A MAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE

THE announcement from Washington that
President Harding Is prepared to take
over the operation Of the railroads and the
coal mines il those now responsible for sup
plying fuel and uninterrupted transportation
fail to do their duty has relieved the mind Of
the country as nothing else has done for
years
II is evidence that there Is a man In the
White House who will not shirk single
obligation Of his great Office. He is the
President Of the United States charged with
preventing the breakdown of government
He has clearly decided that he will not
permit government to break down. He has
been patient and long suffering with the
men engaged in the industrial disputes. He
has used his good Offices to bring the dis
putants together. He has hoped that
conciliatory disposition and an appeal to the
good faith of all parties might be sufficient
to settle the troubles.
But he has been met by the refusal of both
employees and employers to accept his plan Of
conciliation.
And now has come the announcement that
the President is not going to permit an In
dustria dispute to interrupt the business or
the whole country. lie insists hc has the
power TO prevent it and that he will exer-
else it,
Mr.. Harding IS neither boaster nor
blustcrer Therefore any one who thinks
that the intimation that he will take over
the coal mines and the railroads is mere
talk is laboring under mistaken view Of
the President. The thing will be done IL
the crisis does not pass soon.
And if it is DONE it will be done with Il
thoroughncss which will leave no one in
doubt about the authority of the National
Government or about the determined rur-
poses OF the man in the Whit" House. Nor
will there be any dow5t about the fact that
he will be universally supported by the
great mass and weight of public opinion.
which has only been waiting for such sign
Of leadership to rally behind Mr.. Harding.
