From everybody, especially the
best minds" which make up
queer and rare collection, Senator
Harding is hearing what he ought
to do about his Cabinet and every
thing else. What Mr.. Harding
should do, II he will accept one
more suggestion, is to use his own
judgment absolutely and be ad-
vised and influenced as little as
possible. He will be held RESPONSE
bic for results, not those that are
advising him. He knows what he
wants to do; therefore, he knows
which men can be most useful TO
him and to his plans.
If he wants Mr.. Fall for Secre-
tary of State, Mr.. Harding should
make him Secretary of State. The
people elected Mr.. HARDING to
be President and choose the Cabi-
net, and he should choose it re-
gardless Of the old guard, the new
guard, or any guard.
DR.. Dercum and DR.. Grayson
agree that the health of the Presi-
dent is most satisfactory, infinite
ly better than at any time since
his illness began. This is graft
flying news for the whole country.
Even those supposed to feel least
affection for Mr.. Wilson, speculat-
ing gentlemen in Wall Street, and
others who pay big income taxes,
should remember that they owe to
Mr.. Wilson the Federal Reserve
banking system. The President
forced that through despite the op-
position of every big financial in
stitution in the country. They
did not want to give up their con-
troll Of money.
If the President had not estab-
lished the Federal Reserve, this
country would now be going
through a jet-black panic that
would make BLACK Friday" seem
like happy celebration, and
there would be tens Of thousands
of bankrupts all over the country.
Bear that in mind as Mr.. Wilson
approaches the end Of his term.
A certain corn-fed hog having
reached the respectable weight of
$50 pounds, his owner decided that
the time had come to cut the hog 8
throat. He called in two neigh
bors to help. Perhaps you read
about it. After a while other
neighbors heard fierce squealing,
anxious yelling, and came over.
The hog had driven the three
would-be hog-killers up a tree and
was trying, not successfully, to
climb after them.
That hog, dearly beloved, is
what the average respectable corr
poratiOn gentleman would deA
nounce as "Bolshevik hog" II the
hog had grunted gently, lifted up
his throat to the knife, saying, 81
was made for this and l realize
"" the same authority would de-
care it a respectable, law-abiding
hog, content with the place to
which Providence had assigned
him.
The neighbors killed the hog
! With a rifle and ended that Boil
sis9ylx incident. In Russia, the
lsbevik bear has also treed
sssg that had planned to cut his
flssaat, and up to the present no.
body has come along able to kill
him off.
In fs :, in England the great
crowd of unemployed howl down
their own labor leader, Clynes,
M. P, yelling I'VE want revolu-
ton. We want soviets."
If you don't want widespread
imita ion of that 550-pound Boil
shevik hog, don't allow too many
.Gcl. 70 be out of work for too long
time.
Hiram johnson, born optimist,
still insists on taking progressiv-
;sm and rauisalism seriously. He
demands a Presidential primary
10 set the Presidential candi-
ua'ys, at time when it is decided
b by some of the VERY best minds
that all primaries and the labor
unions are to be decently buried
together.
" NAV interest. but won't sur
prise, Senator Johnson to know
that he alSo is classed as a Boil
. shevik in certain respectable quar-
ters. An able member Of the
present Cabinet said to this
writer last week: "The old guard
wanted Root for Secretary of
State and wanted Hoover in the
Cabinet But the Senate Bolshe-
Wiki, johnson and Borah, made
mat impossible"
Vice President Marshall wants
ore term for the President,
10 last six years instead of four,
with no reelection. From a real
Democrat like Marshall that sug-
gestion is surprising. A Presi-
dent, or any other public official
with only one term, goes into Of
flee with nothing more to hope for
FROM THE PEOPLE and every
thing to hope for FROM THE
/ CORPORATIONS. Is that good
ar cement?
