Ia Hudson Bay Company post. from
which they had wired their report prior
to taking the dog sled route south to
the railhead. The sled run to the
railroad line will take them nine days.
Is it worth while sending up these
old-style balloons? What Is gained by
dispatching men aloft by means of
helpless gas bags, to be blown hither
and thither at the mercy of the winds
and landed in ice or snow, in forest
or in the sea, as the fates may will?
Such an adventure at this time of
year is especially dangerous, and it
may be suggested that pending some
clear demonstration of the value of
such enterprises a positive ban be put
upon all official non -dirigible balloon
flying at this season. Indeed, the ban
might extend to any season so far as
apparent utility of these flights goes.
Dirigible ballooning has its merits
in that it reduces very greatly the
chances of disaster. Meteorological OBJ
servations can be made by means of
the motor gas bags. which, if condi-
tions are unfavorable, can return with
in a reasonable area. To continue to
use non-dirigible balloons, however,
for any purpose, is a reversal to COM
parative antiquity without any SEEM
ing sense.

The Cabinet and the Country.

There are several reasons why a
strong cabinet may be expected. One
Il that such a cabinet has been prom
ised- Sensing the situation correctly
appraising the task ahead at its full
value-Mr. Harding is searching for
the right advisers, and has an intimate
acquaintance with the leaders Of his
party. ,~
Another reason is that the country
Is expecting the fulhllment Of Mr..
Hardings promise. 1t sees, as he does,
the size Of the task, and believes, as
he does. that, very far from being a
one-man task, it calls for teamwork
on the part Of the ablest men in the
organization.
Still another reason is the character
Of the men under popular discussion
for cabinet places. Take John W.
Weeks. He is suggested for the Navy
Department largely by reason Of the
fact that he is a graduate of Annapolis,
and while in Congress gave close at
tention and cordial support to naval
affairs. But he is also a business
man Of considerable success, and on
that account is mentioned also in
connection with the Treasury Depart.
ment and the Department of Com.
merce.
Take Herbert Hoover. 1t is popu.
lar opinion that he would fit equally
well in the Interior Department, the
Department Of Commerce, or the De.
partment Of Labor. His success In the
business world has secured for him
the confidence Of both capital and
labor. and both would be satisfied ut
seeing him in either Of those posts Of
responsibility.
Mr.. Harding is justified in taking
his time. Curiosity on the subject is
Keen. OF course. but it need not be
gratifed out Of season. The point is
not the making Of an early announce.
ment, but the character Of the an.
nouncement when made.

quietly, taking no part in the political
affairs Of the distracted empire. He
was forced out Of Office through the
bitter hatred Of the ultra-militaristic
elements surrounding the kaiser, no.
tably the crown prince. who could
never forgive the frankness with
which the chancellor spoke OF the in
vasion Of Belgium. The feeling against
Hollweg was more intense on the
score Of his speech in the reichstag
than because Of his reference to the
treaty of 1889 as a scrap of paper"
The latter did not affect the. German
official conscience in the least, but it
is singular fact that it was far more
potent for the enlistment of the ma
lions against the central powers than
the brutal avowal in the reichstag.
Won Bethmann Hollweg furnished
Germany's enemies with a war cry.
He was honest in his declaration, and
it was a singular departure from his
normal role for him thus to speak in
terms Of entire frankness about the
German program. Previously he had
been most carefully guarded in his
addresses, and thus his outburst Of
perfect candor about the unrighteous-
ness of the invasion of the two pa
cific neutral states was the more ex-
traordinary. 1t was always felt that
Hollweg had not entirely agreed to
=,
Belgium and Luxembourg. Indeed, if
that was correct, he was right and
the military staff leaders were wrong.
For the easiest way into France, it
was later proved, lay through south
ern Alsace. Had that route been
taken by the German armies history
might have been wholly different.

Three Whaling Jamborees.

