The Ford Boom.

A press dispatch from Detroit states
that Henry Ford has tntimated pri
vately that he would run for Presi
dent if the people of the country de
sire him to do so,' but he would re
fuse to spend any money to bring
about his nomination or election"
A most creditable position for Mr.
Ford to take, but certain to prevent
the spread Of his presidential boom
outside of Michigan.
To the country at large Mr.. Ford is
known only as business man of ex
traordinary business success and
large wealth. His name Is associated
with no political success. He has
never held Office of any kind. He was
never heard Of in politics until Wood.
row Wilson several years ago suggest
ed him for the Senate. So as Mr.. Ford
has no thought of pushing his politi-
cal fortunes with his personal fortune
with his money means-his boom is
certain not to boom where he Is known
only as a rich business man.
Since Washington's day-and Wash.
ington's wealth had nothing to do
with his elevation to the presidency
only one rich man has received a
presidential nomination. But Samuel
J. Tilden's large means had as little
to do with his prominence in political
affairs as Washington's. He was one
Of the foremost politicians and politi-
cal writer's of his day, and when nom-
mated for President had just achieved
as Governor of New York a great
political triumph.
The contest two years hence will be
between the republicans and the demo
Gratis. Mr.. Harding is reasonably GER.
tain to lead the republicans, and to
match him the democrats will be
forced to name as their leader a man
who by demonstrated capacity for
politics has standing among the fore
most actors in the political field.

Aircraft Regulation.

No Issue can be taken with the
statems Mt Of the Aeronauticai Cham
ber OF Commerce of America that
purely Vocal regulations to govern air
craft operations are inadequate to con-
troll aerial traffic, and that a national
air law is needed. The present local
movement for the control Of air traf-
f1c is the result Of a necessity, and the
hope Is that it will result in federal
enactment.
Obviously, as the aeronautical
chamber points out, it is impossible
for a locality to control air traffic the
origin Of which may be far from that
locality and the destination equally re-
mote. And quite as clearly it would
be futile to attempt to put the regula-
ton Of air traffic upon local bases
even though each community adopted
regulations. Uniformity is the chief
essential, and that can be obtained, it
is only too plain in the light Of other
endeavors at interstate regulation,
through federal enactment.
Tho immediate occasion for the at
tempt to secure q local law is the pro-
cedure on Decoration day. when an

MARYLAND and Virginia.
Subject to the Statute.

Wide effects are possible from the
Supreme Courts decision yesterday
that labor organizations, though unin-
corporated, are amenable to the Sher-
man anti-trust act, that under 1t such
organizations may be prosecuted for
restraint of interstate commerce, that
labor unions may be sued, and that in
cases in point damages may not be
collected because the acts alleged In
the destruction of property We're not
melted for the purpose of restraining
interstate commerce. In peculiar
way this decision both hurts and helps
organized labor. 1t hurts by subject
ing labor organizations to the opera
ton of the antitrust law, and it helps
by releasing a large sum of money
now held for the satisfaction Of dam
ages which, the court rules, cannot be
assessed on the ground stated.
There is an apparent. but only an
apparent. inconsistency in the courts
ruling that unions are amenable to
the law which provides for the inposi-
tion of fine or damages for acts COM
mitted in restraint of interstate COM
merce and the release of funds held as
security for damages in cases under
consideration. These two points are
reconciled by the courts specific
decision that the destructive acts in
question were not designed in re-
straint of interstate commerce. But.
the court held, Congress has the
power to subject to national super
vision and restraint acts which are in
obstruction of such commerce, and to
punish conspiracies in which practices
OF this character are part of the plan
to hinder. restrain or monopolize in
terstate commerce.
Thus the seeming inconsistency is
resolved by the courts judgment that
in the particular case in hand the acts
were not thus designed to restrain
trade. In another case acts of detruc-
tion committed in the course of strikes
might be construed as obstructive of
trade and subject the unions to DAM
ages The immediate release Of large
=
unions Is an advantage to them in
that it makes Immediately available
for strike benefits fund that has
been tied up for a number of years.
But this advantage is decidedly offset
by the decision that union organiza-
tions are amenable to antitrust pro-
cedure and, Furthermore, that even
unincorporated organizations may be
brought into court.
The courts decision is sweeping in
organizations upon the same basis as
commercial corporations. 1t places
upon the leaders a direct responsible
iSy for the ordering and conduct of
strikes which may operate in restraint
os trade. With this ruling standing as
the fundamental law, it is difficult to
see how legislative exemptions can be
effected. It may. of course, be always
set up in defense in case Of prosecu-
ton or suit that a strike or an act
committed in the course Of a strike is
not In restraint of interstate COM
merce. Just what constitutes such an
act, and how far 1t Is necessary to
establish motives. and by what means
such motives can be established in
evidence must remain for the courts
themselves to determine. The broad
effect Of this decision is likely to be in
restraint Of strikes which may develop
lawlessness and destructiveness.

