rem Gamaliel Harding. Intense 10y
friend Warren Gamaliel Harding
has some strikes that bother him
and he calls for Lasker, and Lasker
would walk all the way in bare
feet to hep him out. When War.
rem Gamaliel Harding gets through
being President, Lasker will walk
for him just the same. Lasker
knew little about trade unions. But
he knew little about ships. And
once he knew little about breakfast
foods and baseball. But he got rich
through being able to learn lot
about things like breakfast foods
fast and he repidly became highly
efficient baseball magnate and he
mastered the essentials OF shipping
in a few months.
II our strike leaders will only
keep their strikes going little while
longer, Lasker will know a lot about
trade unions. He has furious
speed of mind and also OF language.
He talks so fast that his words get
into a traffic jam and he has 10
stop to let them untangie them
selves. He sees fast. acts fast, 10
very emphatic, is very insistent, is
highly emotional and goes true TO
his affections for his friends.
Hoover. Secretary OF Commerce.
Goes around trying to introduce rea'
sonableness into peoples passions
Wants the Bolshevik in Russia to he
reasonable and wants the railroad
magnates and railroad strikers for
heavens sake to be reasonable.
Knows more about the facts Of the
coaf strike and the railroad strike
than anybody else. Is as statistical
as Lasker Is temperamental. Lived
for years in London and came back
talking with a strong American &c.
cent. Does not yield to his surround
ings. Is always an engineer yield
ing only to the data In the blue
prints. Has just added some $4,000
books to the library OF 100000 books
which he has given to Leiand-Stan-
ford University. Among these new
books is the diary Of the late Car.
Hoover is for knowledge. Also he is
shy and sensitive. Also he is panied
IL people are suffering. He is very
sympathetic to suffering-and very
studious about it. He thinks that
the way to the worlds happiness is
through applying the results Of
study, knowledge, engineering.
science. He is the Administration s
benevolent scientist for strikes.
Pepper. Senator from Pennsyl.
vania. Lasker being business. and
Hoover being science. Pepper is law
and Latin and all the rest Of the
liberal learning Of the older classical
education. He has labored much
lately with coal operators. He came
to Washington first to enlist in the
fight against the covenant Of the
League of Nations. He was totally
| unknown to the leaders Of that
fight. In two hours with them he
established himself as one of Wash
| ington's masters of argument. In
his law office in Philadelphia he has
a sort Of cooperative sharing plan
4 for all employees. He Is very reli-
gious and has a strong sense Of his
obligations to those about him. He
upset his whole life and re.arranged
It in town and in country in order
to give a great deal of his own time
to the education of his children. He
is conscientious, cultivated, familiar
with all old ideas, ready to consider
new ones. Probably Washington
never at any time has had a man
with a mind more thoroughly train
ed. One of Washington's leading
questions now is: VIII Pepper carry
his talents to the service Of the Old
Guard or will he carry them toward
progressivism? This question is not
yet answered.
