The Why of Mr.. New

WHEN the President shifted cabinet secretaries
w and made a place for Harry New about the
council table, 1t was not that he did not have
plenty of available timber at his command out of
which to fashion a postmaster general, 1t was
rather that there was necessity at this particular
time for a skilled politician in that department.
Work did not fill the specifications beyond being
a competent and efficient postmaster general. New
comes from the exact kind of stock, not only trained
himself, but previous generations of his line had
earned reputation in political management and
direction and were looked upon in Indiana in the
light of experts. They had much to do with es.
tablishing the school of organization that produced
consistent victories and finally placed Indiana in
the reliably Republican list.
Since Harry Daugherty's condition of health is
not such as to undergo the strain of another prcsi-
Dental campaign, it is seen that Harry New is to
command in the preliminaries, at least. That is
why he was made postmaster general. That is the
political department of every administration. The
political machine if national administration
have such things.
Glance back along the line to McKinley's time.
Mckinley had Charles Emory Smith. Not an out
standing political manager, still no SLOUGH at that,
The times scarcely called for the type that later
came to the front. Mark Hanna was on the job
then and there was need of no supplemental force
Then contemplate such political pastmasters us
George b. Cortelyou, who served Roosevelt; Frank
H Hitchcock, who did the politics for Taft and at
the same time was one of the most able postmas
ters general the country ever had; and Albert s.
Burleson, who played politics good and strong but
ba1ed up the postoffice department for Wilson
Then VIII Hays, who led the Republicans to a
s~even-million victory and became Harding's post
master general. And now Harry New, who will
undertake the preconvention management for
1924.
The first evidence of a new presidential cam
paign for n presidential incumbent comes from ac
tivities in the postoffice department.
Postmasters are supposed to take no part in par
tisan politics, but they do; and they had better
if they desire to continue in office.
While the world sleeps, the business Of presi
dent+making goes on, this far in advance of the
time of open declarations and open hostilities.

Condemned School Histories

PATRIOTS everywhere have of late years been
l. looking into school histories to see exactly
what is being taught American children respecting
their country. They have found that they should
have interested themselves in the matter some time
before. But the mighty howl they have sent up all
over the land about. treason to American tradition
has in a measure atoned for their neglect and has
been the means of sending quite a number of school
histories to the trash can and driving quite a mum
Der of authors of school histories out Of the bust
ness of writing text books.
In this fine work of patriotism such organiza-
lions as the American Legion, Descendants of the
Signers of the Declaration of Independence, Grand
Army of the Republic, Sons of the American Reyo-
luton, Daughters of the American Revolution,
Spanish War Veterans and Veterans of Foreign
Wars, and numerous other similar associations
have rendered valuable services.
At the end of a six-months' investigation by a
committee of superintendent, principals, and
teachers of history, the books listed below have
been found unfit for use in public schools and the
authors condemned:
O'Hara denounces the Boston Tea Party as Who'll
ly lawless destruction of property.
Ward declares the American Revolution was a
content between German tyranny and English
freedom.
Muzzy teaches that wisdom Of break from Eng
land is a debatable question.
Greenlaw argues American Revolution was only
a part of English struggle for liberty.
Guitteau denies the Revolution was an i~solating
event resulting from British injustice.
Mclaughlin and Van Tyne teach that there is
little use trying to learn whose fault 1t was that
tho Revolution began; that the Declaration of In
cpendence was largely plagarized from an Eng
lishman, and that the United States constitution
is copied after the British constitution.
West teaches that the English colonial system
was not tyrannical; that the War of 1872 origin
ated in blunder, and was conducted discreditably;
that only England's heroic support saved our
union in the Civil war, and that British friendship
saved us in the war with Spain.
Everett Barnes teaches that the first signer of
the Declaration of Independence was a smuggler;
that the Continental Congress was made up of
scoundrels; that the Revolution was a party con-
test between neighbors, and that the War of 1872.
was n mistake. The British side is persistently
presented.

Not Speaking for Us.

