LONDON. Sept. %. = An extra
ordinary case of sieep-walling is re-
ported from Fleet. Lincolnshire A Nor
folk man was cycling through the coun-
try, and arriving at Holbeach close upon
midnight was unable to find lodging.
Placing his bicycle against a gate, he
went to sleep.
On awakening he could not find his
machine. He aroused the village con
stable and learned that he had walked
to Fleet, two miles away, in his sleep.
The bicycle was later found where he
had left it at Holbeach.

agree that the biggest issue before the
country has been the industrial situation

Harding's Position.
President Harding's position as party
leader is stronger than it was with con
greSs. His veto of the bonus has stilled
many tongues. IT has been said that he
would waver and finally sign the bonus.
His stiffened attitude has made him
more respected even by the bonus foes
though Senator Reed of Missouri. Demo
crat. made a deep impression with his
argument that If, as MIR. Harding says,
The bonus is class legislation, he should,
to be consistent, veto the tariff bill,
which helps the manufacturing class.
Mr. Harding will naturally be discussed
during the campaign and many of the
Republican leaders like Senator Lodge
and Representative Mondell, who voted
to override the Presidents veto, will
find it somewhat embarrassing to appeal
for support on the stand-by-the-Presi-
dent argument.
So far as the spirit of departing con-
gress is concerned, it is one of conf
dence. The Republicans are sure they
will come back in control though they
cOncede they will not be as numerous
and that the Democratic minority will
be numerically more powerful. But
most members have been so close to the
situation here that they will not insist
upon the accuracy of their predictions.
They expect a Republican victory but
they are not as ill-prepared for surprises
as might be imagined for their letters
from constituents in the last two years
have revealed Il restless, cropping elec-
torate whose true desires have been hard
to analyze or satisfy.

Especial Despatch to The Reformer.)
Copyright 1922.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Congress
is going home wearied and apprehensive.
What will people say? How will they
vote on Nov. Z? Many a member of the
senate and house would give a good deal
to know. For the record is not as easily
explained to the average voter and it is
more easily picked to pieces by critics.
Congress was convened in special ses-
sion originally to pass the tariff and
revenue bills. This has been done at
last The bonus bill was passed but
failed to become law over the Presidents
veto. Tax measures are never popular
and the reduction of the burden was so
slight as to be politically little of an as
set. As for the tariff it will not be in
| full operation soon enough to hurt or
help from a political viewpoint.
What does it leave, therefore, as the
outstanding achievements
Though budget legislation is not spec
tacular or simple of explanation it
stands out as the beginning of an epoch
in government finance. Democrats
credit to go to their Republican breth-
rem, but the fact remains that a budget
system was established under a Repub-
lican administration and the key to
lower taxation lies in the balancing of
| receipts against expenditures. There
have been some efforts, more or less sue
| cessful. to ignore the budget. The pas
sage of the bonus bill was outside the
budget. and the latter would have been
dealt a body blow if President Harding
hadn't killed the measure for the time
being at least.
Budget Not Much Ignored.
Thus far the tendency to ignore the
budget has not cost the government>Very
much and the truth of the matter is
everybody expected congress to ignore it
much more than has been the case. The
budget is not yet beneficial because its
principles have not been firmly en-
trenched but the Republicans can count
it as an asset of the present congress
and for the indefinite future. too. until
it does break down. Unquestionably the
budget ranks with the reform of the ma
tons currency system as a constructive
measure.

the Board are rushing about the coun-
try making speeches in favor of the
bill at Government expense.
The bill provides more money in
the form of subsidies, by fifty per
cent. than the total amount paid in
subsidies bounties and ocean mail
pay by all of the other countries of
the world put together.
President Harding goes to the coun-
try on this measure and says he IS
ready to stand or fall with it. 1t
seems certain that any citizen who
considers these facts, taken from the
minority report on the bill, will agree
that the President who would support
such steal deserves to fall with the
bill he advocates. The minority re-
port was signed by Judge Davis of
Tennessee, Rufus Hardy of Texas,
William B. Bankhead of Alabama,
Schuyler o. Bland of Virginia and
CLAY Stone Briggs of Texas, and is a
mastery and patriotic effort to de-
feat the worst steal ever attempted in
the history of the Government.

