HARDING TRUSTING

Considers Return of Men, Re

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3 Copy
right Harding's dilemma
in the rail strikes brings a climax in
his influence and leadership. Not
merely those interested directly in in
dustrial controversies but all who sec
in the immediate future a test of Mr..
Harding's whole Administration with
respect to Congress are watching the
Chief Executives every move.
Mr.. Harding is by nature a peace
maker patient and tolerant. He is
disappointed that the spirit of COM
promise doesn't rervade disputants az
does HIS whole philosophy OF Iite
Force and violence may temporarily
triumph. but in the end they defeat
their own subjects-so reasons Mr.
Harding.
With all that has happened since
1914 to vindicate principles vital to
civilization, there is an acknowledged
feeling Of regret that the S>oice of
reason didn't stay the hand of pas
sion and prevent the great war
Somebody has to compromise unless a
war is fought to a finish and the
staggering burdens of the world to-
day cause very little qualification
anywhere. Will the industrial crisis
be war to a finish and leave the
public vanquished and both sides
injured?
Mr.. Harding's appeal to the rail-
road executives was based on the idea
of saving the American people from
further damage by n compromise
which might be distasteful to both
parties to the dispute but would pre-
vent suffering to the greatest num-
Der.
Now the President is faced with the
necessity of taking a step further in
this same line of reasoning. Threats
that he will take over the railroads
at this time are mere conjecture. Mr..
Harding remembers the war adminis-
tration of railroads and the price the
country paid in taxes thereafter.

SCOUTS WIN PRAISE

At the Kansas City convention Of
the American Legion a thousand or
more boy scouts from the two Kansas
cities and from Independence, No..
acted as police for the big parade,
which attracted the biggest crowds in
the history of the city, and so splendid
ly did they do the Job that the papers
wrote them up almost as enthusiast
tically as they did the Legion itself,
ton Of thanks as well as passing a
general resolution indorsing the move
ment and urging Legionnaires to be-
come scout leaders.
Fifty picked scouts from different
troops served as an escort to diStin-
guished visitors, a staff of aides to
the chief of police and as ushers to
the reviewing stand. Nine of the fifty
were Eagles. Every day of the con-
vention 20 scouts acted as aides,
ushers, and runners; rs boys every
day acted as traffic aides and had
charge, under their leaders, of parking
thousands of automobiles; 80 boys
were on duty every day In the various
Information booths scattered through
out the city, and carried on a regular
communication service between the
booths.
Another interesting good turn was
the drawing by Eagle Scout James N.
Pickering of the map Of the city, a
hundred thousand Of which were
printed and distributed among the Wis
itors and delegates.
"An In ALL" says Scout Executive
Wright, in speaking of the event, 'the
boy scouts rendered a good piece of
service" According to others the
service was more than good. 1t was
great.

WHY BE A SCOUT?

"Stew Judkins," first-class scout OF
Topeka, Kan, knows why he is a scout,
and makes no bones of telling the
world, either. The following state
ment appeared in a local paper under
his signature:
81 am a boy scout because like to
be one. The longer I am a scout the
better I like it. A scout learns things
and has a pile of fun learning them.
You know how a regular guy likes a
good swim, good hike, fussing
around the woods, honest-to-goodness
boy games, snagging a few fish and
then eats them until he busts. That's
what you get at a boy scout camp, and
you amt going to blame me for liking
to be boy scout. To be a regular
guy in this game, you got to play and
live according to the rules. You sure
find out what kind Of guy a kid is,
and II he isn't what he should be, he
either gets mighty lonesome in a gang
Of scouts or comes across. I'll tell
the world I'm glad to be scout, and
1 know a few hundred other guys In
Topeka who will shoot you the same

PSYCHOLOGY IN GRADING

But efficiency is not the whole OF
life, and it is time that serious thought
were given to something that goes far
beyond the question of the trustworth-
mess of the tests or the immediate
advantage gained by their use, says
the New York Independent. If we are
entering upon regime in which chill
dren are going to be labeled and
graded, not according to what they
know, but according to what, by the
memorable pronouncement Of a self
registering machine, they inherently
are, what is going to be the effect Of
all this upon those children's outlook
on life? 1t is true that, even as things
are, every sensible child has a pretty
sure consciousness Of his own inferior
ity to his more gifted comrades; but
1t is one thing to know this in a gen.
era1 way and quite another to have
that knowledge burned into his con-
sciousness as a scientific and incon-
testable fact, TO say nothing Of its
being stamped upon him as a fatal
brand to be carried through life.
Whatever precautions are taken to dis
guise or conceal the verdict, we may
be quite sure that If, as now promises
to be the case, the scheme Of psyche
logical tests is to be made a funda-
mental part of our educational system,
its results will be no secret to the
individual child most concerned, nor
to those with whom he is most closely
associated.

Governor Edwards has vetoed the
anti-cat bill, and there is said to be O
doubt whether it can be repassed over
the veto. There are honest differences
Of opinion as to the value of the. cat,
says the Trenton Times While Il IL
undoubtedly true that thousands Of
birds and small game animals are
killed every year by vagrant and pet
cats, it is equally true that Tom and
Tabby also kill thousands of rats,
mice, moles and other vermin that
would destroy millions of dollars
worth of farm crops. In the cities the
cat is a great nuisance to many per-
sons, but even there they render an
important service, as many a merchant
and family will testify. Perhaps the
toll he takes in song birds, English
sparrows and squirrels is no more than
his due, and there are men and women
who object to the presence of the bird.
Since rats and mice are known to be
disease carriers, the evidence appears
to be in favor of the cat.
