Grafton of these laws has not
been perfect by any means. 1t
is now claimed by members of
the Senate and House that thou

in a1mshouses, asylums and even
jails, and other thousands receiv-
ing private charity.
The problem of caring for the
disabled former service mem is
one that will grow with the years
instead Of subsiding-at least for
the next decade. it is estimated.
The peak load" Of the government
in caring for these men probably
will come around 1882. What has
happened in the past is not infre-
quently good index of what must
be expected in the future. Glance

from 10000 to $4,000, and appli-
cants for vocational training in
stead of numbering 125.000 will
number 100000. 1t is not unlikely
that claims for compensation al
lowed will reach the half billion
mark.
The statement was made recently
by the surgeon general of the pub
lie health service that 10000 addi-
tional beds in hospitals are ur-
gently needed for the care of tu-
bercular and mentally diseased
former service men. This does not
take into account the beds needed
for men suffering from other all
ments. He said that on January l,
1921, there were 1903 disabled ex-
service men under treatment by

Mr.. Harding will speed to the Cap
itol in a car, take the oath, deliver
his inaugural address to stand-up

applauding thousands lining the side
walks. There will be no all-day pro-

cations as of yore, apd in two hours

serving their country in official po-
sition-for consderation-is al

claims. Senators and representatives
who will be supposed to have "in-
f1uence" with the new administration

mail tells them of more in reserve.

William j. Bryan holds that there
are already too many officers and

mild-mannered and placid man, sud-
denly developed into two-fisted

Republicans are not talking much
about policies at this stage of the
proceedings. Their policy will be a
double-track affair administrative
and legislative. 1t will be determined
by the action of President Harding in
international affairs and the record
of the majority in Congress in legis-
lation on domestic questions. In the
more important phases of interna-
tional questions the Senate will have
q voice, and henceforth to far greater
Evening star., 1921-02-13

degree than in the past the Senate
will make itself heard.
Reason can be assigned for this
prospect. In the first place, the con-
test between President Wilson and
the Senate over the treaty of Ver-
sailles is regarded as having sharply
accentuated the Senate's realization
of its functions in treaty making. 1t
has been charged that the submis-
sion of democratic senators to the
will of the executive, in many cases
against their known judgment to the
contrary, furnished a vivid object les
son to the Senate, warning it to be
more jealous of its constitutional
function and prerogative. There was
deep resentment on both sides of the
chamber at the alleged ignoring of
senatorial opinion in the framing of
the treaty, contrary to recent prece-
dent, although by some democratic
senators expression of it was re-
strained for party reasons.
4 X **
Will Harding freely take the Senate
into his confidence in approaching the
international agreement which he and
his party are pledged to undertake?
The belief among republican senators
is unanimously in the affirmative. that
he will. Moreover. 1t is prophesied
that he will also consult democratic
opinion as he goes along, at least to
the extent of welcoming it's express
sion upon the plans as they take form
President Harding will have this
advantage, it is pointed out; he is
fortunate to possess the personal ac-
quaintance of the present member

as well. and moreover has the friend

with whom he has served.

suggestion that, as so many former
democrats voted for him in Novem-
Der. he might well give democrats a
little recognition" in administering
the government.
That is regarded as a monstrous
suggestion by the famished repub-
licans, who fear there will not be
enough patronage to "go round" as
it is, and the mere broaching of it
throws republican senators and rep
resentatives into a rage.

The most interesting feature in ma
tional politics Is the manifestation of
returning consciousness by the demo-
Gratis since the political heavens
crashed down on them in November.
Strangely enough-or, is it, as some
democrats say. just true to form
their first evidence of recovery from
