WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH CON
 GRESS?

(From Springfield Republican,
 We are now in the third year after the armistice which ended the Wor1e war, and government expenditures continue to be 'shockingly' high, to quote Secretary Mellon's word, while there is a hopeless feeling in Wash ington and the country concerning any reduction of taxation. Senator Shoot of the Senate finance commit tee even predicts that taxes will be increased. The comparison of the governments present failure to re duce expenditures to a substantial degree with the sharp fall in expen- ditures after the Civil war must seem amazing ito most of our people. While they may account for it by noting the almost immediate plac- ing of the army and navy after Lees surrender on a peace basis the army's size fell eventually to 25,000 men and the navy almost ceased to exist-they are puzzIed to understand it
 Congress- failure to perform fiscal service today similar to that performed in 1S66-187O is due large ly to the insistence of the admins trajtton upon continued heavy mili- tary expenditures after the war has been won- This policy is excused on the ground that world conditions forbid a. reduction of armaments, es- pecially on the sea. Secretary Weeks has said this week in a public address that i've Qthe administration have information that we cannot di- vulge, obtained in reliable and com petent manner, which makes us the only competent judges This infor- nation, however. is not given to the public, and the public cannot see where the awful danger lies.

What Others Say
A STAR IN THE DAYTIME.

CFrom the New York Evening Post).
 The curious thing about the Star was that once you found it, looked right at it, and kept your attention fixed upon it you could see 1t clearly. If you had the right kind or eyes Lots of people couldn't see 1t at all, some because they did not have the right kind of eyes, but mostly be- cause they were blinded by the garish light of an extraordinarily bright and sunny morning. The sky was a bottomless sea of azure; the clouds that swept across. melting into shift ing wisps and flecks or vanishin g al- together as the sunshine at them up. shone like new snow. The flIttter- ing flags on tall poles distracted your gaze. But if you did get into a sha- dowed place or down in the depths of the canyons between the towering buildings, carefully work out the exact location and fix your gaze there, you saw the Star, glfttering llfe a diamond in the blue.
 Then it came to you afresh that after all the stars are there all the time, passing stately across the sky sending out their steady stream of light, as much and as truly in the glare of the brightest day as against the velvet blackness of the darkest night It is not their fault if, we do not see them. It is the fault of our eyes, filled with the blaze of things, or of the earth-born clouds that shut us in. Also, we do not trouble in the daytime to look at, or for, the stars. Only those who look. out of the depths of canyons, or at the bottom of narrow vistas. see the stars in the daytime
 In the daytime we are all-powerful. we pray, each after his own fashion:
 Now lay me down to sleep:
 I pray the Lord my soul to
 keep.
 As if to say: While I am awake and on the job can take care of myself. While the sun is shining, never mind the stars" The prayers of most of us come out of our fears.
 Suddenly comes day when we dis cover that whether we look for it or not the Star is overhead and shin ing, regardless of our seeing. And we realize then that if our eyes are open and intent we can see it and steer by it-unless we suffer the gar ishness of the day to blind us to it's slittering presence

SEEING THE POINT
(From the New York Tines.)

(F'rom the New York Times.)
 The unprecedented manifestations of approval of Admiral Sims; all over the country, have not failed to irn- press the official mind Secretary Denby brushes aside the question of violated naval regulations as a. minor thing compared with the outrage of proposing to put an afront upon the Admiral, when he comes ashore, by infIamed Sim Feiners- Commis- sioner Enright is also quick to see the point and to understand that the city is in no mood to tolerate rowdy demonstrations aimed at a man whom the people are delighted to honor. The fullest police protection is. promised by the Commissioner, who serves no tice on all misguided Irish-Arnericans that if they go to the pier where the Admiral leaves the ship looking for trouble they will find more than they crave. The indications are, there fore, that whatever is done in receiv- ing the returning Admiral will be in accord with the dignity of New York and the dignity of the navy.
 The present attitude of the public, the changed position of the authori- ties, the spontaneous and overflowing tributes to Admiral Sims from the best in the land all these things should give the heady Sim Feiners pause. They ought to be able to perceive, what is visible to everybody else, that their course has been as if nicely calculated to do all the harm possible to Ireland's cause in the United States. Their idiotic plans to insult Admiral Sims publicly have been sort of climax of folly. Prop ably these schemes will now be aban- doned. out of very shame or a sense of their utter futi1tty, but if an att tempt is made to carry any of them out, the police must put it down with a hard hand. New York is not vet ready to admit that it is powerIess to prevent the reception of a distin- guished naval officer from being bro ken up or nlarred by the crazy pro jects of hooHgans

P. MS IN ROTATION.
From the Evening World)

(From the Evening World)
 Edward M- Morgan was Postmaster of New York City from 1907 until 1917- He was appointed by Pred- dent Roosevelt and reappointed by President Taft
 Thomas G Patten has been Post master of New York City since 1917. He was appointed by President Will son.
 If, now, Edward M. Morgan re- mains Postmaster of New York City as long as there is a Republican ao- ministraIion at Washington, and if the next Democratic President of the United States duly appoints Thomas G. Patten Postmaster of New York City to serve until Edward M- Nor gan's turn comes around again, New Hork will at least have for some years at the head of it's Post Office the efficiency of experience-and as much continuity as it consistent with the pleasant habit of treating Post masters of the First Glass like Am bassadors who bow themselves in and out with their party.

WELCOMING SIMS.

