! That is my ambition. That is my opportunity for

In his farewell address to the senate. following his
election, he said: zone cannot promise agreement IN

iusistently wrong, but we may md common ground IN
the spirit of service. There is so much to be
done, snd we have already had 50 much delay, that l
should like unanimous recognition that there are no
party ends to serve, but precious days are calling for
service to our common country"
Repeatedly in his inaugural address he stresses the
importance Of service: Il can vision the ideal repub-
lie, where we may call to universal service every
plant. agency, OF facility, all in the sublime sacrifice
for country. Out of such universal service Will
come a new unity Of spirit and purpose. a new con-

ABOLISH 1T. OF U R

The immediate repeal of the Adamson law is de-
manded by the American Farm Bureau Federation.
The law should be stricken from the statutes. 1t is
directly responsible for the unreasonable transporta-
ton rates, and has affected both industries and agri-
culture and has done more to disrupt the economic
situation than any law ever adopted.
Under the specious purpose of applying the eight
hour day to railroad workers the Adamson law in
reality fastened conditions of employment upon the
railroads that had the effect t of a substantial wage in
crease while reducing the amount of work turned out
by each man per hour. The manner of its passage
was sufficient to condemn it with all fair-pinded men.
The war was on in Europe, and the danger of our own
involvment in the conflict was imminent. Under those
circumstances the very leaders who now seek to pre-
eipitate a general rail strike informed the Democratic
congress that the nations transportation would stoo
unless the Adamson bill was enacted at once. The
flow of supplies to the allies would have been STONED
and quite likely the Germans would have won the war
in the winter of 1916-1917 If American rail lines had
been tied up. The. bill was passed and is now on the
statute books.
Any law that comes into being under such condi.
tons ought to be repealed, regardless of what its
merits are alleged to be. We want nothing in onr
statutes that is not the outcome of free debate, among
the representatives of the people in congress. The
Adamson law is simply the expression of the minds OF
the Big Five, upon which a compliant congress placed
its approval under threat of national destruction n 4
refused to do so. The manner of its enactment ouch,
to be sufficient to wipe the obnoxious thing from ths
statutes.

HIS DEVOTION TO SERVICE.

swe shall be ~prospered as we shall deserve pros
perity, seeking not alone for the material things, but
for those of the spirit as well; earnestly trying to help
others, asking before all else, the privilege of service"
thus reads Warren Harding's Thanksgiving procla-
nation.
Warren Harding entered the political campaign a
year ago with that thought ever before him. Service
is to him what the blazing cross in the heavens was to
Constantine: SIN hoe signo vinces." In his accept
ance speech he said: with an unalterable faith and
in a hopeful spirit, with a hymn of service in my
heart, / pledge fidelity to our country and to God"
In his Labor Day speech of 1920 he declared: Work
is the supreme engagement, the sublime luxury of
life. / wish l could plant the gospel of loyalty to
work and interest in accomplishment. And by
.work'' he meant service.
In a front porch speech of September %, 1920, he
said: Service, a willingness to serve intelligently, to
+rain for human service, to cleaye to an idealism of
deeds and honest toll and scientific accomplishment
rather than to serve by mere words"
In his address on Social Justice" sometime after,
he said: 81 believe and have repeatedly said that citi-
zenship is based upon obligaticn"-the obligation to
serve one's fellcwmen-
