out in the heat, and as we owed

Helen up and asked her to go

friends returned in the fall, so
would be with her now as much
as possible.
We started early, and planned
to lunch down town. We went
directly to the cretonnes, and [
selected and had cut all l need
ed. l then bought the fringes and
gimp to match. The bill came to
about twenty eight dollars,
Charge it to Mrs, Thomas
Randall please" l said to the
clerk and gave him the new adj
! dress. We then started to look
at dotted swiss for the inside
draperies in the same department..
In moment the man who had

to me and said:

discontinued, Mrs. Randall. Shall

you wish to pay for them?"

the account. We have just moved,
and you probably have us mixed

turning to Helen: did you ever

take Helen replied. but | no.

her face as she said ii,
"Of course there isl" and
went on selecting the swiss, and
the other things | needed at that

have such stupid things happen.
Presently the cretonne clerk
returned.
Excuse me madame, but Mr..
Randall stopped the account

The Veto Vetoed.

Rarely. if ever. has measure been
passed over the. veto Of the President
with such emphasis as the Army re-
duction bill, which. disapproved by
the executive on Saturday, was re-
passed by the House that same even
ing 271 to 16, and by the Senate Mon
day afternoon by a vote of 81 to /.
This virtual unanimity of both houses
is a strongly emphatic evidence Of
the determination of Congress to bring
the armed forces of the United States
as quickly as possible to normal and
to prevent their recruiting upon an
approximation of the war basis.
The figure at which the bill was
passed. 10000 troops, was a compro-
mise. There are those who wished
10000 as the limit, and others who
wanted to cut to 10000. In the
judgment of the Army chiefs It's, 1000
was the safest minimum that could
be established. In view of the diff

agreed upon it was we'll assured that

ceived. but few expected 80 over.

Smoking Up.

Not very long ago attention was
called to certain peculiar phenomena
that had been reported from various
parts of this country, indicating the
prevalence of internal strains and the
possibility Of some violent manifes-
tation in the near future. Now come
further indications that, as the North
Carolina farmer said when the earth
emitted strange sounds and gave a
seismic gulp or two, There's some
thing dom down there" Three of

such fuss that tourists have stopped

cussion with his callers in Florida.
And those callers have represented

Probably no man selected for our
chief command ever took such pains
prior to assuming his duties to sound
public sentiment in Responsible quar-
tiers about the issues he is to deal with
in office.
But large and varied as that stock
of information is. il is none too large.
Mr.. Harding will need all of it. His
task is colossal. Expectation is high.
The people are FESTIVE under their
burdens. and want them lightened.
Maybe they want them hghtened
more rapidly than the thing can be
done Mr.. Harding is not. and does
not claim to be. a miracle man. He
was particular in his campaign last
fall to disclaim any powers but those
associable with normal things and
processes. He pledged himself no
further than to devote the powers he
possessed to the public interests.
This should be remembered now
In fact. the people owe it as much
to themselves as to him not to in
crease either the size or the difficult
ties of his task-not to meet him on
the threshold of his engagement with
impossible demands. or in spirit of
impatience the effect of which would
be his annoyance. and maybe confu-

The New York Police-Auto Graft.

general named by the governor. facts
are being uncovered regarding the
connection of the police with motor
thefts that indicate Il we'll organized
liaisOn. Several thousand cars We're
stolen last year and reported to the
police. A large percentage of these
were recovered and restored to the
owners, and in practically all cases
the police were rewarded" Not a
single conviction. however, was had
for auto stealing. What is the an
swer?
The average person who loses Il
motor ear is satisfied if he gets his
machine back. He is willing tn pay
something for its return. and he is
not particular who gets the reward
the New York police seem to he per
fectly well aware of this fact. and it
is alleged that an immense amount
of money has changed hands in con
sequence. 1t is even charged that
the so-called theftS of machines are
scheduled and that policemen know
of stolen cars even before the owners
report. If all that is Indicated by
testimony already taken is true the
motor thieves themselves do the re-
porting.

of another one of the periodical

of Congress. This is unfortunate.
There should be an enactment Great
ing a traffic court. with ample facil-
tiles for the enforcement of the regu-
lations, and particularly with pro-
visions for the proper examination OF
applicants for motor licenses. The
licensing system today is travesty.
There is no security whatever for the
public in the manner in which these
official permits to drive machines are
issued A few licenses are revoked,

in Washington today who should be
denied the right to operate these dan

House Methods.