Mr. Harding, probably in jocose
mood, is quoted as saying on his way
back from Panama:
you know how I'd like to have this
inauguration? I'd like to go down
to the Capitol, be sworn in and then
open up the books and get down to
business. l wonder If the people would
stand for it? My idea would be to
wait until it was time to go out of
Office. and then, II the enterprise had
been successful, have whale of a JAM
boree."
OF course, as Mr.. Harding knew, the
people would not stand for it. An
inaugural ceremony was early de.
creed. and has been elaborated from
time to time.
AS Mr.. Harding's triumph at, the
polls was the most signal in our his.
tory, his Inauguration should, and
will. be in keeping with it. It will be
made something to remember in point
Of enthusiasm and wholeheartedness
It will rise, as the campaign did. above
all partisanship, and express an over
whelming sense of appreciation Of the
man and his character.
And why not three jamborees, and
all of them whales? The first this
year, the second four years hence.
when Mr.. Harding comes up for re-
election, and the third in 1928, when
the republican nominated to succeed
Mr.. Harding presents himself for duty?
Jamborees two and three viii depend.
To secure second term Mr.. Harding
must score in the coming four years.
and must score in his second term
if his successor is to be republican.
But as he will start with the cour-
try's confidence he should be able to
hold it in Office; and II for four years
why not hold it for eight? And If
he does hold it, and surrenders the
reins at the end Of eight years to
q man Of his own party, jamborees
two and three will probably equal Jam.

Greece and the Allies.

The following comment on the
overthrow of Venizelos, in the
Katherimini Of Athens. emphasizes
the point that the Greek choice was
not due to "pro-Germanism," but to
pro-Hellenism:
1.-The Greek people who loved France
also loved their king. They have not
forgotten the interference of France
in 1917 in the domestic affairs of
Greece. The French governor. who
expelled the king. promised the people
At that time that II they wished they
could recall him after the war.
France will no doubt be irritated
to see the king re-estab1ished on the
throne from which a French governor
had made him abdicate. It might be
as well to remark here. though. that
the French governor went beyond his
instructions, for NJ. BRAND never
told M. Jonnart to expel King Con-
stantine from Greece. He only re-
quested of him to arrange the Greek
question. But the one who put the
idea of expulsion into the French
governors head was Creek pol
itician, . general in the French army,

ceilor Of the German Empire, stood
in his place in the reichstag and de.
clared: I'VE are in a state of neces.

Success in Office.

In some remarks on leaving office
Gov. Smith of New York said:
Il am grateful for having had two
years here. 1t is a wonderful oppor-
tunity for getting wide and intimate
contact with the people of the state
. and their problems. My experience
leads me to the conclusion that to be
a successful governor man most OF
all must be a human governor real
human being Any man who comes
into this Office with the idea that the
state Is his domain and proposes to
rule his subjects from a lofty eminence
will not get far"
1t is conceded, even by his oppo-
nents. that Gov. Smith got far. He
got so far, indeed, he polled in his race
for reelection nearly a million more
votes than his party's candidate for
President. In the size of its plurality
for Harding, New York broke all rec.
ords. Great numbers of men and
women who voted for the republican
candidate for President voted also for
the democratic candidate for gov.
ernor.
In office Gov. Smith was human, in
that he was always accessible. The
people could always reach him. He
invited their confidence, and listened
when they presented their cases. He
served them whenever he could. and
on the level. He did not convert his
office into "a lofty eminence." He
never essayed the role of master, but
contented himself with that Of servant
the peoples servant to command.
This spirit never fails to make a
good impression whenever manifested
by a public official. A stream cannot
rise higher than its source. In this
country the people are the source Of
power, and the man who receives
power at their hands should never
try to rise above them. The nearer
he remains to them, and the more so.
licitous he shows himself to be for
their welfare, the greater his success
in ONCE.

The World Coming Back.

