LAND BANk"AGAlN. BUSY.

Renewed operations of the federal
land bank Of Columbia, operating
through four sou. !eastern states, the
Carolinas, Georgia and Florida, are be-
ginning on a large scale again, Tor the
first time since the suit to declare the
reserve bank act unconstitutional was
started sixteen months ago. Scattered
all over the four states, seventeen ap-
nraisers of the bank have again re-
sumed their operations.
For four days past these appraisers
have been in Columbia, in conference
with officers of the bank, receiving in-
structions as to their work and recelV-
ing schedules on which to start opera
tions. OF these seventeen. appraisers
six are new men. The others nave peen

West Liberty street.
- Contractor w. N Wallace is max
ing good headway with the foundation
work preliminary to beginning con-
struction work on the municipal build
ing.
But, of course, it is not to be un
derstood that the duty and expense OF
opening new streets are to deVolve en-
tirely upon the city council. That is
a matter in which individual enterprise
can find considerable outlet, much to
the credit Of individuals.
TO be sure there is very great need
for a swimming pool available for the
young folks somewhere close in. The
boy, Especially, who has to grow to
manhood without experiencing the ad-
vantages Of a swimming pool misses
much.
There is nothing the matter with
that turn from North Congress into
Kings Mountain street; but it is a
good trap for speeders. At least three
automobiles have been wrecked there;
but so far nobody has been killed.
Why leave the town sewed UP
forever when little man-Slzed WORK
would open some much needed streets
The opening Of new streets would tend
to help rather than hurt the property
on the streets already open. That has
always been the result Of enterprise OF
this kind.

The first open outbreak of Repub-
lican dissatisfaction with the admin
istration policy came in the senate
Tuesday with the introduction by Sen
ator LaFoIlette, republican, Wiscon-
sin, of resolution condemning ap-
pointment Hof American representa-
tives to the allied ;cotncils in Europe.
The resolution proposed a declaration
by the senate that 1t -is%contrary to
American ideals and the United States
to participateJin any manner" in the
allied councils The Wisconsin sena-
ator introduced his; resolution after
assurances had been given to Presi-
dent Harding today THAT there was
little criticism. among republican SEN
ators over 'the'appointments and that
the oppositionH ofia1 small number Of
Republican, senators was not serious.
The resolution recalled refusal of the
senate to approve. the treaty Of Ver-
sailles or to sanction the league Of ma
tions; declared that American ,parti-
would be an acceptance Of their "im-
perialistic policies;I. and said in con-
clusion: "It, iss the Sense of the senate
that it is contrary. to, American ideals
and traditions for the government Of
the United States to participate in any
manner in councils the purpose Of
which constitute denial Of freedom
and self government, and thus sane
tion, or appear. to sanction, the acts
of oppression which are now being
inflicted upon Ireland, India and other
subject nations, and that, it is the
sense Of the, senate that the govern
ment of the United States should not
take part III any foreign councils ex-
cept upon the express understanding
that the purpose of such councils are
to be the fulfillment Of the pledges
made by the responsible representa-
tives of this country and the allied
governments during the war, foremost
amongst which was the establishment
throughout the world of government
by consent of the governed" 1t also
was declared that 'barbarous and. un-
civilized warfare is not being waged
against the people Of Ireland" Sena-
tor LaTollette had his resolution read

Responsibility of Authority.

Responsibility OF HutnorlIy. .,,
What an irresponsible man would do
liz he had authority, generally becomes
a very different matter after. the au-
thority is acquired along with respon-
sibility.
People. who were not responsible had
QUITE easy sailing confusing the 'coun :
try with regard to what America
should and should not do in connection
with the Versailles treaty. 1t was no
trouble whatever to point out the mis-
takes that were made, because the
critics were not responsible; but Of
fering a satisfactory correction of those
mistakes was. quite another matter.
It will be remembered that during
the campaign, Mr.. Harding, though not
satisfied with what had been done
was very careful about the extent 10
which he was willing to commit him.
self as to what he was going to do lie
very we'll understood the terribly seri-
Gus nature Of the problem with Wrlch
he had to deal.
Senator Hiram Johnson, a dsap-
pointed candidate for the presidential
nomination had no responsibility on
him during the campaign and having
a crouch anyway took pleasure IN
keeping the situation muddled as much
as possible.
The immediate issue Of the cam
naicn of course was not so much the
acceptance or rejection of the league
Of nations with the treaty Of Versailles
as the control Of the administration by
the Republicans or Democrats. John-
son understood that perfectly; but
since it was not Johnson who was to
head the administration, he seemed 10
take a; malicious delight in making en-
barrassment.
Now that Mr.. Harding has both au-
thority and responsibility, he IS trying
to untangle the situation as he hnds II
as best he can. regardless Of the peo-
ple who would mix him up, and II ne
finds it best for the country to go on
with the doing Of things Whlch ne
criticised while the responsibility was
on the other fellow, he would DE very
foolish not to do those things.
Some day, maybe, the people VIII
find that there is very little in politics
except the desire of the outs TO get IN
and the desire Of the ms to keep them
selves in.
