The Loyal President
(BoSton Post)


President Harding is not shaken
by the demand of the American
Legion for the retirement Of his old
family physician, General Sawyer, as
head of the Federal Board of Hos
pitalzation. He makes very evident
his determination not only not to
Dust the general, but also to accept
full responsibility for any conduct of
the board that the soldiers do not
like If there has been any failure,
the President takes it upon his own
Shoulders.
This loyalty to old friends, which
Mr.. Harding is now known to pos
sess in fine measure, is a trait that
the people like, even if it sometimes
"goes it blind" in the matter of CON
doning inefficiency. We do not say
that such is die case just now, but it
is clear that General Sawyers neces-
sary lack of attention to the work of
the disqualification Board of late
cannot be for the best interests of
that body. If the President can see
20 it that the generals work become
little more intensive, his steadfast-
ness to a friend may be excused.

to be insisted on in our international
relations. There is need enough OF
it as everyone knows. Right now
our government is trying through a
conference of the Central American
countries to bring about Limitation
of armament and methods Of arbitra-
ton of disputes. We have not asked
and do not want any European or
Asiatic country sitting and voting at
that conference.
This situation is not exactly COM
parable with the situation in Turkey
but there is similarity not 20 be
overlooked IL we are to appraise cor
rectly the effect of interference on
our part in the settlement of Turkeys
status. In the first place we are ard
have been at peace with Turkey. so
far as a declaration Of war was con-
cerned. Turkey was at war with the
other nations, the representatives of
which are to go into conference at
Lausanne, and peace has not yet
been established, this conference
being for that purpose. OF course
we have an interest in that settle
ment. This is greater than England,
France or Italy might have in settle
ment of a dispute in Central America,
but the principle is much the same.
1t is one in which the neighborhood,
the AUDITORS have most concern and
our concern is that the settlement
be a fair one. Moreover there is no
likelihood that if we insisted on
taking active part we could assist;
on the contrary the inference natu-
rally is that we would middle it.
We should have an observer there,
be permitted to know just what the
settlement may mean.
The most effective representation
we possibly could have at that con-
ference is an assurance of what we
consider the right thing to be done,
a statement of the rights we have
involved and what we will insist on
being done to protect them. Secre-
tary Hughes has already declared
that American policy demanded free
dom of the Straits and adequate
protection of racial and religious
minorities in Turkish territory. That
cannot be brought about in a minute
but we will do well to note that a
demand has been made and it is not
the habit of the American govern
ment to make demands without being
resolved to back them up.
By the way, are there among those
who are asking us to scrap our navy
regardless of other nations, voting
in Congress to keep down our army
below limits which men like General
Pershing declare are necessary if we
are to make it an effective police
force for this country, are any of
those persons also asking that Uncle
Sam roll up his sleeves and go over
and lick the stufiing out of the Sick
Man of Europe" and any others in
clined to take his part?

by Mrs. Edward w. Knudson, 1856
Washington Ave-, Portland, Me. Mrs.

trouble in its worst form but was
completely restored to health by

'For long time 1 was in a miser-
ably rundown condition, due to
stomach trouble, nervousness, head
aches and inability to sleep. But I
am now like my former self once
more, for thanks to Tanlac, / am free

THE AGRICULTURAL SITUATION

Agitation respecting the conditions
under which our farmers are LABOR
ing should. we believe, be welcomed
In that way it is reasonable to ex-
pect improvement to come. On the
other hand any misapprehensions
connected with this agitation should
be corrected The frank statement
by Commissioner Washburn should
do this.
He finds the Maine farmer just at
this time, what with poor crops and
prices. laboring under disadvantages
and greatly in need of cooperation.
That rather than conversation is the
great need, better marketing meth
DDS, storage facilities which would
enable the farms of Maine to furnish
a regular supply to Maine consum-
ers. who now are compelled to go
outside the State for supplies, some
of which originally came from Maine
He finds that instead of 10000 idle
FARMS there are not over 1000; that
some of the farms ought to be aban-
doned, that land valuable for pur-
poses of agriculture ought to be in
demand and that the prospect is that
it will be as the advantages of land
prices and nearness to big markets
come to be better appreciated.
There are few tenant farmers in
Maine, gratifying fact. The Maine
farmer maintains high standard of
living and Mr.. Washburn rightly con-
cludes it is not wholly problem OF
acreage under cultivation but rather
the prosperity and contentment of
those who are farming. And while
not helittling the gravity of the stu
atom he sees that the conditions OF
which the farmer is complaining are
by no means confined to the farmers
of Maine. Make the conditions bet
ter for those tilling the soil without
worrying over the Improbable farms.
He finds that those states in which
the agricultural producers have Sc
cured cooperation are the states in
which the greatest progress has been
made That we, too, can have if we
will go about it with united effort.

George S. Rowell of Portland and
his library is the subject to which
the Portland Sunday Telegram of
Oct. % devoted several columns.
or his collection of Napoleonic books

rcsents the accumulation Of nearly
half a century. 1t is chosen with
care, discrimination and real knowl-
edge of the value of the volumes and
portraits which make it up. There
are few collections which equal it.
Mr.. Rowell was a Hallowell boy and,
quoting from the Telegram, he was
"for forty years newspaper man in
Portland, and Tor the latter part of
his career a justly famous editorial
writer on the Advertiser" Since re-
firing from his profession he has had
leisure to travel and to indulge in his
fondness for books. "The result OF
these literary adventurings of his has
been to produce a genuine savant:
mild hammered, cultured, charming,
who knows books and authors as few
Maine men, or, for that matter. few
men in any part of the country can
! know them"