The New York Tribune, quoting
from consular reports showing the in
crease of exports this year over the
figures Of last year. says that 1.-The
countries of Europe are coming back"
All countries are coming back. You
can't keep a working world down.
And the world is getting to work.
Not as rapidly as some could wish,
and as seems necessary. Here and
there complaint is heard, and even a
note of despair is sounded.
But no reading man Of reflection is
in despair. He knows the stories of
past wars and the destruction they
inflicted, and what followed. Warning
countries-even those that seemed to
have exhausted themselves in con-
f1ict-came back. and became even
stronger than before. Such will be
the story this time.
It was the greatest of recorded
wars, with record losses In blood and
treasure, and there was a little more
than four years Of it. Everything
seemed to totter, and some things fell.
But much remained standing, and
with that to start with the world will
go forward again.
The world must go forward. It is
the law Of life. Civilization is very
far from being played out. The in
juries inflicted were severe, but even
the scars in time will disappear. When
trade revives, and all men are en-
ployed-the capitalist with his money
and the wage-earner with his hands
they will be too busy to indulge in
and be retarded by bitter memories.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Errstic Electricity.
Beside the bright electric glow
I sat to read book.
A history unclaimed me 50
That eager grew my look.
A battles fierce, relentless game
Had left my soul in doubt
On who the victory should claim
And then the light went out!
To ease my vibrant nerves I sought
A bit Of fiction next.
The heroine in a trap was caught;
Her mind was much perplexed.
The villain had lion trained.
A hungry beast, though stout.
To eat her up. Her side he gained
And then the light went out!
The poets most esthetic lay
Is printed all in vain.
What philosophic sages say
They never quite explain.
The smart biographer's report,
The patriots stirring shout.
Each came to a conclusion short,
Because the light went out!

Inauguration Rooms.

Suggestion is made that a canvass
Of the city be conducted to ascertain
the places where Inauguration guests
can be accommodated outside Of the
hotels. In all probability there will
be a considerable overflow from the
stated places Of accommodation, and
it win be well to have prepared in ad-
vance list Of rooms in private houses.
This work should be undertaken at
once. In a little more than eight
weeks the first Of the Inauguration
visitors win be coming. By thorough
organization in advance the city can
be searched for housing places and
definite arrangements made for space
and rates, SO that upon their. arrival
those who have not made reservations
in advance can be directed to suitable
accommodations. Furthermore, by get
ting this Information early prospective
inaugural visitors who write ahead
for rooms can be suited.
It is highly desirable that Washing.
ton should make every effort to enter
tain these people comfortably and
reasonably. The city has been given
an i'll repute in respect to housing
profiteering. It does not deserve this
bad name. Practically every other
city in the country has had the same
experience. Washington has suffered
from the housing congestion unduly
and from causes not Of its own max.
ing. Now that conditions are nearly
normal. with the wartime crowd great.
ly reduced. it can demonstrate its hos.
pitality without concentrating, and
this it is to be hoped win be the re-
suit Of the committees present effort
to list accommodations at fair prices.

THE spirit Of war is still rife in

violence prevails among the masses
against this spirit. but which is still
more dangerous. Those classes
which are used to war have acquired
a professional mentality, and the in
monopoly are frequent source Of
disorder.
europe will not have peace until
she has changed the conditions of
peace. Europe will only see the
spirit Of violence done away with on
the day when her international policy
will no longer be inspired by violence.
What will be the moving forces
in this direction?
"In many countries internal moves
in this direction have taken place.
But the United States alone can
really be a decisive factor. If the
United States realizes that the At
lantic is not q sufficient separation,
and that the fate of Europe is also
the fate Of America; if she realizes
that having been a decisive factor
in war she must also be a decisive
factor in peace; If she becomes con-
WINGED that the economic catastrophe
towards which we are all advancing
can only be avoided by a clear UNDER
standing of realities and by a sincere

II she makes good use of her posi-

fact that she possesses the greatest

there any hope of the horizon
