BACK UP HARDLNc

T is apparent IN the press comment and official
l statements on the other side Of the Atlantic that
the proposed Harding disarmament conference is e1-
pected to be something more than a mere discussion
Of plans to scale down expenditures for armament.
Europe is oyerjoyed to have America again taking a
lead in such matters and President Harding may make
the conference as inclusive as he wants to without en-
c%ountering any opposition from the countries he has
invited to participate,
Here at home, however, the sailing is not as clear.
The opposition in congress and out to anything that
looks like international political engagements probably
will make an effort to limit the scope Of the proposed
gathering. If such an effort were to prove successful
it would be most unfortunate for this country and tie
world at large and public opinion should line up behind
the President and make it plain to him that he can
count upon hearty support in anything that he might
undertake toward reducing the war menace Of the
world.
This support upon the part of his fellow country
men in such an undertaking as he has embarked upon
has been earned by the President. He has proved that
he is no theonst bent upon trying to hasten the millen-
ium. but instead is a steady going practical statesman
who is determined to do his level best for his country.
If he is backed up in the right way he may go a long
way toward making war impossible, but in any event
he will not leave his country any the worse for his eff
forts.

HERES q simple bit of counsel that will help

In no mater what community you dwell:
when the traffic cop upbraids you, Just forget that

And an independent citizen as we'll;
Though his Judgment as to speeding proves him

And his language seems perhaps a trifle-strong.
Do not seek to argue with hin, simply answer.

For he knows It's only toolishness to fight.

In some circles there probably will be a lot of
growing about the activities of police officers in
towns further up the valley who are making ar
rests for exceeding the speed limit for automobiles,
but as a matter of fact those who suffer from this
are not entitled to the least sympathy. The way
the state and local traffic laws are ignored ought
long ago to have aroused popular indignation. How
ever, it is only after some such an occurrance as
that Of yesterday in which several small boys were
