President and District.

Though deprived by his own wish
of the privilege of providing an in
augural program in keeping with the
! customs of the past Washington vel
comes President-elect Harding today
| with warm regard. The President OF
the United States occupies a peculiar
| position toward the National Capital
community. He is. in effect, its gov
ernor, it's own particular chief execu-
| tive. He signs the acts of Congress.
which serves as its legislature. He
appoints it's officials, Commissioners
and lesser public officeSs. He exer-
cises a supervisory authority over the
District.
Having lived in Washington for six
years as a senator, Mr.. Harding Is
familiar with its situation and its
needs. BY a peculiar circumstance
he will be called apon probably. as
one of the first acts of his admins
tration. to name one or two District
Commissioners. inasmuch as the Sen
ate has not yet and possibly will not
confirm the appointments submitted
by Mr. Wilson. which in default of
confirmation expire at noon tomor
row. Whether he renames those
whom his predecessor selected or
others. he must designate some one
as District Commissioner Immediately.
since the Districts business cannot be
conducted by less than two Commits
sioners, and after noon tomorrow, url-
less the Senate acts meanwhile, there
will be but one on duty at the District
building.
Washington hopes for a cordial un.
derstanding between the local citizens
and the President. 1t hopes for ep-
portunity for free consultation with
it's executive head. 1t hopes also for
his cooperation in securing legisla-
ton making for full development OF
the National Capital municipality.
Respecting his wishes. the people
of the District have RENTED their
labors in preparation for an inaugural
ceremony commensurate with the re-
markable manifestation of public sup.
port given Mr.. Harding in November.
They accept his judgment, and tomer-
row will acclaim him their President.
even though through an injustice
which it is hoped he will recognize
and seek by his influence to correct
they have been deprived Of any voice
whatever in the selection of a chief
executive Of the nation.

west. Eastern born and western de-
velopeu, he is a figure of Importance
in both sections. II he takes office
under the administration he will. OF
course. be reckoned among its assets.
But if he should not, his republican
ism is such and mis- personal rela-
tions with Mr.. Harding SO cordial, his
influence will go with ais party
friends.
Gov. Lowden declined appointment.
But he has not lost interest in poll
tics, or broken with his party. On
the contrary. he is still in the ring.
and In the middle country has large
following.
Mr. Hert is one Of the most active,
capable and influential men in border
state politics. His name rhymes With
alert: and he is all of that in every
campaign. He helped nominate and
elect Mr.. Harding. and that he will
assist to the extent of his. power in
the work his party has in hand is
assumable from his record.
Everybody is in line; and with every
body in earnest and well disposed,
why should not the administration
score?

An ltltimatum to Germany.

The allied premiers at London have
notified the German delegation that
Gernany's counter proposals for
reparation submitted on Tuesday were
not susceptible Of examination. In
other words, they were not merely re-
jected. They were not even consid-
cred. There will be no compromise
Germany will have no chance for bar
gaining. In effect. an ultimatum has
been pronounced. II by Monday noon
Germany has not accepted the funda-
mental conditions recently laid dowf,
by the supreme allied council at Paris
the allies will take immediate steps.
The Arst Of these will be the occupa.
ton by allied troops of the cities of
Duisburg and Dusseldorf and the
Ruhr region Of Germany, containing
important mines and iron plants.
Next, each allied country will place
such tax on German merchandise
as 1t will deem proper. Finally, a Gus.
toms boundary along the Rhine will
be established under allied control.
1t is hinted in the dispatches today
that the granting Of four days before
action will be taken II Germany does
not meanwhile accept in full the al.
lied terms was not inspired by con.
sideration for Germany. but by dis
position to wait until Mr.. Harding has
delivered his inaugural address as
President OF the United States, and
possibly therein has given an indi-
cation Of his proposed foreign policy.
Unless the German delegation has
gone to London with plenary powers
1t will have to communicate with Ber-
lin. 1t is quite likely that the Simons
commission went instructed to nego.
tiate for better terms. but without ex-
pectation that a stern. infexible re.
fusal to abate the Paris conditions
would be encountered. II that was the
thought it has been bitterly disap-
pointed.

Russia on the part of insurgent work

munitions of war and. short OF a

position to hold firm against any revo'

But these uprsings. even though
they fail, are symptomatic Of the real
conditions In Russia and are indicative
of an eventual overturn of the soviet

Lenin's spy system is likely to break

Judge Landis' Case.

No action will be taken at the pres
ent session of Congress respecting the
matter of Judge Landis' acceptance
of an outside position in addition to
his judicial duties. The House com
mittee on judiciary. however. files a
report declaring that this dual duty
Is inconsistent and constitutes a seri-
Gus improperly, and recommends a
full investigation at the next session
Of the impeachment charges brought
by Representative Welty. All pro-
ceedings, of course, die with the fall
of the gavel at noon tomorrow. II,
when the extra session opens. there is
still a feeling that Judge Lands has
erred in accepting this base ball job
it will probably be manifested in
terms Of a resolution. impeachment,
however, is hardly likely to succeed.
IT may be improper. unethical and
inconsistent for d judge to take sal
ary from another quarter. but so far
as known there is not the slightest
breath of suspicion that the holding of
this outside position and the drawing
of this pay will lessen Judge Landis'
scrupulous regard for the law and the
equities which he is called upon as
judge to interpret and administer.
Congress may pass an act prohibiting
federal judges from taking any com
pensation whatever beyond that meted
out by the United States, or even from
rendering any service whatsoever save
that performed on the bench. In other
words, Congress may declare that who
ever accepts the federal commission
as judge restricts himself to the one
duty and the one pay. This matter
of Judge Landis' base ball position is
wholly apart from his recent express.
siens on the subject Of youthful bank

the act was discovered and whom the
judge refused to punish. That matter
is not involved in tho House proceed
ings. One assured effect of the whole
affair is to arouse public interest

Judges. The United States is by this
affair exposed as a poor paymaster.

On Guard!

Although the inaugural ceremonies
have been simplifed, Washington is
filling up with strangers. drawn here
by the prospect of witnessing the
transfer of the government from
democratic to republican hands. There
are some, though, who come from a
less worthy motive. Expecting a big
crowd, certain types of crooks have
always heretofore come to Washing.
ton at inauguration and are doubtless
here now. or will come in the next few
hours. A police watch is being kept
at the station, but there are other
ways for crooks to enter, and prob.
ably some of them are slipping
through. They will play all kinds Of
games. swindles, thefts and lodges to
separate people from their money
The police have given warning in
explicit terms. They admonish the
people not to trust their money to
unknown persons to be changed: not
to carry handbags or purses suspend.
ed from the wrist; not to expose val
liable, jewelry; not to make their
houses safe deposit vaults for articles
Of value: not to leave their houses
unguarded or unlocked, and not to fall
for ancient flimflam games. The po-
lice also ask that everybody immedi-
ately report suspicious persons.
There is just one safe rule at a time
like the present. and that is to be
careful. The crooks and grafters are
seeking prey. They have all sorts Of
games and tricks. They are smart.
1t is better to be suspicious Of every.
body in big crowd than to figure
later as the losing end of a swindle
or a theft.
