4 Glorious Record
(From the New York Tribune).

Congress again this year cut ex-
penditure, but the diminished re-
celpts for the new year will probably
not equal the Treasury's outlay.
There may be a deficit next July
even larger than this July's surplus
However. within the last year the
public debt has been lowered by
$1,014. 100000. OF this amount $422,-
100000 was taken out of ordinary
receipts and allotted to the sinking
fund. The surplus of S313,000, 900
offset that much debt and S277,-
600, 900 has been written off the net
balance in the general fund of the
Treasury. The Secretary has. there
fore, fortified himself in advance
against any deficit occurring this
year in the course OF adjusting re-
ceipts under the new internal tax
law TO the appropriation totals Of
this session.
In the field OF government flnanc-
ing the Republican record to date
has been extraordinary. Most critics
conveniently forget this fundamental
fact when they attack Congress for
blunders and shortcomings. Why not
forget partisanship and give Con-
gress due credit?

One Wise Rail Union Leader
(From the New York Herald)

e. f. Gable. head Of the railroad
workers in the very big maintenance
of way union, is not merely dis
Greet leader; he is a man of vision
His followers took a strike vote, they
committed themselves. subject to the
approval of their leader, to going out
with the shop workers; they ex-
pected to be ordered out. But their
leader did not order them out. On
the contrary, when the striking shop
workers and other union bosses were
putting heavy pressure upon them
10 go out Grabel counseled them TO
stick to their posts and, as a whole,
they are sticking to their posts.
+, F. Cradle had the sense to see
that at a time like this the 800, 900
workers on the tracks, bridges and
other railroad structures could not
possibly win a strike in any thing
more than appearances at best. He
had the Judgment to know that un-
der the present industrial conditions
there were no other jobs to which, If
their strike failed, his followers could
go and be so well off as right where
they were and where, If they We're
willing 10 stay, thew were wanted.
He had the discrimination to realize
that where they were wanted must
be the best place for them when after
long neglect of upkeep work on the
roadbeds in a retrenchment policy
forced upon the carriers by their
lack Of money to pay for it the rail-
roads were just beginning to do such
work at a great burst Of speed.

THE NATIONS
NORMAL PRESIDENT.
From the New York Herald.
In his address at his home town
of Marion, Ohio, President Harding
said "It is hard TO be President and
be natural and normal" But surely
this President of the American peo-
ple's Government, as judged by that
address, with its sympathetic under
standing, simple graces and indefin-
able charm, is 10 less normal and
natural than the average manufac-
turer in his plant, the business man
ager in his office, the man in the
street.

applied the boyhood incident to the
unfolding of his career in Marion,

revealed toward the Herrin mas

scarcely more than a score of words,
Warren c.. Harding, President of the
United States, was the exemplar of
sound, normal, dominant American
ism.
These few words of his upon the

of happiness will go far with the
country because in their very rehec-
ton of the normal, natural Ameri-

guides the nation and which cannot
be made subservieDt to any tyranny
whether of political intrigue and

And il is because the nation as a
whole from its Chief Executive to

shares the solemn realization that
this freedom to work is the most
cherished of all the national rights
and privileges that the country can
agree with the following words Of
President Harding as to the safety
Of the Republic:
II have no fear about the Re-
public. &. . America will go
on. The fundamentals of the
Republic and all its liberties will
be preserved and Government

/ But, more than that, the leader OF

derstood, as his statement shows
that there is always more to be gain
ed for a cause, II II Is good cause,
by going to the authority primarily

secondarily concerned with the
merits of that cause than by going
to war both with that authority and
with that public.
Clearly the leader of the mainte-
nance of way workers believes his
followers have--a. good cause. His
whole public statement radiates his
conviction that the cause of his men
IS so just that all it needs to get vim
dication is to go again before the
very United States Railroad Labor
Board which reduced their wages
and obtain new readjustment.
And 1t is certainty that If the
board erred in the extent OF the wage
reduction 1t ordered for those men
public opinion will call for and the

Editorial Opinion
LET THE COINS ALONE


From the New York Herald.
Secretary Mellon of the Treasury
Department, has courteously but
emphatically refused in a letter 10
the magazine Arts and Decoration,
to become a party to movement,
which has the Endorsement of a
number OF artists, TO remodel the
metal coinage of the United States.
The country is to be congratulated
on Mr.. MELONS stand. Whatever
the artistic merit of the coins now
in circulation may be, they are sat
isfaetory as a medium of exchange,
and it should be remembered that
no designs, though each were a mas
terpiece, would have the indorse-
ment of all the artists. There would
always be a number of men and
women whose ideals would not be
expressed in the designs and who
consequently would be anxious to
revise them.
The coins now in use are dis
tinctive. II they were subject to
easy counterfeiting the Secretary of
the Treasury would know it and
move for a change. They stack,
which is OF importance to those who
handle them. The public is familiar
with them.
