No Senate Recess,

The vote was close-27 to 24-but
the Senate acted wisely yesterday in
deciding to remain on the Job. There
is good deal Of work to be done.
Some Of it is very pressing. All of it
is important. Congress should show
its hand at as early a day as possible.
A recess. therefore, would not have
impressed the country favorably.

come acquainted. and are showing a

Three Years Of News.

Eight years ago Jim Eslinser. a resi-
dent Of Fort Smith, Ark, and his fam
lily were stricken with pellagra. His
wife died, and his children recovered,
but Eslinger remained apparently .
chronic sufferer from the disease.
Three years ago he sank into stupor,
from which he could not be aroused
by any remedies or treatments. He
had what may be called q sleeping
sickness. This lasted 90 long that
Eslinger's case became medically
famous. He was known as the world
champion sleeper. The other day, to
the establishment Of all observers, he
awoke and apparently In good health.
One Of his first acts was to ask for q
chew Of tobacco. Then he talked over
the telephone to a friend. Now the 1T.
tendants at the hospital are wondering
how they will 20 to work to acquaint
him with the happenings Of the past
three years. Much has occurred since
he lost consciousness. He has not slept

Mr.. Harding's quality 10 that Of .
man who seeks light on subjects pre-.

nizes the fact that there are two sides

how to solicit and secure both sides,
and. with both sides before him. does
not dawdle or hold back in the forming
and announcing Of opinions.
This quality is now coming into
play, and the President will have use
for all he possesses. Measures on Capt.
tol Hill are taking shape. Republican
councils are divided. As usual. the

Applyiug Protection Now.

The Fordney tariff measure Is sched'
uled for a searching debate in both
House and Senate. The shape In which
It will emerge from the ordeal Is any
body's guess. Naturally, both In Con-
rress and out. anxiety exists on the
subject. Conditions are such that In
all sections and circles the people will
follow the measure clear to the Presi'
dents table with the keenest interest.
They want all the benefit that can
possibly issue from a thoughtful and
painstaking revision Of the Underwood
law.
Protection. to work the end sought
revenue production and the revival Of
business-must have q truly national
application. The manufacturer, the
merchant, the farmer. the wage-earner
and the miner must all be remembered.
All have a stake in the game. Either
class legislation or sectional legisla-
ton would work harm. 1t would SOW
discomfort where that crop Is already
appallingly large.
It Is not going to be an easy mat
ter for Congress to produce what 1s
wanted. Applying protection now must
take into account the unsettled condi.
tions Of the outside world. We are
seeking more trade beyond our own
borders than ever before; and a. one
Of the results Of the war all trading
nations are finding it necessary to re.

Prize Fight Reform Folly.

The silly procedure started In New
Jersey last week to stop the big prize
fight continues even after the tight has
been pulled of and the immense au-
dience has gathered and dispersed. An
effort IL being made to arrest Dempsey
on a charge Of assault. but Dempsey
shows certain aloofness that has
made it hard for the reform agents to
get him. He apparently is harder for
them to reach than he was for Carpen-
tier on Saturday. But there are other
objects Of attack. Failing Dempsey.
the reformers are going after Gov. Ed.
wards, because he refused to stop the
fight and particularly because he at.
tended 1t. They are going to have him
inpeached. They will find this pro.
cedure difficult, because the legislature
10 not in session and will not meet for
some months. Only the legislature can
impeach the state executive, and Gov.
Edwards is not likely to call an extra
session for that purpose. 1t has de-
veloped In this connection that no less
than twenty-one Of the state senator's
were present at the fight. a fact that
may bear somewhat on the prospect
Of successful impeachment procedure.
II the people Of New Jersey feel that
the law under which this prize fight
was conducted Is q bad thing for the
morals and peace of the state they
will probably cause its repeal. 1t is
perfectly proper for them to conduct
a campaign to effect its abrogation at
the next session Of the legislature.
Whether others than New Jersey peo-
pie should start and promote this move
Is perhaps a matter Of taste. 1t can
not be denied that the prize fight was
not merely an interstate, but was even
an international. affair. Still. the
spectacle Of an outside organization
seeking to regulate the affairs Of New
Jersey Is calculated to arouse some
antagonism and to militate against
the success of its enterprise.
Prize fighting may be brutal. Many
people think it Is. Many hold that It
Is reversal to barbarism. Some even
think that 1t lis not an honest game,
but Is a purely commercial proposi.
ton devised for the mulcting Of the
public in large sums. But be that a.
1t may. this is. strictly speaking. New
Jerseys affair. and the exertions Of
the reformers, while to a certain ex.
tent valuable In keeping the subject
alive. are likely to get nowhere. Had
they contented themselves at the tight
stage with a denunciation Of the
spectacle and the law under which 1t
was legally conducted and then gone
to work to arouse within the state a
reaction against the permissive statute
as q protection against future enter.
prises of this character they would un.
doubtedly have enlisted q large sym.
pathetic following. Their present pro.
gram has been one of successive
blunders.

A Railroad Vote by September.

Not later than the 1st Of September
the members Of the railway WORKERS
organizations will vote upon accept
ance or rejection Of the reduced wage
scales recently adopted by the rahroao
wage board. This is not to be regarded
az a sure indication Of a strike. NOR
on the other hand. Is II assured that
there will be a general acceptance oS
all of the organizations. The only
thing assured about the case Is tnat
for the next two months the country
will be kept in suspense on the score
Of a possible tie.up Of the transporta-
ton lines. This. in turn, means
delay Of eight weeks in the settlement
Of business conditions upon a substan'
tial basis.
II the railway men vote to strike the
roads will be tied into a serious knos
and the country will suffer severely.
On the other hand. II they vote to &C.
cept, with perhaps some adjustments
that are demanded and that can be
effected by the roads themselves with
out reference to the wage board. the
process of reorganization will have
been started. From this railroad wage
settlement will undoubtedly come ma
terial gains toward cheaper living
costs. The whole country has q stake
in the situation. 1t hopes for cheaper
Transportation ai.i for quickened pro-
duction and more general employment.
A strike will mSan increased unem'
ployment. heavy losses and probably
higher prices.
It is alleged by the operatives that
some of the roads have practically
defied the wage board by adopting
certain scales not in conformity win
those proclaimed by the board. II this
IA true the railroads can be brought to
book. A strike is not necessary 10
assure Justice. Indeed. a strike would
be the worst possible means that could
be adopted.
A feeling prevails that the disposl'
ton of the executives Of the operatives
ORGANIZATIONS is toward acceptance.
Probably IL they had had the authority
they would have accepted the award
themselves for their memberships.
Submission to vote has plainly been
required by the rules Of the brother
hoods. A conservative disposition pre-
walls among the executives and the
country's hope today is that 1t will
prevail also among the men. During
these two months the railroad corpora
tions can themselves promote peace
by following strictly az regards them
selves and literally as regards the
workers the terms Of the wage board s
findings, starting no innovations that
tend to reduce compensations further
and thus manifesting to the operatives
q disposition to be fair. Such a course
will make for acceptance Of the scale
and avoidance of a strike that could
be only calamitous in its effects.