of July IL, 1921, Herbert Work, then
first assistant postmaster general, de-
manded Zorn's resignation, which the
postmaster refused to give, saying
that he had done nothing wrong and
that conditions in the office were
good.
Things went along, without any
body rocking the boat, until April 5,
1922, when the Postmaster General
found the innocent appearing little
editorial in the postmaster's news
paper:
"The people are not naming their
babies after Harding there is
reason"
Postmaster Zorn's resignation was
Immediately demanded for second
time in letter from Washington
dated April 5. He was given until
April 18th to vacate, ''for the good
of the SERVICE" the ultimatum said.
Again zorn sat tight, refusing to give
up. sIf this be treason," he wrote
the Postmaster General, 'then make
the most of it," He further wrote
that he was not working for Presi-
dent Harding, but was working for
the people of the United States, and
was no moro working for Harding
than the United States senate or the
house of representatives..
The postmaster general claimed
that this editorial was particularly
offensive in that it referred to "that
NNigger question"
While other trumped up charges
were brought into the case, such as
incompetency, neglect of duty, bet
ting on the election and firing
crooked employe. First Assistant
Postmaster General John H. Barre tt
admitted that the real charge against
the postmaster was his newspaper
activity.
After combating the partisan head

handed for almost a year, during
which time three different inspectors
were sent here to get something on
the postmaster, the axe ell and Zorn
was fired. One of these inspectors,
hard boiled old man, acknowledged
to the postmaster that he was sent
here "to get his goat'' and that he
was getting information from one of
the employees in the postoffice.
Similar policies are being pursued
with at least one other postmaster
who owns a newspaper in this state,
as the heads of the Postoffice Depart
ment in Washington show their teeth
whenever their attention is called to
offensive editorials.
| Zorn was first appointed postmaster
February 5, 1915, by Pr esident Wood
row Wilson. He was reappointed for
a second term on July 16, 1919, and
had year to serve under his last
commission when he was ousted.
When he took charge of the office the
receipts for the first year barely
reached $4,000, while last year they
were over $4,000, an increase of so
per cent, with the same number of
clerks to do the work that the office
had when zorn took charge.

Postmaster Zorn Has Been Fired.

"The people are not naming their
babies after Harding there is a rea-
son.
This is the innocent looking little
editorial which appeared some time
ago in the Gazette, caused Will Fl.
Zorn, the editor, and postmaster of
West Plains, to lose his job as post
master.
The Postmaster General at Wash
ington sent Postmaster Zorn tele-
gram to turn the Office over to the as
sistant postmaster July 1st, but Zorn
refused to do this until he was check
ed out by duly authorized repre-
sentative of the government and his
bondsmen released from further re-
sponsibility., Postofice Inspector
Hodges, Of Joplin, checked out the

excellent condition and zorn turned
over the Office to Assistant Postmas-
ter James P. Morgan.

Reed and Militarism.
ist. Louis Post-Dlspatch. J

tSt. Louis Post-Dlspatch.)
How can Senator Reed reconcile
his plea that he kept the United States
from militarism and the sending of
American boys abroad to fight with
his opposition to the disarmament
treaty and the peace treaties of the
Washington conference?
When the Senator speaks of his
fight on the alleged administration
proposal of an army of $4,000 men,
implying that he defeated it, he is
dealing in campaign CUFF. The $780,
900 proposal was plan of the army
staff, which never came out of the
Military Affairs Com mittee of the
Senate. 1t was based upon the mill
tary view of our needs in view of our
nonparticipation in the League of
Nations. The tremendous naval pro-
gram was based upon the same view
of our needs as an isolated nation and
was adopted by the Harding admin
stration, which proceeded to carry it
out. The army program from the be-
ginning was in the hands of a Repub-
lican Congress, which finally fixed
the program.
The inference of Senator Reeds
statement is that he was for small
armaments and for peace and it was
his efforts which kept down our arma-
ments and kept our soldiers out of
wars.
To the contrary. The only possi-
BILE condition under which we could
abandon our costly and menacing
program for the greatest navy on
earth and could reduce our army to a
minimum was either to participate in
the covenant of peace or obtain q dis
armament agreement with the naval
nations an0 treaties of peace in the
Pacific, at least, where was our great
est menace of war.
Senator Reed opposed both of these
peace and disarmament plans. He
bitterly opposed the League of Ma
tiOns in any form. He fought the dis.
armament treaty and all the treaties
of the Washington conference. Only
two Senators opposed the treaty for
the limitation of naval armaments :
Senator Reed was one of the two. He
fought the only practicable proposal
for disarmament which would enable
us to reduce both army and navy.
Under the Reed policy we would
still be building the greatest navy or
earth in feverish competition to be
prepared for war first; we would in
evitably have been forced to main.
tain large army and adopt universe
training. Senator Reed was the i'm
placable foe of every practical pro-
posal to keep the peace of the world
His was the policy of mititarism.
