TAFT LIKELY TO Be.
COME CHIEF JUSTICE
Selection Of Ex-Presldent In the Event
Of Whites Resignation, Now
Appears Certain.

Washington, March 2S. Newspaper
correspondents have information of a
character sufficiently definite to fur
nish good ground for credence that
William II. Taft has been selected by
President Harding for appointment as
Chief Justice of the United States in
event Of the expected resignation of
the present Chief Justice. Edward
Douglas White.
Some uncertainty exists as to the
course Chief Justice White will pur-
sue. 1t has been a common under
standing in Washington for some time
that he intended to resign from the
Supreme bench, and the information
at hand attributed to the Chief JUS
tice a decided inclination for the ap-
pointment Of Mr.. Taft as his success
sor.
While no one undertakes to speak
in an authoritative way for the Chief
Justice 1t is believed generally in
well-informed quarters in the Capital
that he would be willing to resign If
certain that Mr.. Taft would succeed
him.
The assurance the Chief Justice was
credited with desiring now appears to
be certainty from the Information at
hand as to Mr.. Hardlng's preference
for Mr.. Taft.

BACK TO FARM IS
AGAIN SLOGAN Of
BUSINESS WORLD
Widespread Confidence and OptIm.
Ism Founded Upon knowledge Of
the Inherent Strength And
Soundness Of Nation.

Washington, March 20. - The wide
spread optimism and confidence that
marks the present business situation
Is founded upon knowledge of the
inherent strength and soundness of
the nations economic structure, Acrh-
er Wall Douglas, chairman of the
Committee of Statistics and Standards
OF the Chamber Of Commerce Of the
United States, declares in his monthly
review Of business conditions in "The
Nations Business"
Nothing is more significant and
encouraging at this time" he says,
than the belief in many quarters that
better conditions will prevail as the
season advances. AS q natural conse-
quence of this growing cheerfulness
there is actually more business being
done today, both materially and mem
tally, as it entails the buying Of sea-
sonable goods.
The almost forgotten slogan back
to the farm is being heard once again.
This means that farm labor will not
be so scarce as a year ago, nor will
the hired man command such high
wages, Also it now seems very sure
that there will not be such acreage OF
staple farm products as last spring.
For there is not the same Incentive.
Nor will the cost Of production be so
great. Thus the farmers problems Of
the relation of his cost and selling
prices seems likely to be solved by
supply will ultimately tend to bring
about higher prices, while decreased
cost Of production matching itself
with demand. Decreased production
insures better margin of profit. This
is the way the natural laws of trade
take care Of such problems
Resumption in industrial life Is
usually accomplished by reductions in
wages. Farmers are gradually selling
their products as they find a demand,
or as necessity compels. Movements
Of corn and wheat are larger than
generally supposed"

to establish several new full-time
county health boards in Kentucky will
be begun Immediately by the State

to Kentucky any features that might
seem desirable.
In conducting this campaign Dr..
Blackerby personally will visit the
counties of the state to explain the
advantages Of the full-time boards
which he desires them to establish.
Those counties operating most salts
factorily under the old system of part

Among the health activities that he
will emphasize in presenting this mat

BEAUTIFUL OLD
STORY To Be
PLAYED HERE
"Turn to the Right Is Heralded as
One Of the Best Of Old.Fash.
loned New England
Plays.

