PRESIDENT WARREN G. HARDING

Today, March fourth, will witness at Washington City the inauguration of Warren G. Harding as president of the United States and the retire. same position. The latter was slated for retirement today no matter what the result of the late election might have been, but the former succeeds to the position-the highest in the gift of the people-as the direct result of that election. And no man has ever taken the presidency with such an overwhelming and substantial back ing of the citizenry of his country. His vote was a noble tribute from a noble people
 We believe President Harding will make an ideal chief executive of the nation. He comes from good old American stock and is representative of the very best class of Americans Keen of intellect and possessing thorough knowledge of the needs of the country both domestic and in- ternational, he is particularly fitted for ably discharging the duties of the high position to which he has been called-president of the greatest republic the world has ever known True, he was not our choice, but, all circumstances and conditions consid cred we believe his election was the very best thing that could have happened. The results showed that all the Republicans and nearly half the Democrats in the United States ! desired him for president and that they voiced their desires by voting for him, and who are we that we should gainsay the wishes of the people? He is our president. We are proud of him and have every confidence that he will make good. His position is high one but he is a big man and will fill it with credit to himself and honor to his country E. J. White, in the Doughlas Island News.

the Filipinos-not few adventurous professional politico patriots" hun gry for office and loot in the islands for American sovereignty to be maintained. Upon that question no one who knows the situation there has any serious doubt
 One thing is certain-whenever the United States ceases to exercise au- thority in the Philippines it should completely separate itself from re- accessibility. Once adrift the Philip pines must shift for themselves; the people of this country are not going to cross the Pacific to guarantee or maintain the sovereignty of any gov ernment but it's own.

CLEANUP SEASON AT HAND

Spring has come-almost! Jack sing his cold frames out of the snow preparatory to starting his garden. Which reminds us that Jacks garden is tremendously effective in impress ing the summer visitor to our town, being located where everyone coming from the dock gets a splendid view of it.
 Which further reminds us that First avenue should, by all means, be made attractive. The impression of Cordova which the tourist carries away is largely formed by what greets his eyes between the dock and the postoffice. Some very fine residences have been built on that street during the past few years-the Hesse cottage, the Currier, Hubbert, Johansen, Lines and Muller homes, the Chase and Ibach bungalows, the Shepard gardens and the forestry buildings. These attractive buildings and well-kept grounds add tremen- dously to the sightliness of the street.
 But there is room for improve. ment Tourist traffic to the north threatens to exceed all previous rec ords this season. Are we to let our host of visitors return to the states with a picture of unsightly shacks and ill-kept, rubbish-filled yards, or shall we send them on with a pleas ant memory of clean streets, bor dered by attractive homes and trim well-kept grounds?
 We can not all afford showy resi- idences, but we can all afford tc have neatly kept yards A little flow CT bed or trim grass plot will take the curse off an unpainted one-room shack, but the one-room shack will loom up like proverbial hen house in a fog if the yard is filtered with empty cans and overgrowu, with weeds.

Son, be sure of this: The money you save will never make you sorry.
 A mans friends are seldom as loyal to him as he thinks they should be.
 None should loaf, but it is every ones privilege to get out of little work.
 A beautiful thought: A "bood spender" is anybody that spends it on us.
 People will stand up for you, but after a while give them chance to sit down.
 A very pretty girl is reasonably sure to believe that all men are al- ways gallant.
 Making noise is sometimes the last refuge of those who don't mind imposing on others.
 Women shouldn't expect to get tall husbands as long as they keep their sweethearts short buying flowers and candy.
 Anyone who can enjoy burlesque show will ne'er become a hero wor- shiper. He sees the saving gleam of humor.
 A baby limits it's conversation to words of one syllable, and so long as it does that, baby never gets into serious trouble.
 When a woman tells another wo- man how young the latter looks, the former always smiles in so peculiar a way that the one being compliment ed knows she isn't being compliment ed at all, but lied to,
 It has been discovered that U. s. senators are sending typewriters, household furniture, old iron, etc., through the mails under their franks. Why couldn't they get around the anti-pass law by franking themselves through the mail.
 A man with plenty of money will put off buying clothes as long as he can because he doesn't like to bother with buying them, but a woman with out any money will go and look at clothes that she would buy if she had the money.

STATUS OF THE PHILIPPINES

The argument is sometimes made that in refusing to cut the Philip pines adrift to become the victims of domestic turmoil and external az gression, the United States govern ment is violating the principle of "self-determination," and holding the Fflipinos as "a subject people"
 That is true in the same sense that we are holding the people of the northwest territory, of the Louisiana Purchase, of the territory ceded to the United States by Mexico after the Mexican war, of Alaska, and of Florida, as Subject peoples" All of this territory was acquired by cession and part of it engaged in a war of secession successfully resist. ed.
 The Philippines are American ter. ritory in the same sense that Cali fornit is American territory It is true that there have been certain declarations of hope or purpose by governmental leaders in the United States that the Philippines shall be given as large measure of auton- omy or independence as they may be prepared for But it is the duty and responsibility of the American government, and not of any iudiy- idual here or in the Philippines to determine when that measure of pre- paredness has been attained. The theory that congress has "promised'' the Philippines complete national soy. ereignty at any given time reveals a sad lack of comprehension of the powers of that body No congress has right to promise legislation be- yond the period of it's two years ex- istence. The statement that the Unit ed States "owes" the Philippines this, that or the other thing is also en- tirely unwarranted; the balance is so big on the other side of the ledger that there is no prospect of balance being struck. The common sense question to be determined is whether it benefits or injures the masses of

