party. The Democrats are being ac-
cused Of trying to hold up the bill
until late in the summer so that they
may secure further political advan-
tages out of the Republican delays.
Commenting on this charge, the con-
servative Evening Star, of Washing
ton, says: We'll, hat is the rule
when the tariff is under revision.
Both parties have played the game.
The Democrats played it again the Nc
Kinley revision and won; the Republi-
cans against the GOrman-Wilson re-
vision, and won"
from the league of nations at Genoa
frankly state that the responses re-
ceived by the league from the ma
lions of Europe asking them to dis
arm, or limit their ornaments, have
been unavailing. The only outstand-
ing exception to what league circles
call the general refusal of the world
to disarm was the Washington confer
ence. The league has therefore
perhaps rather Reluctantly arrived at
the conclusion that Americas great
influence, morally, commercially and
financially, throughout the world,
would compel the nations to reduce
their ornaments, when efforts of the
league would fail. Thus we are told
that the moral force Of the league is
insufficient to put it's program, or it's
ideals into force. What interests, or
factors exist in the European nations
to prevent the reduction Of arma-
ments is not discussed. The world
is simply asked to believe that Ame-
lea alone holds the power to bring
about disarmament.
Congress is furnishing the depart
ment Of justice with a special fund Of
$500, 900 to be used in going after war
grafters. The attorney general in
vited many Of the leading attorneys
Of the country into his fraud cabinet"

the prosecutions. The answers, de-
clined with thanks" phOned in SO
fast on Mr.. D~augherty that he retired

confidently predicted that millions Of
dollars will be recovered for the gov
eminent.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
BY J. T.. Jones

BY ]. f. Jones
On a recent occasion President
Harding told an audience hat was
composed of many of the country's
greatest business men that he would
like to charge you men and women of
influence and responsibility with the
task of eliminating from American
commerce those who have no on
science, whose con~scienceless prac-
tees bring that criticism which some
times attends our American activi-
ties Referring to the idiom that
I'VE want a period in America with
less government in business ana more
business in government he observed
that IF he of America
were always consci ntious there never
would be a single excuse for govern
ment in American business"
Almost at the very hour a member
of the presidents cabinet, Herbert
Hoover, was in consultation with an
other group of big business men-the
coal mine operators. Hoover did not
iIllIltc "oIuo Will HIo SIoup bCCduoc
he knew that they were not overburd-
ened with business conscience. His
business with this group was to make
sure that the American public should
not be robbed by unreasonable adj
yances in the price of coal, because
Of the existing annual coal strike. Mr..
Hoover faced the usual excuse that
they couldn't help it," and to this
he replied that the coal industry
would either govern itself or the gov
eminent would govern it," He added
his belief that there would be no diff
ficulty in securing public opinion for
a plan Of getting the public enough
coal and cheaper coal" and he wound
up by exacting an agreement for cost
control along the lines in effect dur
ing the war.
The conference with the coal men
was called by direction OF the presi-
dent, who evidently had arranged with
Mr.. Hoover to put into practice the
things that he was that day engaged
in preaching.
incidentally, the incident illustrates
very correctly the official opinion of
the national capitol towards the coal
operators.
The fate Of Senator Reed in the Mis-
souri, contest is one of the most in
teresting features in the political bat
ties now going OF in the country.
Reed is regarded in Washington as
one Of the great debaterers in the
senate. Perhaps no man in that body
is more interesting, fiery or more elo-
quent. But he is a stormy petrol"
of SO unstable a type that he would
likely plead guilty to most of the
charges hurled at him by Woodrow
Wilson to the effect that he is in
capable Of Sustained allegiance" to
his own causes and purposes, and of
course the senate never likes that
sort Of thing. Many senators try to
operate in this single-handed manner
but they all fail. If Senator Reed
proves the exception in the Missouri
contest it will be solely because he
possesses powers or oratOry n mag
netism with which only Missouri and
J the national capitol are thoroughly
familiar. To give Reed his due: Pat
rick Henry and Daniel Webster had
nothing on him. when it comes tC
forensic debate"
Republican leaders in the senate
are having a rough time with their
bill. They have eve withdrawn some
Of the senate provisions and substi
tuted the original house schedules, In
order to pacify opposition within the
