The PRESIDENT LEADS.

The country can congratulate the president upon
his splendid nerve and the faith he exhibits in pol
ieies he believes to be right. He is assuming the lead
ership, not alone Of his party, but in the general at
fairs,o the country. He waited for congress to de-
velop n leadership with which to cooperate. Con-
gress did not do this. 1t lodged and evaded its re-
sponsibility. And in the language of the street pro-
jected the buck. Mr.. Harding was quick to sense the
situation and although it was not the plan he had in
mind when he entered the White House, he took the
leadership and to the credit of congress it fell into
line with the presidents suggestions as readily as q
ship obeys the helm.
Henceforth the president has committed himself to
leadership whether it is his choice or not; and con-
gress will follow in cooperation. Initiative in the flu
ture comes from the White House. The president has
It and the courage that belongs with it. He will not
show the fear that congress so often shows in deal
ing with 4 situation that may develop unpopular fea'
lures. He will have the public welfare in mind not
his own public fate. e.
Mr.. Harding has the confidence Of the people. They
believe in his honesty and his good purposes. They
will not expect him to accomplish in full all of the
projects he may have for the public good. They will
even expect him to make mistakes. But they will not
desert him as long as he leads the country away from
the errors and dangers into which it was drifting be-
fore they chose him to be their leader.
Mr.. Harding has in his own modest way not only
grown into popular Leadership, but he has grown to
full presidential stature.

INCLINATION TOWARD RELIGION.

Ralph Burton Perry, writing in the Atlantic Month
ly on the inclination Of the two sexes toward religion
makes a point in favor of the man. He says:
Consider the popular view that women are more
religious than men. The real point seems to be that
women are more inclined than men to go to church
which is a very different thing.
Sunday is related to the week as the evening to
the day. For a man, therefore, it is a day at home
and for a woman, a day out. A mans idea of Sun
day is to surround his house with barbed wire, lock
and barricade the doors and windows, disconnect the
telephone, put on his slippers and an old suit, and then
devote the day to reading the paper and 'puttering
A woman's idea of Sunday is to have everything
cleaned and polished up, including the children; every
body in best clothes; and then have half of her friends
in in the afternoon, and visit the other half in the
evening.
mood most easily accommodates itself TO public wor-
ship. If you are all dressed up and socially inclined,
what can be more natural and agreeable than going to
church? And if you are down cellar, in old clothes,
building bookshelves out of a packing box, what can
be more impossible?"

A JOLT FOR CONGRESS.

"Uncle Sam is spending at the rate of ten million
per day" observes the Boston Transcript, "as n re
suit he faces a deficit for the present fiscal year OF
$296, 000, 900. This is not Se partisan charge of a
Democratic politician; it is the stern and timely warn.
ing of the secretary of the treasury in a letter to the
house committee on ways and means. He shows that
expenditures last month were $4,000. 900, as com
pared with only $4,000, 900 for the same month a
year ago. Business depression has brought about the
great slump in the revenue from taxation. And yet
congress insisted upon tinkering with the tariff be-
fore revising taxes. Secretary Mellon foresaw last
spring exactly what has happened; he warned con-
gress but congress refused to heed his warning. Now
to congress and a jar to the country. Perhaps the
congress needed the one as much as the country need
ed the other.
"The long list of suggestions for tax revision made
by Mr.. Mellon deserves careful study. They are clear
ly set forth, and for each Mr.. Mellon is prepared to
make a strong argument. He has been hard at work
studying the effect and probable yield of each new
tax and the reason for the failure of the taxes that
are no longer revenue producers.
"In calling for the cutting down of public ependi-
lures, we cannot believe that Mr.. Mellon intended that
there should be any curtailment in the belated and
for the most part utterly inadequate relief that the
federal government has thus provided for our disabled
veterans. This is a debt we owe the living and the
dead. 1t must be paid as far as it can be paid; the
payments ought not to be longer delayed. Less money
for the National Guard perhaps, but not less assist
ance for our defenders in the war. Mr.. MELONS ap-
peal for a reduction in public expenditures only re-
iterates what he said to congress last spring.

AN UNUSUAL. EMERGENCY.

They have a peculiar situation down IN Mercer
county, West Virginia. There have been SO many
court convictions carrying Jail sentences, that the ca
pacity of the Jail is wholly inadequate to accommo-
date the number who should be serving time. In or
der to relieve the situation the errng brothers called
upon the court with a proposal to give bail and as
fast as places were vacant by reason of expiration of
sentence of predecessors they would surrender to the
sheriff and fill the vacancies. In this manner the jail
would be fully occupied at all times. The court ac,
cepted the suggestion in relief of the emergency and
1t is being carried out faithfully.

RAIL LABOR ADMITS
DEFAMATION LETTER
IS NOT AUTHENTIC
tBy Associated PressD

CHICAGO, May Ira ilroad labor
today formally admitted before the
railroad labor board that it had failed
in it's efforts to prove authenticity of
a letter alleged to have been written
by a Pennsylvania railroad official or
dering defamation of railroad labor
organizations if necessary" in obtain
ing desired information, and requested
permission to withdraw the letter
from the boards record.
The admission was made by Frank
Walsh, counsel for the railway unions,
who arrived during the hearing. 1t
came after l. w. Geer, general man
ager of the southwestern division of
the Pennsylvania railroad, who was
alleged to have written the letter, and
other persons connected with the
road, had denied knowledge of it.
After the railroad witnesses had
been questioned by Donald Richberg,
special counsel for the union, Mr.
Walsh said:
Wants Letter Withdrawn
Since the railroad officials all
deny knowledge of this letter, we re-
quest permission to withdraw it from
the boards records"
James Sheehan, railroad counsel
objected:
This letter was introduced before
this board two months ago with the
badge of verify on it, he said. The
public and the board have been misled
through the publicity given what now
is admitted to be a calumnious charge.
At the time it was introduced, Mr.
Walsh said that if it's authenticity was
not proven labor would disclaim it.
demand that it be disclaimed." After
considerable argument, Mr.. Walsh
said: 1.-THE document is not authenti-
Gated. That's the best l can do for
you, Mr.. Sheehan"
The board then retired to decide
whether the letter should be stricken
from the records.

BELIEVED STRIVING
FOR WORLD MASTERY
(By Associated Press)


TOXIC, May 12.-Revelations of the
work carried on by the Omotokyo cult
which began when the police raided
the headquarters Of the organization
at Ayabe. near here continue to
astound the people of the empire.
Newspapers accuse leaders of the cult
or aspiring to set up an 'omotokyo
dynasty. to which all Japanese would
flock with the hope of attaining world
dominion.
In the secret passage leading from
the temple of the organization at
Ayabe to the residence of Wanisaburo
Deguchi, leader Of the society, the
police declared they discovered por-
trait of Deguchi wearing a costume
resembling that usually seen on the
image OF Ama-Terasu, the Sun God
dess, the traditional grand ancestress
Of the Japanese imperial family. 1t is

of those who were slain for betraying

embodying projects for a social up

incompatible with the present govern
ment of Japan. 1t is said that the
followers of Omotokyo" numbered
100000. When the police seized the
collection of pebbles representing the
divinity of the organization, a band of
the faithful clinched their lists in fury,

sacriligious. Leaders made addresses.

whisky.

An attack on wet newspapers, par

of ST. Louis, urged a congressional
investigation of "favoritism and fail
ure" in the enforcement of the pro.

Mr.. Remmers presented a state
ment from A. A. Busch. president OF
the brewing firm, urging enactment

and opposing medicinal beer. "To
make it possible for only the rich to
purchase is against the greater right
of the greatest number" Mr.. Busch
