HARDING AND SECOND TERM.

Nothing could be much more futile
than the discussion which is going on
concerning President Harding's fu-
ture. There is time for everything
and this is manifestly not Ahe time TO
pass upon the question of the Presl-
dental succession. But some of the
Washington correspondents have been
sending out stories which give the Inn
preston that Mr.. Harding has found
his office so difficult that he will be
glad to quit at the end of his first
term.
This fanciful tale has evidently been
constructed from a chance sentence
in his recent speech at Marion in
which he said he would be glad when
the time came for him to rejoin the
home folks again. That was a
natural thing to say, especially for
Mr.. Harding, who is noted for his
neighborly feeling. But it is absurd
to take II as meaning that he longs
to quit the Presidency
However. the story has persisted
to such an extent that Attorney Gem
eral Daugherty feels called upon to
declare that President Harding's can
didacy for a second term has not vet
been given any consideration. He
quotes the President as saying: IF
the administration succeeds, nothing
can stop succession, and If 1t fails 1t
ought to be succeeded by another"
That puts the case in nutshell.

rather similar when he was asked if
he would be candidate for the Demo-

protest Of any account was made

1t remained for brewer. Busch Of
st. IouA, to bring this astounding
situation to public notice and stir
the~AEencies Of justice to percmptory
action. He was passenger on a
Shipping Board vessel from Europe
and noticed the open sales OF intoxi-
eating liquor. He made his observa-
tions public In a revealing letter, in
which was made the sarcastic COM
ment that "Uncle Sam was the big
gest bootlegser in the world"
1t was this scathing rldicule that
spurred the authorities TO action, and
soon came Attorney General Daugh-
erty's ruling that these liquor sales
were In violation OF the law. His
opinion was sustained by the decision
or n Federal judge. Uncle Sam will
have to get out OF tho "bootlegging
business" at least until tho matter
ut issue has been further considered
and possibly determined by n deci-
sion OF the Supreme Court.

first and not third class men. In the
old days of hazing the taking down or

upper classes were supposed to be

or discourage hazing. the ''plebes" are

men have access. 1t was hoped that
the arrangement would be notic6 to all

since he assumed command. Two

men were dismissed for tormenting

vigor that restrictions were imposed