The President as Party Leader

In one particular Mr.. Harding is
having an experience similar to that
of Mr. Wilson. His aid is eagerly
sought on Capitol Hill.
Mr. Wilson responded to all re-
quests readily-so readily, indeed, that
such requests became frequent and
his responses the subject Of criticism.
He was accused Of running things at
both ends of Pennsylvania avenue,
when, as matter of fact, his part at
the east end was being played by re-
quest. He was made the arbitrator in
nearly all democratic legislative differ
enceS.
A good many republican legislative
differences are now being put up to
Mr.. Harding. He is asked to arbitrate
this thing; to say word about that
thing; to get in behind the other thing.
Some of the requests are urgent, and
have been made several times.
Unlike Mr. Wilson. Mr.. Harding has
been a legislator. He knows all the
ropes. His first experience was as a
member of the Ohio legislature. His
second experience was as a member Of
the Senate here. Hence his apprecia-
ton Of a tangled legislative skein, and
his hesitation about undertaking job
of disentangling. He has no desire to
become 1.-The whole show"
Still, he cannot refuse upon solici-
tation to lend hand in the graver
matters at stake. AS the leader Of his
party he is interested in its welfare;
and when it's affairs become "all
balled up" as seems to be the case
now, and a word or act Of his is con-
sidered timely and desirable. he can
not turn his back on party friends
preferring requests.

The Citizens Training Camps.

Plans for this years citizens mill
tary training camps. so successfully
inaugurated last summer as vital
part of the national defense program,
|, have been completed. and already ap-
plications are pouring in. 1t Is true
that the appropriation essential to the
holding of the camps IS not yet avail
able in that the Army appropriation
bill of which 1t is component has
not been reported back from the con-
ference to which it was submitted
after passing the House and Senate
in slightly differing forms. That it
will be available in ample time for the
camps to open upon the 9th of July
as planned. is taken as matter of
course both at the Capitol and the
War Department.
For of the large importance of the
camps in providing for the protecting
of the nation against both external
and internal foes there can be no
question. Headed by Gen. Pershing
himself, those charged with the grave
secare against the future unanimous
ly agree that. in the final analysis. it
is upon the organized reserves that
dependence would inevitably be placed
in the final defense of the nation in
time of special emergency. 1t Is the
purpose of the citizens military train
ing camps to create a strong founda-
ton upon which that reserve may be
efficiently organized.
The success of the camps last year
was so marked, the response Of the
youth of the nation to the clear call

that arrangements for this summer

young men alive to the responsible
ties of the hour and proud of the op-
portunity to evidence their devotion
to the flag which symbolizes America,
to place their names upon the lists
of applicants. That they will do so in
numbers which will once again estab-
lish the readiness of Washington to
meet civic responsibilities even
though denied vital Complementary
privileges is to be expected.

Revival of Employment.

