clusions reached behind closed doors
by small group of men were ratt
fed. The Washington conference will
itself be small, with few powers rep
resented, and probably few delegates
in attendance. however large may be
the official retinues Of experts and ad'
visers. 1t is impossible to prevent pri'
vate conferences and understandings
but it is possible to hold in public
the defnitive sessions at which the
vital issues are discussed and respon
sibilities assumed for decisions.

such an association would automatic

to this effect would be. of course, re.

take the form of q treaty. That would
be an alliance. by whatever title il

The President and Business.

This is taken from an interview
with John Wanamaker. who has just
passed his eighty-fourth milestone
hale. CHEEKY and optimistic:
"'What do you think of the busi-
ness outlook? Mr.. WanamakeF was
asked Well he said. as he perched

The greatest business man in the
United States today is the President
I speak from actual knowledge gain
ed in a day spent with him in the
White House. He meets all issues
squarely. There is no side-stepping
feel that we have never had in the
White House a man of such wide ex-
perience and SO capable to meet all
the problems that come before him.
That fact, fairly considered by all the
business men of the country. should
bring them great courage as to the
future.
Mr.. Wanamaker, a business man
himself. makes a point important for
all business men-and, for that mat
ter, everybody-to consider at this
time. With business in the dumps
with all the pressing public questions
partaking of business; with the fact
recognized that only through a revival
of business can the people hope for "a
happy issue out of all their afflic
tions," it is of great moment that the
man occupying the White House
should have a thorough understanding
of business and be in sympathy with
the best aims of those working tc
business ends.
Mr.. Harding fills large space as
successful politician and orator. But
he has also had distinct success as a
publisher. He put life into a mort
bund country newspaper. and built II
up to exercise statewide influence
and to assist in his promotion to the
highest Office in the country. He thus
got an insight into business methods
and requirements, and has pursued
his studies in all the places he has
held since.
Mr.. Wanamaker's point is well
taken, and should be widely consid
cred.

Prohibition and Fanaticism.

In the Senate yesterday, Mr.. Wads
worth. in opposing the provisions Of
the anti-beer bill placing restrictions
upon the prescriptions Of physicians
said:
This is fanaticism run riot. It's
scarcely rational or sane legislation
We can't go on in this way and re-
tain respect for the law or the Con.
stitution.'
This is strong language, but moi
stronger than used by anti-prohibi
tionists against the whole prohibition
cause. In their opinion, the eight
eenth amendment is "fanaticism run
riot" while the Volstead law is sim
ply an effort to put "fanaticism" into
operation. Mr.. Bryan is dubbed 1.-The
arch-fanatic" because of his insist
ence on the execution of the law.
The surest way to break down q
law is by winking at evasions. What
is put on the books should be executed
in good faith, according to the letter
and spirit of the enactment. Prohi
bition was intended to prohibit; and
the way to prohibit is to prohibit.
The men who marched In the wet
parade in New York the other day
were frank. They declared on trans
parencies carried in their line their
opposition to the eighteenth amend
ment, and their purpose to secure its
repeal If possible. All wet maneuvers
have that object in view; and they are
multiplying in number and intensity

work cut out for them, and should be
diligent about performing it.

The President on the Bonus.