Mr.. Cannon doubts if stripping the
Speaker of the House of all power
and leaving him as only the presid-
ing officer of that body has secured
better results than were obtained I'M
der the old order.
The doubt is not new 1t has been
entertained and expressed by others
But as expressed by Mr.. Cannon on
the floor of the House in debate it
may lead to formal consideration and
some sort of action.
Mr.. Cannon was the last Speaker
under the old order. The change grew
out of a revolt against his admins
tration of the office.
Mr.. Clark was the first Speaker
under the new order. Well qualified
by ability and experience to direct
business under the old order. he was
yet during his four terms in the chair
only the presiding officer of the House
His party did not draw upon him
for suggestions as to measures or
methods.
Upon resuming control two years
ago, the republicans adopted the
change the democrats had made Mr.
Gillett has been invested with no
greater power than that of parlia-
mentarian, although qualified as Mr.
Clark was, for work of far more i'm
portance.
Mr.. Cannon predicts return to
the old order-a restoration to the
Speaker of some of the power at least
he once welded. He fixes no time
for the change. but thinks a change
necessary in the interests of public
business.
The point is worth discussing, even
If a change is not made in time to
affect the next House. The business
of Congress is now so great of bulk
and so certain to increase in size, the
very best methods of transacting it
should engage the attention of those
responsible for results.

Motor Accidents Renewed.

II any lessons Were taught during
the NO Accident week" recently OBJ
served in this city, they have been
quickly forgotten by many of the peo-
pie using the streets. Carelessness is
evident in the streets on the part of
both pedestrians and motorists. Deaths
are being caused. Within forty.eight
hours two have occurred. One was
that of little boy crushed by wildly
run machine in front Of his own

these two fatalities occurred a child

The Office of National Chairman.

If the anti-Cox faction of the demo
cratic national committee triumphs,
who will succeed Mr.. White in the
committees craftsmanship?
Both of the leading parties have
come TO put a high value on commit
tee work. and to search for high talent
to conduct it.
Homer Cummings is an orator as
well as organizer, and received sig
nal honor when selected to sound the
keynote at the San Francisco conven-
ton He might have had the demo-
senator in Connecticut last year. He
participated in the campaign as a
speaker, and had some excellent as
signments.
and organizer. He might have had
the republican nomination for Gov
ernor of Indiana last year. and has
been mentioned in connection with
the senatorial race scheduled for next
year. He is slated in popular belief
for the postmaster generalship. He
ranks among the national leaders of
his party.
George White, who has been men,
Der of Congress, is said to be slated
for the democratic nomination for
Governor of Ohio at the next trial Of
conclusions IL the Cox people control
the convention. He has large means,
likes politics. and plays the game with
energy. as he showed last year.
According to the latest standard,
therefore, if Mr.. White is to have
successor now he should be a man
Of consequence in his party. Of inf1u-
ence at home, and associable with his
party's highest rewards. Merely a
routine man would hardly fill the bill.

In winter the world turns to slumber
The wind sings weary refrain,
And the hours we impatiently number
Till summer shall blossom again.

Where sunbeam is smiling so gay
He smiles in the midst of his sleeping.
The old world is dreaming Of May
Dreams Of perfumes ascending;
Dreams of songs that arise
In harmony exquisite blending,
and waited afar to the skies.
The Storm King with merciless fingers
Hangs curtains of darkest dismay,
But the sunlight somehow always
