HRESIDENT HARDING, it has been
r made known, does not see anything
i in the legislative situation in Con-
gress, or in international affairs which
might necessitate an extraordinary session
OF the next Congress. He foresees the
constitutional interregnum from March 4
until the first Monday in next December.
knowledge of the Presidents attitude
upon the subject is expected to stimulate
both houses to speed up work on the pend
ing measures of Importance and the supply
bills, preparatory to get away at noon of
March 4. 1t is thought that not even the
failure Of the merchant marine bill would
result in the calling of an extra session.
While the attention of the public has been
diverted to watching the march of events
in the Franco-German affair, the Senate
has been discussing and committees con-
Sdering rural credits and farmers relief, the
debates and committee talks bringing out
divergent opinions on the subjects.
Senator McCumber, in a set speech in the
Senate the other day, disclosed new angle
to the credits proposition. He said that the
farmers in the cereal growing states do not
want more credits; they say they have Dor
rowed until their borrowings are as much
as their property can sustain, and they
, realize that borrowing from one kind of a
bank to pay another is not reducing their
debts one cent. Creditors are willing to
give any extension if the farmers can fur
nish any reasonable assurance of ability to
pay in the future.
But they do need some kind of as
sistance, for in some states they find that
after raising bumper crops their expenses
are so great that they have not enough left
to pay the taxes on their land. The demand
is coming in that the government buy the
crop on hand at s. bushel for wheat, with
a guarantee that for the next crop the same

HuGgfnE the Old DeIusfon.

\ PARIS dispatch declares. that
"A France is seriously considering
an excursion into Russia to restore
the Russian monarchy. Gen. Baron
Wrangel seems to think that with
French military aid, French NUM-
lions and equipment he can take 49,
900 men and conquer the bolshevtsts.
The general baron failed not long ago
to conquer Russia with twice that
number OF men. And during the past
five years half dozen other generals
and admirals. with ten finest 10000
men, have tackled Russia and have
not made even a dent in her armor.
Why not try reason?
Tho Russians arc human. They
have a mad government, but it is
moro or less dependent upon popular
consent, though, Of course, not so
much as other civilized governments,
but somewhat. IF the allies care to
appeal by decent treatment of Rus
sia, by Enthusiastically disinterested
and humanitarian measures to the
Russian people, it may put Christian
civilization further into Russia than
all OF Wrangel's impotent guns.
And, anyway, what has war done
for this world that we should try it
again? DID it avail humanity any
thing when tho whole world went to
war2. Who Is worse OF, the victim
or tho victors? What creed is estab-
lished in the world by force? Ger
tainly not democracy. A score of
million mon are dead and wounded.
And for what? Why hug the old de-
fusion that war will make MEN free?
Hasn't the human race any inteIli-
gence left?

PLAN TO CAPTURE G.. O.P.
AND 1924 NOMINATION
Progressiv IS Believe Extension of Direct
Primaries Will Give Them
Party Control.

Not unnaturally the old guard, or
conservative wing. of the republican
party is not going to sit down and
permit the progressives to run away
with the situation if it can help it.
1t will be remembered that a year
ago President Harding created a stir
of considerable magnitude when he
made speech attacking the spread
of the direct primary. Secretary Of
War Weeks. in an address. criticised
vigorously the direct primary system,
and only a few days ago, Senator
Ball OF Delaware, speaking in Phila-
delphia, predicted the downfall of the
system Of party government in this
country. and the abolition of repre-
sentative government in this coun-
try unless there shall be a return to
the convention plan of nominating
candidates for President, for Congress
and for other offices.
In Indiana today. where Presiden-
tial primary law is now on the books.
a battle has begun by the party ma
chine to repeal this law so far as 1t
applies to the President and Vice
President. senators and governors.
The conservative element is striving
desperately to do away with the pri-
marles except SO far as they relate
officials. 1t is extremely doubtful,
however, that they will succeed. it is
said.

Exit Big Bill.

DIG BILL HAYWOOD. the Idol of
Russia and definitely has entered the
lists of those who once were the i'm
mortal Has Been Society. He was a
most successful agitator. He could stir
the casual laborer to action as no other
man in America could. The action which
Big Bill advocated was direct action
and bad, because 1t appealed to force.
The poor devil in a casual job has no
more show to win using force than he
has trying to harness the moon. But be-
cause he is a poor fish, because he has
neither brains nor Temperament tn get
and hold steady Job, because the cas-
ual laborer, the harvest hand, the lum-
Der jack, the hard rock miner, the hop
picker, the truck man is at the bottom
Of the industrial scale, he has no more
sense than to rally to a leader who adj
vocates the use Of force. And Big Bill
Haywood was the ideal leader Of the
blind. 4,
To suppose that successful agftator
will make a successful superintendent

But at that, bad as his cause was. bad

good turn by living. He has called at
tention to the oppression Of the casual
laborer. He has made the casual lab
orer know himself. Big Bill has brought
the truth about the condition of casual
labor out of the muck and CRIME into
the light. He bungled the job Of solv-
ing the problem, but with blind rage, in
hate and in jealousy and in a malice
bred by real oppression, Big Bill and
the casual laborer. have laid upon the
table Of American civilization a real
problem--the problem Of the industrial

The Primaries in 1924.

The republican national convention
in 1920, after being deadlocked for
many votes, selected as it's nominee
for President, Warren G. Harding,
now President. President Harding's
name had been submitted to the re-
publican voters Of number OF
states where presidential preferential
primaries were the order of the day,
but with little success. Maj. Gen.
Wood and Senator Hiram Johnson
had carried a number of state pri-
maries. Senator La Toilette Of Wis
consin of course had that states dele
cation sewed up, and former Gov.
Lowden Of Illinois had his state dele
cation and those OF some of the
others.
The progressives. while declaring
for direct primaries for the nomina-
ton of President and Vice President,
have SO far made no effort to get
together on any candidates. In fact,
at their meeting here not long ago, it
specifically announced that the bloc
would make no effort to pick candi-
dates. But when the pre-convention
campaign draws nearer, 1t Is to be ex-
pected that efforts will be made to
center on this or that outstanding
progressive for President. 1t is ex-,
tremely prob1ematical, however, whether
they will be able to pick a candidate
whom all the progressives in the repub-
lean party viii be willing to support.

Three Outstanding Figures.

The three outstanding figures in
Hiram Johnson of California, Borah
of Idaho and La Toilette of Wiscon-
sin. Each has his following. Sem
ator Johnson ran on the old bull
moose ticket with Theodore Roosevelt
in 1912. He was a contender for the
nomination for President at the last
national convention, and had large
following. 1t is to be expected he
will make a bid for the nomination
in 1924. Senator La Toilette, 1t is be-
Iieved, will have the support Of his
own state delegation and also OF some
of the other northwestern states. Sem
ator Borah's following throughout the
country has increased very greatly in
the last two years. His greatest
drawback Is that he comes from a
state which has only eight electoral
votes.
Only recently Senator Johnson and
Senator Borah split wide apart on the
subject of an international economic
conference, which was proposed by
the Idaho senator. What effect this
difference between the two men will
have when it comes to the race for
presidential nomination remains to be
seen.
But, even though the progressives
go into the convention supporting a
number Of candidates, If they go into
the convention with a considerable
majority of the delegates in the ag-
gregate, they may be able to con-
troll, and to prevent the nomination Of
a conservative.
