President Is Building Up Popularity

his position for almost fonr years and
yet every day he yields to some fresh
demand for personal favor and adds
to the sum Of enjoyment by shaking
hands with hundreds and comforting
with scores of individuals.
The White House is open-it is the
peoples house. That is fine, but of
greater significance is it that the Pres
ident is accessible to boys who want
a swimming pool as well as to sena-
tors and diplomatists. The secretaries
are kept busy scribbling memoranda
of a representative who wants to pre-
sent the son of constituent; of an
other who seeks the Presidents infiu-
ence in saving a local industry; OF
women who are seeking class legisla-
ton; of a man who wants to tell him
about San Domingo; another about
Alaska; of a delegation of Indians,
another of Quakers, one of the African
Methodist Episcopal church. The
President decides that he can give
one man five minutes; another must
get on with two or three; he can't
get rid of delegation or committee
under 10 or 10 minutes.

Plight of the Water Power Commission

BECAUSE of the failure of congress
ID to provide adequate means for
it's expeditions administration,
the federal water power commission
at the end Of it's first year of exist
ence finds itself almost unable to ham
die properly the requirements Of wa
ter-pOwer development in the United
States.
In creating the commission, the con-
gress gave the commission no per.
sonnet to perform its work other than
its executive secretary and engineer
officer.
The commission has no field force,
loaned or otherwise. Even the limited
appropriations made by congress for
the work of the commission are being
returned to the treasury unused be-
cause congress, after making these ap-
preparations failed to grant the legis-
lative authority to use them.
Up to June 80, 1921, there had been
filed with the commission 900 applica-
tons aggregating 14,675,000 horsepow-
er and affecting 33 states, the Dis
trict Of Columbia and Alaska. This
amount is rs per cent greater than
the entire water-power development of
the United States today. The projects
applied for vary in size from less than

cleaning engines and headlights in
rOundhOuses, keeping watch night as
well as day at dangerous grade cross
ings, operating telegraph keys, carry
ing messages of train dispatchers, and
even doing carpentry and other heavy
work in the railroad shops.
In some jobs women, the railroads
are learning, are more efficient than
male workers. Some jobs in which
numbers of women are at work are:
Attendants, more than 1000; clean
ing, 1000; shop workers, more than
1000; station agents and assistants,
1900; telegraph and telephone signal
service, nearly 1000; car department,

More than 400 women are DIT work
in each of these classes of jobs: Mes
senger service, roundhouse general
work, watchwoman at warehouses and
docks.
Nearly 300 women are listed as COM
mon laborers, while 800 were taken
on for roundhouse clerical work.
More than 100 are at work wiping en-

and roundhouses, while few are en-

LOOT MILLIONS
Wealthy Business Men Over En-
tire Country Believed Victims
of Worthington Band.
CONFESSION IS MADE
Private Secretary of One of Ring
leaders Tells Federal Agents of
ManlpuIations of Forged and
Stolen Securities.

Chicago-Untold millions of dollars
worth Of worthless notes, stolen bonds,
fraudulent deeds of trust and forged
certificates of deposit have been flung
on the markets of the country, Fed
eral agents declared after investigat-
ing the operations of band alleged
to have been headed by Charles w.
French and John W. Worthington
Banks, bond houses, investment Sc
curity brokers and wealthy business
men from coast to coast were declared
to have been the victims or dupes of
one of the most gigantic swindles ever
unearthed by Department of Justice
agents.
Embezzements Reach Millions.
Six million dollars worth of stolen
bonds, nearly 100000 in worthless
notes and hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of trust deeds and forg-
ed certificates of deposit have already
been traced by Department of Justice
agents, it was declared.
The revelations resulted from de-
tailed confession accredited to Alva
w. Harshman who was declared to
have been a private secretary to
French and who surrendered to Fed
eral officials. Harshman was alleged
to have told of a deal negotiated by
French for the purchase of bank in
the Middle West that involved the ex-
change Of $806,000 in cash.
A Washington, d. c., man, according
to Harshman, was to obtain certified
checks for 100000. These checks, he
said, were to be presented to the bank
owners and when the band gained con-
troll of the establishment, they were
to cash all the certificates of deposit
the bank owned. The money, he said.
would then be forwarded to the Wash
ington man who would deposit it be-
fore the certified checks on the origin
al transaction were cleared and re-
turned. Many other deals of like
type were also described.
Deposit Slip cashed.
In another case, it was asserted,
large amount of stolen securities were
placed with small country bank in
return for certificate of deposit. The
deposit slip, it was said, was cashed,
and the bank left holding the securi-
ties which would be identified and re-
claimed as soon as it tried to realize
on them.
In addition about 100000 in notes,
supposed to have been signed by the
American Rubber company, have not
yet been found
1t was also revealed that the band
was operating in Kansas City, accord
ing to John V. Clinnin, acting district
attorney. All of the notes issued by
the band were disposed of by the
Securities company of Kansas City.
That organization, he said, would sell
the notes and issue trust agreements
as a guarantee of the investment
According to the alleged confession
made by HarShman, the band made
considerable money disposing of real
estate mortgages. He named Mrs
Della B. Howard of Portland, Ore,
as one of the victims.

for him popularity that was not fore

Whether he is great statesman is
still matter of debate, and one which

there is no shadow of doubt but that he
has entrenched himself strongly in the
hearts Of the people of Washington,
especially of the children of all ages.

ton and severe restriction of liberty.
Russia's downfall was due primarily
to the fact that there was no ade-
quate middle class. no common ground
on which the downtrodden peasant
and workingman could meet with en-
ployer, business man, politician or pro-
fessional man for consideration of
their mutual interests and improve
ment of their economic and social DO
sition. There was ease and luxury
on the one side and toll and misery
on the other. There was no medium
through which these extremes might
be brought together and blended into
a tolerable. stable existence for all.
