the enacting clause was stricken out
in the House by narrow majority of
nineteen. But the House OF Repre-
Of the Sixty-sixth Congress
passed the Volstead bill over Prest-
dent Wilson's veto by a two-thtrds
vote. And the Volstead law has ac-
the irritations and resent
ments of the people more than any
other law enacted by Congress.
From the debate on the migratory
bird bill and the result in the House,
it looks as though some of the rep
resentatives Of the people are learn

The Rev. Washington GLADDEN.. one
of the great preachers of the last
years ago wrote:
ANY law. though framed by angels,
that the people did not want and
would not enforce. would not be a
good law for the people. Legislation
on moral questions must follow and
not try to force public opinion. The
whole prohibitory movement puts
physical force at the front and sends
moral force to the rear. This is a
fatal error"
The new congress will be warned

and profit by these comments not to

Along with the Capitalization of
paper purchases and storage in the
government printing Office, should
come similar supervision over the
procurement of envelopes. This has
been recommended to Congress by
George H. Carter, the public printer
In compliance with an almost OBJ
solete provision of law, for many
years envelopes used by the depart
ments and other establishments Of the
government have been purchased un-
der contracts awarded by the Post Of
flee Department. The specifications
and estimates for these envelopes are
drawn by an interdepartmental com
mittee of government clerks who
otherwise have little or nothing to
do with paper specifications and prac-
tically no knowledge of the require
meni. of this office for envelopes suit
able for printing purposes. The result
has been that frequently envelopes
are unfit for the work of the office, or
do not match paper bought either un-
der the schedule Of the government

and the Harding philosophy. He is
the sort of doctor who, as to events
he can not prevent, let's them take
their course. The contrast between
Bonar Law and his predecessor, LloyC
George, is the cause of the gradually
approaching betterment of relations
between Great Britain and France
The tension between those countries
was largely due to the fact that LLOYD
George had the sort of temperament
that is his Lloyd George could never
let a situation rest. 1t was his con
stant talking and advising that irri
tated the French and provoked
reprisals. Lloyd George had the tenn
permanent that could not see a situa-
tion without wanting to do something
about it.
1t would be unfair and misleading
to say these things about Lloyd
George without admitting the contri-
button he made toward winning the
war. But those quick. volatile quail
ties that made him useful in meeting
and surmounting crisis after crisis
while the war lasted were precisely
the qualities that made him less
available as a leader in the period
after the war ended. His contribu-
tions to activity were immense. But
to stability he could contribute moth
ing.
Lloyd George once said of himself
during the war that il was his bust
ness to keep the ship afioat, regardless
of direction. and that any charges
against him of Inconsistency or insta-
bility were minor compared to his
great service of some how preventing
the ship from sinking. In the effort
to keep it afioat he regarded it as
legitimate to stay on the bridge all
the time himself and to take advan-
tage of any and every wind that blew.
But these qualities, and the recol-
lection of his performance during the
war. disturbed the confidence of the
world in him and impaired his use
fulness in a time when the world
needed and longed for. not action, but
rest. One of the wisest of living
statesmen remarked the other day
that the greatest landmark since the
war ended the definite turning point
Of the world toward peace and sta
bility, was marked by the passing of
Lloyd George and by the substitution
for him of a man of calmer tempera-
ment and less hectic activity in the
person of Bonar Law.

The population of the United States
from 1880 to 1920 increased from
around 100000 to 105,ooo.o0o. and
of this increase it is estimated that
3o,0o0,000 was due to net immigration
from foreign countries.

this period the rate Of increase of
native Americans fell off materially.

BY MARK SULLIVAN.


" HERE Is a story known to all
the older generation Of the
Ohio community in which
n President Harding was born
and brought up, a story which became
one of the legends of that neighbor-
hood and which has a bearing on the
present state of the world and Hard
ing's relation to the world, and in
which those who seek the key to some
aspect of Harding's personality and
philosophy of life may find interest and
material for understanding some of
his policies. as we'll as some of his
silences and restraints.
j: X Il
A good many years ago. in the
Miami valley of Chic. there lived
doctor who came to such degree of
fame and fortune as impressed all the
youths of the community and put them
upon inquiry as to the secret of his
success. And the story, as 1t became
known to Harding and all the other
young men of the neighborhood, rested
upon a definite and simple principle OF
life and conduct.
This doctor. as a young .man, had
come to the Miami valley from Penn
sylvania He arrived among strang-
ers, without means or reputation or
friends, or any definite asset except
the diploma which gave him the right
find any patients to treat. After
trying period of waiting the oppor-
tunity came which gave the young
stranger his start.
1t happened that one of the leading
men of the community was slck-a
man so well known that the state Of
his health and the problem Of curing
him were of concern to everybody In
the neighborhood. He and his family
in their anxiety had called in every

