One New Year Happily Over.

nY NOW President Harding's good right hand
II (and that of his universally popular help
mcct) will have sufficiently recovered from
several thousand feelings to inditc the Executive
signature with its Furnishings unmarried. His left
hand, upon which he forced to place reliance
during the latter part of the New Year reception,
is surely again i'll shape.
Doubtless, Mr.. Harding about this time, de-
spite his unfegned democracy, Tor should it be
rather 'republicanism"? set down a few thoughts
on shaking $500 sets of digits in afternoon
that would not to enhance his popularity with
the millions who have frankly waived their Consti-

But Mr.. Harding, OF course will do nothing OF the
kind, so, in the name of humanity and mercy, the
press may come to the front with few remarks
upon the famed reception as an institution

real Americanism in a Presidential candidate
holding hand shaking bees on tour, for many OF
those persons who hear him speak may never see
him again. We Westinghouse, on the other hand,
have the presence of the Chief Executive with us
during nearly the whole of the ncumbency.
If the New Year ceremony entailed less per-
sonal contact, if it merely throwing open Of
the doors, one would be justified in raising a
voice against it. But there is real discomfort in it
for the President and the First Lady.
Some other form of levee should be ordained.

Have Faith in the System.

THE budget system devised to curta

Calls Letter Unfair.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
The letter of J. w. Ingram TO the
Open Court and published January
5 Is decidedly refreshing. In IL /
cannot find one argument to sup
port his contention that prohibit
ton is here to stay. But his let
ter naively labels him a "reformer."
for "reformers" do not bother with
such unimportant things as argu-
ments and facts to support their
theories. 1t is enough to call
everyone who does not agree with
them. those too bull-headed to ad-
nit defeat. or those whose judE-
ment is biased by either the long
ing for or the profit in distributing
drink" 1t is enough to impugn
the honesty of our duly elected
government officials by writing
Let honesty and justice take the
place OF politics in appointing these
enforcement officers ." 1t is
enough to accuse prohibition Off
GERS of being derelict in their duty
by saying. Prohibition would long
since have been absolutely prohibit
tive had none but dry officers been
appointed to enforce the Volstead
act" Why waste time to present
facts when one can call names?
/ am sure that the average tax
payer would feel extremely happy
to hear that Congress must and
will appropriate money sufficient to
enforce the present prohibition
laws. be it 100000 or $1,000. 900
O0o. for prohibition is cheap at any
price" How much does Congress
intend to spend to prohibit muir
der or arson? Why pick on pro-
hibition? Is drinking SO much
worse than these?
How our new friend, the gentle
h"otlegger. must smile 10 read that
there is much less Illicit drink
made and sold than before prohibi-
ton" I credit them with the aver
age sense of humor.
Altogether I think that Mr.. In
gram sent his letter to the wrong
paper-he must have meant to send
it to Puck"

Christianity Greater Than
"Days."
To the Editor. The Washington Herald:

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
"Americus." the two Meyers. and
c. S. Longacre. contributors to
your open Court" empha size
days" two Of them the first day of
the week Sabbath, and two of them
the seventh day Sabbath. On read
ing the lengthy epistles of these
correspondents, the conviction for
ccs itself on me that to these men
days" are important elements of
Christianity. Not So did Paul, the
great apostle to the Gentiles,' be-
lievc. He thus sets forth the truth
on this question: "One man observ-
eth one day; another man obsery-
eth another. Let a man be fully
persuaded in his own mind. He
who observeth the day, to the Lord
he observeth it; he who observeth
not the day. to the Lord he doth
not observe it," To force the first
day man. the seventh day man, or
the no-day man, to observe a day
to which his mind does not give as
sent, is contrary to the Christian
ity of the Son of God.
When Jesus tabernac!ed in tie
flesh, his heels were logged by the
men of days" This man keepeth
not the Sabbath; therefore he is not
of God" rang in his ears. the
charge hurled at him by the
Scribes and Pharisees. the illegal
lists" of his time. Because Jesus
made the man more than the day.
from that time forth they sought
TO kill him" And the men who
made much of days" stopped not
in their opposition to the Man of
God until they nailed him to the
Cross. This was the logical ending
of legalism. which deifed a day.
Paul, In the fourth chapter of his
epistle to the Hebrews, sets forth
very ccncisely that the rest" OF
Christianity Is not the rest of q
day; It is a rest infinitely greater
than that. 1t is soul rest: "A res,

the work finished" on the Cross

passage of responsibility to the executive branch
of the government for workmanlike planning OF
the nations business, with sensible provisions for
coordination and efficiency, and (7) the backing
up of the executive plans if they are good. Con-
gress might be wise to amend budget items in
large way and to disapprove fiscal policies pro-
posed by the executive which did not accord with
its judgment its sense of the will Of the people.
But the overriding of subitems. the making OF
petty changes, the arbitrary bue-pencing of care
fully considered plans of the executive departments
such textual criticisms by Congress seem to be
of bad judgment.
And this, according to early reports, is just
what the Appropriations Committee has under
taken to do"