President Harding. in his address
yesterday to the Senate. dealt the
final blow to soldier bonus lesis-
lation. Congress had already been ap-
prised by the Secretary of the Treas
ury that the bill would imperil the
financial stability of the United
States. Still it vacillated over the mat
ter, awaiting the word from the chlet
executive which would relieve its IN
dividual members of responsibility for
the decision; would shield them from
that phantom menace-the adverse
soldier vote. That word was yester-
day given by the President. given
with courage and clean-cut precision.
Three main points stand out in the
Presidents able and conclusive state
ment of the case-the pronouncement
of the economic absurdity involved IN
paying gratuities which would imperil
our capacity to discharge debts al
ready contracted; the happy assur-
ance that wounded and disabled vet
Grams. who hold by every right moral
lien upon the resources of the nation,
are being and will continue to be
adequately cared for; and the relent-
less insistence that, rather than to
commit the nation to additional ex-
penditures, Congress can best serve
both the veterans and the general
public by a determined effort toward
that governmental economy through
which general prosperity may alone
be restored.
The words of the President were. in
effect, the words which might at any
time during the past year have been
spoken by the head of family to the
assembled members thereof, including
a war veteran. Assume that family
to be in debt: assume it's heartfelt
gratitude to the boy who-as its de-
fender-went to France; assume the
sentimental desire, prompted perhaps
by suggestion from the boy himself,
to give him gift expressive of that
gratitude. Mother, who holds the
pursestrings of the little group. Is

although his pride and gratitude in
the square-shouldered lad is no whit
less than hers. He sees his imperative
duty to al! concerned-to cut rather
than to increase expenditures, to urge
upon each member of the little group
to work and save to the end that the
notes at the bank may be met and
taken up. He knows that the ultimate
prosperity and happiness of each and
all depends upon so doing. And. know
ing, he does not hesitate to point out
the truth and place the paternal veto
on the proposed gift, a gift which
would only be made through the fur
ther attenuation Of the family credit.
So with President Harding and the
nation. His responsibility was as
pressing, his duty as obvious. And as
the father of the son might be justi-
fled in expecting that, with the facts
before him, his boy would grin, and,
understanding. buck into the task of
cutting down the troublous notes-so
Is the President justified in his con.
fident belief that 1.-The defenders Of the
republic would be the last of our cit
izenship to wish it's stability menaced
by an individual pittance."

lie met Wool, grnnting through the
underbrush. and he punctlliously. but
with wretehed spirit, left the trail. A
fight with Wool the bear was one of
the most unpleasant experiences that
could be imagined He had pair of
strong arms of which one embrace of
cougars body meant death in one
long shrek of pain. OF course they
didn't fight often. They had entirely
opposite interests. The bear was n
berry eater and honey-grubber, and
the cougar cared too much for his own
life and beauty to tackle Wool in n
hunting way.
A fawn leaped from the thicket In
front of him, startled by his sound In
the thicket The truth was, Whisper
foot had made wholly unjustiiied
misstep on a dry twig, just at the
crucial moment. Perhaps 1t was the
fault of Wool, whose presence had
driven Whlsperfoot from the trail,
and perhaps because old age and stiff
ness was coming upon him. But
neither of these facts appeased his
anger. He could scarcely suppress a
snarl of fury and disappointment.
He continued along the ridge, still
stealing, still alert, but his anger an
creasing with every moment The fact
that he had to leave the trail again to
permit still another animal to pass,
and a particularly insignificant one
too. didn't make him feel any better.
This animal had number of curious
stripes along his back, and usually did
nothing more desperate than steal
eggs and eat bird fledgllngs. Whisper
foot could have crushed him with one
bite, but this was one thing that the

Stripe-back was Familiarity known as

Shortly after ten, the mountain lion

mindful of the wind. Then there was
long dense thicket in which he
might approach within fifty feet Of
the lick, still with The wind in his
face. Just beside the lick was another

make his leap.
His body lowered. The tail dashed
back and forth, and now ii had begun

feats a first baseman is called upon
TO perform, but In this respect Shelly
is without an equal for a right-handed
first baseman. His long reach and his
ability to switch his feet makes him
an ideal target and gives the inheld-
ers added confidence. They can cut
loose with their throws and rest as
sured Sheely will stop them If it is
within the bounds of possibility.
With a player like Eddie Collins
alongside of him, Shelly will not have
to cover so much ground, and he can
give all of his attention to playing the
bag.
Shelly is good hitter who makes
the pitcher put the ball over before
he will offer at 1t, and he ought to
hit well enough to insure himself a
permanent berth.
