WEEKLY NEWS ARTICLE

Washington, Feb. 20.--As might
have been anticipated, President
Harding explains that the most i'm
portant paragraph in his address at
the closing of the Arms Conference
does not mean exactly what it says.
The paragraph is as follows:
II once believed in arms prepared
ness. / advocated it. But | have
come now to believe there is better
preparedness in public mind and a
world opinion made ready to grant
justice precisely as it exacts it."
The sentiment in this declaration
would do credit to Mr.. Harding's
mind and heart. On it's face it would
seem to indicate that President Hard
ing had seen the futility of national
isolation and the disastrous conse-
quences of mere partisan obstruction
to world peace and universal justice
and at last had some perception and
understanding of the sound and prac-
teal idealism which exalted the ad-
ministration Of his illustrious prede-
cessor. 1t now appears that Mr.. Hard
ing's vision" was only a glimmer
and that his opinions are still in a
fiuctuating and uncertain state. He
seems to fear that he may be classed
as pacifist--just why is not appar-
ent. He takes pains to let it be
known that he does not believe in the
complete abolition of armies and ma
vies--who does? That the time has
not arrived for complete disarma-
ment--certainly not.
Mr.. Harding's original declaration
inspired high hopes in those who wish
him well in the conduct of our inter-
national relations; his explanation is
disappointment, but not surprise
to those who have studied his politi-
cal career.

How the Shipping Board Cuts
Expenses"

Mr.. Elmer Schlesinger. General
Counsel of the Shipping Board, has
been telling the House Appropriations
Committee how the Shipping Board is
cutting down expenses.
A list of Shipping Board employees
and their present salaries was recent
ly published in these columns, includ-
ing two employees at $4,000 year
each, one at 100000, two at $4,000,
seven at $4,000, fifteen at $1,000,
nineteen at $4,000, and hundreds of
others at salaries ranging from 49,
500 to $500.
1t does not appear from Mr.. Schles-
inger's testimony that any of these
salaries were reduced or abolished.
When the Shipping Board wishes to
economize it knows at which end to
begin-at least this is the way Mr..
Sch!esinger says they are reducing
expenses:
"Mr. Chairman, we have been cut
ting down our expense as much as we
can. For instance. we recently sent
a mani n our New York office who
has cut down all the stenographers in
that office. He has cut them down, ]

Why Pick on the Farmers Bloc?
Asks COnnally.

President Harding was taken to
task by Representative Tom Connally
| Dem, Tex for attacking the farm
ers' bloc" and at the same time doing
the bidding of the tariff bloc" He
said:
Whatever may be said in deroga-
ton of the policy of forming what
( may be called blocs or groups. either
! to promote or resist legislation, what
| ever may be said as to the merits or
dement's of such a policy, the ques-
ton does occur in an inquiring mind
why the President of the United
States when he begins his attack
against such system should single
out first and above all the little group
in another body who are supposed to
represent the agricultural interests of
the Nation.
"The trouble with the farmer now
is not so much that Congress does not
do something for HIM as it rs that the
Congress of the United States does
not quit doing things to him--that the
government does not stop granting
favors to special interests at his ex-
pense.
II would like to have some one rise
in his place who has the ear of the
upper councils, and point out to the
Congress and the country when it was
that the manufacturers bloc, having
for its purpose the extortion by legis-
lation of tremendous profits from the
agriculturalists and the consumers of
ehe Nation' was ever called TO the car

