HAYS.

Postmaster General Hays is MAX
ing progress in humanizing the
Postoffice. He has been getting in
close touch with the employees of
the Department, and he is working
out an arrangement of mutual in
terest with the Senate and House
Postoffice Committees; besides which
he has named an unofficial board
of advisors or counselors for map
ping out the policy of the postal sys-
tenn. The method is exactly the
reverse of that of the late Mr.. Rnrle-
son, who spent his time during the
past eight years in trying to put
square pegs in round holes and in
attempting other unreasonable and
impossible tasks. Mr.. Hays hasn't
had much to say about politics, and
as matter of fact he seems to be
concerned about being relieved as
the Republican chairman. Neverthe-
less, Washington opinion credits
General Hays with having strong
convictions that Republican victors
should replace the Democratic van
quishers, particularly in the post
offices of Importance. The Demo-
Gratis presumably blanketed all of
their men into office. Mr.. Hays is
credited with an ambition to pull
the blankets off.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
By J. E. Jones
yIyIANI


It is interesting to note the sup
pressed air of excitement lowering
about the National Capital, occas-
stoned by the visit of Rene Viviani,
former premier of France. During
the war there was a Balfour, or a
Nothcliffe, or a Foch, being let in
at the White House nearly every
week. They all got lots of hurrahs
from the public and bales of money
from the Treasury, and then they
went on their way, ito prevent
crowding." Americans know little
about Viviani, but he has been pulled
out of the past to be injected into
the future of the international page
ant. The Capital has resounded
with its vive Vivian in a way that
would almost lead one to believe
that prodigal lost son was showing
up.
Viviani announced: 81 come to the
United States to pay the respects
OF France to President Harding"
To be more precise the visit is
important it is for the undoubted
purpose of attempting to evolve a
definite policy for the United States
with reference to Europe. France
has picked an able son for the task
of lining up the United States.
When Germany broke over the bord-
ers of France in 1914 the attack was
upon an unprepared people. France
has had a lot of fights in it's time;
but evidently the country proposes
that this time it will discount the
future. The country has entered
into hard and fast alliance with
Poland, and it seeks similar bonds
with England and the United States.
France is apparently keen for a
league of nations, but while waiting
it is engaged in massing the big
battalions. No one can blame them
for taking all necessary steps to
protect their future existence. vi
viSni is versed in French diplomacy,
and his mission to the United States
is for the purpose Of securing the
closest possible cooperation with
our Government in order that his
nation may occupy commanding
position in World affairs.
Viviani does not come here to-
secure cancellation of the French
debt. He is after bigger game than
that How far he can succeed will
be apparent later in the reaction of
the Administration and the contrary
gentlemen who compose the United
States Senate.

TAFT.
For more than eight years the
well-wishers of former President
Taft have been wishing on him the
position of Chief Justice of the
United States Supreme Court. But
President Woodrow Wilson couldn't
see it that way. The agitation has
been renewed, and it has broken in
all its fury about the head Of Fresi-
dent Harding. The knowing ones

LAFOLLETTE.


LAFOLLETTE.
1t is doubtful if history has ever
recorded a more ''sworn at" Senator
than La Toilette. In 1912 he stooc
before the country as one of the
leading presidential possibilities
and had it not been for an attack
of mental aphasias at big meeting
in his honor in Philadelphia, he
might have landed the Republican
nomination. Now he is sixty-six
years old, and though of fine physi.
que and mentally, the close of the
Harding Administration will find him
at an age beyond which men nova.
days are apt to aspire to the Presi-
dency. A lot of fault is being
found of the appointment of John j
Esch as a member of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The general
belief is that the differences between
Senator La Toilette and Mr.. Esch
until recently a Congressman from
Wisconsin, are personal and politi-
cal. At one time they were init
mate friends. But Senator La
Toilette uses the Esch appointment
as basis for making new attack
upon the railroad management of
the country, which he says rests
in the hands of about TWENTY-FIVE
men. Of course that is popular
kind of stuff and makes hit with
those who cry "down with the cor
porations." Just now Mr.. La Fol-
lette is being quoted throughout
the country. 1t all goes to show
how tickle and forgetful is the
public mind; for it is unnecessary to
recall the unpopularity of the Wis
consin Senator less than two years
ago. The ups-and-downs of Sena-
tor La Follette's career are largely
recorded in the pages of tragedies
but dot of people who resolutely
refuse to agree with him at any
time, insist that che must be smart"

EASTER EGGS AND WAR.
Everyone has felt that the
screws" were down pretty tight
during the war. In Washington
the restrictions were unusually ex-
acting. There were special guards
everywhere and admission by pass
only" was the rule rather than the
exception. The throwing open Of
the White House gates immediate
ly followed the Inauguration of
President Harding had a fine effect
upon the spirit of the Capital, and
the Easter egg-rolling on the White
Lot was welcomed with an enthus-
iasm this year that has never been
exhibited in any year in all history.
1t is said that $4,000 children, white
and black, took their Easter eggs
to the White House grounds; and
when they were through the place
looked like huge omelet.
With the repeal of all wartime
legislation on March 3, and the
dropping Of most of the wartime
customs, there is a noticeable re-
turn to what President III arding
calls normally; and this extends
not only to the affairs connected
with Government, but reaches out
into every phase of national life.

WHILE CHAMP. RESTS

Atlantic City, N. j.. June 1s.-An
training activities in Jack Dempsey's
camp were dropped today. The worlds
champion will rest completely for he
may not resume work until wednes-
day. The public will not be admitted
to the camp in the meantime, Jack
kearns, manager of the title holder,
announced. The sudden switch IN
training plans caused considerable
stir, but Manager Kearns offered no
explanation. Camp followers were OF
the opinion, however, that Dempsey
ALREADY has reached the peak of his
training and could get himself on edge
within ten days II necessary for the
defense of bis title. 1t also was gem
orally accepted that the tenderness of
the wound over his left eye is causing
considerable alarm and no chances will
be taken to risk the danger OF re-
opening the cut.
Dempsey. who laid off Saturday,
worked for thirty-fiv minutes yester-
day. only because he did not want to
disappoint the Sunday crowd which
turned out. The champion went thru
the usual haE punching, shadow box
ing and other exercises. He worked
with great speed.
Lew Tender. the Philadelphia light
weight, saw Dempsey working for the
first time yesterday and predicted an
early victory for him in the coming
bout.
