CONSUMPTION OF WEALTH.

/ want to tell you if ever there
is another war we will do more
than draft the boys. If l have any
thing to do with it we will draft
every dollar and every other es-
sential.
Did you ever read such a medley
of brazen hypocrisy in your life?
And to think that the words are those
of the president of the United States!
The quotation is from a speech OF
Mr.. Harding to the sick soldiers at
the army hospital in Denver.
The president tells what he will
do in the next war if he has anything
to do with It. Why does he not do
it with this war, for he surely has as
much to do with it as any person in
the United States or on earth? This
val has ended as to battles and SOL
diering, but it has not ended as to
paying for it. That part of it has
not begun. 1t Is just beginning and
Mr. Harding has long since shaped
the policy of the country for SO long
as he remains in Office, and inevitably
for some years thereafter, quite the
opposite to which he says he will do
with the next war. with an eff" in
the way.
Speaking about having anything
to do with it," when it comes to pay
ing for the last war Mr.. Harding has
a great deal more to do with it than
Mr.. Wilson eyer had or ever could
have. President Wilson's part was
TO fight the war and of course to pay
what had to be paid in the form OF
an initial installment as he went
along, and President Harding's duty
is to pay for it--not the next war, but
this particular war, which in a finan-
cial sense, as we'll as in an economic
sense, is still being fought and is to
be fought for the next sixty years.
And what has Mr.. Harding done
toward fighting his part of the war
that he has something to do with

FOURTH OF JULY MANAGEMENT.

Ely has Just held n of the
smoothest and in every way one OF
the best Fourth of July celebrations
in its history, and each person hav-
ing to do with its management is
deserving of the thanks of every res
ident and has the appreciation of the
visitors, many of whom travelled
more than a hundred miles for the
purpose of enjoying it.
These statements apply not only
to Ely but to other places with which
comparisons may be made. There
probably is not a place, large or
small, within 1000 miles where ev-
cry arrangement went off as happily
and satisfactorily as it did here last
Wednesday. And the happiest and
best feature of it all is that the man
agement was forehanded enough to
have the money on hand for every
detail of the large expense and to
pay these ON the minute in cash. For
this fortunate result not the least
credit is due not only to the energetic
members of the finance committee
but to those nonmembers who in the
many general meetings that were
held demanded that the money be
in hand in budget form for every
item of prize money or other expense,
or otherwise cancel the event entail
ing such item of cost.
But with all the things that may
be said in praise of the Ely celebra-
tion and its efficient management,
which applies the same to every cele-
bration anywhere held, there has al
ways been one heretofore u%nfavora-
BILE feature for criticism, which is
Thai of the delays in starting and of
carrying out the details of the pro-
gram with the clock. That occurred
noon, for the afternoon events were
on the minute. There is no use re-
ferring to particular causes, for in
reality there is but one cause and
that is a general n beneath them
all. 1t is that of having a too cum
bersome management, in the form
of too many committees and TOO large
committee memberships. Let them
work as they will and as they surely
did this rear in Ely, they cannot get
the results that can be gotten by a
one-man management.
The next time Ely holds a celebra-
tion it should try the experiment OF
employing a manager and paying him
wages for three weeks or a month,
devoting his time to preparing for
and staging the celebration. Every
man who mi along would not do,
but a live-wire yet conservative mar
like Dan c. Mcdonald, J. D. Wallace,
II. w. Edwards or some four Or five
others that could be named, with a
committee of three in an advisory
capacity. Let chat comprise the whole
staff and hold the manager RESPONSE
lie for every shortening and give
him credit for his achievements. By
so doing you would see a Fourth
without the little vexing incidents
that intrude into every celebration
everywhere. but which Ely suffers
no more than others.

