WE ARE WORKING WAY
OUT OF WASTE, SAYS
PRESIDENT HARDING

WASHINGTON, Sept 7.-President
Harding, in a letter reviewing achieve.
ments to date of the Republican ad
ministration, particularly with refer
veying the national situation as a
whole, it is plain that we are work
ing our way out of welter of waste
and prodigal spending at a most i'm
pressive rate
The letter. made public late Tues
day, was written by the president un-
der date of Aug 90 to Senator Medill
Mccormick, of Illinois, and it is un-
derstood will be used in the campaign
in New Mexico, where Senator Bur-
son, appointed to fill out the unex-
pired term of Albert B. Fall, secre-
tary of interior, is candidate for
election.
The letter. it also is understood
is considered by Republican leaders
to be a reply to attacks on the legis-
lative record of the Republican con
gress by Chairman White, of the
Democratic national committee, and
other leading Democrats.

I'VE have made much progress to
ward retrenchment, and greatly in
creased efficiency" the president as
serts. Il cannot but account it to be
monumental accomplishment which
has marked the work of the extra or
binary session down to the time of its
recess"
Looking to the future, Mr. Harding
in his letter expresses the confident
hope that congress, after the recess
and before the end of the extraordin
airy session, will adopt both the tariff
and taxation measures and that along
with these it will pass the bill to per
NIT funding of the debt owed to Us
by foreign governments.
This. | hope" the president adds
shortly will be followed by arrange
ments under which debtor countries
will begin paying interest on their OBJ
legations
Likewise, l am confident that the
bill facilitating funding of the debt o

become law during the extraordinary
session, thus insuring a large and i'm

is the anonymous book Mirrors of
Washington" which has made a
sensation in the Capital City. 1t is
modelled after a similar book, Mirrors
/ of Downing Street." which has treated
the British administration in the same
way and achieved a wide popularity in
England. 1t is series of sketches of
American politicians-presiden SEN
ators and diplomats. The most strik-
ing thing about it is that it evidently
is quite without political bias. The
unknown author of this book sees his
SUBJECT from the viewpoint of an
artist. His only object is to portray
and interpret his man-to make you
see and understand him. His book has
received much adverse criticism as
well as much praise. 1t has been said
that in some cases his facts are wrong,
and that in others he has revealed a
personal dislike. He also has been
blamed for not signing his name to a
BOOK which is so sure to be resented
| by great many people.
An Attempt at the Truth.
But ever his detractors admit that
he has written brilliant and interest
| ing book. No mere human can ever
| o. GU tAiS NOIlp1ClS IIulu dUOuI any
| one. The best he can do is to offer a
plausible theory, logical and supported
by evidence. This the author of Mir
rors' most effectively does. Out of
many such attempts comes the nearest
! approximation to the truth that we
/ can hope for. If our public men were
constantly subjected to this sort of
COOL, scientific analysis, every voter
/ n lie
a clear idea of them
! That is the one thing above all
others that the voter needs and in the
past has lacked 1t has been said a
thousand times that in America
political life attracts only second-rate
men, that the real brains of the coun.
try seldom get into its government
Surely one reason for this has been
that the real stature and capacity OF
our political figures has always been
hidden. Our political journalism and
oratory has been a smoke screen be
hind which frauds and Founders of all
sorts have advanced to high positions
and have done incalculable harm. A
book like Mirrors" whatever its
faults, is brave attempt to throw &
beam of light through this cloud Of
obscurity, to reveal the true size anC
nature of some of the strange beings
that dwell behind it
And the same spirit and viewpoint
that animates Mirrors may be found
cropping out in other places. Some o.
the magazines display a far more
critical and detached view of public
men than they used TO. There i:
p strong reason to believe that a new
kind of political journalism is coming
into being, and that the old partisan
buncombe is going to die of its owl
. absurdity and weakness.
