INVERTED.

George Bernard Shaw has been
GENERALLY considered the champion
\ WISER Of Inverted logic Of this age. But
the United States has in It's secretary
p1 the navy an inverted reasoner who
VIII make Shaw look to his laurels.
MT. Daniels is In favor OF the United
States getting together with most Of
ne other nations to agree on q pro
sram Of disarmament. and he de-
ciares his willingness to tender such
advice to the president-elect should
his optnion IN the subject be asked.
But he Is dead set against any limita-
ton OF naval construction for a def
mite period, and he opposes particu-
Iarly such an agreement as has been
proposed with Great Britain AID ia
pan for the reduction Of their naval
equipment.
i y in connection with this latter
proposal that the secretary's logic is
shown in all its topsy-turveydom.
Such an agreement among these three
nations. Mr.. Daniels says, would be
accepted by other nations as evidence
of q sinister alliance, aud other alli-
aances would promptly be formed in
order to counterfeit this one:
IT the United States, Great Britain
and Japan were to enter into a COM
pact to increase their navies, there
would be q cause for anxiety on the
part of other nations which could be
appreciated by the ordinary human
being. But just how France, or Italy,
or China should find any reason for
alarm in the spectacle of the greatest
three naval powers scrapping a lot of
their fighting equipment is one Of
the things that it requires the intel
Isct Of a Daniels to understand. Mr..
Daniels does not mention specifically
any nations which he thinks will be
frightened into counter alliances, but
those named will do as well as any.
Take the cas- of China. The Chi
nese are probably not worrying much
about the navies of Great Britain or
the United States. But we can TN
asine a lot Of Chinese statesmen
sleeping much more soundly at night
il they saw the Japanese navy being
reduced to half its present proper
tions.
This is the first time that we have
seen it minated hat to lay aside
weapons isaa menace to the neighbor-
hood.

MOTHERS PENSION LAW.

- = .- =-N f-.N-
Forty out of the forty-eisht states
have now adopted some form OF
mothers pension. according to the an.
nual report OF the chief of the chill
dren's bureau Of the United States
department Of labor. They have rec.
ognized the principle that children
should not be taken from their
mothers because Of poverty alone.
The rapid extension Of the mothers
pension movement indicates the gen
eral belief Of the country in the para
mount value Of home life and q
mothers care.
However. although large grants
have been made in many Of our
states. the amounts In general are
far too small. says the report. The
increased cost of living has not, been
met and the full purpose of the lawa
is not attained. Some of, the states
are now making careful studies ol
Increased costs SO that allowances
may respond to the higher prices.
The systems Of administration vary
widely in the different states. So M
do the amount of the allowances end
the methods of supervision. The
chtldren'a bureau points the neceseity
of making a careful Investigation al
the methods in use in all thes states
so that the country may be given the
beneft Of all the experience Nhich
has been gained through the operA-
ten Of these laws.

Wh4ttvsr decision may be reached
with rsterstcs to the character Of the
Inaugural ceremonies at washington
On March q. ths aselafAtisn Of Pfss-
ident-elsct Harding In favor Of the
sirnplest possible ~cefsmontes, with no
attendant expense, WILL do much to
limit tho cost attendant upon the
event.
We bsltsvs that there h q very gem
eral feeling that the inauguration Of
y president Of the United States should
be attended with ceremonies somsS
Whist IN keeping with the dignity Of
the position and the greatness Of the
nation ver which the new chief mag.
istrate will preside. The principle 10
the same as that which demands that
the buildings In which the legislative
ana executive, work Of the nation Il
performed shall be planned, NOT only
for utility but for beauty. The gov
ernment Of ., treat nation represents
something more than the manual &C.
~tivfties by means Of which its opers-
tons are performed. The offices Of
the government should be something
more than q set Of factory buildings,
and the inauguration of a president
means something more than the
swearing in of q town constable.
Nevertheless, the conditions which
exist now r not the ordinary and
normal conditions, and in some cases
they demand something different from
the ordinary and normal treatment.
We are experiencing the effects Of a
world war in which, for a time, we
were active participants. During the
progress Of that war our affairs were
diverted from their usual course, and
were quite largely in a state of demor-
alizatton. The imperative needs of the
moment prompted action regardless Of
cost. That spirit extended into all our
operations, whether Immediately rela-
ted to the war OF not. Our entire life
was on a plane where it could not be
maintained.
Reaction has set in, and the process
Of readjustment Is marked by com
plications of many kinds. The criti-
cal period is being passed safely, but
thinking people realize hat there is
need as never before among us for the
homely practices of industry and thrift
in order that the ravages of war may
be more quickly repaired. Without
question it is that consideration that
has prompted Mr.. Harding to set him.
self squarely against even the usual
and ordinary expenditure on inaugu-
ration day.
His action will have an important
influence in focusing the attention Of,
the country on the, Importance Of
abandoning completely the extraya-
gances of the past and setting our-
selves in earnest about the work Of
reconstruction through the only means
which can be effective, hard work and
lots of it. And it may be accepted,
too, as striking the keynote Of sound
economy and business efficiency for
The new administration. :

FIGHTING LAWS.

and it, recognition has prompted
