But at bottom Senator Ware is seek
ing strength for his own spirit. He is
feeling around for n place for his feet. He
would show the people that he knows how
to serve them. He would prove that he
has a firm and intelligent grasp of affairs.
that he is equal to the political requirements
of time of uncertainty and stress.
Are the times out of joint. Are public
affairs in confusion? Is injustice being done
anywhere? Are we forgetting our patriot
ism? Are people restless about coal and
the tariff and taxes and the inepttudes of
public officials and the waste of money and
the dangers Of renewed mlitarism and the
state of our foreign relations and the talk of
war to come? Any good political leader,
trained in the rules Of factionalism, knows
what to do under such circumstances and,
moreover. he will have the courage of his
convictions. lie will trot out his march
ing club, put on his high hat, order his
band to play the good old tunes of the
political past and then all will be well and
peace and contcntmcnt will reign once more
throughout the land.

PEPPER ON THE SENATE

CENATOR PEPPER, being a new arrival
- in Washington, may be able to view his
colleagues and the system In which they
function with an unspoi!ed and unprejudiced
eve. II is only fair TO assume that he can
discern at the Capitol many small virtues
and nobilities which the faraway public
cannot see.
His formal defense Of the Senate and his
suggestion that It IS too often criticized
carries a note OF fine chivalry. And yet it
does not carry conviction 10 public which
has some reasons to feel that If 1t didn't
shout and throw an occasional verbal brick
It would be forgotten altogether in the upper
house.
Mr.. Pepper will have to talk often and
eloaucntly to convince the people of the
United States that their Senate is n sensi-
tive, great hearted and sadly misunderstood
body of men. One of the traditional duties
of the electorate in the United States is to
remind these sageS that there u q President

everSthing else when he was preparing his

Whlch are occupying the attention Of the
country. The people want to know how the

ing ont OF the war that have not been an
swercd, but there are questions arising out
OF the development of the country that still

ton OF enforcement of the prohbitory laws.
Mr.. Harding is evidently deeply concerned
over the domestic situation, rs he may well
he. And his message indicates that he has
thought TO some purpose.
The two points in his address which will
attract most attention are those made in
connection with his discussion of the rail-
road problem and the problem of the en-
forcement of the Eighteenth Amendment TO
the Constitution.
lie has couragrously put himself on the
SID" OF rigid enforcement Of the amend
mcnt. There is no doubt whatever that the
widespread disregard of that amendment by
reputable citizens is having n demoraizng

THE HOLMESBURG INQUIRY
UP TO THE GRAND JURY
a Prima-Facie Case of Abuses Is So
Clear That the Court Has Been Com
PEELED to Order an Investigation

lGE Al DENRlED pursued the correct
course In charging the Grand Jury to
inv"stigat" The conditions in the ITolmcsburr
prison. Tho charges made to the inyesti.
gators "f this newspaper which have led the
Judg" +" order the inquiry arc what is
known in law rs cx par'c statements. That
Is. they arc statements Of only ono side of
tho case.
Th"r" is supposed to be another side which
has not yet been heard Dr. Reeves, the
president Of the Prison Inspectors. has not
stated it in his comments on the dis
closures. lie has admitted many Of the
charges and has defended tho prison man
agemCnt.
Judge Audcnrlcd, however. who is accus.
toned TO hearing both sides of case before
he reaches a decision. has instructed the
Grand Jury to summon witnesses and to
get their sworn testimony in order that the
truth may hc discovered, whatever II may
be. In referring to the inquiry made by
this newspaper he remarks that no private
Investigators have the power to command
this sworn testimony. And he adds: Il
have no doubt that the writer's Of these
newspaper articles are animated Ivy the
highest purposes and that their agitation of
the subject is intended only for the ad-
vanCcmont Of the causes of humanity and
the publi" welfare. It can result only in
good, whether the information is correct or
not" He could not have stated the pur-
poses of this newspaper in better terms.
But the wholesome thing IS that the Judge
himself admits that the ex parte statements
charge the existence of condition of affairs
which, if proved by sworn testimony. .is
srandaous and must be corrected. That is
all that any one cOlf,d ask for.
