Among the public papers OF Pres
ident Harding few will have a higher
rating than his Geographic reply to
a wide-mouthed agitator who circu-
lated the silly charge that the Ad-
ministration would draft unwilling
men for railway and mine work
The rebuke given is singing, but II
il courteous; IL is severe, but 1t Is
temperate and fair, and most richly
deserved.
The United States is not soviet
tied Russia. Its freemen when
they abandon their employment are,
rs the President says, exercising
their constitutional and lawful
rights"
But as those who elect to be idle
are guaranteed the full enjoyment
OF the right not to work, so other
men are guaranteed against molesta-
ton when they elect to work. The
soldiers OF the Republic are as much
Mt the service of the strikers as at
the service Of the non-strikers. Sim
pie are the fundamental principles

Nor is there any taking away
from the railway shopmen the privi-
lege OF appealing 10 the Labor Board
10 reconsider its decision. IL there
has been error. II the shopmen have
unredressed grievances, the way is

In the highways and byways OF

When the President OF the United

only act and the only aim of the
Government are to uphold the law
against violence and crime and TO
protect men who do want to work
In their right so to work he tells It

When the President OF the United

he tells It to the COMPRISES and

And when the President of the
United States tells them these
things and tells them what they
know and what they always have
known is the fact and the truth.
They know no military finger. no
Government finger, has been lifted
10 make a single union man in the
country, on strike or not on strike,

work. They know the sole purpose
and sole use of the Government

President Harding AnslUers
False Strike Leaders
(From the New York Herald).

II was high time that the Presi.
dent OF the United States called :,
account the recklessly irresponsible,
ana cailously INSCRIPTIONS bearers
OF raise witness against the Govern.
ments policy and conduct in the
railroad strike and the coal strike
For in his indignant telegram to ].
Cleve Dean. Mr.. Harding does not
answer merely the chairman OF the
Railay Employees Publicity Asso-
station; he answers Sampel Comp
ers' who has put into the mouth of
the President OF the United States
words never uttered by the Presi-
dent Of the United States and has
attributed to the Government OF the
United States acts never committed
and purposes never contemplated
by the Government of the United
States.
President Harding likewise an
swers Bert NJ. Jewell. guilty of the
same misrepresentation. distortion
and falsehood. He answers Johr L.
Lewis, guilty OF the same odious
practices. He answers the whole
tribe OF incendiary strike leaders
that strive to infisme their deluded
followers and 10 mislead the public
with declarations and descriptions
that are nothing more and nothing
less than falsehoods as to plain
facts and forgeries as TO official
records.
Dean. the publicity agent, had
the impudence and the dishonesty
to accuse the President of the
United States of trying to establish
involuntary servitude" among work
ers by arbitrary DEGREES and mill
tary force. But so have Gompers
and Jewell and Lewis and the rest
Of them said the very same thing
in even more Incorporate as well as
no less unprincipled words.
Dean had the shameless effrontery
10 speak OF the Presidents attempt
10 place American labor under the
gun" But so have ~Gompers and
Jewell and Lewis and the rest of
them ranted the same Insults and

So when the President of the
United States nails the fraud of the

lery. Jr., visited camp on Sunday
and was met by the scout motor boat
in charge of Mr.. Quinn. The ride
down the river is very attractive
one and a little roughness adds to
the excitement OF the trip. The site
of the camp is a splendid one and
provides ideal opportunities for
scouting. There is a beautiful grove
of trees on the camp grounds which
affords plenty of shade in the hot
part OF the day. The view from the
bluff on which the camp is placed
Is magnificent. The boys have a
baseball diamond, volleyball court,
and baseball court so there is plenty
OF opportunity for games in addition
TO the regular scouting program. The
appearance of the camp is very good,
being well pollced and sanitary. Both
the quality and quantity of food is
excellent. The commissioner was es-
pecially impressed with the food and
believes 1t to be the best of any camp
yet. Possibly the menu for Sunday
dinner would be Of interest; Roast
beef. whole boiled potatoes, gravy,
beets. corn on cob and watermelon.
1t was we'll cooked and nicely served
and there was plenty of it. The COM
missioner expressed his opinion that

joying the sea-scout equipment very
much and the opportunities for this
