Foreign Affairs.

Early in it's existence the Harding
administration may be expected to
take up matters with Japan, with
Mexico. and with Cuba. And the day
is not distant. In a few weeks the
new order will begin to function. The
cabinet appointments will be prompt
ly confirmed. and in all probability,
soon after the new Congress assem-
bles in special session-in April-men
will be chosen to represent the new
order at Toxic, Mexico City and Ha-
vana.
There is no warrant for war talk,
or for fear of serious trouble, con-
corning American relations with those
countries. The controversy with
Japan over immigration and the
rights of her nationals now in this
country will yield to treatment. The
situation in Mexico has improved with
there. Gen. Crowder is in Cuba max

the recommendation he bases upon it,
Impatience as respects both foreign
and domestic affairs is the great trou-
BILE now Too many people want too
much done too soon. They seem to
forget in their desire for relief from
existing ills that some of those ills
have grown up slowly and cannot be
removed while you wait. They must
be tackled with an understanding Of
their full nature.
Let us give Mr.. Harding and his
advisers time to take look around
and inform themselves as to the
proper course in these cases and in
all cases.

Debs and Berger.

Eugene V. Debs, denied a pardon
by President Wilson, INDUCES in a
TRADE that will lessen the sympathy
that may be felt for him by some
people. He declares he will not apply
for parole in August next year, when
he will be eligible to release under
conditions, but will serve his term
TO the last day or leave with an I'M
conditional pardon.
The refusal of pardon to Debs was
undoubtedly with the approval of the
country. Aside from his own parti.
sans the only feeling that prevails in
his favor is that there were others
who were just as guilty OF disloyal
acts as he who were not reached by
the law and punished. But that does
not mitigate Debs' offense. He I'm.
doubtedly tried to discourage enlist.

adequate army. He gave aid and

States was preparing to attack, by
thus lessening the fighting power of
this government.

were never accused formally. Debs
was a conspicuous figure and perhaps
his conviction was due in some meas
ure to his prominence. But his po-
sition gave him no immunity. He did
not claim it. He denied that his act
constituted guilt. He asserted that
it was his right as a citizen to preach
pacifism. He claimed that his words
were not disloyal, that his actions

on a similar charge on the ground

offense charged. A new trial will
probably be had, involving long
further delay. Berger's disbarment
by the House of Representatives is
not affected, necessarily. by this de
ciSion, though he may present him
self anew on the ground that he now
stands purged of the charge against
him. In that event there will be no
likelihood of a reversal of the de-
cision of the House. He was not elect

The Presidential Income Tax.

President Wilson having entered
upon his present term of office before
the income tax was applied to the sal
aries of the chief executive and the
federal judges, the courts have ruled
that that impost cannot be exacted in
his case. Mr. Harding, however, will
not be under any such exemption and
must meet the full requirement of
the law. which will deplete his Off
cial income by $500 Thus instead
of receiving $4,000 a year he will
draw in net terms only $56,5S0 for
his services to the United States.
Only by special act Of Congress
can the presidential salary for the en-
suing term be exempted from this
Treasury charge. If it is the thought
of Congress that there should be no
reduction in pay it must before March
1 pass a bill specifically eXempting
the presidential salary. thus amend
ing the revenue laws of 1918. If this
is not done the compensation of the
President will, in effect. have been
lowered by 2412 per cent. If there is
a thought to this effect it should be
put into execution at once, as an en-
actment by the following Congress
President.

The Presidents Recovery.

President Wilson's first appearance
in public since his illness, outside of
his rides about the District, took place
last night, when he attended a the.
atrical performance. 1t has been over
sixteen months since he has thus ap-
peared before the people of the CAPT.
tai. and thus the occasion was nota,
bic and was marked by decided dem.
onstration Of congratulation. Natural.
ly in the circumstances Mr.. Wilson
shows the signs of his long and Sc.
we're illness, but he is so evidently
improving that there is reason to be.
lieve that he will soon be restored, if
not to full bodily vigor. at least to a
comfortable state Of health in which he
can accomplish the work he has laid
out for himself after his retirement
next month.

impressed himself on the financial and
business world. So he finds himself
associated by rumor with large bust
ness projects now. Quite recently a
vacancy occurred in the organization
of the enormous Ford plant at De-
troit, and rumor promptly filled it
with Mr.. McAdoo's name. Asked
about the matter, Mr.. McAdoo had
never even heard Of the vacancy.
He is now en- route to Mexico City,
representing certain American inter
ests in Mexican railroad properties
soon to be returned by the state to
their owners. But rumor will not let
it go at that. While in the country
he will advise with President Obre

to secure the recognition of his gov

Water Supply and Power.

