Jefersonian Inaugural

n HR HARDING ha sasked that the inaugural
MI ceremonies shall be kept to the simple es-
'A sentals. This will eliminate all except tax
ing the oath of office and the inaugural address
The people of Washington are naturally disap-
pointed While this city would be but nominally
the host OF those who would be attracted here by
the more elaborate ceremonials, it would as the
National Capital be the and provide the set
ting
Its citizens will however, loyalty concede that
under the present national and world conditions,
Mr. Harding is right 1t is not so much a matter
OF the expenditures of psychology.
The expenditures would have been 90 widely
spread as to have caused no burden, while it would
nave been but a swapping of money from one hand
10 another The amount to be contributed by the
national treasury was comparatively small and will
probably be largely used in any event.
4his city had already pledged nearly twice the
Federal appropriations, while various States planned
representation at their expense, as did civic
bodies, They may still attend, though Mr. Hard
ngs wish probably will prevent these as well as
other expenditures.
Any attempt at an independent display contrary
to his wish would not receive approval either To-
cally on in the country at large The decision.
therefore, will be accepted in spirit as well as fact
and, though thousands will come simply to see the
mere induction to office, there will be no splendor
nor glamor beyond what is practically essential.
1t will, however, be entirely proper for the city
to entertain these visitors in any way that may be
thought best in keeping with Mr. Harding's wish.
The city can, if it will, put on its gala dress and
in a modest and dignihed way mark the occasion
Mr.. Harding is known to have yielded rather
unwlingly to the more elaborate arrangements.
As member Of this Senate he also doubtless gave
more than ordinary heed to the undercurrent as
well outspoken, opposition to any appearance of
extravaganza
But more than this, he recognized that in this
period of domestic liquidation, of halting industry
and unemployment, with starvation in many Euro
pean and Near East countries with the belt drawn
tight in all foreign lands, it would not be proper
for him to assume Office platform of economy
in the midst of seemingly unnecessary expend-
ture.
He has chosen the better way His judgment
is practically final 1t will receive public approval
everywhere, and no less here in Washington than
throughout the States.

The chief occupation of the Russian Soviet
government is finding some one to war against.
Making Discords.

There has been much rather disturbed specu-
lation as to why there is such lack of harmony
in the big, new, shney Republican party, which the
November election presented the country. y
+ 1t promised to be the most melodous political
organ produced in the country. 1t had been built
by experts. 1t had been tuned with uncommon
nicely. For months during the campaign there
had not been serious discord. -
The organist chosen by the party is known
for his skill in changing dscordant elements into
sweetly blending chords. His one hope, purpose
and effort has been to have the wonderful Novem-
Der combination of fugues roll in magnificent
accord
But 1t did not work that way. For some
cause discoJds came in more or less expected, and
in unexpected measures. They set everyone's
nerves on edge. AT last the organist seems
to be affected and inclined to do things to the
organ even if he has to make it over
But news story from Raleigh, N. c., discloses
exactly what is the matter. A brand-new- organ
in Baptist church there acted in the same mys-
terious way. An exanlnation disclosed the cause.
There were possums in the pipes.

League a Going Concern.

Not all nterpational affairs have become public
Not all agreements between nations are known in
their entirety Not all negotiations looking to such
contracts are published while in process.
But sixtyinfne treaties have already been for.
mally filed with the secretariat of the league of
nations. That many have become public property.
They probably include all made since the league
was formed.
Article Eighteen OF the covenant does not cover
treaties made prior to the organization of the
league. But no member is apt to fail to file those
made subsequent, as this article provides that mo
such treaty international engagement shall be
binding until registered"
If the league had accomplished no more than
to rob secret treaties of their value it would be
worth while. So close and varied are the rea-
tons of nations, that it is longer sufficient to
have agreements between them regarded as bind
ing only by the signers
No two governments can make a treaty which
affects them alone, and to have it regarded by any
other, it must be registered and published
1t is NOT probable that single treaty has been
made in the past twelve months that is now held
secret H..
But this is not all the league has done. 1t
may be in its grave and beyond resurrection
far the United States is concerned but it seems
very much alive to forty-six other nations. 1t
is but yearpo1d. 1t has been passing through
period of trial Yet it has been actively concerned
in number of arbitratons of international differ
ences. 1t has concerned itself with mandates and
the powers and responsibilities of mandatories. 1t
is investigating disarmament. 1t has rcPatriated
over 100000 prisoners. 1t is planning
certed action to fight disease and moral degeneracy.
But greatest of all it has brought forty-six
nations together for the first time in the worlds
history, to get the personal contact of discussion
and exchange of views on world affairs which
Germ them all The representatives Of ali these
nations have met in the room to formulate
ways of settling differences and of gaining mutual
understanding.
This of itself is enormous advance the
old system of secrecy, of the few assuming control
of the many and of the division into hostile camps
armed against each other and recognizing abtra-
ment but that of war.
The league of nations is actuay. 1t is a
going 1t is not bankrupt, facing bank
ruptcy. 1t is worthy the moral support of this
government. 1t is worthy the brains, the states
manship, the joint guidance and joint interest of
the United States.

The French Election.