MYSTERY SURROUNDS
 ANCHORAGE SHOOTING

The mystery surrounding the shoot. ing of J. J. Sturgis, City Marshal at Anchorage, remains baffling case, according to advices received in Ju- neau last night on the steamer Sturgis was recently shot at Anchorage and died one hour later without recovering con sciousness
 In advices received in Juneau. United States Marshal F. R. Brenne- man, of the Third Division, stated that MT. Sturgis was no. involved in any way in the recent raid and roundup of moonshiners at Anchor age. In one day recently at h.i. chorage, four parties were caught operating stills and all drew heavy sentences. As Sturgis was former U. s. Deputy Marshal it is believed that the shooting was the result of these raids. Tho dead man was a prominent Elk and recently, the various bodies of Efks to the West ward, held individual memorial ser vices.

ANCERED BY ROBBERY
Purse and VaIise Rifled; May
Abandon Reds.

Special Gable to THE NEW YORK HERALD

Paris, July 20.
The sensational train robbery Sunday
near Chagny. in which Lieut.. Carabelli
was fatally wounded adm two other pas
sengers were stabbed with knives. is now
believed to have been the work of Com
munist extremists. AS result the
Communist Deputy Morucci whose valise
was rified and purse emptied. is losing
faith in red principles and is expected
by friends to rejoin one of the milder
Socialist groups before the next cleo
tions.
When Morucci protested against the
holdup one OF the bandits thrust a re-
volver under his nose and cursed the
Deputy as member of the filthy
bourgeoisie" and refused to listen to
Morucci's explanations that he had
fought the bourgeoise from the ranks
of the extremists for more than two
years.
Applications have been made to re-
ward Lieut. Garabelli posthumously with
the Legion of Honor for his bravery in
attacking the robbers unarmed. His
travelling companion. Capt. Morel. prob
ably will be called before a military
court to explain why he did not go to
the assistance of his comrade.

Damaging testimony was given yester-
day against Nicholas Laresch, on trial
before Judge Grain in General Sessions

nesses swore that most of the shots fred

kers, said he was walking down Broad

TARIFF VALUATION
SCHEME is OPPOSED
New York Customs Chief Says
Plan Would Bring Untold
Trouble.

WAsHINGToN. July 26.-Overhauiing
be necessary in order to permit its ef-
fective administration. the Senate
Finance Committee was told to-day by
George c. Davis. chief of the compara-
tive values bureau in the New York
Customs House. Mr.. Davis declared
further that IL Congress adopted the
American valuation plan of levying i'm
port duties oven more radical changes
In the rates would have to follow.
The American valuation plan as a
substitute for the present system of
assessing duties on foreign values was
attacked by the customs official. VINO
saw in It the cause for "unending liti-
cation and a general tying up Of the
importing business" He added that, as
drawn, some of the rates in the bill, ad-
ministered on an American valuation
basis. meant positive prohibition Of
importations. He did not. however,
enumerate the commodities Of which ne
spoke.
Mr.. Davis said none knew what the
effect OF the change would be and pre-
dicted It would take years to learn.
whereas the customs service, with
nearly fifty years of experience und ar
the present plan. had back OF 1t court
rulings. accepted business practices and
a generally stable foundation upon
which to work.
All this would be lost In the change,
he declared. and another era of ltiga-
ton gone through before correct inter-
pretation could be had of the bills pro-
visions.

SHIPPING BOARD URGES
DISCRIMINATING DUTY
Special Despatch to THE New York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, d. c.. July 26.

New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. c.. July 26.
What promised to be the first step in
an international shipping controversy
was taken to-day when the Shipping
Board unanimously adopted resolution
asking Congress to reenact the provision
contained In the Underwood tariff bill
providing for 10 per cent. discriminat-
ing duty on goods imported in other than
American bottoms. In announcing the
adoption of the resolution Chairman
Lasker characterized 1t as the biggest
piece of work the board had yet done.
THE fact that this resolution was
adopted by a unanimous vote ought to
satisfy our critics as to whether the
board is all American or not" the chair
man declared.
After the Underwood tariff act went
into effect a test case on the provision
for a discriminating duty was made in
New York by ]. Elliott and others before
the Board of Customs Appraisers. 1t
was then appealed to the customs court
of appeals which was then functioning
and eventually found it's way to the Su-
preme Court of the United States, which
decided that the provision was uncon-
stitutional. since 1t was contrary to ex~
listing treaties,
In view of this decision. Congress,
when considering the Jones merchant
marine bill. put In provision, lncor-
porated In Section "a of that bill, au-
thorizing and directing the President OF
the United States to abrogate existing
treaties affected by the Underwood act
in order that the 10 per cent. discriminat-
ing duty might be levied.