listing situation. Both the President
and General Dawes announced a di-
rect saving of more than $104, 900,
900, accomplished in less than six
months. The fact is that against this
alleged saving, the President has re-
Gently submitted requests for add
tional appropriations as deficiencies,
amounting to $3.50, 704, 286.49.
81 rejoice that the President reit-
crates his opposition to deficiencies,
because / hesitate to think what
amount would be requested if he was
not opposed to deficiencies.
"If it is correct that $104 100000
has been actually saved by economies,
then that amount should be covered
into the Treasury. This has not been
done, and this amount remains avail
able to the departments for the bal
ance of the fiscal year. fear the
reason why it is not done is that the
alleged savings in most instances
consist only in the postponement Of
actual expenditure until the next fis-
cal year"
Representative Byrnes then takes
occasion to disabuse the Presidents
mind concerning the estimates for the
next fiscal year 1929 which are in
excess of the appropriations and the
estimates for the current fiscal year
1922. He says:
"As the President is under the i'm
preston that thefe has been a reduc-
ton in the estimates for the next ifs
cal year, his attention should be called
to the total of the estimates submitted
by him. Page 9 of the Report of the
Budget Bureau shows Estimates and
Appropriations 1923, total, including
Postal Service, $3,s01, ,659.53, as
against total, including Postal Service,
1922, $3,771, 9OO,51401, an excess for
the next fiscal year of $29, 213, 1852.
"And since the submission of this
estimate last December, the President,
at the instance of the Budget Bureau,
has submitted supplemental estimates
for the next fiscal year amounting 20
$50, 083, 220.25, making the total
amount asked for by the President
and the Budget Bureau for the fiscal
year 1928 just $109, 296, 3G5.T more
than the amount appropriated for the
current fiscal year."

McAdOO indicates Federal Control
of Railroads.


The testimony of VIM. G. McAdoo,
former Director General of Railroads,
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mittee of the Senate, in reply to crit
icisms of his administration of the
transportation lines is generally re-
garded as a complete vindication of
Mr.. McAdoo and a drastic indictment
of the management of the roads prior
to Federal control.
The high points in his testimony
were as follows:
That railroad TRANSPORTATION was in
state Of collapse at the time the
government took control of the roads.
That the roads were operating in
the fall of 1917 with the same equip
ment they had in 1915.
That the roads then needed 1902
locomotives and 159,056 freight cars.
That passenger traffic was in the
same state Of inefficiency as freight
traffic.
That there was congestion and con-
fusion of traffic and duplication Of
effort and expense.
That the credit of the railroads was
destroyed prior to Federal control.
That under Federal control the
needed motive power and cars were
supplied, congestion relieved, living
wages paid to the men and more than
$900,000,000 in rentals paid to the
owners of the roads.
That under Federal control, despite
the burdens of war and increased
wages, the roads had been efficiently
and economically operated, and that
through efficient operation the dan
ger that our troops in Europe would
be cut off from their base of supplies
here was averted.
That since the roads have been re-
turned to their owners they are cost
ing the public at the rate of Alta
731 per month more than under Fed
eral control, or 1857 ,296,722 per an
mum.
This testimony was based on facts
and figures of record and upon the
statements of the railroad executives
themselves.

THE "FLAPPER" AND HER PA

One can, without setting up as a
judge of feminine fashions, at least
understand the attitude of the Chica-
go father who punched his 16-year-
old daughter in the nose as the culmi-
nation of a series Of circumstances
which he presently related in police
court.
"She's tryin' to be one of them flap
pers, Your Honor" explained the hon
est artisan. Il buys her a pair of
good, stout shoes-and what does she
do but throw 'em away and put on a
pair of flimsy things with rubber
boots over 'em-galoshes, she calls
the boots. faint right, l tells her,
but what does she say? IAN the flap
pers is wearing 'em, she says. You're
a 10 model-back up! she says. Next
night / comes home after hard day,
and there she stands in front of the
lookin' glass-pullin' out her eye
brows with a pair of pliers! This is
too much. Are you my daughter p
| says, or are you one of them flap
pers?' You flap outa here says she,
'or I'll give you somp'n to croak about +,
she says. An with that, Your Honor,
l busted here in the nose"
1t was a shameful act, of coursei
the judge was lenient in making it
five and costs. We have seen how
easy it is to start a fashion, and it
would never do to ratify one whereby
wrathful fathers would flatten their
daughters noses. The profile ofithe
nation must be preserved. But, new
ertheless, and for all that, one can
see something of what was in that ia
theirs mind. Flap out! Imagine that!

CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINA.
TONS AGAIN TO BE HELD

vites special attention to the fact that
in examinations held recently in St.
Louis and other cities throughout the
country, for junior engineers and
deck officers, U. S. Coast and Geodet-
ic Survey, and for assistant examin-
ers, Patent Office, applicants were not
secured in the number desired, and
that these examinations will again
be held on March % and %, except
that the examination for assistant ex-
aminers will also be held on March "a.
Persons interested in these or other
examinations should apply to the
Secretary of the U. S. Civil Service
Board at the local post office for de-
tailed information and application
blanks.

