Yokemates.

This is taken from a report Of one
Of Mondays demonstrations in New
York:
Vice President Calvin Coolidge
shared with President Harding the
distinction of being a guest of honor
a the anniversary dinner of the New
York Commercial. Mr.. Coolidge stood
in the receiving line with the Presi-
dent at the reception that preceded
the dinner"
Evidently the public is accepting Mr.
Harding's view of things. 1t considers
Mr.. Coolidge a member of the admin.
istration, and makes arrangements ac-
cordingly. As Mr.. Harding invited
him to sit at the cabinet table, the pub
lie invites him to stand with his chief
and share honors with him. There is
something very pleasant and promis-
ing in that conception Of matters.
Some Of the cleverest of our pol
iticians-as many democrats as re-
publicans-believe that had Mr.. Mar
shall enjoyed such recognition at the
hands of Mr.. Wilson during the past
eight years, both Mr.. Wilson and the
country would have benefited. The In
dianian had had more experience in
politics than his chief, or any member
Of his chiefs cabinet. He had been
governor of his state, and had
aehikSed other distinction. Moreover,
he possessed what is called "the hu-
man touch" His cordiality and every
day temperament would have popular
lied the administration had he been a
member of it and consulted about its
business. But Mr.. Wilson's was the
old way; and Mr.. Marshall, with many
qualifications for q place as adviser,
was permitted to be no more during
the two terms than the presiding of.
f1cer of the Senate.
The new way-Mr. Harding's way
is likely to catch on; and especially
as the first man selected for its test
is SO thoroughly qualified to stand the
test. Mr.. Coolidge will make good.

General Tariff Revision.

The approaching debate on the tariff
revision. measure which the ways and
means committee has prepared gives
rise to two questions: Will it be long?
and will it be acrimonious?
1t will, of course, be longer than
the debate on the emergency tariff
measure. The emergency measure
covered comparatively few things.
The short horse was soon curried.
The general tariff measure will COW
er many things. and. therefore. afford
texts for much discussion. Then there
will be some general talk about the
effect of the war on world trade, and
specifically about how the war has
affected American trade. That horse
Is sixteen hands high, and will not be
so soon curried.
But the debate, whether long or
short. need not be acrimonious. The
tariff. Of course, is a key issue, and
in times past has stirred Congress
profoundly. The Wilson German re-
vision played hobs with the democrats
in 1894. and the Payne revision played
hobs with the republicans in 1909. A
republican succeeded a democrat in the
White House in 1897, and a democrat
a republican in 1912. Both Of those
revisions produced a good deal Of bad
feeling, not only between the two
parties, but within them.
The present situation, however. is
different from either Of those situa-
tons. in that our war experience has
sobered both parties up a bit, and
brought them face to face with anxiety
over. matters in general. which have
never before been so complicated. AS
the times are not encourag ging for
playing acrimonious politics, we shall
see the public welfare in that particu-
lar respected.

generations of Americans are threat
ened with the complete devastation Of
the national timberlands. To meet
that emergency a national forestry
policy. in concrete form. must be
adopted by the government and that
policy must be translated into accom-
plishment through the passage Of a
national law consistent Herewith.
Such a law is before Congress in the
form Of the socalled Shell BILL Tn

that measure into effect.
There Is no more practical way Of bet.

past blindness has led the nation as re-
CARDS its essential timber resources
than the passa ge OF federal law deal
ing with the problem. which is too COM
plex to permit of individual or even
state solution. Under the most efiicient
forestry it takes from fifty to one hun
dred years to mature a timber crop. The
evil Of additional delay in the matter
becomes self-evident. And while it Is
undoubtedly advantageous to continue
to stimulate that popular approval Of

What Difference Does It Make {!

Maybe deep and subtle importance
attaches to the question whether the
peace resolution should be passed by
the House in the form given to it by
the Senate or in the other form which
Chairman Porter of the foreign rela-
Itions committee of the House prefers.
The Senate resolution. written by
Senator Knox, seeks to end the war
by repeating the resolution declar-
ing that a state of war exists. The
Porter resolution declares the war at
an end and says nothing about the
resolution which started the war
something profoundly significant in
the difference. but nobody has yet ex-
planned what the practical effect Of
the difference will be.
In the Senate when the Knox reso-
luton was up. those who opposed it
argued at great length against it.
They said there was no meaning in
the repeal. They said it was like re
pealing law providing for the con-
struction Of building after the

the Knox resolution would not end.

the United States can do anything to