The demand for a popular recep- ton of Admiral Sims seems to be one of those spontaneous outbursts of public sympathy that follow a cou7a- geous act which expresses the long pent-up thought of thousands. With no animus against Ireland as a whole, there has yet been a snoldering re- sentiment against the Sim FNein ex- trenlists, which grew at acts of fool ish violence and was finally released when the Admiral made his speech.
 By clearing the atmosphere, both here and in England, he has done a service to America and t0 world peace, which entities him to general reception Thousands are expected to meet him, and if time and circum- stances permit, he will be welcomed in a manner beftting the return of a great national hero. New York alone can greet him, but he and his supporters will know that every per son who goes to welcome him is a proxy for thousands more through out the land

WORLD SEARCH

 Not a vestige of conclusive evil dence has been developed from the investigations thus far to clear up the mystery that surrounds the dls- appearance.
 As the search of ship logs pro- ceeds. officials. by a method of elim- ination, should be able, it is said, to definitely fix the identity of all ships which were in the vicinity of the Deerings position during the period in the latter part of January last. By ths process it was said the vessel which ignored the lightship's call, and which is one of the few which are not recorded on the lightship's records as having pissed that point, may be fixed with certainty. If this clue is obtained, officials may have something to work on in tacklinS the other mysteries
 All lines taken by investigators have led up blind alleys. officials said- Ship experts declared it stands out as one of the most perpIexing series of ship mysteries in marine history.

Files Claim On Estate Of
 Roosevelt

Hillsda1e, Ind. June 23-Mrs. Emma Richardson Burkett, who has filed a claim for $69,9O0 against the estate of Theodore Roosevelt to ob- tain payment on a note she said was endorsed by the former president, to- day related a story of an estate in herited and loaned out during the Republican national convention in June, 1912.
 The note bearing Colonel Roose- which she came into possession of the money ar ein the Chemical National Bank in New York, she says
 Her story came after she had been told that attorneys for the RoOse- estate characterized the coloneFs in dorsement as a forgery. Mrs. Bur kett says she resided at Danville, Ills, when the loan was made. An uncle, Henry Richardson, minor. had left a will providing. that she $69 300, and turn over the interest to Mary kenney, his daughter.
 Mrs. Burkett said she received word from a friend that an investment for the money had been arranged, and that she was taken to an office in Chi cago where she met Colonel Roose- welt and Charles J. Shunson- There, she said Shunson signed the note and the colonel endorsed it.
 Shunson, she ayers, paid her the interest on the loan until 1917, when he went to France.
 She also declared that she expected soon to receive d message to go to Cincinnati to see Mrs. Alice Long worth, the former presidents daugh- ter but would not reveal the purpose of the contemplated trip.

A FINE SELECTION.

 President Harding has done the country a good service by his selec- ton of Charles G. Dawes, of Chicago as director. of the budget under the budget law recently enacted by Con gresS,
 Mr. Dawes is a man of brains, large executive and financial experi- ence, and a kind of independent cou- rage that will be very useful in his important position He is not a very violent partisan, as his vigorous liam basting'' of one of the Senate smelling committees on the conduct of the war last winter gave ample and pie turesque evidence. He was serious Iy considered for the post of Secre- tary of the Treasury just before that, but he proved a bit too plain-spok- en for the job
 If anybody can make the budget system work as it should, that man would seem to be Charles G. Dawes More power to him.

 Supporters of both candidates con tinued their campaigns at top speed today, carrying their electioneering to the floor of the convention. The Lewis boomers made public a telegram sent by John Hassler, presi- dent, and William Mitch. secretary of the Indiana district, United Mine Workers, to Frank Harrington. presi- dent of the Illinois district; Robert Harlan, president of the Washington. and Alexander HOwat, president of the Kansas district, urging them to vote flor the miners leader. All three of these district mine leaders are delegates to the convention and are reported opposed to Lewis.
 The telegram said that the execu- tive board of the Indiana district had held a meeting and canvassed the situation and it was convinced that the great mass of Indiana miners overwh elmingly favored a change in the presidency of the American Fed eration of Labor.
 The railroad organizations up to today had failed to declare which candidate they would support If they reach agreement labor leaders said, their vote probably would de- eide the election.
 With the railroad and the Irish question disposed of, the convention today began to dispose of number of minor matters and prepared the way to take up jurisdictional disputes and the question of relations with European labor movements. Among the more than score or resolutions yesterday were included declarations:
 Urging passage of the Nolan bill to make the minimum wage for gov ernment employees $3.
 Supporting the executive councils report on adverse court decisions and urging enactment of a national anti injunction law.
 Supporting efforts of seamen to get workmenS compensation ana accl- dent insurance.
 Supporting the United Mine Work CTS in their court cases growing out of the coal strike.

 At the conclusion of the short ses- sion, Secretary of the Navy Denby re- ceived newspaper reporters and said
 Admiral Sims denied the accounts of the statements attributed to him. He said that he had been incorrectly quoted. I gave him a written memo randum setting forth these state ments and asked him to inform me in writing where he was incorrectly quoted and to tell me if he could, what he did say in that speech"
 Secretary Denby would give no hint as to the nature of his future action in the Sims case, and he would add nothing to the brief statement made at the close of the interview.
 It was understood. however, that there will be no more action in the case utnil Admiral Sims has forward ed his statement to the Secretary in writing, pointing out that the differ ences, if there are any, in what he actually said and what he is reported in press dispatches to have said con- corning the "jackasses.'
