Constructive and Obstructive Statesmen

Mr. Hardng's difficulty in reaching successful
fact that too many Republican leaders arc obstructive
rather than constructive in their relations the party
and to the nation.
The president-elect is quite right in thinking that
by the united efforts of all elements of the party but
such harmony only be obtained if the
of all these elements willing to work together.
1t ought to be evident to all the Republican leaders
who have been called into the councils that of
them be permitted the position of party
dictator, which Mr. Harding himself has refused to
occupy No of them has the right to object to the
appointment of Republican who is satisfactory TO the
incoming president No has the right to insist that
his views of the administration policies shall determine
the of the national governments
1t is true that any of the Republican leaders
has the right to refuse cabinet appointment if he
thinks for any that his duty American
cannot be accomplished in that position But he has not
the right to enter the cabinet unless he is willing to
work in harmony with other Republicans. He has the
right to stay himself he has not the right to insist
upon the exclusion of any else.
In the end doubtless, Mr. Harding will choose his
cabinet members from the constructive Republicans
while those of the obstructive type will have but
themselves to blame if they and those whom they rep
resent not admitted to the inner circles of the
administration.

A Step Toward Disarmament,

The favorable report by the senate committee upon
the Borah resolution practically the passage of
that resolution by congress, for there
think either that the senate will reject the committee
amendments that the representatives will refuse to
give their vote for the proposition.
Unfortunately it is not quite certain that the
three governments of the United States Great Britain
and Japan will be able to reach agreement for prac
teal plan of reducing expenditures for naval
Unquestionably there will be tremendous influences
exertod against the proposition, not all of
which will from those that have sinister
selfish purpose in the matter There sincere honest
and patriotic in all these nations who really be-
lcve that the maintenance of a strong and efficient
navy necessary safeguard for national rights and
tcress, and it not going be easy convince them
of the contrary
The favorable element of the situation is that
popular sentiment in the three nations is strongly in
favor of the proposed reduction. In months It
has been demonstrated that tho United States is able
TO build if It wishes to do So much stronger navy
that either Great Britain Japan build. un-
doubedy this demonstration has influenced sentiment
abroad, and particularly in England. The freedom of
the has quite different meaning to British if
the British navy is not going be easily the superior
of all others.
AS for tho United States sentiment in this country

the scars of the blows given by her
father. The father on cross-eXami-
nation earnestly affirmed his great
affection for his daughter and said
that the punishment that he gave her
was in order to discourage her love
affair with the groom. He said for
the same reason he had kicked Tull
before he was a groom, but having no
affection for Tull he was not as gen
tic with him as he was with his daugh-
ter. The kicking took place at night
in Crisfield as Tull was passing, and
Stewart testified he paid fine for the
pleasure.
The groom testified that he could
not stand the thought of one he loved
being chastised for love of him and
said he insisted on an immediate mar
riage, believing and still believing the
bride is over l8, as she assured him
and still assures him.
The father brought the family Bible
with him, but it was not used at the
trial. How old the bride really is was
not adjudicated.
The wedding party dined at Snow
Hill after the trial and later returned
to Crisfield with light hearts and
happy faces. The father went by
separate conveyance after announcing
that he was through with it all and
they could go their own way

is elderly and an invalid.
Saturday night Irving Johnson. it is
alleged, rushed into the house and at

Gale, it is said, had taken up shot
gun and when johnson approached
him a second time in a threatening
manner and with a revolver in his
hand, fired, the load going into John
sons breast near his heart. Gale fed
from the scene of the shooting and
has not been arrested
