WASHINGTON, June 27-President
Harding has found it necessary to APP
ply the executive accelerator to CON
gress. He has been reluctant to follow

in the footsteps of other presidents who
drove congress with a firm hand, and
he has resented the suggestion that he
should dictate to both houses. But,
after a lapse of two months and a half
it has become apparent that the extra
session of congress will be fruitless UNI
less the executive forgets his oft-ex
pressed ideas about the complete sep
aratlon OF the functions OF the eXecu-
tive and legislative branches of the
government and accept the role of party
leader, which made it possible for Pres
idents Roosevelt and Wilson to get re-
suits in the congress, and which Presi
dent Taft subsequently admitted that
he, too, should have done early III his
administration.
Like Beginning of Taft Regime.
The situation today is stTikingly par-I
allel to that which existed few
months after Mr.. Taft was inaugurated.
Congress was then led by Messrs Al
drich and Cannon, who mad pronounced
views on the tariff, with which Mr.. Taft
felt hesitant to take issue. There are
no two leaders i'm congress who WELD as
much power as Aldrich and Cannon, but
in their places have arisen strong
groups representing class interests. The
danger to Mr.. Hardings legislative pro-
gram lies in the inability OF the Repub-
licam leaders in either house TO ADJUST
the differences between the various
groups The leaders. therefore, are re-
ally anxious for executive help.
So tangled has the situation become
that those Republican leaders who fore
see trouble at the polls year fromI
this fall when the present house is up
for reelection, have discussed among
themselves the advisability of sending
steering committees to the White House
to ask for help Meanwhile, at prac-
ticalIy every meeting of the cabinet, the
hand vigorously and insist that congress

Harding Decides It's Time TO Drive.
Thus the situation has been discussed
without tangible results. Mr.. Harding
has about decided to do little driv-
ing, first, with a gentle hand, and later
with a hrmer application of executive
pressure, If necessary. He realizes that
the possible loss of the congress to
Democrats in the middle of his own
term would mean certain disaster to
to his own political fortunes The inn
patience of the country for action on
Its legislative program has been so pro-
nouneed that it Is not eNaggeration to
say that evidence of real worry over
the political outlook are beginning to
accumulate on every side .Unquestion-
ably, Mr.. Harding will seek to convince
members OF congress that their fortunes
are inseparably bound up with those of
the executive in the common problem
of satisfying the demands made by the
people III the last election for TcstoTa-
ton OF normally.
Thus far the house has proved itself
more responsive to popular feeling than
the senate.
Economy Through Disarmament.
BY slashing military and naval APP
preparations, considerable money has
been saved, which q generous senate
would otherwise have appropriated
There Is an undercmTent of sentiment,
however, in both houses that if some
progress had been MADE on interna
tional disarmament there might have
been an even greater economy. Disar-
mamcnt talk is no longer regarded as
the mutterings of few pacihsts, but
Is seriously looked upon as a matter of
dollars and cents and taxes.
But while both houses have been
# I'll wifi hn lot
which is, after all, a routine matter
no bin has been completed on the
tariff or taxation. Business men who
had hoped To know what the tax rate
would be for next year have been disap-
pointed. Manv businesses have run
their books from July l to July / of
next year. 1t had been contidentialy eX-
pected that congress would at least have
brought the tax bill to the committee
stage by July l, but the bill has not got
accurate idea of Just what kind of a
revenue measure will eventually be
passed.
Trouble Ahead Over Tax Bill.
Judging by the legislative tangles
which have arisen in handling the tar
lift, there will be considerable delay i'm
getting the tax bin through both houses.
Many conflicting interests have shown a
disposition to wranglc about the tariff
but the controversies thus far over the
tariff are not a circumstance compared
to the trouble which - anticipated in
framing new tax bill The chief ex-
ecutive alone win be able to reconcile
differences of opinion And he will do
it largely by executive inSistcncc on
compromise which would otherwise be
refused if offered by congressional
leaders. In other words, congress needs
executive guidance, and Mr.. Harding
has made up his mind To NIL the needs.

Joss Sticks.

Until recently the composition of the
candles known as joss sticks was I'M
known TO most people. A stem ot bain-
boo is rolled in a substance consisting
of fourteen different odOrOus drugs.
One Of these protects the candles from
rats and mice. The caDphor used in
the manufacture causes the joss sticks
to burn steadily.

The FireCracker Nuisance.

During all of last week the small boys
about town INDUCED in amusing them
selves with small sized firecrackers and
other noise making devices calculated for
the Fourth of July celebration. Besides
making fun for themselves they succeed
ed in soaring people and caused the ner-
vous to be afraid to walk the streets.
On Saturday evening several youngsters
amused themselves by dropping the ex
plosives in front of, in and on automobiles
from the overhead railroad bridge. One
of these crackers exploded in the auto
mobile driven by Mr.. Harry Fox.
1t seems to us that exploding fire
cracker in or under car would be quite
dangerous-to too much oil and gas to ig-
mite and blow up the car. Everybody
should try to have a "safe and sane"
celebration Independence Day, but cele-
brating recklessly week or two ahead
of time should not be tolerated anywhere.

Frederick Man Here At
Johns Hopkins.

Ralph Firestone Bowers. of Frederick,
Md, was the real hero of the day at
Homewood, Baltimore, Monday, when
the rs senior undergraduates held class
day exercises on the campus in front of
Gilman Hail. About $50 relatives and
friends attended
Bowers received the highest honorary
awards both from the student body and
the faculty. He was voted the most
popular senior and thus his name will be
engraved upon the honorary Sigma Chi
Beta tablet which is to hang permanent
ly on one of the walls of the students
building.
Bowers also was accorded the highest
rating by Dean John H. Latane, Prof.
John c. French and DR.. Ray Van Orman,
athletic coach, as being the one senior
who has done the most for his college.
The Omicron Delta Kappa silver cup was
presented to him for this honor. Bowers
prestage is due chiefly to his initiative in
organizing an undergraduate band and
orchestra.

Canal Closed Again.

Navigation again has been suspended
on the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, the
third time since the opening of the wat
erway several weeks ago, as the result
of large sandbar forming at Millers
Bend, five miles west of Williamsport,
Md. A boat loaded with coal ran upon
the sandbar and stuck. Eighteen mules
were hitched to the boat. but it could not
be moved until most of the coal was re-
moved. Water has been drawn off the
level and large forces of men were put
to work removing the obstruction.

any signs of real strength.
In the second inning Saturday the locals
went on batting rampage, securing
eight hits and twelve runs. At no time
in the game were there any dangerous
moments. "Huck" Taylor, exBlue Ridge
Lacquer, and Gil" Williar, the brilliant
High School twirler, did the pitching for
Thurmont. Taylor was touched for five
hits, netting as many runs in as many
innings. In the last four innings Williar
allowed two hits, one Il scratch, and only