The return of Senator Reed of Mis-
sourii is being awaited with much in
terest. Some of the Republican lead
ers profess to believe that the an
nouncement it is anticipated he will
make will indicate his intention not to
enter the primaries, but no such views
are held by the Democrats. Reports
received from the cities in Missouri he
has visited, it is declared, warrant the
conclusion that he will be candidate
to succeed himself and will wage a
vigorous campaign for the nomina-
ton.

The subcommittee of the committee
on appropriations, having charge of
drafting the army bill, expect to re-
port out that measure during the lat
ter part of this week. Missouri con-
gressmen are particularly interested
in the amount which will be allotted to
river and harbor work. General
Dawes of the Budget Bureau recon-
mended $27, 100000 on this item and,
although river advocates insist this
will not be sufficient to do much work
during the next fiscal year, especially
on the Missouri, fear has been ex-
pressed that this would be cut sub
stantially by the committee.

CAPITOL NEWS LETTER

Washington, D. c., Feb. 17.-Only
one new federal judgeship for Mis-
souri, is provided for in the judgeship
bill which has just been reported to
the Senate by the Judiciary Commit
tee of that body. The bill which al
ready has passed the House calls for
the appointment of two new federal
Judges in Missouri.
Word received from Missouri indi-
Gates that this action by the Senate
committee is likely to prove embar-
RAISING to Senator Spencer, unless, by
amendment from the floor, an addi-
tional judge is provided for the West
ern district of Missouri. The judge
ship authorized in the bill is for the
Eastern district, although the docket
in the Western district is fully as con-
gested. Moreover, it is understood,
that Senator Spencer had promised
lawyers in the Western district that
they would have new judgeship and
this understanding had gone SO far as
to provide tentative agreement that
A. L. Reeves of Kansas City would be
honored with the ermine.
In the absence of Senator Reed,
however, the subcommittee struck out
both Missouri judgeships. Senator
Spencer made plea for their restora-
ton but, evidently, made his most
convincing argument as to the needs
of the Eastern district, wherein he
lives. In any event that was the one
allowed by the committee. Senator
Spencer says he will urge another
judgeship for Missouri and it is prob
able that Senator Reed will be here
when the bill is considered on the floor
and it is known that he too will make
a fight for the additional judgeship.
Roy L. Davis, of Columbia, Mo-,
sailed from New York last week as
Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy
Extraordinary from the United States
to Costa RIGA. This is the second high
diplomatic appointment which the
young Missourian has had within the
last two months. He first was named
minister to Guatemala but before he
could reach his post of duty revolu-
ton had occurred and the United
States was not prepared to recognize
the new government. Mr.. Davis, how
ever, had sold his home and made all
arrangements to leave SO the State
Department decided on his transfer to
another post. Minister and Mrs. Da-
Wis plan to stop in Cuba, Jamaica and
Panama before proceeding up the
Central American coast to Port Lmon
and thence by rail to San Jose, capital
of Costa RIGA.
Presidential postmasters nominated
for Missouri during the last week
were: William H. Lerbs, Berger; Oil
yer M. Silsby, Flat River; John A.
Jones, Marshall; Herbert H. A. Red
eker, Morrison; Louis E. Meyer, Bow
ling Green; Charles B. HEM, Louisi-
ana; Omar M. Drysdale, Amoret;
Ralph E. Carr, Eminence; John E.
Swearingen, New Bloomfield, and
Jennie M. Peck, Sheldon.
A twelve-inch corn cob pipe, with
two foot stem, especially made by
cob pipe factory at Union, Mo-, was
presented to President Harding last
week. This monster missouri Nicer
chaum" was accompanied by twelve
smaller ones of the convential type
and, as member of the delegation
expressed it, "If someone would now
give the President about two pounds
of Missouri long-green tobacco he'd
be fixed for Joy smoke"

Doubtless Mr.. Lasker has saved
enough in reducing the salaries of
stenographers and messengers OF pay

other high priced special attorney, or