fifty miles had been exhausted. When
under all this treatment the patient
became no better his family turned.
by the desperateness Of the case, to
the young stranger. The latter. upon
studying the case, came to the conclu-
sion that the patient had been over
doctored" and "oyerdrugged: Having
this conviction. the young doctor pre-
pared a mixture of water. vinegar, salt
and pepper and gave it to the patients
family, with prescription which In
cluded these injuncttons: That the use
Of all other medicines should be stopped
given a teaspoonful of the new ''medi-
cine" every two hours when he was
awake, but that under no circum-
stances should the patient. when sleep
ing, be walked up for medicine or for
any other purpose whatever,
With reasonable promptness, the pa
tient, under the combined effects OF
freedom from drugs, rest and immunity
from interruption to his sleep, improved
gradually to the point Of complete re-
covery and lived many years as rnonu-
ment to the skill of the young doctor.
The latter, with this happy start and
by the continued practice of the same
kind Of common sense, not only became
know to the whole Miami Valley, but
but actually became a national figure.
1t was the case Of a man who founded
a career on faith in the benefcent quail
ity of the normal operations of nature.

HARDINC'S WORLD CURE
How the Story Of Successful Ohio Ply.

of the President.

his death some years ago, was known
by name and fame to the entire
country. The tale was familiar to
Harding 8 young man. as 1t was to
everybody else in that part of Ohio.
In fact. this is one of the homely sto-
ries which Harding occasionally re-
peats on appropriate occasions. 1t
might not be too much to assume
that his personal familiarity with
this history of a life was an essential
formative years and is a part Of that
philosophy of his which aspires
toward "normalcy" and has faith that.
with time and rest and freedom from
too much doctoring and tinkering,
normalcy will come.
One part of this recipe for the cure
of sick men, or a sick world, Harding
will never practice. 1t would be re-
pugnant to his nature to prescribe, as
responsible statesman, even for
beneficent purpose. the sort of thing
which doctors quite properly use un-
der the name of "placebos." or bread
pills." to satisfy the expectation of
neurasthenic patients to be given
some sort Of medicine. Without max
ing the faintest attempt at even an
outline of complete portrait of
Harding. it can be said that one of
the most obvious of his qualities is
a simplicity which includes both the
unwillingness and the inability to
fake"
When Harding was conducting his
campaign for the presidency from his
home in Marion it was his custom
each morning to call in his helpers
and go over the accumulation of
things to be attended to during that
day. the demands from here, there
and everywhere. that he do or say
things were complex and bothersome
|-bothersome to a degree which re-
duced some of Harding's less placid.
more nervous. helpers to something
like the apprehension of despair.
Harding used habitually to end those
morning sessions with a sigh, which
recognized the complexities involved
in contradictory clamors from differ
ent leaders and different sections Of
the country, but always with the
anyhow" The present writer hap
pens to know that it was this phrase.
and the quality in Harding which it
reflected. that converted to his sup
port a powerful person who had se-
rious misgivings about some other
his position on public affairs.

Harding will never give the world
any bread pills. There is not enough
artfulness in him to prescribe any
combination of vinegar and water and
lead the public to think 1t will do
what he knows it will not. The ex-
tent to which Harding will ever imi-
tate that Miami Valley doctor will be
limited to basing his course on the
theory that the world Is being "over-
doctored." and, for himself, going on
the assumption that the best service
he can do for the world Is to refrain
from adding anything more to the
mass of drugs, panaceas and cure
alls.
Harding will never fake" the pub
lie about anything. The furthest he
will ever go toward lack of complete
frankness is that he may not tell. the
public how fully he relies on time to
change the public's mood akSss some

well, in section 22-35-2 w, has
been connected with the tanks
and was flowing at the rate of Is
barrels an hour. At this rate of

quarter mile north is also flowing
into the tanks again after being
reopened.
The Hogn No. 2 has not been
swabbed nor shot and appears to
be capable of giving excellent

which there has been any report