A report made to Mayor Hylan by
the employment division of the indus
trial bureau in New York shows a
marked improvement in the employ
ment situation since that bureau was
opened on the 10th of September last.
During the remaining eleven days of
September 4,610 applicants were regis
tered, lila were referred to possible
places and 700 were placed. In the
month Of October 4,776 were regis
tered, 2,646 were referred and 1851
were placed. During the month of
May 1850 were registered. 1866 were
referred and 1854 were placed This
shows a marked falling off in the num-
ber Of registrations and a great in.
crease in the number Of jobs OBJ.
tained. In the whole period from the
18th Of September to the end Of May
SLIPS were registered, 1887 were
referred and 1891 were placed, a
very gratifying percentage Of employ
ments, showing the results Of organi-
zation.
The falling off of over 1900 from
the October to the May figures in the
number Of people asking for work at
the bureau is in itself an indication
of better conditions. The fact is that
outside Of the coal strike, which has
thrown more than half million men
into idleness Of their own accord. there
is more employment in this country at
present than for more than a year
past. In every line Of business there
is a steady If slow increase and &C.
tiyity. There Is no boom. just as there
has been no panic. The reaction to-
ward normalcy is gradual, just as the
decline into depression was at mod

Of Its own for the first time the occa-
sion will take on Significance deeper
than that usually attached to the oc-
cupation of an organizations new

The meeting will mark the second
great step In the history Of the post
step which, while perhaps not so
far-reaching as the first, is neverthe-
less calculated to exert steadying
influence that should be felt by every
post In the American Legion. The in
itial step, of course, was the forma-
tion Of the post in 1919, the pioneer
ing effort that crystallized into a
movement nation wide In scope.
In the words Of Gen. John j. Per-
shing, member OF the post, as ex-
pressed in a recent telegram to Col
E. Lester Jones. organizer of the post
and chairman Of the committee which
arranged the purchase of the new
home. which is located at the north
east corner Of 18th and l streets. "As
Post No. has always taken the lead
In upholding the broad, conservative
principles upon which the legion was
founded. so will 1t, by example. lead

tion by the purchase Of home"

1t is expected that the move made
here In the National Capital by the
legion's pioneer post will inaugurate

various posts throughout the country
on the basis of permanence signified
in homecoming policy. A number
of the larger posts in other cities al
ready have quarters of their own. 1t
is true, but these are exceptions, rather
than the rule.

thirty rooms. 1t is possessed of a

ism, for it was once the residence of
Gen. Myer. organizer and first chief
of the United States Army signal
service. for whom Fort Myer. Va.

master General Creswell. who served
the government during President
Grants administration; and even of
Gen. Grant himself, at times. The

past by the Russian embassy. and

Did You Love a Rag Dollie?

A story comes from New York that
will strike a responsive chord in the
heart Of every mother and father in
America.
Children in one Of the chief hos
pitfalls of the metropolis were tried
with all manner of dolls-walking
dolls. talking dolls. dolls with real
hair. They loved them all. mothering
them with the tender care little
women always shower on their dollies,
But the one of them all most priced
the one hugged tightest to the little
breast, the constant companion of the
ailing youngster-was the homely rag
! doll.
Do you remember when YOU. too
loved a rag dollie-when you took it
to bed with you at night and tucked
1t under the covers before you went
to sleep? If SO. you will recall. that
you picked 1t up as soon as mother
had dressed you and combed your
hair and washed your face. 1t had a
place on the chair by you when you
ate breakfast. You probably kissed
it fond goodbye before you duti-
fully trotted off to school. and it was
| the first playthfng you sought when
| you came home.
You may have a little daughter now
! in your home who has followed in
, your footsteps, who has her own rag
dollie, which she rocks to sleep at
night, her own curly head meantime
sinking lower and lower until the
t-away-away to that Sunderland
| where all good children are angels
and all children are good.
And mayhap again, when father
| picks her up in his arms and carries
her to her little bed, you go along
dollie beside her. that she may nnd
comfort in its presence If she wakes
during the night and may have it
beside her when she greets the morn
| ing sun.
