
THE era of good feeling from
1916 to 1924 was national. An era
OF good feeling from 1921 to 1929,
under Harding, bids fair to become
international. The conference at

MIR. HARDING AND
THE CONGRESS


THE CONGRESS
From the Omaha Bee.
In advising the congress as to the
state of the union, a duty laid upon
him by the Constitution, the presi-
dent outlines no startling program.
AS in all his former addresses, he
carefully states conclusions arrived
at by deliberate processes OF reason.
or makes suggestions that are sup
ported by experience, all looking to
the further consolidation of a coun-
try at peace but not yet entirely
tranquilized. He believes, and has
with him a considerable volume of
public opinion, that one step to the
final restoration Of normal condi-
tions throughout the world will come
through the refunding the war debt
owed us by European governments
Attention to this is urged upon
congress. with a recommendation for
early action. Home marketing and
the state of agriculture gets serious
consideration by the president. whose
interest in the farmer is genuine
Further revision of the revenue is
urged, to the end tlat greater relief
may be given the taxpayers, without
Gripping the government, and the
speedy enactment OF the tariff bill.
His suggestion for an amendment to
the fundamental law, designed to
prohibit the issuance of tax-free
securities, will probably evoke as
much discussion as any proposal