The French may be a volatile people, but they
certainly know when to push in the cork They
constantly being misjudged and as often show
surprising stesdiness, and mental and moral sure
ness.
Last week those on the ground watching events
there foreod with much positiveness that the Sun
day elections to choose a third of the membership
of the Senate would show decided gains by the
left, extreme group of radical Socialists
The result was just the contrary. That group
lost twenty-one out of ffty-four members. At the
same time the opposite group of extreme conserva-
tives also lost several members from their small
number The gains were to government support
for policy not extreme either way, for frmness,
but not for what would be unreasonable
The Senate is not important body in ma
tional affairs. 1t is like the British House of
Lords than the United States Senate. 1t is over
shadowed by the assembly.
But the result of the election is no less sgnih-
can't 1t shows that regardless of surface noises,
the undercurrent is safe and sound and dependable;
that the great body of the French people have a
anchorage.
1t is practically vote OF confidence in the Mil
lerand-Leygues government, which many consid-
cred overthrow in favor of still strin-
gent foreign policy. Even members of the Leygues
Cabinet were Senate candidates. OF these six seem
to have been successful.
Deschane who resigned as president because
of injuries in peculiar railroad accident, also
reelected. Here again the prophets mistaken,
foretelling his defeat because his health did not
permit him to make campaign
As whole, the result indicates that it is safer
to take for granted thai in peace in war the
French may be depended upon to stand steady.
Their domestic agitators, real enemies of France
within her people, can go far and no fur
ther. There is line beyond which "They shall
not pass"

Keeping a Pledge.

Sometimes the British promise too much In
the stress of occasion they may let their lines
cross. 1t is not surprising that this happened dur
ing the war, maybe more than once
But whatever the government may do at such
times, the Britons themselves have a controlling
spirit of fair play. They have sturdy regard for
pledges made and have more excuse for a
"double,cross" where they gain, than where it is
to the advantage of others
The fact of the alliance of the Arabs with the
British against the Turks one of the wars
somewhat anomalous situations the Arabs and
Turks both being Mohsmmedan. Thk basis of this
rather unnatural union became public at the close
of hostlities.
To stop the advance of the Turks and the Ger
mans toward Egypt, the British approached the
Arab ruler and price for his support his rule
was to be recognized over wide territory and as
king of the Hedaz. 1t was also agreed that his
SON, Emir Feissl, should have Syria as his kingdom
1t was this latter pledge Great Britain was un-
able to fulfill, as she also promised to recognize
the French prepondersnee of interest in Syria and
France claimed and was given a mandate there.
which she refused to surrender
When Prince Feisal undertook to take poss.s
sion, he met French army, was defeated and be-
came exile. He, however, refused to Weld his
claims, went to London and demanded recognition
The English received him most cordially. his es
sential support at the head of the Arab army was
not forgotten. -.~.H.
1t was>remembered with full appreciation that
il was his cooperation which in large measure
brought the defeat of the Turks, the recovery of
Palestine and his own victorious entry into Da-
rnsscus They wanted to pay their debt.
AS it is impossible to dispossess the French
in Syria, it is reported with seeming verify that
the British will make Feissl ruler in Mesopotamia,
where they have a mandate. The Arabs of that
region, it is believed will welcome this
1t will reunite them with the Arabs to the west
1t will be step toward the ambition of reunion
of all the Arabian people. II would favor their
national pride and desired solidarity
This might make it more uncomfortable for
the French in Syria but they could with advantage
fonosv the example of recognizing a native ruler,

Expect Wit
Of Watson
Senator From Georgia Is
Looked to to LiUen
Many Meetings.
BY LABERT ST. CLAIR.

The boys up around the Capitol
are looking forward TO the coming
of Tom Watson, of Georgia, to the
Senate with a good deal Of inter-
est They think that Tom will cut
some didoes that will be interest
ing. And so many Senators long
since have become so uninteresting
that new faces are welcomed.
One of the several clever things
that Tom got of during the cam
paign now is being passed around
Washington. 1t was a sort of an
instruction paragraph on how to
vote in the Georgia Senatorial pri-
mary, if in doubt. To anyone who
knows Senator Hoke Smiths pen
chant for never taking a stand on
anything, it appeals especially.
Here it is:
IF you are for Woodrow Wilson,
vote for Hugh Dorsey; if you are
against Wilson, vote for me; if you
don't know how you stand. vote for
Hoke Smith"
1t does beat all what folks will
bring up against men when he is
running for office. Its the way he
has his hair cut, or the way he
voted on the tariff, as a general
thing, but in the last campaign two
members of the House were placed
in the pillory on account of domino
playing and for marrying a home
gal.
The man who was called to order
for his domino playing was Repre-
sentative Walsh, of Massachusetts,
the watchdog of the Treasury and
the boon companion Of Uncle JoeN
Cannon, at the domino table.
When Walsh's opponent an
nounced himself for office he laid
out Walsh cold for his proClivities
for domino playing.
Insofar as l can find out" he
said, Mr.. Walsh has done nothing
in Washington in the last six years
but draw s45,OOO. and play dom
inoes with Joe Cannon. II I am sent
down there, I'll do more than that"
But he was not sent, SO Walsh
serenely plays dominoes juts as he
+ always did.
The member who got into hot
water for not marrying a girl from
his home district is from down
South, but he shall be unnamed
But he married a mighty fine wom-
an up North because he cared for
her. That made no difference to his
opponent. Taking the stump, day
after day, he said:
did this man, when he came 70
marry, come back home and pick
out 2re of our fair daughters-our
daughters whose very cheeks bios
som as the rose, whose lips are red
and sweet as wine, whose hair is
moonlight and whose teeth are
pearls? He did not. He married q
woman up North and gave you girls
the go-by."
The tough part of it is that this
fellow made his case and was
elected.
