Business After Funeral
In reverence 10 the spirit of Mr.

rated 80 hours before in the dim light
of the parlor in his New England farm
house by his own father--announc'
ed that no unnecessary official bust

Secretary of State Hughes. Secre'
tary of the Navy DENLY and postmas-
ter General New met him in his exc
cutive office--a bedroom facing
14th Street where street cars rattle
by and the noises of traffic drift up
through the windows. There he dis
cussed the important matters of state.
Secretary DENLY attempted to sub
nit his resignation and was informed
cmphatically by the President that his
resignation was not desired.
Secretary Hughes talked over mat
tiers pertaining to the funeral arrange
ments for President Harding.
Matters of foreign policy,--chief of
which is the Mexican recognition con.

1t is practically assumed that there
will be no cabinet designations for

General Daugherty may seek to re

To Half Mast Flags
The proclamation was issued at the
State Department. 1t was drawn up
at the first official conference of the
President last night Immediately after
his arrival from his Green Mountain
home.
1t was accompanied by an order to
fly all government flags at half mast
until Monday, September 8. There
are to be no official entertainments
until December /. The usual calls of
private organizations or of officials
in body will also be deferred until
September 3.

but they are not masters of the situa-
ton. The Weimar republic has nj
ready utilized the Socialists services
and its foreign policy under their di-
rection has not been different from
that OF Cuno, the great business man.
But the fallacy Of two "Germanies"
has been exploded. That song was
sung to us. before the war when in
May, 1914, four advanced parties went
70 Berne to fraternize with the self.
styled representatives of one of thost
Two Ceramics. But in the following
august the Reichstag was unanimous
m favor of aggressive war and all
Germany followed the Reicfstag. Aft

not before.
Conquered Germany seems to have
adopted the cult If fraud with as much
enthusiasm as conquering Germany
adopted that of force. The writer
speaks not only of the PREPARATIONS
fraud of which France has the right
to complain. All Germany practices
fraud against herself and against Ger
mans as well as foreigners. Thanks
to the clever depreciation Of the mark

The tax payment is nothing but specu-
lation in exchange.
Waste has become a state institu-
ton and the governing law Of private
individuals. Statistics, whether nm
ports or exports, are doctored. For
this gigantic lie serves as screen

No National Ethics.
The wonderful example of admins.

Tern Germanyis nothing but memory
today In no nation are the public
servants so corrupt and nowhere will
men so readily betray their neighbors
for money. 1t is as if moral spring
were broken. There is national tech
nique but no national ethics. And
that is what will make oil negotiations
difficult with that misled people.
Agreements will be made. sigma
lures will be obtained, but when the
time comes for execution, nobody will

That is what has happened in re-

fears will happen in the years to
come.

GERMANS STILL HATE
BY ANDRE TARDIEU.

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
Paris, Aug. 4. - To world sur
feited with amazing and conflicting
emotions comes, as fresh shock, the
news of the death of President Hard
ing. France, even beholden to the
United States, extends silent sym
patty to the people of America in
their hour of sorrow for their pass
ing chief.
Another milestone in the gloomy
progress OF the times has been passed.
Meantime, the European situation
grows more complex.
1t will not be long before Germany
becomes as incomprehensible to her
contemporaries as Soviet Russia. AL
ready she has earned the paradoxical
distinction of being country with
out money.
Who can say whether she still has
national spirit? Some one will reply
that the Ruhr occupation has given
her a new national spirit in the form
of hate. But that reply is too easy
and is not correct. Hate is no new
thing to Germany. 1t was not born in
the disappointment of defeat. Ger
many did not hate us less after beating
us in 1871.
Bismarck was merely the spokes-
man of the school of philosophy which
before the beginning of the Nineteenth
century has taught the Germans to
hate their neighbors. The excuse was
that Germany had suffered much in
the course of centuries. But by whose
fault? Germany hates us because We
beat her. She would hate us If she
had beaten us. 1t is her normal state
of mind and does not explain her pres
ent psychology.
German Has Not Changed.
Nor can the French say the new
democratic tendency is the dominant
characteristic today. The provincial
German has not changed. He is pas

sThere has been too much money
spent in building roads without pro-

Davidson said, "and the result is
seen in some roads not over five years
old that are in bad shape for the
lack of upkeep.
Il am for good roads, and / take
the greatest pride in the splendid
paved highways that are being con-

Judge Gossett explained in detail
the manner in which valley stock

expressed that many valley land own
ers will take advantage of the low
rates the land loan bank offers.
When the subject of good roads
was preached at the meeting. there
were numerous speakers ready to
take up the battle for highway i'm

Highway Commissioner Armistead
commended the progress the valley is