Has he drafted every dollar, or even
as much as one dollar? Has he adj
vocated the drafting OF every dollar
or of one dollar to pay for the war
that he was elected to his present Of
flee to pay for?
Here is what he has done. He
through his secretary of the treasury,
Mr.. Mellen-has fought it through
congress in a most bitter and stub
born manner to repeal the excess
profits tax, a war tax created for the
purpose that Mr.. Harding says he
will draft every dollar for the next
war. If he means what he says about
drafting every dollar, why did he
not permit this tax to continue until
the last wal is paid for?
On the same line was the reduc-
tion of surtaxes on huge incomes.
This has the identical effect, not
drafting every dollar but removing
the burden of paying for the last war
from the rich to the poor, and Mr.
Harding knows it.
<tltCL hNC lin yOuhS hiCh II
been drafted and taken from their
business and employment, the ma
jority of the former sacrificing their
business and of the latter losing their
employment, a bill passed by con-
gress providing adjusted compensa-
ton, but which was slurringly named
the soldiers bonus. was vetoed by
Mr.. Harding because Mr.. Me1len and
big business objected to it. This does
not look much like a disposition upon
the part Of the president to make
share in the losses or cost of
war with those who did the fighting
and died on the fields. On the con-
trary it shows a positive determine
ton upon his part to do the opposite,
compelling young men, as has been
done from the dawn of history, to
lay down their lives in defense of the
slackers behind the lines whose patri-
consists of money changing
and p~rofiteering.
Aside from all these things the
soldier and the common people have
been made the prey of the profiteers
since the war. Prices of things for
by the small producer have been
nothing, yet prices for things to buy
have been sky high, often higher than
the war. Many of these con-
spiracies could not be reached sef-
fectively by present law, but others
been within reach, but where
has there been the effort, the de-
or the will upon the part
OF the administration to bring about
a condition of equality? Where in
deed has the president done one SOL
itary thing more than to utter a few
idle platitudes like the ona he has
just uttered at Denver, with nc sin
certify whatever behind it?
In all the history of politics neve.
there IN u%tterance from the
head of a nation, or a man aspiring
to be one, to compare in downright
demagogy with this Denver uttIrance
of President Harding.

BABBLING
IN THE DESERT

He needs a postgraduate course
When George A. Whiteley finished
his Oxford scholarship and up to
three years ago there were hopes OF
his being a finished product, but not
so any more He used to have that
English toe walk-which, by the
way, is the best walk there is, all
but the looks of it-and he had the
stoutest old pipe and punished the
stoutest brands of ''smokin' in the
land. You would see him hiking up
mornings from East Ely, toe walk
palm drawn over stem AID bowl.
pants cuffed when it was raining in
London, and you could almost catch
him using the his. People used to
hold arguments over whether he was
la Yorkshireman, a Cockney or a
Cousin Jack. But how different! 1t
took a little longer but after all
George A. is Of a kind with the In
dian from Carlisle who dotted Prince
Albert and patent feathers for feath-
ers and blanket, only instead of ten
minutes it has taken some years. So
I say a postgraduate course is need
ed. Before he again comes back it
is to be hoped that he picks it up
where he left off and also changes it
to G. Abraham Whiteley, A. George
Whiteley or something or other to
show that Cecil Rhodes didn't put
his money on the wrong horse.
That's nothing. Nobody is i'm
mune from localisms or contagious
of every kind. Princess Whatever
Her-Name-Is, who is n daughter of
General Fred Grant, admits in the
Saturday Evening Post that when
she came back from Vienna after the
four years under President Harrison
that her father was ambassador
there she spoke English with an Aus
trian accent, and the world is full of
others.
Old Doc Bowes, who three years
ago spent the summer in Ely, told OF
meeting a travelled Englishman from
Bombay while both were touring Eu-
rope. The doctor asked the English
man if he knew DR.. Bowes in Bonn
bay, to which the traveller replied
affirmatively.
HE is my brother" said Doc.
"Impossible!" replied the Briton.
Gle is an Englishman and you are
an American" -
Which was true in neither case.
Both of the Doctors Bowes are Ca
nucks and they are brothers. And
they are of neither English nor Amer
lean extraction. They r first-gen-
GRAFTON descendants from the old sod
north of Ireland, Belfasters or not
far away. But that is what will hap
pen, even to a Mick.