In the discussion of water power anu
supply for Washington emphasis Is
being laid primarily on the need OF
an abundant supply and immediate IN
crease in the amount of water turned
into the mains and available for use.
Nobody can possibly doubt tins ne
cessity A Washington of iooooo
people is i'm stress with the present
water facilities. At 100000 popula-
ton the capital is in danger. and by
the time the proposed increased sup
ply is provided the city's inhabitants
will assuredly reach that point.
Let it be taken for granted that in
all the projects under contemplation
for the development of the Potomac
river. water supply is placed hrst
and power second. 1t does not follow
from the doubts that have been raised
that there will not be water enough
after the supply is increased for the
development of power on an economic
basis. Some of the engineers are cons
WINGED that even without any eXtraor-
water enough for both purposes. The
only danger in this situation is that
while the discussion proceeds as TO
the feasibility of the power project,
time will elapse in which the supply
Improvement should be carried into
effect.
In the hearings before the Federal
Power Commission sharp differences
of opinion have developed respecting
the feasibility of the simultaneous
procedure on both supply and power
lines. 1t is urged by some that the
two projects should be separated, and
by others that they can proceed to-
gether with no delay in the execution
of that which is SO urgently required.
1t would seem to be an easy matter
to determine whether the increased
supply plan will be delayed in any
way by the development of the power
project. The two plans involve dis
tinct works. The water power scheme
contemplates a dam below Great Falls,
while the supply scheme requires a
dam at the falls. If labor and ma
terials in sufficiency can be had the
two projects can proceed together.
In any case, if simultaneous supply
and power production is possible the
legislative authorization for the work
: can be secured without delay, and the
work itself can be undertaken as con-
ditions permit, with the supply end
of the project always regarded as of
paramount Importance.
No consideration of economy should
be permitted to enter into this equa-
ton. The truest economy consists
of the earliest possible assumption Of
this enterprise. With every year of
delay the cost will be greater. Even
tualiy, as sure as time itself, the water
supply must be increased. and even
tually also the power question must
~be settled. for it is inconceivable that
the Potomac should be permitted to
go to waste if it can be harnessed

The Disillusloned Loggers.

Some months ago the editor of the
Northwest Industrial Worker. an or
gan of the /. w. w. proposed the FOL
lowing questions concerning WORK
ing-class conditions under Russian
sovietism:
Are the workers of Russia permitted
to travel freely through the interior
looking for employment?
Are the workers of Russia permit
ted by the government to organize
upon their own lines without inter-
ference?
What percentage of the workers in
the large industrial sections are or
ganized, and upon what basis?
Are the workers permitted to main
tain their own press without gov
ornamental interference?
The answer to the first, second ana
fourth of these questions is No
Doubtless, the editor realized that
fact. Doubtless. he'also realized that
the answer, were America substituted
for Russia, would be YES"
There were those in authority in the
l. w. w who saw clearly that the
class standpoint, went to the heart
of sovietism and stabbed it. They dis
missed the editor.
But the sequel to the story is the
interesting thing.
The editor has been reinstated. The
lumbermen of his region, who are
his readers and the bone and sinew
of the l. w. w, saw the editors point.
and they approved his courageous
puncturing of the soviet bubble. They
raised such a row about his dismissal
that the authorities had to surrender.
This does not prove, of course, that
the rank and file of the I. w. w. has
been reconciled to American capital
ism, but it goes to show that the rank
and file has been disillusioned con-
corning Russian sovietism. - Chicago

Public men do not fight duels any

New York.

Gov. Miller is finding his job a mans
job. The Albany pace is almost kill
ing. At the end of month he has
been obliged to take a rest from over
work. And yet he is comparatively
young. and until now has shown
physical vigor.
Likewise has he found the spirit of
criticism that turks in the public.
Some of his policies are already UNI
der fire. There are prominent repub-
leans in Greater New York who are
outspoken in opposition to his atti-
tude toward matters in which the
metropolis is interested.
Well. this accords with the reputa-
ton of the man. He was recommend
ed both for nomination and for cleo
ton as possessing ability and reso-
lution-the ability to conceive poll
cies. and the resolution to back them.
He had shown his quality in public
station, and that it was good quality.
Mr.. Cleveland aroused bitter an
tagonisms at the beginning of his
gubernatorial term, and for some time
after. His critics in his own party
described him as "a parochial poll
tician." quite out of place in the gov
errors chair. But he stood to his
guns. carried his points. and advanced
from a state to national quantity.
The governorship of New York is an
office of power and responsibility and
opportunity. Gov. Miller has a chance
to serve the state and make reputa-
ton. The states affairs need over
hauling; and if he shapes the work
satisfactorily he may be rewarded
with a second term.

Not bid our wives pursue
The shopping route for fashions new
A mackintosh-an overshoe
Or two,
Are good enough for you.
You do not call for generous giving,
Which aggravates the cost of living.
You do not prompt the lovelorn lines
Which circulate on valentines,
Nor scare our nerves into the jerks
With fireworks
You don't demand such dancing as
Is done to jazz,
Meath lights that glimmer
And gayly simmer.
Nobody undertakes instructive speech.
Nobody in your name gets up and
breaches
Yet none deny
You prophesy
With silent power which all attention
reaches,
You come-you go your way
In splendid pride,
A happy holiday
Well simplified.