THE ANNUAL session of the French wine export
L committee recently, does not occur to us to have
been a proper place for a thousand or so Americans
to have foregathered to extend sympathies to
French liquor dealers over the bereavement of the
American market.
High officials of the French government sang
the praises of Frances wine and more than once
It was intimated unoffcially that American prohi.
bition laws were menacing the good will existing
between France and the United States. No doubt,
the Americans present encouraged that sentiment.
The French should not put too much store by
what Americans in Paris have to say about poll
cics of the people of the United States. Americans
who reside in Paris are not of the variety who
dictate the policy of the country, even when they
are at home, much less when they are abroad. The
folks who vote prohibition in the United States
are not the globetrotters and expatriates who idle
away their time in foreign capitals or carouse in
gilded palaces of Old World cities, ~frittering away
the wealth that hard working people at home Great
ed for them.
Prohibition was instituted and will be main
tanned by the plain, every day, moral people of
the country, who have declared their emancipation
from King Alcohol, and they are not greatly con.
cerned over what the French think of the decline of
their Sacred industry" of wine making. Amer
leans who prefer Paris to their own native land
are welcome to stay there and enjoy their wine
and their other CELEBRITIES" but they are not quail
fled or authorized to speak for the folks at home
who are fully capable and ever ready TO sneak for
themselves when necessity arises.

Observation-Disclosures as to oil
activities in Fremont county, indi-
Gates that the Union OIL company of
California expects to drill at least

Should Gather Up the Reins

THE PRESIDENT has consistently held the con-
l. fidemce of the people. He has been a greater
asset 10 his party than the congressional majority.
This self-sufhcient and alI-wise and likewise TON.
heavy majority has opposed and defeated many
splendid presidential purposes that would have
counted in political value in party presentments
to the people next year.
II it should he revealed in the future that the
public has a change in party in mind, the cause of
It will be found in the congress rather than in the
White House.
The president has played a clean and consistent
game OF politics, and If blame attaches to him at
al, 1t is blame for not assuming the leadership of
his party and putting the force Of the presidential
power back of il.
The president had an unruly lot Of school boys
on his hands. Discipline was bad because he at.
tempted 70 rule through soft methods, where the
previous teacher was a martinez and employed big,
stick methods.
With the new congress things may he different.
There will be no such party majority as there
was In the Sixty-seventh session. The occasio will
call for smarter politics, and wiser leadership.

Truly a Party of Prosperity.

fTHREE TIMES, within tho lives OF men now
L living, and covering the history of the Re-
publican party from its birth in 1856 to the present
day, have the people of this country called upon
that party to rescue the nation from industrial.
economic and financial wreck and restore it to sta
bility and prosperity. Three times has the Repub-
lican party performed that duty.
First, under Abraham Lincoln, in 1860, the first
Republican president, when the free trade panic
coupled with a general break down in administra-
ton under Buchanan and admitted by him in his
last official message, had brought public affairs
to the verge of ruin. The Republican party I'M
der lincoln composed the most aggravating civil
strife in history and brought the country under
good order and restored industrial and CONNER
cial stability and progress.
Again, under william Mckinley, in 1896, when
that great apostle of protection and prosperity,
wiped from the statutes the odious Wilson free
trade Measure, kindled fires in the workshops
and factories of wrecked industries and auto
matically closed the soup kitchens and abolished
the bread lines that flourished under Grover
Cleveland.
Once more, in 1920, under Warren Harding, has
n more tremendous mandate been accepted and
thoroughly fulfilled. An unprecedented CONNER.
cial and Industrial depression, a saturnalia Of
reckless expenditure, a reign of shameless ineffi.
cheney, ruin and chaos in public affairs with
bankruptcy the inevitable next step, preceded. Out
Of this condition has come, under the hand Of the
Republican party and Warren Harding, orderly
and stable government, tremendous reduction in
expenditures, economy In all activities, repeal Of
ruinous free trade, restoration of prosperity, re.
duction Of unemployment TO the vanishing point,
Upon each Of the occasions mentioned RopublI,

Style Note

ABOUT the most awkward figure on the boule-
II wards today is the young lady who has grown
up in the flapper period, and is now trying to
adjust herself TO the long skirt. In time, she will,
of course, accomplish the thing she is striving
after, but she will never be the same graceful
figure she was in shorter skirt length. Then they
were all girls, and all adorable. The grandmother,
the mother, the daughter. You couldn't distinguish
them, one from the other and there was no occasion
to do so. They swung along with perfect freedom
of action and movement and contributed much to
drab street scenery.
Now they are shrouded and rolled up in Egyptian
h~abiliments in which there is no beauty, taste or
charm They stumble along and trip over their
own feet, and the wind plays havoc with the numer-
GUS flutterings with which the average costume is
embellished; and the former flapper is having the
time of her life to keep her feet out of the harness.
The grandmother gets away with it all with
some grace and n little credit to herself, but she is
about the only ono of the crew that does.