Tears and laughter fight for mas
terry in Turn to the Right" the COM
edy success to be presented at the
Washington Theater on next Thurs
day night, March 81, with John Gold
ems original New York-Chicago pro-
duction, but there is one big moment
In the play when the two give way to
hushed stiffness. Tears flow when the
silence is broken but for the moment
the audience Is held dry-eyed and
rigid.
This Is the scene wherein Joe Bas-
com suddenly reappears in the home
that he left as young boy seven years
before. So far as the manuscript Is
concerned there is no scene at all for
not word Is spoken, and yet it is
the one incident Of the play that lin
gers longest in the minds Of the audi
ence.
The scene is laid in the kitchen Of
Mrs. Bascom's little farmhouse. Mrs.
Bascom is reading her Bible, seeking
to prove to herself that her boy must
return in answer to her prayers. Betty
Bascom, tho sweet-faced daughter, has
placed In tn window the lamp that for
for seven years has shown nightly the
wandering boys footsteps homeward.
He stands gazing a. the little mother
bent over her big Bible while Betty,
who does not recognize the intruder,
stares at him.
Suddenly old Mrs. BascOms sweet
and gentle face is raised as If in re-
sponse to some whispered call and. her
tired old eyes gaze into those of the
son for whose return she has just been
praying. For a moment neither stirs
Then the old lady glides forward and
takes the boy in her arms. For what
seems minutes because Of the tense
ness of the situation, the two stand in
each others embrace while Betty
looks on in amazement. Then sudden
ly the mother slips from her boys
arm and falling on her knees, buries
her head in the old rocking chair and
pours forth her soul in silent thanks
giving. 9 +~ Asass-s"'-.- -. y w.
This is scene to which the authors
contribute not word, but thanks to
the wonderful stage craft of Winchell
Smith, it is the most eloquent and
most effective in the beautiful play.

about ten million people have been
killed off, in addition to the regular
number of deaths through natural
causes. And the cost of living is still
up with tendency to go higher. I'm
employment, these same economists
attribute to overpopulation. But at
the end of a wholesale slaughter, prin-
cipally of laborers, employment is

MINE GUARDS
ARE BLAMED

Charleston, w, Va.-Mine guards
and thugs are employed by West Vir-
ginia coal owners in defiance Of law,
and this is the main reason for tur-
moil in southern West Virginia, said
Attorney General England, testifying
before the senate investigating COM
mittee.
Mr. England is the one state Of
ficial brave enough to tell the truth
and show he does not wear the coal
owners collar. He is resident of
Logan county, where the thug system
of government is 100 per cent perfect.
He emphatically stated that he knew
it to be a fact that deputies" were
employed in his county to keep the
miners from organizing unions, and
that he knew there was no law against
them organizing.
He further stated that while the law
specifically prohibited the employment
of mine guards and deputies, this law
was ignored in the counties controlled
by the system.

Lands WAGE AWARD
Won't Build Homes - Cuts
Rates in Building
Industry

Chicago. Judge Lands wage
award that cuts rates in the Chicago
building industry will not result in
home building, writes George w. Per-
kins, editor of the Cigar Makers Of
fetal journal
"Opinions as to the reductions in
cost of production vary" says the
trade unionist. Labor officials say
hat it is approximately per cent,
while some employers claim that it
will amount to not less than per
cent. Taking per cent as an aver
age we find that a house costing
$1,000 under the old scale will cost
$3.50 under the Lands decision. Not
so much of a difference as you were
led to believe by the labor-hating press
that has at all times placed the blame
for the housing shortage on the backs
of building trades unions.
"Now let us see where the real cost
of production lies. The material for
an ordinary bath room in 1914 cost
less than 5000. Today the same ma
terial costs from $3.50 to $675, hence
we find that regardless of the labor
cost the material cost alone on the
one room of the house, the ordinary
bath room, has advanced some $3.50
or more.
"This rank profteering in material
cost goes clear through construction
be it frame, brick, or stucco, and
this extortion is the heart of the whole
situation in the building industry. 1t
is this extortion that raises our rent
TO the point where we must necessar-
lily pinch on our allowance for food,
clothing and everything else that we
need in order that we may provide
shelter from the elements.
Labor may be 'readjusted'-so far
that is all that has been seriously at
tempted-and labor may Loyalty carry
out their part of the 'readjustment,
but unless capital honestly co-operates
neither the building industry nor any
other industry will revive as it should.
The exacting of wartime profits by
combinations and agreements among
those who control industry is crime
against the millions who suffer and
who must abide by wage cuts and
unemployment.
"We are anxiously awaiting some
decision from some one, some where,
that will reduce something besides
wages, which are not now and never
have been anywhere near the actual
cost of living"
